Chapter 984 is merely the last gasp of a spent force.
Chu Yueli and Prince Mo chose Consort Rui's Chunhe Palace, which initially shocked An Delu.
But Princess Mo said that the most dangerous place is actually the safest. He has no ability to protect the Emperor now and can only obey.
Consort Rui seemed to understand An Delu's doubts, and knelt down with a thud, saying urgently, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty, please see the truth."
"I heard from An Delu that you...speaked with the Empress before?" The Emperor sat up with An Delu's help and then realized that there were other people in the room.
His three sons, and Chu Yueli.
"The fourteenth prince?" The Emperor was startled!
Chu Yueli took Lu Qingnian's hand and walked to the bedside.
Lu Qingnian knelt down, his voice young but firm.
"Father, please accept my bow! I know that the Empress Dowager is plotting a rebellion, but I am powerless to stop it. However, my heart is with you, Father. I beg you to see the truth."
Lu Beimo and Lu Yunfei also came over.
Chu Yueli had just given the Emperor acupuncture. Although the Emperor was still in a daze, he knew what was happening.
If it weren't for Chu Yueli's miraculous healing skills, he wouldn't have woken up.
They had already trusted Chu Yueli and Lu Beimo.
At this moment, the emperor looked at the two of them.
Chu Yueli said, "Your Majesty, thanks to the cooperation of the Fourteenth Prince, the Empress believed that the one who died in Qiankun Palace was the Fourteenth Prince, and thus broke with Lu Ziling."
"The situation outside is extremely tense, with the Empress and Lu Ziling's people still locked in conflict, which is why we have had a brief moment of peace here."
But how long this peace can last, no one knows.
"Father, I have no other request but that you spare my mother's life after you regain power. I am willing to be demoted to commoners along with my mother, just so that she can live."
Lu Qingnian knelt down and kowtowed. His posture and tone were not those of a seven-year-old child.
The Empress trained him strictly from a young age, which made the Fourteenth Prince much more mature and composed than other children his age.
Chu Yueli and Lu Beimo simply watched the Emperor quietly without saying a word.
The emperor stared at his son, his feelings complicated.
What a pity, why is he the Empress's son?
The empress rebelled, yet her son remained loyal to her. If he were the son of another concubine, he might very well have been a promising talent in the future.
"Father," Lu Beimo, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "No matter what, we must first eliminate the Empress and her gang to ensure your safety."
Looking at Lu Beimo, the Emperor finally felt a little comforted.
His good son is now his only support.
"Mo'er, in your opinion, what should I do now?"
"The Empress's coup was actually a risky move for her. She couldn't take control of the entire court in one step, so she could only use the Emperor to command the princes, hoping to use the loyalty of the ministers to her father to gradually push the fourteenth prince to the throne."
“But now that Father has awakened, he can no longer be controlled by her. Her personal guards in the palace cannot run rampant for long. If Father issues an imperial edict immediately to recall his trusted personal guards to the capital, he can annihilate the Empress’s faction.”
The Empress did not have many troops in the capital. Her rebellion plan was exposed, and she had no way out. She was just at the end of her rope.
However, the emperor had his own standards, and at this moment, the most crucial thing was who he could trust.
