Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

Chapter 266: The Emperor is Critically Ill, the Kings Come to Jiankang

After confirming that his beloved son would not wake up, the emperor eventually fell ill. During this period, he ordered the princes in various fiefdoms far away to return to Jiankang, saying that they were serving his illness.

After learning about the emperor's move, Luo Qin discussed it with Xie Yun.

In the evening, at Xie's house, Lily Garden.

Luo Qin helped Xie Yun take off his outer robe and casually put it on the pole rack. He asked, "Bo'an, what is the emperor's intention in doing this?"

Xie Yun took off his official robes, put on a comfortable blue gown, and changed his boots into clogs. After tidying himself up, he raised his hand to dismiss all the servants, took Luo Qin's hand and sat on the couch together, then said to her: "The emperor wants to depose the prince."

The reason why he called back the other princes was to give them a chance.

Luo Qin was not surprised after hearing this, "Isn't this easy?"

The eldest son of the Jin Dynasty is the heir. As long as the crown prince is not dead, no one has hope and the ministers will not agree.

However, Xie Yun said: "The prince should be deposed."

Luo Qin was shocked, "What do you mean?"

Xie Yun picked up the ceramic teapot in front of him and poured two cups of tea into the lotus-colored glaze teacup, one for Luo Qin and one for himself. He looked at his wife and said, "The emperor's health has suddenly deteriorated. The Crown Prince and the deposed Queen are responsible."

Under Luo Qin's surprised gaze, Xie Yun continued slowly: "In fact, the deposed queen knew long ago that the emperor might deal with the Yu family, so she kept a trick. The deposed queen has been giving the emperor a chronic poison, which has been eroding his body bit by bit. By the time it was discovered, the poison had already penetrated into his bones. It was too late. The emperor doesn't have much time left.

He actually wanted to leave the throne to the second prince, but the second prince also died. If he passed the throne to the crown prince, he would not be willing. So he called all his sons back to Jiankang to take care of him, in order to observe who was more suitable to succeed him. "

Luo Qin sighed, the palace was indeed not a place for ordinary people to stay, she wouldn't survive more than three episodes if she went there.

"What about the prince?" Luo Qin asked again.

"The Crown Prince knew about the Emperor's poisoning, but concealed it and did not report it. This is truly unfilial. The Jin dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and the Crown Prince made a grave mistake in this regard alone.

Moreover, the prince indulged his subordinates in their evil deeds in the past, which harmed many people. He himself is arrogant, conceited, and self-willed, so he is indeed not suitable to be a monarch."

"Then..." Luo Qin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Boan, who do you think is more suitable?"

Xie Yun paused while holding the teacup, thought for a moment, and lowered his voice and said, "Become the King."

"Becoming a king?"

"Prince Cheng is the third son of the emperor. He is now married to a concubine in Xuzhou. His biological mother is Lady Huan, the daughter of the Huan family of Qiao State. The Huan family is still very powerful. Moreover, he is only one year younger than the second prince. He is friendly and kind. If he ascends to the throne, he may be a benevolent monarch."

After the Yu family fell, the strongest Wang and Xie families did not take the initiative to participate in these struggles. Among other aristocratic families, the Huan and Cui families were equally powerful and ranked behind the Wang and Xie families.

And he himself has a good reputation and is an adult, so he is not afraid of the monopoly of power by his in-laws.

In this case, if King Cheng wants to fight for it, he still has a good chance of success.

Luo Qin fell into her own deep thoughts. After a long while, she suddenly asked: "Boan, have you contacted King Cheng a long time ago?"

Xie Yun: "..."

No, how come his Qingqing is so smart and always guesses right.

Seeing that Langjun was hesitant to answer, Luo Qin looked at him dimly and asked again: "Yes or no?"

"Hey," Xie Yun was defeated by his lover's gaze, he sighed and smiled, raised his hand to embrace him, "Yes."

Luo Qin guessed correctly.

In fact, after that "he" told him about the future direction, he had already contacted King Cheng, and King Cheng also agreed to it.

The two of them had been making many moves in secret, and now that the emperor had issued an edict, King Cheng could just come to Jiankang openly.

In Xie Yun's mind, neither the Crown Prince nor Jin Zhao were suitable to be the emperor. King Cheng was better, and King Cheng was not so averse to aristocratic families.

Then Luo Qin continued to talk to himself: "After the Crown Prince knows the emperor's intention, will he raise an army to force the emperor to abdicate?"

Xie Yun: "..."

No, how come Qingqing guessed every one of them right?

If it were any other period, Luo Qin might not ask, but here it is similar to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, where reputation is extremely important and filial piety is advocated.

If the prince forces the emperor to abdicate, he would be a blatantly unfilial son. Not only would he be reviled by the people of the world at present, but his name would also be written into history books, leaving him infamous for eternity.

I don't know if he would be willing to do that.

Luo Qin raised her hand and hooked it around her husband's neck, sat on his lap, and shook the man's neck, "Boan, are you sure the prince would do this?"

If the prince really dared to abdicate, he would probably not be able to remain emperor for long, as he would be overthrown by his brothers and the aristocratic families.

Xie Yun silently held the delicate girl's soft waist in his arms and kissed her cheek, "Ping'er, what do you think?"

Luo Qin smiled sweetly, "I think so."

Jin Si has been the crown prince for so long. Since he was born, everyone has told him that the position belongs to him. Now he is going to be deposed. Is he willing?

Of course I’m not willing to give in!

Forcing the emperor to abdicate is inevitable, but it is hard to say whether it will succeed. The emperor is probably on guard against him now.
