The incident happened suddenly, and the arrow came with great force from a distance.
The guards surrounding them had no time to react.
"Protect the emperor!" Eunuch Li came to his senses, shouted in panic, and hurriedly supported Emperor Wenyuan who was falling backwards.
The scene suddenly fell into chaos.
Mo Chen subconsciously looked in the direction of the arrow, but apart from the crowded crowd, he could not see the person shooting the arrow.
It is certain that this is definitely not the person he arranged.
Because it's not the right time yet.
"Go and find out who shot the arrow... Forget it, it's too late. Send the signal quickly. It must be Princess Yuchang who took action. We can't give her this opportunity." Mo Chen hurriedly ordered Chen Yu.
Chen Yu nodded immediately.
Mo Chen glanced at Yang Zhao, but did not approach her. Instead, he hurriedly climbed onto the platform. When the imperial guards carried Emperor Wen Yuan into the palace, he followed them, leaving behind a group of confused and frightened people.
Yang Zhao watched all of this calmly.
"Miss, the master is safe, and Miss Xier and the others have also been arranged." Dong Shuang appeared beside her at some point and reported in a low voice.
"Where is Princess Yuchang?"
"I have entered the palace through Qiankun Gate."
Yang Zhao looked up at the sky, which was clear and blue. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "The fun is about to begin."
The emperor was assassinated.
The palace gates were closed and the entire city was under martial law.
Mo Chen was guarding the gate of the Qianqing Palace.
As he watched the palace maids bring out basins of blood, his eyes were extremely cold.
I don’t know how long it took.
A flare exploded in the air.
When Mo Chen saw the signal, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. It worked!
At this moment, Chen Yu also hurried over with his men, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement and ambition. "Your Highness, everything is going smoothly. The Yulin Army has been taken under our control, and the commander of the Imperial Guard, Wan Hua, has also surrendered. Now the entire palace is under our control."
When Mo Chen heard the news, he couldn't hide his excitement: "Great! God help me!"
"Let's go, now we can go see my father!"
Mo Chen changed his cautious attitude and strode into the Palace of Heavenly Purity with high spirits.
Inside the hall.
The imperial physicians had healed Emperor Wenyuan's chest wound and wrapped it with gauze, but the air was still filled with a strong smell of medicine and blood.
Mo Chen's gaze fell on the pale-faced Emperor Wen Yuan, and his tone was cold and indifferent: "How is Father doing now?"
Seeing Mo Chen coming in with his men, even the dumbest doctors knew what was going on.
An imperial physician replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is seriously injured. The arrow was poisonous and the toxin has spread throughout his body. We...we have tried our best." As he spoke, beads of sweat appeared on the imperial physician's forehead and his body trembled slightly.
poison?
Mo Chen was delighted.
Looking at the emaciated and pale Emperor Wenyuan, who looked like he was about to die, he glanced at the imperial doctors and said, "You guys go out first."
These imperial doctors cannot die yet.
At least, before they revealed the cause of Emperor Wenyuan's death to the outside world.
The imperial doctors looked at each other, and finally retreated as if they had been pardoned.
When only Mo Chen and the unconscious Emperor Wen Yuan were left in the bedroom, Mo Chen slowly walked to the bedside, leaned over and stared at Emperor Wen Yuan, and asked with feigned concern, "Father? Are you feeling better?"
Emperor Wenyuan did not move.
Mo Chen slowly stretched out his hand and pressed directly on Emperor Wenyuan's bandaged chest. With the force of crushing and turning, blood oozed out along the white gauze. After making sure that the person on the bed had no reaction, Mo Chen sat down beside the bed.
He lowered his voice and said, "Father, please don't blame me for being cruel. The throne should belong to the capable."
At this point, Mo Chen seemed to have thought of something. He smiled coldly and said, "But, to be honest, this is also your own fault. If you weren't so narrow-minded and foolish, how could you have ended up being despised by everyone? What's more, you are so unfair to me. We are both sons, but you have never taken me seriously. Why is that?"
"Not only are they treating me unfairly, but they are also humiliating me everywhere."
"Father, your heart is truly too biased!"
As Mo Chen spoke, he reached out to the wound of Emperor Wenyuan and pressed hard, "If you had treated me fairly and cared about me a little, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Oh, by the way, I'm afraid Father doesn't know yet. Although the capital seems peaceful now, it has actually been completely infiltrated. This is not just my credit."
"Your respected sister... is much more capable than me."
"You think you still hold onto imperial power, but in reality, you've long since lost the support of the people. Even those ministers you once trusted have long since defected. You've long been left alone."
Mo Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, and the expression on his face was almost distorted.
But he didn't notice that the person on the bed seemed to move his fingers slightly.
"Father, please just lie down and let me take care of the world for you!"
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
"What's going on?"
Mo Chen stood up upon hearing the voice.
A soldier hurried in to report: "Your Majesty, it's Princess Yuchang..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was shot to death by an arrow.
Princess Yuchang appeared at the door in a gorgeous palace dress, her eyes full of anger and majesty.
"Mo Chen, how dare you bring people into the palace? That's outrageous!"
Princess Yuchang shouted angrily, her voice echoing in the empty palace, seeming particularly loud.
Mo Chen looked at Princess Yu, seeing her righteous appearance, and couldn't help but sneer: "Aunt, your father won't see you pretending like this anymore."
Princess Yuchang's gaze passed over Chen Yu and others and fell on Emperor Wenyuan lying on the bed. She looked at the red spot on his chest, and finally her eyes fell on Mo Chen's blood-stained hand, and she immediately understood something.
She narrowed her eyes.
"You're quick enough!"
Princess Yuchang changed her previous angry roar and added a hint of sarcasm.
Mo Chen sneered and said, "If I don't act quickly, I will become a stepping stone for the imperial aunt, and I won't even know how I died."
At this point, Mo Chen's eyes flashed with anger. "Speaking of which, I also have to thank the Royal Aunt. Over the past ten years, if it weren't for you, the Royal Aunt, who has been pushing me forward, I really wouldn't have made it this far. This is indeed due to the Royal Aunt's contribution. However, didn't you say that you would fully support me in ascending the throne?"
"Now that this opportunity has come, why does the Imperial Aunt look so unhappy?"
Mo Chen raised a hint of sarcasm: "Why, could it be that the imperial aunt wants to become the emperor herself now?"
Princess Yuchang glanced at Chen Yu and others.
He sneered, "Do you think you can become emperor just by controlling the Imperial Guard with just these few men?"
"Mo Chen, you are overestimating your own abilities."
