Chapter 454: The overall situation is determined, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit

Murong Jun suddenly woke up.

He turned away from his father with a confused look and turned to Madam Zhaohua: "Mother... my father..."

Murong Jun's voice trembled slightly. The death of the emperor still brought him a huge shock.

Madam Zhaohua interrupted him sharply: "Don't worry about it!"

There was no trace of sadness in her eyes. "We must call for help immediately!"

The opportunity was fleeting, and she no longer relied on her son. Instead, she rushed to the tightly closed palace door and pulled it open with force.

"Someone come quickly! The prince has disobeyed his father and attempted treason. The emperor... the emperor has passed away——!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a group of people quickly gathered outside the hall.

The situation is tense and murderous intent is lurking on every side.

The prince still stood there, without moving an inch.

It seemed as if the sound of weapons outside the palace had nothing to do with him.

He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face carefully.

Murong Jun came back to his senses. He looked at the prince with a haughty look on his face and said, "If you surrender, I will leave you with an intact body."

The prince laughed out loud, and the sound became louder and louder, leaving Murong Jun confused and Madam Zhaohua frightened.

"Shut up. You are still playing tricks when you are about to die. What are you laughing at?"

The prince looked at Murong Jun with contempt: "I laugh at my father's blindness and your stupidity."

"You--!" Murong Jun's face turned red with anger and he was about to curse.

Madam Zhaohua had a bad thought in her mind, but the prince dropped a bombshell: "Oh, by the way, my dear brother, are you satisfied with the 'gift' I gave you on the night of the Mohe envoys' banquet?"

Murong Jun's eyes widened with extreme shock and anger.

Huge shame and anger instantly overwhelmed him, "It's you! It's you, a sinister villain, who did it! Murong Chi! I will tear you into pieces!"

"That's enough! Jun'er!"

Madam Zhaohua was terrified at this moment, and the fear almost swallowed her up!

The prince was clearly surrounded and at an absolute disadvantage, how could he dare?

How dare he take the initiative to reveal this secret at this time?

Unless, he has nothing to fear!

This thought made her whole body cold, as if she had fallen into an icy cave!

"Shut up! Now's not the time to talk about this!"

She screamed at her son, her voice sharp and piercing, "Jun'er, kill him quickly, don't bother with him."

However, how could Murong Jun listen to it?

When he thought about how he exposed his body in front of so many people that day, he was about to go crazy.

"Mother! It's him! It's this sinister villain who ruined my reputation!"

"I told you to shut up!"

Madam Zhaohua was so anxious that she almost vomited blood. At this critical moment of life and death, Jun'er was still worrying about his face that could no longer be saved?

How could he be so confused?

Madam Zhaohua looked at her son who was overwhelmed by hatred and knew that she could not delay any longer!

If we delay any further, there will be even greater variables!

She quickly gave orders to the people outside the palace gate: "Quick! Kill this traitor who murdered the emperor and plotted treason for me! Execute him on the spot! To comfort the emperor's spirit in heaven."

Those people took action upon hearing the order!

The sword flashed coldly and walked inside with murderous intent.

However, the prince still stood there, not even raising his eyelids.

He just opened his thin lips slightly and uttered two words clearly and steadily: "Do it."

These two ordinary words seemed to have lit an invisible fuse, and a shocking scene occurred!

Among those "own people" who were originally standing behind Madam Zhaohua and were about to pounce on the prince, nearly half of them turned against him.

“Puff!”

"ah--!"

At the same time, a group of people seemed to emerge from the shadows of the temple, the corners of the corridors, and even on the roof!

Swords flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere!

Madam Zhaohua was so shocked by this sudden reversal that she stood there in shock!

"Prince! You have been prepared!"

She looked at the young man in disbelief. It turned out that their carefully planned plan to force the emperor to abdicate had been in the other party's hands from the very beginning!

They are the ridiculous, self-righteous turtles trapped in the jar!

The prince's eyes were full of contempt: "You guys really think you can frame me?"

"Without your father, you are nothing."

“You are shameless!”

Murong Jun roared, "Do you think you're sure to win?!"

"dream!"

"There are tens of thousands of Jiang family soldiers outside the palace! Mother, hurry up! Let's rush out! We still have a chance!"

He reached out to grab Madam Zhaohua and was about to run, but the prince said coldly: "Those people have probably been killed by the elite troops of the Northern Camp and the troops from the Northwest who came to defend the king."

He pronounced their fate word by word: "You lose."

"Completely."

The last sentence completely shattered Madam Zhaohua's will.

The supreme position that was within her grasp turned into nothing in an instant, slipped away from her fingers forever, and could never be touched again!

The winner takes it all!

Without the emperor's favor and protection, she really can't do anything!

She is not willing to give in!

But the huge blow and complete despair completely overwhelmed her.

Her eyes suddenly went dark, her body collapsed limply, and she lost consciousness.

-

Madam Zhaohua and her son launched a coup d'état and forced the emperor to death.

The prince remained calm in the face of danger and successfully suppressed a crisis that could have overthrown the country within the palace.

Except for those who were killed on the spot, all the other members of the Chiang and Chen families who participated in the treason were thrown into prison and awaited the final verdict.

Madam Zhaohua and Murong Jun, the ambitious mother and son, also became prisoners.

Regardless of whether they are dead or alive in the end, their endings are already settled and no longer have any weight.

The ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement is being prepared in full swing, and the majestic palace is about to welcome its new owner.

From now on, the prince is no longer a chess piece, but the chess player. He will step onto the supreme throne alone and continue to move forward.

On this day, the crown prince issued an edict, summoning Lu Jiangnian to the palace.

Yuan Wanru looked at him with bright eyes: "I don't think the prince will agree to your request."

The prince relied heavily on Lu Jiangnian. On the second day after the coup, he asked Lu Jiangnian to enter the palace to help clean up the mess.

Although he has not been granted any official position for the time being, any discerning person can see that Lu Jiangnian is highly valued by the prince and his future rise to prominence is just around the corner.

However, Lu Jiangnian has lost interest in a career in politics.

He felt that things in the capital were almost done, and he planned to propose to the prince today that he wanted to live a carefree life.

Lu Jiangnian patted her head and said, "Don't worry, no one can shake my determination."

"He will agree."

Yuan Wanru certainly hopes that her wish will come true.

"Have you told your parents?"

They could not ignore Lu Song and Wang Min's opinions.

Lu Jiangnian shook his head: "No hurry, I'll report to my parents when I get back today."

Yuan Wanru nodded, stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his cheek: "Wait for you to come back."

He held her in dissatisfaction, not letting her leave: "That's it?"

"My dear, if I can successfully resign, why don't you give me some sweet treats?"

She glanced at him: "What bad idea do you have?"

He whispered a few words in her ear, and she could faintly hear something like "in the water", "satisfaction", etc. Yuan Wanru blushed with shame, but still nodded in agreement.

Lu Jiangnian smiled with satisfaction.

My wife is just soft-hearted~
