midnight.
Meng Qinian had already fallen asleep.
But when the black shadow appeared in his room, he woke up instantly.
"how?"
The secret guard imitated the entire conversation between Concubine Rou and the Second Prince, even the tone of voice, without any error.
Meng Qinian listened quietly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
A hint of doubt arose in my heart.
When did my second brother become so capable?
Even if Jin'er's wishes are fulfilled and the other party ascends the throne in the future, he will still have to go through a lot of trials and tribulations.
Now he has actually contacted the leader of the Royal Guards and is able to make him listen to him.
"Is there anything else wrong with the Second Prince?"
The secret guard thought for a moment and said, "I feel his style of behavior is more like that of someone who has been in a high position for a long time."
Hearing this, Meng Qinian understood instantly.
Since the Second Prince was able to plan so well and everything seemed to go according to his plan, does that mean that the other party is also someone like Jin'er who can predict the future?
Meng Qinian thought about it, then stood up and wrote a letter.
"Go and take this letter to Qin Chuan."
As the guards gradually disappeared, the prince's already cold face became even colder.
So what if he is the one destined by heaven?
He has it too.
No one can take away what belongs to you.
Two days later.
The old emperor was seriously injured. He looked at the palace maid who was feeding him medicine bit by bit, and his eyes suddenly widened.
The pain was like a sharp blade, piercing his body accurately and fiercely, making him unable to help but let out a miserable wail.
The palace maid who was feeding him medicine was frightened when she saw this and kept calling for everyone to come over.
As the imperial physician arrived quickly, the emperor, who was originally in great pain, had fainted.
After the imperial physician took the patient's pulse, his expression changed drastically.
Why is it that the situation has not only not improved, but has become worse?
There was even only a faint trace of breath left.
The imperial physician immediately took the medicine bowl from the palace maid, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then his face changed drastically.
This medicine was not prescribed by him, and every herb in it could kill the emperor.
how so……
At this moment, the imperial physician was so frightened that he fell to the ground, watching the emperor's face become more and more hideous and painful, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, two people walked into the bedroom, which was originally heavily guarded. They were Concubine Rou and the Second Prince.
Seeing the second prince suddenly appear here, the emperor's eyes, which were originally bulging due to pain, became even more ferocious.
He pointed at his second son, not understanding why he, who should have been in the cold palace, appeared here.
The second prince looked at the fingers he stretched out, smiled coldly, and then used force to break the emperor's fingers.
The emperor cried out in pain and tried to get up, but he couldn't move.
The second prince's childish face was filled with murderous intent, and he sneered.
"Father, when you banished my mother and me to the cold palace, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
"Today is your retribution!"
"I will take over your throne, kill the prince and queen, and take your place."
"Everything you've experienced today was instigated by me. Father... you can rest assured!"
After saying this, the second prince grabbed the emperor's neck tightly with his hands. As the emperor's face turned blue and purple little by little, his eyes stared at his least favorite son, and he died unwillingly.
Seeing that the person in his hand finally stopped breathing, the second prince had a relieved smile on his face.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Since God has given him this opportunity, it is because he wants him to return to this position.
The second prince took out the imperial edict that had been prepared in advance, his expression showing unconcealable ecstasy.
He is only one step away from his dream!
Then, everything will be yours.
Concubine Rou, who was standing by, could not hide her excitement.
My son was abandoned, and I thought that this was the end of his life.
I never thought that one day I would become the queen mother. It is really exciting.
Concubine Rou looked at her son with admiration.
As expected, he is my own child and is born to sit in this supreme position.
By then, no one will dare to look down on you anymore.
Thinking of this, Concubine Rou felt unimaginable excitement in her heart.
The second prince looked at his mother who was immersed in fantasy and was extremely excited, and a hint of disdain emerged in his heart.
What a stupid woman! A woman like her is extremely lucky to have such an outstanding son.
Now he was only one step away from ascending to the throne of empress, and by then, this woman would have benefited from his presence.
The second prince's mouth curled up slightly into a smile.
He looked outside, imitating the old emperor's usual instructions.
"Someone, hurry up and gather the ministers!"
"yes!"
The young eunuch guarding the door immediately left in a hurry.
An hour later.
The originally majestic and quiet Golden Throne Hall was now noisy.
The ministers were summoned here urgently, and they were all speculating about the old emperor's condition.
Just as everyone was talking, the second prince walked in with a group of guards behind him.
Such a scene made the originally noisy hall suddenly quiet.
The Second Prince looked towards the seat that the Crown Prince usually occupied, but did not see him, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The prince didn't dare to come. It seemed that the other party already knew that he was about to ascend the throne. He was quite sensible.
Since the other party is so sensible, I will just reluctantly give him a whole body.
He turned his gaze to the ministers standing in the hall.
At this time, some ministers with more experience had already realized that something was wrong. The sudden appearance of the Second Prince, who had not appeared before, was self-evident in what it meant.
Without waiting for some of the more loyal ministers to speak.
The second prince glanced at everyone present, his eyes were arrogant, and his face showed arrogance and arrogance that was not in line with his young age.
Then, the childish voice was heard in the empty hall, sounding particularly majestic.
"Today, I give you a chance. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!"
"If you are willing to submit to me, I will not treat you unfairly in the future."
The second prince waited for a long time, but still no one expressed their opinion.
With a hint of resentment in his heart, he continued, "I know what you are thinking. The emperor is dead, and the prince is unworthy of the position!"
"I! Am your best choice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door in the hall was suddenly pushed open.
The guards filed in one after another with murderous intent.
They stood guard beside the Second Prince, looking at everyone present with cold eyes.
