Chapter 1219: Prince Li’s Extra: The Imperial Decree of Succession

Murong Zheng thought that Concubine Dong was angry with him for leaving her in the Qingliang Palace for a few days without paying any attention to her, so she did something wrong and poisoned herself.

However, the imperial physician could cure ordinary poisons, but he did not expect that he would need to use the Ruyi Bottle.

Where did she get such poison from as a woman in the deep palace? Did she really want to take her own life?

No, it was impossible. She did not even care about her own life for her own sake. How could she do such a thing?

Murong Zheng instinctively denied it in his heart, but after denying it, his panic became even greater.

The facts were in front of him, everything was obvious, and he could not even deceive himself.

"Go tell the queen not to let the news of my detoxification spread. You too, if the news spreads, you will die."

As soon as Murong Zheng finished speaking, the imperial physicians in the bedroom knelt down obediently, and a clever eunuch turned around to chase the queen.

After leaving Murong Zheng's bedroom, the queen hurried back to her Fengqi Palace. Since the emperor had been blinded by lust, she felt that everything she did was in vain. Simply, even the Queen's accusations were thrown away, and he lived a carefree life as planned before.

At least, he would not be sad.

After the eunuch caught up with the Queen and told her what the Emperor meant, the Queen only smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I will never spread his affairs. His life and death have nothing to do with me in the future."

After the Queen finished speaking, she continued to walk quickly towards the Qifeng Palace. The eunuch left behind by her was embarrassed. How could he tell the Emperor about the Queen's heartless words? If the Emperor got angry, would he vent his anger on her...

The eunuch returned to the Emperor's bedroom trembling with fear. Fortunately, the Emperor was lying quietly on the bed, looking like he had been poisoned and had not yet woken up.

The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, but the people outside the palace were anxious. Just now, the Queen left with a gloomy face and asked the Emperor how he was, but she shook her head, which made them intuitively feel that the Emperor was not well.

They waited anxiously for the doctor to come out of the palace. They could ask about the emperor's health, but the doctors were all in the hall, and no one had come out for a long time.

The emperor's bedroom, except for the queen, could not be entered without a summons.

They could only wait anxiously, waiting for the good news that the emperor had recovered from the poison, but they did not expect that the news about the emperor had not arrived, but the imperial edict about the crown prince had been brought.

The one who brought the imperial edict was the young eunuch who served Concubine Dong. At this time, he was no longer as cautious as he was a few days ago. He looked at the concubines and princes outside the hall with a haughty attitude and said, "The emperor wrote an imperial edict before he was poisoned. After his death, the third prince Murong Jie will inherit the throne."

The young eunuch did not even open the imperial edict, but just said it briefly.

"Eunuch Wan, are you here to announce your father's oral order or the imperial edict?" The eldest prince looked up at Eunuch Wan and asked softly.

"Your Highness, words are not enough. I have brought the emperor's edict. Do you want me to read it out in public, or..."

"Give it to you." Before Eunuch Wan finished speaking, Murong Kai had already stretched out his hand to him. Eunuch Wan wanted to take it, but he didn't expect that Murong Kai's wheelchair moved forward while he was speaking. When he finished speaking, the edict had already fallen into Murong Kai's hands.

Murong Kai turned the wheelchair and handed the edict to the eldest prince. Several princes came to the eldest prince with him and looked at the handwriting on the edict.

"It's my father's handwriting, and there's no problem with the seal." Even if they didn't believe the authenticity of the edict, looking at the edict in their hands at this moment, they could only admit this fact.

"Impossible, how could my father pass the throne to the fourth child? My father..."

"We have to think about this matter carefully..."
