Chapter 440 You killed your father and your king!
However, a few threatening words did not make Xu Cairong retreat.
It became even worse. He was never afraid of Emperor Xu. What he was afraid of was the power behind Emperor Xu. He sat on the couch without any image.
"Of course it was my father who gave me the courage."
As he said this, he threw the golden medal and arrow on the bed.
Emperor Xu's face turned pale. He cursed, "You bastard! This is my dragon bed!"
Seeing that he didn't move, Emperor Xu was so angry that he took the ruler and went up to beat him.
"Rebellious son! Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Xu Cairong snatched the ruler and slammed it to the ground. At that moment, the fire in his heart burst out: "Yes! Father, can you please die?"
Emperor Xu broke out in a cold sweat. Why did Cai Rong hate him so much?
He remembered what he had promised him that day and hurriedly asked, "Rong'er, are you blaming me for giving the crown prince position to your third brother?"
Xu Cairong drew his sword, his eyes fierce, and said excitedly: "So you know everything, you understand everything! Why did you lie to me! Why!? Am I not your favorite son? Why do you favor Xu Qihuai?"
Xu Huang stared at the sword around his neck with wide eyes.
"Rong'er, I was forced by the ministers!"
At this time, Xu Qihuai led the imperial guards to the door of the bedroom, and for a while, they started fighting with Prince Shen's men.
Emperor Xu stared eagerly at the door. He retreated cautiously, wanting to stay away from the sword. If he wanted to survive, he had to first calm this rebellious son. He said, "Rong'er, I will make you the crown prince immediately, okay?"
Xu Cairong came back to his senses, listening to the sounds of fighting outside, and said nervously, "Crown Prince? I don't want to be a crown prince! I want to be the emperor! Write! Write that you want to abdicate and make me the emperor!"
There were sparks in his eyes, almost crazy.
I saw Emperor Xu writing the imperial edict with trembling hands.
He walked to the hanger and touched the imperial robe, liking it very much. He put his sword aside, rubbed the fabric with his face, and then put it on.
"I am the Emperor..."
Suddenly, Xu Cairong sensed a hint of danger. Sure enough, Xu Huangzheng picked up the sword and stabbed at him. He immediately grasped the sword, and his palm was cut, but he didn't feel the pain.
He snatched the sword away.
The initiative is back in our hands.
He approached step by step, looked down at the fallen Emperor Xu, and asked, "Father, do you want to kill me?"
“No, no…” Xu Huang’s face turned pale with fear.
Xu Cairong grabbed Emperor Xu and placed his sword against his lower back, threatening him, "Go, call the Crown Prince in. Let's have a good chat, father and son. Don't let anything slip, or I'll stab you in the stomach with my sword."
Xu Huang nodded, opened the door, held onto the door frame, and coughed lightly a few times.
The people fighting outside immediately stopped and knelt on the ground to salute. He raised his head and asked unhappily, "It's so late, what are you doing? Prince, are you trying to rebel?"
Xu Qihuai knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I heard that Prince Shen entered the palace with a sword, so I was worried and came to check on you. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Emperor Xu felt the sword at his waist getting closer, and he immediately changed his tone, saying with a wry smile, "I summoned Rong'er into the palace. Qi Huai, please come in too. I have something to tell you."
Finally, he added.
"Old General, notify all officials to enter the palace."
After saying that, the door closed.
Jiang Jing whispered, "This is obviously Prince Shen's plan."
Xu Qihuai hesitated for a few seconds and finally decided: "After all, this is the order of my father. If I don't obey, I will be disobeying the emperor's order."
He handed the sword to Jiang Jing.
"If I can't come back, take good care of the Crown Princess and her son for me, and tell Shuo'er that he must grow up and inherit the Xu Kingdom."
This is considered entrusting an orphan to someone else.
Jiang Jing urged: "Your Highness, be careful."
Xu Qihuai had reasons to go. He pushed the door open, then closed it again. He looked at the two people playing chess, trying to appear calm as he knelt on the ground. "Your Highness, your son greets you."
"Prince, let's play chess together." Xu Cairong made way and walked over to Emperor Xu. He placed his hands on his shoulders and squeezed them, intentionally or unintentionally. "Father, is my third brother's chess skill better than yours?"
Xu Huang's hand trembled as he placed the black piece.
"No, I think you're still the best."
I don't know how much time passed, but it was almost dawn when the ministers rushed to the palace. When Jiusu arrived, he heard that the prince had been there for an hour.
She felt vaguely worried.
Who will die? Ideally, it will be Xu Cairong.
Don’t let it be the prince.
Otherwise, there is no way to break this game.
"It's raining."
Jiang Jing held up an umbrella to shield her from the rain: "A Su, stay with me for a while, the weather is going to change."
Eunuch Shang stood at the door and whispered, "Your Majesty, the officials have arrived."
puff-
"ah!"
A muffled sound of pain was heard.
Emperor Xu looked at the sword stuck in his abdomen, pointed his finger at Xu Cairong, spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked at him in disbelief, "You, you actually killed me?"
A mixture of pain and disbelief.
Xu Cairong asked, "Why not?"
Emperor Xu fell into the prince's arms, "You killed your father and your king!"
Xu Cairong sneered, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I'm not your son, but I've called you father for so many years, so telling you this secret is my filial duty."
Xu Qihuai stood up and shouted: "Come..."
However, Xu Cairong used his huge physical advantage to knock the prince to the ground, threw the dagger in his hand in front of him, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Prince, I'm sorry."
Xu Qihuai endured the pain in his ankle and said, "Xu Cairong, you are simply crazy!"
Xu Cairong rushed out the door, horrified, "Father, the Emperor is dead! The Crown Prince killed him!"
Prime Minister Zhou gave the order: "Surround the bedroom, seal off the palace! The crown prince has committed regicide, high treason, arrest him!"
The prince's party responded quickly and blocked the way.
Jiang Jing said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister, you are being too hasty. The Crown Prince wasn't the only one in the bedroom just now. Perhaps Prince Shen is trying to pin the blame on the Crown Prince for regicide?"
Prime Minister Zhou glared at him: "What nonsense!"
While the two were arguing, Jiusu had already rushed into the bedroom.
Xu Qihuai saw her and came back to his senses from the shock. He took a deep breath and said, "It's Xu Cairong."
"Prince, calm down." Jiusu said, and then she looked at Emperor Xu lying on the ground. Seeing that his lips were still trembling, and he wanted to say something but couldn't, she stretched out her hand.
"Still breathing."
Jiusu said, "Your Majesty, I have a small cup of tea of life-extending elixir here. If you want to take it, then give me a reminder."
Xu Huang used all his strength.
Jiusu fed him a life-extending pill.
Soon, Emperor Xu opened his eyes, but the blood in his abdomen was still flowing. It was horrible. Xu Qihuai came to his senses and hurried forward to support him. "Father, are you okay?"
Jiusu reminded: "It's only a few sips of tea."
Bang!
Emperor Xu held onto the door frame with his blood-stained hands and, with the help of the Crown Prince, stepped over the threshold with difficulty.
Jiang Jing was the first to kneel down: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Everyone heard it.
"How is that possible?" Xu Cairong turned around, his breathing almost stagnant.
Empress Xu's heart was pounding as she walked forward. Fortunately, he was not dead yet, which could prove the emperor's innocence.
At the same time, the noble concubine Qi Jing ran forward, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty! You really scared me to death. I am so glad that you are okay."
