Marrying the dandy prince, the princess wants to usurp the throne

Before going to Southern Xinjiang, Mu Jiusheng returned to Chong'an Country once. At least she had to settle everything in Chong'an Country before she could go there with peace of mind. In addition, she also wanted to confirm some things she had seen on Mu Yuchuan before.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Mu Jiusheng pays his respects to Mu Yuchuan.

Mu Yuchuan nodded, "Get up."

"I have heard about the affairs of Xingye State.

Then just do as you say."

After all, the affairs of Southern Xinjiang also concern the country and the people, and Mu Yuchuan cannot help but take it to heart.

Mu Jiusheng nodded, "I obey your order."

She glanced at Mu Yuchuan. Compared to before she left, the black on Mu Yuchuan's forehead was more serious. It seemed that the poison had penetrated deep into his lungs and there was no cure. Of course, if she took action, it would not be a problem to maintain his life for another ten or twenty years, but she didn't want to.

Everything that Mu Yuchuan did to his mother and her was disgusting enough.

She has never been a good person, and she will never repay evil with kindness.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Father, have you been in good health recently? I just noticed a dark spot between your eyebrows. I don't think it's a good sign. Father, why don't you ask the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to examine you. Perhaps you have strained your muscles due to the recent overwork."

Mu Yuchuan frowned. As an emperor, he naturally didn't want to hear such words. But he had to keep Mu Jiusheng's words in mind.

"Don't worry, I'm doing very well recently. Your Royal Concubine brings me supplements every day. After eating them, I feel refreshed and my body is much better than before."

"Then I, Lord Xu, was wrong. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. However, Your Majesty, I heard from the imperial physician that drugs cannot be taken frequently. Your Majesty, after taking them for a while, if you feel better, you should stop taking them for a while before taking them again, so as not to overdo it. It will also damage the dragon body."

Mu Jiusheng was always thinking about Mu Yuchuan.

Mu Yuchuan nodded, "Okay, don't worry, I understand."

After Mu Jiusheng left, Mu Yuchuan felt something was wrong.

Finally, he couldn't resist his curiosity and called the imperial physician over.

"Doctor Li, please take a look at me. I feel better now."

It had been a while since he had asked the imperial physician to check his pulse. After all, he felt much better after taking the imperial concubine's tonic. He thought that since he was better, he didn't need to bother the imperial physician. He also didn't like to see the imperial physicians looking sad, which made him upset.

But this time, Mu Yuchuan invited him out of caution.

The doctor nodded, then walked over to Mu Yuchuan to feel his pulse. Unexpectedly, after feeling his pulse for a while, the doctor shuddered and asked, "Your Majesty, what have you eaten recently?"

"What's wrong? I haven't eaten anything recently. I just took some tonic medicine sent by the imperial concubine. Other than that, there is no difference from what I eat on weekdays."

"Tonic? May I take a look at that tonic?"

After hearing what the imperial physician said, Mu Yuchuan became alert.

"Is there something wrong with that tonic?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen the specifics of the tonic yet, so I can't make a judgment. But from what I just felt for your pulse, your Majesty has been poisoned for more than a few months, and now the poison has invaded your lungs. My medical skills are limited, and I don't have a solution for the time being."

Instantly, the brush in Mu Yuchuan's hand fell to the ground, "What did you say? Poisoned?!"

All his food was tested with silver needles, so how could he be poisoned? Even the tonic was tested with silver needles to make sure it was harmless before taking it.

"Someone, bring me the tonic that the imperial concubine sent!"

Mu Yuchuan took a long time to calm down before he spoke reluctantly.

After a long while, the imperial physician spoke up, "Your Majesty, according to my judgment, there is indeed nothing wrong with this tonic, but the problem is that this tonic conflicts with the medicine that Your Majesty usually takes. The conflict between the two produces a toxin, which has been circulating in the body for several months and has become highly toxic."

The imperial physician's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mu Yuchuan's heart heavily.

He never thought that despite all his precautions, he still couldn't protect the person next to him. He had always been on guard against Shi Jin and Mu Jiusheng, but he never thought that the most vicious person was Shangguan Yu!

It's ridiculous. Just last month, Shangguan Yu was still whispering in his ear that he wanted him to write an edict to allow the crown prince to succeed to the throne.

Now think about it, how ridiculous!!!

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"How long will it take?"

"Your Majesty, three months."

After three months, he will surely die.

Even if I stop taking the tonic now, it will only last for three months at most.

Mu Yuchuan looked at the ceiling for a long time, and finally laughed and cried.

"I thought I had lived a very successful life, but I never expected that none of the people around me were sincere to me!!!"

"Your Majesty, please don't say that. I think the Shangguan family has long been ambitious, so they are like this. But what they don't know is that Your Majesty has always been truly fond of the Imperial Concubine. You also sincerely want the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne."

Just last month, Mu Yuchuan secretly wrote the will, and the person who would inherit the throne was Mu Qilin.

But now, it's just a huge joke!

Mu Yuchuan asked the chief eunuch to bring him the edict of succession.

He looked at the words on the edict and tore it into pieces.

"Three months, there are still three months left. Who do you think will take over the kingdom after these three months?"

With the Shangguan family's ambition, even if he tears up the succession edict now, after he is gone, the Shangguan family will also take over. After all, the current crown prince is Mu Qilin.

"Why doesn't your majesty choose someone else?"

"Where did this person come from? You also know that my harem has few offspring. The only prince I can take out is Mu Qilin."

"What about Princess Jinghe? Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but Princess Jinghe's ability is no less than that of men. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot match Princess Jinghe's ability to govern a country. If Your Majesty really has no other choice, I think Princess Jinghe should be a very good candidate."

"A Sheng?" Yes, he still has A Sheng, the one who was treated as a pawn by him from the beginning but always stood on his side and considered him.

"Let me think about it."

……

"It's not easy for him to say this. After all, in his heart, I have always been just a chess piece."

Mu Jiusheng chuckled as he listened to the news delivered by the eunuch chief.

"So what is the princess going to do next?

Do you plan to inherit the throne?"

"Why not inherit it? The Shangguan family has already handed this thing to me, so I naturally have to keep it well. Besides, only those in high positions have the right to protect their own people."
