Chapter 380: Throne
Liu Ruosi and Rong Chenghan hurried to Chunhui Hall. In the old prince's bedroom, in addition to the old prince's personal service, there were Rong Chengxiang, and the eunuch in the palace.
"The Marquis is here, hurry up, hurry up..." When the eunuch in charge saw Rong Chenghan coming, he did not put on airs, but came forward and said with great diligence.
"It's time for you to be in charge of General Li." Rong Chenghan clasped his fists to the eunuch.
"Hey, where is it?" Mr. Li hurriedly asked Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruosi to go to the old prince's couch. Seeing his attitude towards Rong Chenghan, he was also familiar with his attentiveness.
Liu Ruosi and Rong Chenghan arrived at the old prince's couch. The old prince was lying on the couch, his eyes were still closed, but his breathing was a little rapid, and his eyes seemed to slowly turn under his eyelids. The old prince should have been conscious and wanted to open his eyes, but it was difficult for a moment. The old prince looked a little painful.
When Rong Chengxiang saw Rong Chenghan coming, he seemed to have seen a savior.
"Third brother, you are here. Look, what should I do now?"
"Why did your father suddenly..." Rong Chenghan stepped forward and half-kneeled in front of the old prince's couch, holding the old prince's hand.
The moment Rong Chenghan held the old prince's hand, the old prince seemed to feel it, and the struggled expression on his face was relieved. It seemed that Rong Chenghan's arrival had stabilized the old prince's semi-coma central state much more.
Before Rong Chenghan could continue asking, Rong Chengxiang had already told everything he had just said.
Such a big thing happened to Rong Chengyi. Although Rong Chengxiang had never left by the old prince, he still knew. Rong Chengxiang was gone, and Rong Chengxiang burst into tears. He saw that the old prince had not woken up and said in front of the old prince.
The old prince was lying quietly, but suddenly it seemed like a person was sleeping in his sleep.
The old prince in a coma was still a little slight and was shocked when he heard the news of Rong Chengyi's death. This shock was likely to become a factor that prompted the old prince to wake up. Liu Ruosi could not explain whether this matter was good or bad at all. But there was one thing that everyone didn't have to worry about.
The news of Rong Chengyi's death is absolutely impossible to hide from the old prince.
"Father..." Rong Chenghan held the old prince's hand and shouted twice. The muscles on the old prince's face twitched, but he had not opened his eyes yet.
"Mr. Marquis..." General Manager Li walked over and said in a low voice in Rong Chenghan's ear. "...I have sent someone back to the palace and invite Doctor Luo to come."
In the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Luo is best at acupuncture. Originally, Doctor Luo was sent by the emperor to the old prince. It was just because a concubine in the palace was sick today, so she had to call Doctor Luo back temporarily.
"Thank you, General Manager Li." Rong Chenghan hurriedly thanked General Manager Li.
General Manager Li is the chief supervisor of the inner palace, and now he has been sent by the emperor to guard the old prince. Many of the affairs in the old prince's house are now subject to this General Manager Li.
Soon, Doctor Luo was invited.
After seeing the old prince, Doctor Luo looked unoptimistic. But he still gave the old prince an injection.
"Father, Father..." Under Rong Chenghan's call, the old prince slowly opened his eyes.
Although the old prince opened his eyes, his eyes were unconscious. His mouth opened and closed, but he could only make an extremely faint sound. Rong Chenghan hurriedly put his ear on and finally understood what the old prince was saying.
"Yi'er..." The old prince was asking Rong Chengyi.
"Father." Rong Chenghan couldn't speak, but he had to say it. "Brother, he...he has..."
In order to reduce the stimulation to the old prince, Rong Chenghan carefully explained the news that Rong Chengyi had passed away.
"Oh..." The old prince's eyes became even more dull. After a while, he let out a soft voice, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down his cheeks.
When the old prince was like this, Liu Ruosi couldn't help crying and crying beside her.
"Don't hide it, tell me..." As if he had tried his best, the old prince's voice was still weak, but it was much clearer than before.
"Yes, Father." Rong Chenghan looked sober when he saw the old prince say this.
Rong Chenghan did not hide anything and told the old prince everything about Rong Chengyi's murder.
"Yi'er, I can't see it again." After hearing Rong Chenghan's words, the old prince seemed to want to struggle to get up. But he quickly realized that this was impossible for him.
"Father..." Rong Chenghan saw the old prince's thoughts, "If Father wants to, I will carry my father over."
"No, no need." The old prince was originally heading towards the void, but at this time he slowly turned his gaze to Rong Chenghan. "People cannot fight with their lives, forget it... Ah Han..."
The old prince seemed to want to say something to Rong Chenghan, but his voice lowered little by little, and his eyes slowly closed.
"Father..." Feeling the changes of the old prince, Rong Chenghan suddenly realized something and shouted loudly. He seemed to want to keep the old prince and make the old prince awake by shouting like this.
The old prince seemed to be struggling and refused to close his eyes. His lips were squirming, but he could not make any sound.
After being able to survive for so many days, it was already dependent on the old prince's good physical foundation and a more persevering spirit than ordinary people. At this moment, it was time for the old prince to run out of oil. Just now, when Doctor Luo gave the needle to the old prince, he had already made a very tactful hint.
"Father..." Rong Chenghan held the old prince's hand tightly.
Rong Chenghan was about to cry loudly when he was beside him.
Manager Li suddenly moved forward and passed Rong Chengxiang. Manager Li bent down beside the old prince's couch and pressed his ear against the old prince's lips.
"Old prince just told me that our family will serve the old prince here in accordance with the will of the Emperor. Our family obeyed the order, and the old prince immediately drafted a memorial, asking the third son Wu Yang to be the crown prince of the Yongjing Prince's Mansion..."
"Your Majesty Qiansui, don't worry, our family will definitely bring Mr. Qiansui's words to Mr. Longsui..."
Manager Li said these words loudly. Not only did the people in the old prince’s house hear it, but even the people waiting outside also heard it.
The old prince received the bad news of his eldest son's death, but no one could inherit the Yongjing Mansion. The old prince decided to make Rong Chenghan the crown prince of the Yongjing Mansion.
Manager Li reposted the old prince's words. Then he straightened up and took a little back.
The old prince's eyes slowly closed at this moment. Unlike the expression that was a little painful just now, the old prince's expression was peaceful at this moment.
"Ahan,... I've entrusted it to you..." This is the last sentence left by the old prince.
"Father..." Rong Chenghan burst into tears.
The crying in the room was quickly heard, and the palace immediately cried.
The old prince is dead.
When Su received the news and staggered over, the old prince had already closed his eyes forever.
"Prince..." Su rushed to the old prince's couch and cried loudly. "...You just leave me behind like this, you are so cruel..."
...
It had been several days since the funeral between the old prince and Rong Chengyi, and Liu Ruosi had handled all the subsequent matters properly. She had the first time in so many days. It happened that Rong Chenghan was also in the mansion. The couple were wearing plain clothes and sat in Yunshuiju's upper room and talked.
Liu Ruosi cooked some tea without having to serve the girl. She sat opposite Rong Chenghan on the couch. The couple drank tea while discussing things.
Although the funeral between the old prince and Rong Chengyi was completed, there were not many things that needed to be dealt with in the palace. This one was naturally the Chengjue issue of the Yongjing palace.
During the funeral of the old prince, several imperial edicts were passed down in the palace. One of them was that the emperor appointed Rong Chenghan as the crown prince of the Yongjing Palace according to the old prince's instructions before his death. Just when the old prince's funeral was completed, Rong Chenghan would receive the title and officially become the Prince of Yongjing.
The emperor and his family were convinced of this. Only one person had objected to it.
That person is Su.
There was the old prince's last words and the emperor's imperial edict. Moreover, Rong Chenghan Chengjue was the most in line with the interests of the Yongjing Palace. However, Su clan was determined to recognize it. She wanted Rong Chenghan to refuse the crown prince's title and let Rong Jin Chengjue become the next generation of Yongjing King.
Rong Chenghan had no idea about the throne. When Su proposed this matter in public, he was not very calm. In order to appease Su, Rong Chenghan immediately handed the memorial to the palace, saying that he was ordered by his mother to refuse the enthronement.
However, the palace quickly brought the memorial back, but the emperor did not approve the memorial.
"Tomorrow is a grand court meeting, and this matter will definitely be taken to the court for the ministers to discuss." The couple discussed, and Rong Chenghan said.
"I don't know if the mother's family can change her mind." Liu Ruosi sighed. The Su family came to persuade Su several times, but it didn't work. "I really don't know what the mother's mother is thinking. Don't she know that if you refuse again, you will be punished in the end? At that time, the whole palace will be in trouble. Can the mother's mother be satisfied and feels satisfied and feels that she has the face to go to the ground to meet her father and the ancestors of the palace!"
Rong Chenghan pondered for a moment and was about to speak, a little girl came in outside and reported that Su asked Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruosi to go to Chunhui Hall to have something to say.
"Look, that's it." Liu Ruosi whispered to Rong Chenghan, "Mother Mother wants to come and know that tomorrow's grand ceremony is coming. This is to ask you to go over and talk about the title. I don't know if you have any changes."
"Let's go and have a look." Rong Chenghan frowned slightly, but had to stand up.
Liu Ruosi and Rong Chenghan arrived at Chunhui Hall. Su sat on the couch with a haggard face. The princess, Rong Jin, Rong Chengxiang and Laozi respectively sat on the chairs on both sides of the couch. This was the gathering of the people from the royal palace together, and it was about to discuss major events.
"Tomorrow is a court meeting..." Sure enough, no matter what Liu Ruosi and Rong Chenghan expected, Su did not say anything extra, but went straight to the point. "Ah Han, although the father left words before his death, this throne was originally your elder brother's. Although your elder brother was gone, he still had to enter." Although he knew that the old prince had decided to die, the old prince was buried in front of her, and she wanted to overthrow her and act according to her wishes.
"Look at Jin'er, your sister-in-law is still young, so you give up the throne and sit for Jin'er." Su said this, as if the seat of King Yongjing was just an ordinary toy, so she could sit for anyone she wanted.
"Mom is pregnant for ten months and will give birth to you and raise you. There is nothing else to ask you for it, only this thing." Su actually threatened the fact that she gave birth to Rong Chenghan!
"You have sat on the throne. After a hundred years of waiting for my mother, I really have no face to go underground to see my short-lived sister..." Su said, and started crying.
Su asked Rong Chenghan to give way to Rong Jin, but couldn't explain the reason for doing so. He just said that Rong Jin was pitiful. Rong Chenghan was pitiful because Rong Jin was pitiful. In order to make her feel at ease, she would be able to meet Rong Chengyi's biological mother in a hundred years, and she would resist the order and must give up the throne.
Liu Ruosi sat on the chair and couldn't help but raise her hand to hold her forehead.
Rong Chenghan can give in once or twice, which can be said to be Rong Chenghan's filial piety and brotherly love, but the emperor has always rejected it, obviously because he has made up his mind. If Rong Chenghan repeatedly refuses it, it would be a lack of understanding of the current affairs, disrespectfulness to the order, and disrespectfulness to the superiors.
"Mother," Liu Ruosi said helplessly, "Ahan has already submitted a memorial to refute it once, and went to the front of Emperor Long Sui to beg it once, but it was rejected. Thunder and rain are all emperors' kindness. If Ahan refuses to be granted, he will be punished. Is this foundation and favor that has been obtained by generations of people in our palace who have been bleeding and sweating?
"Ahan has done what he can do. The mother has the idea of a mother. As children, we should follow it. But now, Ahan is not good for him to come forward again... The mother never thought about going to the palace to ask for something in person?"
No one can persuade Su to be so stubborn. Liu Ruosi couldn't help but feel moved. Instead of letting Su force Rong Chenghan to anger the emperor, it would be better to let Su come forward by himself.
With such a temper, Su's will have to hit a wall and be ruthless, so that he will know that the road is not clear.
"The identity of a mother is more effective than Ah Han said," Liu Ruosi said with slight words.
As the widow of Prince Yongjing, Su would soon be ordered to be promoted to the Imperial Concubine if there was no accident. Su insisted on Rong Chenghan giving up the throne, so she asked her to hand over the memorial herself and go to the emperor to beg him.
When the emperor was furious, he would make him angry at Su, which would be better than let Rong Chenghan take the target himself. When Su went, the emperor was afraid that there would be no good face for her. It would be a lesson to let Su suffer some losses. The emperor was not too ruthless in view of the new widow of Su.
Liu Ruosi thought about all this and tried her best to persuade Su.
Su was moved by the words.
"You say that, then...then do it." Su seemed to have made up his mind, "It's just that I've gone to ask for it, you must not regret it." (To be continued)
