Emperor Suwen's condition is getting worse and worse, and he has not attended the morning court for several days in a row. However, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and someone is still needed to preside over the affairs of the previous dynasty.

The cabinet and important officials of the six ministries discussed among themselves, trying to find someone to hold the overall situation in hand.

Since it is a discussion, there will naturally be different opinions.

Now that the crown prince has been reinstated, even though he is becoming increasingly ill, he should still be considered first.

As for whether the emperor will agree when he wakes up, this proposal must be made public.

However, as Li Yunchang had a grandson and his daughter was the imperial concubine of the current dynasty, he naturally disagreed with recommending Xie Yuzhang.

Xie Yuzhang is now a puppet. His illness is serious. He is asked to supervise the country, but what can he do? It is a waste of effort.

According to what Li Yunchang said, it would be better to do it in one go. Even if they have less experience and don't know enough about the major events in the court, there are old ministers like them, so there is nothing to worry about.

The adults present were all shrewd people and they could tell what he meant by that he was secretly recommending his grandson, the Eighth Prince.

However, the Eighth Prince, like the Sixth and Seventh Princes, has never participated in political affairs and is not qualified to take on such a big responsibility.

Of course, there were also people who agreed with Li Yunchang and voted for the Eighth Prince.

After much thought, it is indeed the Eighth Prince who is the most suitable.

So, all the ministers waited outside Emperor Suwen's bedroom until he woke up, and then asked him to make a decision whether to let the crown prince be regent or let the eighth prince assist in being regent.

Li Yunchang was full of confidence. After all, his daughter had been promoted to the first imperial concubine in the harem, his grandson was smart and clever, and he had his grandfather around. There were also many people from the Li family serving as officials in the court. The Li family had also reached an unprecedented height and was just waiting for further progress.

May be...

When Emperor Suwen uttered the words "the crown prince is the regent" in a daze, Li Yunchang's face turned green.

Doesn’t the Emperor dislike the Crown Prince?

Upon hearing this, Eunuch De first knelt down and then kowtowed.

There were also ministers who wanted to ask Emperor Suwen more questions, especially Li Yunchang, but before they could say anything, Emperor Suwen fell asleep again.

Qiu Zhizhong immediately asked several people to leave so as not to disturb the emperor's rest too much.

Soon, the imperial edict for the Crown Prince to be regent reached the Crown Prince's Mansion.

What shocked everyone was that the Crown Prince, who was rumored to be coughing up blood and about to die, and who was so thin that his bones were visible, actually looked full of energy and entered the palace to express gratitude.

What's going on.

Except for the people in the Imperial Observatory and Jiang Hao who knew the inside story, everyone else was completely confused and couldn't believe what they saw.

Li Yunchang went to Yihua Palace.

After the father and daughter dismissed all the palace maids and told Aunt Jingyin to guard the outer hall, Li Yunchang couldn't wait to ask, "Madam, what's going on? How come the medicine you gave didn't kill the emperor but only made him confused?"

Imperial Concubine Chun was also puzzled and shook her head, saying, "I don't know either. The folk sorcerer said that as long as you mix the two medicines and take them alternately, your body will gradually feel unwell, and then your organs will fail and you will die. There will be no symptoms of poisoning, and it won't arouse other people's suspicion."

"The Emperor is indeed ill, but... the symptoms are not right."

Li Yunchang emphasized.

Concubine Chun was also very anxious, but now that the emperor was taking medicine, she could no longer send him nourishing soup: "Dad, do you think someone has done something wrong?"

Li Yunchang was stunned: "Who?"

"Princess Jiahe!"
