"What is the Imperial Physician still kneeling for? Hurry up and prepare to give His Majesty the acupuncture. Also, have someone quickly check on the Crown Prince and ask him to come and take charge after the court session. Once the Crown Prince arrives, we can begin."
The prince arrived very quickly. The court affairs were dismissed early today, and he was not in a hurry to deal with official business. He was only focused on seeing the imperial physician for treatment.
Before the emperor woke up, there was already a faint movement outside the bedroom.
"What's the noise?" Although the queen felt something in her heart, she couldn't help but question the servants who were serving her.
In fact, just now, in order to make it easier for His Majesty to give him acupuncture, she arranged the prince to be placed in a place closer to the emperor. Naturally, these female relatives should be closer to the emperor, after all, it is easier to serve them.
I thought it was a good deal for this little devil Lipin.
The young eunuch was about to open the palace gate to go out and take a look, but he saw the door of the bedroom being pushed open with great force, and the royal guards retreating with knives in their hands, as if there was a flood or a beast coming out from outside.
The prince also stood up at the right time.
"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor." The royal guards shouted as they retreated.
Soon, the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince rushed to the front under the protection of the guards. The Fourth Prince and other deep-minded princes were also among them. Except for the Eighth Prince and the Eleventh Prince, almost everyone else had arrived.
"You little dog slave, what are you yelling about? This prince is not forcing the emperor to abdicate. This is because our brother, the Crown Prince, and our good mother have refused to let us sons see our father. We don't know whether our father is alive or dead, so we can only resort to this last resort. I believe our father will understand us a little."
The Sixth Prince was used to being arrogant and domineering. He snatched the sword from the guard and stabbed the screaming eunuch to death with one blow.
"The noise in front of the palace has disturbed the emperor's peace and quiet. This prince will remove you, a disloyal servant, on his behalf."
Blood was seen, and the two sides that were originally in confrontation suddenly became hostile.
At this moment, arrows suddenly shot from outside. Half of the Third Prince's entourage went to meet the enemy, while the other half took advantage of the chaos in the hall to start a massacre.
The prince had already slipped to the emperor's side, and the empress was just looking for a good position to watch this palace-forcing battle, paying no attention to the emperor at all.
She missed the important news that the emperor had woken up.
The emperor woke up and was conscious, but he had been lying in bed for many days and could not speak or move. He witnessed his sons killing each other with his own eyes.
He tried hard to turn his head to look at the prince, and finally raised his hand.
Is this what you want me to see?
He thought it would be better to continue to faint, at least he wouldn't have to witness such a cruel side.
In just this short period of time, he had heard the screams of several of his sons.
"Prince." The emperor's voice was hoarse and he shouted with great effort and in a low voice, but Prince Ying Haoze still heard it.
He stood at the head of the bed, looking at this emperor who was once high and mighty and could make these nobles tremble with fear with just a word or a look.
At this moment, like many helpless old people in this world, he begged with his eyes to his eldest son who could support the family business, hoping that he would take action to prevent this tragedy.
"Isn't this what you've always wanted to see? I just brought it forward." But this time, I am the one who is confident of victory behind the scenes, not the deposed prince who was eliminated early.
"No——" the emperor tried his best but could only shake his head slightly. He pointed his finger under his pillow.
The prince signaled the imperial physician to take a look, and he unexpectedly found a secret decree that the emperor had hidden.
Just as the prince was about to open it, the queen finally noticed the commotion. She felt uneasy, especially when she saw the shining imperial edict.
"The prince wants to kill the king!" The queen instinctively knew that she couldn't let the prince open the imperial edict, so she suddenly spoke out at the critical moment. Those brothers who were still fighting each other, who originally wanted to get rid of the prince in the end, now all looked at the prince.
After exchanging glances, everyone decided to get rid of the prince first.
Originally they had sent people to the East Palace to capture them all, but who knew that the prince was so diligent and served in front of the palace every day.
Well, it would be the same if we could take advantage of the chaos to get rid of the prince.
"Kill the prince, be the first to get the merit, and be directly granted the title of marquis." I don't know which prince shouted it first, and then he was echoed by many others. The prince became their common enemy.
"See, they don't want to do what you wish." The prince took the imperial edict but did not rush to open it. He still had the leisure to accompany the emperor to watch the tragedy on earth.
He left his back to the enemy, thinking that he could easily take the prince's head, but suddenly many men in black emerged from the bedroom and surrounded the prince and the emperor.
These people raised their swords and swung them, and the rebel army assembled by the princes was quickly suppressed as if they were a bunch of misshapen melons and jujubes.
The Eleventh Prince knew that this was his only chance. He looked at the Eighth Prince who was still hesitating, and suddenly pushed out a guard when no one was paying attention. The guard was not paying attention, and the knife in his hand just stabbed the Eighth Prince through.
"Myna! Myna was killed by a spy." The Eleventh Prince cried miserably, completely enraging the soldiers and generals brought by the Eighth Prince. The Queen in the palace also heard it.
"To avenge the Eighth Prince, kill, kill."
The queen thought her son had been killed and all her hopes were dashed.
Since she has no hope, no one in this room should have any hope.
"Your Majesty's deadline is approaching. You are all my sons. Whoever survives today will be the one I support to ascend to this position.
Of course, the Crown Prince must die! "If it weren't for the Empress Yuan's legitimate son, her son would have been the Crown Prince, and there would be no need to fight with these bastards.
There are still a few princes who are capable of fighting. After listening to the Queen's words, especially the Eleventh Prince who has no background, if they get the Queen's support and the Emperor and the Crown Prince die of illness one after another, then their chance will come.
The originally weak princes in the palace were suddenly in a state of decline after the eleventh prince led in a group of people with high morale.
The emperor remained lying in bed. He could not stop his sons from fighting, but he watched it all like an outsider.
His sons are all determined to get his position, and there is no friendship between the brothers at all.
Looking at his sons who were once full of life, now either lying in a pool of blood or seriously injured, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Prince, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong." He said this slowly and anxiously, wanting the prince to stop quickly. He wanted to see his sons fighting each other for this position, but he didn't want to see his sons die before him.
The prince looked at the emperor at this moment without any mercy, but he still did as he wished and quickly controlled this palace coup with different motives.
Seeing that the situation was under control, he signaled the surviving little prince to read the imperial edict.
The prince succeeds to the throne!
The prince succeeds to the throne!
The surviving prince let out a miserable laugh.
"I don't accept it! Today, even if I have to die, I will bring down a hypocritical guy like you!" The Fourth Prince is the most sound one except the Eleventh Prince.
