Eunuch Li glanced at him carefully, knowing that he was about to make a decision, and quickly ordered the Imperial Guards to bring the person over.

The deposed Crown Prince and Prince Rui were brought before the Emperor.

The deposed crown prince took the initiative and fell to the ground crying: "Father, I know I was wrong. I was confused and bewitched before, so I did such a treasonous thing. I deserve to die. Father, you can kill me or chop me up, and I have no complaints."

When Prince Rui heard that the Queen had killed all the princes to protect him and then was cut into pieces by the Emperor, he fell ill and never recovered.

He hasn't had a drop of water in the past few days and has become even thinner.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Father, I know my crime and I deserve death."

The emperor looked at them admitting their mistakes and felt extremely annoyed, and burst into coughing.

He has harmed himself to this point and now he is showing false compassion.

But with only two bloodlines left, he has no choice now.

"Okay, take the person down."

After driving the two men away, the emperor stared blankly at the ceiling of the bed with his eyes open.

Once you get addicted to the Shenxian Powder, you can't quit. His current body can't stand the torture. These days, he has to directly smoke the Shenxian Powder to numb the pain.

Eunuch Li looked at his increasingly thin body, his eyes full of worry.

It was the same for him. Once he was infected with this thing, it was impossible to stop. His body was getting worse day by day.

"These past few days, I have often thought of the day when you met the late queen. In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed."

His sigh made the emperor's eyes move.

He met Wan'er at the Big Buddha Temple. That day, under the plum tree, she was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven.

After that, they got to know each other, fell in love, and became husband and wife, living a sweet life.

Although he was just an unpopular and invisible prince at that time, Wan'er did not despise him. Instead, she encouraged him every day and shared the beautiful future with her.

She shouldn't have died early, but she blocked a sword to save him, which left a root of illness in her body.

That's it.

"You can ask Liang Wenchang to come over tomorrow."

"Whoo."

When Eunuch Li sent someone to deliver a message to Liang's residence, Bai Youyou was drinking Bing Su Lao with Qin Ran in Liang's residence.

Qin Ran was three months pregnant, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

"If the baby is born, please send someone to tell me the good news so that I can also share in the joy."

"it is good."

Qin Ran smiled gently.

Although life was not as prosperous as before, Liang Wenchang treated her really well.

Needless to say, seeing her rosy complexion and bright smile, Bai Youyou knew that she was living a comfortable life.

"If you get bored in the future, go find Qianqian. She's waiting to get married at home and is feeling very depressed right now."

"I am also planning to go there in the next two days."

The fetus seemed unstable in the first three months, so she stayed at home to take care of the baby and never left the house. She was just about to go to Qianqian's house to add makeup.

The two talked about the past and giggled from time to time.

Liang Wenchang sent the eunuchs away from the palace, and when he came back, he saw Qin Ran smiling like a flower.

He walked over, sat on the chair next to her, took out a lychee and peeled it for her, "Do you want to eat anything else?"

"I want to eat plum blossom cakes from the streets of West City tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow."

Liang Wenchang looked at her lovingly, then turned to Bai Youyou, his eyes full of gratitude.

If she hadn't pulled him out of the quagmire, he would never have been where he is today in his life.

"Miss Bai, if you have something to say, just tell me. As long as I, Liang Wenchang, can do it."

He is not stupid. The imperial court is in turmoil right now, and Bai Youyou would not come to his house for no reason at this critical juncture.

Liang Wenchang is still living in the former residence of Master Qin. There is no one around, so Bai Youyou did not hide it.

"I came to your house today because I really need your help."

Qin Ran ate the lychees he had peeled and said considerately, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the study and talk."

"No need. The study room might have ears behind the walls. This place is empty and it's actually safer than the study room."

Bai Youyou rejected her kindness. With Lu Qi and the others guarding around, she was not afraid of being overheard by others.

Just in case, Bai Youyou leaned over and whispered in his ear the purpose of her trip.

Liang Wenchang's eyes widened in shock, but then he calmed down.

This is how the emperor seized the throne.

"The emperor just sent someone to tell me to go to the palace tomorrow. Could it be for this matter?"

Bai Youyou laughed, "It seems like I came at the right time today."

The emperor doesn't trust anyone now, but he trusts Liang Wenchang very much.

It may be because he was recommended by Liyang, or it may be because he was born a commoner and had no background in the court.

Bai Youyou has done him a favor, but Liang Wenchang didn't dare to agree to such a thing rashly.

In the past, he was alone except for his younger brother, so he didn't care about life or death, but now...

His eyes fell on Qin Ran's belly, which had not yet bulged, and he was a little confused about what to do.

If this matter were to be exposed, she and the baby in her belly would die together.

Qin Ran suppressed the smile on her face and looked at him solemnly, "Wenchang, avenge my grandfather for me."

Tutor Qin was forced to death by the Crown Prince because she didn't want the Crown Prince to sit in that position.

Liang Wenchang suddenly raised his lips and smiled, his eyes full of determination, "Okay."

Princess Liyang had done him a favor, but he was not seeking revenge against the emperor, so he did not feel burdened by this.

"Don't worry, if anything happens, I will protect you even if I die."

Bai Youyou placed a thumb-sized white jade bottle in front of him and said, "Drop this into the ink when you grind it. Write as the emperor tells you to, and we will take care of the rest."

Liang Wenchang took it and nodded.

In this case, there is no way to trace him back.

Early the next morning, Liang Wenchang went to the emperor's bedroom.

During these days, he was the one who read out the contents of memorials to the emperor for official business. The emperor made the decisions and he wrote and read them on his behalf.

The emperor really trusted him, but Liang Wenchang did not feel happy at all.

The emperor was so foolish and incompetent. No wonder the Great Zhou Dynasty became worse year by year and the people were suffering.

When reading the books of sages, one should speak up for the people.

When Eunuch Li saw him, he hurriedly reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Lord Liang is here."

The emperor's condition this time was much more serious than last time. He couldn't even sit up. He just looked at Liang Wenchang beside him.

"My dear Liang."

"emperor."

Eunuch Li received the emperor's signal and asked everyone in the bedroom to leave.

He took out an imperial edict and placed it on the desk, then said to Liang Wenchang, "Sir Liang, the emperor has something to tell you, please write it for him."

The emperor died and couldn't even lift a pen, so it was naturally impossible for him to write the edict of succession himself.

"Help me sit up."

There were only three people in the bedroom now. When Eunuch Li went to support the emperor, Liang Wenchang quietly took out a white porcelain bottle and poured the liquid inside into it.

He ground the ink, and Eunuch Li also prepared the emperor.

The emperor read a sentence, Eunuch Li repeated it, and Liang Wenchang wrote it.

"Sir Liang, this is the imperial decree to appoint a crown prince. You must not disclose it to anyone."

"I don't dare."

Liang Wenchang brought the written imperial edict to the emperor. After the emperor confirmed it word by word, he said "hmm".

Eunuch Li took out the jade seal from the secret compartment, dipped it in Indonesian, and then stamped it on the imperial edict.
