Murong Xing's words awakened the father and son.
In this dynasty, the two princes most likely to become the crown prince are none other than the Fourth Prince and the Prince of Jin.
Today, one is far away at the border and the other is under house arrest.
The incident between Prince Jin and Yan Xi might have been intentionally done by the Fourth Prince, so the Fourth Prince was placed under house arrest. It might also be that Prince Jin was secretly behind the scenes.
The Fourth Prince was furious, and it was possible that he wanted to use Yan Xi to contain Prince Jin.
Thinking about it this way, the three of them had an idea.
"No matter what, both sides must pay attention. We must find a way to confirm who is holding Yan Xi as soon as possible and then rescue him. I just hope they don't torture Yan Xi." Minister Chu stroked his beard with a serious expression.
——
The emperor has recently been obsessed with the pursuit of immortality and has clearly felt the changes in his body. At the same time, his needs in certain areas are also increasing uncontrollably.
As a result, the emperor often lingered in the harem, especially since he recently had a beautiful woman.
The beauty was petite, cute and innocent, and she fell in love with the emperor at first sight. The emperor was so loved by such a beauty that he felt like he had returned to his youth. He fell in love with the beauty, and the two were inseparable, like newlyweds, full of vigor and vitality, and often absent from court.
Therefore, there were many complaints in the court, and some ministers even thought that this beauty was a monster who was disturbing the emperor's mind, and they all requested her execution.
The emperor was furious and mercilessly executed the minister who submitted the memorial to serve as a warning to others.
For a time, all civil and military officials felt insecure and dared not speak out.
The Defei who was in charge of the harem took advantage of the emperor's morning court session and secretly captured the beauty, intending to execute her. However, the beauty escaped. Before she died, she transformed into her original form, a fox. She also claimed that she was only sent by God to the lower world to defeat the thousand-year-old tyrant, and this tyrant was Emperor Dongli.
The beauty also said that Emperor Dongli would bring chaos for a thousand years and the world would become a purgatory because of him, and she was just doing good things.
When this was said, everyone was in disbelief.
But then, news spread that the emperor was obsessed with immortality, and everyone was shocked. They immediately remembered the words of the beauty and shuddered.
At this time, the fourth prince stood up and was determined to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.
The emperor panicked at this time and pointed out that the fox beauty incident was just a conspiracy of the fourth prince, in order to force the emperor to rebel and ascend the throne.
Some ministers were not fools and also felt that what the emperor said made sense.
For a moment, the court was divided into two teams, one team stood with the emperor, and the other team stood with the fourth prince.
But the emperor had killed many loyal ministers, and there were only a few left.
The fourth prince gained confidence and, under the banner of eliminating the tyrant, he led his men straight to the emperor's bedroom and beheaded the emperor.
Those who knew the current situation bowed to him one after another.
Just as the Fourth Prince was preparing for his coronation ceremony, his plot was exposed and spread widely among the people. Xiao Jingwen led his soldiers back to the capital shouting slogans of "clearing the court of evil officials".
Xiao Jingyan had long anticipated that he would take the opportunity to come back, and had arranged his men in various cities in advance, ready to face a fierce battle.
At the same time, he conveyed the message that "Chu Yanxi is in my hands", hoping to suppress Xiao Jingwen.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jingwen turned a deaf ear and showed no fear at all.
In addition, his men were all elite soldiers and generals, and they came with great momentum. Xiao Jingyan's men could not resist at all. Some of them even turned against him in the middle of the battle and let him go. It seemed that they were about to march straight to the palace, and the situation was extremely dangerous.
Xiao Jingyan was so angry in the palace that he couldn't even hold on to his gentle and kind personality.
At the same time, he realized that the Chu Yanxi in his hand was either a fake, or Xiao Jingwen didn't care about him at all!
Soon, the former's guess was verified. From beginning to end, Chu Yanxi had never been caught by him!
Jamel Xiao almost fainted from anger.
They are a bunch of good-for-nothings, not even one of them is useful, and they are no match for Xiao Jingwen at all.
What else can he use to fight with others!
After several days of tenacious resistance, the palace gate was breached by Xiao Jingwen and his men, and a group of soldiers entered the palace in a menacing manner.
It was early morning that day.
Xiao Jingyan wore a yellow robe and stood on the steps of the Golden Throne Hall, with the Jinwu Guards standing on both sides of him.
Xiao Jingwen, clad in golden armor, walked slowly towards them with an aura of majesty and murderous intent, each step steady and heavy.
The coldness in the black eyes made people dare not look directly at him.
Xiao Jingwen stopped and looked up at the people above him from afar. His eyes were dark and his tone was cold. "Fourth brother, do you like the gift I gave you?"
Xiao Jingyan tried his best to calm his mind, curled his lips and smiled coldly, "Ninth brother, you are too happy too early. Until the last moment, it is still uncertain who will win or lose."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Wuxing and several of his subordinates came out, escorting the embarrassed Minister Chu and Chu Junyao.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingwen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dark emotion flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Jingyan walked up to them with a smile on his face and said nonchalantly, "Although Yanxi is not here, I can still take care of his relatives. Ninth brother, you must think clearly. If Yanxi knew that his father and elder brother died because of you, he would be very sad."
"Mmmm!!" Chu Junyao and Chu Shangshu, whose mouths were blocked, looked slightly agitated. They wanted to say something to Xiao Jingwen, but they couldn't make a sound.
