Chapter 536 The Emperor Knows About His Four Children
Just wanting to take action against the emperor is not difficult at all, it is absolutely impossible.
However, she always believed in the saying that nothing is difficult in the world if one is determined. Even if the emperor was strictly guarded, she still found an opportunity.
She didn't know where her father got the medicine from, but she only gave it to the emperor once, and the emperor's attitude towards her became much better.
In the past, concubines in the harem were never allowed to enter the Qiankun Hall, but the queen was an exception.
But ever since she drugged the emperor, she has become a special one in the harem. Whenever she wants to come to Qiankun Palace, she can come in directly without being stopped.
As she spent more time with the emperor, her chances of drugging him naturally increased. As she drugged the emperor more and more often, his health became weaker and weaker, until he could not even get out of bed, let alone attend court.
She saw that before she drugged the emperor, he was still strong and healthy, but after taking the drug, he became so weak that he was not even as strong as her, a woman.
At this time she was afraid. She was afraid that the emperor would suddenly pass away before the eldest prince became the crown prince, so she stopped giving him the medicine.
But what she didn't expect was that even if she stopped giving him medicine, the emperor's health did not improve under the care of the imperial physician, but instead became worse and worse.
However, the empress later came to Qiankun Palace once and gave the emperor something. He didn't know what it was exactly, but the emperor treated it as a treasure.
But after the Queen's visit, the Emperor's health gradually improved. She became very scared again and continued to give the Emperor medicine.
However, this time the medicine was not as effective as before. You should know that after the medicine was taken before, the emperor's body quickly weakened. But this time it was different. Although the emperor's body was weak, it was not to the extent that he was unable to get up.
She suspected that the drug was becoming less effective, so she increased the dosage, but it still did not produce the desired effect, which was not what she wanted to see.
She had originally thought of persuading the emperor to write an edict to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince when the emperor became weak and dizzy, but she had not found a suitable opportunity during this period.
As the days passed, the emperor's health was gradually getting better, and she became more and more anxious.
She always had a hunch that things might not go as smoothly as she imagined, and she couldn't figure out what might go wrong.
However, she knew that the most important thing now was to hold the emperor firmly in her hands. When the emperor was really incapable of doing so, she would take out the edict that her father had already written and trick the emperor into stamping it with the imperial seal. Then, when the eldest prince ascended the throne legitimately, she would no longer be afraid of being the queen or not.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Your Majesty, lie down quickly and let me pat your back."
Concubine Rou was thinking about something and didn't notice how sharp the look the emperor gave her was.
But in a flash, the emperor closed his eyes and lay down on the bed with Concubine Rou.
"Rou Guifei, please leave. I want to sleep for a while."
"Your Majesty, I will accompany you."
As Concubine Rou said this, she was about to take off her outer shirt.
"I said, I want to sleep for a while."
Concubine Rou heard the urgency in the emperor's words, so she had no choice but to obey him and retreat.
After Concubine Rou left, the emperor sat up quickly from the bed and made a gesture. In an instant, a man in black came out from the darkness and knelt before the emperor.
"How long will it take for Princess Chen to reach the capital with the child?"
"It will take at least twenty days to get back to the Emperor."
"Twenty days, that's a long time."
"Your Majesty, this speed is already very fast. If Princess Chen hadn't found a carriage from somewhere, the horses wouldn't bump no matter how fast they ran. It would probably take two months to reach the capital."
After hearing what the secret guard said, Emperor Wu Wen knew that it was true.
But he was anxious and really wanted to see his grandchildren. Whenever he thought about having three adorable grandsons and a cute granddaughter, he couldn't stop feeling happy, and even his health improved a lot.
"Forget it, twenty days is twenty days. Let them go slowly. Don't make my grandchildren suffer."
When the secret guard heard what Emperor Wu Wen said, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was a little scared. He was afraid that his master would come up with an idea and leave the palace to pick up his grandchildren.
As a secret guard, obedience is his duty. No matter what his master asks, he will carry it out unconditionally.
Even though we knew that the emperor could not leave the palace, if he insisted on leaving, there would be nothing we could do. Fortunately, the emperor did not say anything about leaving the palace.
Emperor Wu Wen had no idea what the secret guard was thinking. He thought to himself that the empress told him not to regret it, and that it must be related to the four children.
What did he have to regret? He had already known that the child Li Mengyue was pregnant with was Ruiyuan's, his third son.
He still remembered how painful it was for him and how sorry he was for his third son when the imperial physician told him that the third prince would have difficulty having children in the future.
He had long made up his mind to pass the throne to the third prince. The reason he did this was not because he was partial to the third prince, but because his third prince was indeed capable of governing the Great Zhou better.
He believed that only if his third son succeeded to the throne, under the governance of the third prince, the people could live and work in peace and contentment, the national strength would become stronger and stronger, and the surrounding small countries would no longer dare to set their sights on the Great Zhou, nor would they dare to frequently invade and harass the border.
But he knew very well that a prince without any children would never be able to reach that position.
But even if he still had expectations for the Third Prince, so what? He couldn't possibly withstand the huge pressure and push the Third Prince to the throne.
Once he did that, there would definitely be turmoil in the court, which was not the result he wanted.
Although he did not make any great achievements during his years in power and did not let the people live a good life, it does not mean that he wants the people to be caught up in war, displaced, and live a life of uncertainty.
He still remembered that he was the emperor, the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and had responsibilities to the people under his rule.
Although there was a flood in Guangping Prefecture last year, he lost his mind and issued an imperial decree to stop the refugees from going north, so that the refugees reached Qingshan Prefecture and could no longer move north.
In order to make up for this mistake, he asked the third prince to stay in Qingshan Prefecture to provide disaster relief. The third prince did not disappoint him. Not only did he properly resettle the refugees, he also built water conservancy projects. This is an achievement that will benefit future generations.
Although the water conservancy project in Qingshan Prefecture was built under the supervision of the third brother, it was indeed completed during his administration. In the future, there will definitely be a record of him in history books, and he will be able to go down in history with this achievement.
Thinking about it this way, the third brother is more suitable for the throne. The eldest and second brother are really not suitable.
After the third son went to Banyue Villa in Wuning County to recuperate, the secret guard brought back a message that the third prince was very close to a woman.
He didn't take it seriously at the time. It was just a woman. His son was a prince and he could have as many women as he wanted.
