Chapter 837: Praise, Regent
Chapter 837: Praise, Regent
What the seventh prince can think of, of course, the Empress can also think of it, but she doesn\'t care, she was in the deep palace, and she knows the Emperor\'s physical condition better than Xiao Tianyao.
"The Emperor has a disease in his brain, and the Imperial Doctor of Qin is only 20% sure. So what if he saves the Emperor? Can he wake up the Emperor?"
If it wasn\'t for framing Xiao Tianyao and pressing Xiao Tianyao to death, she wouldn\'t shot at the Emperor. After all, the Emperor was already a dead person in her heart.
"Even if the Emperor can wake up, what\'s the use? His illness is not well treated, and he has only a few months to live. We have waited for so many years, why should we be afraid of these few months?" The Empress has always been a patient person, she can wait.
As for Prince Xiao?
It doesn’t matter if today’s events don’t bring him down, there was the Central Empire. Her tossing around in the palace was just a small matter to attract Prince Xiao\'s attention, so that Prince Xiao can put all his energy and eyes on her in the palace, and won\'t find out about the actions of the Central Empire and make preparations in advance.
"But mother, Imperial Uncle Xiao is not someone else. Mother should take precautions in advance." No matter how smart the seventh prince was, his age was limited. His knowledge and experience were also limited, so he was used to obeying his mother\'s words.
"Don\'t worry, Zimo, Mother will definitely help you ascend to the throne." The Empress touched the seventh prince\'s head with a loving face.
Regarding matters related to the Central Empire, the Empress didn\'t tell the seventh prince a word, not because she didn\'t want the seventh prince to bear too much, but because she knew very well that although the seventh prince was her son, he was also the Eastern Country\'s prince.
He can\'t lose the entire country because of her.
The Seventh Prince leaned in the Empress\'s arms: "I don\'t want to be an emperor, I just want my mother not to suffer from illness." He was raised under the Empress\'s knees since he was a child, and he knew too well how hard his mother was going through.
"When you are on the throne, we will have enough ability to get the antidote." The Empress gently touched the top of the Seventh Prince\'s head but looked sharply into the unknown distance.
Inside the hall, the mother and son cuddled up to each other; Although the shadow guards had the upper hand, they couldn\'t stand against a large number of assassins. No matter how strong they were, they couldn\'t take them down for a while, and a fierce battle was inevitable.
"What should we do now? Do we still have to go to Luanfeng Hall?" Imperial Concubine Zhou supported the Emperor and asked the palace guards beside her cautiously.
"No, Xiao Wangye is willing to protect the Emperor. With Xiao Wangye here, the Empress will not succeed." People around the Emperor don\'t know the connection between the Empress and the Ci Entang. They only think that the Empress was supported by Prince Xiao.
"Xiao Wangye is not a good person either." She doesn\'t trust the Empress, nor does she trust Prince Xiao. What she can trust now was the people around the emperor.
"It\'s better than the Empress, no matter how bad Xiao Wangye is, he won\'t take the Emperor\'s life." If he wants to take the Emperor\'s life, Prince Xiao can use tricks and ask the Empress\'s people to kill the Emperor, and then come forward to punish the Empress.
"You are right." Imperial Concubine Zhou took a look, gritted her teeth to support the Emperor, and hid behind the shadow guards.
She doesn\'t care about the life and death of the Emperor, but the current situation was extremely unfavorable to her, so the Emperor must live for her and her son.
The shadow guards don’t care what Imperial Concubine Zhou thought. Seeing that the assassins sent by the Empress didn’t show any intention of retreating, and the imperial army didn’t show up, the leader of the shadow guards no longer hesitated to send out a signal, asking for support from the army outside the palace.
Although the Empress controlled the palace, the soldiers and horses in the capital were under Prince Xiao\'s control. When the soldiers outside the palace saw the signal lighted, they immediately sent a team of a hundred people into the palace to explore the way.
Without question, this squad was stopped by the Imperial Army at the gate of the palace. The members of the squad were all elite Jinwuwei soldiers. They were not timid in facing the face of the Imperial Army. While sending a signal to ask the army to come to support them, they fought against the Imperial Army mainly for self-protection.
The news inside and outside the palace was all under the control of the queen. What happened at the gate of the palace reached the Empress\'s ears immediately, but the Empress just responded lightly, without any intention of backing down.
"Imperial Mother… …" The Seventh Prince felt uneasy and tugged on the Empress\'s sleeve.
The Empress shook her head and sighed: "Zimo, don\'t you understand what the Imperial Mother\'s intention is?"
The Seventh Prince was startled, pondered for a moment, and said a little uncertainly: "Mother, do you want to take this opportunity to get rid of His Highness the Crown Prince?" Killing two birds with one stone?
If she can\'t blame Prince Xiao, she could blame the crown prince?
The Empress nodded in satisfaction: "That\'s right. Imperial Mother originally wanted to plot against Xiao Wangye. After all, he is powerful. If we can get rid of him first, our mother and son will have no worries. But the Imperial Mother also knows that he is not an ordinary person, so when I make a move, I made two preparations. If Xiao Wangye makes a move to ruin our plan, we will pull down the crown prince. Before, if the emperor decrees to abolish the crown prince, the emperor will have troubles. It is natural for the crown prince to succeed to the throne, but the crown prince has an inexplicable relationship with the Zhou family. Although the original intention of the Zhou family was not to support the crown prince, now things have developed to this point, there is no guarantee that the Zhou family will not push the crown prince to the top. To be on the safe side, we have to wait until the crown prince is abolished."
The position of the crown prince of the Eastern Country has always been established as the eldest son. The crown prince was the eldest son. He was established as the crown prince when he was a child. As for Prince Wen? The Empress has never put him in her eyes.
"Imperial Mother has plans, it\'s Xiao Qi who thinks too much." The Seventh Prince blushed and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
"You are still young, so you didn\'t think that these things are normal." The Empress smiled and took the Seventh Prince\'s hand, stood up, and said: "Now, our mother and son should put the crown prince under house arrest." Even if everyone knew that the assassins were sent by her, so what? She has a stupid prince who will take the blame, so she was not afraid at all.
The Empress has already arranged everything. Even if the shadow guards rescued the Emperor and the Jinwuwei Army took control of the palace, it was only the crown prince who was finally pushed out to take the blame. They couldn\'t find the Empress\'s fault at all. The Empress and the Seventh Prince even became the victims.
When the crown prince was arrested, his face was ashen, but he didn\'t cry out for injustice. The crown prince sent people to assassinate the emperor and bought the imperial army. Not only she was by the Empress to take the blame of the matter inside the palace, but also the issues outside.
The leader of the shadow guards spent the whole night calming down the matter and passed the news to Xiao Tianyao immediately.
"The Empress has an unparalleled wisdom, I can\'t help but admire." Xiao Tianyao seldom compliments people, let alone women. Besides Lin Chujiu, the only woman he has admired so far was the Empress.
"Wangye, what should we do now?" Liu Bai asked with a frown.
The crown prince can\'t ascend to the throne at this time. According to the Eastern Country\'s succession to the throne, the position of the crown prince will fall to the Seventh Prince.
"To control the inner court, we must cure the emperor\'s illness." The Empress was too ambitious, so he will never let anyone from the Empress\'s side take the throne.
"What about the government?" The Empress took over the affairs of the court before, but she didn\'t get involved in the power of the government. Instead, she pushed Prince Xiao out. Now that the crown prince has an accident, who will take charge of the overall situation?
Xiao Tianyao was silent for a while, and said after a while: "Notify wangfei, we will return to the capital!"
"Huh?" Liu Bai was taken aback for a moment, unable to understand Prince Xiao\'s move.
Their prince and princess were still guilty, why does he want to go back to the capital this time? this time?
"Benwang will be the regent!"
