Chapter 103 Near the west wind, so people's hearts are changeable (2)
In front of the bed, the servants kneeling on the ground, the imperial physicians were busy in front of the bed, the queen mother was crying and fainted on the chair with her chest on her hands, her temples were scattered and her face was pale, while Chu Hanlin held her tears in her eyes and cheered for her. The four maids served with water and patted their backs.

The corner of Yun Ziluo's mouth couldn't help but a sneer twitched away, and he lowered his face.

Today, she made some disguises, but presumably, she couldn't hide it from Chu Hanlin.

"How is the emperor?"

He Lianyi strode to the bed, Chu Hanlin let go of the hand that was stroking the queen mother's back, and walked over cautiously, the imperial doctors stepped aside one after another, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, but did not dare to speak more.

He Lianyi had already grasped the wrist by the bed, closed her eyes and meditated.

Under the bright daylight at the head of the bed, the golden curtain spread out layer by layer, revealing a pale face under the bright yellow brocade quilt, the emperor's lips were purple, his eyes were closed tightly, and he let Helian Yi hold his wrist On, suddenly twitched a few times.

Then, the slightly bent wrist suddenly slid straight down from the brocade quilt, the emperor kicked his legs, and there was no movement.

"The emperor is dead!"

The imperial physician behind him screamed miserably, and suddenly, there was a wail of mourning inside and outside the hall, and the sound shocked the entire palace.

"Ye'er, why did you go?" The queen mother cried out of breath, and all the important officials outside rushed in. Amidst the crying, Prime Minister Yao said: "My condolences to the queen mother, the majesty has gone, now I have to do it." The most important thing is to calm people's hearts and establish another prince, so as to avoid turmoil in the court and turmoil in people's hearts!"

When the queen mother heard this, she tremblingly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

He Lianyi calmly swept across the ministers present, and said in a low and clear voice: "The emperor ascended to heaven, leaving no sons and half heirs, and the first heir to the throne is the youngest son of the empress dowager - who was once crowned as the queen mother by the previous emperor." The fourth prince of King Chongzhou, the fourth prince is the empress dowager's son, and his succession to the throne is justified, do you have any objections?"

After he said a word, the surroundings were silent for a while.

The queen mother was stunned because she didn't expect it to go so smoothly, did the regent not force the palace at this juncture?She was ready to deal with it. Although he said these words, she still did not lower her vigilance.

Chu Hanlin's muscles also twitched slightly.

The expressions on the faces of the ministers were different, those of the Fourth Prince's party were surprised, and those who were loyal to the regent were shocked. If it hadn't been for the fact that Prime Minister Wei, who just proposed to set up another prince, is a loyal minister of the regent, they really thought It's the fourth prince's people deliberately making trouble!

At the same time, everyone in the Eighth Prince's party became anxious.

"My lord, the Eighth Prince is not in the palace now, will the matter of the crown prince be postponed?"

"Yes, my lord, the emperor has just left, and his bones are not yet cold. Isn't it inappropriate to appoint the crown prince so soon?"

He Lianyi coldly observed the expressions and reactions of the ministers, except for a few neutral ones, the other reactions were different. After a quick sweep, all of Chu Ziyuan's henchmen surfaced.

He raised his thick eyebrows, his face turned cold, and he shouted sharply: "Since ancient times, a country cannot be without a king for a day. The emperor suddenly let go, and the position of the monarch is vacant. Idea! Could it be that you are secretly forming a clique and want to usurp power and seek positions?!"

His stern words, coupled with his cold and cruel expression, frightened all the ministers to kneel as they lifted their robes: "I have no objection!"

The queen mother was so shocked by this huge surprise that she couldn't react for a long time. Chu Hanlin also went through the process from shock to calmness. He bent his knees, fell to his knees again, kowtowed three times to the dragon bed, and stood up. , his eyebrows darkened, facing the kneeling officials, he said loudly: "I will never let you down!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply, and all the officials hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look. They missed the deep smile on the corner of Helianyi's mouth. After a flash, he turned around and slowly knelt down for Chu Hanlin .

There was a sneer in the corner of Chu Hanlin's eyes, which disappeared in an instant. After he knelt down, he stretched out his hand to help him: "Regent, this king has not succeeded to the throne, so why do you need to perform such a grand ceremony! The regent will preside over everything."

The words are high-sounding, but in fact, although the emperor suddenly fell ill, he also made a very quick plan for tonight's preparations, but he did not expect the regent to make such a decision, so he followed him.

He Lianyi gave a "huh" and turned to the courtiers, "Just now this king said that the Fourth Prince would inherit the throne, and all the ministers agreed. In fact, this is not my king's idea, but the late emperor's idea."

The ministers below were a little surprised.

"Hold it up." He Lianyi called out in a deep voice.

The ghost knelt and held up a long box with the lid opened.

Everyone couldn't help looking up. He Lianyi waved his long sleeves and stretched out his hands, and there was a shining imperial edict.

Everyone's expressions changed, and now an imperial decree came out, I don't know what it was written in.

Then I heard Helianyi's steady and clear voice spread out through internal strength: "My dear friends, I know that I am weak and sick, and I am not far away from the time of immortality. If anything happens, my younger brother Han Lin will ascend the throne. I respect you !"

After reading it, he handed it to Prime Minister Wei, who was at the front, and said, "The first emperor wrote it in his own hand, and it is stamped with a jade seal. Take a look."

After seeing it, the officials confirmed that it was correct, and their faces became terrified.

It turned out that the emperor left an imperial decree long ago, but the regent did not take it out until now. It was just a test just now... The courtiers who did not make any changes were glad, but the courtiers who had just refuted it on the spot broke out in a cold sweat.

He Lianyi said slowly: "Since that's the case, Qing and the others will watch the night in the front hall tonight, and tomorrow morning we will discuss the affairs of the former emperor's death and the new emperor's ascension to the throne."

"Yes." Everyone retreated into the front hall one by one. In the inner hall, there was a burst of sobs from the servants. They had served the emperor the longest and had the deepest affection.

He Lianyi turned his head and glanced at Yun Ziluo, and said, "Queen Mother, you and Chu Jun should go down and have a rest first."

The Queen Mother happened to be tired from crying, and she had many questions at the moment, so she did not refuse, and returned to the side hall with Chu Hanlin.

The ghost has cleaned up the other side hall, and now invites He Lianyi and Yun Ziluo to go over.

In the Debian hall, He Lianyi took Yun Ziluo to the side of the soft couch first, asked her to sit down, and asked softly: "Have you been standing for a long time, are you tired?" Pinch it.

Yun Ziluo bit her lips and looked at him, her eyes were full of affection, and she asked hoarsely, "Yi, kneel down to Chu Hanlin, you must be very—"

She remembered that he said that all the people who made him kneel down were gone, or, in his eyes, they were already dead.

Before she could say the last two words, Helianyi lowered her head with a chill, interrupted her, and said coldly: "He will pay the price, my kneeling is not so pleasant!"

Yun Ziluo pursed her lips, and He Lianyi raised her eyes from her calf, reached out to support her chin, and said softly, "Luoer, the reward of eating the emperor, and being loyal to the emperor is not because I despise the imperial power. But this person is absolutely impossible to be Chu Hanlin."

As he spoke, a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

Chu Hanlin, the empress dowager, seemed to have had a bloody feud with him, but he was relatively kind to Chu Ziyuan. Although he also plotted against each other, he did not hate the empress dowager and Chu Hanlin as deeply.

After a while, Gui Xing came in, holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, and said, "This is the boiled bird's nest for the princess."

He Lianyi took it over, opened the dustproof bowl lid, and a gust of hot air filled the nostrils with the unique pure fragrance of bird's nest. Yun Ziluo felt that she was a little hungry. After pregnancy, she could eat a lot more than before. Even when the clouds are clear, I am not so hungry.

When she looked over impatiently, Helianyi smiled dotingly: "Hungry?"

Yun Ziluo stuck out her tongue.

"Don't worry, it's a little hot, drink it slowly." He Lianyi scooped up a spoon and blew on it, tested the temperature on the tip of his tongue before bringing it to her mouth.

"I'll do it myself." Yun Ziluo knew that this was not the Prince Regent's Mansion, there were many eunuchs standing outside, so she wanted to take the bowl.

"I'll feed you." He Lianyi stopped her with a smile on her brows.

Yun Ziluo's face flushed slightly, her pink lips held the spoon in her mouth, and swallowed the bird's nest, it was so sweet, and her lips were even wet and greasy.

Holding the bowl in one hand, He Lianyi suddenly pressed the back of her head with the other, tilted her face down, stuck out her tongue and licked her pink lips a few times, sucked once, and said in a low voice, "It's so sweet."

Yun Ziluo laughed "puchi".

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside: "Regent, it's not good!"

"What's so panicking?" The slender figure of the ghost appeared at the side of the palace gate, its ape arms stopped the little eunuch who rushed over.

Behind him, several guards reported loudly: "Go back to the Regent, I don't know who has spread the news of the emperor's death. Now the capital is in chaos. They were all transferred to the front of the palace to listen to the seal, and urgently asked the prince to send troops to suppress it."

He Lianyi held Yun Ziluo's waist with one hand, and held a silver-rimmed porcelain bowl with the other. Hearing this, his eyes moved slightly, but he was not surprised or angry. He ordered in a deep voice: "Take this king's token and order Jiucheng Soldiers and horses rushed to hunt down the rioters."

What he said was for the ghost, the ghost responded, and led a few guards to leave the side hall in a hurry. Run out after the ghost.

"Ghost shape." The regent called out, and the ghost shape flashed out from the shadow of the side hall: "What else does your lord want?"

"Leading the three teams of the Xiaoqi Battalion, under the banner of this king, went to the people's homes in Beijing to count the injuries and give some comfort."

The ghost shape responded and hurriedly withdrew.

Yun Ziluo watched his back disappear into the darkness in front of the steps, and said softly: "Is this also expected?"

"The Eight Kings Party will not be reconciled. They must have sent someone out to contact Chu Ziyuan who is far away in Donglin. If Chu Ziyuan has rebellious intentions, they will take action in the near future and will not stay in the capital. The chaos in the capital is also a way for them to divert their attention."

After a while, a secret guard came to report that a group of people broke into the Prince Regent's mansion and made trouble, but was calmed down by the old prince Helian.

He Lianyi sneered: "They will fish in troubled waters."

Yun Ziluo held his hand tightly, feeling very touched in his heart, presumably it was because he was worried about keeping her in the mansion, so he brought her into the palace, even if there may be greater danger in the palace, but in Under his nose, she will only be the safest.

It is inconvenient for Helian Yunqing to be brought in. Yun Ziluo is pregnant now, Helianyi will not let her bear the slightest threat, and Helianyi will let Helianzhi go to Lin Qingqing's guardian to add a layer of insurance.

In the side hall here, the Queen Mother and Chu Hanlin have been discussing for a while.

"No matter what the regent's idea is, as long as I become the emperor and control the hearts of the people, I will have an advantage in another fight than when I was the fourth prince." Chu Hanlin's eyes were cold and full of fear.

"Well, we must not relax for a moment. As long as we gain power and imprison Helianyi, forgive him for not daring to give Aijia an antidote!" The queen mother's eyes were full of poisonous flames, which was extremely frightening.

On the second day, the civil and military courtiers gathered in the Jinluan Hall, the regent asked Chu Hanlin to sit on the dragon chair inlaid with gold and jewels, read the decision of last night and the emperor's edict again, and ordered someone to pass the news It was officially distributed to the whole country, and the whole country mourned for three days.

Although Chu Hanlin has not formally succeeded to the throne, he is still the crown prince, but all the officials have changed their names to the emperor, and he also put up his airs, no longer saying "I" but "Zhen", sitting in the seat On the high dragon chair, looking at the black crows and crowds of heads below, he let out a long breath.
