Riding the Pheonix Chapter 776: Who to choose

"You are my concubine's enemy." Concubine Pei said again.

She looked at the emperor and said, "How can you ask me to fall in love with you?"

When their eyes met, the emperor finally saw in her eyes the truth that he had been unwilling to face for the past twenty-three years.

She never loved him.

She didn't even bother to hate him.

Because the way she looked at him was nothing but indifference.

Concubine Pei said calmly, "If it hadn't been for you, our family would have been happy. We wouldn't have had our family broken up, our mother and her son would not have been separated, and we wouldn't have had to serve others with sex. Why do you think I should be grateful for your favor?"

She retreated, knelt down in front of the bed, and looked at the emperor on the bed, as if looking at a dead person. "When A Jing died, my love died with him. In the past twenty-three years, I have devoted myself to The enemy has been waiting for this day. Your Majesty, what you stole from A Jing should be returned to our son."

The emperor's eyes were about to burst.

He shouted in his heart.

No, he didn't steal anyone's things. He should have gotten this throne!

The three royal brothers were fighting to the death, and even the court was in turmoil. What good would it do to Da Qi?

Isn’t it a good thing that he will be in power and everything will be stable?

If the eldest brother succeeds, he will definitely be able to dominate the world?

He has been on the throne for twenty-three years, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Doesn’t this mean that this is right?

But he opened his mouth but couldn't say these words.

There was a sound outside.

Concubine Pei glanced at it and said with a smile, "Xiang Zhang and the others are here, and the result must have been achieved. Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, and he is dedicated to the great Qi, so he will not object to the establishment of the King of Yue as the crown prince, right?"

Hope lit up in the emperor's eyes.

He wants to say it himself that he does not agree with making that boy his prince! He wants to kill him and let him die before him! Let their family get together in Huangquan!

At this time, Wan Dabao came in with a medicine bowl.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang and the others are here. Please drink a bowl of medicine first to refresh yourself." He said softly.

The emperor's eyes were filled with relief.

He knew that Wan Dabao understood his thoughts. Later, he must appoint the fourth child as his heir apparent in front of all the ministers and cut off that boy's path!

Watching the emperor trying hard to drink the medicine, Wan Dabao's eyes became even more unbearable.

But Concubine Pei was standing nearby, watching coldly, and he could only continue to feed her spoonful after spoonful.

The emperor just now could still squeeze out a few words and express his thoughts. After drinking this bowl of medicine, he could no longer speak.

Wan Dabao's hands were shaking slightly, and his eyes were redder, as if he would shed tears in the next moment.

The emperor saw this and thought, at least this old slave still felt sad for him.

He must cheer up and expose this vicious woman!

After the medicine was given, the courtiers also arrived.

Wan Dabao greeted him.

Concubine Pei used a handkerchief to wipe the concoction from the corner of his mouth.

The emperor looked at her bitterly.

Concubine Pei was calm and did not take it seriously.

When Prince Fu and the Prime Minister came in, she hid behind the screen and was served by Wan Dabao in front of the hospital bed.

Everyone first asked about the emperor's condition.

Zhong Yue said tactfully, "If the prime ministers have anything to say, you'd better say it quickly."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Does this mean they can't hold on?

Receiving the questioning look, Zhong Yue nodded slightly.

The emperor fell ill this time. The situation was not good to begin with, and because he was stimulated by the incident of King An breaking his leg, he was already in critical condition. He had vomited blood just now, and the danger was getting worse. Now Zhong Yue was not sure whether he could survive it.

"Holy Lord!"

Seeing Zhang Tan coming in, hope filled the emperor's eyes.

It's here, it's finally here. He wanted to tell this in public to make that vicious woman's plans fail!

"Your Majesty." Guo Xu stepped forward and asked, "How do you feel? Are you feeling better? The charcoal fire in this room is too hot. Your Majesty is sweating."

Wan Dabao hurriedly said, "This servant was negligent."

As he said that, he hurriedly twisted the handkerchief and wiped the emperor's face and neck, as well as his hands and feet.

The emperor wanted to raise his hand several times, but he held it and wiped it.

The emperor was worried.

What's going on with this old slave? He's usually quite clever, why can't he see it now?

He opened his mouth and finally managed to pronounce "Ah..."

"Your Majesty!" Wan Dabao hurriedly brought the handkerchief over and wiped away the spilled concoction, his eyes sparkling with tears, "Swallow it and don't spit it out..."

The emperor was wiped a few times by him, but he really felt like vomiting.

His Adam's apple slid and he was blocked in one breath. He was really speechless now.

When Wan Dabao finished wiping, the emperor's eyes were distracted, and the energy he had finally gathered was almost exhausted.

Zhang Tan frowned and squeezed in front of him, "Okay, I'll wipe it off later."

Wan Dabao also felt that it was almost done, and stepped back respectfully, "Yes."

"Your Majesty," Zhang Tan said, "do you want to appoint the fourth prince as your heir apparent?"

Waiting for the emperor to reply, Guo Xu said first, "Your Majesty! You may not have thought before that besides the fourth prince, there are other candidates. We have discussed it. The fourth prince is too young and has no support from his elders. So, I am afraid that the Chu family will be in danger if I succeed to the throne, so it is better to choose an older one. His Royal Highness the King of Yue is very suitable in terms of age and character. We all think that it is better to establish the King of Yue as the heir apparent."

The emperor already knew the news, but he did not expect that the representative was Guo Xu.

This old boy... if you can get him to do something, he must have had bad intentions for a long time!

No, absolutely not...

He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he only moved the corners of his mouth.

Guo Xu asked again, "Your Majesty, what do you think? His Royal Highness the King of Yue is young, in good health, and capable of both civil and military affairs. Although it is a bit strange to establish a grandnephew, it is the best result for Da Qi. . You are a benevolent gentleman, I guess..."

He kept talking and gave the reasons over and over again.

Not only was the emperor dizzy, but Zhang Tan was impatient and finally couldn't help shouting, "That's enough! Let the Holy One speak!"

Guo Xu immediately stopped talking and looked very obedient, with an apologetic look on his face, "I was too talkative for a moment~IndoMTL.com~Please forgive me, Your Majesty. We all think it would be better to make the King of Yue his crown prince. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

Zhang Tan frowned and said, "What do you mean everyone thinks it? Don't talk nonsense, there are many people who support the fourth prince." He said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Of course we must establish the fourth child!

The emperor said in his heart, but he tried hard to open his mouth, but still couldn't pronounce a syllable, and he was even less energetic than before.

No, he wants to say...

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Tan felt something was wrong.

The emperor's breathing became more and more rapid. Not only could he not speak, but his fingers were trembling.

Seeing this, Wan Dabao quickly shouted, "Miracle Doctor Zhong, Doctor Zhong!"

Zhong Yue was waiting outside, and immediately stepped into the palace door. When he saw the situation, he quickly took out the needle and inserted it into the emperor's forehead.

After a while, the emperor's breath finally stabilized.

Zhang Tan had no choice but to seize the moment and asked, "Are you going to make the fourth prince or the king of Yue? If you can't tell, just blink. If you make the fourth prince, blink twice. If you make the king of Yue, blink twice."

The emperor relaxed and thought that Zhang Tan was still reliable.

Just as he was about to blink, the needle on his forehead suddenly shook. His head suddenly hurt, and blood flowed from his nose.

What's going on?

His eyes widened, but he met Zhong Yue's gaze.

Calm, but with unquestionable determination.
