The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 453 Let me go to the west soon

He didn't know whether he was glad that the Emperor of Northern Qi was not dead, or he felt relieved after being sure that the Emperor of Northern Qi was not dead. In short, he felt very conflicted.

It must be said that the emperor had always loved him very much. When he issued the order to poison him, he was a little impulsive. But in order to protect his own cause, he had to harden his heart.

The Northern Qi emperor was supported by a young eunuch, and he looked more than ten years older. His eyes were a little cloudy, but he still stared at Situ Lian, "I'm not dead, are you disappointed?"

Situ Lian had a blank expression on his face and bowed slightly, "I dare not."

"Don't dare? Humph!"

Although Situ Yue was also shocked, he quickly reacted. He ran to the Northern Qi Emperor and hugged his thighs, "Father, Father, I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried about you. It was the crown prince who poisoned you and wanted to usurp the throne. Look, Zhuge Wenqing is holding the imperial edict in his hand. Father, the crown prince has a vicious mind. He wanted to usurp the throne while you were still alive. He is a disloyal and unfilial person."

The Northern Qi emperor was very annoyed by the hug on his thigh, but he couldn't pull it out. He winked at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately stepped forward and helped Situ Yue up.

Situ Yue pretended to wipe the corner of his eyes, "Father, it's great that you are still alive."

The Northern Qi Emperor approached Situ Yue and asked, "Are you happy that I am alive?"

Situ Yue nodded hurriedly, "Of course, Father."

"Snapped!"

The Northern Qi emperor slapped him with all his strength and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, the young eunuch next to him supported him.

Situ Yue stroked half of his face with one hand and looked at the Northern Qi Emperor in disbelief, "Father?"

The Northern Qi Emperor gasped for breath, and pointed with trembling fingers at Situ Yue and Situ Lian who was watching coldly from a distance, "You, all of you are hoping for my death!"

“Your Majesty, please calm down!” “Your Majesty, please calm down!” “Your Majesty, please calm down!”

"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!"

·······

Civil and military officials knelt in front of the hall.

The Northern Qi emperor slowly walked to the top and sat on the dragon throne. He squinted at the imperial edict in Zhuge Wenqing's hand, sneered, and did not ask how Zhuge Wenqing got out of the palace. Instead, he looked at the ministers, "Are you curious, my dear ministers, whether this imperial edict is true or false?"

The officials kneeling in the hall bowed their heads one after another, "I dare not!"

"Don't dare? Haha." The Northern Qi Emperor swept these people one by one with his cold eyes. I wonder what he felt in his heart. These were all old ministers who had followed him for many years.

Finally, his eyes fell on Situ Lian, who was not at all flustered. "Prince, tell me, is this edict true or false?"

Situ Lian raised the corners of her lips slightly, seemingly not caring about the Northern Qi emperor's attitude at all, "Shouldn't father be the one who knows best about this matter?"

"Oh, oh, yes, I know best." The Northern Qi emperor covered his mouth and coughed a few times before continuing, "My dear ministers, there is no need to speculate. I tell you, this edict is true!"

Situ Yue stood up suddenly, "Father!"

He never thought that even at this point, his father would still help Situ Lian. His biased heart was really beyond measure.

The Northern Qi Emperor did not look at him, his eyes were fixed on Situ Lian, "How did you find it?"

Situ Lian stood there, saying nothing.

"Or has this been your mother's plan from the beginning?"

The ministers in the palace began to whisper to each other. The late queen had passed away for many years, so how was she involved with this imperial edict?

"Mother is just worried about me and wants to give me another support."

"Another support? Good, good. I love her, respect her, and even favor her, giving her enough honor. Even when she is about to leave this world, in order to make her feel at ease, I specially left this decree to make her feel at ease. Because I know that this is what she cares about the most, and what she is most worried about is you. But I never thought that my sincerity would be fed to you two ungrateful mother and son. You! You actually want to poison me."

Situ Lian raised her eyelids slightly, "Father, you can't say that. Over the years, I have respected and loved you."

The Northern Qi emperor suddenly threw the heater in his hand towards him. Zhuge Wenqing quickly blocked the heater. The heater hit the ground in the hall with a dull sound, which was particularly harsh, making all the officials in the hall feel even more depressed.

"Respect and love? Is this how you respect and love me? Poison me? So that I can die soon? Is this how you love and respect me?"

Situ Lian then looked the emperor in the face, with no emotion in his eyes at all, as if he was a wooden man without any feelings.

"What about father? For so many years, you have been openly loving me and giving in to me in everything. So many people wanted you to abolish the crown prince, but you did your best to protect me. I thought this was your love for me and for my mother. But in the end, you grounded me and got angry with me for just a dragon robe. Are you really sincere to me? Or do you care more about the position you are sitting on now? The reason you let me be the crown prince is because I am weak and cannot compete with you for the position for the time being."

"You! Cough! Cough! Cough!..."

The cough of the Northern Qi emperor sounded particularly harsh in the hall, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. The eunuch beside him kept helping him breathe, trying to ease his discomfort.

The Emperor of Northern Qi never imagined that his son, whom he had high hopes for and whom he protected with all his heart, actually missed him so much. It was really... heartbreaking.

He didn't want to waste time talking to him. "Since you think so, I have nothing to say. Although this edict is true, I wrote it to let the late queen pass away peacefully. Many years have passed. Crown Prince Situ Lian has no respect for the law, has killed innocent people, and embezzled military pay. The evidence is complete. Now I will deprive him of his status as crown prince and confine him to the crown prince's mansion."

He really hasn't figured out what to do with the child he has loved for so many years. Should he lock him up first and then make a decision?

"Tsk!" Situ Lian laughed, "Father, you still don't understand the situation? Everything inside and outside the palace has been controlled by your son. Now it's not up to you to do whatever you want."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were rustling sounds coming from all around. Those with sharp eyes had already seen that many soldiers in armor and holding weapons had surrounded the entire hall.

The Northern Qi emperor naturally saw it, and asked, "Are you going to rebel?"

"If Father insists on thinking this way, that's fine."

"You! Rebellious son!"

"Father is old, wouldn't it be better for him to retire early and enjoy his old age? Why do you have to occupy this position? You clearly said that one day this position would be handed over to me, sooner or later, so why not now?"

"You have no moral integrity, no talent, and no character. Why should I give this position to you?" The Northern Qi Emperor's chest heaved violently, and it was obvious that he would not be able to hold on for a few more days.

"Haha, I have no morals, no talent, and no character? Then who has? Situ Yue, that loser?"

Situ Yue also began to worry at this moment, because his people were not in the palace.

Situ Lian glanced at him and sneered again, "Does father still think that you are the one with virtue, talent and character? Has father forgotten how you came to be the emperor?"
