Chapter 308 Kill the Crown Prince and Save Prince Chang
Xu Huang tried hard to control his emotions. The fear of death made him tremble all over.
Xu Ji raised his head and followed the emperor's stealthy gaze to look at the palace maids beside him. He frowned: "These palace maids..."
The emperor straightened up instantly, afraid of being discovered.
He continued, "Your Majesty likes this look? Your taste is really getting worse. For such an important day, why don't you choose some beautiful maids?"
Emperor Xu asked plaintively, "Can I leave?"
The emperor and the empress knelt on the cushions, and everyone present followed suit. They prayed devoutly, hoping that they could escape this disaster and that there would be peace in the world. After a long time, Emperor Xu stood up.
Xu Ji wanted to step forward.
But he was instantly separated by the group of palace maids.
Xu Ji frowned: "How dare you! Get out of the way!"
Looking at the women's clothing and men's faces, he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, they took action. He quickly took out the whistle from his sleeve and blew it decisively.
The strange music, at this moment, actually attracted a group of butterflies.
The bracelet on Jiusu's wrist suddenly lit up, and she said in a clear voice, "Cover your mouth and nose quickly! Butterflies are poisonous!"
However, many guards were exposed too early and had no time to cover their mouths and noses, and fainted on the ground without consciousness. Prime Minister Zhou was exhausted, but fortunately he was supported by the officials behind him.
But he still remembered the important things and patted the person next to him.
"Your Majesty, go and save the Emperor!"
Prince Chang nodded, and with a passionate heart, he drew his sword and rushed towards the altar. He shouted, "Old thief! Don't even think about hurting my father! Come at me if you dare!"
On stage.
Emperor Xu was moved and said, "Queen, I didn't make a mistake, did I? At the critical moment, only this fool came to save us. Humph, I don't know where the Crown Prince has gone."
Empress Xu looked ahead quietly.
Xu Ji looked at the bloated and obese prince who rushed over with disdain, "Where did this fat pig come from? It's not elegant!"
BANG! The poison filled the entire street.
He didn't know when he started to lose strength, but he actually fell headfirst on the stairs. Looking at the villains getting closer and closer, his whole body was shaking. He turned around to look at the prime minister who had fainted from anger.
Then he looked at the person behind Xu Ji.
"Father, save me!"
Empress Xu tilted her head and chuckled, "Your Majesty is right, you are such a fool."
Emperor Xu's face was dim.
I was just about to scold the prince.
At this time, Xu Qihuai came from the side. He raised his hand and said to Xu Ji, "You have been surrounded. Surrender now! Spare yourself from physical pain."
Jiusu was distributing incense, hoping to cover up the smell of the poison.
Xu Ji grabbed Prince Chang's collar, strangled him, and threatened, "What brat dares to threaten me? My royal brother, your sons are not very good. One is fat, and the other is weak. I don't trust anyone with the Xu Kingdom. Why not give it to me, your humble servant?"
"Minister's brother?" Emperor Xu rolled his eyes. "How dare you say that? A traitor is also a minister? Aren't you dead? Why crawl out of your grave instead of staying there?"
Xu Ji handed Prince Chang over to his men.
"Oh, my royal brother, I am unwilling to accept this. Why did my father hand the throne to you? I just had the desire to fight for it, but you killed me? I am lucky to be alive. The Xu Kingdom needs someone as decisive as me."
At the beginning, the late emperor tested the two brothers.
Xu Ji was eliminated by the previous emperor because he was too bad. The current emperor became the emperor because he was not bad enough. According to the previous emperor, if he was too bad, he would become a tyrant, but if he was a little bad, he would not be bullied.
Emperor Xu said, "I was personally chosen by my father to inherit the throne!"
"He's blind!" Xu Ji said excitedly, "You weren't born to the Empress Dowager. Your biological mother was a lowly maid. She was given poisoned wine after giving birth to you. My mother is a noble concubine! Why can't I be the emperor? You have lowly blood flowing in your veins!"
All the old people in the palace knew about this matter.
But this was a palace secret, and Emperor Xu would lose face if it was exposed in front of so many people.
He tried to make amends, "A hero's origins are not judged. Even if I were born from a crack in a rock, I'm still the emperor now!"
Xu Ji cursed, "What's that? You're just a Stone Emperor at best. Hahahaha, you're just a Shit Emperor!"
Emperor Xu was so angry that he looked around and finally took off his shoes and threw them at Xu Ji. The two of them threw the four shoes back and forth vigorously. Seeing that the emperor started fighting, the people below also started fighting.
For a moment, the situation got out of control.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Bai Luoxue held the queen's hand, picked up the sword and killed someone. She was stunned. After staying at the border for so long, it turned out that she had instinctively learned to kill.
She said nervously, "My Lady, please follow me."
"Okay." Queen Xu didn't expect Bai Luoxue to come to save her.
Seeing the lamb under the knife fleeing, Xu Ji roared: "Back then, you were so cruel as to abandon your royal brother, and now you are so heartless that you don't even want your own son?"
Prince Chang shouted in fear, "Father."
Emperor Xu lowered his head in embarrassment, as if he was considering something. At this moment, Concubine Qi Jing got the news from somewhere and came running towards him on horseback. She slipped off the horse, which made the emperor heartbroken.
Blood flowed from the corner of Concubine Qi Jing's mouth. She hugged the emperor's legs and begged bitterly.
"Your Majesty, please save Rong'er! He is the one who has fallen into the wolf's mouth just to save you. Can you bear to let him go? When Rong'er was little, he was always the happy pill that relieved the boredom of the emperor when he was busy with state affairs."
The image of the chubby little boy from his childhood appeared in front of my eyes.
Emperor Xu sighed, "Yes, the Second Brother is deeply in my heart."
But he watched Changrong getting fatter day by day and no longer as cute as he was when he was a child. But he was his son after all, so how could he bear to let Changrong be killed?
"Tell me, what can we do to release Changrong?"
Xu Ji knew that it would be impossible for him to ask for the throne. Anyone would choose the throne instead of the stupid boy, but he thought of a fun game.
Choose one of the two.
"If you kill the prince, I will let him go."
Prince Chang straightened up, the fear in his eyes replaced by surprise. He was secretly delighted. Huh? There was such a good thing? He looked weakly at his father, "Father, please save me. I still have filial piety to you and my mother!"
Empress Xu felt cold all over. She clenched her fist and reminded him, "Your Majesty, please prioritize state affairs."
The emperor is important, and the prince is also important. Without a crown prince, they will definitely not be afraid of an old monarch. But the prince is not the most important. Whoever the emperor values will be the prince.
At this moment, as the queen.
I'm no longer confident.
The emperor really dotes on Concubine Qijing too much. What if the emperor chooses Prince Chang?
After a while.
Emperor Xu asked, "Qi Huai, what do you think I should do?"
Xu Qihuai knelt on the ground. His body had not recovered yet. An hour of busyness was enough for him to shout for buying steamed buns.
The Crown Prince clasped his hands together and said seriously, "I am willing to share your worries, Father. Let me exchange hostages with my second brother! Status is not important. The most important thing is that our family is safe and sound."
The queen reacted instantly.
Empress Xu knelt down slowly, her head lowered, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.
"I agree with the Crown Prince. As the Crown Prince, you should take on everything in order to achieve great things. Qi Huai, do what you want to do. Mother supports you."
