Chapter 317 Emperor Wen Becomes a Puppet
Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue broke into Emperor Wen's bedroom without any hesitation.
They were surprised to find that after just a few days of not seeing Emperor Wen, he had become like a walking corpse, as if he had lost the vitality.
Emperor Wen's eyes were empty and lifeless as he stared straight at Jin Xiaohe in front of him.
Jin Xiaohe lit a censer of incense with an expressionless face, and curls of green smoke filled the air. Emperor Wen greedily took two sips of the fragrance and then fell into a coma.
Luo Lingyue quickly covered Xiao Jinghan's mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and then signaled him with her eyes to leave. After Xiao Jinghan understood her intention, he followed her and quickly left the palace.
Only when they were far away from the palace did Xiao Jinghan dare to take off the handkerchief covering his mouth and nose. He asked with lingering fear: "Is this incense poisonous?"
Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows and replied, "This method must have been thought up by Chu Chengli! Now Jin Xiaohe has become a medicine man. As long as someone comes into close contact with her, the toxin will enter the body through the body, and this fragrance can control the person's consciousness. Now Emperor Wen has basically been controlled by them!"
After hearing this, Xiao Jinghan frowned and said worriedly, "You mean, if the crown prince asks Emperor Wen to abdicate, then Emperor Wen will obey his orders?"
Luo Lingyue nodded slightly, indicating her agreement: "In principle, this is true, but with Chu Chengli's cautious and prudent personality, he will definitely take all of Emperor Wen's military power into his hands first."
Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but look anxious, and hurriedly said: "Then, I will contact all the ministers tomorrow and make the Crown Prince and Jin Xiaohe's sinister plot public!"
Luo Lingyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Be patient! I was just worried that I couldn't force Chu Chengli to rebel, but I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to bring the opportunity to me!"
Then, she leaned close to Xiao Jinghan's ear and whispered a few words softly.
After hearing this, Xiao Jinghan nodded and praised: "This is a great idea!"
Another day passed, and as expected, Emperor Wen handed over the military power of several states in Dazhao to the prince!
Although the generals were dissatisfied, who dared to object to His Majesty's order?
It was a dark and windy day, and Luo Lingyue transformed into Dark Moon Fairy. She easily entered Emperor Wen's palace and shot a small pill into the incense burner.
At midnight, Jin Xiaohe lit the tea incense in the incense burner as usual.
A wisp of incense floated out from the incense burner. Jin Xiaohe did not notice that the strange fragrance was mixed with the scent of medicine, nor did she realize that Emperor Wen's eyes, which had been empty and lifeless, had become a little clearer.
"Cough cough..." Emperor Wen suddenly started coughing, his voice a little hoarse.
Jin Xiaohe hurried to the bedside and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Emperor Wen looked at Jin Xiaohe, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and confusion, as if he was unfamiliar with the person in front of him. He tried hard to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he could only make a few unclear sounds.
Jin Xiaohe was shocked. She had never seen Emperor Wen like this before. She thought that Emperor Wen was just feeling unwell, so she gently stroked his chest, trying to make him feel better. However, Emperor Wen's reaction surprised her even more.
Emperor Wen grabbed Jin Xiaohe's hand and held it tightly, his eyes full of fear and anxiety. He struggled hard to break free from Jin Xiaohe's restraints, but his body was too weak to support his own weight.
Jin Xiaohe screamed in fear, and she tried desperately to break free from Emperor Wen's hand, but Emperor Wen's strength was extremely strong. Her heartbeat accelerated, her breathing became rapid, and she didn't know how to deal with this situation.
Jin Xiaohe's scream attracted the palace maid. The palace maid looked at Emperor Wen sinisterly and chopped him unconscious with a palm knife.
The palace maid hurried to the East Palace to look for the crown prince Chu Chengli. After seeing Chu Chengli, she lowered her head and said anxiously, "Your Highness! Emperor Wen suddenly woke up tonight for some reason. I wonder if the medicine has lost its effect!"
Chu Chengli's eyes darkened instantly. He stared at the maid with a cold look in his eyes. He vowed to control Emperor Wen. He ordered, "Immediately ask Jin Xiaohe to increase the dosage of the medicine. Make sure Emperor Wen cannot wake up again. As long as the old man is not dead, it will be fine! Also, have you found the imperial seal?"
The palace maid looked a little unhappy. She bowed her head and replied, "Your Highness, I have not found the jade seal yet. But I have found Nan Yi's tiger talisman!"
Chu Chengli frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in his eyes. He originally thought he could get the jade seal from Emperor Wen, but he only got the tiger talisman.
The palace maid tremblingly took out a heavy tiger talisman from her bosom and handed it to Chu Chengli. A trace of greed and complacency flashed in Chu Chengli's eyes, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Luo Lingyue! Xiao Jinghan! This prince will make you have nowhere to go! The military power of Nanyi, haha! They never dreamed that the tiger talisman handed over to Emperor Wen would eventually fall into the hands of this prince!" He held the tiger talisman tightly, as if he had already grasped the power of the world.
Dark Moon Fairy stood aside, looking at Chu Chengli's arrogant look, and couldn't help twitching her eyes. She sneered in her heart, Chu Chengli is digging his own grave!
The King of Qin and the Luo family army acted quickly in Beiliu. They demonstrated strong strength and efficient execution, and quickly subdued the rebels who tried to force the palace.
These rebels originally thought that they could easily overthrow the existing regime, but faced with the resolute resistance of King Qin and the Luo family army, they ultimately failed.
The emperor and the crown prince of Beiliu were also in trouble. Due to the long-term war and political turmoil, their bodies could no longer withstand such pressure. Soon, the emperor and the crown prince were on their deathbed.
At this critical moment, the emperor made an important decision: he would pass the throne to the little princess Duanmu Qin! This move attracted widespread attention and discussion inside and outside the court.
Many people were surprised by this decision because the little princess was still young and lacked experience and ability to rule. However, some people believed that the little princess represented new hope and the future, and she might bring new changes and developments.
In this transfer of power, all parties are closely watching the development of the situation. Some people support the little princess to succeed to the throne, hoping that she can lead the country to prosperity; while others have ulterior motives and try to use this opportunity to seek personal gain.
Princess Duanmu Qin faces huge challenges and pressures. She needs to adapt to this new role as soon as possible and show enough leadership to stabilize the national situation. At the same time, she also needs to deal with various forces to ensure that her position is stable.
At this time full of uncertainties, Duanmu Qin's fate has become the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone is looking forward to whether she can successfully take over the throne, lead Beiliu out of the predicament, and realize the revival of the country.
