Chapter 362: The Change of Seizing the Palace (2)

"The edict to pass the throne?" Emperor Chengzhen poked out a hand from the brocade quilt, pressed his finger heavily on his eyebrows, and murmured in confusion, "Have I said I would write an edict?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Cao said calmly: "Yes, you specially ordered the slave to prepare it. You may be confused when you sleep, so you forgot it for a while."

Emperor Chengzhen frowned, and the lines on his eyebrows were tightly clumped under his fingertips and refused to dissipate. He thought hard, but he couldn't think of whether he had really ordered the Eunuch Cao. Immediately, he felt that the things in front of him seemed a little strange, but what was the strange thing?

He just wanted to continue thinking deeper, and then he felt a violent pain in his head. The pain made him shrink his fingers back from his forehead and gritted his teeth and shouted, "Oh, my headache..."

If you are poisoned, you will naturally have a headache.

Eunuch Cao thought to himself, but his body fell down. He gently helped Emperor Chengzhen up with his hands, letting him sit on the soft pillow with gold thread, and unexpectedly, his slender and soft fingers as white as a woman, gently pressed on Emperor Chengzhen's forehead, and said almost as temptingly: "Your Majesty, you are sick."

"Yes... My body is not as good as before..." Perhaps because of the hands of Eunuch Cao's hand pressing the place and force, Emperor Chengzhen's gritted teeth gradually loosened a little, and the corners of his eyes slowly appeared a gentle look. He sighed, "Babao, isn't my memory good enough?"

"Things are not there, you, today I'm just sleeping confused."

After hearing this, Emperor Chengzhen waved his hand and let him not continue to massage. He said in a deep voice: "I know my body. I have the edict... Are you ready for everything?"

Eunuch Cao took a step back and said, "Yes, all the servants are ready."

"Well, help me up." Emperor Chengzhen endured the sudden headache, forcibly supported himself and ordered.

Eunuch Cao slowly put on his clothes, helped him get out of bed, put on bright yellow Shu brocade cloud shoes, and helped him walk to the table.

After sitting down, Emperor Chengzhen seemed to suddenly wake up. After a puzzled "Huh" sounded, he looked up at Eunuch Cao and asked, "Why don't you go to the Imperial Study?"

Eunuch Cao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why have you forgotten? You have not ordered a servant. When you are in bad health, don't send you outside to see someone. If you want to go to the imperial study room, wouldn't you have to show off your current appearance?"

This is really what I said.

Emperor Chengzhen listened and thought of it, and the vague doubt in his heart dissipated a little.

How could he know that his illness had already spread throughout the court and the public. Everyone knew that he was so sick that he could not even attend the court, and could not even review the memorials. But at this moment, the fifth prince who should have served him was led away.

Rong Fan is a good chess move.

He has always been a good chess piece in Emperor Chengzhen's hand, so this time, no one of them thought of destroying Rong Fan before things were done. Although, without Rong Fan, Emperor Chengzhen seemed to have less help. But if he could keep him and use him for his own use, things might become very different.

So they had previously intercepted the news that Rong Fan was going to deliver to Emperor Chengzhen, but they did not directly let the two of them break up, or eliminate Rong Fan from then on. Instead, they chose to use the identity of Emperor Chengzhen to hand over the fake news to Rong Fan.

Therefore, today, the fifth prince was called away by Rong Fan.

They are going to discuss major events today.

Of course, what this matter is not that important. Because they quietly drew a big cake for Rong Fan. They could even make him Duke Rong without even waiting for the matter to be completed. Although the title of Duke Rong is not very useful, the so-called noble family also scores in all the points. But who made Rong Fan a child who was born in a vain? As long as he gave him such a "big cake", he would continue to work for Emperor Chengzhen wholeheartedly.

And as long as this is the case, it will be enough for Ye Kui and Pei Changge.

The fifth prince was led out of the palace by Rong Fan, and it became safer and easier for the Eunuch Cao to deceive the confused Emperor Chengzhen to write the edict to pass the throne.

Although they still had to go to the worst step in the end, if the Thirteenth Prince was able to do a steady job of the throne, this edict for passing the throne was necessary. Moreover, the handwriting on it must be written by Emperor Chengzhen. Of course, they might also be able to find someone to imitate Emperor Chengzhen's handwriting and write the edict they were looking forward to. But since Emperor Chengzhen could write it himself, why bother thinking about any other way?

"Emperor." Eunuch Cao handed the pen dipped in cinnabar to Emperor Chengzhen's hand and called softly.

Emperor Chengzhen's somewhat chaotic eyes became a little clearer when he heard the sound, but soon became confused again.

Holding the pen, he frowned, stared at the blank edict, and said, "Why don't I remember what I'm going to write?"

He just felt that his memory was not good enough, so he didn't think that he was poisoned.

During the simplicity, everything he ate and used around him was used by Eunuch Cao personally. So no matter which of these things is wrong, Eunuch Cao should have been hit before him.

Therefore, Emperor Chengzhen would never think of things to Eunuch Cao.

Therefore, Ye Kui and Pei Changge thought that they had to take down Eunuch Cao.

With this person, many things become easier invisibly.

"Your Majesty, you are not going to pass the throne to..." Eunuch Cao said halfway, but did not continue.

Emperor Chengzhen was in a daze and immediately asked, "Who do I want to pass the throne to?"

Of course, he was not asking Eunuch Cao, but muttering to himself. But at this moment, how could he give himself a positive answer? All he could think of was a large area, a large area of ​​blank space. If it weren't for the blank space, it would be a ball of black.

Apart from this distinct black and white, his mind seemed to be empty, and it seemed that a "Peng Peng" sound could be made with a knock.

"Why can't I remember it? Why can't I remember it at all?" Emperor Chengzhen tried to think about it, and immediately felt a splitting headache, and his mind trembled. He couldn't help but feel scared, "What happened? Why can't I remember it at all?"

At the end of his murmuring, his voice changed a little.

Eunuch Cao looked coldly, thinking in his mind that after taking the poison for so many days, the toxins accumulated to this level, he could not think of what he really meant in his heart no matter what.

However, Emperor Chengzhen was still a good person the day before yesterday, but today he became like this, which is really touching.

Eunuch Cao has served him for decades, but now that he sees his appearance, he really feels a little pity from his heart.

Once upon a time, the person in front of him who was now pityed by him as an ant was so high and in a place that they were out of reach. As Eunuch Cao thought, the pity in his heart suddenly felt half-explained.

So what if he is a eunuch? In the end, didn’t he even get the emperor’s woman into his hands?

Eunuch Cao's eyes were slightly cold, and he pressed on Emperor Chengzhen's shoulder, stabilized his gradually trembling body, and said, "Emperor, think about it carefully. Didn't you say that the one you like the most among the many princes is the Thirteenth Prince? You often say that the Thirteenth Prince is a good-nature and smart person, and is the most like when you were a child."

"Thirteen?" Emperor Chengzhen murmured and repeated the words of Eunuch Cao, "He has a good temperament and is smart, just like when I was a child?"

After saying that, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said with certainty: "Yes, that child Thirteen is good, he is a good seedling. I had thought about him before."

After he finished speaking, he started to write words as he held his pen.

With one stroke and one stroke, the word "cross" was written in a short while.

But when he finished writing this word, he seemed to be possessed, and the pen he held in his hand suddenly stopped, and he seemed to have no way to continue writing down.

He said in confusion: "Thirteen...Old Ten..."

Eunuch Cao, who was standing aside and staring at his movements and expressions, immediately realized that something was wrong. He was afraid that Emperor Chengzhen would think of something at this moment, so he hurriedly grabbed Emperor Chengzhen's hand and said, "Emperor, the Thirteenth Prince is sure that it's time to see you."

It was extremely extraordinary for a eunuch to dare to catch the emperor's hand, but Emperor Chengzhen seemed to be unable to figure out what he was doing, so he would not notice these things.

When Emperor Cao heard the Eunuch Cao constantly talk about the Thirteenth Prince, Emperor Chengzhen, who was in a semi-confused state, did not doubt anything. Instead, he felt that he had forgotten who he wanted to write again. He now continued to write after the word "Ten" - the Third Prince Fengli...

It is reported to be located in Fengli, the Thirteenth Prince.

Eunuch Cao looked at the words above and read them silently in his heart, and finally felt relieved.

When Emperor Chengzhen finished writing the edict, he took the jade seal. Emperor Chengzhen took it and yawned. Perhaps because he felt sleepy, he didn't even hesitate and quickly stamped a seal on the edict.

Eunuch Cao sent him back to the bed and then put the edict away.

All of this is not very different except that the name of the tenth prince is not written in the edict but the thirteenth prince. Therefore, everything must be followed in accordance with the rules that were originally available.

This edict was not until the moment when the throne of the Thirteenth Prince was finally questioned by everyone.

But the edict was still ready from the beginning.

When the news that everything was ready reached Ye Kui's ears, she was drinking a bowl of soup specially made by Chi Po. When she heard the news, she put down the spoon, smiled, stared at the soup and said softly to herself: "If the emperor wakes up one day, I don't know if he will be angry to death immediately..."
