Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 447 King Rui asks for an audience

He had a hunch that Emperor Renjing's stroke must be related to Murong Heng.

Even if he couldn't shake his power, it would be great if he could discredit Murong Heng's reputation and make people think that the emperor's stroke and paralysis was because of him.

It will at least affect the views of some neutrals in North Korea and China.

Wang Defu sighed, and then said slowly.

"The emperor was indeed so angry that he vomited blood because of Prince Rong's incident, and this happened after that."

"Eunuch Wang, are you serious about what you said? Prince Rong had already been taken down at that time!"

"Since Taifu Lin wanted to ask the old slave, but now he questions the old slave's words, what do you mean, if not Prince Rong, what other reasons could the emperor have?"

Wang Defu couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Taifu Lin's expression froze.

Murong Heng's voice was slightly cold.

"Mr. Lin, are you suspecting something?"

"I dare not..."

"If you don't dare, then shut up! My father is seriously ill in bed now. As the prince alone, it is natural for him to take over the power. Or does Taifu Lin think that someone else should take over the power now? Who?"

Murong Heng suddenly smiled.

"Prince Rui?"

"Your Highness, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"

Taifu Lin's knees softened and he knelt down.

Murong Heng did not look at him anymore, but looked at everyone in the hall, his voice was calm and cold.

"Does anyone else have any doubts about Gu?"

No one said a word.

Su Sheng is now in jail and King Rui is not here.

Those who originally supported King Rui's faction suddenly lost their minds.

After a long while, Prime Minister Lu's somewhat weak voice came.

"But the Emperor is still alive. I think His Highness the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne at this time seems a little too hasty, and I am afraid it will lead to speculation... Wu Dinghou, what do you think?"

He turned the topic to Qin Juan.

The Wuding Houfu has always been loyal to the emperor, and the prince and Prince Rui do not take sides. It is most appropriate for him to speak.

Qin Jun hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"Prime Minister Lu is right. The emperor has just fallen ill, and we don't know the outcome. It is inappropriate for His Highness to ascend the throne. However, the affairs of the imperial court cannot be delayed."

"I think it is more appropriate for His Royal Highness to temporarily handle state affairs while His Majesty is seriously ill."

Hearing this, Prime Minister Lu looked a little embarrassed.

Isn't this Murong Heng still in charge?

At this moment, a report suddenly came from outside.

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui is here."

Hearing this, Su Liuer, who had been silent all the time, stared blankly.

After that it was back to normal.

On the other hand, Emperor Renjing, who was on the bed, suddenly became excited after hearing these words, and uttered a few thick syllables in his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Murong Heng narrowed his eyes.

"Prince Rui is still grounded, why did he enter the palace without permission?"

"Back to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Rui said that the Emperor was seriously ill. As his son, he was really worried and wanted to see the Emperor, so he entered the palace on his own."

"He is quite filial."

The sarcasm in Murong Heng's tone was undisguised.

"But it seems that my father doesn't want to see him, so he asked him to stay outside."

"Yes."

The messenger went down.

Murong Heng signaled to the ministers in the palace.

"Now that the matter has been discussed, let's retreat. From today on, Gu will be in charge of political affairs."

Everyone didn't dare to say anything and turned around and left.

Murong Heng stood in front of the bed, his eyes falling on Su Liuer.

"Won't Queen Mother go see Prince Rui?"

"Prince Rui has grown up, and I talk too much. He still thinks I am nagging, so why not accompany the emperor?"

She said slowly: "Heng'er, you all should go. I have something I want to talk to the emperor alone."

Murong Yao nodded slightly.

"I'll take my leave then."

He held Shen Ruoxi's hand, turned around and walked out of the dormitory.

Behind him, Wang Defu also followed.

Murong Heng turned his eyes and looked at him.

Wang Defu paused and then said respectfully.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

"Why don't you tell the truth, Eunuch Wang?"

Murong Heng said bluntly: "When most people saw the scene in the Imperial Study Room at that time, they would think that Gu Qi was sick of my father. Why did Wang Gonggong follow Gu's words?"

Wang Defu said.

"I don't understand what Your Highness said. I have served the Emperor for so many years. I think it is Prince Rong who has made the Emperor sick."

Hearing this, Murong Heng's lips curved into a smile.

"No wonder the prince has been able to serve my father personally for decades."

He is a smart person who can adapt to the situation.

Since he followed her, Murong Heng asked directly: "Father seemed to have said something in your ear last time. What did he say?"

Wang Defu sighed.

"The emperor said three words."

"What three words."

"sorry."

Wang Defu whispered: "I don't understand the deep meaning, but I feel that His Highness will be able to understand it."

Murong Heng said nothing.

sorry?

Is this sentence meant for him or his mother?

But this sentence is too late.

A pair of soft hands held his fingers.

Murong Heng turned his head and met Shen Ruoxi's concerned eyes.

"The matter is over, Ah Heng, don't think about it anymore."

"it is good."

He reached out and held her.

My heart calmed down instantly.

The two of them walked out of the palace hand in hand, only to see Murong Yao standing at the foot of the steps, wearing a purple python robe, with a tall figure and sharp edges, exuding the aura of a nobleman.

The ministers who were about to leave couldn't help but stand not far away, their eyes falling on the two of them.

Murong Heng turned to look at Shen Ruoxi with gentle eyes.

"You go back first."

Shen Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, taking Tao Ye and Leng Shuang with her and walking towards the east palace.

After everyone left, Murong Heng looked at Murong Yao at the foot of the steps, his eyes becoming colder inch by inch.

He is condescending.

"I remember, you are still grounded."

"Yes, but my father is seriously ill, and I am really worried. I was originally waiting for news from the crown prince that you would lift the ban, but no one came. I felt uneasy, so I came to visit my father on my own."

Murong Heng sneered.

Murong Yao's words, on the one hand, secretly showed that Murong Heng forbade him to see the emperor and wanted to monopolize power, and on the other hand, they showed his filial piety towards Emperor Renjing.

But he doesn't accept this.

"After being grounded for such a long time, why are you talking more and more in a weird and weird way? It seems that you haven't reflected on it at all."

"Go back to your Prince Rui's Mansion, my father doesn't want to see you!"

Murong Yao's face darkened due to such lack of face.

"Prince, I am also my father's son. My father is seriously ill. I should see him. It is unreasonable and unreasonable for you to stop me like this!"

"is it?"

Murong Heng took steps and walked down the steps step by step.

Come to him.

He was taller than Murong Yao, and when he looked at him, there was a hint of disdain.

After a while, he lowered his head slightly and leaned close to Murong Yao's ear.

He said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Are you sure you are also my father's son?"
