After Honghui left, Yixiu said to the maid: Go tell Su Peisheng that my son doesn't care about the position of crown prince, and if he wants to take it back, then he can take it back.

Don't tell me, I don't want to see him again.

The maid nodded and said yes, and then she went to tell Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng was speechless when he heard the emperor's words, but these had nothing to do with him, a eunuch.

Tell the emperor what Yixiu said.

After hearing this, Yinzhen was silent for a long time, and after a while he did not continue talking about this matter.

During the morning court session the next day, before Yinzhen had even opened his mouth, some ministers began to ask the emperor to appoint a new crown prince, saying that the eldest prince was indeed not suitable to be the crown prince.

The main reason is that Honghui performed too mediocrely, and even the ministers who had stood on his side before have now turned against him.

Honghui stood in the hall and said nothing, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

After the conversation with his mother yesterday, he already knew that his father would not live long.

If he had always been the crown prince, he might have lived two or three more years. But now that he was courting death like this, his mother would not let him live too long.

The second prince Hongyu is ten years old this year and is the heir that Yinzhen is more satisfied with. As for why he can't wait until Hongyu grows up before making a choice?

The main reason was that Yinzhen thought he could control everything. He had been in control of the court for so many years, so he had no taboos.

But he didn't know that even if Yixiu and Honghui didn't harm the child, there were people who wanted to kill him.

The reason why Honghui was fine as the crown prince was because of his great ability and also because of his mother, Concubine Yixiu.

It’s hard to say what would happen if it happened to someone else.

There are only three people who support Honghui, and one of them is Lei Ming. Of course, his support is not open, but behind the scenes.

The other two were the Minister of War and the Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Works was just neutral. He didn't know that when Honghui ascended the throne, he would not be used.

Honghui was trained by Yixiu to be very stingy. As long as someone is not on his side, he will regard him as an enemy. Even if the other party is not on either side, he will never use him in the future.

At best, it would not be destroyed, so Honghui said nothing in the hall, but just watched these people coldly. When he was still the prince, he tried to curry favor with them, but now they gave up so quickly.

Although he understands, he will not forgive. Honghui even remembers these people, so there will not be any good development. Even if the other party has great talent, he will not continue to use them.

In the end, the dethronement was not successful. The main reason was that to dethrone a crown prince, there must be a reason. It is not something you can just say is inappropriate. Moreover, although the process is not complicated, the crown prince must have done something wrong.

After all, the prince is just dull, not stupid, and he has not made any mistakes. If he is deposed so easily, the people will only think that the officials and the emperor are taking things too lightly.

And Honghui does everything in a proper manner. It doesn't steal the limelight, nor does it lag behind. It just ranks in the middle.

This delay lasted for two years. Honghui was already fifteen years old, and Yinzhen's health was getting worse day by day, and he slept longer and longer.

No imperial physician could find out the cause, and there was no sign of poisoning. Even chronic poisons can be toxic, but no matter how they checked, there was no sign of poisoning.

The only thing that could be found out was that Yinzhen's body had been drained over the years.

Sleep is just the body's automatic way of resting and recuperating.

That day, Honghui came to see Yixiu and said while eating: Mother, I have prepared everything and am just waiting to ascend the throne.

After hearing this, Yixiu thought for a while and nodded: "Then you should prepare well. Yinzhen will have at most three months, during which time your mother will ask him to directly write the imperial edict to pass on the throne."

It would be more convincing if you ascended the throne while he is still alive. Although we don't need it, it would save us a lot of trouble.

Have you found ministers for various positions in the past two years?

Honghui nodded and said: I have found it, and General Lei also helped a lot.

Yixiu smiled and nodded, saying: Just be a good emperor, the Lei family will not rebel, you can trust it.

Once you sit firmly on the throne, Lei Ming will hand over all military power to you.

Honghui said helplessly: Mother, I am very satisfied with General Lei. Besides, I will not suspect anyone casually.

After all these years, doesn't the mother know her son? If they are her own people, her son won't doubt them. If they are not her own people, they are all enemies.

It’s just that some of the enemies are mortal enemies, while some are insignificant.

Yixiu smiled and nodded, saying: It’s okay, it will take at least a few years for you to get established, and he will be old in a few years. You should find someone you can trust, and Lei Ming can be a prince of a different surname.

When his children grow up, they will be able to help you.

After all, you are brothers. Children educated by your mother will not have infighting.

Honghui smiled and said: Don't worry, mother. My three younger brothers are very well behaved. I visit them often, and the three little guys like me very much.

Yixiu smiled and nodded, saying: Of course they have to like you, you are their eldest brother. Although you don’t have the same father, you both have your mother’s blood, so naturally there won’t be any barriers between them.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. When Yinzhen got up one day, he said to Su Peisheng: Go and prepare the documents. I want to write the imperial edict to pass on the throne.

Su Peisheng was a little shocked when he heard this, but he still prepared honestly. Yinzhen didn't write Honghui at the beginning because he had already ruled out Honghui in his mind.

After all, now that he doesn’t even call me father, how can he still be responsible for family affection?

But when he wrote it down, the name he wrote was Honghui.

After seeing it, Yinzhen wanted to throw it away and rewrite it, but then he felt he had no energy left and thought he would write it tomorrow.

Su Peisheng didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he was surprised when he saw this name. He didn't expect that the prince would succeed to the throne in the end.

After putting away the imperial edict, she helped the emperor to sleep.

The next day, Yinzhen remembered to continue writing the imperial edict of succession, but he found that he could not get up. Su Peisheng saw this and called the imperial physician.

After taking the emperor's pulse, the imperial physician did not dare to say anything to Yinzhen, and could only say to Su Peisheng: The emperor only has one or two months left.

You go and make the arrangements. The emperor's health is beyond cure. By the way, please ask all the concubines in the palace to come and see him.

This imperial physician was from Yixiu's family, so he was not as scared as the others.

Su Peisheng was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he said: Can the emperor still get up?

The imperial physician shook his head and said: You can only lie down for the next few months, and you don’t even have the strength to speak.

Just feed him some liquid food, the emperor doesn’t have the strength to chew.

Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng said with some sadness: Yes, I will go and notify the concubines in all the palaces to come and visit the emperor.

When the various palaces learned the news, they were all shocked, but they still rushed to the Qianqing Palace to see Yinzhen.

Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan are both here, only Yixiu is missing.

Everyone has become accustomed to it. After all, no matter what the matter is, this person will not come. But Yinzhen is seriously ill now, and I wonder why this person still didn't come?

Concubine Hua still dislikes Concubine Duan. She beats Concubine Duan for no reason and only makes a few sarcastic remarks when they meet.

After all, there is no Nian Gengyao now. Although she is a concubine, she is not as arrogant and domineering as in "Legend of Zhen Huan".

Everyone went to see the emperor together. They found that although the emperor was awake, he could no longer speak. Everyone came to pay their respects, and then Concubine Hua began to arrange people to take care of him.

Two concubines came to take care of us every day, but Yixiu was not arranged, mainly because everyone knew that even if you arranged for her to come, she would not come.

It’s better not to arrange it, so as to avoid embarrassing yourself later.

Preparations for Honghui's ascension to the throne have already begun outside, and the court is now presided over by Honghui. After all, the emperor is already like this, so the prince still has the final say in the court.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed and Honghui had successfully ascended the throne. He conferred titles on the concubines in Yinzhen's harem, except for his mother, who was named the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. No one else was conferred a title.

In other words, in the harem, Yixiu was the only empress dowager, and the others just added the word "Tai" in front of their titles, such as "Taifei" or "Taipin".

Yixiu came to Yinzhen's palace wearing a bright yellow empress dowager's dress. She had an aura more powerful than anyone else. It could even be said that even Yinzhen was a grandson in front of her.

These are all secondary. The main thing is that the empress dowager is too young, and you are too beautiful. With a look like yours, how could Emperor Yinzhen let go of you?

The most important thing is that she is so beautiful. No wonder she used to wear a veil. Even Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua were stunned when they saw Yixiu.

Is this person so beautiful when he grows up? After seeing Yixiu's appearance, he looked at the emperor lying on the bed, and suddenly felt that this man might be blind.

He didn't want such a beautiful concubine and left her idle for more than ten years.

If Yinzhen knew what they were thinking, he would definitely spit in their faces. Is it because I don't want it? Is it because this damn woman doesn't even give me a chance?

Although as the emperor he could force the request, the other party didn't seem to care. At that time, it was not that he didn't want to force it, but unfortunately he didn't dare to.

It’s not because I’m afraid of Yixiu, but because I always feel that if I do this, something bad will happen.

Lying on the bed, Yinzhen looked at Yixiu's face, which was so beautiful that even jealousy was unbearable. He tried hard to smile, but unfortunately he didn't have much strength.

They had no choice but to give up, but everyone could feel that Yinzhen was very happy.

Yixiu sat on a small stool in front of the bed, looked at Yinzhen and said: In fact, you could still live for a few more years. I have given you many chances, but unfortunately you didn't cherish them every time.

No matter what, no one can slander my son. Not to mention that he is not mediocre. Even if he is mediocre, that is only what I say and not the topic of gossip for others.

Yinzhen, you are incompetent. Not only do you have no ability, you are also very arrogant.
