The capital of Feng Kingdom has been very unstable recently, with a clear sign of turbulent times.
The prince was first sent to the south to control the plague. A few days ago, news came that the prince had unfortunately contracted the plague and would not live long.
Once the crown prince dies, the position of crown prince becomes vacant.
So in the past few days, the court has been discussing which prince will inherit the throne of crown prince.
Logically speaking, now that the crown prince is dead, the throne should be inherited by the only remaining prince, the Sixth Prince Feng Chen.
But the third prince, who was rumored to have been killed by bandits, actually came back.
Now, the situation in the court became more and more complicated.
………
It has been six days since we returned from the bandit camp.
The next day after Feng Chen came back, he took his men back to the mountain stronghold and rescued the ministers' families who were imprisoned in the stronghold.
Of course, this series of actions were carried out in secret and did not alert anyone else.
Feng Chen secretly sent all the ministers' families back home, and without exception, they all received gratitude from the ministers.
For this reason, the ministers united and all strongly recommended Feng Chen to succeed the crown prince in the court.
Soon, the Six Princes Party composed of these ministers successfully suppressed the Three Princes Party.
The third prince panicked and went to the palace to find the emperor at night.
At this time, the old emperor was already terminally ill and was only one breath away from being buried.
In the Emperor's bedroom, the Third Prince knelt before the old Emperor's bed. His face, not unattractive at all, he gnashed his teeth in anger, "Father, I don't know what tricks Sixth Brother has used to win over more than half of the ministers in the court to support him. If this continues, the position of Crown Prince will belong to Sixth Brother!"
The old emperor looked at his son, born to the woman he loved most, with loving eyes. Even with only one breath left, he was still trying hard to plan for him, "Xiao San, call Xiao Liu tomorrow. Father has already made arrangements. The throne will only be yours."
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince was overjoyed, thinking that he could finally sit on the throne. He didn't care at all about the Emperor who was lying in bed and trying his best to plan for him.
Poor old emperor, he only loved this one son in his life, but the third prince was indifferent to him and only had the throne in his heart.
This should be the case: there must be something hateful about pitiful people.
………
The next day, the Third Prince called Feng Chen to the Emperor's bedroom as the Emperor had instructed.
Facing Feng Chen, the Third Prince pretended to wipe away a few tears, "Sixth brother, father's condition has worsened again. I really don't want to see him go..."
Feng Chen glanced at the Third Prince, ignored him, and walked forward to the emperor's bed.
The old emperor half opened his eyes, but there was no life in them and they were cloudy.
Looking at the old emperor who was about to die with his energy exhausted, Feng Chen felt a little sad and upset.
After all, he was the one who gave him life.
"Father, your Majesty. Your son is here."
Feng Chen knelt down in front of the bed and reached out to hold the Emperor's hand that was hanging on the quilt.
The old emperor slowly turned his head and spoke weakly, "Xiao Liu, you're here."
Feng Chen nodded and reached out to hold the corner of the emperor's quilt.
While Feng Chen lowered his head, the old emperor gave the old eunuch beside him a look. The old eunuch understood and brought over a medicine bowl, handing it to Feng Chen. "Sixth Prince, it's time for His Majesty to drink the medicine. Please feed His Majesty the medicine."
Feng Chen took the medicine bowl without any doubt, picked up the spoon in the bowl, scooped a spoonful and fed it to the old emperor's mouth.
The old emperor opened his mouth and drank it. Just as Feng Chen was about to feed him the second spoonful, he saw the old emperor on the bed suddenly open his eyes wide and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the old emperor died.
The Third Prince rushed over, stretched out his hand and knocked over the medicine bowl in Feng Chen's hand, and accused him in grief, "Sixth Prince, how could you poison our father!"
As soon as the Third Prince finished shouting, a group of people rushed in from outside, cursing Feng Chen for being vicious and poisoning the emperor.
In an instant, Feng Chen became the target of public criticism.
Feng Chen stared at the scene in front of him in a daze, feeling infinite sadness in his heart.
Unexpectedly, before his death, his father would trick him in this way in order to allow his third brother to sit on the throne.
The old emperor passed away, and the Sixth Prince Feng Chen became the one who poisoned the old emperor to death.
When Wanyue heard the news in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, she was shocked.
Is the male protagonist so stupid that he could be tricked?
When Feng Chen went out in the morning, Wanyue felt that something was wrong. Out of kindness, she reminded Feng Chen a few things, asking him to be careful and not fall into the trap.
Unexpectedly, Feng Chen glanced at her expressionlessly and then left.
Seeing that, Wanyue almost wanted to hit someone.
I told you to be proud of yourself. Now you know how powerful I am, right?
"Master, Prince Ming asked me to ask you if you would like to come with me into the palace?"
Unlike the foolish Feng Chen, Prince Ming had already counted his men and horses when Feng Chen went in and out of the palace. He was just waiting for the old emperor to die, and then he would lead his men into the palace to capture the third prince alive.
Wanyue finished the cake in her hand in a few bites, stood up and walked out, "Fifteen, let's go to the palace!"
This is the biggest palace drama of the year, don’t miss it!
………
Inside the palace, Prince Ming brought his men to surround the Third Prince and his subordinates.
The Third Prince had just had a beautiful dream of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, but it was soon ruthlessly crushed by the Ming Prince.
