After my rebirth, I became the Prince Regent's favorite
Chapter 183 The Edict
At the mention of Xiao Sheng's name, Xiao Rui woke up suddenly.
He quickly let go, with a look of fear on his face: "Father, I just made an unintentional mistake. You must be treated like my son!"
The emperor was panting violently, and he was extremely heartbroken at this moment.
Even if Xiao Rui did something unethical and evil before, he never thought about taking his life.
But just now, the son he wanted to forgive actually wanted to strangle him to death with his own hands.
He gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Okay, don't you want the position of prince? I will write the canonization edict with my own hands right now!"
Xiao Rui thought he heard wrongly, so he subconsciously asked, "Father, what did you just say?"
The emperor glared at him angrily: "Don't you want to enshrine the edict? I am satisfied with you, why don't you send the antidote quickly, otherwise how could I write it with my own hands?"
Xiao Rui's face suddenly showed joy, and he quickly walked towards the outer hall.
Not long after, Queen Chen came in with him, with a look of astonishment on her face: "Your Majesty, you figured it out so quickly!"
The emperor hid all the hatred in his eyes and ordered in a cold voice: "I will write a canonization edict, but you mother and son must promise not to harm Concubine Jade and her son in the future, otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Jealousy flashed across Queen Chen's face. She didn't expect that the emperor was about to die and had to protect the mother and son.
But it doesn't matter. As long as her son can become the prince and find a reason to seize Xiao Sheng's military power, wouldn't the mother and son be left to her to learn from each other?
She showed a fake smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely take care of my sister. Our Rui'er also understands the love between brothers and will not let Prince An suffer any injustice!"
The emperor said nothing and waited for her to feed him the antidote.
After his hands and feet were free, he slowly took out the brush from his sleeve.
Xiao Rui looked at him in surprise and asked doubtfully: "Father, where did you get this brush?"
The emperor snorted coldly: "When I heard that you committed a crime before, I was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room. Maybe I put it into my sleeve easily!"
Xiao Rui didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he had to order someone to grind ink and put it on rice paper.
The emperor carefully wrote the edict to confer the crown prince, with strong and clear writing.
When the queen and her son saw clearly what was written above, they were extremely excited.
The two men took the edict in their hands and quickly ordered people to announce that the court officials would enter the palace to witness it.
The emperor glanced at Lin Ruoyou who was standing in the corner without leaving any trace, and quietly handed it over for questioning.
She nodded without trace, which made him feel relieved.
Not long after, the prince's party headed by Prime Minister Lin was seen walking into Weiyang Palace.
The emperor frowned and said, "The matter is so serious that we must invite Prince An in. Without his testimony, I'm afraid he will complain!"
A look of hesitation flashed across Xiao Rui's face. He knew better than anyone that Xiao Sheng despised him the most.
Empress Chen refused with a stiff face: "Your Majesty, since you have written the edict with your own hands, how come the regent can't even recognize your handwriting? To be on the safe side, it's better not to let him enter Weiyang Palace!"
Xiao Rui also echoed: "That is, as long as Prime Minister Lin and the others are here, no one in the court will question anything!"
The emperor was unwilling to give up. He scolded with a sullen face: "What? Haven't you all read my canonization edict? If there is no regent watching, do you think he is willing to admit it? With his temperament, I am afraid that he will admit it directly Tear it apart!"
Queen Chen's face turned pale, Xiao Sheng could indeed do it.
In the entire dynasty, the regent was the only one who was evil and ruthless, and sometimes went crazy. Even the emperor was not afraid of him, let alone the prince.
A struggle flashed through her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty, you won't wait for the regent to come, then change your mind and convict our mother and son, right? Don't forget, what you take is not an antidote at all, you can only speak and move , but there is still a risk of life!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows impatiently: "If you don't believe me, then get out of here!"
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Rui said with a sinister look: "Father, you should know in your heart that the regent is doing whatever he wants with his military power. He doesn't take you as the emperor seriously at all. Only my son is your real son." Rely on!"
Did the emperor just give him a cold look?Oh, relying on you to pry the corners of my harem?
idiot!
A guilty look flashed across Xiao Rui's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then please invite the emperor to come in!"
Anyway, he has already surrounded Weiyang Palace with dead soldiers and secret guards. No matter how powerful the emperor's martial arts is, he cannot fight against so many people with his own strength.
Just give it a try!
He did not hesitate anymore and quickly ordered people to invite all the courtiers waiting outside into Weiyang Palace.
Xiao Sheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He walked into the palace with his hands behind his back, and saw Xiao Rui quickly stepped forward to salute: "Nephew, pay homage to the emperor's uncle!"
He said coldly: "Where is your father?"
Xiao Sheng led him inside, not noticing that his eyes fell directly on Lin Ruoyou in the corner.
Realizing that she was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor was still lying on the bed, and he said with a normal expression: "Lao Liu, are you here?"
Xiao Sheng looked at him suspiciously: "The queen said you were unwell, do you feel better now?"
The emperor snorted coldly: "It's just that I'm old and have low energy!"
At this time, Prime Minister Lin strode in and cried: "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. Since you are busy with government affairs, you can let King Qin share your worries. After all, he is your eldest son!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows mockingly: "Xiang Lin, I'm not dead yet, don't act like you're crying in mourning, get up quickly!"
Lin Xiang wiped the corners of his eyes pretentiously and stood aside.
Then several more courtiers came in, all of whom were important figures in the court.
The last person to come in was King Huainan. He was the first to ask: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by summoning ministers to come to Weiyang Palace like this?"
Xiao Rui was the first to speak: "King Huainan, don't be anxious, my father has something important to announce!"
King Huainan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Big deal?"
Xiao Rui raised his chin proudly, raised his eyes and looked at the crowd and said, "Yes, after careful consideration, my father finally wrote the edict to confer the crown prince. Please come into the palace to preach it in person!"
Everyone had different expressions, especially King Huainan, who looked at Xiao Sheng suspiciously.
Empress Chen handed the rolled edict to Prime Minister Lin: "Prime Minister Chen will preach it to you personally!"
Prime Minister Lin was flattered. He nodded vigorously and then quickly opened the edict.
However, when he saw that it was blank, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by panic.
He subconsciously looked at the high-spirited Queen Chen: "Queen, did you give me the wrong one?"
She immediately became unhappy, frowned and scolded: "How could such an important thing be wrong? Mr. Lin, are you having trouble with your eyesight? If not, why don't you find someone else?"
He quickly let go, with a look of fear on his face: "Father, I just made an unintentional mistake. You must be treated like my son!"
The emperor was panting violently, and he was extremely heartbroken at this moment.
Even if Xiao Rui did something unethical and evil before, he never thought about taking his life.
