After Head Imperial Physician Yang said these words, everyone was silent. Empress Dowager Yao asked rhetorically, "What are you asking for Aijia to prepare?"

Head Imperial Physician Yang lowered his eyes and stared at the floor motionlessly. The floor of Qianqing Palace were not made of gold, but were made with a special clay. Using this clay, the cost of a brick is no less than gold. Such 'gold bricks' are very hard, even if the people below dig tunnels and pry them with the sharpest dagger, they can't move any of the bricks.

The royal family are always so afraid of outsiders entering the palace to kill them, but they forgot that the killers were often in their own kin. No matter how thick the bricks are, what good is it?

It is indeed a coincidence that the emperor fell into the water, but the emperor himself said that he went out to play. When he fell into the water, he was with his own people. After returning, the emperor became more and more sick. No matter how you look at it, this is a tragedy of accidentally falling into the water, contracting wind and cold, and finally getting worse and endangering your life. Such tragedies happen every day and everywhere, and the only unusual thing is that the emperor's uncle Prince Jing is in the capital at this moment.

Coincidence? It's a coincidence. But what is the evidence? Empress Dowager Yao suspected that the emperor had been poisoned, so she changed imperial doctors one after the other, and even secretly brought in private doctors to see the Emperor. However, without exception, everyone said that the wind and cold attacked his lungs, which unfortunately triggered his old diseases, and whether he can survive depends on Buddha's will.

It is very common for a child to die. Empress Dowager Yao just didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to herself.

She has already prepared the funeral for her son. Now, she will also prepare her grandsons?

The Empress Dowager fell into deep thought. She had good temper over the years, and she was graceful and calm no matter what happened. Now, the soul of the Empress Dowager seemed to collapse suddenly, and deep wrinkles appeared on her face. Head Imperial Physican Yang realized at this time that the Empress Dowager is also an old person.

Head Imperial Physican Yang is old as well and is well over the age of retirement. Head Imperial Physician Yang took two steps back gently, his footsteps stopped, and the hem of his robes swayed leisurely under the wind. Head Imperial Physician Yang knew it would be unpleasant to say these things, but the reality must be said. If he didn't say it, no one would be able to say it.

Head Imperial Physician Yang lowered her eyelids and whispered, "The Empress Dowager must announce the Emperor's death. The country can't be left without an emperor for a day. It's time for you to think about the future."

It doesn't matter if the emperor is dead, whoever inherits the throne next is the most important thing.

The emperor was young and playful, leaving no heirs, and the former Emperor Xiaozong had no other sons. According to etiquette, in this situation, you should look for heirs from Emperor Shizong's line.

Among the many sons of Shizong, his eldest son Emperor Xiaozong, his second son Prince Xiang, and his third son Prince Teng have all died. According to the order of succession, it is Prince Jing's turn.

It just so happens that Prince Jing is now in Jinling.

Head Imperial Physician Yang pointed this out carefully. After speaking, regardless of whether Empress Dowager Yao heard it or not, he quietly retired.

Tang Shishi originally thought that her life was to raise a baby in peace, teasing her son, and from time to time use Buddhist beads to pretend to be worried. But her life changed suddenly.
