Chapter 804: Grant a Marriage (5)

Everyone in the harem was on tenterhooks. How could the empress fall seriously ill all of a sudden? It was probably because the crown prince had fallen, and the empress no longer had anyone to rely on for the rest of her life. The empress had lost her beloved son, so she would probably hate Emperor Wen Hui. Emperor Wen Hui naturally had to be wary of her. Only they knew if the empress was recuperating and locked up because of illness.

If the empress fell, who would replace her? It seemed that Consort Xu had the highest chance of winning. Emperor Wen Hui doted on Consort Xu, and Consort Xu had two sons. Prince Zhou, Prince Jing, and Prince Li fought to the death, but after all, Prince Li did not have a mother who was doted on by the emperor.

Prince Zhou and Prince Jing could be considered to have the right time, place, and people.
