Chapter 134

When the King of Qin saw Zhao Youze, he was even more surprised than Zhao Youcheng. But he was very cunning and immediately took a look around Chengqian Palace.

At this time, Chengqian Palace is full of his men. No matter how the situation outside changes, it will be extremely difficult to capture him in Chengqian Palace.

With this thought in mind, the King of Qin slowly regained some confidence.

He stared at Zhao Youze and said, "You are smarter than I thought."

"Uncle Qin Wang has given me a great reward." Zhao Youze said calmly. His eyes were like a pool of ink, always clear and upright, but today they showed a hint of majesty and determination that only a superior could have.

"Since I can get here safely, Uncle Wang, you should be able to think about the fate of my brother Emperor Youqi." Zhao Youze looked at the King of Qin and said calmly.

The King of Qin was stunned.

Zhao Youqi is his eldest legitimate son. He has a deep love for the Princess of Qin. Although there are concubines and illegitimate sons in the mansion, Zhao Youqi was named the crown prince long ago. He was carefully cultivated and raised by him, and the relationship between the two of them is extremely deep.

Seeing that the situation was inevitable during the forced abdication, he left Zhao Youqi in the East Palace to deal with the aftermath, and he personally went to Chengqian Palace to take care of Zhao Youcheng and others. He did not expect that Zhao Youze would be such a tough nut to crack.

Thinking of Zhao Youqi, the King of Qin was silent for a moment.

When he raised his head again, the King of Qin said casually: "It's just one son. You can do whatever you want with him."

"As expected of you, Uncle Qin." Zhao Youze smiled nonchalantly, "It's a pity that Brother Youqi will be sad to hear this."

Zhao Youze turned his eyes and said softly, "Brother, what role do you play tonight?"

Zhao Youcheng felt mixed emotions the moment he saw Zhao Youze. He was happy that Zhao Youze was not as cruel as the King of Qin, so at least he could save his life. But he was worried that since Zhao Youze was still alive, his father... might also know all the plots between him and the King of Qin.

How will my father deal with me?

Zhao Youcheng opened his mouth awkwardly: "I..."

"Fourth brother," At this time, it was still the Princess of Lu who stood up resolutely. She glanced at Zhao Youcheng and smiled calmly and obediently, "Prince Lu never knew what happened tonight. All the plots were colluded by the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion and the Prince of Qin. The reason why the Prince of Qin came to Chengqian Palace was just because the matter was exposed, and he wanted to support the concubine and the Prince of Lu."

Once these words were spoken, no matter what the fate of Prince Qin and Zhao Youcheng was, Princess Lu and the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion would be doomed.

Zhao Youze glanced at Princess Lu lightly. In fact, Zhao Youze had learned about Princess Lu's character from Jiashan several times, and had also heard a little about the loving relationship between her and Zhao Youcheng.

But no one expected that Princess Lu would be willing to sacrifice everyone in Pingyang Marquis's Mansion for Zhao Youcheng.

Zhao Youze listened patiently to what Princess Lu said next.

Princess Lu's tone was surprisingly gentle, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she didn't know what she was saying was extremely treasonous: "Prince Lu is your Majesty's son after all. He has been taught by your Majesty since he was young. How dare he have such a wolfish ambition to force the emperor to abdicate and kill his father?"

This forced Emperor Zhanghe to protect Zhao Youcheng for the sake of the royal reputation.

Zhao Youze raised his eyes and looked directly at Princess Lu for the first time.

The lights and firelight in Chengqian Palace merged into one, except for the lack of sunlight, which made the palace even more eerie at this moment.

Zhao Youze's gaze moved repeatedly between Zhao Youcheng, Prince Qin and Princess Lu. After a few breaths, he calmed down a little.

"Tonight's matter still needs the emperor's will to decide." Zhao Youze said, "It's not up to you, the emperor's sister-in-law, to decide with just a few words."

These words revealed that everything inside and outside the palace was already under his and Emperor Zhanghe's control.

The King of Qin turned pale. After all, the King of Lu was the biological son of Emperor Zhang He, and even a tiger would not eat its own cubs, but he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death.

He opened his eyes in a daze, looked around at his men, and then stared at Zhao Youze again. His ferocious look was revealed, and it was obvious that he was going to fight to the death.

However, before he could give the order, Zhao Youze raised his hand and said loudly: "There was a palace coup tonight, and the King of Qin and his son were both killed in the chaos."

As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could react, a stray arrow had already pierced through the door of the inner hall, and with a loud sound, it went towards the King of Qin.

At this moment, Zhao Youcheng seemed to hear the sound of the King of Qin's larynx breaking. He saw that the King of Qin did not even have the strength to raise his hand to cover the blood, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhao Youcheng was so frightened that he took several steps back. He instinctively covered his throat with one hand and stood there in a daze.

Zhao Youze nodded slightly to Chu Xi outside the door, then strode out of the gate of Chengqian Palace without looking back.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

The palace was heated by a warm floor heater, keeping the wind and snow out. Emperor Zhang He was wearing an outer robe and standing with his hands behind his back. Apart from Chen Gong, there was no one else serving him in the palace, as if all the disputes tonight had nothing to do with this palace.

Chen Gong quietly poured more tea for Emperor Zhang He and whispered, "Your Majesty, everything has been handled. The Fourth Prince is on his way here."

Emperor Zhang He remained silent for a while. After a while, he said, "Let him in. All of you leave."

Chen Gong said: "Yes."

Although it is common for fathers and sons to fight each other in heaven, what happened tonight really makes people dare not ask any more questions.
