I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 249 Establishing a Crown Prince

Queen Liu led the eldest prince gracefully, followed by a group of solemn ministers, and slowly walked into the magnificent palace. Fubao also followed them happily.

As soon as everyone entered, they saw Xiao Yinchen's face was as pale as paper, as if all his vitality had been taken away, and he leaned weakly on the large and gorgeous bed. He closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and had cold sweat on his forehead. He looked lifeless.

When Empress Liu saw this, tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She rushed forward anxiously, shouting, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? What happened? Imperial physician, where is the imperial physician? Explain to me quickly!" Her voice trembled with anxiety and worry.

The imperial physician standing nearby hurriedly bowed and replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the disease your Majesty is suffering from...is the same disease as the late emperor."

Hearing this, Empress Liu staggered back a step as if struck by lightning. Then, her legs softened and she fell to her knees, crying, "How could this be? The Emperor is in his prime, how could he have the same disease as the late Emperor? Oh, God, why do you treat our Emperor like this!"

After calming down a bit, Empress Liu raised her head, looked at everyone with a firm gaze and said, "I heard that the Divine Doctor Ge is now in Qingzhou. We must send someone there immediately and ask him to come out to treat the emperor. I believe that as long as the Divine Doctor helps, the emperor will be cured!"

Xiao Yinchen waved his hand and said, "I don't know how long I can survive this illness. I understand that you all want to establish the crown prince as soon as possible. Therefore, I specially summoned you here today to announce the establishment of the crown prince."

Hearing this, the queen standing beside unconsciously clenched the eldest prince's hand. Her breathing became rapid and her heartbeat seemed to speed up. At this time, Xiao Yinchen slowly turned his eyes among the crowd, as if examining everyone's expression and thoughts.

Finally, his sight stopped at Fubao who was not far away. He smiled slightly and called softly, "Fubao, come here for a moment."

Hearing this, Fubao quickly ran to Xiao Yinchen and asked with concern, "Second Uncle, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Why don't you come back to Qingzhou with me? My great grandfather Ge and godmother Xiyun are very skilled in medicine, they will definitely be able to cure your illness."

Although his parents said that his second uncle was very bad, Fubao felt uncomfortable when he saw that he was about to die.

Besides, his parents' revenge has not been completed yet, how can he let his second uncle die like this? Trick him back to Qingzhou first.

Xiao Yinchen looked at the people around him who were eagerly waiting for him to appoint a crown prince, and he could not help but feel an indescribable anger and sadness in his heart. Among so many people, only this little nephew really cared about him.

(Fubao: I am not, I don’t have it.)

Xiao Yinchen waved his hand gently, staring at the child in front of him with a look of satisfaction on his face, and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, I want to make Xiao Yunsheng, also known as Fubao, the crown prince!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding in the court.

"What!" someone exclaimed, his voice full of disbelief. Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Queen Liu's eyes widened and her face turned pale as paper in an instant. She pointed at Xiao Ping with trembling hands and said sternly: "Your Majesty!!! This is your biological son! How can you make an outsider who has no blood relationship with you the crown prince? Someone, please call the imperial physician to see the emperor. The emperor must be sick and confused!" At this time, Queen Liu no longer cared about her image. Her face was hideous and distorted, like a mad female beast.

However, the emperor was not shaken by the queen's words. He gasped and glared at the queen, saying, "Queen, the one who is really confused is not me, but you! What do you mean by no blood relationship? Fubao is the flesh and blood of our Xiao family!!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do this! The prince is your own flesh and blood and should be the heir to the throne!" The ministers knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and begged bitterly.

But the emperor was not moved at all. He slammed the bed, stood up and roared: "He is not my child at all! He is just a bastard who came out of nowhere!!"

Hearing this, Empress Liu's body swayed and she almost fell to the ground. Her eyes were filled with astonishment and despair, tears rolled down uncontrollably, and she murmured to herself: "Your Majesty, you...how can you say this to me?"

Xiao Yinchen slowly sat back on the bed, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold and mocking smile, and said: "Really? Then you should open your eyes and take a good look. How exactly does this child look like me?"

Hearing this, Empress Liu quickly responded, "That's because Ping'er looks more like me, so naturally she looks more like me!"

At this moment, Xiao Ping's face was already in tears, and his small body was shaking constantly. At only five years old, he couldn't understand why his beloved father would so resolutely deny his own flesh and blood.

Xiao Yinchen's eyes were as deep as a cold pond, staring at Empress Liu closely, as if he wanted to see through her. That look was like watching a ridiculous farce, cold and ruthless.

Queen Liu was startled and thought to herself: Could it be... Could it be that he already knew the inside story? But then she thought, even if he really did know, now that the matter is done, what can he do to me?

Thinking of this, Empress Liu took a deep breath, suddenly stood up from the ground, straightened her back, quickly put away her previous embarrassment, and once again showed the dignified demeanor that a queen should have. She said to Xiao Yinchen righteously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't know if you have become confused due to illness, or if you have been blinded by something and can't even tell the difference between relatives and strangers, right and wrong! Could it be that you have been fooled by this kid?"

Queen Liu's face was filled with rage. Her beautiful eyes were flashing with resentment. She stared at Fubao as if she wanted to eat him alive.

"Someone come! Quickly bring this ignorant little bastard away to me!" Queen Liu shouted harshly, her voice was sharp and piercing, making people shudder.

Xiao Yinchen's deep and majestic voice rang out: "Let's see who dares! Eunuch Zhang, bring the person up to me immediately!"

Eunuch Zhang was shocked when he heard this, and quickly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. Then he quickly walked to the side, stretched out his hand and pulled a man in front of everyone.

The man's hair was in disarray, covering most of his face. He was as thin as a candle in the wind, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. He had just been brought here, and before he could stand firmly, he fell to his knees with a plop. His emotions collapsed instantly, and he cried out loudly: "Your Majesty! Please have mercy on me and give me a quick death! I really can't stand this torture..."

After shouting, he turned his head abruptly and shot his eyes straight at Queen Liu, his eyes full of resentment and resentment: "It's all your fault, you vicious woman! And your cruel father, if you and your daughter hadn't forcibly tied me into the palace and forced me to do that kind of shameful thing with you, how could I have ended up like this? I have been imprisoned here for five whole years!"

At this point, the man suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Xiao Ping again. He pointed his finger at him with trembling hands and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be...could it be that this child is my own flesh and blood?" After saying that, he slowly raised his hands and gently pushed away the messy hair that was covering his face.

Instantly, all the ministers present were shocked, their mouths wide open, dumbfounded. It turned out that this man's appearance was extremely similar to that of the current crown prince Xiao Ping, as if they were carved from the same mold!

Seeing this, Queen Liu snatched a sword from the guard beside her and stabbed it into the man's body: "You lowly person, don't talk nonsense here and slander me!"
