Chapter 16: Delicate Palace Maids VS Cold-blooded Emperor 16

"Your Majesty, these are your uncle's sons. They are naughty all the time." Prince Duan pointed directly at his three sons. His princess died of dystocia during childbirth, leaving behind only a few sons. However, Prince Duan did not care. He had countless concubines in the palace. "In this entire royal family, except for these useless sons of mine, there are no other descendants. Your Majesty, for the sake of the country, you have to pay attention to them!"

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces turned pale and they dared not make a sound.

He was drunk and might not have understood what outrageous words he had said, but many people present were smart people, so how could they not know the current situation?

When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die.

The issue of offspring has always been a taboo in the emperor's mind. There are countless beauties in the harem, but not a single concubine can have offspring.

As you can imagine, there were a lot of rumors among the people.

The current emperor is a wise ruler, but he has no offspring, so the country cannot be passed on and may be passed on to others.

Especially since Prince Duan said such words at this time, he would be sentenced to death.

"Prince Duan brought a few young princes to see what they want!" Shen Qi's eyes darkened.

"This prince is indeed anxious, so I have brought a few brats with me to help the emperor solve his problems. Just like adopting one of their own, Your Majesty must also train them carefully." Prince Duan was drunk and smiled ambitiously.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking and could hardly speak.

All the concubines in the harem lowered their heads and hurried out to kneel on the ground.

The ministers below had already knelt on the ground in cold sweat, fearing that Shen Qi would suddenly remember their relationship with Prince Duan and then directly implicate all nine generations of their clan.

At this moment, the hall was quiet.

The three princes shook their heads, seemingly having no idea what was going on. They raised their heads and saw the emperor above them smiling.

In their eyes, smiling meant approval and affirmation of them, so they simply stopped standing and sat on the ground and started playing.

"What are you three doing? Go and pay your respects to your royal brother." Prince Duan drank too much, and his head was swaying. He almost vomited because of the alcohol.

The three princes didn't listen and just ran around.

Prince Duan curled his lips and glanced at Shen Qi. Seeing that he didn't make any move, he picked up the wine jar on the table and pointed it at the three princes, "You guys, didn't you hear me? Come over here!"

Shen Qi's eyes became darker, but he still didn't say a word. He stood up slowly. Xiao Fuzi wanted to go forward to support him, but was stopped by Shen Qi's raised hand.

So, Xiao Fuzi, Su Zhiruan and Ziyu just followed him and walked forward.

The way the Queen Mother looked at Prince Duan now was as if she were looking at a dead man.

Perhaps, to see a dead body.

"I have raised you all this age, you choose one to stay and become the crown prince." The wine jar in Prince Duan's hand was shaking, and he himself was unsteady on the ground, "Huh? How come there are six crown princes?"

Everyone was kneeling on the ground in cold sweat.

This kind of situation has never occurred before, not to mention the current dynasty, or even in the entire history.

As a subordinate prince, he repeatedly provoked the emperor and even wanted to make his son the crown prince.

This is treason, and the evidence is irrefutable.

Prince Duan had no idea what was going on. He was drunk and suddenly started beating his children. The children ran around everywhere, making the banquet a mess.

And the accident happened at this time.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When Prince Duan was beating his child, the jar of wine in his hand flew quickly towards Shen Qi. Everyone who saw this scene was filled with horror.

Xiao Fuzi and the others didn't react at all. The secret guard also just reacted and was about to take action, but he saw that the wine jar had already flown in front of Shen Qi.

This is the split second of lightning.

At this moment, Su Zhiruan directly protected him, and then quickly threw Shen Qi to the ground, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Blood splattered on the ground.

Looking at the blood on the ground, Prince Duan stopped where he was with his big belly. Then, he seemed to wake up.
