Chapter 252 The Prince Was Imprisoned

Murong Li's eyes moved slightly, and only then did he let his mother come out, thinking that she would be pardoned together with him.

Originally, there were people left in the capital, but because Luo Dinghai asked them to help find his son, he withdrew them and there was no one left in the capital.

There weren't many people left in the capital originally, and staying too many might cause more trouble.

Murong Li: "Yuer, you stay here and look after Father. I'll go and make some arrangements."

"Go ahead, I'll be fine here."

Only then did Murong Li open the door of Taigan Palace.

The personal guards (hereafter referred to as personal guards) who were surrounding outside saw the door open and saw that the person who came out was not the prince, but Murong Li.

The commander of the personal guards, Wu Zhengyi, looked at Murong Li vigilantly. With a wave of his hand, the personal guards immediately surrounded him, pointing their weapons at him. Wu Zhengyi glanced into the hall and saw the prince lying on the ground.

Wu Zhengyi's heart choked, and the long sword in his hand shook unnaturally. He waved his hand and the guards took a few steps back.

Murong Li held the jade token in front of the guards and said solemnly, "Seeing this jade token is like seeing the emperor. Are you planning a rebellion?"

The guards were horrified when they saw the jade token. They knew the prince's plan had failed, and they all knelt in fear: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and long live the prince!"

"Who is the commander among you?" Murong Li did not ask anyone to stand up, but asked while looking at the guards.

Wu Zhengyi raised his head and bowed, saying, "General Wu Zhengyi greets Prince Li. I am the commander of the personal guards."

Murong Li said coldly, "Well, take the prince to the Heavenly Prison immediately and keep him under strict guard. If he escapes or dies, you will execute him and his entire clan."

These people cannot be killed now. The guards only recognize jade tokens, not people.

But afterwards all these guards had to be cleaned up.

"yes."

Wu Zhengyi was sweating profusely. Their previous behavior was equivalent to rebellion. He thought Murong Li would chop them to pieces, but he didn't expect to escape. He was so scared that he almost had a heart attack.

Murong Li...you're dreaming. We'll have to settle the score later. Now is the time to use him, so just keep him for now.

Wu Zhengyi quickly stood up and waved his hand. All the guards followed him into Taigan Palace, lifted the prince from the ground, and headed straight for the Heavenly Prison.

After the guards left, Murong Li called out, "Where is the chief eunuch?"

At this time, an old eunuch came out trembling from a corner and knelt down with a plop: "Your servant Lai Xi greets Prince Li. May you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

He was the new chief eunuch promoted by the crown prince, but before he could even get comfortable in his position, the crown prince fell.

As expected, things in the palace always change rapidly. One moment he is a high and mighty person, and the next he becomes a prisoner.

He will definitely suffer today. Lai Xi's heart was beating fast, wondering how Murong Li would punish him.

Murong Li knew that these people were the prince's men, but the prince had fallen, so what waves could these people make? He just used them boldly.

He stared at Lai Xi and said, "Eunuch Lai Xi, there's no one serving the emperor. Send someone over immediately to serve him. Now that the emperor has woken up, tell the imperial kitchen to prepare some light meals. Also, summon the imperial physician who usually takes the emperor's pulse to the palace, and summon all the civil and military officials to the palace to see the emperor."

"Yes, I will do it right away."

Lai Xi's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that the emperor had woken up. No wonder the guards didn't dare to act rashly after the crown prince fell.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. He knew the emperor very well. He was a man who could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. When he got better, he would definitely hold the prince's party accountable.

But no matter what, we must now complete what King Li has instructed us to do.

He was forced to obey the prince. As long as he behaved well and did his best, he believed that the emperor would not make things difficult for him, a eunuch. Besides, he had not done anything treasonous.

Murong Li waited for a while, and then two young eunuchs came running over.

"Just go in and serve."

Before the two men knelt down, Murong Li spoke directly.

"Yes, I obey your order."

The two eunuchs entered Taigan Palace trembling with fear.

After making the arrangements, Murong Li went to the cold palace alone.

There is still some time for civil and military officials to enter the palace, so go and pick up my mother first.

Before being banished to the cold palace, his mother was Concubine Yun, who was conferred the title by the emperor.

Their mother-son relationship is very ordinary, unlike the mother-son relationship of ordinary people, where there is no affection.

At this time, at the gate of the palace, civil and military officials were already waiting. They had already received the prince's order and were waiting to pass it into the palace.

The prince's goal was to let Murong Li enter the palace and let him take the blame. Then he would lead all the civil and military officials to attack Murong Li and kill him on the spot. He would take this opportunity to ascend the throne as emperor.

Everything was planned well, but Murong Li suddenly attacked and easily captured the prince.

Among these ministers, at least half of them knew about the prince's actions. They were sure that the prince would succeed, and now they were waiting calmly.

The other half of the ministers did not know this. At this moment, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, looking towards the palace gate from time to time. They did not want to hear the funeral bell ringing in the palace, and even more did not want to hear any bad news.

Just when everyone was extremely anxious, suddenly Eunuch Lai Xi came running hurriedly. The ministers knew that he was the newly promoted chief eunuch, serving the emperor.

Everyone rushed forward and surrounded him happily.

"Eunuch Lai Xi, how is the emperor?" a minister asked impatiently.

"Eunuch Lai Xi, is it the prince's order to let us enter the palace?" Tutor Jun also stepped forward and asked.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo, I'm so tired. No, that's not it. Prince Li has conveyed the emperor's oral order. The emperor wants to see all the adults. Everyone, please follow me."

Eunuch Lai Xi didn't even take a breath, he spoke breathlessly.

"What are you talking about, eunuch? Is the emperor awake?"

A minister immediately grabbed Lai Xi's shoulders and asked.

The man's grip was quite strong, causing Lai Xi's shoulders to hurt. He shook off the man's hands and said, "Yes, the emperor has woken up, and the prince has been thrown into the sky prison. Sir, please follow the Sha family into the palace quickly, and don't keep the emperor waiting too long."

I didn't want to say that the prince was thrown into the sky prison, but these ministers didn't seem to believe him.

If he delayed any longer, he would not be able to bear the emperor's wrath.

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers gasped and hurriedly followed Eunuch Lai Xi into the palace, but each of them had his own thoughts.

In just one afternoon, the emperor woke up and the prince was thrown into prison. It was a bolt from the blue.

I thought things were going to change today, but I didn't expect such shocking news.

When the leading Tutor Jun heard this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His whole body was cold. The prince was thrown into the sky prison, which meant that his plan had failed. What should his Jun Mansion do then?

The news came so suddenly that it was too late to go back and report it.
