Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

On the way back to Fengcheng Palace, Concubine Ling thought about it and believed that tomorrow's morning court was an important opportunity. The emperor was ill again, and she had to seize this opportunity to make a big fuss.

Thinking of this, Concubine Ling raised her hand and called over a few confidants. She whispered a few words in their ears, and they turned around and disappeared into the night as ordered.

Thinking that she would know the results tomorrow, Concubine Ling raised the corners of her mouth a few degrees. Right now, the only one in the court who could compete with Sixth Prince He Hai was Seventh Prince He Cong, and the others were not worth mentioning.

As for the Tenth Prince He Li, when Concubine Ling thought of him, her eyes narrowed. Although this man and He Cong were not from the same mother, they were as close as brothers. If he were to be around, it would be even more of a hindrance.

However, his life or death is currently unknown, which has weakened He Cong's power. Now is a good opportunity to take advantage of his absence.

After such a commotion, Concubine Li dared not sleep a wink the whole night. After the young eunuch brought the medicine back, he asked the palace maid Lingxiu to boil the medicine.

……

Six Princes' Palace

The tall courtyard gate and the two red lanterns reflected something that was not festive, but rather a bit eerie looking at the vermilion gate.

A man in black rode a tall horse and galloped through the night and stopped at the gate of the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

“Bang, bang, bang~!”

This person didn't knock on the doorbell, but slapped it directly, which shows how anxious he was.

In the side room deep inside the wall, a middle-aged man put on his coat and yawned, walked to the door, and said impatiently: "Who is it? It's the middle of the night, can't I sleep?"

"Open the door, the imperial concubine has a message~"

The words coming from outside the door made the doorman Li Si sober up immediately and he quickly opened the door.

The other person raised his head, and under the candlelight, Li Si recognized that the other person was indeed the imperial concubine's man. Just as he was about to speak, the other person walked in.

Li Si glanced outside and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly closed the door. Then he trotted and welcomed the visitor into the main hall, and then knocked on the door of the butler Geng Zhuang.

Due to his low position, he could not knock on the Sixth Prince's door directly, so he could only wake up the butler. Upon hearing this, the butler quickly put on his clothes and knocked on the Sixth Prince's door without saying a word.

The Sixth Prince had been tossing and turning in his concubine's room all night. He had just fallen asleep and was woken up from his sweet dream. He couldn't help but curse.

"I'm dying! I don't know I just went to bed!"

"Your Highness, the imperial concubine has sent someone to deliver a letter!" Butler Geng Zhuang bent over and said with a smile outside the door.

"what!"

He Hai shuddered. His mother must have sent someone here for something urgent. He lost all sleepiness and quickly sat up and put on his clothes.

"Prince, please don't go!" Concubine Fang's smooth hands wrapped around He Hai's tendon meat.

He Hai frowned and pulled her hand away in a cold tone: "Stop making trouble, I have something important to do!"

When He Hai walked into the main hall and saw who was coming, he knew that it must be an urgent matter, otherwise his mother would not send someone over in the middle of the night.

"Your Highness, the Queen sent me to deliver a letter, and I must deliver it to you." As he said this, the other party handed over the letter.

He Hai saw that it was his mother's handwriting, so he quickly opened it and looked at it, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

"Tell the queen that I know it!"

"Yes!"

The man in black stood up and saluted with both hands: "Your Highness, I'll leave first!" Then he walked out again.

"Butler, see the guests off!"

Geng Zhuang quickly trotted out with the man in black.

"Your Majesty, what did the Queen say in the letter?" Xia Chao was puzzled. He knew that the Queen must have something urgent to tell her since she sent the letter so late.

"Look for yourself!" He Hai said as he handed over the letter.

"I didn't expect this to happen. This is a good opportunity. God is really helping me!" He Hai's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Xia Chao, please prepare your writing!"

He Haiyang wrote a few more letters, handed them to Xia Chao, and ordered him to leave quickly.

Looking at Xia Chao's back, He Hai's eyes were meaningful and the corners of his mouth were raised. Success or failure depends on this one move!

As dawn approached, the emperor finally woke up. He felt a little better and the swelling in his throat had subsided a little. Thinking about the morning court session today, he sat up immediately.

"Your Majesty, please sleep a little longer." Concubine Li looked anxious.

The emperor was displeased: "Still sleeping, what time is it? I have to attend the morning court today, hurry up and have someone prepare breakfast and help me change my clothes!"

"Yes!"

Concubine Li hurriedly gave instructions to Nanny Fang beside her.

……

Golden Palace

"I heard that the emperor was ill last night, and I was terrified..." The speaker was the Minister of Revenue Fang Xin.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Several other ministers echoed.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne. Although he looked thin, his eyes were majestic without being angry. He looked down at his ministers like an eagle.

"Oh? You are really well-informed." The emperor sneered in a hoarse voice.

"Ha ha……"

Fang Xin laughed to hide his embarrassment: "The emperor's health concerns the country and the people, so we can't be careless."

"Your Majesty, in our opinion, the appointment of a crown prince cannot be delayed any longer. We can also use this opportunity to bring good luck. There has been no wedding in the palace for a long time.

The position of crown prince has been vacant for a long time, people are uneasy, the court and the people are watching!"

"Your Majesty, I also think that what Minister Fang said is right!" General He also stood up. The matter of establishing a crown prince could not be delayed any longer.

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that General He, who was usually taciturn, would actually speak up at the critical moment.

"I wonder if you two, Lord Fang and Lord He, have any suitable candidates?"

"I think the Sixth Prince He Hai is a man of both military and literary talents, brave and resourceful, and loves the people like his own children. He is the best candidate!"

"..."

In this whole room, there were actually more than ten people who supported He Hai, more than half of them, and many of them supported the seventh prince He Cong.

In response, He Cong said that there was no rush to appoint a crown prince since his tenth brother was not present.

The Eighth Prince He Mo twitched his lips and said, "What Seventh Brother said is not realistic. Everyone knows that Tenth Brother is a dragon that has disappeared. Who knows where he is now living happily? If we want to wait for him to come back, we will have to wait until the end of time."

"In my opinion, how can we leave out our tenth brother when it comes to appointing a crown prince? Your Majesty, am I right?" He Cong looked straight at the emperor.

The emperor nodded: "Cong'er is right! But Lord Fang is also right. I have been feeling tired lately. I should not delay this matter any longer while I am still healthy. Besides, I don't know where your tenth brother is."

"Father, how can I be left out of such a big thing?" An unruly voice sounded.

When He Cong heard this, he was delighted. Isn't this the voice of his tenth brother?

Everyone heard the voice and turned around in unison. As expected, what came into view was He Li's suave figure. His smile hadn't changed, but he had become visibly darker and thinner after not seeing him for a few months.

Someone was unhappy. He Hai's face changed. Why did this kid come back?

"Seventh brother, I think they are right. The appointment of a crown prince is indeed urgent. I rushed back as soon as I learned about this." As he said this, He Li winked at him and smiled.
