C142 Stealing the Throne in the Nick of Time

0Susu had seen a lot of people and things before and knew how to handle things. Now, she naturally knew that Ann Tan was looking at Lee Wanning strangely, she didn't know what was good about this woman in front of her, but she could only put her thoughts in her heart as she said to Lee Wanning, "Servant Susu."    

    

Lee Wanning pulled her up from the ground and said, "Seventh Prince, you know my personality. I can't accept this person."    

    

Lee Wanning thought that she was quite accurate in judging people. It was obvious that she was infatuated with Ann Tan. If she kept Susu by her side, there was no telling what she would do to her.    

    

Lee Wanning never did anything that raised a tiger to cause trouble.    

    

Ann Tan looked at Lee Wanning with a smile.    

    

"In that case, I won't make things difficult for you." Ann Tan said, "Susu, let's go."    

    

Susu naturally followed behind Ann Tan and looked at the last scene in the shop. It was Lee Wanning returning to the counter. She had her head down, calculating something, and a bland look on her face.    

    

Ann Tan said, "Don't think too much into it. I just don't want to make you feel wronged. With the current situation, it's still unknown whether or not I can live until tomorrow."    

    

Suddenly hearing Ann Tan's words, Susu's expression changed. Then, she said softly, "Susu naturally follows the prince."    

    

Ann Tan just smiled.    

    

What troubled Lee Wanning even more was what Consort Hua had told her before.    

    

The amount of information she said was too much for her to react to.    

    

Princess …    

    

This sort of title was a very distant matter to her. Previously, when she found out that Ann Yu was a princess, she thought that it was an inconceivable matter. But now, someone had come to tell her that she was a princess who had been separated from the Wusun for many years …    

    

Previously, Consort Hua had said that there were soldiers trampling over her homeland. She and her elder sister had fled all the way here, leaving her elder sister behind.    

    

Lee Changshou had never told her about her mother, so Lee Wanning naturally wouldn't remember. However, when she got married, Lee Changshou had told her that it was his mother's gold bracelet …    

    

Lee Wanning thought for a moment, but could not figure out where she put the gold bracelet. It was very possible that it was an important token.    

    

As for the State of Wusun …    

    

These two days, Lee Wanning also knew Soong Yun, it was a small country in the north. Previously, it was only because of the years of war that it was able to survive until today under the protection of its neighbors.    

    

And why did Consort Hua stay by the emperor's side? That was intriguing. Could it be that she wanted revenge?    

    

Thinking of this, Lee Wanning couldn't help but shudder.    

    

As the night went on, Lee Wanning couldn't fall asleep no matter how she slept. She looked out the window at the moonlight. She didn't know that what Zhou Qu saw was the same moonlight. Is he all right now?    

    

It was cold, was there anyone to help him get dressed?    

    

He will... Do you miss me?    

    

Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, sleepiness slowly crept in and she fell asleep.    

    

At this moment, everyone in the palace was extremely nervous.    

    

Everyone knew that the emperor's health wasn't good, but no one expected that he would suddenly pass away.    

    

Consort Lan was the first to learn of this news. She had wanted to serve the emperor and drink the medicine, but the emperor's body had turned stiff on the bed. She was shocked and rushed forward, but the emperor had already stopped breathing.    

    

Consort Lan's face was full of fear. Just as she wanted to call for help, she suddenly thought of something and immediately said to the person beside her, "Go, get Seventh Prince here!"    

    

The emperor had already left the imperial court for more than half a month, so no one could tell if the matter of him establishing the crown prince was real or fake. Perhaps it was just a false rumor from the palace, or maybe the emperor had already passed the secret decree to Seventh Prince.    

    

None of these could be confirmed.    

    

At that time, Ann Tan was in his study.    

    

Susu stood beside him with the dishes she had just made in the kitchen in her hand. She placed them one by one in front of her.    

    

Ann Tan slightly raised his eyes, but he saw that Susu had a faint smile on her face. Under the candlelight, it was quite a pleasant scene.    

    

"Seventh Prince, this servant will help you eat."    

    

Then, Susu had already picked up one of the pastries. Just as she was about to feed it into Ann Tan's mouth, she heard disturbing footsteps coming from outside. Ann Tan pushed her hand away and stood up.    

    

That person came in just in time and said, "Seventh Prince, Lady Consort Lan invites you in!"    

    

Ann Tan rolled his eyes and said, "I'll go right away."    

    

Susu's face was full of surprise. When she saw Ann Tan turn around and leave, she walked up, "Seventh Prince, the dew is deeper outside, do you need to …"    

    

Before Susu finished, Ann Tan interrupted her, "No need. If you don't want to die, you can stay here!"    

    

The coldness of that voice made Susu freeze on the spot. She looked in front of her with disbelief, but Ann Tan's figure had already disappeared.    

    

The emperor was dead, before he had a chance to announce the imperial edict.    

    

Ann Tan's face was serious. Consort Lan said slowly, "Tan'er, what do you want?"    

    

Before this, Ann Tan's Mother Consort had a good relationship with Consort Lan. Furthermore, Consort Lan had been helping him throughout the decades in the Cold Palace. Therefore, Ann Tan basically treated Consort Lan as his birth mother.    

    

He said, "This matter cannot be spread out. If the news of Royal Father's death were to be leaked, Ann Wen would definitely not sit idly by. At this moment, he still has three hundred thousand soldiers guarding the palace, if he were to force it …"    

    

Consort Lan naturally thought of this as well. Ann Tan's eyes had already shifted to the surrounding palace maids as he said, "Niang Niang, don't blame me for being ruthless."    

    

Consort Lan gritted her teeth and said, "I understand."    

    

That night, all of the palace maids in the emperor's sleeping quarters had their blood replaced once, while Consort Lan remained in the emperor's room. The next day, they heard that the emperor was in great health, and that he had even spent the entire night with Consort Lan on the Spring Festival Gala.    

    

When these words reached the empress's ears, the empress flew into a rage. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "This Consort Lan is really getting more and more uncultured. The emperor has just recovered, how can she do such a thing?!"    

    

No one present dared to answer her.    

    

The empress glanced at them and said, "Someone, come with me to the emperor's chambers!"    

    

However, the empress had never thought that she would be stopped outside the emperor's chambers.    

    

The empress's face was filled with rage as she said, "You blind servants, you actually dare to stop me? Get out of my way! "    

    

"Empress." Consort Lan came out from inside and said, "Why is Empress so angry? The Emperor has just rested. "    

    

The empress looked Consort Lan up and down with a cold smile. "I'm here to see the emperor. Who do you think you are!?"    

    

Consort Lan knew that she was scolding someone, so she did not get angry. She only said, "I know that Empress is worried about the emperor's health, but the emperor just ordered her to rest well. These servants are just following orders, so the Empress should not make things difficult for them."    

    

The sneer on the empress's face grew more obvious as she spoke, "Is that so? If the emperor doesn't see anyone else, can this palace follow? "    

    

With that, the empress was about to rush inside, but before Consort Lan could stop her, she heard the sound of someone smashing the vase to the ground.    

    

The empress stopped in her tracks.    

    

"Why are you making such a ruckus? "All of you, scram!"    

    

Hearing this voice, the empress's expression became extremely unsightly. She shot a fierce glare at Consort Lan, who was standing in front of her, and could only turn around and leave.    

    

Consort Lan broke out in a cold sweat.    

    

She walked in slowly. There was only one person on the bed who had his eyes wide open and one person left behind by Ann Tan.    

    

That person would have imitated the emperor. If that wasn't the case, letting the empress know that the emperor had passed away would be all over.    

    

At this moment, Zhou Qu had also received Ann Tan's secret letter. He had already arranged everything so that he could return to the capital in secret. After that, he would find Ann Wen and take care of other matters.    

    

Zhou Qu did as he was told.    

    

At that time, the Spring Festival was already slowly approaching, but due to the emperor's serious illness, the people inside the Capital City did not dare to celebrate unrestrainedly. They only silently tore down the old Spring Festival couplets at the door, preparing to post a new one next year.    

    

Lee Wanning finally found out about the gold bracelet and went to find a tailor on the street just as Consort Hua had said.    

    

At that time, Consort Hua was in her own bedroom.    

    

It has already been three days since the emperor left Consort Lan in his own palace. His Majesty's medicine was unceasing, but at night, someone actually heard the two of them playing the phoenix.    

    

Was this Consort Lan really not afraid of the name of the evil woman on her back?    

    

Or could it be that everything was just a sham?    

    

Just as Consort Hua was thinking this, she heard someone report that Lee Wanning wanted to see her.    

    

Consort Hua knew that Lee Wanning needed time to digest her identity, so she waited patiently these two days. Now, hearing Lee Wanning's news, she stood up from her chair.    

    

She looked at the person beside her and said, "Quickly, follow me out of the palace!"    

    

At this moment, Ann Wen suddenly received a piece of news. The emperor was already about to pass away, and knowing that his time was up, he had secretly brought Zhou Qu up.    

    

Ann Wen didn't believe it at first, but Zhou Qu suddenly appeared in front of him and confirmed the news. Ann Wen thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, the opportunity to make a move has come!"
