Bai Youyou lifted the black hood on her head, revealing her originally bright face. Without saying a word, she handed the imperial edict to him.

"Help me change the prince's name to Prince Lu Huaizhen."

Liang Wenchang unfolded the imperial edict, frowning, "If there is any alteration, it will definitely be discovered."

The words on it are written right next to each other, and there is no room for change. If there is any erasure, the imperial edict will become a piece of waste paper.

Bai Youyou took out a black jade bottle from his sleeve and said, "You'll know in a minute."

Liang Wenchang was puzzled. He walked to the desk and spread the imperial edict flat on the table. But when Bai Youyou poured the potion in the black jade bottle on the prince's name, the place where the name was originally located suddenly became blank.

"Ouch!"

His eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Bai Youyou smiled and said, "This way, you can't tell."

There is indeed no trace of it.

Liang Wenchang came back to his senses and was about to pick up the pen when Bai Youyou stopped him and said, "Use this."

The emperor used a specially supplied ink stick. She placed the ink stick and inkstone on the table, and Liang Wenchang ground the ink again.

He really admired the fact that even such small details were thought of.

After the ink was ground, Liang Wenchang picked up the pen and wrote the name of the idle king Lu Huaizhen on the original blank space.

Bai Youyou read the contents of the imperial edict carefully, and only closed it after confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions.

"Thank you, Sir Liang."

“The world does not belong to one person, but to all people. When a tyrant ruler is in power, the country is in chaos and the people are living in misery. I read the books of sages so that the seas and rivers can be peaceful and the world can be at peace.”

Liang Wenchang spoke sternly and with a firm look in his eyes.

He did not know that other people entered the court to become officials for fame and benefit, but he studied and became an official because he wanted to establish his life for the people and seek welfare for the people.

Before he entered the court as an official, he did not know that the emperor was incompetent. After he started writing for the emperor, it really opened his eyes.

As the ruler of the world, he pursues his own selfish interests every day and does not care about the dangers facing the people of the world.

Such a selfish person is not worthy of being a king!

"Lord Liang has great ambitions. I believe that day will come."

Bai Youyou put away the imperial edict, said goodbye to him and returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

This thing had to be put back to its original place. Lu Xuan took the imperial edict, took a look at it, and then had someone put it back to its original secret compartment.

The emperor's health was getting worse day by day, and he was sometimes unable to speak these days.

Eunuch Li was very worried when he saw that the emperor was becoming increasingly weak.

The concubines in the harem originally wanted to come to the emperor's side to take care of him, but the emperor was afraid that someone would harm him, so he drove them all out and only kept him by his side.

Eunuch Li asked Doctor Pang in a low voice, "Doctor Pang, please tell me, how long can the emperor hold on?"

"It can be as long as a month or as short as three days."

Since there were no other masters in the palace, Doctor Pang did not shy away from it.

The other imperial doctors were shocked when they heard this. They just kept silent and did not care about the matter.

This is not something you can say casually. If you anger the emperor, you may lose your head!

"Ah ah ah..."

The emperor also heard what Doctor Pang said, but he was so slurred that he could only keep saying "ah ah" and could not utter even a single clear character.

Doctor Pang gave him an expressionless look, then turned to Eunuch Li and said, "Eunuch Li, you should summon the princes of the royal family to the palace to prepare for the national funeral."

"Is there really no cure?"

Eunuch Li still didn't give up and asked again.

“It’s hard to save a fairy.”

The others also echoed what Doctor Pang said, nodding their heads and saying, "Yes, your Majesty's internal organs are all damaged, and there is no way to save him."

The prince became more and more anxious in prison, and every day he hoped that the emperor would die so that he could ascend the throne.

"Someone is coming!"

The prince shouted loudly, and immediately a constable came running over with a fawning look on his face.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

The prince sat in front of a golden nanmu table and chair, holding a priceless silver needle in his hand. His eyes were slightly anxious, "Is there any news from the palace today?"

The captain bowed his body and said carefully: "Our master has not returned from the palace today."

"Why haven't you come back at this time today?"

The prince frowned.

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression suddenly became excited.

It’s almost there! That old man is going to die soon!

"I am the Lord of Destiny, God will bless me! Haha——"

Just when the prince was full of anticipation, the jailer suddenly came to report that someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion wanted to see him.

The prince was puzzled and alert. What were the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion doing here at this time?

Before he decided whether to meet her or not, he saw Bai Youyou slowly walking towards him with a dazzling smile on her face.

"What are you doing here?!"

The prince's eyes were cold, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The emperor has ordered the death of the third son, and now everyone in the court knows that he will be the next emperor. Bai Youyou must have bad intentions coming here at this time!

Seeing the defensiveness in his eyes, Bai Youyou's lips curved a little wider, "Your Highness, don't worry. I just came to tell you a piece of news. I'm afraid you won't be able to sit on the throne."

She heard all his arrogant words just now.

The man of destiny?

If she hadn't appeared, he would indeed be the man of destiny.

Unfortunately......

The prince stood up from his chair, his eyes widened, "Impossible!"

"What's impossible? Everything is possible!"

Bai Youyou took a step back, smiling playfully, "Your Majesty has appointed Prince Xian as the crown prince. This is the order issued by His Majesty himself."

The prince was struck by lightning, "How could my father pass the throne to that sickly Lu Huaizhen? This is absolutely impossible, you are lying to me!"

Everyone thought he was the future emperor. The cell was decorated as magnificently as a bedroom, and the door was not locked, so the prince rushed out directly.

Bai Youyou waved, and Lu San, Lu Qi and others stepped forward and grabbed him.

"Seeing is believing, hearing is not?" She chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm here to take you to see it for yourself."

The atmosphere in the palace was heavy.

The royal family members all gathered in front of the dragon bed, looking at the dying emperor, and everyone had his own little thoughts.

Prince Yan asked, "Did the emperor leave behind an imperial edict to pass on the throne?"

"Yes, Eunuch Li, did the emperor leave behind an imperial edict to pass on the throne?"

Although the emperor executed Prince Rui and left the deposed crown prince, as long as there is no edict of succession, then the kings, princes, generals and ministers will all be of different species!

Eunuch Li knew what these people were thinking. He turned his head to look at the emperor who was about to die, and took out a bright yellow imperial edict from a secret compartment beside him.

"The Emperor has issued an edict to pass on the throne, ordering the Queen Mother—"

He opened the imperial edict, but before he could read it, his throat seemed to be blocked by something and his voice stopped abruptly.

His eyes widened and his hand holding the imperial edict trembled constantly.

how come?

how come? !

It was clearly written that day that the throne would be passed to Crown Prince Lu Lingqian. He and the emperor saw it with their own eyes. How could it become Prince Lu Huaizhen?
