Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

The emperor who was obsessed with alchemy became increasingly foolish. After taking those round pills mixed with cinnabar and heavy metals, he could temporarily become vigorous and energetic, but that was all due to overdrawing his body in advance. The stronger the drug, the more obvious the side effects would be.

It’s not that there are no elixirs without side effects, but they are not yet available in this world.

On this day, the emperor was refining elixirs in the alchemy room again, with a few old Taoists beside him. There was a bang from the golden dragon-patterned elixirs furnace, and wisps of white smoke rose into the sky.

The emperor showed a look of delight, and the old Taoist priest beside him stepped forward to congratulate him, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are one step closer to immortality."

The old Taoist priest opened the alchemy furnace, and several black pills were steaming. The Taoist priest picked up a pill and presented it respectfully.

The emperor put the pill into his mouth. A smell of rust spread in his mouth. It was not delicious, but thinking that he could live forever, he swallowed it anyway.

After eating this, he felt that he had unstoppable strength all over his body. The young concubines in the harem even praised him for his extraordinary bravery and said that they could not bear it.

"Your Majesty, the prince requests an audience." The eunuch stepped forward and delivered the message.

"Oh? Zhier is here, let him in." The emperor had just taken the elixir and felt refreshed. Even the prince, whom he usually didn't like, was in a rare good mood.

"Father." When the prince came in and saw the elixir in the furnace, he frowned slightly.

"Zhi'er, here's a freshly-made pill. I'll give you one as a reward." The emperor gave a look, and someone immediately handed the pill to the prince.

"Father, these pills are not made of good stuff. These Taoists are just charlatans." The prince said excitedly, his chest heaving.

He still has a father-son relationship with his father. Although the emperor has grown older and more suspicious and suppresses him, the prince can always remember how wise and powerful his father was when he was a child.

He once wanted to govern the country well, but later on, he gradually became addicted to pleasure, feared loyal ministers, and was suspicious of virtuous people.

"How dare you! Who allowed you to slander my master!" The emperor was furious. He took the lid of the alchemy furnace and smashed it towards the prince, hitting him right on the chest.

"Cough, cough, cough." The prince covered his chest and a bloody taste came out of his mouth.

"The Crown Prince has committed a crime against his superiors and shall be punished by confinement to reflect on his mistakes." The emperor spoke coldly, without any regard for the relationship between father and son.

Even the crown prince was injured by the emperor, and no one dared to remonstrate with him anymore.

I heard that after the prince returned to the East Palace, his already frail health became even worse after this incident. He lay in bed all day, unable to hide his fatigue.

That night, while the guards of the East Palace were on patrol, a petite figure quietly sneaked into the prince's room. She first stuffed a bamboo stick into the hole in the window and burned incense inside.

After a while, she opened the door and said softly, "Your Highness..."

The person on the bed didn't react at all. After probing a few more times, I was sure that the person on the bed really didn't react.

The Crown Prince's Concubine took out a dagger and stabbed the bulge more than ten times. She pulled out the dagger and threw it under the bed.

The task was completed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to leave, the candles in the room suddenly lit up, and several guards with torches rushed in from outside.

The leading prince looked at her coldly, not at all like his usual weak appearance.

Lin Liangdi's heart sank. She lifted up the quilt and took a look. There was no prince there, just a few quilts.

She fell to the ground, shaking.

On the second day, news came from the East Palace that the prince had been attacked by thieves the night before and his life or death was in danger. He was probably going to die.

The emperor was not too shaken when he heard this. He had taken elixirs and learned the art of immortality. The prince was nothing to him. He would have plenty of children in the future. What's more, he could still live for a long time. So let the prince die.

Recently, he has to take more than a dozen pills a day, and the furnace in the alchemy room is ringing non-stop every day.

Old Prince Chen was very satisfied with this. He thought that if the emperor continued to take the medicine, he would soon go to heaven to see the retired emperor.

The prince was once again in danger of death because of someone he sent to take action. As for his son who was depressed in the palace all day, Old Prince Chen didn't want to take care of him.

In the imperial garden, the young concubine was catching butterflies and smiling among the flowers, which made the old emperor's blood boil. He had been feeling increasingly powerless recently, and it seemed that he had to take more pills.

When he came to the dragon bed, the young concubine was looking at him with her watery eyes, which made the emperor feel very hot. He took out the pills, stuffed a few of them into his mouth, and immediately felt dozens of years younger.

While riding on the concubine, the emperor's body stiffened, his breathing stopped, and he fell beside the concubine. The young concubine screamed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

The news of the emperor's sudden death quickly spread throughout the court and the country. For a moment, everyone's faces were all colored and looked very ugly.

No one expected that an emperor would die in this way.

The prince's life or death was unknown, and for a while, the government and the country were in turmoil.

At this time, the deceased Prince Chen came back, looking like he wanted to take charge of the government. In terms of seniority, he had the greatest experience, and in terms of royal connections, he was the most suitable person to inherit the position. The aristocratic families remained silent and had no intention of objecting. Now the prince was dying, and he would probably pass away in a few days.

Therefore, the court had already tacitly accepted that Prince Chen would be the next emperor. On the day when he was about to wear the dragon robe, the prince, who had been lying in bed for a long time, arrived and seemed to have recovered very well.

Old Prince Chen had a gloomy face. Why did the prince look healthier than him? Wasn’t it said that he was going to die?

The prince smiled at him cheerfully, "Thank you, uncle, for helping me manage state affairs these days."

Old Prince Chen had a gloomy face. He had worked so hard to stabilize the situation in the court and was only one step away from that position. How could he be willing to give it up to the prince?

He winked at the person next to him, but the person remained motionless. Old Prince Chen looked at his confidants in astonishment, only to find that they were all standing behind the prince.

His situation is already hopeless, if he continues to struggle, he might not even be able to maintain his dignity.

In response, Old Prince Chen gritted his teeth, knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor."

The situation in the court changed instantly, and some smart people also knelt down and called out.

Yin family.

Xiao Lingruo also heard what happened this morning. She glanced at the man beside her and said, "You are really a black-hearted person."

I'm afraid he was behind the crown prince's ascension to the throne.

Poor old Prince Chen, after all his planning, ended up making things difficult for others.

Yin Ji said, "I just promised to support him, but I didn't say I would definitely help him get promoted."

In fact, he also bet on both the Crown Prince and Old Prince Chen, but in the end the Crown Prince was the better choice.
