Chapter 889: The Madness of Min Weizhong

Li Tun fell ill and lapsed into a coma.

The imperial court was thrown into immediate chaos.

Outside the Yangxin Hall, it was already crowded with people.

The Imperial Physician was inside performing a diagnosis.

Min Weizhong and Li Hang were pacing back and forth in anxiety at this moment.

When the Imperial Physician came out, a crowd surged forward like madmen.

"How is His Majesty?"

"Physician."

One after another, they began asking in a clamor.

The Imperial Physician's expression was very grim; he shook his head: "His Majesty has a head ailment, the same as the late King."

"What?"

First published website:

Everyone's expression changed.

One must know, the previous king of the Li Dynasty, that is, the Hyeonjong, passed away precisely because of a head ailment; he was only thirty-four when he left!

Unexpectedly,

His Majesty had actually inherited this head ailment; suddenly, everyone was filled with worry.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Because it concerned the Great King, the Imperial Physician spoke with some reservation, but people had already understood the meaning of his words: that is to say, whether His Majesty could wake up this time depended entirely on his own fortune; if he could not wake up, then...

"My lords, for the time being, His Majesty is not in any immediate danger, but as for waking up, I fear it will still take some time."

The Imperial Physician stopped mid-sentence.

A crushing defeat at the border, the Great King in a faint.

The Li Dynasty was instantly plunged into chaos.

Queen Inhyeon fainted directly from crying upon hearing the news.

The sudden bad news also caught everyone off guard.

His Majesty is ill!

And no one knows when he will be able to wake up!

Min Weizhong immediately returned to his residence and summoned the prominent figures of the Western Faction to gather under one roof.

If it were said that he could endure when the Vice Minister Liu told him to keep a low profile, the situation was different now.

A group of people looked at one another.

"My lord, I believe it is time for us to counterattack!"

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Min Weizhong did not say much; he knew it was an emergency.

Everyone held the same thought.

Min Weizhong nodded.

"That's right, during this period, we have really given the Southern Faction too much face! They don't even know their own weight anymore!"

"My lord, Li Zhenzhu has suffered a crushing defeat, and the prestige of the Southern Faction has plummeted; this is the best time for us to strike back!"

Li Tun's sudden fainting was a heavy blow to the Southern Faction. Originally, Li Zhenzhu's defeat had already put the Southern Faction in the spotlight, but Li Tun still trusted them relatively well and did not move against their interests. Therefore, the Southern Faction had been relying on Li Tun to compete with the Western Faction, but now, all of a sudden...

Li Hang's expression was not very good.

At the same time.

Li Hang, Zhang Xuan, and others also began to gather together.

Zhang Xuan also had a gloomy face.

Zhao Shixi likewise lowered his head and remained silent.

The reason for Li Tun's fainting naturally went without saying.

The impact of the defeat at the border was the greatest, yet this matter was precisely something they, the Southern Faction, had bungled!

"The Western Faction will definitely launch a counterattack against us; this must be guarded against!"

Zhao Shixi said.

The atmosphere was very heavy.

"Speak up, everyone; what should we do now?"

Li Hang sneered: "Preserve it?"

He sighed: "If His Majesty cannot wake up, I fear we will be very passive. You all know Min Weizhong's methods!"

Li Hang said coldly: "Everyone knows this, but how to defend, how to defend is the point!"

Zhang Xuan said: "Vice Minister Liu has already represented Longyan in establishing Li Yun as the Crown Prince; this is our advantage, and it must be preserved!"

"We have no choice but to settle for the next best thing."

Zhao Shixi sighed.

The few of them looked at one another.

Min Weizhong was no ordinary person; how could he not seize such an opportunity? Moreover, the executive power was still in the hands of the Western Faction, and Min Weizhong's power remained great.

The three of them thought about it and concluded there was no other way.

The other two looked over in unison.

Zhao Shixi said: "His Majesty has fainted, and the court cannot go a day without a master. Tomorrow at court, we can offer an Admonishment for the Queen to rule from behind the curtain to protect the Crown Prince's legitimate status!"

The first reaction was that it was fake!

This fainting of Li Tun is definitely faked!

"Unconscious?"

Liu Zheng was also taken aback when he heard this news.

But soon, Liu Zheng sat down.

He is someone who knows the course of history.

Right, there is this part in the TV show!

His first reaction was to remind Min Weizhong that he must not be overly arrogant, and that he should leave some leeway when launching a counterattack.

Then, the Southern Faction would take power.

All of this was a trajectory Liu Zheng had anticipated.

He knew that next, Min Weizhong would arrogantly strike at the Southern Faction, and even want to kill Li Yun to eliminate future trouble, and that he wanted even more for Li Tun to remain in a coma forever and never wake up again! Because of this, he would be charged with treason and completely lose his governing power.

After that, it would be Queen Inhyeon being deposed and even driven out of the Wanggong.

The next day, Min Weizhong launched a fierce counterattack against the Southern Faction. Although the Southern Faction suggested that the priority should be to rule from behind the curtain before the King woke up, this still could not satisfy Min Weizhong's ambition. He announced at court that, according to the ancestral teachings of the Li Dynasty, Prince Li Yun should be handed over to the Queen to be raised.

This immediately angered the Southern Faction on the spot.

Sure enough.

Liu Zheng's prediction was correct.

Min Weizhong was furious and directly sent someone to fetch the royal seal to read out the joint indictment in public, throwing many members of the Southern Faction into prison.

For a time, the court of the Li Dynasty was filled with panic.

Li Yun was their last bottom line and their greatest asset; if he were adopted by the Queen, they would lose their only chance to make a comeback.

The Southern Faction resisted.

"Young Master."

Li Xuanya was once again in tears.

Li Xuanya had come to find Liu Zheng crying again.

This made Liu Zheng, who was watching the show, feel heartache again.

Younger brother?

Li Yun?

Liu Zheng hurriedly let her in and said with a bitter smile, "What is it again?"

Li Xuanya cried and said, "Young Master, you must save my brother, save him."

Liu Zheng asked, "Where is the child now?"

Li Xuanya shook her head.

Liu Zheng smiled and said, "Your grandfather wants to get rid of him?"

Li Xuanya wiped her tears and nodded.

At this moment.

Liu Zheng said, "Tell your mother she must protect the child, no matter what, understand? Go quickly!"

Li Xuanya nodded and ran out frantically.

For these past days, he had suppressed himself for too long, even to the point of almost going crazy!

That is correct.

The Li Dynasty was already in a state of extreme nervousness, and Min Weizhong had taken control of the internal defense at the first opportunity.

Finally, he could hold his head high!

He had just thrown more than a dozen members of the Southern Faction into prison! He had truly taken back everything he had lost in the past few days.

At this moment, he truly hoped that the King would never wake up again.

The man he is now is nothing but a madman!

He could walk sideways through the palace, and no one could control him!

Ambition is bred just like this.

Only now did he truly appreciate the charm of supreme power.

He walked through the Wanggong, his destination being the Penglai Gong where Zhang Yuzhen was! Behind him followed a group of sword-wielding guards, looking hurried.

He had only one goal.

Prince Yun!
