Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 51 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (51)

After hearing all this with his mother, Ding Shui decided he couldn't relax. This Emperor Tianwu might be different from some superstitious and weak-willed emperors. So, just in case, Ding Shui decided to stay home for the time being and wait and see how things would develop.

What if Emperor Tianwu doesn't give up until he hits the wall?

As long as your son doesn't die, you won't give up.

Then she can respond in time!
Duke Shu, already dressed in court robes, waited for over two hours, until dusk fell, but received no official order. If Emperor Tianwu truly wanted to consult with them in the palace, he wouldn't have delayed until now. So, the likelihood was that Emperor Tianwu either didn't want to discuss the matter, or would hold off until tomorrow's court session.

Thinking of this, Duke Shu was too lazy to wait any longer.

After learning the intelligence gathered by his confidant and discussing it with his wife for a while, he changed his clothes and went to bed.

What was Emperor Tianwu doing at this time?
Emperor Tianwu had just woken up. Dingshui's blunt threat, coupled with the complete destruction of the Taimiao Temple, leaving none of his ancestral tablets untouched, had given him a greater shock than the misfortunes of his sons. It might have been the straw that broke the camel's back, for he vomited blood.

After vomiting blood, he immediately passed out.

The imperial doctors gave acupuncture and administered medicine.

It took a lot of effort to get him to wake up, and even after he woke up, his mouth was slightly crooked. Although he didn't have a complete stroke, he showed the signs of a stroke.

But he is indeed in good health.

The imperial physician's medical skills are also quite good.

With the efforts of the imperial doctors, after more than an hour, the crooked corner of his mouth was straightened. At the same time, the imperial doctors kept reminding him not to get provoked or angry again in the short term. If he got too emotional, he would have a complete stroke and they might be unable to help him.

Of course, I wouldn't dare say it so directly.

But anyway, the meaning is expressed in a euphemistic way.

There is no way to disobey them. After all, compared with the royal family, these imperial doctors are also a vulnerable group!
Who dares to force him to follow the doctor's advice?

Emperor Tianwu still valued his life more. He drank two bowls of tranquilizing soup and lit several incense sticks. He then asked the imperial doctors to wait in the side hall. Then he left the crown prince alone in the main hall. He took a few deep breaths and asked:

"Tell me in detail about the damage to the Imperial Temple, what fell, and what's happening in the capital."

He fainted a little too early, and there was no time to investigate in detail what had happened. Ding Shui also did not explain in detail what he had done, so Emperor Tianwu naturally did not know much about the specific situation at this time.

"Father, why don't you rest first? It's getting late. Drink a bowl of calming soup and get some sleep."

Although it would be more beneficial for him if Emperor Tianwu suffered a stroke or died suddenly, and he might be able to use this opportunity to become regent or even ascend the throne directly, Crown Prince Zhu Quan still had some filial piety.

He listened to the advice of the imperial doctors throughout the process.

I really felt that after I explained the relevant situation, his father might not be able to hold on, so I had to persuade him.

"Tell me, I'm not that fragile yet!"

Although he said so, after that, Emperor Tianwu took a few deep breaths to prepare himself mentally.

Refusing to accept old age or illness is one thing.

You still have to listen to the imperial physician!

As the saying goes, the old tiger still has its power, not to mention that Emperor Tianwu is not that old yet. With just a low shout, the Crown Prince Zhu Quan was frightened and shuddered. He no longer dared to persuade him and could only helplessly tell the situation he had investigated:
"Father, the Imperial Ancestral Temple is completely destroyed. A large number of buildings nearby have also been destroyed. Only a small amount has been cleared so far, but even though it's small, it's enough to identify what fell. If I'm right, it should be the royal tomb of my deceased younger brother. I'm not sure how many there are yet."

But it is calculated based on the area and height.

It is very likely that the deceased brothers, including the unfinished Mausoleum of King Lu, were carried into the air by the unknown entity and smashed onto the Taimiao.

In addition, the coffin of King Huai's younger brother was also found.

It is now suspected that the coffins in other royal tombs were most likely thrown down along with the royal tomb.

It's just that it hasn't been found yet.

As for the capital, I've already ordered the Imperial City Administration and the Dali Temple to maintain order, so there shouldn't be any problems. However, the destruction of the Imperial Ancestral Temple is impossible to conceal, and the noise was so loud it felt as if the entire capital had been shaken.

But the specific cause of the destruction of the Taimiao should not have been spread, and I, your son, blocked the news in time.

But no matter what, it is definitely not a good sign.

If it was destroyed by natural disasters, then it is a punishment from heaven. If it was destroyed by man-made disasters, then that is also... Alas, I dare not make a final decision. I can only respectfully await the imperial edict of my father.

While speaking, Zhu Quan did not forget to check his father's face from time to time, fearing that he would vomit blood and have a stroke.

Although Emperor Tianwu looked very unhappy and was surprised that it was his several deceased sons Wang Ling who fell from the sky and destroyed the Taimiao, his psychological threshold may have been raised because of the previous events, so he managed to hold on and quickly closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

Trying to calm myself down, I said:

"If I remember correctly, the Qi Palace, Han Palace, and Jin Palace all disappeared inexplicably. I was a little skeptical at first, but now it seems that the county governors' words were not lies. Even if that thing can't move mountains and seas, it is at most weaker than them."

“Moving mountains and seas!
Why did this devil choose to oppose me, and even go so far as to push his own limits? Buried alive! The previous dynasty, and even those barbaric invasions before them, often buried alive.

Why don’t you see her come out to enforce justice!
Could it be that he is bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

By the way, Quan'er, tell me, is it possible that that unknown person has relatives or friends on the list of people to be buried with your Thirteenth Brother? That's why she's so anxious, even running over to threaten me in a rage. Her voice isn't as calm as last time."

"Father, it's possible that she simply doesn't want to see innocent people die tragically. Besides, even if she really has relatives or friends on the list of people to be buried with Thirteenth Brother, so what? Even if we eventually find her, so what?

Can we handle her?"

The prince sincerely wanted to persuade Emperor Tianwu to stop burying people alive with the dead. After all, that unknown existence had said that if his father, Emperor Tianwu, continued to bury people alive with the dead, all of his descendants would be buried with him after his father died.

His descendants undoubtedly included him, the crown prince.

He didn't dare to bet whether the other party would keep him and inherit the throne. If they really killed him together, who would he turn to for justice?

Although it seems that the guy doesn't dare to attack the emperor, maybe he can save his life by succeeding to the throne in front of the emperor's coffin, but can he save the lives of his four children?

Anyway, he was afraid.

But he couldn't ask his father to compromise directly and quickly torture his three brothers who had become completely inhuman, so he could only try his best to point out the real dilemma.

Let his father realize their powerlessness.
