Chapter 240: The Stunning Secret Guard in Ancient Power Conspiracy and Hegemony (43)
When Gongyi Mu arrived at Zichen Hall, the Holy Master had fallen into a deep sleep again.
"Servant Jing, how is your father?"
After Gongyi Mu saluted, he asked the chamberlain beside him in a low voice.
The chamberlain replied cautiously and respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have just woken up for a while, and now you have fallen asleep again. Your Majesty now has to sleep for ten hours a day."
As he spoke, he sighed softly.
He is His Majesty's chamberlain, and once he was the Emperor, he was a courtier. If something happened to His Majesty, his life would not be much easier in the future.
"Brother, did you find anything that angered your father today?"
Standing up, he carefully observed the Holy Master and saw that he was indeed drowsy and asleep. Only then did Gongyi Mu continue to ask.
Naturally, the chamberlain didn't say much and just smiled.
"My servant didn't really hear what he said at the time. It's just that His Majesty was ill and depressed. There's nothing serious between father and son."
It would not be a good thing for him to get involved in the prince's fight.
This is not what Gongyi Mu wants to hear.
He gently took something out of his sleeve and put it into the hand of the chamberlain.
"Servant Jing, you have been serving your father for so many years. Now that he is seriously ill, you should make plans for your future. I heard that you are looking for an heir to pass on the incense. Also, if you don't have an heir, you will not be able to make incense sacrifices in the future. No one. I can help you, not only to find a suitable heir for you, but also to allow him to study and become an official and have a bright future."
Gongyi Mu also saw that there was really no chance for the emperor to get better, so he had the courage to say these words.
Now that the crown prince is undecided, whoever can attack boldly may be able to determine the final victory.
Especially now that I don't have the support of the Xie family, and I am taking a step too far in raising my heir, I naturally have to work harder and fight harder.
He didn't believe that if Gong Yishuo ascended the throne, he would be spared by his brothers and sisters.
Even if Gongyi Shuo is willing, Yao Guang will definitely not be willing.
When the chamberlain saw what was in his hand, his eyes widened in shock.
He didn't expect that Gongyi Mu would be so generous.
It was a thick stack of banknotes. At a glance, it was no less than 50,000 taels.
The most important thing is that he promised a future for his heir to study and become an official.
But, if I betray His Majesty.
There was obvious confusion in his eyes.
Gongyi Mu naturally saw it too.
"I have asked people at the Taiyuan Hospital that my father's illness will not survive this month. Minister Jing, you have to plan for yourself early. Sometimes, if you slow down for a day, the result will be very different."
He just looked at his father's face on the dragon bed, and he was even more convinced of what the imperial doctor said.
The founding emperor, who spent his military life, really only had a few days left to live.
After hesitating for a long time, Waiter Jing still clutched the wad of silver notes.
"Your Highness, Prince Rui was reprimanded by your Majesty because he wanted beauty rather than power. Your Majesty said that as long as Prince Rui grants the death of Concubine Rong, he will immediately issue an order to make him the prince. Prince Rui would rather kowtow than to be executed. Concubine Rong. His Majesty was furious and said that he would remove his title from the prince. He lost his temper and told Prince Rui to get out."
Execute Concubine Rong?
The position of prince?
Gongyi Mu was shocked and suddenly turned his head to look at the emperor on the dragon couch.
"Father, it turns out that the one you care most about is your eldest son."
Even when you were seriously ill, you still chose Gong Yishuo to be the prince.
It's a pity that the person you chose was too unsatisfactory. He was so fascinated by a woman that he actually gave up the position of prince that was easily available to him.
Now it seems that the secret guards trained by the Xie family are really powerful.
A flash of light confuses Gong Yishuo to the point where he can even give up his seat among ten thousand people!
Gongyi Mu walked to the outer room with heavy steps.
Gongyi Mu sat for a long time looking at the heavy-looking palace officials in the palace and the sighing imperial doctors.
Until, candles were lit in the hall, and the chamberlain quietly came out.
"Your Majesty, Prince Cheng, your Majesty is awake."
Woke up?
Gongyi Mu gathered his emotions and walked towards the inner room.
"Father, may you be blessed and safe."
After bowing his head respectfully, Gongyi Mu took the decoction from the palace attendant and prepared to feed the Holy Emperor the medicine.
The Holy Spirit waved his hand.
"I know my body well and there is no need to drink this. It is of no use except bitterness."
After saying that, he turned to look at Gongyi Mu.
"You have worked hard too. Let your brother come in to serve me tomorrow."
Then, he began to close his eyes and rest, as if he had nothing to say to Gongyi Mu.
If Gongyi Mu didn't know about the dispute between Shengshang and Gongyi Shuo, maybe he wouldn't care so much about Shengshang's attitude now.
But just because he knew it, infinite unwillingness welled up in his heart.
Why? !
Why? !
Gong Yishuo refused the position of prince for a woman. Why, father, when you wake up, you don't even want to mention it to me.
Am I not worthy to be this prince?
Could it be that Gongyi Shuo is that good?
Why don't you ask me? !
I can give death to any concubine in my backyard, why don't you ask me? !
Is it possible that only Gongyi Shuo is your son?
Is the eldest son so important?
Then why did you still give birth to me with your mother and concubine? !
Gongyi Mu had too much unwillingness and anger in his heart.
But in the end, he just stood up silently and stood aside, holding his hands and lowering his eyes, saying nothing.
until……
"Your Majesty is asleep."
The chamberlain said in a very low voice.
Gongyi Mu finally raised his head, his eyes filled with determination.
Father, I don’t want to reach this point.
But you are so partial, forcing me to do this.
"Servant Jing, please take a step to speak."
Gongyi Mu looked at the chamberlain with no expression on his face.
After a cup of tea, the chamberlain returned to His Majesty with a pale face. He was always calm, but his hands were trembling slightly at this moment.
Thinking of what had just happened, he was horrified at the moment.
Gongyi Mu, on the other hand, dismissed everyone in the outer hall and walked alone to the study room of Zichen Hall. He looked around and turned the plum vase placed on the ancient shelf against the wall of the study room.
Left once, right three times.
The Bogu rack squeaked and turned, slowly revealing the brocade box inside.
really.
Gongyi Mu looked gloomy.
"Your Majesty has already made a secret decree to pass the throne to you before you enter the palace. Although I don't know the contents, I think it should be Prince Rui."
"Your Majesty's waking hours are getting shorter and shorter now. I'm afraid it's just the past two or three days."
The words of the servant Jing echoed in his ears.
Gongyi Mu's eyes darkened a bit.
Father, this position will be decided by my sons and ministers.
As long as the secret decree is gone, so are you.
At that time, the chamberlain around you insists that I was the one who passed away before your death. Even if the subjects have objections, it will not matter.
Who made that idiot Gong Yishuo leave the palace just now with his head bruised and bruised? Now everyone knows that he has fallen out of favor.
My sons and ministers have won the throne, and everyone is waiting for them!
Gongyi Mu stretched out his hand and reached towards the brocade box.
Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind.
"Gui Zi, what are you doing?"
