The princess was fed contraceptive soup on the day of the marriage exchange, and she went crazy

The imperial physician arrived late and was immediately pulled over as soon as he entered the hall: "Hurry, check on His Majesty, it seems His Majesty is not breathing."

The imperial physician was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and knelt down beside the emperor. He first checked the emperor's breathing, and then felt his pulse, neck, and heart.

I touched it the first time, and then the second time.

The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and everyone stared blankly at the imperial physician.

After a long while, the imperial physician finally raised his head, his face filled with grief: "Your Majesty... has passed away!"

"His Majesty is dead!"

Whispers were heard all around, and Sheng Nanzhi's face was filled with astonishment that was hard to conceal.

After her rebirth, everything seemed to be progressing so fast that she was caught off guard.

Wen Tingyun became the crown prince, but died soon after.

The emperor inexplicably appointed Shi Huaizhi as the crown prince, and then he died.

Several more imperial doctors came and confirmed the emperor's death.

Then, wailing sounds quickly rang out. Several princes who had been arguing with the emperor in the hall seemed to have no reaction. They just called out "Father" and then cried loudly.

"His Majesty is dead!"

"His Majesty is dead!"

The sound spread from near to far, layer by layer, and soon the death knell was sounded.

On the palace road, Concubine Hua, clutching the imperial edict, was almost at the palace gate. Hearing the funeral bell, she paused and turned back in surprise.

"His Majesty is dead!"

As the cries gradually became more audible, Concubine Hua suddenly came to her senses. She hurriedly stepped on the funeral bells that had not yet finished ringing, quickly walked to the palace gate, and shouted to the people waiting outside the palace: "Prince Yi's Mansion, is Beifeng here?"

Shi Huai was stunned and walked over quickly.

Just one glance between Concubine Hua and Shi Huaizhi was enough to confirm each other's identity.

Concubine Hua was trembling all over, and her voice was shaking as well. She handed the imperial edict to Shi Huaizhi and took a deep breath. "This is... the emperor just gave it to you to intimidate the other princes..."

She paused, then quickly changed her words: "Issue an imperial decree to Prince Yi, appointing him as the Crown Prince."

"Prince Yi's wife received the imperial edict on behalf of Prince Yi."

"And just as she reached the palace gate, she heard the news that the emperor had fallen into a coma again."

"She gave me this imperial decree and asked me to hand it to you personally."

Concubine Hua bit her lip tightly and lowered her voice: "His Majesty has passed away. You must follow me into the palace immediately."

"But the other princes are here, and you are alone. Are you sure?"

Shi Huaizhi's eyes were dark, he just lowered his head and looked at the imperial edict in his hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

His princess gave him a big surprise.

He took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

Concubine Hua nodded, looking at the vague gaze at them from the palace gate. She took a deep breath and raised her voice, "Your princess is ill, yet she still came to the palace. She is weak and about to faint. You should be the ones who know your princess's condition best. Hurry and come into the palace with me!"

After Concubine Hua finished speaking, she hurriedly took Shi Huai and his party into the palace and headed straight for the Taiji Hall.

At this moment, everyone in the hall had experienced the panic when the emperor was found to have no breath, and the heartbreak after the imperial physician announced the emperor's death. They had gradually recovered a little.

Everyone's minds quickly became active.

The eldest prince is still in prison, so the second prince is the eldest.

He immediately feigned sobbing twice, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, and spoke with a fake sob: "My father passed away too suddenly."

"He was still talking to us just now, but he was so excited that he just stood up and fell down."

"But he actually...just...left like this!"

"It happened so quickly and so suddenly that he didn't even have time to make arrangements for his funeral."

"Now we are left with this mess. What are we supposed to do?"

Immediately, a court official echoed, "Yes, the country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Now that His Majesty has passed away, the funeral must be grand and splendid, but at the same time, the selection of a new ruler cannot be delayed either."

"I believe that the eldest prince, having previously poisoned Your Majesty, has shown flawed moral character and is now imprisoned by Your Majesty. It is naturally impossible for him to be chosen as the new ruler."

"Since the eldest prince is out of the question, then the second prince should naturally inherit."

"After all, apart from the eldest prince, the second prince has the longest one."

The other princes were naturally unhappy: "Why must the eldest son be the heir?"

"This is the new king!"

"This is a matter that concerns the future of Canglan Nation and its people, so it cannot be taken lightly. The ruler of a country must be the most virtuous, the most talented, and the one who is best able to govern the country!"

Sheng Nanzhi's eyelashes trembled and she raised her eyes. These people were arguing with each other until their faces were red and their necks were thick, but they seemed to have forgotten everything.

Less than an hour ago, the emperor just appointed a crown prince.

Chang and Xian naturally had to give up their thrones to the crown prince appointed by the emperor himself.

After all, the imperial edict is there.

That was the imperial edict that the emperor personally stamped with his golden seal before his death.

They argued endlessly and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

But they just confronted each other, and the hall became strangely quiet.

Sheng Nanzhi spoke at the right time: "But, didn't His Majesty just issue an imperial decree to appoint Prince Yi as the crown prince?"

"Since His Majesty has decreed the appointment of a crown prince, the throne should naturally be inherited by the crown prince."

Because of the sudden silence in the hall, Sheng Nanzhi's words seemed particularly abrupt and clear.

Many people turned their heads to look at Sheng Nanzhi. The Second Prince couldn't help but sneer, "What does Princess Yi mean? Could it be that you want to make a comatose loser the emperor?"

"Are you planning to have your Sixth Brother ascend the throne, and then use the Emperor as a coercion to control the other princes and take control of the Canglan Kingdom? I had no idea Princess Yi's ambitions were so great."

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes, her expression indifferent: "Second Prince, you are joking. I am just a woman, so naturally I don't have such great ambitions. However, Second Prince, you are addressing me wrongly. You should call me Crown Princess."

"I just think that since His Majesty has issued an order, we must naturally follow it."

"My husband is the crown prince personally appointed by His Majesty."

"Besides, even before my husband fell into a coma, his abilities and talents were personally recognized by Your Majesty many times."

"My Lords, you must admit that his ability and wisdom far surpass those of the other princes, right?"

Everyone else was confused by Sheng Nanzhi and didn't know what he was trying to do.

"But the prince... is unconscious."

Sheng Nanzhi smiled: "What if..."

Her voice overlapped with another voice that suddenly sounded outside the hall: "What if I am not unconscious?"
