As soon as the decree to enthrone the prince tomorrow morning was announced, the entire capital was in turmoil, and various forces were ready to take action.

The Queen was looking through the account books and attending to trivial matters in the harem when a maid hurried in, walked to her side, and said, "Your Majesty, there's news from the Imperial Study that the Emperor will hold court tomorrow morning to enthrone the Crown Prince."

The queen paused while flipping through the account book. There was no joy on her face, and there was even a hint of sadness.

"Why is it so sudden?"

At this moment, she was extremely uneasy.

Last time she wanted to ask whether Xia Nanxing was poisoned or not, but she didn't ask in the end.

Everything has been calm these days, and her heart has gradually settled down. She thinks it would be good if it could continue like this.

But she didn't expect that the prince would be appointed so suddenly, which made her feel that something was happening.

It was clearly brought up at the morning court two days ago and they said they would discuss it later. This is not a small matter and it will definitely take a long time to discuss.

But it was decided in such a hurry that the queen couldn't help but think about it.

The queen pondered for a moment and then asked, "Did anything unusual happen today?"

The maid thought for a moment and said, "The missing Lord Yuan has been found at the post station. The Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang has been detained by the Dali Temple."

The queen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Yuan Junyao, rice, Ministry of Agriculture, deceased Minister of Agriculture.

Now southern Xinjiang is involved again.

Just at this time, Xia Nanxing was about to enthrone the prince.

The Queen became increasingly uneasy and immediately ordered, "Call the First, Second, and Fourth Princes over."

"Yes, Queen."

Soon, the three princes came over.

Xia Jinyu had a simple and honest look on his face. He sat aside and didn't need to say anything. He just peeled the orange and ate it.

Xia Jinxian and Xia Jinbai sat upright on the other side, looking at the queen.

The Queen asked solemnly, "Have you heard the news from the Imperial Study?"

Xia Jinxian remained silent.

Xia Jinbai smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor will appoint a crown prince tomorrow morning."

The queen nodded, but her expression was very solemn.

Xia Jinbai smiled heartlessly, not even noticing any danger. The Queen was a little disappointed, and her eyes fell on Xia Jinxian.

Xia Jinxian looked at her and slowly lowered his head, saying, "Wait and see what happens, and make preparations early."

The queen sighed softly, and her eyes gradually darkened as she looked away.

At this moment she understood that the emperor's decision was right.

She only said worriedly: "I wonder how your father's health is."

Xia Jinbai said as a matter of course: "What could be wrong with my father's health?"

The queen ignored him and her eyes fell on Xia Jinxian.

Xia Jinxian still lowered his head and said, "I don't know."

He really didn't know Xia Nanxing's specific physical condition, but there was definitely something wrong.

He could feel that high hopes were placed on him, and many times what Xia Nanxing said to him sounded like his last words.

And he did feel the delicate situation today.

So the enthronement of the prince was fake, and the real purpose was probably to lure the snake out of its hole.

If the snake cannot be lured out, it would be a good thing if the prince can be successfully enthroned.

Ever since the previous Minister of Agriculture was killed, this has become more than just a simple internal struggle.

The queen was frowning, and at the moment she was actually worried about Xia Nanxing's health, and she didn't care much about whether her son would inherit the throne.

Maybe it was because she knew that the throne definitely belonged to her son.

People only realize how important some people are when they are about to lose them.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Jinbai didn't understand why the queen was so worried. Wouldn't it be a good thing for them to be crowned as the crown prince?

This situation is beneficial to them.

The prince must be between him and Xia Jinxian.

But given the queen's favor towards him, he was always determined to win her.

The queen waved her hands, rubbing her swollen and aching temples, and said, "You guys go, I'm a little tired."

"Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Jinbai went forward to show concern.

Xia Jinyu and Xia Jinxian had already gone out.

The queen really didn't have the patience to deal with Xia Jinbai at this moment.

This child was spoiled too much by her and was somewhat unaware of the dangers of the world.

Perhaps he is indeed not fit to ascend the throne.

"Your Highness, you should go back first. The Queen has been overworked and needs to rest."

Under the persuasion of the palace servants, Xia Jinbai had no choice but to leave.

The queen did have a headache and lay on her side on the couch, unable to get up for a long time.

Compared to the Queen's uneasiness, Concubine Rong was the one who was truly anxious.

"Didn't you say last time that the matter of the crown prince should be handled slowly? Why are they suddenly conferring the title of crown prince? Now Yi'er hasn't returned yet, what should we do?"

This prince was not crowned early or late, but was crowned when Xia Jinyi was not around.

Isn't this clearly telling everyone in the world that Xia Jinyi has been kicked out?

Even though there wasn't much chance of winning, it was still chilling.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Once the Crown Prince is crowned tomorrow morning, the matter will be settled. If something really happens to the Emperor, we won't even have a chance to compete."

The matter was already pressing. The imperial concubine hardened her heart and said in a cold voice, "Success or failure depends on this one move. When will Yi'er arrive in the capital?"

"Probably four or five days."

Concubine Rong fell into deep thought. After a moment's reflection, she said, "I suddenly feel that this might not be a bad thing."

Jianjia looked at Concubine Rong in confusion.

Concubine Rong's eyes hardened, and she said in a deep voice, "As long as the imperial edict to appoint the crown prince is not announced to the world, who will know who the crown prince is, so..."

Jianjia said uneasily, "My Lady, if we wait for the first one to take action..."

Concubine Rong sighed, "Others can afford to wait, and have the resources to do so, but we can't. We only have this one chance. If we succeed, order Yi'er to rush back to the capital. If we fail, let him go back. What happens in the capital has nothing to do with him."

Sacrifice the rook to save the pawn, but if it succeeds, everyone will be happy.

Although they knew in their hearts that the chances of success were very slim.

Concubine Rong took a deep breath, her palms sweating from nervousness, but there was no other way to go.

"Give the order and get ready."

..........

After Gu Kui was arrested, he was imprisoned in the Dali Temple. As the news spread, Guli was allowed to return to southern Xinjiang with a letter from Xia Nanxing.

Although the enthronement of the crown prince seems to have nothing to do with Gu Kui's arrest, it always makes people feel that there is some deeper meaning.

It was already a turbulent time. Around 3 p.m., the Empress Dowager suddenly became critically ill. The entire Imperial Hospital rushed to the Empress Dowager's palace to treat her, but they were helpless against her condition.

The chief judge of the Imperial Hospital suggested that the head of Yaowang Valley be invited to come and save the Queen Mother's life, otherwise she would not survive the night.

Xia Nanxing, the Queen, and all the concubines were now staying in the Queen Mother's palace.
