Chapter 642 I Want Felix To Seed To The Throne (Part One)
When Felix arrived, the empress was already there. She was standing in the hall in white
undergarments, wearing no coat. With a mixed expression on her face, she looked worried. The mother
and son were nning to make the emperor sick and unable to recover from his illness. They thought
this would help the son ascend the throne justifiably. But, shattering all their dreams, the emperor woke
up unexpectedly.
Felix frowned slightly and said, "Mother, why did youe here with no coat or shoes? It''s freezing
outside, and you may catch a cold. I heard that Father has woken up. Is it true?"
The empress regained herposure and ambled towards the emperor. "Your Majesty, you finally
woke up. I have been so worried about you."
The emperor opened his eyes slowly and looked at the empress, uttering in a faint voice, "Gloria, I...
How long had I been asleep?"
"Your Majesty, you have been asleep for more than half a month. For all these days, I have been
waiting here and taking care of you for your speedy recovery. Now that you finally woke up, I..."
The empress wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Your Majesty, I am so d to see that you
are awake."
The emperor looked weak, but his heart was filled with hatred. The empress had set him up by
poisoning him, and now she was squeezing out tears for earning his sympathy. The emperor realized
the fact that thedy in front of him was a back-stabbing and double-dealing twister.
Although the emperor hated the empress in his heart, he didn''t show it on his face. He held the
empress''s hand, pretended to be weak, and said affectionately, "Gloria, I know you care about me a lot.
I''m getting weaker and weaker. I''m afraid I''m dying soon."
"Your Majesty, please don''t use such harsh words. I am certain that you will live a long life as the
emperor of the Bright Dynasty." The empress held his hand in turn. "Look, now you are awake! I am
sure you''ll be getting much better in the forting days."
The emperor shook his head and waved at Felix. "Felix."
"Father." Felix panicked as he saw the emperor awake. He quickly regained hisposure and knelt in
front of the emperor. "Father, I''m so happy to see you awake. I feel so relieved right now."
"I think it''s still early to say that you are relieved!" the emperor said, clearing his throat. "You will have to
bear the heavy burden of the throne."
Felix raised his head suddenly and looked at the emperor in disbelief. But suddenly, he got a sense of
realization that he was a bit overreacting. He quickly lowered his head, and said, "Father, you are the
emperor of the Bright Dynasty. I merely have to concentrate on my duties."
The emperor sneered in his heart, but he looked even more gracious. "You don''t have to say anything.
I''m well aware of my health. When I was in aa, I was fortunate enough to see thete emperor in
my dream. He said that he woulde soon to pick me up. I was about to meet him, but he said that I
still have something in my heart to be shared with my inheritor, so I''m awake."
"Father, please tell me. What would you like to share with me?"
The emperor stretched his hand to touch Felix''s head and said, "Just summon Franklin, Maxwell,
Matthew and Allen to the pce. I have decided to make an imperial edict to pass the crown to my
rightful inheritor."
Andy was shocked upon hearing the emperor''s words and felt that he missed a heartbeat. He thought,
''Has the emperor even lost hismon sense because of his illness? Otherwise, why on earth would
he decide to pass the crown as soon as he woke up? Although not in good health, he will not die in a
short time. Then why did he say that?''
"Well... Father, but I don''t think it''s the right time." Felix was a bit hesitant.

"What do you know about my health? I have been told by the imperial physicians that I''m in poor
health. Only when I hand over the throne and pass all my responsibilities to you, I will feel rest assured
of peace and tranquility as the retired emperor. In such a way, I can recuperate from illness and wait for
thete emperor to pick me up again." The emperor leaned against the back of the chair, his face
looking very calm and peaceful as that of a monk.
The empress was delighted. It was better that the emperor was willing to transfer the throne to her son,
so they wouldn''t be used of coercion and murder of the emperor. "Felix, just do as your father
asked. Summon the officials and princes here immediately."
"Yes, Father."
Felix immediately summoned the officials to the Imperial Pce. In the meantime, the emperor was
feeling so weak that it was difficult for him to even open his eyes. The empress had a weird feeling that
something wasn''t right. Yet, before she had time to figure out what was wrong, the emperor asked her
to send someone to fetch a nk scroll for the imperial edict.
Thus, the empress dispelled her doubts at once. She thought about the incidents that were about to
take ce, ''After getting the nk scroll, the emperor will write an imperial edict about passing the
crown to my son. Then the imperial seal will be stamped on the edict, and my son will officially be
the emperor of the Bright Dynasty.''
The empress was ted. After the nk scroll was brought, the emperor asked people to help him get
up. But unfortunately, he was too weak to stand up. Helplessly, the empress moved a small table to the
bed and ced the empty scroll on the table. She eagerly waited for the emperor to write about his
step down from the throne.
The empress even grinded the ink for the emperor to write his imperial edict. She was ingratiating
herself with the emperor, but thetter hated her to the core. He had doted on her so much, thinking
she was kind. But, never even in his dreams had he expected that she would have yed her trick on
him by letting him die of his illness, so that Felix could take the throne!
