Chapter 241 Ancient World 58: Crown Prince?!

The queen was originally very proud of watching the two men killing each other, but she didn't expect to see the emperor vomiting blood.

Although this matter has nothing to do with him, the throne has not yet been settled, so he naturally cannot let the emperor die like this.

So she asked the imperial physician to treat him as quickly as possible without hesitation.

Without the Queen saying anything, the others naturally began to treat the Emperor. After confirming that he was just angry and had vomited blood, and needed a period of recuperation, everyone felt relieved.

The queen looked the same, but she felt a little annoyed in her heart.

The one who would ascend the throne now would most likely be his fourth prince. If the emperor died like this, they could take the throne without bloodshed and even leave a good reputation in history books.

It’s a pity that the emperor is in good health and just needs to rest for a while.

But the queen soon came to her senses. After all, she was the only son who had the chance to sit on the throne. It was only a matter of time, so there was no need to rush.

But at this moment, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened, Your Majesty! The Fourth Prince..."

When the queen heard this, she immediately stood up in shock, quickly grabbed the person in front of her and said, "What's wrong? What happened to him..."

"The Fourth Prince has been shot by several arrows and is dying!"

The queen's eyes went dark and she fainted. Everyone quickly sent people to treat her.

But until the emperor woke up, there was still no movement from the queen.

When the emperor heard about the fourth prince's story, he had already made up his mind, so he was not too sad.

He sat weakly on the chair and quickly cleaned up the scene. The eldest prince had been deposed long ago and naturally had no chance of ascending the throne. The second and third princes killed each other and both died. The imperial physician had confirmed that the fourth prince would never be able to stand up again in this life and might even lose his life.

"Go see how Old Five and Old Six are doing!"

Zuo Zhizhi finally felt relieved when she saw this!

Then she felt something was wrong. As soon as the emperor woke up, he started asking the fifth and sixth princes. He knew that the sixth prince's family had died, so now the only one left was the fifth prince!

My frail and sickly brother-in-law is going to become the crown prince!

There is no other way. The country is unstable now and people's hearts must be stabilized as quickly as possible. The best way is to enthrone a crown prince!

There is no hope for the previous princes. The only possible one is the fifth prince. After all, the remaining children are too young, and the emperor may not be able to wait until that time!

Furthermore, at this point, the emperor was too weak to continue to preside over the government, so he had to let the fifth prince take over.

Duan Huairen was also confused. He was originally staying with his princess obediently, and originally thought that he didn't know which royal brother would win this time.

I just hope that they will consider his honesty over the years and let him enjoy his old age!

Who could have imagined that after this night, the entire structure of the court would change so drastically!

He was actually recruited into the palace and was about to become the crown prince!

The whole family was in disbelief, but they couldn't disobey the emperor's order, so Duan Huairen and Zuo Qing'an went to the palace.

Zuo Zhizhi and Gao Xingyun hurried to each household to report the news.

Actually, there is no need to do so. After all, everyone in the capital already knows what they should know!

Everyone couldn't help but sigh that the Zuo family was so lucky!

Before, he was just an ordinary Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department. Even after returning after a few years, he was only a third-rank official and had no reputation in the capital!

Just one night later, he was going to become the father-in-law of the emperor!

Even Zuo Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect her family to have such luck!

I originally thought that they were just ordinary passers-by, so they said they had noble identities, but at best they were just some scraps!

Unexpectedly, after a struggle, they actually got a huge bargain!

Even the people in the Marquis Zhongyi’s Mansion couldn’t help but sigh, it’s all about time and fate!

Before, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were fighting to the death, with neither side refusing to give in. Later, the Fourth Prince made the final move, but it was still a fight between the three parties.

Who would have thought that the fifth prince, who had been hiding nearby to watch the fun and keep himself healthy, would become the final winner!

But now everyone is trying to please the Zuo family as quickly as possible, but Zuo Hexin and Deng Zijin also know the importance of the matter, so naturally they can't drag their feet at this time!

Their greatest advantage is self-knowledge. Even if they become true royal relatives, those who cling to them are only temporary!

Their only goal is to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, and they don't have much loyalty!

Therefore, it is best to hide honestly at this time!

So the family closed the door and refused to see visitors, and only said to the outside world that after the previous war, the family was scared out of their wits, so they could only rest in seclusion!

Although others were very disdainful of this news, since the other party had already shown this attitude, everyone naturally couldn't force him!

Even Zuo Zhizhi and Gao Xingyun hid themselves completely!

Apart from simply reporting the news, the two people didn't dare to go outside at all, for fear of being harassed by other people!

Neither of them is very politically sensitive, but they also know that they must calm down at this time, otherwise they will not be able to bear it!

It would be bad if something happened to them if someone came to settle accounts later!

That afternoon, Duan Huairen was named Crown Prince, and Zuo Qing'an was named Crown Princess.

Before the enthronement ceremony for the two of them took place, they began to move house and deal with important matters in the court without stopping.

Although the court is now maintained by many officials, no mistakes will occur in the short term.

However, the current emperor is old and naturally needs to rest well at this time, so the prince must be pulled out to take over.

Even as a mascot, he must participate in the judgment of important court affairs!

Of course, the emperor was involved in all major events, so Duan Huairen was able to take care of them.

Zuo Qingan is even busier!

The first thing they had to deal with was moving. They had lived in the suburbs before, but that was definitely not possible now. They had already moved into the palace belonging to the prince.

However, the people and things inside had not been completely cleared out, so the only thing to do was to move the former prince's family to another place as quickly as possible.

Then move your family in.

Fortunately, there are only five people in the Fifth Prince's family, and no other concubines, otherwise it would be even busier!

Of course, these things alone would not be a problem for Zuo Qing'an. However, she still had an important task, which was to manage the entire harem!

Ever since the Queen heard that the Fourth Prince was shot by an arrow and is now completely paralyzed, she spat out a mouthful of blood and has remained unconscious until now!

Seeing that she is too ill to handle the affairs of the harem, we must find someone else to take over!
