Chapter 259 The Death of the Emperor
The emperor's body has long been at the end of its strength, and it is not easy to be able to persist to this day. Seeing him sleeping longer and longer and waking up less and less, everyone knew that there was not much time left for the emperor. His Royal Highness, dragging his sick body, presided over the overall situation in the court.
Xu Shihuan's previous worries came true. Although Wen Yidi was recognized by the eldest princess, she changed her name to Li Yunshen. But when he was an imperial merchant, he left a deep impression on the people and courtiers. Even though he handled the government affairs far better than His Royal Highness, when it came to who should succeed the throne, people still subconsciously rejected Wen Yidi.
It's a pity that the prince's face now looks ugly to the naked eye. In order to let himself live longer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later contacted the miraculous doctor several times, and with the help of the miraculous doctor, he gave up his sense of taste. Now that he heard rumors among the people that he should inherit the throne, His Highness the Crown Prince smiled bitterly, feeling unwilling to do so.
If it were Li Yunfeng who succeeded the throne, he might be relieved. Over the years, he tried several times to attack Li Yunfeng, but all ended in failure. Compared to other imperial brothers who lost their lives early, he still admired Li Yunfeng somewhat. Just because Li Yunfeng dared to attack Li Yunli directly, His Highness the Crown Prince felt ashamed.
As for Wen Yidi, when he first learned that he was using blood from his heart as medicine, His Royal Highness was indeed somewhat grateful to him, but it was only at the level of gratitude. He is just the child born to the eldest princess, and logically speaking, he has nothing to do with the throne of their Li family.
In addition, Wen Yidi grew up in the Wen family and learned things that businessmen would never see on the table. The prince really felt unwilling to leave the country in his hands. Therefore, when someone secretly sent him a letter saying that the second prince Li Yunfeng wanted to talk to him, His Highness the Crown Prince agreed by mistake.
Late at night, the palace eunuch hurriedly came to Xu's house and said that the emperor had sent him to the palace to discuss important matters. Wen Yidi understood instantly that the emperor was afraid that something was going to happen. No wonder, Xu Shihuan did not return home today. It seemed that he had already known about the emperor's upcoming death.
Wen Yidi hurriedly changed his clothes and followed the eunuch into the palace. The palace, which should have been silent, was now brightly lit. The guards, each holding a sword and wearing armor, surrounded the hall tightly. Seeing Wen Yidi coming, they took the initiative to make way, obviously having received the emperor's arrangements in advance.
Wen Yidi walked in and found the Queen Mother and the eldest princess standing guard in front of the bed. He hurriedly moved over and found that the emperor was lying on the bed, already breathing less and out. After Wen Yidi came over, the emperor seemed to have telepathy. He suddenly opened his eyes and his whole body seemed to have strength again.
"Where is the prince?"
The emperor suddenly asked, and the eldest princess immediately replied:
"I sent someone to call. Maybe there was something delayed."
At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly said:
"There's no need to look for it. Yun Shen has come all the way outside the palace, but he hasn't come yet. I'm afraid he got the news a long time ago and has his own evil thoughts."
"Ahem, cough, help me up."
There was another violent cough, and Li Jiayi quickly helped the emperor up. He sat back on the bed and said to Wen Yidi:
"Yun Shen, come here."
"Jiayi, hand my testament into his hands."
Wen Yidi slowly opened the edict and read it carefully. Sure enough, the emperor passed the throne to him. Taking advantage of this moment, the emperor spoke with difficulty and warned:
"If I guessed correctly, the prince should be with Yunfeng at the moment. Don't worry, I know how many people they have in their hands. The officers and soldiers guarding outside the palace now, plus the tens of thousands of Guan family troops I will definitely ensure your smooth accession to the throne."
Hearing this, Wen Yidi couldn't help but interrupt:
"You mean, Guan Jiajun came to Yong'an City?"
The emperor nodded slowly and explained:
"I can see that there is a real relationship between you and Xu Shihuan. She is the only daughter of the Xu family and the Guan family, so they will definitely stand by your side. However, when you become the emperor, you still have to stay. You must be careful and don’t let them get a hold of you.”
After hearing this, Wen Yidi almost laughed out loud. He was still worried before whether Xu Shihuan's rebellion would fail. Now he finally understood why Xu Shihuan never worried about his failure. Together with the back-up the emperor left for himself, it was Guan Jiajun.
The emperor didn't care about Wen Yidi's reaction, just that he was a little helpless in the face of the current situation. So, he continued to warn:
"The prince and Yung Feng have become what they are now, which has a lot to do with me. I shouldn't let them fight in order to keep my throne stable. When they are caught, I hope you can keep them alive. Lives. Whether you let them guard the imperial mausoleum or imprison them in the mansion, as long as their lives are not harmed, I can rest assured and close my eyes."
Seeing that the emperor's face had a look of pleading, Wen Yidi responded in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, I won't hurt their lives." However, it's not up to me to make the decision later, it depends on Xu Shihuan's wishes.
After receiving Wen Yidi's promise, the emperor finally felt relieved. He slowly closed his eyes, then suddenly leaned to the side and lost his breath.
When the eldest princess and the queen mother who were standing by saw this scene, they hurriedly stretched out their hands to detect the emperor's breath. Following a burst of crying, the imperial doctor who was guarding outside the palace immediately rushed in and stepped forward to confirm the emperor's condition.
"The Emperor dies!"
However, along with the emperor, there were also officers and soldiers guarding the palace. The queen mother and the eldest princess were crying sadly when they were suddenly controlled by a group of people who broke in.
Although Wen Yidi was not good at martial arts, he had learned a few life-saving moves and immediately started a fight with the group of people who broke in. The masked man headed by him was particularly powerful in martial arts, and Wen Yidi was almost helpless under his command.
However, while Wen Yidi was being tied up, the masked man suddenly approached Wen Yidi's ear and said:
"Uncle, don't be afraid, the lady is outside."
At this time, Li Yunfeng suddenly walked in from outside, and the prince followed behind him, acting like brothers and sisters.
As soon as the two of them entered the palace, they rushed over to Wen Yidi, apparently ready to take off Wen Yidi's head. Although the Queen Mother was tightly controlled by the masked man, she still struggled desperately:
"Yunfeng, please don't be impulsive! This Yun Shen is your aunt's only flesh and blood. If it weren't for the eldest princess, you would have died in the cold palace long ago. You can't repay kindness with hatred."
"Woooooooo..."
The eldest princess's mouth was tightly stuffed with cloth, and she couldn't say a word. Her eyes were full of tears, and she looked desperately at Li Yunfeng, trying to stop his next behavior.
"Second brother, what are you still doing? Take action quickly! If my father leaves any backup plan, we will be in trouble."
After hearing this, Li Yunfeng's mouth twitched, thinking that the emperor's back-up man was Guan Jiajun. But who would have thought that even though he was here today, none of the people under his command would listen to him. Those people only recognized Xu Shihuan as their master.
Li Yunfeng did not speak, but walked over and picked up the imperial edict that fell next to Wen Yidi. Looking at the content written in the edict, he smiled bitterly. He did not expect that the emperor would actually pass the throne to Wen Yidi.
At this moment, there was a sound of swords outside the palace. After a while, Xu Shihuan rushed in wearing a military uniform.
