Chapter 246 Finale

As he had many things to do, Prince Shuo had no plans to deal with Pei Jingchuan for the time being. In his opinion, the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion no longer had the Duke of Yingguo, and the other people were insignificant.

As for Pei Jingchuan, he only had one year to live. His wife was a woman, and once her husband died, she would naturally be nothing. So for the time being, she did not take Pei Jingchuan and the others seriously.

But what he didn't know was that when he was about to ascend the throne, the Duke of Ying had already led his army to the outskirts of the capital, and the King of Qin had been lurking in the capital. Even the emperor's body in the palace had been replaced long ago, and the person lying in the coffin now was just a death row prisoner who had changed his appearance to look like the emperor.

The emperor had already been taken to the Duke's Mansion by Pei Jingchuan and his men, and Doctor Xuan was treating him. When the emperor saw the King of Qin appearing in front of him intact, he was moved and surprised, but he was less afraid. Perhaps because he felt that he had died once, he suddenly figured out many things.

"Prince Qin!" The emperor looked at him with tearful eyes and called out.

"Father!" The King of Qin followed the rules and took care of the Emperor. Although he responded to the Emperor respectfully, the Emperor could feel that the King of Qin's feelings towards him were very indifferent. He recalled what he owed him over the years and did not think that the King of Qin was wrong.

"It's my fault! I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you all these years. I shouldn't have blamed you for your mother's death. She loved me so much that she was willing to do anything for you. How can I blame you? I have been confused all these years!" said the emperor with tears in his eyes.

When the King of Qin heard this, his eyes trembled slightly, but he still said calmly: "My mother's death was not an accident!"

"What?" The grieving emperor looked up in surprise and looked at the King of Qin. He said tremblingly, "Hurry up... Tell me everything you know. Who is it? Who killed your mother?"

The King of Qin looked at the Emperor calmly. He thought about how Concubine Chun and Concubine Ru were competing for favor in the harem. Didn't he know anything about that? Back then, he doted on Concubine Mother. How many people regarded Concubine Mother as a thorn in their eyes? Didn't he know that?

Thinking of this, the King of Qin's eyes turned cold and he said, "Who is jealous of my mother? Who is afraid that my return to the capital will affect her son's position? Father! Don't you know?"

"I..." Upon hearing this, the emperor was speechless and even had a trace of guilt on his face.

Yes! How could he not know? He also suspected Concubine Chun and Concubine Ru, but their maternal families were powerful back then, and he did not want to shake the court, so he chose to deceive himself. He deceived himself that all this was an accident, and it was because the King of Qin was disobedient and insisted on going to the lake to play that Concubine Yun drowned in order to save her son. In order to convince himself of this truth, he even demoted his son to a remote fiefdom!

"Your Highness, the poison on the emperor is too deep. I can detoxify him and let him live, but..." At this time, Doctor Xuan interrupted.

"But what? Miracle Doctor, just tell me." King Qin looked at Miracle Doctor Xuan and said.

“But, the emperor might not be able to stand up in the future, and he cannot work hard. He must take good care of his body.” Doctor Xuan sighed.

"No problem! I no longer have the energy to work hard. After this, I will abdicate the throne to the King of Qin. As for those people, you can do whatever you want with them!" Before the King of Qin could speak, the emperor spoke first.

After dying once, he was no longer so attached to the throne. After hearing this, the King of Qin did not say much, but just nodded.

On the other hand, Prince Shuo was busy with the coronation ceremony. Originally, he should have prepared for the late emperor's funeral at this time, but Prince Shuo used the threat to the border of Daxia as an excuse, saying that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and hastily buried the late emperor. He also said that he would announce the dispatch of troops to guard the border during the coronation ceremony.

The people were all in a panic and didn't dare to say much, but the atmosphere in the capital had been a little depressed in recent days.

On the day of his coronation, the Duke of Ying just arrived in the capital. Under the arrangement of King Qin and Pei Jingchuan, the city gates were opened to allow them to force their way into the city.

The people were all very shocked. Didn't they say that the Duke of Ying had died in battle? What was going on now? And the King of Qin was still alive. Shouldn't the throne be inherited by Prince Shuo?

At this moment, Prince Shuo was wearing the dragon robe that had been prepared long ago, ready to accept the worship of all officials, but at this moment, the eunuch rushed in from outside and said, "Your Majesty! Something happened, the Duke of Ying is back!"

The ministers looked at the eunuch who came to deliver the message strangely. Isn't it a good thing that the Duke of Ying has returned? Why did they say something went wrong?

When Prince Shuo heard this, his face changed drastically, and he scolded in a deep voice: "On the day I ascended the throne, what nonsense are you talking about here!"

"Slave, no... no nonsense, the Duke of England and his entourage are already at the palace gate, and... and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and..." the little eunuch stammered.

"And me!" Before the little eunuch could finish his stuttering words, a voice familiar to all the ministers came from the entrance of the hall.

"Your Majesty!" All the ministers looked towards the door in surprise. There was a man sitting on the wheel, and behind him stood the King of Qin, the Duke of England, Pei Jingchuan, and several generals in armor.

Prince Shuo's eyes were shocked, and he looked at the scene in disbelief. After a long while, he finally reacted and said angrily: "How dare you! The late emperor has been buried in the imperial mausoleum, and you dare to bring a fake into the palace to pretend to be the late emperor!"

Although Prince Shuo didn't know what was going on, he knew that he absolutely could not acknowledge this person who was the same as his royal brother at this moment.

When the emperor saw Prince Shuo's shameless look, he lost his previous anger and asked in a deep voice: "You said I was a fake, but what about the King of Qin and the Duke of Ying? They didn't die in the battlefield at all, but you deceived the world. Even if I am gone, it should be my son, the King of Qin, who should succeed to the throne, not you, a traitor!"

Prince Shuo glared at them and slowly realized that he had been fooled. But before he could think of a way to deal with it, he saw the Duke of England ordering someone to throw out a head.

Although the blood had dried, he didn't know what secret medicine was used to preserve it, so that the face didn't change at all. He had recognized that this was the regent of Dayong! They killed the regent and defeated Dayong, but they deceived him and let him fall into their trap.

"Hahaha... Someone, come, kill them for me! The Duke of Yingguo, with the fake late emperor and the fake King of Qin, colluded with the enemy country and attempted to rebel. Someone, come! Kill them for me!" Prince Shuo laughed.

At this moment, he knew that no matter how he argued, it would be useless, so he simply accused them of a crime and had them killed. At this point, either the enemy died or I died. However, unfortunately, Prince Shuo's men were all killed in less than an hour of fighting with the Duke of England, and Prince Shuo was also captured alive.

"Someone come! Drag the traitor Prince Shuo to the city gate and behead him. Hang his head together with that of the Regent Prince Dayong at the city gate for three days!" The emperor gave an order and decided the final fate of Prince Shuo.
