Unparalleled Concubine

It was Chen Ju who persuaded the prince, saying that His Majesty had already told him not to embarrass these imperial doctors.

As the evening approached, the Emperor Chengde, who had ruled the country for 19 years, finally reached his deathbed.

Chen Ju knelt beside the emperor's bed, looked at the prince who was standing beside him, and said with tears, "Your Highness, call some princes into the palace and send them to your majesty..."

The prince also burst into tears, choked up and said: "Come here, let some princes enter the palace."

Several young eunuchs immediately rushed down to deliver the order.

The youngest tenth prince and eleventh prince were both under the age of 16 and still lived in the palace. The two of them arrived first and knelt down in front of the emperor's bed and cried loudly.

The other princes all lived in Yongle Fang, and several eunuchs soon arrived at their residence to deliver the prince's edict.

Zhao Wang Jizhong had already given up the idea of ​​competing for the crown prince at this time. After hearing the news, his eyes were slightly red, and he ran to the backyard staggeringly, riding his horse towards the palace.

After Qi Wang Jihuan received the news, his face was expressionless.

"You go back first, the king will enter the palace immediately."

After he changed into a formal attire, he dared to go towards the palace.

At this time, he also knew in his heart that his chance of seizing the heir was very small, and he had offended the prince. When the prince ascended the throne, it would be his unlucky time, so he felt quite depressed.

When the eunuch arrived at Prince Wei's mansion, His Royal Highness King Wei trembled, waved his hands and said, "I know, I'm going to enter the palace now."

He turned around and went back to his study. In the study, Li Xin, Hou Jingde, and Ye Lin were all there.

His Royal Highness King Wei's voice was hoarse.

"Everyone, the royal father is on his deathbed."

The three people in the room all sighed slowly.

The Holy Son of Heaven is a benevolent monarch, the kind of benevolent monarch who is very popular. Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is about to collapse, they feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Li Xin raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window, and secretly thought it was a pity.

"It's not night now, otherwise Yong'an Gate will be watched by our people, and those princes will die under Yong'an Gate."

In fact, the prince is in the inner palace, it doesn't matter whether the other two princes die or not, the key is how to break into the inner palace.

His Royal Highness King Wei took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Everyone, I'm going to the palace right now. Tonight's plan will go ahead as usual, and we will start at Xushi!"

Li Xin took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, shall I follow you into the palace?"

His Royal Highness Wei Wang hesitated for a while, then looked at Ye Lin and Hou Jingde again, and finally shook his head slowly.

"Brother Xin has to take care of everything outside, and Brother Xin just stays outside the palace."

Li Xin nodded and reminded: "His Royal Highness remembers the time, and after Xu time, try to find a way to hide, don't be caught by the crown prince, otherwise we will succeed and fetch water from a bamboo basket."

King Wei nodded slowly.

"Don't worry, Dong Cheng is still in the palace."

Chapter 313 Congrats to the Son of Heaven!

Since ancient times, the occupation of the emperor has generally rarely lived a long life.

Most of them die at the age of 40 or [-]. There are many ways to die, and most of them are due to poor health.

It may be that this kind of supreme position in the world requires a strong enough destiny to be able to bear it.

Although Emperor Chengde was in good health, after being stabbed, the root cause of his illness fell. After barely supporting himself for a month, he finally came to an end.

At this moment, he was unable to speak anymore, but he could barely hear some voices. The emperor was in a daze, only heard some crying, and the voices of several princes talking.

Among the several princes who stayed in Beijing, the third prince rushed to Changle Palace first. After arriving at Changle Palace, he knelt down in front of the emperor's window without saying a word, and wept: "Father..."

The emperor tried his best to open his eyes a crack, and saw his third son, whose clothes were not very neat, kneeling in front of him in embarrassment.

Pity……

The emperor felt a little regretful.

This third son was originally a very good candidate for the heir apparent, he was courageous and enterprising and had a pure filial heart, but unfortunately he had flaws in his temperament and could not be entrusted with great responsibilities.

Not long after, His Royal Highness King Wei rushed over in a hurry, and he couldn't help but kneel down, trembling all over: "Father..."

His voice was choked with sobs: "Father, wake up and take a look at your son..."

The emperor really wanted to speak back to the two sons, but unfortunately, he had only his last breath left, and he really didn't have the strength to speak again.

At this moment, the sky has gradually dimmed.

The fourth prince, Ji Huan, was the last to rush to the bedroom of Changle Palace, and when he arrived, he knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Of course he was also sad. After all, human hearts are made of flesh. Emperor Chengde treated others generously and never treated his sons harshly. Now that he is going to die, the fourth prince is naturally very sad.

But more is unconvinced.

The prince has done nothing but eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all these years, and he has worked so hard to manage the courtiers for so many years, and now he can be said to have great powers in the court. In his opinion, he should be the heir apparent no matter what. , but in the end, they couldn't compete for the word "prince".

The crown prince is not the son of a legitimate son, to be precise, he just lost to the word "long".

All the sons in the capital had arrived, and the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

He no longer has the ability to control the situation. After closing his eyes, what happens in the capital depends entirely on how God arranges.

Thinking of this, the emperor slowly closed his eyes and moved his mouth.

The prince was also kneeling on the ground, but when he saw this, he quickly stood up and listened to him, wanting to hear clearly.

The emperor exhausted all his strength and said the last sentence.

"Don't...don't hand...siblings...killing each other."

The crown prince thought the words were addressed to him, tears streaming down his face, bowed his head and said: "Father, don't worry, I will write it down, my brothers will not do anything rebellious, I will not make it difficult for them."

The emperor's eyes widened and he refused to close them.

Chen Ju on the side understood the emperor's intentions, he stood up with tears in his eyes, and said with a sob: "Your Majesty's decree orders all princes to live in harmony and not to kill each other!"

His Royal Highness King Wei, who was kneeling on one side, was shocked.

He knew in his heart that this decree was for him. The emperor meant that if King Wei wins, he is not allowed to kill a few brothers.

His Royal Highness King Wei lowered his head and gritted his teeth fiercely.
