Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1135

The man said, "My last name is Jin Hai, and I used to be the steward of Prince Ling's mansion. Because I almost lost my life while working for my master, and my arm was disabled, His Highness Prince Ling threw me to work in the stables..."

Emperor Mingde closed his eyes and looked like he was dying.

As Jin Hai spoke, he looked up at the Empress Dowager. Seeing her nod, he continued, "Prince Consort Haiyan had been in touch with His Royal Highness Prince Ling more than a year ago. I have seen him several times with my own eyes. Although the Prince Consort was not dressed so gorgeously at that time and always came to see Prince Ling at night, I have always had a good eye and would never make a mistake."

Emperor Mingde said weakly, "I won't believe your empty words."

Jin Hai suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out the letters from his pocket, "Your Majesty, I have letters, correspondence between the two of them."

This is irrefutable evidence!

Emperor Mingde did not expect that Cen Yuan actually had correspondence with the fourth brother. Was she cultivating the fourth brother for a long time?

Emperor Mingde called Eunuch Qi in and said, "Read the letter!"

Eunuch Qi just wanted to say, Master, you are already poisoned like this, can you take a break? This Empress Dowager is really good at torturing people...

When he opened the letter, he found that it was actually correspondence between the Prince Consort and Prince Ling.

His eyelids twitched and his heart skipped a beat. He felt that this matter was a little too serious.

Fortunately, there was nothing out of the ordinary in the letter. It was basically advice from the Prince Consort to Prince Ling, such as the flood in Fenzhou and the snow disaster in Yucheng...

That’s right, Prince Ling also made a lot of efforts in the snow disaster in Yucheng this time. Emperor Mingde often praised him for this.

There have been disasters of all sizes over the past year... No wonder Prince Ling goes wherever there is a disaster and is away from the capital for most of the year.

Can this be called collusion? This is clearly cooperation.

Emperor Mingde suddenly realized that for more than a year, he had been sitting on the dragon throne without any worries. Except for the snow disaster in Yucheng that scared him, all other disasters, big and small, were resolved by Prince Ling, and some were not even reported to the court.

The Queen Mother felt more and more upset the more she listened, and glared at Jin Hai with hatred.

I asked you to find some handwritten letters between the two of them, and this is what you found?

At that time, when she heard Jin Hai swear that he could find the letters between Prince Ling and his wife, she was a little surprised.

It seems the surprise came a little early...

Emperor Mingde sighed softly, "Among these sons, only the fourth son can do something."

The Queen Mother: “…”

Is this the point? How did you come to this conclusion?

She hurriedly snatched the letter, but heard Emperor Mingde say, "Youen, put all the letters away."

I won’t have to pretend anymore, I’ll get up and watch it slowly!

Jin Hai was taken away and Eunuch Qi also went out.

The Queen Mother's sadness had not yet fully developed, so she closed her eyes tightly and repeated Shi Anrou's words in a different way, "After Emperor Rongguang died, the country was surrounded by enemies, and the northern wing was in danger. I... had no choice but to lead the army in person..."

She didn't have the confidence to say the words "the emperor personally led the army" with justification.

Emperor Mingde listened to her nonsense and suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were clear and cloudy. "The Empress Dowager said, if I can't cure this poison, who should succeed me?"

The Queen Mother said sadly, "As long as it's not Prince Ling, anyone will do. I'm just scared! Emperor, you don't know how miserable the people of the North Wing are. You don't know how it feels to watch the country being shattered... I don't want to see it again."

"I don't want to see the country broken into pieces." Emperor Mingde closed his eyes gently, as if he no longer had the strength to speak. "So after I die, Prince Ling will still succeed me. I have already drafted the imperial edict and will not change it."

"You!" The Empress Dowager was heartbroken. "Emperor, you still don't believe what I said?"

"I have eyes!" Emperor Mingde's cold and hoarse voice was filled with disgust. "Besides, I will lead the army in person! People should still have some dignity."
