"Your Majesty!" the ministers exclaimed.

Eunuch Gu quickly supported the emperor and said, "Quickly summon Imperial Physician He and the Miraculous Doctor Yunya."

The emperor pushed Eunuch Gu away and sat up, suppressing the pain in his chest.

The emperor spoke each word with great emphasis, then issued an edict: "From this day forward, Prince Yong will be the regent and handle state affairs on my behalf."

"Your Majesty, I obey your command." All the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted in unison, "Long live the emperor."

The ministers have already understood that the Prime Minister's party has completely collapsed.

Your Majesty's appointment of Prince Yong as regent means that Prince Yong will become the heir to the throne of Daxuan in the future.

"Dismiss the court." The emperor swallowed the blood in his throat and looked up at the hall. "Si Yan and Prince Yong will stay."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Si Yan and Qi Ziyu stepped forward and, together with Eunuch Gu and other eunuchs, sent the emperor back to his bedroom.

"Puff..." As soon as he arrived at the bedroom, the emperor could no longer hold back and blood gushed out of his mouth. The ground was covered with blood, which was shocking.

"Father!" Qi Ziyu cried out in pain.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

Eunuch Gu sobbed softly, and the other eunuchs were so scared that they knelt on the ground and cried.

Si Yan ordered people to go and pick up the genius doctor Yun Ya and the imperial physician He, and at the same time ordered people to close the door of the emperor's bedroom to prevent anyone from leaking the news.

At this time, it was already the second watch of the night, and the emperor's bedroom was brightly lit.

Both the genius doctor Yunya and the imperial physician He came to treat the emperor, and both of them looked extremely serious.

Divine Doctor Yunya gave the emperor acupuncture and said to Si Yan, "Your Majesty, your anger and blood are attacking your heart, which has caused great damage to your body."

Si Yan nodded: "Senior, please do your best to take care of His Majesty's health."

Divine Doctor Yunya said solemnly, "Your Majesty, it would be best if you could rest for a while, otherwise..."

From the look on the face of Yunya Divine Doctor shaking his head, Si Yan could tell that the emperor's condition had worsened a lot.

"Si Yan..." The emperor called Si Yan's name in a daze, and Si Yan strode towards him.

"His Majesty?"

The emperor struggled to open his eyes and looked at the woman beside the bed. "The Prime Minister's power cannot be underestimated... The reason why I didn't... didn't touch him was not only because of Prince Xin, but also because..."

The emperor spoke with great difficulty. After just two sentences, he was already gasping for breath.

Si Yan took over the emperor's words and said, "It is also because the Prime Minister has connections and power, and he will raise an army to rebel. Your Majesty, rest assured, I know what is going on. Leave everything to me."

The emperor once did not want to move against the prime minister, but now that he has to, it is not so easy to do so.

Behind the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are too many people and too many interests involved.

The emperor looked at Si Yan's determined eyes and suddenly felt at ease.

Since this girl could guess that the Prime Minister's men would rebel, she must have a way to deal with it.

Si Yan said softly, "Your Majesty can rest assured. As long as I am here, no restless forces can shake the Great Xuan Empire."

The emperor nodded; he believed the girl.

The emperor looked at Qi Ziyu weakly: "Yu'er..."

"Father..."

Qi Ziyu's eyes were filled with tears, and he knelt down and held the emperor's hand.

The emperor's hands were icy cold, and Qi Ziyu quickly ordered people to add a few more stoves to the hall.

The emperor held his son's hand tightly and said, "Promise your father to give Prince Xin a chance to live. After all, he is your brother..."

The emperor also knew that the future of Daxuan could only be handed over to Prince Yong, and even he could not control it.

But given how cruelly Prince Yong treated Prince Chen, he would never let Prince Xin go.

"Your son promises your Majesty." Qi Ziyu nodded.

"Father wants you to swear." The emperor looked at Qi Ziyu sharply, and his five fingers almost pinched the skin of Qi Ziyu's hand.

Qi Ziyu slowly raised his finger and said, "I swear to heaven that I will never harm Prince Xin's life in the future."

The emperor's hands dropped down dejectedly, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

He sighed deeply: "Yu'er, father is sorry for you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's body, which had been holding on tightly, softened.

The genius doctor Yunya came over after writing out the prescription and continued to give the emperor acupuncture.

"You guys go back first. Imperial Physician He and I will take care of His Majesty."

Divine Doctor Yunya looked at Si Yan and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. Your Majesty will be fine for the time being. But you can't be angry anymore."

Si Yan and Qi Ziyu nodded and left the emperor's bedroom.

The Queen and Consort Liu were rushing over here and came face to face with Si Yan and Prince Yong.

Ever since Concubine Liu was promoted to Concubine Liu, the emperor has had great trust in Concubine Liu.

The emperor specifically issued an edict allowing Concubine Liu and the empress to enter the emperor's bedroom to serve him.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother, and greetings to the Concubine Xian." Qi Ziyu saluted the two of them, and Si Yan also followed suit.

The queen's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she already knew what had happened in the court today.

The Queen forced a smile and said to Qi Ziyu, "Yu'er, you are now appointed as regent by imperial decree. You must take care of your health and avoid overexerting yourself."

"I understand, mother." Qi Ziyu replied respectfully.

The Queen nodded, her lips slightly parted. "You are now handling the affairs of state on behalf of His Majesty, including the affairs of your brother, the Crown Prince..."

Qi Ziyu spoke cautiously, "Mother, the Crown Prince has been proven innocent. Once the Prime Minister's treason and other matters are dealt with, I will report this to the Emperor and ask him to release the Crown Prince."

The Queen paused for a moment, suppressing her emotions and said, "Okay, Mother understands."

Prince Yong can order the release of the crown prince now, but he has to wait until he has dealt with the matter of the prime minister before reporting to His Majesty?

The queen watched Qi Ziyu and Si Yan leave, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Her prince has lost so much, including his position as crown prince.

In five years, the situation in the court has changed drastically, the Qin family's power has weakened, and no one will support the prince anymore.

Her poor son was slandered for saving his father, and lost everything and was imprisoned for five years.

She couldn't let out this anger!

Late at night in early spring, the cold wind blows on my cheeks.

Si Yan and Qi Ziyu left the palace together. Palace lanterns were swaying and tree shadows were dancing all around them.

The two of them walked silently, and there was silence all around them.

Si Yan said softly, "May I ask Your Highness Prince Yong, how should Your Highness treat the Crown Prince now that he has come out?"

Qi Ziyu turned around and looked at Si Yan: "Ayan, what do you think I should do?"

Si Yan said slowly: "Although the Crown Prince is kind, he is not a talent for governing a country. He is even more unable to control the current situation in Daxuan."

The emperor did not mention the matter of the crown prince today because he wanted to hand it over to Prince Yong.

The emperor also knew that the future of the crown prince would be decided by Prince Yong.

Qi Ziyu looked at Si Yan with a gentle expression: "The prince was once the King of England, and he will still be the King of England after he is released."

He is no longer the King Yong he once was. Once he retreats, everyone behind him will fall into the abyss.

What he was carrying on his shoulders was no longer the Prince Yong's Mansion, nor just the Situ Mansion, but the entire Daxuan.

Therefore, he will not give up the position of future crown prince.

Even if this person is the prince who grew up with him.

Si Yan smiled and said, "Your Highness is wise."
