Imperial Doctor Qin heard correctly. Xiao Tianyao wanted the emperor to recover, of course, it was not because of brotherly love, but because of political needs.
The Emperor doesn't lack princes, and Xiao Tianyao doesn't lack puppet princes, but… …
The emperor's sons, except for the crown prince, were all very ‘progressive' and ‘ambitious'. Even the young seventh prince was not a simple thing. It was not easy to choose one among them to be the puppet emperor.
But to let Xiao Tianyao help the crown prince to the throne, Xiao Tianyao thought that he doesn't have such a big heart and that he can let the man who has a "marriage contract" with his wife dangle in front of him.
In addition to this, there was another problem, that was, no prince can suppress the Empress.
The Empress was the mother of the country, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, as long as she exists, she will be the Empress Dowager. With the ident.i.ty of the Empress and the power in her hand, unless Xiao Tianyao himself sits on the throne, any prince will not be her opponent.
But here comes the problem, it was impossible for Xiao Tianyao to ascend the throne as the emperor now. If he wants to ascend the throne as the emperor, he will not be able to do many things, and he couldn't be as free as he was now where he can go wherever he wants.
In order not to let the Empress become rampant, and suppress the Empress, Xiao Tianyao had no choice but to ask Imperial Doctor Qin to heal the Emperor and release the Emperor. After this incident, the Emperor's confidants have been cleaned up by him. Even if the Emperor sits on the throne again, he was just a puppet.
Imperial Doctor Qin was sure that he heard correctly, Prince Xiao wanted to heal the Emperor, so he carefully replied: "The emperor's disease needs to be treated by opening his skull. I have never tried it before, so I am only 20% sure." He was not sure, so he didn't dare to mention it to the Emperor, so he just asked the Emperor to take a good rest.
"Opening the skull? Is the Emperor's illness that serious?" This disease was ruthless. Although Xiao Tianyao knows that the Emperor often has headaches, he doesn't know that his illness was this serious.
It was not that Xiao Tianyao doesn't pay attention to the Emperor's health, it was because the Emperor hides it too deeply, and he can't find out at all.
"It wasn't so serious before. As long as he takes good care of it, he will be fine. But this time, the Emperor's condition has worsened. Only by finding the symptoms in the head can he be cured." After confirming Xiao Tianyao's intentions, Imperial Doctor Qin became more courageous to speak.
After all, they were brothers. Although the prince and the emperor were fighting to the death, he still cares about the emperor.
"Without opening the emperor's skull, can you wake him up? How long can he live?" If he goes under treatment, but can only live three to five months, it doesn't make much sense.
After three to five months, he has to find another heir. How troublesome would it be?
"According to the emperor's situation, even if he wakes up, he won't be able to last long. He can only live for half a year at most." If the imperial power and his position were unstable, according to the Emperor's temperament, he will disregard his dragon body and compete with Xiao Tianyao for power. He was afraid that the Emperor won't survive for a few more days by then.
"If the emperor's illness is cured, how many years can he live?" It was not a good thing if the Emperor can live too long. However, although he was not a good person, he does not want to kill his brothers.
It was not a happy thing to have your hands stained with the blood of your relatives.
"The emperor's body is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, he can only live for ten years at most." The emperor was not very old, but when he was a prince, he fought and calculated his other brothers for the throne, and spent countless efforts. After ascending the throne, after a few years of peaceful life, Prince Xiao grew up. The Emperor was busy fighting with Prince Xiao. These years, he has been living in calculations and overthinking. How can he be healthy?
"You go." Xiao Tianyao got the answer he wanted, so he let Imperial Doctor Qin get out, and sat alone in the tent, thinking about which method was feasible.
Ten years was too long, he only needs to support the Emperor for three to five years, but if he let the other princes sit on the throne, it may not be a matter of ten years. The most important thing was that the ident.i.ties and abilities of the other princes can't suppress the Empress. Once the Empress stabs him in the back, he will be in trouble.
"After all the calculations, the Emperor will still be cheaper in the end." Xiao Tianyao closed his eyes and shook his head.
It took him many years to suppress the Emperor's arrogance, but now he has to help the Emperor to get up again. He felt aggrieved just thinking about it.
However, he believed that the Emperor and Empress were even more aggrieved. After all, when the Emperor wakes up this time and sits on the throne again, everything will be different from before. He doesn't know if his good brother can bear such a big gap.
As for the Empress?
He was afraid that she will vomit blood with anger.
It took more than ten years, waiting for more than ten years, looking forward to more than ten years, and finally overwhelmed the emperor, and he was able to take power, but he didn't expect that the power in his hand would be taken away by the Emperor before it was warmed up.
However, he can’t blame him for all of this. If there was someone to blame, it should be the Empress. Blame her for being too ambitious. If the Empress hadn’t moved her mind, wanting to use the Central Empire to suppress him, he wouldn’t have cheated the Empress like this.
"That's it." Xiao Tianyao knocked heavily on the table: "Come on!"
"w.a.n.gye." The shadow guard appeared and knelt at Xiao Tianyao's feet.
"Go, let someone keep an eye on the palace, and don't let anything happen to the emperor." According to the Empress's viciousness, it would be very likely that she will attack the Emperor.
"Yes." The shadow guard took the order to retreat.
At midnight, many a.s.sa.s.sins suddenly appeared in the palace. These a.s.sa.s.sins had a very clear goal and rushed straight to the Emperor's bedroom.
"There are a.s.sa.s.sins!"
"Hurry, hurry up, and defend the Emperor."
"Come on, come on, there are a.s.sa.s.sins to a.s.sa.s.sinate the emperor."
Wave after wave of black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sins emerged from the corners of the palace, broke through one line of defense after another, and rushed straight to the Emperor's bedroom. They rushed to the front of the palace within a quarter of an hour.
"No, these people are here for the Emperor." Although the Empress controls the palace, the guards outside the emperor's bedroom were all the emperor's confidantes, and they will defend the Emperor to death.
However, except for them, there were no guards in the palace who came out to stop the a.s.sa.s.sin. They were indeed not weak, but they alone couldn't stop the a.s.sa.s.sin.
"Imperial concubine, the a.s.sa.s.sins are about to rush in. You take the Emperor and go first." Seeing that the Emperor's guards couldn't stop the a.s.sa.s.sin, they asked Imperial Concubine Zhou to take the Emperor away, but Imperial Concubine Zhou remained motionless: "Take him away? Where can we go?" Where? The entire court was in the hands of that woman, they will die as soon as we leave."
Imperial Concubine Zhou was not stupid. a.s.sa.s.sins appear in the palace at this time. Even if these a.s.sa.s.sins were not sent by the Empress, they must be related to the Empress.
"Imperial concubine, the palace is not safe. You must take the Emperor to leave immediately. If you are worried that the Empress will do something wrong, take the Emperor to the Empress's Luanfeng Hall." No matter how bold the Empress was, she will not dare to kill the Emperor in public.
"Luanfeng Hall?" Imperial Concubine Zhou's eyes lit up.
Although she didn't want to fall into the Empress's hands, she found that the Luanfeng Palace was indeed the only safe place. No matter how much the Empress covered the sky, she will not dare to let the Emperor die in the Luanfeng Palace……
