《Empresses in the Palace》E75
Episode 75
The ministers in the court asked the emperor to establish a prince as soon as possible. Some ministers asked for Hongli, and some ministers asked for Zhen Huan's son Hongluo.Minister Zhang Tingyu said that if Hongluo was made the crown prince, the emperor would be young and dependent on his biological mother in the future. He asked the emperor to give Zhen Huan death first, so that Zhen Huan would not be like Empress Lu and Wu Zetian in the future and control the government.
The emperor pretended to ask Zhen Huan about the establishment of an heir. Zhen Huan saw through the emperor's intention. On the one hand, she said that those who said that Hongluo was too young to inherit the throne were actually cursing the emperor. On the other hand, she said that Hongluo had mediocre qualifications and was not suitable to be established.Prince, only Hongli is worthy of such a great responsibility.The emperor smiled and said nothing.Hongli was named Prince Heshuobao, which was the first among the princes. Zhen Huan was very happy and hinted that Hongluo's prince position should be conferred by Hongli.Hongli was grateful to Zhen Huan for her help and became more filial.
Ye Lanyi hated the emperor for killing Yunli, pretended to favor him, secretly used warm love incense for the emperor, and tricked him into taking pills containing chronic poison cinnabar. The emperor was addicted to sex and could not extricate himself.The emperor ordered that the flower trees in Ninghui Hall, where Prince Guo lived during his lifetime, be cut down. Those flowers were a birthday gift from the late emperor to Yunli, and were later given to Zhen Huan when she was made a noble concubine. Ye Lan was reluctant to part with them and asked to transplant the tree.He went to his palace and hinted to Zhen Huan not to let the emperor go. Zhen Huan instructed Wei Lin to just give the cinnabar to Ning Bin.
The emperor suddenly became seriously ill. Wei Lin knew the reason but deliberately did not tell him.The emperor's health improved. When he met Yurao and Yuan Che, he came to the palace to pay respects and played with the sixth elder brother. Seeing that the two children had similar faces, he couldn't help but doubt the sixth elder brother's life experience, and he vomited blood and fell ill.The emperor's new favorite grandson agreed to have an affair with a guard, but was caught by Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin. Concubine Concubine Huang discussed with Zhen Huan that the matter must not alarm the emperor and let Zhen Huan handle it alone.
Zhen Huan deliberately told the emperor about the matter in a vivid and embellished manner. From here to there, the emperor remembered his mother's affair with Longkodo and became furious and became seriously ill.Xia Ji was ordered to use incense to charm everyone and collect blood from Hongluo's body, intending to test the blood again. Ye Lanyi, who was peeping in the dark, saw it and informed Zhen Huan.
