Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Hearing that the emperor would live past 80, the eunuchs felt relieved...

The phoenix eyes with fine lines revealed a hint of anger!

What congratulations? This is a heart-breaking return!

Sure enough, how could a person with such pride really accept what is given to him?

Seriguleng's mouth was bleeding, and he laughed even more happily! It seemed that the other party's aroused emotions were the nourishment for his pleasure!

But the nourishment obtained was short-lived... The emperor would not be swayed by emotions, and those slight angers would be instantly wiped out by indifference.

"Let Dr. Zhu take care of him personally these days and don't let this old Taoist priest die."

Seriguleng's smile calmed down and turned pale... The old man's clear eyes suddenly became dazed...

Surrounded by the cold Ruifeng Eyes...

The bizarre illusion continued the distant scene...

……

"King Kang has won a great victory over the Oirat! The northern tribes suffered heavy losses and retreated thousands of miles!"

"King Kang is mighty! If King Kang rules Daxia, I'm afraid that in the next few decades, the northern tribes will be terrified and dare not invade!"

The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue, all the officials of King Kang's faction were very excited!

In the huge Golden Throne Hall, all the civil and military officials had different expressions, all in the kind yet cold eyes.

The pair of phoenix eyes were wrinkled, with dark shadows under them, and looked a little tired...

The emperor knew that a new round of calls for a crown prince was coming, and this time it would be even more powerful than nine years ago.

Should Chu Shikun be made the crown prince?

Judging from the history books, Chu Shikun is considered to be an above-average talent. Judging from the perspective of the civil and military officials, his second victory over the northern tribes is an outstanding achievement that should not be underestimated...

Now that his biological mother, the queen, who could influence his thoughts, has passed away for many years, Chu Shikun has also learned his limits when it comes to his relatives and women...Except for those brothers who have ulterior motives, it is no problem for all civil and military officials to submit to and assist Chu Shikun.

Although it was still a little short of the emperor's expectations, among the possible successors...

After Chu Shiyu's death...

Chu Shikun is the best choice.

"Summon Kun'er back to the capital. The Ministry of Rites will immediately start planning the ceremony of conferring honors. The Ministry of War will speed up the evaluation of military merits. I will reward the three armies according to their merits."

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

The Minister of Personnel was so excited that he bowed down. How could ordinary rewards be used in a grand ceremony? The emperor was giving in on the issue of the crown prince!

"My dear ministers, if you have nothing else to do, please adjourn the court." His tone was cold and his expression was indifferent.

Even though his thin hands were pressing on his aching temples, the emperor still seemed calm and composed in the eyes of his ministers...

How could a strong emperor reveal his weakness?

Just standing up...

The endless darkness before my eyes cannot be suppressed by willpower!

All the officials who were waiting for the emperor to leave court saw it!

The corner of the majestic dragon robe collapsed with a loud bang!

The etiquette of not looking directly at the emperor was broken for a moment! The ministers looked up in horror! They suddenly realized that their emperor had already turned gray!

The emperor fell half an inch away from the dragon throne!

The eunuchs on both sides were unable to respond in time and finally stepped forward to help the emperor up. However, for some reason, they felt a little weak and were unable to help the emperor up for a while!

Boundless panic enveloped everyone!

The young prince on the right below, his unwilling expression just now disappeared! He suddenly became extremely anxious!

"Father!"

Chu Shiqi shouted and rushed directly to the platform! He angrily kicked the powerless eunuch away and eagerly hugged and lifted up his unconscious father!

The Eighth Prince turned around and shouted at the officials below: "What are you standing there for?! Get the imperial physician to come over here!"

Bright yellow curtains.

The wrinkled phoenix eyes opened, and what they saw was the same scene that they had seen every day for more than 20 years...

Boredom and tiredness seem to be a feeling...

"Your Majesty is awake!"

The eunuchs serving him were full of joy. No one wanted the emperor to be alive more than them, because their life and death depended on it.

Chu Tianming did not look at the hustle and bustle in the palace. After a brief confusion in his mind, he began to fulfill his mission as an emperor as usual...

His illness was unexpected, and at this moment, he vaguely felt that his end was near... Maybe it was an illusion, but it was not certain.

Everyone will die eventually, and Chu Tianming does not resist this inevitable outcome.

However, for Daxia, the life and death of the emperor is related to the rise and fall of the country.

But now, it's too hasty.

The lips that were moistened by water were still dry, and they trembled slightly when speaking, but no sound came out... They only raised their hands reluctantly and made a gesture...

Fortunately, the eunuchs who were used to being taciturn in daily life were able to understand the emperor's orders from his actions.

"Go and call Eunuch Xu." The eunuch relayed the order.

Xu Jin is the most important eunuch, mainly serving as the right-hand man, but he is also a personal eunuch, and his final life and death are no different from theirs, so there is usually no need to worry about him becoming disloyal...

After all, they were too close to the emperor and knew too much.

Hurrying footsteps walked into...

After the ceremony, Xu Jin led the imperial physician forward and asked softly, "Your Majesty, would you like to ask Dean Ma to take your pulse?"

Being weak at the moment, Chu Tianming would not waste his energy on such trivial matters. He closed his eyes slightly and indicated his consent.

"Your Majesty has been overworked and has become ill due to fatigue... Now that you have had enough sleep for a day, your pulse is much more stable than yesterday. Drink some nourishing medicine... and recuperate for a few more days, and you should be able to recover..."

Ma Yuanshi spoke in a low and humble tone, looking the same as usual, yet seemed a little more nervous.

Chu Tianming took all of this into his eyes. He knew that there was some falsehood in Ma Yuanshi’s words. As for how false it was and what was hidden, he didn’t want to concentrate on thinking about it... His chin slightly raised.

Xu Jin immediately understood that the emperor wanted to send the imperial physician away.

"Mr. Ma, please come in." Xu Jin stood there and made a gesture to see the guest off.

Ma Yuanshi also knew the situation and bowed and walked back, quietly leaving the bedroom...

People coming and going.

The huge bedroom was under the emperor's silent control.

He dismissed all the servants.

Three men, each with their own unique abilities but equally powerful, stood by the bed, guarding their weakened master.

He stretched out his thin hand with difficulty and handed the Minister of War a dragon-shaped jade plaque...

Chu Tianming finally stopped being stingy with words: "Give it to him after Kun'er comes to Beijing."

The three of them were shocked at the same time! The dragon token can suppress the tiger token! Holding the tiger token all the time can be seen as a disguised way of establishing a crown prince, and directly giving the dragon token means that power is changing hands!

"Your Majesty! You are just suffering from a minor illness. It is still too early to recover!"

The Minister of War held the dragon tablet in his hand to prevent it from falling, but did not pick it up.

The kingdom will be passed down sooner or later, but they still can't bear to leave the master they are loyal to. Even if the successor is the master's biological son, he is still a different person after all...

Warriors often value righteousness more than scholars, and the loyalty of these three people to him is certain.

But Chu Tianming had no intention of comforting them, and just continued to order: "Fang Kui...you go to the northeastern border...to guard against the Jurchens and Tatars taking advantage of the situation..."

The three of them understood the emperor's temper. Once a decision was made, it could not be changed. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only accept it with pain and move forward in the direction indicated by their master...

Fang Kui paused and asked softly, "Your Majesty, why don't you just issue an edict? With the title in hand and the support of our ministers, there will be no resistance to King Kang ascending the throne, and foreign enemies will have no chance to take advantage..."

The wrinkles around Ruifeng's eyes change as she closes her eyes, and some selfish desires become harder to suppress as she becomes sicker...

"Kun'er is just one breath away..."

The defeat was like a landslide, and the defeated will could no longer be as firm as before. The surging emotions temporarily overwhelmed the middle-aged man lying on the bed...

"If it's Yu'er..."
