For Huang

Emperor Qianqing has been in a coma for too long, and his condition is a little worse than Song Taiyi predicted.His eyes were blurry and he couldn't see things, and his mind was not very clear, so Su Yunzhi lay down beside the bed, pretending to be crying with joy, and shouted the word "Emperor" excitedly.

When Chang Youfu ran in from the outside regardless of his appearance, Su Yunzhi was still shouting nonstop.

Chang Youfu couldn't care about Concubine Shu, so he knelt and crawled to Emperor Qianqing's bedside.He is indeed a loyal slave, Su Yunzhi's excitement is all due to acting skills, but his excitement is from the heart.Because he paid too much attention to Emperor Qianqing, he didn't even dare to touch Emperor Qianqing, and he couldn't control his voice anymore, all kinds of complicated emotions were intertwined, and he couldn't even say a word, Only the choked sound of "woo woo" was left.

Emperor Qianqing squeezed out the sound "ah" from his throat, he couldn't see anything clearly, the ubiquitous pain couldn't even make him sure whether he was alive, but he heard Chang Youfu's voice.He wanted to grab Chang Youfu's hand, just like he used to do when he was a child.

Su Yunzhi watched this scene nervously.For her, this moment is the last darkness before dawn, but it is also the deepest darkness before dawn.If Emperor Qianqing said something that should not be said to Chang Youfu at this time, then she would have to let Chang Youfu "die for the Lord".

Concubine Shu felt that she was too hypocritical, even at this moment, she still wanted to be a good person.

Chang Youfu knew that Emperor Qianqing had something to say to himself. He had completely lost his duty as a slave, and he didn't care about Concubine Shu watching from the side. Put his hand into Emperor Qianqing's hand, and put his ear close to Emperor Qianqing's mouth.

Emperor Qianqing exhausted his last bit of strength and held Chang Youfu tightly.His lips opened and closed, each sound painful.

"Yes, early, early..." Emperor Qianqing squeezed out a few words only after exhausting his strength.

Su Yunzhi's face was mournful, but his whole body was already tense. What is Emperor Qianqing's plan? Does he want to establish a reserve sooner, or do he want to do something sooner?At this most critical time, the only person Emperor Qianqing trusted was Chang Youfu.He didn't give Su Yunzhi his mind at all.And if there is a conflict between what he said to Chang Youfu and the imperial decree written by Su Yunzhi, then Chang Youfu's life will not be saved.

"Okay, okay, I want jujube paste yam cake, I made it myself, your majesty, you must get well as soon as possible!" Chang Youfu cried.

Su Yunzhi let out a big breath of relief.

Jujube paste and yam, these are not valuable things, but for Emperor Qianqing when he was young, the jujube paste and yam cake that Chang Youfu made for him was the most delicious thing in the world.Later, he became emperor, and the empress dowagers kept restricting him in political affairs, but pampered him in eating, drinking and having fun.He is the emperor, he sits in the world, so it has been a long time since he has eaten the cakes made by Chang Youfu himself.

After receiving Chang Youfu's guarantee, Emperor Qianqing seemed to have no regrets at last, and the strength in his hands gradually disappeared.

Chang Youfu hastily lifted up Emperor Qianqing's hand that had already started to slide, and put his old face on Emperor Qianqing's hand: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" He shouted three times, each louder than the first. , When it came to the last sound, the sound was as sharp as a cuckoo crying blood.

Su Yunzhi stared closely at Emperor Qianqing's eyes, those eyes that were unwilling to close gradually lost their spirit.

When Tai Yuanjia hurried over, Chang Youfu wished he could cry and faint. His voice was hoarse and he could no longer make a normal sound.And Concubine Shu was sitting on the side of the bed blankly, her eyes glazed over.If she is really a flower, she is withered.Tai Yuanjia's heart sank.

In the 17th year of Qianqing, the emperor died.

Everything in Qinzheng Hall is in chaos.Tai Yuanjia felt that his whole head was hurting. If he could, he would just collapse and cry and pass out like Chang Youfu. However, he is not Chang Youfu, so he can't faint.The emperor is dead, and the crown prince has not yet been established. One can imagine how chaotic the situation will be!All the ministers in the court have ambitions, and all the powerful families want to reach out.

As far as Tai Yuanjia himself is concerned, as long as one of the six sons of Emperor Qianqing sits on the throne, it doesn't make any difference to him whoever the new emperor is.However, things cannot be so simple.The process of determining the new emperor will be a process of reshuffle of the various forces in Yunchao.

Even if Emperor Qianqing left a sentence before he died, it would be good!Then they know who to support!

Tai Yuanjia suddenly turned his attention to Concubine Shu.Concubine Shu seemed to have lost her mind.The expression on her face was expressionless, and she neither cried nor fussed.However, such a Concubine Shu is even more distressing.As the leader of the imperial army, Tai Yuanjia had met Concubine Shu several times before, and every time she was radiant like the rising sun.However, at this time, there was no trace of freshness on Concubine Shu's body.

"Ma'am, what did the emperor leave behind?" Tai Yuanjia couldn't bear to disturb Concubine Shu, but put all his hopes on Concubine Shu.

Su Yunzhi turned her head slowly, she seemed to have reacted for a long time before she understood what Tai Yuanjia was talking about.Her eyes looked at Tai Yuanjia, but her eyes swept away from his body and looked at a point in the void.After a long time, she suddenly broke down and cried bitterly.

Tai Yuanjia could vaguely hear one or two words similar to "You are so cruel" from the crying of Concubine Shu.

Tai Yuanjia's heart skipped a beat, could it be that the emperor intends to let Concubine Shu die...?Facing such a lively person like Concubine Shu, Tai Yuanjia suddenly felt a little unbearable.Some thoughts that he shouldn't have even appeared in his heart, he felt that he could keep Concubine Shu a secret.

Yes, as long as they don't say anything, who would know that the emperor ordered Concubine Shu to be buried with her?

If Concubine Shu was just a beautiful woman, Tai Yuanjia would not feel sorry for her death; but Concubine Shu is not only beautiful, she is also smart and courageous. All those things he did were seen by Tai Yuanjia and remembered in his heart.

Tai Yuanjia has an unconscious attraction towards Concubine Shu.He thought that this emotion should be attributed to "appreciation".

Su Yunzhi didn't know what Taiyuan Jiadu had imagined.Now that the most critical moment has come, she must not make mistakes in every move, so she wants to cry, because the concubine Shu she plays must cry loudly at this moment.When she finally had enough crying, Su Yunzhi's eyes were already swollen to the point that she couldn't open them.She wiped away her tears and slowly stood up, exchanging her fragility for arrogance.

"My palace has drafted an imperial decree according to the emperor's oral order. My lord, please go and invite all the cabinet ministers in. This palace will announce the decree in front of everyone." Su Yunzhi stood there, as if about to be ordered by the imperial decree However, she still gritted her teeth, unwilling to let others see her embarrassment.She paused for a few seconds, and then said: "Invite a few more old princes and clan orders, don't leave any one behind."

The place where the harem met foreign ministers was in Yanchun Pavilion.Su Yunzhi took the seat.

The cabinet ministers and old princes arrived soon.Regarding the imperial decree that Concubine Shu is about to announce, everyone already has some guesses in their hearts.The capital is under martial law.When the emperor passed away, the most important thing was not mourning, nor was it ringing bells thirty thousand times in various temples.The most urgent task now is to determine the new king.With the emperor's consistent pampering to Concubine Shu, could it be that he gave the right to choose the new king to Concubine Shu when he was dying?

Some ministers frowned.

Even if Concubine Shu has an imperial decree in her hands, so what, the emperor has been in a coma for so long, who knows if he was really awake at the last moment, they can definitely say that this imperial edict was forged by Concubine Shu!You know, Concubine Shu's reputation among the ministers has never been very good.

Therefore, those who want to plan something can continue to plan, those who want to disturb the water can continue to disturb the water, and those who are dissatisfied with the new monarch in the edict can naturally continue to be dissatisfied.Concubine Shu is a woman, even if there is an imperial decree, she can't suppress the chaotic situation!

Su Yunzhi looked extremely tired.

Others more or less thought that Concubine Shu must have benefited from the imperial decree, but only Tai Yuanjia saw that Concubine Shu was wrong.If Emperor Qianqing had paved the way for Concubine Shu before his death, then Concubine Shu would be heartbroken for the death of the emperor at this moment, but she would not have to worry about her situation at all.

But now, Concubine Shu is clearly on the verge of collapse.She was just holding on!

By the way, Concubine Shu also cried not long ago that the emperor was too cruel to her.Tai Yuanjia couldn't help worrying about Concubine Shu.

In front of everyone, Concubine Shu slowly pulled out the imperial decree from her sleeve.Everyone's eyes fell on this imperial decree.What is written above will be related to how the situation will change next.Concubine Shu read the imperial decree word by word.With the sound of her reading out the imperial decree, everyone's calculations were in vain, because Emperor Qianqing issued the most unexpected imperial decree, and it was also the most suitable imperial decree.

Tai Yuanjia knelt down like everyone else and shouted long live my emperor. At this time, he finally understood the pain of Concubine Shu.

Mingming Emperor dotes on Concubine Shu so much, but for the sake of stability in the court, he vigorously promoted Concubine Shu's "enemy" - Empress Gong.No, soon it will be the Queen Mother.Once the Empress Dowager Gong seized power, Concubine Shu, who had once opposed her, would naturally end badly.

This edict was orally ordered by Emperor Qianqing and drafted by Concubine Shu herself.At the last moment of his life, he was too cruel to Concubine Shu.

No one suspected that Concubine Shu had tampered with the imperial decree.Because this decree does her no good at all.No one suspects that she and the Queen of the Palace have done all this together, because the hostile relationship between them is irreconcilable, and because the Queen of the Palace has asked herself to close the palace to pray for blessings.

Su Yunzhi closed the imperial decree and handed it to Tai Yuanjia feebly.Then, she got up to leave, and even staggered a little when she got up.

Tai Yuanjia handed over the imperial decree to the chief minister.This decree is to be taken down and archived.

In the imperial decree, the emperor actually made the queen's son the prince.The Queen of the Palace has no biological son, but since the imperial decree says so, she can completely recognize a concubine as her own son.And as long as she recognizes a son, the new king will naturally be established.The son's succession to the throne is justified.

Because of this imperial decree, the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army, the Defenders, and the two battalions in the suburbs could confidently stand on the side of the Empress.

People who want to make trouble can no longer make trouble because of the words "son of the queen".Because, no matter which prince they tried their best to push to the throne, they would not be able to get too much benefit from it.The Empress Dowager at this time, and the Empress Dowager in the future, she is the biggest winner.

The various forces that want to make a move in the selection of the new emperor actually want to establish a puppet close to their own forces; and now the word "son of the queen" means that the new emperor has become the queen's natural puppet.Of course, the empress has an excellent reputation, so she will definitely assist the new king well.
