In the past month, Xie Yin and Qi Jinzhao have successfully reached a cooperation agreement. Xie Yin provides the brains behind the scenes, while Qi Jinzhao fights in the court.
The two worked together and successfully carved out a bloody path in the imperial court. More and more people supported Qi Jinchao, while the Second Prince's faction was gradually suppressed.
The second prince finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Fortunately, one of his schemes is about to succeed.
That was Bai Zhan.
During this month, Xi Xingxue was essentially "neglected" by the emperor.
Bai Zhan presented the emperor with various talismans and concocted medicines.
The emperor's face was radiant, his blood and energy were abundant, and he was so energetic that he could run ten laps around the palace every day.
At this point, one of the imperial physicians became worried.
He said, "Your Majesty, this is excessive replenishment, prematurely depleting your lifespan! You must not continue!"
The emperor remained unmoved and even dismissed him from his post.
When Xi Xingxue was at the height of her fame, the officials had their doubts, but the answer was that Xi Xingxue had not caused any harm to the emperor.
Even erysipelas doesn't exist.
However, when it came to Bai Zhan, the emperor's condition was clearly not quite right.
Just as the officials were preparing to submit a lengthy memorial to the emperor...
Something happened.
The emperor fainted in the Golden Palace in front of all the high-ranking officials of the court.
Everyone was horrified: "Your Majesty!!!"
Then the emperor fell seriously ill.
The imperial physician diagnosed that the medicine Bai Zhan had prepared, as well as the talismans he had made, were all poisonous!
They can force out the yang energy from the emperor's body, making him lively and energetic.
At the same time, he forced out the emperor's yang energy, causing a severe deficiency in the emperor's yang energy supply, which eventually led to the emperor being bedridden and unable to even open his eyes.
Although Master Bai Zhan was beheaded as a result.
But the second prince felt confident that this was a sure thing.
You see, the emperor only loved his mother, who is now the empress, so his will would definitely make him the successor, and the crown prince would step down.
The reason the emperor has kept Qi Jinzhao as the crown prince all these years must be because being the crown prince would make him vulnerable to attacks from many other princes, and this would protect him.
So the second prince was very pleased with himself and couldn't wait to sneak a peek at the emperor's will, which had been prepared long ago.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is astonishing.
The heir to the throne listed in the will is none other than Qi Jinzhao!!!
The second prince was immediately enraged, feeling that his father had probably never loved him.
He wanted to kill his father immediately and seize the throne.
However, his mother was also present at that time, and she still had genuine feelings for his father, so he couldn't act immediately.
He could only go back and think of a solution first.
But it seems the emperor's days are truly numbered.
No matter how the imperial physicians tried to diagnose him, he couldn't open his eyes.
The second prince wanted to change the will.
But at that very moment, the emperor opened his eyes.
The second prince knew that he only had one choice left.
If the emperor knew his days were numbered and told someone else that he would pass the throne to Qi Jinchao, then he was doomed.
He immediately chose to force the emperor to abdicate.
........
On the night the second prince forced the emperor to abdicate, huge flames shot into the sky, burning half of the night sky red.
The entire palace was filled with screams and screams, a cacophony that sent chills down one's spine.
The forces of the Second Prince Qi Yi and Qi Jinzhao fought side by side, with no distinction between them.
But clearly, no one expected Qi Yi to make a sudden move, catching Qi Jinzhao's men off guard.
Therefore, Qi Jinchao's forces were at a disadvantage.
Xi Xingxue led a group of people, carrying a bunch of bombs, and resolutely stormed into the palace.
The chaotic screams pierced his eardrums, and his figure turned into a gust of wind, blowing to Qi Jinzhao's side.
Qi Jinzhao was covered in blood, and his injured legs were weak and he could not stand steadily. When he turned around, he saw Xi Xingxue's figure and was shocked.
"How did you get here? Get out of here, it's dangerous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yi's men charged towards Xi Xingxue with their swords drawn.
Qi Jinzhao quickly kicked the person in front of him over and ran towards Xi Xingxue.
However, just as he lifted his foot, a loud bang rang in his ears.
"Bang!" Sparks exploded everywhere, instantly illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime. The group of people were sent flying before they even got close to Xi Xingxue.
Qi Jinzhao was stunned.
Why did Xi Xingxue bring over a bunch of bombs?
Of course, since this was a bomb, Xi Xingxue couldn't just throw it around, otherwise she might accidentally injure people.
He simply instructed his men to lure all the enemies over there, the more the better, and then blow them up.
This powerful bomb wiped out many of Qi Yi's men in an instant.
With Xi Xingxue and the others joining the fray, the situation instantly reversed, and Qi Jinzhao and his group took the lead and gained the upper hand.
In the end, Qi Jinzhao won.
Qi Yi was escorted to the emperor.
The extremely weak and dying emperor struggled to open his eyes, staring at Qi Yi with pained eyes.
Why did you force him to abdicate?
"Why are you so rebellious?"
"Have I ever wronged you in any way?"
At that moment, the emperor felt sorry for Qi Jinchao, who was covered in blood beside him.
Qi Jinzhao grew up without being loved. Although he has some flaws in his personality, he is a very upright person, governs well, and is very suitable for the position of crown prince.
On the contrary, Qi Yi.
He gave him so much, things that others had never received.
In the end, he killed his father, the emperor, for the throne.
Qi Yi turned his face away: "I only want the throne. You've never understood me! Now that things have come to this, let's kill each other as we go."
