Li Huaijin looked at him in surprise, his voice choked with emotion: "Father...you are finally awake."

He immediately stepped forward and helped the man sit up. The emperor recalled what happened before he fainted, and his face immediately darkened.

He had just been in a coma for several days, and his pale and colorless face was obviously uglier.

Seeing this, Li Huaijin stood up and half-knelt on the ground: "Father, I am useless. Now that the Crown Prince is regent, no one can enter the palace to visit you. But I was worried, so I found the right time and brought the doctor here."

The emperor felt pain all over his body. "Ahem, ahem, the Crown Prince... your ambitions are unforgivable."

However, after knowing that the outside world was now under the control of the Crown Prince, he sighed silently: "I am afraid that I can't even walk out of this palace now."

Moreover, if he were discovered by the prince's men, I'm afraid that evil son would get rid of him without hesitation.

Li Huaijin took out the pill and looked at the emperor and said slowly, "Father, this is a pill that can make a person appear dead. You can take it first. On the day of the funeral, I will have someone rescue Father. On the day of the crown prince's coronation, in front of all the ministers, no matter how capable the crown prince is, as long as Father appears, it will naturally be the best answer."

The emperor was silent for a long time after hearing this, and looked at him with a hint of caution, but there was nothing else in Li Huaijin's eyes except concern and seriousness.

The emperor took the pill from his hand and nodded: "Forget it, now you are the only one who remembers me."

After all, if he has ulterior motives, why should he care about himself? The fifth brother has considerable power in his hands, so it would be better for him to compete directly with that evil son.

Seeing him accept it, Li Huaijin lowered his eyes and said, "Father, please wait a few more days. I will take my leave first."

The emperor waved his hand weakly: "Go, be careful."

"Yes."

Seeing Li Huaijin leave, the emperor lowered his eyes. He really couldn't imagine that the prince, with his stupid mind, could be so bold. If it weren't for his good luck, he would probably have done what he wished.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside. The emperor looked at the pill in his hand and immediately put it into his mouth.

Then lie down and act like nothing happened.

The person who came in was a young eunuch. He glanced around casually and saw that the emperor was still lying there, so he sat down on a chair facing the emperor in the room.

After all, this place is remote and no one comes here on weekdays.

Li Huaijin and Meng Qianhe had just climbed onto the roof when they heard a sound.

When he carefully stuck his head out to take a look, he saw that it was the prince and his entourage.

Li Huaijin glanced at the person next to him and immediately pulled her up to squat on the beam.

The prince was accompanied by several people, including the staff of the prince's mansion, Cheng Bingwen and several ministers, and the last one was Zhao Cheng, the Minister of the Imperial Household.

However, Meng Qianhe's eyes became obviously excited after seeing Zhao Cheng at the end. She stared at him intently and stood up instantly.

Li Huaijin was startled and quickly reached out to grab her wrist and covered her mouth with his hand.

However, when he looked at the person next to him, he found that Meng Qianhe's eyes had become extremely cold, and her eyes, which had always been as calm as water, were now filled with endless hatred.

It seems to have no end and is bottomless.

Li Huaijin was stunned and raised his hand to gently stroke her back.

Meng Qianhe seemed to have realized what was happening and stopped struggling. She bit her lips tightly, but her eyes were filled with tears and she was still staring at the back.

Zhao Cheng suddenly paused and looked back for an instant, but found nothing. He thought to himself that he might have overthought. Who could come and go freely in this palace? Thinking of this, he followed the pace of the prince in front of him.

Li Huaijin, who was on the eaves, hugged the person next to him tightly. Meng Qianhe was obviously in a very abnormal mood.

This is... after suddenly seeing Zhao Cheng.

So, what is her relationship with Zhao Cheng...?

Looking at the person in his arms, Li Huaijin's expression changed: "Let go quickly."

Only then did I realize that her veil had already turned bright red.

Seeing that Meng Qianhe refused to give in and was in a bad mood, Li Huaijin raised his hand and hit her on the back of the neck, and Meng Qianhe instantly fell into his arms.

Li Huaijin looked at the person in his arms, sighed, picked her up and walked out of the palace.

May 17

帝崩

Buried in the Huangling Underground Palace.

A country cannot be without a ruler. The prince is the heir to the throne. Now it is natural for him to take over the throne. He announced that a grand coronation ceremony will be held in three days.

Over the next three days, the palace was extremely busy, preparing for the grand ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony

At the enthronement ceremony

All the princes and ministers knelt down in an orderly manner.

The prince walked towards the throne in the middle step by step, with fanatical excitement in his eyes.

The emperor died suddenly, so naturally there was no edict of succession.

So the eunuch who was with the emperor immediately came forward with the imperial seal and knelt in front of the prince.

"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

A group of ministers on the ground lifted their robes and knelt on the ground, about to bow their heads in salute, when a voice broke the solemn atmosphere.

"and many more."

The prince frowned, looked over at him unhappily, and warned him, "Fifth brother? If you have anything to say, talk to me later."

Li Huaijin then took a step forward and said, "Second brother, are you so impatient before our father even passes away? Or have you planned all this?"

The prince's face changed when he heard this, and he shouted at him: "How dare you! If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for not cherishing the affection between brothers."

"Second brother, are you still unwilling to admit it? You deliberately plotted to assassinate our father, and after becoming regent, you placed him under house arrest in the palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, people underground immediately started talking.

The prince's face was gloomy, and he looked at the Imperial Guards: "Come here, capture him for me."

And at this moment there was a roar of anger.

"How dare you, bastard."

As soon as these words were spoken, people looked behind Li Huaijin and exclaimed in surprise.

"emperor!"

"emperor…"

The Crown Prince immediately looked up upon seeing this, and his expression changed drastically the next second: "Father...Father, haven't you already..."

The prince stopped talking immediately and did not finish his next words, but he became arrogant again in an instant.

Seeing that the palace was full of his people, the prince stopped pretending and said, "Come here, please take the emperor back to the Yangxin Palace and take good care of him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, and the Yulin Guards that the prince had called stood aside without moving.

Li Huaijin stepped forward and spoke frankly, "Second brother, don't be silly anymore. The Imperial Guards are my father's men. Now that they see my father, they will naturally obey him. The commander of the Imperial Guards has already confessed his sins and repented."

The prince reacted immediately upon hearing this, instantly collapsed to the ground, and thought to himself, "It's all over."

The emperor looked at him with a gloomy gaze, which frightened him instantly.

"Come here, the prince is planning a rebellion and is being thrown into the Heavenly Prison."

Upon seeing this, the prince immediately stood up, knelt at the emperor's feet and burst into tears: "Father, I was wrong. You love me the most, Father..."
