Chapter 1220 Prince Li's Extra Conditions

Several princes were talking about the imperial edict in their hands, but the concubines standing not far from them were already in a panic.

With the Empress Dowager, the Great Zhou royal family would not have a tragedy of fratricide, but if Murong Jie ascended the throne, Concubine Dong would become the Empress Dowager, then they...

Compared to Murong Jie, they hoped that the Queen's eldest prince could ascend the throne.

But this imperial edict...

"Princes, please accept the edict quickly. I have to go to Qingliang Palace to pick up Concubine Dong." Seeing the princes' panic, Eunuch Wan said proudly.

"The emperor's imperial edict is to pass the throne to the fourth prince, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Dong. Why did the eunuch pick up Dong from Qingliang Palace? The emperor didn't leave an imperial edict a long time ago, right?" One of the concubines who was not on good terms with Concubine Dong couldn't help but say.

This concubine's words made the surrounding discussion louder. The emperor issued such an imperial edict at a critical moment, which was enough to make people suspicious. Why did he even release Concubine Dong?

"A mother is honored by her son. Now the emperor has already... When the fourth prince takes the throne, he will still release Concubine Dong. It's only a matter of time. Do you think the servants of Qingliang Palace will stop me?" After hearing what the concubine said, Eunuch Wan's face changed. He thought for a moment before explaining.

"We already know the imperial edict of our father. Eunuch Wan should go and do his own thing." The eldest prince looked at his brothers and sisters who were in a panic and ordered Eunuch Wan.

Eunuch Wan naturally didn't want to stay here any longer. He left in a hurry with the two eunuchs behind him.

He was now going to find Concubine Dong to ask for credit. He himself didn't expect that the matter of conveying the edict would go so smoothly.

"Brother, what should we do? There must be something wrong with this imperial edict. It is possible that Dong deceived our father to write it."

After seeing the imperial edict, no one present doubted the authenticity of the imperial edict, because Murong Zheng had been obedient to Concubine Dong over the years. If Concubine Dong didn't want to do something, as long as she begged a few times, our father would be soft-hearted.

Although Concubine Dong never expressed her opinion on the matter of the crown prince, her attitude towards the eldest and third princes showed that she had already decided to let her son be the emperor.

"Wait until father wakes up. The liquid medicine in the Ruyi bottle cannot fail to work." Seeing the eagerness on the eldest prince's face, Murong Kai reminded him softly.

No matter under what circumstances the father wrote this imperial edict, the ownership of the throne has been determined at this moment. Moreover, the father is in danger now, and it is really not the time for them to pay attention to the ownership of the throne.

After listening to Murong Kai's words, the concubines and princes also came back to their senses and quietly waited outside the palace. Only Murong Jie, after reading the imperial edict, obediently retreated outside the crowd and knelt obediently. No one noticed his pale face, and no one noticed that his body was shaking.

The outside of the bedroom was calm again, but Murong Jie slowly stood up and knelt beside the eldest prince again. He tried to hold his head high, but he still looked like a teenager, without the calmness and competence of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince glanced at Murong Jie, but in the end, he still didn't say anything.

"Brother, if my father passes the throne to me, I will also hand it over to you. I only ask you to spare my mother's life when the time comes."

Murong Jie's words were very solemn, and those who heard his words were shocked.

Giving up the throne to others? Is Murong Jie stupid? Only the eldest prince still looked calm, but he didn't respond for a long time.

"Brother, please, fulfill my brother's filial piety." Seeing that the eldest prince didn't speak, Murong Jie's face was full of anxiety.

He now urgently needs a guarantee from his eldest brother. This time, his mother made a mistake and committed a fatal crime.
