Chapter 1552: Imperial Decree of Succession

Lianyi nodded slightly and said:

"After my daughter received the news that you were poisoned, she rushed back day and night. What do you want your daughter to do?"

Emperor Qian looked at his daughter, whom he had not seen for ten years, with a complicated look in his eyes. The once immature daughter had grown into a queen in her own right, even doing better than his father.

Emperor Qian closed his eyes and briefly collected his thoughts. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with energy. He took a deep breath and said:

"Anping, now that you're back, are you ready?"

Lianyi raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Emperor Qian was not an old fool. He knew that the purpose of her coming back at this time was that she was a thousand-year-old fox. There was no need to pretend. She raised her eyes and looked into Emperor Qian's eyes and said:

"Father, once my daughter comes back, she is ready to clean up the mess. I believe you know better than anyone else whether your daughter has the qualifications and ability to sit in that position."

"Where's Luo Panguo?"

"Merge into Daqian."

"I don't have much time. I will go to court tomorrow and personally issue the decree to pass the throne to you and clear the way for you."

Emperor Qian said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Father."

Lianyi bowed and saluted, then took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a brown pill the size of a baby's fingernail, and placed it in Emperor Qian's hand:

"Father, these are the detoxification pills specially prepared by Imperial Physician Jinwu who is by your daughter's side. Although they cannot detoxify you, they can make you feel more comfortable and give you enough energy to deal with the remaining matters."

Emperor Qian nodded, took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation. He knew his situation very well. The Queen really wanted to kill him, so the poison was incurable.

The people at Tai Hospital have tried their best to hang him alive. As for how long he can survive, it all depends on God's will. If Concubine Rong wants her son to be in power, she must wait for him to issue an order to remove all the military talismans and royal guards in his hands. It was left in her son's hands, so she couldn't and didn't dare use force.

Because of the stalemate between the two sides, Lianyi was given time to rush back.

When Emperor Qian figured out the cause after being poisoned, he already made a decision in his heart. His throne could only be passed on to his daughter Anping.

In addition to his daughter's ability and contribution to the stability of Daqian, he knew very well that he had already given up his daughter once for Daqian. If he wanted to repeat his old tricks this time and let his daughter assist his favorite heir, his daughter would definitely Will resist, and among all his adult sons now, no one is Anping's opponent.

If Anping was angered, not only would it be difficult for Da Gan, but also for his son. Especially when he saw his daughter again, he was even more determined in his decision.

After Lianyi saw that Emperor Qian's complexion improved, he left the palace quietly.

"Dark Armor!"

Gandi called out into the darkness.

The next moment, a black figure silently landed in front of Emperor Qian's bed, knelt on one knee and asked:

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Can you get close to Anping? I want you to follow her secretly these two days, protect her and at the same time observe her carefully."

Emperor Qian's voice became much softer because of his daughter's return.

"Your Majesty, there are experts beside the princess, and the dark armor cannot get close!

When she left just now, the people around the princess glanced at the hiding place of her subordinates. "

Anjia told the truth, they are all masters, and they can tell how many kilos they have just by looking at them.

"Anping has grown to this extent."

Emperor Qian sighed, and finally waved his hand for An Jia to retreat. He closed his eyes and began to sort out what to do next.

Ripple returned to the residence prepared by his men in advance and said to the sundial beside him:

"You send a message to Fulin tomorrow and ask him to take people to the city gate to greet me."

"Yes, Queen."

"Are you familiar with the secret guards around your father?"

Ripple suddenly asked.

Sundial nodded and said:

"Familiar, he was chosen from the same batch as me, but Your Majesty gave me to the princess."

"How strong are they?"

"Not beneath me."

Lianyi had a rough understanding of the strength of the royal secret guards, so he let everyone rest first. After all, people who traveled all night could not bear it.

On the second day, after resting, Lianyi quietly left the city, got on the carriage that had been prepared in advance, and then entered the imperial city with great fanfare.

After receiving the news from the secret guard, Emperor Qian ordered Laifu to change his clothes because he wanted to go to court.

Laifu looked at Emperor Qian who was in good spirits, and felt frightened for no reason. He was afraid that the emperor was having a comeback.

Emperor Qian glanced at Laifu, who even lost his smile, and said angrily:

"Okay, don't cry in despair, I'm not dead yet!"

"Your Majesty, you can't say that about yourself. You will definitely be fine."

What else could Laifu say? He personally stepped forward to change Emperor Qian's clothes, and at the same time ordered the eunuch beside him to send a message announcing that the courtiers had entered the palace to attend court.

Because Emperor Qian had health problems and had been out of court for almost half a month, the situation in the imperial city was so tense. Now that Emperor Qian can go to court, at least some people will be dispelled, especially since Princess Anping has already When arriving in the capital.

Lianyi had reached a consensus with Emperor Qian, so after entering the capital, her carriage went straight to the palace. The person who came to greet her was Eunuch Laifu. Emperor Qian gave her enough face.

After Lianyi slowly entered the Qinzheng Hall, he also saluted Emperor Qian and showed the same respect in return.

"Anping, you have worked hard these past ten years."

Emperor Qian personally helped Lianyi up and said in a kind tone.

"It's not hard work, it's the right thing to do to share your father's worries."

Lian Yi also said modestly.

The court officials looked at each other in bewilderment at the scene of a loving father and a filial daughter, wondering what the emperor was up to.

Lian Yi sat down beside the emperor's throne, glanced at the ministers standing below, and met the eyes of the third prince. She saw the hostility in his eyes, and she did not stop at all, but just glanced at the ministers in the court. These people's attitude towards Lian Yi was much better, and they bowed slightly as a greeting.

"Lai Fu, announce the decree!"

The emperor said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lai Fu also looked serious and unfolded the bright yellow scroll in his hand:

"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Empress Nangong poisoned the Emperor for her own selfish reasons."

The general meaning of the imperial edict is that the Empress poisoned Emperor Qian in order to let her son ascend to the throne, which injured Emperor Qian's dragon body. Now she is demoted to a commoner and expelled from the palace. Qian Zhaoning is stripped of his title of crown prince and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum to atone for his mother's sins, losing the qualification to inherit the throne.

After the edict was read out, the happiest people were the third prince and the people behind him, but everyone was still restrained, after all, the edict of succession had not yet been issued.

After Emperor Qian waited for Lai Fu to finish reading the first imperial edict, he saw that no one in the hall objected, so he said:

"Read the second imperial edict."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lai Fu unfolded the second imperial edict, and his sharp voice spread throughout the hall:

"By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that I have been blessed by Heaven for more than 30 years in office, and have worked hard to govern the country. Although I have not expanded the territory, I have protected the foundation of my ancestors. Now I pass the throne to my first daughter, Princess Anping, Qian Lianyi"

After the edict was read, the whole court was in an uproar, and the third prince was the first to jump out and say:

"Father, I do not accept it!" (End of this chapter)
