Chapter 522 Succession

Zhao Yuanzhen broke down emotionally and became a little crazy.

Zhao Yuanjing then ordered someone to send him back to Jinwang Mansion.

So far, with the joint efforts of the prince and King Qin, King Cheng's rebellion was quelled.

King Cheng was seriously injured and unconscious, and was locked in a cell.

The next step is the post-war liquidation, dealing with the affairs of the palace, and most importantly, the emperor's funeral.

Things were complicated, Zhao Yuanjing hadn't slept for several days, couldn't eat well, and was injured, when he saw King Qin, he only had time to ask him to inform Yun Dai before he passed out.

Zhao Shu was very nervous, so he hurriedly sent someone to call Imperial Physician Meng.

The emperor passed away, and there was only such a successor prince, if something went wrong, it would be troublesome.

Fortunately, after the doctor's diagnosis, Doctor Meng only said that he was too tired, and the injury was not treated in time, so he couldn't hold on.

Zhao Shu asked, "Is the injury all right?"

Doctor Meng said: "Supposedly, this injury is not serious. If it was treated in time at that time, it would not cause any serious problems. But after a day, the wound has festered, which is a bit serious. The festered flesh must be dealt with first, and then Then apply the medicine and wait for the wound to heal slowly. At least half a month in bed to heal.”

Zhao Shu felt relieved, and said, "Since that's the case, please ask Imperial Physician Meng to treat him with all his heart."

"This is the job of a subordinate official, don't worry, my lord." Doctor Meng went to prepare medicine and treat Zhao Yuanjing's wound.

Zhao Shu went to see the Queen Mother first.

The queen mother heard that King Cheng was arrested, and before she had time to be happy, she heard that the prince was injured, which added another layer of worry.

"Fortunately, Shu'er, you came back in time." The Queen Mother sighed, "Otherwise, this time, the traitor King Cheng will really succeed. It's just your brother's injustice..."

The queen mother's eyes were red, and tears rolled out.

"Queen Mother, don't be too sad, you hurt yourself from crying." Zhou Yizhi said softly.

She has changed back to her women's attire, which is still the Hu suit she is most used to on weekdays.

It's just that when facing Zhao Shu, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

But her admiration for the King of Qin was more of admiration than that of a man and a woman. So I didn't feel embarrassed, and I was able to face each other calmly.

"It's been hard for you to take care of the Queen Mother these few days." Zhao Shu said to her.

Zhou Yizhi lowered her eyes, then raised her eyes bravely, and said, "It was His Highness the Crown Prince who said that as long as I can protect the Empress Dowager, he will give me a chance."

"What chance?" Zhao Shu asked curiously.

Zhou Yizhi drew the golden knife from his waist and said, "This is given to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Shu recognized the dagger, it was a tribute from the emperor's brother to the prince, it was very precious.

Unexpectedly, it was given to this woman.

Zhao Shu said: "It means that you are very good, and you did not embarrass your Zhou family."

Zhou Yizhi was proud in her heart, and wanted to ask him to take her into the barracks, but seeing his handsome and stern face, and thinking that he had thrown her out of the palace ruthlessly, she dared not speak.

The queen mother calmed down, and said slowly: "The country cannot live without a king, Shu'er, take out the jade seal and the edict, and let the prince succeed to the throne."

Zhao Shu said: "Yuan Jing's injuries are still serious, and he can't get out of bed for the time being."

"The enthronement ceremony can be held after he recovers from his injuries, but he has to succeed to the throne first, so as to appease the inside and outside, and frighten Xiaoxiao. Do you understand what Aijia means?" The Queen Mother's tone was very majestic.

"I understand." Zhao Shu said, "I will, as the King of Qin, read out the imperial edict to the courtiers and the world."
