I’m The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book

 Even if it was sunny in winter, it was still quite cold.

    Recently, the palace was not peaceful. Emperor Tiansheng was infected with the cold and couldn’t go to the court. The crown prince and the first prince took turns to serve the medicine in front of Emperor Tiansheng. Li Mingjin also went to see Emperor Tiansheng.

    In the past two days, Emperor Tiansheng's spirit had improved. Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin went to the palace to visit Emperor Tiansheng, fulfilling their responsibilities as a son and daughter-in-law.

    On the way to the palace, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin whispered how they would stand after entering the palace.

    Li Mingjin leaned into Luo Shuyu's ear and said, "The crown prince and the first prince will be here today."

    Li Mingjin would stick tightly to him every time they were in the carriage, and Luo Shuyu leaned against him habitually. He squeezed a date and put it in his mouth: "Why did Your Highness choose this day to visit the palace?"

Li Mingjin: "Of course it's because there are many people today."

Luo Shuyu smiled lightly: "I didn't expect Your Highness to be so humorous."

Li Mingjin reached out to his chin, motioned him to spit the date seed in his hand, Luo Shuyu didn't bother to move, just spit out the seed in his hand, and waited for Li Mingjin toss the date pit into the small bucket before wiping his palm with a handkerchief.

    Li Mingjin reached out to his chin and motioned him to spit the date pit into his hand , Luo Shuyu was too lazy to move, and directly spat out the date seed in his hand, and waited for Li Mingjin to throw the date seed into the small bucket and wipe his palms with a handkerchief.

    Li Mingjin said solemnly: "I'm very humorous every night, I'm afraid Yu'er has forgotten."

    Luo Shuyu couldn't help but give him a supercilious look: "Should we stand farther later? So as not to hinder the crown prince and the first prince from their filial piety.”

    Li Mingjin: “That’s exactly what I mean.”

    Luo Shuyu: “How they will stand later?”

    Li Mingjin thought for a while: "The one who sit on the edge of the bed must be the queen, and everyone else must stand, and the crown prince must stand beside the queen, so that their mother and son could talk to the emperor."

Luo Shuyu: "What about Concubine Lin?”

Li Mingjin: "She should stand at the edge of the bed where the emperor can see at a glance, and the first brother will stand beside her."

    Luo Shuyu: "Basically, no one else has anything to do with us." In his previous life, he stood behind and didn't pay much attention to these things. After all, every time he and Li Mingjin went to the scene was just out of formality, it was better to say that they went because of filial piety than to watch the fun, and they still had to become someone else’s background board.

    Li Mingjin: "Well, that's why we have to go today."

    Luo Shuyu also knew that Li Mingjin couldn't go to see Emperor Tiansheng alone. As long as he did this, the other people would definitely come up with countless reasons for him to want to ascend the throne, and they had to avoid this as much as possible.

    The two entered the palace while talking and eating. Before getting off the carriage, Li Mingjin helped Luo Shuyu to see whether there was any pastry crumb on the corner of his mouth, and Luo Shuyu helped Li Mingjin to pull out some of his hair, making him look a little more decadent and haggard.

    The two helped each other and took care of each other before getting out of the carriage.

    After entering the palace, they found that they came quite late. The queen, concubine Lin and others were all present, and the concubines were all standing outside blowing the cold wind and were not allowed to enter.

    In fact, Emperor Tiansheng really just contracted a cold. With several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital watching over him, there would be no major problems at all.

    Everyone present had different thoughts.

    Everyone wanted to know Emperor Tiansheng’s physical condition as soon as possible, so they would naturally know how to arrange the following affairs after returning.

    Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu went forward to kowtow to Emperor Tiansheng first, Luo Shuyu saw the face of Emperor Tiansheng clearly, he was much more haggard than he saw last time, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, there were more white hair than last time, he had no energy, as if he aged ten years overnight.

    No wonder the crown prince and the others were so anxious to come to fulfill their filial piety, they were afraid that Emperor Tiansheng would not be able to recover suddenly.

    But Emperor Tiansheng had obviously panted when he spoke.

    According to the timeline in his previous life, in the few years when Emperor Tiansheng's condition was relatively serious, the fight between the crown prince and the first prince became intense, and then gave the fourth prince an opportunity to take advantage of it.

    Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu died in the battle between the three major factions, which lasted for about five years.

    After the death of the two of them, the first prince failed in rebellion, and the fourth prince succeeded in saving himself. Less than three months later, the crown prince was deposed.

     After that, the fourth prince stayed with Emperor Tiansheng and handled the memorial for him. Emperor Tiansheng wrote an imperial decree to pass the throne to the fourth prince. He had no other princes to choose from. 

    The rest were just teenagers or underage princes. They were not as talented as the fourth prince, not as courageous as the fourth prince, and not as good as the fourth prince, so Emperor Tiansheng could only choose him.

    Now, the timeline was moving forward. Luo Shuyu didn't know if the first prince would rebel in advance. His uncle had military power and could control the imperial city very well, the could force Emperor Tiansheng to abdicate.

    At present, the fourth prince hadn’t gone to the north yet. Although Shen Mingyun was still making money, it was only a small amount of money. There was a hundred gaps away from the rich and invincible country. He didn't know if he would have the opportunity to go to the north.
