Quick Wear: No one can stop me from extending the life of the male supporting role
Chapter 46 The Sickly Prince 13
Lu Changning, who was rushing to Kyoto while thinking about how to proceed, received a big surprise from the emperor before he even reached Changle Palace.
"In compliance with the will of Heaven... the Sixth Prince Lu Changning is appointed Crown Prince... I decree this."
Huh? Hahahaha??? This thunder is so big that it can kill him right there.
"This old servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After saying this, the messengers knelt on the ground, waiting to be rewarded. Lu Changning was in no mood to reward them, he wanted to trap them all.
Looking at the large group of people kneeling in front of the carriage, Lu Changning's heart, which was still beating, completely died! He wanted to escape, but there was no way to escape.
How did he become the crown prince? Lu Changning couldn't understand why the strong and healthy eldest brother and fifth brother couldn't catch up with him who was at low health.
"Hurry, go into the palace. I have to go to the palace to resign. Go quickly."
Holding the imperial edict, Lu Changning's hands were shaking. Seeing him like this, Qiu Yue reached out and gently placed his hand on his wrist, rubbing it gently to comfort him: "Master, it's okay to be the crown prince. We will always be by your side."
"No, I can't be the crown prince." The hard work and excitement of the past few days made him cough anxiously.
"You don't know. I can't be the emperor. I will become a sinner of Daliang and a tyrant who will be infamous for eternity."
Qiu Yue didn't understand why Lu Changning said that: "Master, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You have the ability to be the emperor."
Lu Changning's throat was burning with pain, and he clenched the imperial edict in his hand tightly: "Although I want the best for Liang, I don't want to take on this burden myself. The court is full of factions, and there are many local heroes. The surrounding countries are also eyeing it covetously. Even if I don't want to admit it, I can't change the trend of Liang's collapse. Jingming, I can't save this huge country by myself, and I don't want to bear the stigma of a king who lost his country. I am cowardly and selfish, and I can't bear it. I don't want to be the prince."
Although Qiu Yue still supported Lu Changning's ascension to the throne, he thought about the situation in Liang State and thought that if his master ascended the throne, he would face too many difficulties. His health was still not good.
My heartache for Ye finally won out: "Well, no matter what you want to do, I support you."
Inside the palace, the eldest and fifth princes were still inside the hall when they heard the palace attendant come in and report, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is kneeling outside the hall. I hope you can take back your decision."
The other two princes were fighting for it, but this one was stuffed into his arms, and he actually refused to accept it.
"Humph, he does see the situation clearly."
The fifth prince was anxious: "Father, my sixth brother doesn't want it, why do you have to force him?" Pass the throne to me, I want it.
The emperor didn't even spare a glance for his son: "Bring the sixth son in, let's all listen to why he doesn't want it, and it will also help you brothers to gain some ideas."
As soon as Lu Changning entered the hall, he saw the eldest and fifth sons kneeling on the ground, and he quickly followed them and knelt beside them. He kowtowed respectfully to his father who was sitting at the top: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. Please take back your order and let me continue to enjoy my life."
The eldest prince almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. He cursed in his heart, "You are so ungrateful. I thought you really didn't want it, but I didn't expect you to still be pretending at this time."
The fifth prince was even more straightforward and rolled his eyes. He had already gotten it, but he was still refusing. What were they, brothers? Clowns?
The emperor was sitting on top, looking at the expressions of his other two sons below, and suddenly laughed: "Sixth son, after thinking it over, I think this position should be passed on to you."
The hairs on Lu Changning's back stood up. He kowtowed to the ground with a thud, saying sincerely, "Father, I have no capable ministers to assist me, and I don't have the intelligence and wisdom to help me. I really can't solve the predicament of Liang State at this moment. Please choose a virtuous person to succeed me. I am ashamed to accept the position."
The eldest brother turned to look at his younger brother, and for the first time, he felt a little strange: "Sixth Brother, Daliang is peaceful and prosperous, so how can there be the difficulties you are talking about?"
Lu Changning got up from the ground and looked at the sincere and serious face of the eldest prince. He felt a little choked: Daliang is about to be destroyed, and you still tell me that the sea is peaceful and the rivers are clear? Do you think the country now deserves this word? No wonder the dog emperor would rather pass the throne to me than to you. So you are still living in your own dream.
The decision to support the eldest prince was suddenly shaken at this moment.
Turning to look at the Fifth Prince, he had an even more innocent look on his face.
Lu Changning suddenly felt defeated. With so many brothers, he couldn't even choose one to support. He cursed the second brother for his recklessness. Otherwise, with the second brother's cowardly character, it would not be difficult for him to control the world by holding the emperor hostage. He could not only avoid taking the responsibility for the country's demise, but also save the country to the greatest extent.
But now, he was pushed to the front, just like the original owner.
This is fate, there is no way to escape it. Even if I have taken the medicine and ruined my body, I still cannot escape the fate of becoming famous.
Lu Changning didn't want to resist anymore. Looking at the emperor sitting on top, he felt some sympathy for the first time. What's the point of having many sons? In the end, there won't even be one who can ascend the throne.
The old emperor saw all the changes below. Seeing the sixth son sitting on the ground dejectedly with a resigned look on his face, he felt much better: "Sixth son, I have handed this country to you. You will have to bear the consequences for the good and the bad. If something goes wrong in the future, you will have to explain it to the ancestors."
Just when Lu Changning was feeling hopeless, hope suddenly appeared at the door.
The biological mother of the Fourth Prince, the foreign princess, the Imperial Concubine of Daliang, rushed in without paying any attention to the guards' obstruction. She fell to her knees and said, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me."
The old emperor looked at his beautiful concubine below and wondered, "Why are you here instead of staying in the harem?"
The imperial concubine burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I just received news that the Third Prince's wife met with the Sixth Prince in a restaurant the day before the banquet. I suspect that the two of them teamed up to kill my child. Please, Your Majesty, help me and bring the murderer to justice."
At this time, the emperor had just appointed a crown prince. The eldest prince knew that his chances of turning the tables were limited, but he still wanted to give it a try: "What, there is such a thing? Sixth brother, what else do you have to say? Is the matter of fourth brother really related to you?"
Lu Changning looked at the people in the room, feeling extremely tired. He had no intention of beating around the bush with them anymore. "I did meet Third Sister-in-law once, but we parted on bad terms."
The emperor stared at his son with a look that no one could understand: "I've never heard that you have any history with the Wen family. Why are you going to see her?"
"Indeed, we have no relationship. That is why I am curious about why the Third Prince ambushed and assassinated my guards."
The imperial concubine's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Lu Changning: "You are talking nonsense. You are going to plot with that bitch from the Wen family to kill my son."
The emperor's voice became colder: "What's going on? Sixth Brother, tell me clearly."
There was no need to hide it, and Lu Changning didn't intend to hide it. He hoped that this matter would be exposed and his position as the crown prince would be abolished: "The conversation at that party didn't go well, which led to Wen Bi's murderous intentions towards me. She wanted to get rid of me at the banquet."
Lao Wu suddenly remembered: "Yes, the place where Fourth Brother was poisoned was originally yours."
The eldest prince also remembered that he had laughed at Xiaoliu for being injured and losing the job of offering sacrifices to the ancestors. But could it be that all this was his plan? Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart.
Everyone in the room figured it out. The imperial concubine stared at Lu Changning viciously, wishing she could tear him to pieces: "How did my son offend you to make you want to kill him?"
Hearing this, Lu Changning suddenly laughed. He raised his hand and slowly lifted up his clothes, revealing the thin and pale arm underneath his clothes: "What the Imperial Concubine said is funny. If it weren't for your bowl of poisoned porridge back then, how could I have become like this? You never thought that the bottle of poison from more than ten years ago would end up in your son's bowl many years later."
"Ah! You lunatic, I will kill you, I will kill you to avenge my son. I was the one who poisoned him, you want to kill me, what does it have to do with my son? What does it have to do with him!" As he said this, he was about to rush up and tear the murderer to pieces.
The fifth prince held the imperial concubine tightly to prevent her from really rushing forward. Lu Changning knelt on the ground, facing the fierce imperial concubine, and did not move an inch.
He gently put down his sleeves and calmly straightened his hem: "Royal Concubine, you can't blame me for this."
"Because from the beginning, I didn't want to kill him. This wasn't the path I left for your son. From spreading the news to causing fear, to causing trouble at the palace gates and causing me to get hurt, to the person who was chosen for the ancestor worship being replaced. The development of things is beyond my control."
"Royal Concubine, reflect on yourself. It was he who pushed me at the palace gate and broke my bones; it was he who took my place in the palace as an ancestor worshiper; and it was he who took the seat at the banquet and took the poison. Everything he did seemed to be deceiving me, but every one of them was also forcing him to death. I left him too many ways to survive, but the fourth brother would not let me go, not even once, and in the end he chose the only way to die among the thousands of ways I left. Royal Concubine, is there nothing wrong with your education?"
