Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 124 Your Highness, are you...sure?

After the prince left, Eunuch An came to the old emperor's bedside.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has already left with the Third Prince and Concubine Zhao. They also brought the Imperial Concubine with them. It seemed the Imperial Concubine wanted to kill Concubine Zhao, but the Crown Prince stopped her before she could."

"Well, let's not worry about this matter. Let him do it well. And by the way, think carefully about what I said to him!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind and compassionate. I'm sure it will take him some time to figure it out."

"Yes, the prince and I are different after all. I also hope to have more time to see how far he can go, but I no longer have time!" The old emperor sighed softly.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch An cried out with sobs.

"Come on, you old bastard, you've been crying all your life, why can't you change?"

"That's because Your Majesty spoils this old servant."

"You still have the nerve to say that. You've been crying since you followed me when you were young, and you haven't cried all your tears yet! But no one will see you cry from now on!"

"Your Majesty~" This time, Eunuch An really couldn't help sobbing.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. If you keep crying you will delay my important work." The old emperor felt a little sad. He had given up too much over the years. Now looking back, it seemed that the only person who had not changed by his side was this old eunuch.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders. I, Hiccup, will do it even if it costs me my life." Eunuch An wiped his tears with his sleeves and promised seriously.

"You, you help me up first." The old emperor stretched out his hand to him.

Eunuch An walked over, half-helped and half-carried the old emperor to sit up against the head of the bed.

"Go and get it!" The old emperor's physical strength was really exhausted. Just such a simple action from lying down to sitting made him gasp for a long time. After he caught his breath, he spoke to Eunuch An.

“······Yes!” Eunuch An went out for a while and came back with a bright yellow long box in his hand.

Without the old emperor's instructions, he took the initiative to open the box, took out a scroll of written imperial edict, spread it flat on the old emperor's legs, and went out to bring back a square box with ink in his hand.

He opened the box, took out the imperial seal and handed it to the old emperor.

The old emperor stared at his own handwriting on the imperial edict for a long time before he took the jade seal and stamped it carefully. He looked at it carefully for a long time and smiled with satisfaction when he found nothing wrong.

Eunuch An packed up all the things, held the box containing the imperial edict and looked at the old emperor. After he nodded, he jumped up lightly and placed the box squarely on the beam, leaving no trace from below.

"Okay, I'm really tired this time. I need to take a nap."

"Your Majesty, please sleep peacefully. I will stay here with you." Eunuch An helped the old emperor lie down on the bed, sat down on the footstool, and watched the old emperor slowly fall asleep with his eyes fixed on him.

In the next two days, the old emperor's spirit became even worse. He basically slept more and was awake less.

When he woke up from his coma again, he suddenly became very energetic, his face became rosy, and his voice was two degrees higher.

"An He, go and summon Prime Minister Gu, Prince Ying, Prince Duan, Duke Dingguo, Duke Lu, the six ministers and all the princes!" The old emperor asked Eunuch An to help him wash up and change into clean clothes, then sat on the dragon bed and gave him orders.

"...Yes!" Eunuch An wiped his face, answered, and turned to go back to work. The entire capital had been in a state of tension for the past few days. When the eunuchs responsible for delivering the imperial edict entered the residences of the ministers, everyone finally felt that the dust had settled.

"Your Highness, are you...sure?" Mo Ziyuan stood in the prince's study and asked the prince, whose face was covered with a layer of sadness.

"Eunuch An is my man." The prince pressed his shoulder, and there was something in his eyes that he could not understand.

"Your Highness!" Looking at the hand on his shoulder, Mo Ziyuan's heart moved slightly.

"Ziyuan, I will never become a person like my father, never!" The prince seemed to be talking to Mo Ziyuan, but also seemed to be talking to himself, and the fingers on Mo Ziyuan's shoulders were slightly curled.

"I believe in Your Highness and am willing to follow Your Highness until death!" Mo Ziyuan solemnly made a lifelong commitment.

"Okay!" The prince showed one of the few genuine smiles he had seen in recent days.

"Four of the six gates are already under our control. Gao Yong and Chu Yu are stationed in the suburbs of Beijing with 25,000 troops. Another 5,000 troops were divided into small groups and entered the imperial city two days ago. This morning, they were led by Zhou Qi and distributed around the palace. I have already handed your highness's token to him. As long as I send out a signal, they can enter the palace immediately." After finishing his emotional speech, Mo Ziyuan talked about the results of his busy work in the past few days.

"Okay, success or failure depends on this one move today. Ziyuan, I leave everything to you."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely live up to your trust."

"Let's go, follow me into the palace."

Dingguo Gongfu.

"Master, the Emperor summoned you to the palace at this time. I don't know..."

"It's too early to say anything now. Let's wait until the dust settles before we talk about it." Mo Qilan opened his arms and let the Duke's wife tie the belt of his court dress for him. When he lowered his head, he saw the eager anticipation in her eyes. Although he felt reluctant, he still said something that would disappoint her.

Sure enough, the expression on the Duke's wife's face froze. Although she quickly concealed it, Mo Qilan still saw it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and felt a little regretful for his careless words when he was in love. It is not easy to replace the candidate for the Crown Prince. If it fails, how will he explain to the wife?

"Master, I understand everything." The Duke's wife forced a bitter smile on her face.

Mo Qilan said nothing, gently put his arm around her shoulders and hurried into the palace.

"Mom, what did Dad say?" When his footsteps became farther and farther away, Mo Zichen walked in anxiously and asked.

"What else can I say? Today is not the time to bring up this matter." The Duke's wife immediately retracted her bitter expression and answered her son lovingly while looking at him.

"But there will be no chance after today!" Mo Zichen said dejectedly, slumping himself into the chair.

"No, after the emperor passes away and the new emperor ascends the throne, there will certainly be another war on the border. To show his loyalty to his new master, Mo Ziyuan will definitely go to the battlefield. This time, mother will make sure he never returns." The Duke's wife clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes revealing an extremely vicious look. No one can block her son's path to success. The future Duke Ding must be her son.

"Really? Mom, do you have a solution?" Mo Zichen resurrected on the spot, jumped up and asked happily.

"Don't ask about this. The more you know, the less good it will do you. Just know that no matter what you want, I will find it for you. If I can't find it, I will snatch it from you even if I have to."

"Well, thank you, mother. I know that you treat me the best." Mo Zichen flattered the Duke's wife very skillfully, making her smile.
