Chapter 1216: Prince Li's Extra: His Intentions
The emperor did not appoint a crown prince, but everyone present knew that the eldest son of the empress had already been designated as the crown prince. The Empress Dowager had issued an imperial decree before going to Hanshan, and the education of the eldest son was in accordance with the rules of the crown prince.
So over the years, even if the emperor had not clearly appointed a crown prince, everyone knew that the eldest son would be the future crown prince.
The queen looked at the concubine who proposed to her, and her face became paler and paler. Although she had given up on Murong Zheng, she still rejected his death and even what would happen after his death.
"The emperor is still fine. It's not the time to discuss the crown prince. Now, we should find out the source of the emperor's poisoning and find an antidote."
When she spoke, the queen's voice was still trembling.
Even though he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband to her, he was still a good emperor and was very attentive to the education of the eldest son.
I thought I could abandon all this if I was cruel, but now I didn't expect that he would abandon them mother and son.
"Mother, please give this to the emperor." Murong Kai naturally saw the sadness in the queen's eyes, and slowly stepped forward and put the Ruyi Bottle into the queen's hands.
The queen looked down at the bottle in her hand, and looked at Murong Kai in some surprise. Murong Kai said softly: "Mother, it's the Ruyi Bottle."
The Ruyi Bottle is the national treasure of Bei'an. Just carrying the bottle can relieve a lot of poisons. The juice inside is even more precious. Even if it can't detoxify, it can relieve toxins and save lives.
The queen looked at Murong Kai in shock and didn't recover for a long time. Such a treasure, even if she, the queen, personally asked the emperor of Bei'an for it, the emperor of Bei'an would hesitate, but now, it appeared in Murong Kai's hands.
However, after the shock, the queen's heart was clearer. It must be that Ah Man gave the Ruyi Bottle to Murong Kai after knowing that the emperor was seriously ill.
That child really gave her too many shocks.
"Akai, if this Ruyi Bottle is used by your father, you will owe her a huge favor." The Queen spoke solemnly. Although she hoped that Murong Zheng could wake up, Murong Kai would have to pay the price.
"Mother, I am ready." Murong Kai said firmly. Before Ah Man told him that the liquid in the Ruyi Bottle could relieve the poison, he had already decided to join hands with her in this life. She gave him the Ruyi Bottle, and he gave her his whole life.
"Akai, what are you talking about? What preparations have you made? The Ruyi Bottle was given to you by Princess Jiaoyang of Bei'an, right? You have a good heart to save your father, but if the princess wants to take you away from Da Zhou and give you the title of a prince, are you willing?"
After knowing that it was Ah Man who gave Murong Kai the Ruyi Bottle, Concubine Jin was shocked, but after the shock, she was only in panic.
She was sure that if the liquid in the Ruyi Bottle was used by the emperor, her son would probably follow Princess Jiaoyang of Bei'an.
Murong Kai looked at Concubine Jin, with a faint smile on his face, but his words were straight to the heart: "Mother, do you mean that the life of the emperor is not as important as the rest of my life?"
"I didn't, how could I think so, I just felt..." Murong Kai was of course talking about Concubine Jin's thoughts. In Concubine Jin's heart, the life and death of the man she loved had nothing to do with her. What she cared about was her son, and she wanted her son to be well.
"Concubine Jin, you worry too much. If this Ruyi bottle saved the emperor's life, my Great Zhou would reward Princess Bei'an and Princess Jiaoyang. I just said those words to Akai just to let him know that someone is willing to give up his treasure for him. This friendship should be remembered in heart."
The queen saw that Concubine Jin was still insisting on letting Murong Kai and A Man draw a clear line at this time, and she was a little angry in her heart, and her words were also a bit sarcastic.
Concubine Jin was a smart person, and naturally knew what the queen meant. She wanted to explain, but she couldn't think of a good reason, so she could only watch awkwardly as the queen took the Ruyi bottle into the emperor's bedroom.
