Soon, Li Qian and the fifth prince Li Ran met.
"Li Hou, Eunuch Wang!"
Seeing them, Li Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, proving that everything went well.
As Li Hou expected, there was indeed a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace from the Queen Mother's side.
"Marquis Li, it seems that there are no pursuers coming out of the palace." He stayed here, naturally paying attention to the situation at the palace gate.
Li Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, "There really are no pursuers."
"Marquis Li, wouldn't it be better if there were no pursuers? Since we have joined the fifth prince, we should hurry up to meet the emperor." Wang Chun said.
Although Huang Sanmei had already gone to save the emperor, he was still worried.
"Eunuch Wang, I know you are worried about the emperor. The third sister has gone, and the emperor can naturally be rescued. But you also said that the emperor is unconscious, and rescuing the emperor cannot guarantee that the emperor will wake up immediately. Faced with this situation at this time Prince Jing, we cannot place our hopes on the Emperor." Li Qian said.
Wang Chun was startled. Indeed, rescuing the emperor should not be a big problem now, but the emperor didn't know when he would wake up, and at dawn, Prince Jing was about to announce the so-called succession edict.
"Then what Marquis Li means, who should we put our hope in?"
Li Qi'an glanced at the fifth prince, "Didn't I tell Eunuch Wang before that since Prince Jing obtained a fake edict, can't we? The jade seal is already in our hands, and with Eunuch Wang personally reading it, it's better than anything else. Prince Jing’s edict must be more convincing.”
Wang Chun also suddenly understood what Li Qian meant.
"Is Marquis Li going to draft an edict for the succession of the fifth prince?"...
When Li Ran heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "This is absolutely impossible. Although I do intend to compete for the throne now, my father is unconscious and writing such an edict is an offense and a lie."
"Fifth Prince, at this time, there is no way to deceive the emperor, and there is no better way than this. Otherwise, would you just watch Prince Jing sit on that dragon chair?" Li Qian said, " You said you wanted to fight, but if you don’t fight now, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to fight again.”
"Li Hou, but..." Li Ran was speechless for a moment.
He really wasn't willing to watch Prince Jing sit in that position.
But if he really did this, it made him feel that he was usurping the throne just like Prince Jing.
How should he explain to his father when he wakes up?
"Fifth Prince, I know what you are thinking, but extraordinary times require extraordinary means. You just need to remember that you and Prince Jing are different." Li Qian said.
Li Ran couldn't help but mutter, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!"
Li Qian glanced at Wang Chun, who was somewhat silent.
"Eunuch Wang, do you think this method won't work?"
"Li Hou, of course the method is feasible, but how will our family explain it to the emperor when the time comes?" Wang Chun said.
"Eunuch Wang, we don't have much time. We have to wait until the emperor wakes up to explain. If you are afraid, just let me explain everything then." Li Qian said.
Wang Chun gritted his teeth, "Li Hou, our family is not afraid, but this matter is too big. But Li Hou is right, we don't have much time."
It's almost dawn, and we really can't wait any longer.
This great throne must be inherited by a prince, and the fifth prince is indeed a good candidate.
"Li Hou, I'm afraid an edict is not enough." Li Ran also figured it out. Li Hou was right. He and King Jing are different. In this case, he should have a good fight with King Jing.
"Of course an edict is not enough. Where is Uncle Cui Guo?" Li Qian asked.
Li Ran pointed to a carriage in the corner, "Still in the carriage."
Li Qian nodded, "After drafting the edict, you will enter the palace at dawn and try your best to deal with Prince Jing first. Leave the rest to me."
Li Ran didn't say anything else. After all, there were some things that no longer needed to be said.
Extraordinary times, extraordinary measures!
