Chapter 1946 He Appeared
The emperor felt utterly wronged.
“I have only been on this throne for a few years, five years, less than six years. If I abdicate now, the history books will record that I was mediocre when I was the crown prince, so I was unable to ascend the throne until I was nearly fifty years old.”
"As a result, he only reigned for a few years, and his performance became even more mediocre. He lost the support of the people and was betrayed by his officials. He was pulled off the throne and the crown prince ascended the throne."
"With Father Emperor in front and Zhou Ze behind, they are both more capable than me, aren't they? And you, Zhou Shiyue, are you thinking of supporting Zhou Ze to the throne, and then becoming an invisible regent behind the scenes to control the government?"
The crown prince could no longer restrain himself.
“Father, my uncle has no such intention. He did not have it before, he does not have it now, and he will not have it in the future.”
"Rebel!"
The emperor finally saw him there, and he angrily began to curse.
"I am your father! You've been an ingrate since you were little, showing no affection or respect to your own father, and only wanting Zhou Shiyue as your father! He's only three years older than you, still at an age full of ambition, how do you know he hasn't thought about it?!"
Now that the emperor has seen the crown prince, he is even more furious.
This biological son is closer to his imperial uncle.
It seems like everything his royal uncle says is right, even his farts smell good. He's been following Zhou Shiyue around since he was a child. How is he like his son at all?
Otherwise, why would he hate this son so much? He was born to the Empress, and he had been in love with her when he was young.
He should have loved the child born to the woman he loved.
It's all Zhou Ze's fault. He always favored Zhou Shiyue, otherwise their father-son relationship wouldn't be so weak.
"Someone like you think you can defeat Zhou Shiyue? You're being used as a weapon by him without even realizing it!"
“Father, my uncle said he’s not interested in this position. If he really is interested and willing to be the emperor of Great Zhou, then what if I hand over the throne? I’m willing.”
The crown prince stated it very clearly.
He looked at Zhou Shiyue with sincere eyes.
He was sincere.
"You're willing? What makes you think you're willing? Is this dragon throne yours to justify your willingness?"
The emperor was so angry that his vision blurred and then went black.
If he weren't so weak, he would have jumped up and given the prince a good whack.
Why would Zhou Ze agree to this?
"I am now the Emperor of the Great Zhou! I am the one sitting on the dragon throne!"
It's not like Zhou Ze.
"Therefore, I now request that Your Majesty issue an edict of self-reproach, and tomorrow I will hand over the dragon throne to you." The Crown Prince bowed to the Emperor, but his words were firm. "I will govern the Great Zhou well. From now on, please take good care of your health and don't worry about so much."
"what?"
"Cough cough cough..."
The emperor was so shocked that he coughed violently again.
Not only should he issue an edict of self-reproach, but he should also abdicate?
"What right do you have? Are you trying to force me to abdicate? No, you're plotting a rebellion!"
The emperor was really getting restless. He struggled to get out of bed, but his hands trembled uncontrollably as he tried to support himself on the bed. He simply didn't have the strength to sit up, let alone get out of bed.
"Guards! Guards!"
He pounded on the bed board and screamed, then looked at Eunuch Qin, who was standing there pretending to be dead.
"Little Tan, go and summon the Imperial Guards!"
"They're plotting a rebellion! I'm going to lock them up!"
The Emperor called out for a long time, but Eunuch Qin did not respond, and no Imperial Guards came in from outside.
It was as if no one could hear his voice.
But the emperor knew there were definitely people outside. In the past, he only needed to shout a word and the Imperial Guards would come in.
It's completely quiet now, and no one is reacting. Could it be...?
Have all the people in the palace sided with Zhou Shiyue and Zhou Ze? Have they all been bought off by them?
But what gives them the right to bribe so many people?
Didn't he do anything good to make some guards and officials loyal to him?
The emperor felt a sense of despair.
Seeing how agitated he was, the Crown Prince looked at Zhou Shiyue, intending to ask if they should go out first and ask the imperial physician to give the Emperor a couple of acupuncture treatments to calm him down. However, Zhou Shiyue's gaze suddenly shifted to the person next to him.
The crown prince was taken aback. He looked around, but there was nothing there.
Zhou Shiyue watched as the retired emperor slowly walked in.
He moved his lips, but didn't shout.
The retired emperor raised his hand and gently pressed it down, indicating that he should not get agitated.
Zhou Shiyue's eyes were slightly red.
He never expected to see the retired emperor at this time.
He thought that the Emperor Emeritus still needed to recover from his injuries and could not come out yet.
"Eunuch Qin, you may step back now. I need to speak with my brother, the Emperor," Zhou Shiyue said to Eunuch Qin.
Now that the Emperor has arrived, it's not appropriate for Eunuch Qin to stay here.
You can let Eunuch Qin see and hear everything else, but if the Emperor appears, it's best not to let him see anything.
"Yes, Your Highness. Please feel free to give any instructions."
As he spoke, Eunuch Qin withdrew, cleverly closing the palace door behind him.
The crown prince had a feeling, but he was too afraid to believe it and dared not say it aloud.
The emperor, however, was somewhat flustered.
He was shouting excitedly just now, but now he can't shout at all.
Moreover, he felt as if the hall had suddenly become cold. Indeed, it was definitely not his imagination; he really felt that it had suddenly become much colder.
He instinctively tugged at the blanket to cover himself better, but he couldn't even budge it. He pulled hard, but the blanket didn't budge.
Seeing his condition, the Crown Prince stepped forward and pulled the blanket up a little for him.
"Zhou Shiyue, what are you trying to do?"
The Emperor looked at Zhou Shiyue with some fear, "I warn you, if you dare to commit regicide, that is a grave crime!"
"laugh."
Zhou Shiyue couldn't help but chuckle.
The emperor thought he wanted to kill him?
"Father, are you overthinking this?" The Crown Prince asked, somewhat puzzled.
Just then, a hand reached out from behind and gently patted his arm. "Aze, move aside for a moment, let me talk to your father."
The crown prince froze completely.
He could barely turn his neck.
Zhou Shiyue reached out and pulled him away.
The Crown Prince only saw the retired Emperor slowly walking out after he stepped back.
Yes, it was as if she suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He walked to his father's bedside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" the Crown Prince cried out in a trembling voice.
He saw his grandfather!
The retired emperor turned to him and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Well, it's me."
The prince almost raised his hand to rub his eyes hard.
The emperor had already curled up into a ball.
"No, no, it's fake, I didn't see it!"
