Prince Zhu asked someone to bring Zhu Jingshu (the third old lady) to Princess Chang's mansion.

When she entered the emperor's bedroom and saw her own brother, the emperor for whom she had devoted her entire life, she was unable to even stand up.

"Your Majesty..." Zhu Jingshu threw herself on the dragon bed, tears streaming down her face.

She was really scared. How long could the emperor live in this condition? Whether she and her son could gain a foothold in Canglan depended entirely on the emperor's will.

They are real siblings.

If the emperor passed away, the crown prince would not give them and their son a good life.

Ever since she returned to the country, the prince has never treated her well and only respected her as aunt at the emperor's request.

Emperor Canglan reached out and held Zhu Jingshu's hand with difficulty.

"Royal sister..., is your heart... with Canglan?" Emperor Canglan was indeed grateful to this sister.

When his imperial sister left, he was already eleven years old. Before leaving, his mother told him that his imperial sister was paving the way for him.

The two siblings maintained correspondence for decades.

She wrote letters to tell him everything her sister did in Wei.

But now the Wei Dynasty has forced Canglan into a desperate situation.

"Your Majesty, I am your biological sister. How can you doubt my loyalty? How much have I done for Canglan over the years?

The eldest prince of Wei was crippled by my mother and I, and we also crippled the prince of Rong Palace. We also pushed my own grandson to the throne of prince.

We stole the iron box twice. If the person you sent to pick it up wasn't incompetent, we would have gotten it the first time.

It doesn't matter if we lose, we can steal again.

If I hadn't missed the chance to drink the contraceptive soup back then, I would never have given birth to Zhe'er. I've done so much for Canglan, isn't it enough?

Your Majesty, I will always remember what the Emperor said to me back then.

As long as I can do what he has arranged, I will make my mother the virtuous concubine, and I will make you the crown prince in the future.

I did it.

You also sit on the throne.

Your Majesty, my mother and I have worked hard for Canglan.

In order to bring the iron box back to Canglan, Zheer abandoned his wife and children. Isn't he doing enough? "

Zhu Jingshu cried and complained.

"Aunt, the emperor is now in a difficult situation. Just look at this." Prince Zhu did not feel much sympathy after listening to her crying.

As a royal princess, isn't it my duty to make sacrifices for the royal family?

He handed her the two letters from the credential and the letter written by Shangguan Ziqi.

Zhu Jingshu took it, read it quickly, and then fell to the ground.

"No, no, Your Majesty, you can't spit us out.

It was with great difficulty that I managed to fake my death and return to Canglan. I had lived in fear all my life, and only after I came back did I live a peaceful life for a few months.

I am already sixty years old, how many years can I live? Please let me live out the rest of my life in peace."

Zhu Jingshu didn't want to die, so she got up, threw herself on the bed and begged.

She has done so much for Canglan, how could she die?

Emperor Canglan was heartbroken when he heard her crying and begging. He had never doubted his sister's loyalty to Canglan.

He also placed people around the imperial sister, and received news many times that the imperial sister was working hard to help Canglan.

But what should he do to save his sister?

Emperor Canglan waved his hand.

Prince Zhu ordered someone to take her away first.

"My son..., find someone who is good at speaking..., and negotiate peace with Wei..., and try to save your aunt... If I had not ascended the throne..., you would not have been crowned the crown prince." Emperor Canglan said intermittently.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prince Zhu also understood what the Emperor meant.

If you can insure it, insure it; if you can’t, you have to give up.

"My son..., please write a confession of guilt for me. My health is almost failing..., all the blame... will be borne by me. I... now apologize to your royal ancestors." Emperor Canglan had no other choice but to apologize to the people and ancestors of Canglan.

"Your Majesty." Prince Zhu opened his eyes wide in surprise.

I didn't expect that the Emperor would take all the responsibility on himself.

This is paving the way for his future.

If he waited until he came to the throne to write the edict of repentance, it would have a great impact on his throne.

Now that the emperor has taken on this responsibility, it will be of great benefit to him.

"Go ahead. Take me to the ancestral temple... I want to confess in front of... the ancestors of the Zhu family."

After Emperor Canglan finished saying these words, his body relaxed and the gray and miserable look on his face became even thicker.

Like a dying old man, waiting for the last moment to come.

Zhu Jingshu was sent back to the Princess's Mansion.

Zhu Hongzhe was waiting in the mansion.

"Mother?"

Zhu Jingshu shook her head and didn't want to say anything.

She had seen that the emperor's health was failing and he probably wouldn't last much longer.

There is no way that the Great Wei would let them and their son go.

Zhu Hongzhe knew from looking at his mother's expression that it was not a good thing.

"Zhe'er, find a way to escape, as far as you can. Mother is old and can't protect you anymore. The Rong Palace of the Great Wei requires that we mother and son be taken back to the Rong Palace."

Zhu Jingshu suppressed her grief and anger for a long time before speaking.

"Mother, what did my uncle say?" Zhu Hongzhe looked expressionless.

A few days after he brought the iron box back, he received news that the Wei Dynasty had used bombs to capture the city, and he knew that he and his son were doomed. But he had no way out.

"Your uncle doesn't have much time left, so you should make plans early."

Just as the mother and son were discussing how to escape, the leader of the guards outside the mansion rushed in.

"My lord, I'm sorry, the prince has to find you a new place to live."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Hongzhe felt bad.

"It's nothing special. We're just giving you a better place to live." The leader smiled dazzlingly.

"Zhe'er, go quickly." Zhu Jingshu immediately stood in front of her son and told him to escape now.

But with so many people around, how could he escape?

In the end, he was caught and thrown into jail.

The noble eldest princess was left crying on the ground.

Shangguan Ziqi also got the news quickly.

Just a wicked laugh, you deserve it.

This is just the beginning. Once they return to Wei, it will be their hell on earth.

After several days of observation and investigation, Shangguan Ziqi also learned that Emperor Canglan wanted to repent in the ancestral temple.

"Master, this is a good opportunity." Qingfeng came back from outside with an excited look on his face.

They came to Canglan this time with a hundred black balls.

After a period of research and exploration, the prince has become better and better, and his power has become greater and greater.

It is estimated that the black balls they brought can blow the Canglan Palace into ruins.

"Well, you should all be careful these days. The emperor is traveling and the guards are tight. The whole city will probably be under martial law.

Don't let anyone discover our whereabouts. Also, have a few brothers find a way to sneak in. Then listen to my signal and act in unison."

Shangguan Ziqi certainly would not miss this good opportunity.

As long as the emperor leaves the palace, everything will be easy.

Ever since Prince Jing and his men sneaked into the palace and dropped several bombs last time, the entry and exit of the palace have been checked more strictly, and the guards and patrols inside have also become more frequent.

He had secretly checked the place the second night after he arrived. It was not easy to sneak in.

If he was the only one going in, it wouldn't be a big problem, but his strength alone was not enough. He couldn't kill with one strike.

Now that Emperor Canglan has come out, and in the ancestral temple of the Tang Dynasty, the royal family members and important ministers will definitely follow him.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month.

The weather is gloomy, a sign that snow is about to fall.

However, Emperor Canglan's carriage did not leave the palace on time due to the weather.
