Quick Wear: Beautiful, Strong, Miserable, Whitening Guide

After returning to Changle Palace, Liu paced back and forth in the hall, her eyes flickering.

(My brother must be informed as soon as possible.)

(The Liu family needs to make plans early! Either they find a famous doctor to secretly treat the emperor. If they can control the recovery process, they might be able to keep the emperor in their hands. Or... they need to consider a more radical solution, such as... establishing a new emperor?)

The thought frightened her, but the huge temptation of power and the sense of crisis made it impossible for her to stop thinking about it.

This son, who was once the pinnacle of her ambition, has now become a hot potato, perhaps even a burden.

(We must squeeze out the surplus value as quickly as possible while it is still useful.)

"quick!"

She spoke sternly to her trusted palace maid.

"Send a message to the King's uncle immediately, and tell him to find a way to secretly enter the palace no matter what!"

In less than an hour, Liu Chen, the emperor's uncle and Empress Dowager Liu's brother, was led to the inner chamber of Changle Palace through a secret palace passage.

"What is so urgent? But on His Majesty's side..." Liu Chen's heart sank when he saw the Queen Mother's expression.

"His Majesty?"

Empress Dowager Liu practically sneered through gritted teeth. After dismissing all the palace servants, she lowered her voice, her tone quick and sharp, "Our Majesty has now become a fool who doesn't even recognize his own mother and can only cry and dodge!"

"what?!"

Liu Chen was horrified, almost unable to believe his ears. "This... How is this possible? He fell into the water a few days ago, and it was so serious?"

"Fall into the water? I don't think so!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Empress Dowager Liu's eyes.

"It's most likely the work of that traitor Lin Ci'an! He deliberately concealed the emperor's illness and imprisoned him in the palace, all in order to completely control him like a puppet! Now that the emperor has completely lost his mind, it's a disaster for our Liu family!"

Liu Chen's expression also turned extremely ugly. Their Liu family has been so prosperous in recent years, largely due to the presence of the Empress Dowager in the palace and the fact that the Emperor has half Liu blood.

If the emperor really became a disabled person, or even completely controlled by Lin Ci'an, the power of the Liu family would be greatly affected, and they might even be liquidated.

"We must find a way!"

Liu Chen paced back and forth, his eyes gloomy. "Can we find a famous doctor? Perhaps there's a chance of a cure?"

"I sent people to investigate, and a steady supply of precious medicinal herbs were delivered to the warming chamber, obviously for His Majesty's use, but there has been no improvement in recent times."

The brother and sister fell into a brief silence, and the air was filled with despair and anxiety.

Suddenly, an extremely dangerous glint flashed in Empress Dowager Liu's eyes. She grabbed Liu Chen's sleeve fiercely and spoke in a low voice, but with a desperate madness: "Brother! Since this emperor is already deposed and cannot be revived... then why should we waste time on him?"

Liu Chen looked at her suddenly, his heart pounding: "You mean..."

"Your Majesty is 'seriously ill and incurable'. The country cannot be without a ruler for a single day..."

"Don't forget, the late emperor had more than one son! There are princes' sons in the royal family who are still young and whose mothers' families are not prominent..."

Liu Chen took a breath of cold air: "You want to... establish a new king?!" This is a heinous crime!

"What else? Wait until Lin Ci'an completely takes control of the court and uproots our Liu family?"

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes were vicious. "This is our only chance! Find a child who is easy to control and put him in power. As the Empress Dowager, I can naturally rule the country from behind the scenes. Brother, you can take this opportunity to take a step forward and take over the power! Then, what use will Lin Ci'an have to do?"

The plan was bold and crazy, but as tempting as poison.

Liu Chen's heart began to beat violently, and the desire for power quickly overwhelmed his fear.

He pondered for a moment and whispered, "Among the royal family, Prince An's young grandson is only six years old. His mother died young, and Prince An's family has no foundation in the court. He is indeed the best candidate...

However, this matter must be kept extremely confidential, and must be handled as soon as possible! We must establish a fait accompli before Lin Ci'an realizes our intentions!

"That's right!"

"We need to take a two-pronged approach! Publicly, my brother, you should contact officials from our faction within the court, using the excuse of concern for His Majesty's health.

Put pressure on Lin Ci'an, demanding a visit or even finding another good doctor, to confuse his vision and make him think that we are just trying to compete for the current emperor."
