He is now in his prime, so naturally he would not want to abdicate so early.
It is better to make a man who can't hold up the wall as the prince than to establish another one who is ambitious and threatens him more.
He just didn't expect that this sudden illness would turn his hair gray.
In the past few days, the emperor had pretended to be nonchalant, but whenever he thought about his illness in the dead of night, he would be deathly afraid of death.
This also made him more determined to get Feng Qingyan and let her treat him wholeheartedly.
"Does the Emperor feel better now?"
When Feng Qingyan saw that the fire was almost done, she stopped her hand.
"Much better. It's really a blessing for Nine Emperor Brother to marry you. It's a pity that I don't have such good luck."
After all this torment, the emperor lay weakly on the bed and said sour words.
It was obvious that he told Feng Qingyan on purpose.
Feng Qingyan wanted to laugh.
You have a harem of three thousand beauties, but you are not satisfied. In modern times, it would be difficult to find a wife for someone like you.
"The Emperor is the most powerful person in the world. His luck cannot be matched by others. If anyone gets angry in the future, the Emperor will punish him. Don't get angry again."
Feng Qingyan ignored what the emperor said and quietly changed the topic.
She did not forget the purpose of her visit and reminded the emperor in a subtle way.
"I understand."
The emperor's expression darkened.
He would never spare the prince this bastard lightly.
"Then your Majesty, rest well and take care of your dragon body. I will take my leave first."
Feng Qingyan chuckled.
I'm afraid that if the emperor is offended now, it will all fall on Xiao Jingyi.
Not long after Feng Qingyan left, the emperor issued an imperial decree and asked Eunuch Li to send her to the East Palace.
In addition, he wrote two more secret letters and asked his personal bodyguards to send them to Beiliang and South Vietnam respectively.
It looks like something big is going to happen.
Xiao Jingyi in the East Palace was worrying about how to solve Zhang Manman's matter when he heard the voice of Wang Gonggong coming from outside.
"The imperial edict has arrived. Prince Xiao Jingyi will receive it."
When Xiao Jingyi heard that there was an imperial edict, he suddenly felt bad.
Did the emperor discover something?
Are you going to depose him as the crown prince?
Xiao Jingyi knelt on the ground anxiously, waiting to receive the order.
"By God's blessing, the emperor Zhao said: The emperor's order is from heaven, and he will survive. The prince Xiao Jingyi is gentle and polite. It coincides with this year and the palace has no owner. Shi Xiangxiang, the daughter of Shi Zhongxian, the minister of marriage and punishment, is specially given to him. The Crown Princess also gives Sun Yingying, the daughter of the prison officer Sun Xiaoyi, as a side concubine, and they will get married together today. I appreciate this."
Because the emperor issued the edict in a hurry and looked very unhappy, the prince and his father-in-law did not know the content of the edict in advance.
Reading this imperial edict makes one's eyes light up.
Thinking of what Feng Qingyan said to the emperor, the prince almost burst out laughing.
The emperor has no brains like this.
"Is... getting married on the same day?"
Xiao Jingyi was dumbfounded.
He was still happy because it was originally an imperial edict granting marriage but not the deposed prince.
But these two marriages given to him by the emperor were too unusual.
The minister of the Department of Punishment is a third-rank official, and his official position is not too low, but this position, in this dynasty, is a place for torture.
It looks like that, but in fact, it has no strength at all.
Even the empress in the palace has no power to punish.
To put it bluntly, Shi Zhongxian was the leader who tortured the maids and eunuchs who had done wrong things in the palace.
If it's just this, forget it.
I heard that most of the punishment officials were forced into submission. Shi Zhongxian whipped the lower-ranking servants in the palace all the year round and was cursed and insulted by countless servants.
His eldest daughter Shi Xiangxiang was born with a black face and was extremely ugly, like the Shura from hell.
How many people said behind his back that he was cursed.
Let’s talk about Sun Xiaoyi, the supervisor and beheader.
The name of this official position sounds very powerful, but it is actually what the prisoner said on the sign he threw when he was beheaded at the Meridian Gate.
It was said by outsiders that Sun Xiaoyi had been killing people all year round and was contaminated with too much yin energy.
This resulted in his family's only daughter, Sun Yingying, being foolish and crazy all day long.
Of course Xiao Jingyi also knew these things, and his expression was really hard to describe.
Can he resist the decree?
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness, please accept the order."
The prince glanced at Xiao Jingyi with a sly smile.
Xiao Jingyi has received this great blessing.
"..."
Xiao Jingyi naturally did not dare to resist the order.
This imperial edict came really suddenly. Shen Liuli was imprisoned in Jingren Palace again. He didn't even have anyone with whom he could discuss it.
Xiao Jingyi wanted to die, but Shi Zhongxian, the minister of punishment, and Sun Xiaoyi, the supervisor, received the imperial edict as if they had won the Mark Six lottery.
Such a good thing can actually happen to them.
It's like smoke is coming out of the ancestral graves.
The two people couldn't help but kowtowed several times in the direction of the palace.
As soon as Feng Qingyan left the palace, she saw the carriage from the Ninth Prince's Palace waiting for her outside.
As soon as she got on the carriage, she saw Xiao Mingye drinking tea inside. He had already drank most of the tea, and he had obviously been waiting for a while.
Even though they said they wouldn't let him follow him, this man still came running.
"Didn't I say I wouldn't let you follow me?"
"I came to pick up Yan'er, and I didn't follow you. Did the Emperor pull any more tricks?"
Xiao Mingye smiled, pulled the person into his arms, and asked lovingly.
"It's not like you don't know the emperor's little tricks. I didn't give him a chance to take action."
Feng Qingyan said with a smile.
"I knew Yan'er was the best."
Xiao Mingye couldn't help but kiss Feng Qingyan's cheek, and the little hand holding her became restless.
"This is on the carriage, Mu Qing is still outside, don't mess around."
Feng Qingyan barely noticed Xiao Mingye's movements and pushed him away.
"Then I can mess around in the Ninth Prince's Mansion?"
Xiao Mingye smiled evilly.
"..."
Can this person have some face?
Nothing serious happened all day long.
In the middle of the night, Shen Liuli finally received the news.
"What? How could this happen? How could the emperor grant Yi'er a marriage for no reason?"
Shen Liuli frowned fiercely when she heard that the emperor had given Xiao Jingyi marriage to the two women.
Is this emperor crazy?
Don't you even care about the royal face?
“Stealing a chicken fails to end up losing a lot of rice, a hero fails to save a beautiful woman, but instead he is tricked by others, who can blame him?”
Wuming became more and more disappointed with Shen Liuli.
Sooner or later, she would have to push herself to a dead end.
"You...you know the ins and outs of the matter, why don't you help Yi'er?"
Shen Liuli was slightly dissatisfied.
Wuming had never treated her like this before.
"Has anyone told me your plan? When did you treat me as one of your own?"
Wuming smiled disdainfully.
"you……"
The Queen wanted to say something else, but now she had no confidence.
With her look like this, Xiao Jingyi is an Adou who cannot be helped, and the Duke's Palace has to protect itself.
In this predicament, Wuming could still be used to her advantage, and she didn't dare to go too far.
