Chapter 162 The virtuous concubine is inside, please go in quickly

"His Majesty?"

When he saw the emperor again, Chen Ran was shocked by his expression.

The emperor, who had once been well-maintained, now looked haggard, as if he had aged twenty years overnight.

Seeing that the emperor was in a daze and did not respond, he turned to look at Xia Bingzhong beside him.

The emperor's confidant dared not say anything, but just shook his head slightly.

Chen Ran'.'

I don’t understand lip reading, so I have no idea what your shaking head means!
Fortunately, someone came to report the news soon, which indirectly informed Chen Ran what had happened.

"Your Majesty, another express horse has come from the capital. This time they are sent by the cabinet, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."

Chen Ran, who was standing aside, immediately turned to look at Xia Bingzhong, only to see the other party nod imperceptibly.

I understand it this time.

Seeing that the emperor did not react, Chen Ran simply dragged Xia Bingzhong out of the palace tent.

"Talk about it."

"We don't know much about it either." As a eunuch, Xia Bingzhong habitually refused when others asked him about the news.

Before I finished speaking, I felt a pile of papers in my hand.
When I looked down, I saw that it was indeed a stack of silver bills.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sir, there's no need to do this."

Chen Ran immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "You won't accept my money?"

If you give money to a eunuch and he refuses to accept it, it means you are in bad luck, so the eunuch dare not accept it.

Or the relationship between the two sides has become extremely bad.

Xia Bingzhong sighed repeatedly, put away the banknotes skillfully, and lowered his voice, "The eldest prince and the third prince are gone."

"I heard it." Chen Ran nodded. "Who did it?"

"I don't know yet." Xia Bingzhong shook his head. "After all, this is a matter in the capital. How can we understand it clearly in such a short time?"

"What do you think, Your Majesty? Who do you think did it?"

"Your Majesty has been silent since he got the news." Xia Bingzhong shook his head again. "It's quite scary. It seems that a bloody storm is inevitable."

Chen Ran thought for a moment, "How serious is His Majesty's injury?"

Xia Bingzhong looked around and confirmed that no one was around before leaning over to whisper, "The dagger was extremely sharp. With one slash, most of the dragon's root was cut off. Blood gushed out like a fountain. It was hard to save it."

"Doesn't that mean that we can no longer be humane in the future?"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Xia Bingzhong was so scared that he wanted to cover his mouth. "When it comes to the emperor, you can't say anything~"

"Nothing." Chen Ran pretended to be relaxed and said, "The Second Prince is still here."

Xia Bingzhong smiled bitterly and said, "Second Prince, that's impossible."

Chen Ran pretended not to understand and asked quickly, "What do you mean? Two of the three princes died, and the remaining one must be the heir. You can't choose from the grandchildren, right?"

"Yes, sir. Not to mention that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei participated in the rebellion, he has already cut himself off from the throne."

"Even if this didn't happen, it wouldn't be his turn. Although we don't know who the murderer is yet, whoever benefits is the culprit, and he has no chance."

"As for grandchildren," Xia Bingzhong sighed, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has a daughter but no son. If he had a son earlier, the fight for the throne would have been settled long ago."

"The King of Wei does have a prince, but he is plotting a rebellion. If the Prince of Wei can inherit the throne, then regardless of other things, can you, as a meritorious official who suppressed the rebellion, allow this?"

"Absolutely impossible." Chen Ran's face darkened immediately. "I'm afraid that if the prince becomes emperor, he will kill my whole family to avenge my father."

"That's right." Xia Bingzhong clapped his hands. "We all have the same idea, so don't even think about the King of Wei."

"As for the King of Qi, he still has no children. If he dies this time, I don't know who will inherit and offer sacrifices to him."

The eldest prince and the third prince died mysteriously, leaving only the second prince among the emperor's own children.

But the second son participated in a rebellion, and as a result, the emperor's only grandson lost his inheritance rights.

What’s even more exaggerated is that the emperor’s penis was cut off, and he no longer had the capital to have children.

In this case, will the great country and the throne be given to King Zhongshun?

Chen Ran was just there to watch the fun.

For him, it doesn’t matter who gets the throne, as it is an internal matter of the royal family.

However, the development of things was in a direction that he had not expected.

As soon as the emperor's injuries eased a little, the army immediately set out to return to the capital.

The capital has long been in turmoil, with all kinds of news flying around.

There were news about the eldest prince and the third prince, as well as various rumors about the rebellion in Tiewang Mountain.

There were all kinds of rumors, some even saying that the emperor and his troops were completely wiped out.

Only when Chen Ran returned safely did everyone in the mansion breathe a sigh of relief.

This is the real backbone of the family.

The girls had an easy life.

There are no elders, so there is no need to follow rules and suffer bullying.

The family has enough income and everyone enjoys a high standard of living.

Qin Keqing didn't like to be in charge of things, and there was no jealousy in the family.

In fact, because the back gardens of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion were actually connected and accessible through the corner gate, the girls from both sides gathered together to play every day, and their lives were even more relaxed than when they were in the Jia Mansion before.

This good time came to nothing when news of rebellion came from Tiewang Mountain.

They were worried about Chen Ran all day long, fearing that he would have an accident that would ruin the whole family.

Fortunately, he finally came back safely.

During dinner, all the girls were smiling, especially Qin Keqing.

According to the established rules, when Chen Ran comes back from going out, the first night must be hers.

When she thought about the interaction tonight, Qin Keqing lowered her head shyly~
Then someone came from the palace. The emperor summoned Chen Ran to the palace to discuss matters.

"So late?" Chen Ran glanced at the sky. It was rare to enter the palace at this time.

"Your Majesty, summon the important ministers to discuss how to deal with the King of Wei." This is what the angel who came to deliver the decree said.

"Oh."

Chen Ran nodded to show that he understood.

For such an important matter, there is no need to distinguish between day and night.

After entering the palace, Chen Ran realized something was wrong, because this was not the way to the imperial study at all.

He immediately became alert, ready to open the space-time gate and escape at any time.

They came to a remote temple and met Xia Bingzhong who was waiting there.

Waving his hand to let the eunuch leading the way leave, Xia Bingzhong stepped forward with a strange look on his face and said, "Ran Gong, this is what His Majesty ordered. Don't say anything later, just do your job."

"Doing business?" Chen Ran was confused. "What business?"

At the same time, in the imperial study room.

The emperor, lying on the couch, squinted his eyes and looked at the royal relatives, civil and military nobles in front of him, saying, "I have discussed with the emperor, the crime of treason by the king of Wei is unforgivable, you can discuss how to deal with him."

Everyone's expressions were equally strange.

Two of the three princes died. If the last one is convicted of treason, who will take the throne after a hundred years of being emperor?

After some whispering, the Prime Minister was the first to come out and salute, "Your Majesty, there is solid evidence that the King of Wei is plotting treason, and he should be stripped of his title and imprisoned. However, most of his family members in the palace are unaware of this, especially the King of Wei's son who is still young. Why not bring him into the palace and let Your Majesty personally raise him?"

Everyone in the imperial study looked sideways when they heard this.

Everyone knew what he meant, which was to get rid of the father and keep the son.

The King of Wei is imprisoned and will soon die of a sudden illness.

However, the Prince of Wei was the only male among the emperor's descendants, and he was kept in the palace to be raised in the hope that someone would succeed the throne in the future.

This time, the Prime Minister was unusually selfless and was purely considering the possibility of finding an heir to the throne.

It's impossible that the throne will be passed on to a distant branch in the future, right?

However, the emperor uttered a word lightly.

"No~"

Everyone was shocked, as this would implicate the Crown Prince of Wei.

Doesn’t that mean that the emperor’s descendants have no chance?

When did the emperor become so magnanimous? Is he planning to pass the throne to a distant relative?

All the distant royal relatives present had happy expressions on their faces, and the corners of their mouths were harder to suppress than AK.

No one expected that such enormous wealth would have a chance to fall on their head.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and glanced at the royal relatives, sneering.

Even if he destroyed the Great Zhou, he would never pass the throne to these outsiders!

That’s right, in the emperor’s eyes, these so-called royal relatives are all outsiders.

No matter what he said, there was no way he would pass on the throne he had fought so hard for to these outsiders.

The second son was indeed still alive, but he was already dead in the emperor's heart.

Although there is no evidence that he was responsible for what happened to the eldest and third brother, as a vested interest, it can be concluded that he was the one who did it.

Not to mention the previous assassinations and treason, how could they allow the second in command to take the throne.

As for his only grandson, it was just as Xia Bingzhong said.

If he were allowed to ascend to the throne, he would certainly vindicate his father in the future, and it would be inevitable for him to be posthumously awarded the title of emperor.

Not to mention the fierce struggle with the nobles and ministers.

Therefore, this grandson is destined to have no chance.

The emperor was already extremely angry, but he couldn't show it at this time.

He waved his hand calmly, stopping the officials' advice, and then announced a shocking piece of news: "I still have an heir."

Everyone was shocked. How come they didn’t know that the emperor had children?
This is not a joke, this is a true story.

When the emperor's favorite concubine has a child, it is a major event concerning the country and everyone inside and outside the palace must know about it.

"May I ask your Majesty?" The Prime Minister responded quickly and asked immediately, "Which noble is pregnant with the dragon seed?"

The emperor finally smiled.

"Xian De Fei."

Outside the remote palace, Chen Ran looked at Xia Bingzhong in astonishment, "What did you say?"

"This is what His Majesty meant." Xia Bingzhong's face was not looking good. If he got involved in this kind of thing, he would most likely be silenced. "The virtuous concubine is inside, so you can go in and borrow the seed yourself."

"Borrow, borrow."

Chen Ran really didn't expect that the emperor would do such a thing.

"What about the daily records?" His first reaction was not to refuse, but to check and fill in the gaps. "What does the imperial physician say?"

When the emperor favored a concubine, it would be recorded in the daily notes, and the ministers would have to check it.

Whether the pregnancy is confirmed or not requires the approval of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

If we can't handle these two sides, there's no point in saying anything.

"The palace will begin a major purge tonight." Xia Bingzhong whispered, "Of course the daily records can be changed. As for the Imperial Hospital, after that incident (the assassination of the imperial physician), the entire Imperial Hospital will be cleaned up, so they can do whatever they want."

"Ran Gong." Xia Bingzhong urged anxiously, "What you need to do now is not to ask questions, but to make Concubine Xian De pregnant as soon as possible!"

After that, he stuffed a small porcelain bottle into Chen Ran's hand and said, "This is the Dragon Tiger Pill, it has excellent effects~~~"

Chen Ran'convex (艹皿艹)'

I don't need this stuff!
