Chapter 532: Qin Wenli is appointed Crown Prince
"Your Highness!"
The court was suddenly in chaos.
The emperor also stood up anxiously and shouted, "Quick, carry the eldest prince back to the palace and call the imperial physician! Dismiss the court!"
Soon, Qin Chengqian was carried back.
The imperial physician rushed to treat him.
Although Qin Wenli was happy to be made the crown prince, he had to rush to see Qin Chengqian to show his kindness.
Jiang Ningwan came to Concubine Rong's palace and waited, and Xie Lianyi also came.
It was almost noon when Qin Wenli finally came back.
"How is Qin Chengqian? Is he pretending?" Jiang Ningwan asked.
Qin Wenli replied, "No, I fainted from anger. The imperial physician told me to rest for a few days. I can't stand the stimulation."
"My father told me not to see him recently and not to hang around him." As he said this, Qin Wenli's eyes dimmed a little.
Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised, then sneered.
"The only way to do that is to lock Qin Chengqian up."
Hearing this, Concubine Rong became a little nervous. "The Emperor won't regret it, will he? Qin Chengqian was so angry that he vomited blood. If the Emperor softens his heart..."
Jiang Ningwan quickly said, "No, the emperor's words are golden, and how can we take them back so easily?"
"As long as my cousin doesn't make any big mistakes that could be used against him, he'll be able to secure the position of Crown Prince."
Only then did Concubine Rong feel relieved. It was the first time that her dream came true, which made her feel a little unreal. She even didn't dare to be happy, fearing that this joy would be fleeting.
"I never dared to think about the position of crown prince before..." Concubine Rong's voice choked and her eyes were red.
After so many years, it’s finally here.
Qin Wenli took Concubine Rong's hand and patted her on the back, "Mother, our good days are still to come."
"My son will definitely be very careful and cautious, never make any mistakes, and never let anyone catch him!"
Concubine Rong smiled with red eyes and nodded.
At this time, Xie Lianyi said, "Being careful is secondary. We must be wary of the eldest prince and his group's frame-up. A desperate dog will jump over the wall."
A deep cold light flashed across Jiang Ningwan's eyes, "I'll take care of the eldest prince."
"Cousin, you just need to focus on assisting with government affairs and secure your position as Crown Prince as soon as possible."
Qin Wenli smiled and said, "I feel at ease with you here."
……
Qin Chengqian fell ill, and Doctor Li personally treated him, taking his pulse and prescribing medicine for three consecutive days.
Qin Chengqian had woken up a long time ago and wanted to go out for a walk, but was persuaded by Doctor Li.
"Your Highness, although you appear to be fine, you are actually suffering from liver fire. You need to rest and recuperate. You should avoid worrying and straining your mind. It would be best if you rest in your bedroom."
How could Qin Chengqian sit still? "But I still have to go to court to help my father!"
Doctor Li hesitated to speak.
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of state affairs, it would only add to the troubles if the eldest prince went.
"Your Highness, it's not too late to help the Emperor after you've recovered."
After prescribing the medicine, Doctor Li took his leave.
After leaving, he passed by the garden and ran into Hai Dehong. Eunuch Hai called Doctor Li to a deserted corner.
Jinkui, who was delivering lunch to the eldest prince, happened to pass by and saw Eunuch Hai and Imperial Physician Li talking from afar, even in such a remote place.
Curious, she approached quietly.
Then he heard Eunuch Hai ask, "Doctor Li, have you destroyed all those Tianshan Buddha Lotuses?"
Doctor Li was slightly startled. "No, this medicinal material is precious. If it is destroyed, wouldn't it be a pity?"
Eunuch Hai said solemnly, "Although it's a pity, if people knew that the Queen didn't use the Tianshan Buddha Lotus during her lifetime, the consequences would be disastrous!"
"Doctor Li, you should deal with this as soon as possible. No traces should be left. This matter is of great importance and cannot be neglected!"
Hearing this, Doctor Li nodded solemnly, "I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Hai, for reminding me."
It would be a real pity if these Tianshan Buddha Lotuses were destroyed.
Doctor Li left with a heavy heart and worries.
Hai Dehong also left quickly, glancing in the direction of Jinkui from the corner of his eye.
When Jinkui heard this, she turned pale with fright and covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
When there was no one around, he hurried back in panic with the food.
At this moment, Qin Chengqian had finished his medicine and was waiting for lunch at the table. His stomach was rumbling, making him feel even more depressed.
He angrily shouted, "Qin Wenli has been made the crown prince, and I don't even have lunch? These dogs, do they think I'm dead?"
Qin Chengqian angrily threw the medicine bowl.
Snapped--
The medicine bowl slammed down at Jinkui's feet at the door, scaring her so much that she trembled all over and the lunch in her hand fell to the ground, scattering all over the floor.
Qin Chengqian was even more furious when he saw this. "What are you doing? Are you deliberately not letting me eat?"
Jinkui knelt on the ground in panic, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I will bring you another lunch right away."
But at this moment, Qin Chengqian's anger was out of control and he wanted to punish Jinkui, but when he thought that she was his mother's personal maid, he gave up the idea.
Jinkui is also loyal in serving her mother.
So he spared her.
While waiting for Jinkui to get lunch, Qin Chengqian got up and left the bedroom and went to Fengqi Palace.
Fengqi Palace no longer has the bustle of the past. The courtyard is filled with snow and no one cleans it. It is cold and deserted.
When he pushed the door open and entered the hall, he wanted to sit in his mother's room for a while, but he found that the room had changed a lot and all of his mother's things were gone.
He didn't believe it at first and thought it had been put away.
When he rummaged through the drawers and found that there was not a single thing belonging to his mother in the entire room, a chill ran down his spine.
Then he called the only eunuch in the bedroom and asked, "Where are my mother's things from the past? Where did they go?"
It was clearly there some time ago.
After the Queen Mother passed away, Fengqi Palace has remained in its original state.
After he came back from the imperial mausoleum, he would come and sit here every few days.
The eunuch stammered, "It was taken away."
“Who took it away?”
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chengqian was extremely angry and immediately wanted to go find them to get his mother's things back.
But at this moment, he ran into Jiang Ningwan coming out of the side hall.
Qin Chengqian paused in shock, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Ningwan looked around nonchalantly and slowly, "Let me see if there's anything in Fengqi Palace that needs to be modified."
Qin Chengqian's face turned grim. "Change? Why?! This is my mother's bedroom!"
Jiang Ningwan scoffed, "Your mother is long gone."
"The throne of Queen has been vacant for a long time. My cousin is now the Crown Prince. It won't be long before my aunt is crowned Queen. We'll have to move into Fengqi Palace sooner or later. I came to take a look ahead of time to clean it up and get rid of the bad luck."
Jiang Ningwan put her hands behind her back and walked slowly towards the main hall.
Her words were like countless sharp blades, piercing Qin Chengqian's heart.
I felt angry and sad at the same time.
Qin Chengqian angrily chased into the main hall, "What did you say! To crown her queen? Wishful thinking!"
Jiang Ningwan saw that he was furious, but she remained calm and smiled calmly, "How can you be delusional? My cousin is now the crown prince. How can the crown prince's biological mother be just a concubine?"
"After all, the position of Queen has been vacant for so long. My aunt is in charge of the six palaces and should have been the Queen long ago. Now that the Third Prince has been appointed Crown Prince, it is only natural and logical for my aunt to be crowned Queen!"
"I have had everything originally belonging to Fengqi Palace cleared out. Your Highness, please do not come here again. If you wish to commemorate the late queen, please go to the imperial mausoleum."
