The bad ending of the book rushes to catch up with the plot, and the crazy criticism of awakening ta

The death of Emperor Jing'an dealt a heavy blow to the court officials.

The crown prince was deposed, the life and death of the Princess of Jinlin Kingdom was unknown, and Emperor Jing'an also died at this time.

But the country cannot be without a king for a day, and those who have had ideas for a long time can no longer hold back and whispered, "Now, we should hold a national mourning first, but we also have to discuss the selection of a new emperor. Eunuch Fu Hai, did His Majesty have the intention to appoint a crown prince when he was alive?"

Eunuch Fu Hai was very sad. When he heard the adults' question, he wiped the tears from his face and answered with a sob, "Your Majesty, it's not too late yet."

As soon as the people present heard it, they knew that there was no intention to appoint a crown prince.

"Your Majesty has few children. The eldest prince was deposed, and now there are only the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince. I heard that the fourth prince is still in Qinghe City. So many days have passed, and the fourth prince has not returned yet."

"The Fourth Prince has not returned yet. According to the rule of establishing the eldest son as the heir, it should be the Third Prince in Kyoto. The Third Prince has good conduct and is a good candidate to become the new emperor."

"I also think that the Third Prince should become the new emperor, Prime Minister Song..."

Prime Minister Song was speechless. Facing the sudden death of Emperor Jing'an, he found it hard to accept. However, he had to focus on the overall situation and could not show his sadness even if he felt sad.

The saying that a country cannot be without a ruler for a day makes sense, but establishing a new emperor is not something they can decide casually.

The future direction of Yunli Kingdom depends on the character and virtue of the monarch. Although the third prince was born to his sister and is extremely eccentric on weekdays, he has not done anything wrong.

But he knew very well that the Third Prince was not a good emperor. He was spoiled by Concubine Shu and Emperor Jing'an since birth. He was somewhat smart, but his arrogance overshadowed him. Being close to him was just for profit.

If he was not the prime minister, the third prince would have ignored him.

"Why don't you say anything, Prime Minister Song? We all know that the current Imperial Concubine Shu is your sister, but now it has come to this. We should focus on state affairs. We all believe that you, Prime Minister, will treat it fairly."

"Yes, Prime Minister Song, what should we do now? Which prince should we choose to succeed the throne?"

Prime Minister Song sneered in his heart. These people spoke nicely, but they were actually still afraid.

Judging from the current situation, the third prince is more likely to succeed to the throne, so these people want to let him name the candidate and push him to the front.

If the new emperor is the third prince, their choice is not wrong.

If the new emperor was not the third prince, their choice would still be correct. All the mistakes were on him. They all followed his decision.

Prime Minister Song, who was attracting much attention, spoke slowly, "This matter cannot be rushed. No one outside the palace knows that His Majesty is seriously ill. Now everyone has considered the candidate for the new emperor. You must not decide the new emperor based on one person's opinion. His Majesty's death is a pain for you and the whole world, but the matter of Jinlin Kingdom has not been resolved. If we announce His Majesty's death now, Yunli Kingdom may have a big event."

"The Prime Minister means that the death should not be announced?"

"Yes, keep the death a secret. When the Fourth Prince returns to the capital and settles down, you can discuss the selection of the new emperor together and let the Queen Mother decide."

When a few court officials heard that they had to wait until the Fourth Prince returned before making a decision, they immediately frowned, as if they did not like this decision, but they did not know what to say.

At the moment, Prime Minister Song’s proposal is the best outcome.

They reached a consensus in the main hall, and Concubine Shu also received messages from other palace servants, asking the concubines to go to Emperor Jing'an's bedroom.

When Concubine Shu arrived, she was already crying like a tearful person. Her eyes were full of pain, her face was extremely pale, and every step she took was soft and weak as if she was stepping on cotton.

Her pink lips moved as if she had endless words to say but didn't know where to start.

Finally it turned into a silent wail.

"Your Majesty, why did you leave me? Why!"

Unfortunately, the room was full of smart people, and everyone could tell that she was acting. However, because the Queen Mother was there, they couldn't bear to be outdone and burst into tears, each one more dramatic than the other.

Among the women in the room, only the empress dowager's sadness was real. She got a headache when she saw Emperor Jing'an's concubines, all of whom were troublesome.

Especially Concubine Shu.

The Queen Mother sat back, feeling a severe headache, which was exacerbated by their quarrel. She said with a scolding tone, "Alright! His Majesty knows your feelings, and you don't have to be sad. Everything will be fine. Concubine Shu and Concubine De stay, and the rest of you can go back."

There are some things that the other concubines are not convenient to stay here to listen to.

After the others left, the Queen Mother looked around at the two people with tears in their eyes, sighed, and slowly said, "Do you know why I left you here?"

They knew something in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say they knew, and they said in unison: "I don't know."

The empress dowager withdrew her gaze and looked at Emperor Jing'an who had tidied his face on the bed. She was overwhelmed with sorrow and her voice became much softer.

"Your Majesty is gone, but Yunli Kingdom cannot be without an emperor. Yan'er has not returned yet, I'm afraid something has happened. Now only the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are in the palace. What do you think? Just tell me."

After hearing this, Concubine Shu's expression was okay, but Concubine De was a little frightened.

She just wanted to live a stable life. Her Wei'er had suffered a lot because of her low status. She had never thought about the throne before, and it was the same now.

She had never heard that Qi Binwei wanted the throne, and she didn't understand what the Queen Mother meant by asking this.

Since Concubine Shu hadn't spoken yet, she didn't want to interrupt and waited quietly for Concubine Shu to answer first.

Concubine Shu, who had been happy all the time, calmed down her mood. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Concubine De secretly glancing at her, and she looked down on her.

Born in a poor family, you just can't handle anything.

She is self-aware and knows that the current situation has been determined. The Yunli Kingdom belongs to Rui'er, so she is sensible not to argue.

I guess my brother has started working hard for Rui'er in the court. Is there any meaning in the old Queen Mother asking this?

Concubine Shu looked up at the Queen Mother with a pitiful look in her eyes, and said in a hoarse and weak voice: "Mother, I am a woman in the harem and cannot interfere in politics. Besides, how can you believe what a woman says? The words and deeds of the princes are also witnessed by the ministers in front of the court. They will definitely choose the right candidates in a fair manner."

The Queen Mother ignored her and turned her attention to Concubine De and asked, "What about you?"

Concubine De did not want to get involved in this mess, so she echoed Concubine Shu's words and said, "Just like Concubine Shu, we should obey the ministers in everything. The person they choose must be the most suitable to be the monarch of Yunli Kingdom."

"Yes, if you want me to tell you..."

"Okay, you guys go back and rest. I want to accompany His Majesty."

Concubine Shu wanted to add a few words, but the Empress Dowager saw through it and didn't want to listen anymore, so she interrupted her.

"Yes."

Although Concubine Shu was unwilling, she did not say anything more, and the two left.

The empress dowager looked at Emperor Jing'an and reached out to touch his face. She felt cold everywhere. She sighed and two lines of tears slowly fell.
