Hold His Hand

Xie Chengze brought many guards and those border soldiers to meet his emperor father.

There were people around the emperor to protect him, but when thousands of border soldiers swarmed up, these people immediately collapsed. When Xie Chengze drove straight in, there were not many people left around the emperor.

These few people are all the emperor’s confidants, including the imperial consort’s younger brother.

King Rui’s siege of the East Palace today was originally ordered by the emperor.

After the emperor found out that he was not going to live long, he kept wondering who the person who would like him died. After much deliberation, the suspicion landed on Xie Chengze — While investigating who was harming him, he unintentionally found Xie Chengze’s trace. He has a lot of power.

He originally thought that Xie Chengze had a heart condition, and his heart condition is too serious to be a threat to him, but what if all of that was Xie Chengze’s disguise?

If he is dead, Xie Chengze will be able to ascend the throne! In contrast, King Rui had no reason to harm him.

Then, since such an arrangement was made. The emperor left a few ministers in the palace, intending to make King Rui the crown prince once Xie Chengze died.

In the end, King Rui brought so many imperial troops to the East Palace but he still lost!

Xie Chengze actually arranged so many soldiers to come to the capital in advance and he didn’t know anything about it!

The emperor knew about the battle in the East Palace. The emperor even thought about running away, but the palace was surrounded, and they had nowhere to escape, so he could only wait now.

The soldiers were left outside and Xie Chengze brought his confidants and Lu Yanzhou into the emperor’s bedroom.

He had already disregarded life and death, so he looked extraordinary and refined. He was completely different from the tense atmosphere at the moment, that inexplicably made those who followed him feel relieved.

His Highness the crown prince’s appearance clearly means everything is as he planned!

That being the case, they have nothing to fear!

Xie Chengze’s appearance greatly boosted the confidence of the people on their side, but on the other side…the emperor was furious when he saw Xie Chengze.

There was a lot of shouting and killing outside before, so many people must have died, however, Xie Chengze’s expression was calm, the clothes on his body didn’t have a single wrinkle and there was no sweat on his forehead.

Facing the palace change, he is so relaxed?!

The emperor was angry, then five of the seven people standing beside him knelt down unanimously: “I have seen your highness!”

Among the people who knelt down, the imperial consort’s younger brother was also included! As for the two standing, they were the old eunuchs and the chief guards next to the emperor. These two were loyal to the emperor, so they didn’t kneel down.

“Bastard!” The emperor was furious. His confidantes turned against him! They knelt down to Xie Chengze at this moment, what was it if not betraying? “Unfilial son!”

Xie Chengze looked at the emperor, neither happy nor sad.

Xie Chengze’s appearance made the emperor even more angry, and the atmosphere in the palace also turned tense. At this time, Lu Yanzhou moved a stool for Xie Chengze: “Your highness, please sit down and rest for a while.”

Although Xie Chengze was carried all the way here, it’s so late…staying up late is not good for his health, and standing is even more tiring, so Xie Chengze should sit down.

Better still get this all sorted out quickly and go to bed early.

Xie Chengze glanced at Lu Yanzhou, then sat down obediently.

The emperor was too angry to speak.

Lu Yanzhou’s two cousins-in-law looked at the emperor’s face, and then at Lu Yanzhou, feeling very pleased.

They also feel that their brother-in-law is a bit arrogant.

It’s okay to kill King Rui without hesitation just now, but now he doesn’t even give the emperor any face.

The most important thing is…the crown prince seems to be really fond and trust their brother-in-law.

Their future is secured.

“Crown prince, what do you want to do by bringing your troops into the palace?” The old eunuch beside the emperor asked in a shrill voice.

The emperor slurred his words, so he could only do it for him.

Xie Chengze took the time to calm down: “Emperor father, King Rui joined forces with the Imperial Army to enter the palace to rebel. He’s very treasonous, but he has already been executed. I’ve come to inform emperor father.”

As soon as the word ‘executed’ came out, the kneeling ministers trembled, and the emperor’s pupils also shrank.

The crown prince has always been benevolent. They thought that after the crown prince captured King Rui, he would not kill him.

After all, with the current situation, it’s already difficult for King Rui to stand up.

However, this is normal. The crown prince has mobilized troops to enter the capital in advance, maybe the crown prince would also force the palace if they didn’t do it today.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor’s so-called ‘confidantes’ said one after another: “King Rui is really treasonous!”

“Thanks to crown prince!”

“Crown prince is wise!”

……

Xie Chengze glanced at them and laughed in his heart — these people really have no integrity at all.

However, it’s impossible for a person with integrity to stay by his father’s side.

“Rebellious son!” The emperor suddenly threw something at Xie Chengze.

Lu Yanzhou stood beside Xie Chengze all the time, so he kicked it back without even thinking about it, only to find out after kicking it that it was just a pouch filled with medicinal materials, and now the pouch was directly kicked back to the emperor’s bed.

Everyone: “…”

The emperor’s confidantes who knelt down said: “Your majesty calm down, the crown prince is also thinking about your safety!”

“Your highness, the Emperor has been ill for a long time and is not sober!”

“Your highness…”

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou’s two cousins-in-law at this time: “Two generals, take these kneeling ones down.”

After finishing speaking, Xie Chengze arranged some people to do things, and in the end he was left with only his guards, confidantes like Zhou Xueya, and Lu Yanzhou.

What he was going to do next was not suitable for being watched by a group of people, he didn’t want to disturb them.

As for what he is going to do…When they left, Xie Chengze said: “Emperor father, I will ask someone to draw up an abdication edict, you can stamp it.”

When Xie Chengze said this, he was very calm, but the emperor was unwilling: “Don’t even think about it!”

“Since that’s the case…then emperor father, you were frightened today and fell into a coma. You should pass away in a few days.” Xie Chengze said.

Xie Chengze’s words were absolutely treasonous, Zhou Xueya and the others couldn’t bear it, let alone the emperor: “What did you say?”

Xie Chengze said: “emperor father is really seriously ill, you can’t even hear what I said, then I’ll repeat it again. Emperor father, you were frightened today…”

“I…I abdicate!” the emperor blurted out.

“That’s great.” Xie Chengze looked at Zhou Xueya: “Lord Zhou, go and write an edict of abdication.”

Zhou Xueya immediately went to the side to write the imperial edict.

The emperor looked at Xie Chengze bitterly: “Is it because of you that I’m like this now?”

Xie Chengze was very calm: “Yes, emperor father. I didn’t want to do anything, but at the end of last year, you knew that I had a heart condition but still make me give you my blood…You don’t treat me as a son, so naturally I don’t need to treat you as a father.”

The emperor’s mouth was even more crooked. It suddenly occurred to him that the little daoist boy had been very quiet at first, it was indeed after that that he started to play various tricks and tricked him.

He said how does that little boy know so much, the person behind him is indeed the crown prince!

No wonder!

The emperor was very angry and Xie Chengze’s confidants were all shocked.

They knew that Xie Chengze was very cunning, but they didn’t expect that the emperor’s illness was also because of him!

The crown prince is a bit…cruel!

Seeing Xie Chengze’s words, Zhou Xueya also began to doubt — was all this really arranged by the crown prince?

Then, Lu Yanzhou was speechless — even if Xie Chengze was angry with the emperor, he didn’t have to pour dirty water on himself…

But forget it, it’s nothing, people who hear it will never talk nonsense.

The emperor glared at Xie Chengze: “You…you…”

“Emperor father, is there anything else you want to ask?” Xie Chengze looked innocent.

Then, Zhou Xueya said at this moment: “The imperial edict is ready.”

Lu Yanzhou hurriedly wanted Xie Chengze to go back to sleep, so he said, “Your highness, hurry up and get down to business, it’s already late…The chicken soup I made people stew has also been stewed.”

“That’s right, I’m hungry.” Xie Chengze said.

The emperor spat out a mouthful of blood.

But this did not affect Xie Chengze’s abdication edict.

When Xie Chengze got the edict, Lu Yanzhou persuaded him: “Your highness, you go back to eat something and sleep, we will take care of the rest.”

Xie Chengze didn’t care about this, so he naturally agreed: “Okay.”

Zhou Xueya hesitated to speak. He was always worried that Lu Yanzhou would kill his highness!

But looking at Lu Yanzhou’s attentive appearance now, maybe he really thought too much?

Lu Yanzhou didn’t know what Zhou Xueya was thinking. After he persuaded Xie Chengze to go to bed, he got busy.

He didn’t have any people on hand, so he used Xie Chengze’s people to handle the affairs and quickly arranged a bunch of things for them to do.

People other than Zhou Xueya: no wonder the crown prince values this Lu zhuangyuan so much, he has real skills!

After Lu Yanzhou finished arranging things for these people, it was already dawn and Xie Chengze also woke up.

Lu Yanzhou immediately went to Xie Chengze: “Your highness, how do you feel?”

Xie Chengze pulled him to his side and kissed him: “I’m good.”

“As long as your highness is good,” Lu Yanzhou hugged him, “Your highness, I can call you your majesty from now on!” The enthronement ceremony was a bit later but Xie Chengze was already the emperor in the actual sense.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou realized that he still had some things to discuss with Xie Chengze.

“What’s the matter?” Xie Chengze also noticed.

“Your majesty, I have already told you my identity. I am from the Lu family. Your majesty, after you ascend the throne, can you help the Lu family redress the case, okay?” Lu Yanzhou asked.

“Okay.” Xie Chengze agreed.

Lu Yanzhou continued: “Your majesty, there is one more thing…”

“What’s the matter?” Xie Chengze asked.

Lu Yanzhou said: “Your majesty, the two of us are already together, like husband and wife. After your majesty ascends the throne, can you not set up a harem?”

Lu Yanzhou believed that Xie Chengze would not be with others, but Xie Chengze didn’t have any memories of the past, so maybe he would make some decorations…That’s also a response.

“Okay.” Xie Chengze agreed again, feeling that Lu Yanzhou was a bit strange.

He is near the end of his life, it’s impossible for this body to be with others. Lu Yanzhou is still worried about this? Even if it’s acting, it doesn’t have to be like this, right?

Seeing that Xie Chengze agreed without hesitation, Lu Yanzhou was in a great mood and hugged Xie Chengze and kissed him.

Alas, his AZe is too obedient!
