She married a dying prince and she won three babies.
Chapter 403 Eunuch Hai Faints
Eunuch Hai's vigilance made him feel more stressed, and the plan proposed by Concubine Wan, although feasible, was also full of risks.
His identity as a fake emperor could be exposed at any time, so he had to complete the plan as soon as possible to ensure that it would be foolproof.
As long as the third prince successfully ascends the throne, his goal will be achieved.
Only when Wei has such a fool as its emperor can Canglan breathe a sigh of relief.
These days, if I hadn't given them mother and son advice behind the scenes, it would have been harder than climbing to the sky for them to accomplish anything.
"Come here." The "Emperor" called a eunuch.
This eunuch previously served in Concubine Wan's palace, but he was transferred to serve beside her yesterday.
"Your Majesty." The young eunuch bowed.
"You go and personally invite Prince Mo to the palace, and tell him I have something important to discuss. Be careful not to make it too grand. Instead, tell him he wants to see me."
The implication is that no one should know that he sent someone to invite someone.
The eunuch took the order and left, and the "Emperor" sat on the dragon throne, closing his eyes in thought.
He knew that every next step was crucial, and if he was not careful, he would lose everything.
Cao Mengxing was writing a calligraphy painting in his study. When he learned that the emperor was looking for him, he changed his clothes and hurried into the palace.
When he saw the "Emperor", he bowed respectfully: "Your servant Cao Mengxing pays homage to the Emperor."
"My dear minister, please rise. I summoned you today to discuss an important matter."
Cao Mengxing stood up, secretly guessing the emperor's intentions.
He thought about it all the way here, but couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to see him about.
The "Emperor" sent out all the servants in the imperial study, including the Dragon Shadow Guard, and asked him to stay away.
"Brother Xing, I am already forty-eight this year and old. I have been thinking over and over again recently and feel that the matter of appointing a crown prince should not be delayed any further. I wonder what your opinion is on this matter, brother Xing?"
Cao Mengxing was stunned that the emperor wanted to discuss such an important matter with him, and then he felt happy.
A few days ago, during the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, the Emperor encountered another assassination attempt by Canglan assassins. Upon investigation, it was discovered that they were subordinates of the former Crown Prince Canglan, seeking revenge for their master.
Concubine Wan Shu and the Third Prince made great contributions in saving the emperor during the assassination. In recent days, the emperor has been very fond of the Third Prince. After the morning court session every day, he would keep the Third Prince and bring him to the imperial study for instruction.
Now that the emperor has taken the initiative to bring up the matter of appointing a crown prince, does he want to appoint the third prince as the crown prince?
If the third prince is really made the crown prince, it will be of great benefit to his Prince Mo's Mansion.
The eldest prince has a scar on his face. Since ancient times, no emperor has ever had a scar on his face.
No matter how skilled Princess Zhenguo's medical skills are, it is impossible for her to be completely free of any abnormalities.
Then the emperor will only choose from other princes, and the third prince has been the most popular recently.
Thinking of this, Cao Mengxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country.
The eldest prince is already twenty-seven years old, and the third prince is also twenty-one. It is indeed time to appoint a crown prince.
I believe that the Third Prince possesses both talent and virtue, and is well-equipped to shoulder this important responsibility."
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction. "Your Excellency is absolutely right. However, this matter still needs to be discussed in the court. Would you be willing to share my concerns?"
Cao Mengxing was delighted again, as the emperor really liked the third prince.
At the same time, he also knew that this was the emperor testing his attitude.
Establishing a crown prince is a major event and will inevitably cause controversy among court officials.
Moreover, the emperor cannot appoint anyone he wants as the emperor; the opinions of the court officials are also very important.
If too many people oppose the nomination, the prince cannot be appointed.
There are also several factions in the court. Currently, the eldest prince has the greatest advantage. Although he has lost face, he has the eldest grandson.
It is not impossible that some court officials would strongly suggest that the eldest grandson be made the crown prince and that the eldest prince assist him.
He knew perfectly well that the eldest prince was more popular than the third prince.
The third prince's wife is just pregnant now, and it is still unknown whether it is a boy or a girl.
But now that the emperor favors the third prince, his temperament has changed.
The emperor needs someone to help him overcome public opinion, so this is his great opportunity.
Cao Mengxing knelt down without hesitation when he thought of this: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you with all my heart and soul. I will do my utmost to make this happen."
The Emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I'm relieved to have your help."
The two discussed the details again before Cao Mengxing took his leave.
When he walked out of the imperial study, Cao Mengxing was extremely excited.
As long as the third prince is made the crown prince, and he has the merit of recommending and following the emperor, the status of the Mo Palace will surely rise, and Nanhua will also have the opportunity to return to the capital.
At the same time, the "Emperor" was sitting in the imperial study, but he was not at ease.
He knew that every next step was full of unknown risks.
"Eunuch Hai..." The "Emperor" murmured in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Eunuch Hai is a smart man. If he continues to doubt, he will discover the problem sooner or later.
This hidden danger must be resolved as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, the "Emperor" summoned a trusted guard and whispered a few instructions. This guard had also been newly promoted. He had been placed in the palace a long time ago.
The guards took the order and left, and he sat on the dragon throne, closing his eyes and thinking.
After all, his identity as a fake emperor could not be hidden from anyone.
But we must hold on until the third prince is made the crown prince, otherwise everything will be in vain.
And he sacrificed so many of his subordinates.
On the other side, the prince returned to the palace and immediately found the emperor.
He told her about his encounter with Eunuch Sun.
"Hongyi, Eunuch Hai may be in danger. Although he is a eunuch, he has been with me since he was a teenager and has served me for decades. He has taken good care of me, and I can't bear to see him die. Find a way to save him."
"I obey your order." The prince bowed.
He thought that Eunuch Hai was in danger, so he came to ask for permission to see the emperor's attitude.
The emperor is indeed a loyal man.
The prince returned to his study and pondered for a moment.
"Dark one."
"My subordinate is here."
"Go and invite the Crown Prince's Consort."
"Yes."
Yu Yuanzheng was playing games with the children. When she learned that the prince was looking for her, she immediately went to the study in the outer courtyard.
"Meet the father."
"sit."
"I wonder why my father is looking for a daughter-in-law?"
"Eunuch Hai in the palace has aroused the suspicion of the fake emperor, and his life is in danger. Do you have any suitable medicine to make him seriously ill so that he can temporarily be unable to serve the fake emperor?"
This is what the prince thought of.
If Eunuch Hai was not serving in the imperial study and was too ill to get up, perhaps his life could be saved.
After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng knew what her father meant.
"Yes, but it's not readily available. And this medicine is best made into pills so that Eunuch Hai can swallow it directly."
"Well, then you do it now. Give it to me before dark."
"Yes."
Yu Yuanzheng returned to Qiyayuan and immediately sent someone to find Ziyue and Jianghua.
Tools that have not been used for a long time are taken out again.
The master and his two servants started tinkering with it again, and within the time limit set by the prince, they finally made a few Xiaoyao Pills that even the imperial physicians could not find the cause of the disease.
After taking this medicine, people always feel drowsy and have difficulty standing still.
The prince got the pills and immediately arranged for them to be sent to the palace.
The prince also has people in the palace.
Of course, that man was also a eunuch.
This person quietly asked Eunuch Hai, who was serving outside the imperial study, to move aside.
Explain your intention.
"What does Prince Rong mean?" Eunuch Hai felt puzzled.
"Eunuch Hai, the prince has instructed you not to ask any questions. You will find out later. Just listen to the prince and eat. The prince will not harm you."
Eunuch Hai knew that the emperor and the prince had a close relationship, and he was a useful person by the emperor's side, so he would never harm him. Of course he believed this.
Seeing how serious he was, Eunuch Hai swallowed the medicine on the spot.
"Eunuch Hai, for the remaining pills, you should take one every day. Remember this."
Then half an hour later, Eunuch Hai suddenly fainted outside the imperial study.
When the "Emperor" learned about it, he asked someone to invite the imperial physician on duty to see him.
The result was that Eunuch Hai had an acute illness and needed to stay in bed to rest, otherwise his life would be in danger.
Of course, the imperial physician on duty at night was specifically instructed by the prince to say so.
The imperial physician had received the prince's favor, so of course he would not refuse such a small matter.
Although Eunuch Hai was the chief steward of the emperor, he was only a servant and could not obey the prince's orders.
When the "Emperor" got this result, he sighed in his heart: This castrated dog is so lucky.
He had already arranged for him to die suddenly tonight, but he himself became very sick and was about to die.
