Chapter 54 Assassination



The Crown Prince remained silent, his eyes piercing through the crowd as he stared intently at the Emperor.

He walked step by step toward the Golden Palace, his steps even carrying resentment and anger.

Lin Wanwan never expected that she had only slightly eased his inner demons, yet his inner demons possessed so much evil energy.

The Emperor and Empress stood in the main hall, already drenched in sweat from fright.

Before long, the Empress stood in front of the Emperor, but he pushed her aside.

"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" someone shouted, and the Imperial Guards at the door rushed in.

The Emperor shouted, "All of you, leave! It's alright!"

His palms trembled.

In the past, countless times the image of the Crown Prince assassinating him had flashed through his mind.

But because of the Empress, they all gave up the idea.

He's so stupid!

Mother, please let your daughter go quickly!

If the two emperors were to commit regicide, his position as crown prince would be permanently lost.

[Hurry! Your daughter would never hurt herself.]

[Waaaaah, can anyone hear me?]

Lin Wanwan was about to cry.

The crowd was already in complete chaos.

Ye Lanyin gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and rushed towards the Second Prince, who was also heading towards the main hall, while holding Lin Wanwan.

After a period of chaos, many people fell to the ground.

Ye Lanyin endured the pain and held her daughter closer to the Second Prince, but unexpectedly, the Crown Prince was also knocked down.

After struggling for a few moments, the second prince's body became noticeably stiff, and he stood up as if he had no soul.

Lin Wanwan used all her strength to tightly grasp the Second Prince's sleeve, and then gently touched his brow.

The second prince's originally bloodshot eyes instantly dimmed.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Lanyin ran up to the Crown Prince and shouted, "Crown Prince, what are you doing? That's your father!"

The Emperor is a wise ruler. Under his rule, the Holy Kingdom, though not in a hurry to conquer, enjoys peace and prosperity.

How could such an emperor die like this?

If the crown prince succeeds in assassinating the emperor, he will become the next crown prince!

At that time, the entire Holy Kingdom will be in trouble, not to mention he has the protagonist's halo.

When Consort Zhao saw it, she was terrified.

She rushed down from upstairs and grabbed the prince, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Are you tired?

"Shall I take you back to rest?"

As he spoke, he disregarded everyone else and forcefully tried to pull the prince away.

But now he was possessed by his inner demons, so it wasn't that easy. He shook off Consort Zhao's hands and walked up the steps again, step by step.

Ye Lanyin was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat.

[Mother, shout for help!!!]

"Help! Help! Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor! The Crown Prince is trying to assassinate the Emperor!" Ye Lanyin shouted at the top of her lungs towards the Imperial Guards outside the main hall.

God knows, she didn't even make that much noise when she gave birth!

As soon as a cry for help rang out, the Imperial Guards at the door rushed in again.

The officials were already pale with fright and retreated to the outside of the hall in fear.

Saving your life is the most important thing!

At this time, there were very few people in the main hall.

The prince stopped in his tracks, glaring fiercely at the man in the dragon robe before him. He grinned wickedly, drew his long sword, and thrust it forward with deadly force.

"puff..."

However, with a "clang," the longsword suddenly fell to the ground, and blood splattered all over the emperor's face.

Just as everyone was breathing heavily and overwhelmed with grief...

The prince's arm, which had been gripping the sword, was brutally severed.

The arm fell limply to the ground, the severed fingers still trembling slightly.

The emperor stood there trembling, staring at the crown prince with a sinister look. He clenched his fists, trying his best to suppress the anger and grief in his heart.

"What are you all standing there for? Arrest the Crown Prince!"

As the emperor's voice fell.

The prince came to his senses.

"ah--"

The roaring screams caused the prince unbearable pain.

His severed hand trembled and bled.

One drop, two drops, fell onto the floor of the main hall, staining it like a rose.

His expression of terror and despair made him unable to believe that he would openly make such a move.

He was supposed to be controlling the Second Prince, so how did he become himself?

But at that moment, he had no time to think.

Because the Imperial Guards forced him to kneel down below the main hall.

Consort Zhao was already terrified; she couldn't believe that someone would dare to sever the Crown Prince's arm.

The Emperor looked at Consort Zhao, took out a dragon handkerchief to wipe his face, and then tossed the handkerchief to Eunuch Wang.

Eunuch Wang hurriedly took it.

"Crown Prince, do you dare to kill me?"

The crown prince had lost his hand and was now powerless, his face as pale as paper. "Father, no, I didn't."

"It's my second brother! He's trying to harm me!"

"To harm you?" The Emperor descended from the main hall and approached the Crown Prince. "Why did the Second Prince want to kill me?"

"What did you say?" He stretched out a foot and kicked at the crown prince!

Fortunately, Lin Wanwan had just mentioned it beforehand.

The prince coughed up blood from the pain.

"puff..."

Consort Zhao knelt down, trembling, and crawled to the Crown Prince's side. "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince must have been bewitched. His filial piety towards you over the years is evident. How could he possibly kill you?"

Of course I respect them! If you want to open a chicken farm, you have to win over the chicken farmer first before you can raise and eat chickens.

Ye Lanyin...

Your Majesty...

The Emperor and Empress usually treated each other with respect, but he also doted on Consort Zhao.

[Tsk tsk, not only were the children switched, but the grass on Uncle Huang's head is already three inches tall!]

The Emperor looked at Consort Zhao in shock, only to see the woman kneeling on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
