Jiu Chitose handed over the matter of ice cubes to the young eunuch Ali, and then she ran to Mei Xiang, crying, and knelt on the ground with a bang, and walked with Mei Xiang on her knees.

When the two of them knelt down and walked away, there happened to be no one around, so Jiu Chitose took the opportunity to discuss the matter with Mei Xiang.

He had already had a plan in his mind, but he had never been able to find a chance to discuss it with Mei Xiang. Now that he finally had an opportunity, he asked anxiously.

"Did you know that the emperor took the pills you donated before his death?" Jiu Chitose asked with a tearful voice.

Upon hearing this, Mei Xiang's heart rose to his throat.

He knew that Kuchitose wanted to put the blame for the emperor's death on himself and make him the scapegoat.

Mei Xiang cried even harder! While crying, he shouted: "Your Majesty... I deserve to die for my crime... I deserve to die for my crime!"

"Your pills..."

Jiu Chitose still cried and said: "Old slave, I handed it over with my own hands. If the court finds out, we will not be able to get rid of the relationship... wu wu wu." Mei Xiang was frightened by Jiu Chitose's words. He knew that Jiu Chitose was going to do this.

Threaten yourself.

Mei Xiang quickly understood the meaning of Jiu Chitose's words, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He really didn't know what to do.

So he cried and asked: "Then... I wonder what Eunuch Jiu has to say?"

"Before the emperor passed away, he did not issue a posthumous edict..."

Jiu Chitose continued: "The emperor has always intended to... depose the crown prince and replace him with the 'Liang Prince' born to 'Concubine Ning'!"

When Mei Xiang heard Jiu Chitose's words, he immediately understood his intention.

"Wait a minute!" Mei Xiang suddenly stopped crying and asked timidly: "Are you going to...abolish the old and create the new?"

At this time, Jiu Qiansui also stopped crying and replied timidly: "The emperor's edicts and edicts in the past few years were all written by our eunuch who held the pen, and the seals are all with the eunuch who holds the seal. I will go back and look for them now.

If you look for it, you will be able to get the secret edict within half an hour..."

When Mei Xiang heard this, he immediately understood. His life was hanging by a thread and he had no choice. He had been led by the nose by Jiu Chitose and had no choice.

Decided to take a desperate risk and staged a drama of abolishing the establishment with Kyu Chitose!

Mei Xiang knows,

"Are you sure that... you can find the secret edict?" Mei Xiang asked.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find it!" Jiu Chitose patted her chest and assured, "I'm very familiar with the matter of drafting the imperial edict, so it's all right."

Mei Xiang: "Okay, let's go and take care of the secret edict. On the Prince's side, I'll delay it!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them immediately parted ways. Mei Xiang then knelt down and cried, wailing all the way into Lingxia Palace. After Jiu Qiansui got up, he immediately went straight to the study to "get" the secret edict.

After Mei Xiang climbed into Lingxia Palace, he knelt beside the dragon bed with the prince and He Xiang, and cried bitterly on the ground.

Although Mei Xiang had a plan in his heart, he still felt a little sad when he saw the prince and He Xiang crying miserably.

After a while, the Rabbit Prime Minister also came, followed by various ministers, ministers, censors, etc. also arrived one after another.

Seeing that all the officials of the fourth rank and above were almost here, He Xiang suddenly turned around, faced the prince, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Just as the ministers turned around and were about to join He Xiang in shouting long live, Mei Xiang suddenly shouted: "Slow down!"

Mei Xiang knew that this was the key moment to realize his and Nine Chitose's conspiracy.

With this shout from Prime Minister Mei, the crying and howling in the palace instantly stopped and it suddenly became silent!

Including the prince, everyone's eyes were unanimously focused on Mei Xiang.

Mei Xiang wiped away his tears, cleared his throat, and then announced very carefully: "The emperor... left a secret edict before his death!"

When Mei Xiang said this, he was both excited and anxious.

He knew that his words would cause turmoil in the entire court.

As soon as these words came out, the prince, the crane prime minister, the rabbit prime minister, and the ministers present were all dumbfounded, looked at each other, and started talking about it!

"Secret edict?" He Xiang swallowed his saliva and asked with a choked voice, "Why don't you know the truth?" He Xiang's words revealed his suspicion.

Prime Minister Mei: "They say it's a secret edict, how can we allow everyone to know about it?"

Mei Xiang's heart was in his throat, he was afraid that He Xiang would see through his plan.

"Mr. Mei Ge, you and I have been officials in the same court for so many years..."

He Bimei looked at Xiang Bimei's mouth and solemnly advised: "This matter... you can't talk nonsense!"

He Xiang's words made Mei Xiang very nervous. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility.

The prince on the side didn't say a word, still lying on the edge of the dragon bed, continuing to mourn.

The prince's cries seemed to reveal his suspicion, which frightened Xiang Mei.

Mei Xiang: "Whether this is nonsense or not, we will know when Eunuch Jiu gets the secret edict."

When Mei Xiang said this, he was expecting and uneasy in his heart. He knew that everything depended on whether Jiu Chitose could obtain the secret edict.

As soon as these words came out, the prince and He Xiang were shocked at the same time!

He Xiang was stunned, and the prince's cry also paused; they all knew that it was probably Mei Xiang who was colluding with Jiu Chitose to establish a new king!

At this time, Jiang Mingyu, led by Eunuch Hai, led two teams of royal guards to Lingxia Palace!

When Prime Minister Mei saw someone who dared to climb into the palace without kneeling, he reprimanded loudly: "How dare you be so rude and enter the palace with swords and shoes!"

Mei Xiang's words came from instinct. He really didn't expect Jiang Mingyu to appear at this time.

Jiang Mingyu was frightened on the spot when Mei Xiang scolded him like this!

Not only him, but also Eunuch Hai and Tuxlow were frightened and speechless.

Although Jiang Mingyu was confused, he still reacted quickly.

He once again took out the prison warrant in his arms and explained: "This official is on an errand according to the order, and I hope Lord Mei can forgive me."

Jiang Mingyu had mixed feelings in his heart. He was happy that the prince trusted him, but he was also troubled by Mei Xiang's questioning.

As soon as Prime Minister Mei saw the warrant to supervise the country and heard Jiang Mingyu say that he was carrying out an errand according to the order, he was dumbfounded on the spot!

He never expected that he would be called upon so suddenly. His plans had been completely disrupted by Jiang Mingyu's appearance.

Jiang Mingyu made He Xiang amused when he came out like this!

He Xiang saw that Jiang Mingyu's appearance was greatly detrimental to Mei Xiang, and he secretly rejoiced.

Feeling secretly happy in his heart, he seized the opportunity and quickly asked: "Could it be that... Mr. Jiang was carrying out an errand based on the late emperor's secret edict?"

Jiang Mingyu panicked when He Xiang asked him this, because he had no secret edict at all!

Jiang Mingyu thought to himself that he seemed to be involved in a complicated political struggle, and he had no idea why.

He was stunned on the spot, looking at the prince, speechless for a long time.

The prince's reaction was also very quick and he simply took advantage of the situation.

Asked: "The emperor dies, who should succeed him?"

He knew that with Jiang Mingyu's stubborn temper, he would tell the story in a scripted manner: the crown prince's succession.

Jiang Mingyu: "The emperor will be buried in heaven, so the prince should inherit the throne."

Sure enough, Jiang Mingyu's answer was every bit what the prince expected!

As soon as Jiang Mingyu finished speaking, the Crane Prime Minister immediately took the lead in paying homage to the prince and shouted long live. The Rabbit Prime Minister on the side also followed suit.

For a time, in the entire side hall, the ministers of the Crane Party and the Rabbit Party all shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live long live..." Only Prime Minister Mei and the ministers of the Mei Party remained silent.

Didn't pay homage to the prince.

Mei Xiang thought to himself: No, I have to help Eunuch Jiu delay the time until he gets the secret edict!

So Prime Minister Mei took the lead, pulling Mei Party officials to make a fuss, insisting that he would not pay homage to the new emperor until Nine Chitose read out the contents of the secret edict.

With this fuss, Mei Xiang completely risked himself!

He who shoots the bow without an arrow to turn around will die anyway, so why not just take a big gamble!

In less than half an hour, Jiu Chitose came back with the secret edict. Jiu Chitose felt very proud, thinking that the secret edict could save the situation.

When all the ministers saw the secret edict, they all knelt down and worshiped.

Jiu Qiansui quickly came to the dragon bed of Emperor Daxing, faced the ministers, and read the text of the secret edict loudly: "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says..."

The prince, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the beginning of the secret edict and immediately realized that the format was wrong!

After all, as a prince, he knows the format of various documents very well. The content of the secret edict should not be written like this, it is obviously the format of the imperial edict.

So the prince didn't wait for Jiu Chitose to finish reading. After standing up, he came to Jiu Chitose with a quick step and grabbed the secret edict with one hand!

After looking at it, he yelled: "You eunuch, you are so brave, how dare you correct the imperial edict!"

After finishing speaking, the prince grabbed the secret edict and slapped Jiu Chitose's left cheek!

"Look carefully at your face..."

The prince was so angry that he pointed his trembling right hand at Jiu Chitose, who had red writing on half of his face, and scolded: "Your secret edict was clearly written within half an hour, and the ink has not even dried yet!"

The prince's words completely exposed Jiu Chitose's lies, and Jiu Chitose was immediately horrified.
