Chapter 345 Unlucky White Moonlight 21
Look at his arrogant tone, if you don’t know, you would think he has succeeded!
"Prince Jin, are you sure you want to rebel?"
Prince Jin sneered, "Commander Xiao, please don't make false accusations. I just heard that my father was critically ill, so I came to see him."
No one present believed this.
When Concubine Ru heard this voice, she regained her strength and kept twisting her body, trying to break free from the control of the two palace maids. She was mumbling something in her mouth, but unfortunately, Prince Jin, who was separated by a door, could not hear her at all.
The emperor looked at Concubine Ru with sarcasm. What was the point of her trying so hard to help her survive? She was determined to die and no one could stop her.
He was very angry at first, but now facing his own son's pressure to abdicate, he is much calmer. After all, he still has several sons.
When Prince Jin saw that Commander Xiao was followed by familiar faces from the palace, and that their number was much smaller than the number he brought, he felt very proud.
Thinking that his almighty father would die at his hands, Prince Jin became a little too proud of himself.
"Commander Xiao, as long as you submit to me now, the position of Grand Commander will still be yours. Otherwise..."
"How about this?"
The door of the imperial study slowly opened, and he saw his father, who he thought had passed away long ago, standing there, looking at him with oppressive eyes.
"Father, why are you..."
The emperor looked at the people behind Prince Jin, a sarcastic smile on his face. "Are you surprised that I'm not dead? Then you should ask her."
The palace maid brought Concubine Ru to the front at the right time and tore the rag out of her mouth.
"My prince, run! There's an ambush!"
Even if she didn't say it, Prince Jin knew there was an ambush when he saw the emperor standing there.
But what could he do? He was destined not to be able to leave peacefully today.
As the emperor appeared, the guards hiding in every corner appeared, holding knives, swords, bows and crossbows. Their number was many times greater than that of the King of Jin.
"I really raised a good son!"
At this point, King Jin had no way out and could only fight to the death.
"Father, can this be blamed on me? I'm the one you look down upon the most among my brothers, isn't it because I don't have a strong maternal family? But I'm also your son, don't you think it's unfair?"
At this point, King Jin's face was filled with anger, and the gentle and polite demeanor he had pretended to have was no longer there.
"Since you look down on me and have never thought of letting me succeed you, don't blame me for thinking more about you."
The emperor was not surprised by what he said, but he was still a little disappointed.
He admitted that he had never considered letting the other party become the next emperor, but this had nothing to do with the mother's family. After all, this kind of thing was very simple to solve. He just needed to arrange a few more women with good family background and status to be his main wife and concubines.
It has nothing to do with family background, but of course it has to do with the person.
When he was a child, the King of Jin was cowardly and afraid of everything. He did not have the qualities that a king should have. When he grew up, he no longer looked cowardly, but his ambition grew. The fact that he did not tell people about many things did not mean that he did not know them.
To be honest, as long as he really wants to investigate anything that happens in the palace, there is nothing he can't find out.
A person who is timid and cannot even conceal his desires is not suitable to be a king. That is why he gave him the title of King of Jin early on, just to remind him to be a leisurely prince.
Unfortunately... no one knows his good intentions.
"I gave you and your son a chance. Since you don't want it, don't blame me for being merciless. Come on! Capture them all!"
The two sides immediately engaged in battle, and the private soldiers that King Jin was so proud of became scattered sand. In less than half an incense stick of time, some were killed and some were injured, and they completely lost their combat capability.
On the other hand, everyone on the emperor's side was in high spirits. Although there were some wounded, they were immediately carried away for treatment.
"Son! My son!"
Seeing Prince Jin lying in a pool of blood, Concubine Ru burst into tears. She stumbled over and hugged her son into her arms, "My son, you must not be in any harm. If anything happens to you, what will I do?"
If it weren't for the forced abdication, this scene would undoubtedly be tear-jerking.
But now Luo An just wanted to laugh when he saw this scene.
Yes, as the person who provided intelligence, Luo An had been staying outside the imperial study, watching coldly as Prince Jin led his men in with high spirits and charged forward, and then watched him being hacked by others with swords.
At the moment he fell, Prince Jin saw Luo An standing beside the emperor, and his lips moved, but no one noticed what he said.
However, Luo An knew what the other party said, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Even if he guessed that she did it all, so what? She was still the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, and the dignified Prince Jin was about to become a prisoner.
What to do? She was just so happy.
Before the bloodstains outside the imperial study were washed away, the people of the entire capital knew this great news.
"What? The Prince of Jin was thrown into prison for plotting to usurp the throne? Don't tell me that. If the Prince of Jin's men hear you, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill them even if you have ten lives."
"Why would I lie to you? My cousin's uncle's grandson-in-law works in the palace. He said that the man is already in prison. The government will definitely release the news later."
"Oh my! Is Prince Jin really stupid? He's a good prince, but he shouldn't do such a stupid thing. Now he's going to have a miserable life!"
"I'm not stupid! That's the throne. If it were you, you would be tempted too. But he was still impatient after all."
The lady next to him agreed, sighing a bit as she spoke, "Everyone used to say that Prince Jin was deeply affectionate and had a very good reputation. But ever since he got involved with that concubine of the Mei family, not only did he lose his illustrious princess, he also ended up in jail."
"You're right! I also think it's the one from the Mei family who brought bad luck. Why choose the surname Mei? Isn't that bad luck~"
Both men and women are very interested in such major events.
Before long, the Mei family's unfortunate reputation spread, but Mei Wuchi no longer had time to care about it. Although he did not directly join Prince Jin in forcing the emperor to abdicate, he also contributed a lot.
At the beginning, Prince Jin said something very nice. As long as he helped Prince Jin to successfully ascend to the throne, he would let Mei Niang be the queen and he would be the prime minister. By then, no one would be stronger than him. Even the one from the Luo family would have to shamelessly please him.
Caught in such a beautiful fantasy, he, who was always cautious, agreed to help without much thought, but the result was...
"Idiot! Everything was arranged for him, yet he still failed!"
"Dad, what should we do now? If the emperor blames us, I'm afraid we'll have to go to jail too."
Minister Mei paced back and forth in his study, his restlessness evident to everyone. "Did you clean up the mess?"
