"The emperor did not ask you to take charge of the overall situation of the palace. The emperor's oral order before he left was to let the second prince succeed to the throne!" A voice sounded among the crowd in front of the hall.

The crowd in front of the ancestral temple was in an uproar!

"Who? Who's talking nonsense!" The Third Prince Zhou Jian shouted angrily, "Guards, arrest this guy!"

Five guards armed with swords rushed into the crowd and quickly dragged out a short and fat man with a white face and no beard. He was obviously a eunuch.

"Eunuch Liu, what do you mean?" The Third Prince, Zhou Jian, instantly forgot about Princess Shu. "Guards, drag this idiot out and behead him!"

"Zhou Jian, you're trying to usurp the throne. Are you worthy of our ancestors? How dare you stand before our ancestors' temple? You've imprisoned the Second Prince. Your wicked ambition is evident to all heaven and earth!" Eunuch Liu cursed as he was dragged away. "I, your old servant, have served Your Majesty loyally my entire life. I swear to heaven that every word I say is true. Do you dare to swear?"

"Lingchi death!"

The Third Prince, Zhou Jian, was furious and roared, "Cut this damn eunuch into pieces!"

The guard who dragged Eunuch Liu away pressed his palm on Eunuch Liu's mouth to stop him from speaking, but he didn't expect that Eunuch Liu would bite him hard, and the pain was so severe that he jumped!

"Who else has objections?" the Third Prince asked. "Who else is in cahoots with this eunuch?"

The Third Prince meant that anyone who had a problem with him was in cahoots with the eunuch and should be tortured to death. Now none of the princes and princesses in front of the Ancestral Temple dared to have any problem with him!

"I have a problem."

A voice broke the silence.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Wang Xiaohai who was following Princess Shu.
