Chapter 192.2

At the same time, in the Kunning Palace, Dai Wang asked Empress Wei, Have Noble Lady Li and Noble Lady Ying been dealt with?

Empress Wei was exhausted at this point, and her hands and feet were still a little cold. She sat leaning against the big kang, appearing somewhat traumatized. She couldnt help feeling a little complicated inside.

Of course, they have been dealt with. Keeping them around would only lead to more trouble.

Dont leave any traces behind. This is a critical moment, and we cant afford to make any mistakes. Dai Wang seemed somewhat uneasy as he repeated his previous words.

Empress Wei didnt particularly like this son of hers, but now that she had hopped on the pirate ship, she could only go with the flow. After being married to Emperor Hongjing for so many years, things had finally come to this point, making her heart bitter and unbearable. Dai Wangs lack of awareness and redundant words certainly didnt help. How could Empress Wei be in a good mood?

Bengong is not a child, and doesnt need you to teach me, she replied irritably.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Seeing that Empress Wei seemed a little displeased, Dai Wang hurriedly smiled and explained, Erchen is just afraid that something might go wrong. Please dont blame erchen, Mother Empress.

Empress Wei didnt blame Dai Wang. At this moment, she didnt have the time or mood for it. Speaking of mistakes, she couldnt help but think about what she had to do next and asked, Is this plan feasible? Why does bengong feel a little uneasy? After being with your Father Emperor for so many years, never could I have imagined it would come to this point.

By the end of her words, the expression on Empress Weis face became gloomy again.

Mother Empress, dont worry too much and dont blame yourself. Erchen knows that you and Father Emperor have a deep affection for each other, and its difficult for you to be indifferent at this moment. But Father Emperor has always been ambiguous in his attitude, and its clear that he leans towards Jin Wang. As this continues, it is inevitable Father Emeprors patience will be exhausted. When the court expressed they had no intentions of supporting benwang, this path became a one-way road.

So erchen discussed with maternal grandfather the current situation and concluded that the best strategy is to act first. You are the empress of the Central Palace, and erchen is the legitimate son. If anything happens to Father Emperor, these reasons alone are enough for the court officials to support me to ascend to the throne. As for what we are doing now, its just to make everything more legitimate. As long as we find the right opportunity, this matter is not difficult to accomplish. It can also avoid unnecessary suspicion and prevent others from making a fuss about it.

But in the end, he is still your father

The Dai Wang covered up the ridicule in his eyes. It was said that women were always emotional. She had personally handled the matter herself, yet now she was bringing up the relationship between husband and wife. It was simply

However, Dai Wang certainly wouldnt say these things out loud. He was still relying on Empress Wei so he could only patiently explain, Mother Empress, you should know that its not your fault. Although the medicine is harmful to the body, if Father Emperor hadnt neglected his health and favoured those twin sisters, things wouldnt have come to this point. Its all Father Emperors fault, so you dont have to blame yourself.

Hearing this, Empress Wei for the first time felt that what her second son said was in line with her own thoughts. Yes, she shouldnt blame herself. Everything should be blamed on him. If he had even held a little regard for her, how could things have come to this point?

No, in fact, he never had her in his heart, only that wicked woman Shen Luan! He sat and watched as the ministers demanded the crown prince be deposed just so he could leave the throne to the bastard son born by Shen Luan. She should have realized this long ago. She wouldnt have been forced to this point if she had realized this earlier.

The yellow pear wood bed was intricately carved with nine dragons and clouds and neatly covered with sheets and blankets. A little person lay on top, covered in a light yellow cloud brocade blanket. Feeling that someone was watching him, he rubbed his eyes and sat up.

Third imperial uncle, why arent you sleeping?

Dai Wang didnt expect this little thing to be so alert. He only glanced at him a few times, and he woke up.

Fourth imperial uncle is resting, and its third imperial uncles turn now. Are you going to the bathroom? Shall I call a eunuch for you?

Xiaobao shook his head repeatedly. Im not going to the bathroom. Third imperial uncle, you should rest earlier. Fourth imperial uncle is already sleeping.

Child, your fourth imperial uncle hasnt actually fallen asleep yet. Yong Wang was awake at the moment, but he was only pretending to sleep on the couch beside them.

Whoever could fall asleep in the current situation definitely had a brave heart. Who wasnt afraid that something would happen if they fell asleep? If Emperor Hongjing were to wake up during this time and left a word or something, their intestines would probably twist with regret.

For the sake of these possible, but groundless fears, the princes attended to their bedridden Father Emperor with utmost vigilance every day. They didnt even blink their eyes, enduring the whole day while pretending not to be tired.

The body may not be tired, but the heart was tired.

Xiaobao lay down again, and Dai Wang remained sitting on the circular chair facing the dragon bed. The hall once again returned to silence.

This kind of perpetual silence put a great test on peoples endurance and patience. Xiaobao, who had been bedridden for a long time in his previous life, wasnt foreign to this kind of silence, so he didnt feel that this period of waiting was difficult to endure. But for Dai Wang and others, it was quite the opposite. They not only had to attend to the emperors illness, but they also had to be vigilant at all times against their brothers potential schemes behind their backs.

In the seventh month of the thirty-fourth year of Emperor Hongjings reign, a storm was quietly gathering in the capital.

Everyone was waiting for the moment it would erupt.

Mini-theatre:

Emperor Hongjing: Those who do not know might think that a small wolf-dog was tied to the foot of my dragon bed.

Mianmian: You will get beaten if you talk like that. You should know that behind Xiaobao stand countless mother fans that even I am afraid. Do you dare to provoke them? (This is my first time featured in the small theater, and I feel really cute (==))
