Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

The new emperor had been on the throne for less than seven years and had not yet reached the age of thirty when he suddenly fainted in the court.

Everyone in the court was shocked.

General Gu Yun personally sent the emperor back to Qianning Palace.

The outside was filled with ministers, all waiting for news from the imperial physician.

The Queen Mother brought her two children who had just turned six years old with her. She looked worried, but she still suppressed her anxiety and comforted everyone.

"The emperor has been busy with government affairs and worried about state affairs recently. He hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. He must have fainted because he was too tired."

Gu Yun took the lead and knelt down: "It is all because of our incompetence that Your Majesty has to worry so much. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

As soon as he knelt, other ministers also took the responsibility on themselves.

Gu Zhen talked with them for a long time, and even the eldest prince Zhan Yuqi, who had just studied in the upper study for a year, stood up in an orderly manner to appease his subjects.

Seeing that the eldest prince looked more and more like the queen, the ministers could not find any fault with him.

This person who was born with auspiciousness is simply extraordinary. At the age of six, he can earn praise from the most strict master in the upper study room.

I heard that the emperor cared less about the eldest prince than the second princess in his early years, but in recent years, perhaps because he felt that his health was deteriorating, he actually brought the eldest prince to his side to teach him.

As no child was born for six years, the eldest prince's position became increasingly secure.

The ministers almost tacitly accepted that this was the future crown prince, since their daughters would never be able to see the emperor in the harem anyway.

Only Gu Zhen and a few other insiders knew that Zhan Linxiao did not have much time left. He did this because he understood that Zhan Yuqi was his only son.

He did not want the country to fall into the hands of his brothers, and he would rather pass the throne to the son born to a woman he did not love.

The damage caused by floating dreams was so great that now he can no longer feel anything even when dreaming.

Zhan Linxiao had long since accepted the fact that he was impotent.

But he was too ashamed to face the Queen Mother and felt guilty towards Shen Fangshu, so he chose to escape.

Gu Zhen admired his perseverance. In the last two years, he had actually resisted his addiction to floating dreams and forced himself to stay alone in Qianning Palace.

Apart from teaching his son, he is busy handling government affairs.

The consequence of doing this was that his body couldn't take it and he fainted in the court early this morning.

Gu Zhen was lost in thought while the imperial doctors filed out.

"Empress, the Emperor has woken up and is asking you to come in."

Zhan Linxiao lay there, staring at the bright yellow bed curtains. He never expected that the throne he had worked so hard to obtain would be handed over to someone else.

Gu Zhen didn't disturb him and sat beside him, waiting patiently.

"...Queen, you did it, didn't you?"

Zhan Linxiao is not a fool. He has gradually come to his senses in the past two years, but he has long been powerless.

Outside the palace, the Gu family and their clique of followers have absolute power, while inside the palace, the queen is the only one in power and no one can compete with her.

His body had become like this again. Although the imperial physician always said that he was too tired, Zhan Linxiao firmly believed that he was poisoned.

I searched over and over again, but couldn't find anything.

Gu Zhen knew that he had been investigating, but he was in the wrong direction. Zhan Linxiao always believed that he had been given drugs that caused him to become impotent, but in fact he was really overindulging himself.

It was just a dream.

Gu Zhen reached out and touched Zhan Linxiao's sunken cheek: "If the emperor said yes, then it must be so."

Zhan Linxiao closed his eyes, feeling a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart.

"Why? Don't you love me deeply?" It was the same since she entered the palace.

"But the emperor doesn't love me. He loves someone else."

Zhan Linxiao was no longer surprised. He should have thought that the people raised by the Gu family would not be fools who could be played around by them.

"Your Majesty, it's not wrong to love someone else, but it's also not wrong for me to love you. Why can't Your Majesty be fair and square? You want to use my family to pave the way, but have you asked me if I am willing?"

Gu Zhen sighed: "I and my family, we believe that we are worthy of the emperor, worthy of Dayin, and worthy of the people of the world. Now, we are just acting on behalf of heaven."

Zhan Linxiao used all his strength to raise his head. He grabbed Gu Zhen with his dead wood-like hands and said, "Forgive...Forgive Jingpin, she is...innocent."

Gu Zhen pushed his hand away. If she wanted to attack Shen Fangshu, would she wait until now?

At this time, Zhan Linxiao was still thinking about Shen Fangshu, but Shen Fangshu must have been heartbroken in the past few years. She hid in Shouchun Palace and didn't even care when the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were unwell.

He only used the Second Princess's body as an excuse, making it clear that he didn't want to get involved in anything.

This person is tactful and knows how to judge the situation. Perhaps her biggest mistake is that she feels at ease standing behind the original owner's family and reaping the benefits.

Only the hands are clean.

"I am not as cruel as the emperor. As long as Jingpin behaves herself, no one will touch a hair on her head."

Zhan Linxiao felt inexplicably relieved. Should he be glad that Gu Zhen was not a cruel person?

"I am sorry for you. I won't live long. Let Qi'er stay with me. I will make him the crown prince and teach him well..."

After saying this, Zhan Linxiao could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

Gu Zhen covered him with a quilt and walked out with a serious face to announce the decree. At this juncture, who would doubt the words of the Queen? Moreover, there was only one prince in the palace.

Zhan Yuqi naturally became the crown prince.

Gu Zhen waited until everyone had left before personally seeing his brother Gu Yun off.

Gu Yun hesitated several times to speak, as he had only recently pried out some past events from his wife.

"Zhenzhen, I heard from your sister-in-law that the emperor's illness..."

Gu Zhen knew that she couldn't hide it, and Wang Siyu had been very patient to keep it a secret until today.

"Brother, do you think I'm cruel? If you want to blame me, then don't say more. I don't want to hear it."

Gu Yun smiled helplessly. This child was still the same as when he was little. He couldn't bear to hear anything he didn't like.

"Why are you so unhappy about what I said? You're already a mother, but you still have a temper. How can I blame you? No matter what our Zhenzhen does, your brother will cover it for you."

Gu Zhen looked up at him. Wang Siyu only knew one side of the story, and no one except Bi Ru knew that these two children were not the emperor's.

"Brother, if I tell you that I used Floating Dreams on the Emperor but didn't take this opportunity to consummate the marriage with him, what will you do?"

I really want to ask, the Gu family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but to which emperor are they loyal, and which country do they love?

Gu Yun's expression changed instantly. He looked around and saw that it was open and empty, so he was not afraid of being heard.

"The eldest prince and princess..."

Gu Zhen smiled brightly, and with a hint of pride: "Who cares who their father is? After all, they were born from my belly, and their blood is from our Gu family."

"It doesn't matter what the surname is, brother. What's important is that they are my children, Gu Zhen! The one who will sit on the throne in the future and pass it down from generation to generation will be the offspring of our Gu family!"
