Chapter 400: Extremely Disheartened
Just after he finished asking this question, before Chu Murong could answer, he heard him say exaggeratedly:
"Father, if all else fails, we can just admit our mistakes to the Crown Prince. As long as he's willing to let us go, that'll be all!"
"Yes, father, blood is thicker than water. No matter what, we are relatives with blood ties." The fourth prince Chu Shiyin also quickly agreed.
He is the son of Concubine Lin and the youngest prince.
As for this son, Chu Murong didn't even want to look at him.
Everyone in the capital knew that their son was a playboy who spent his entire life among women and had no interest in studying.
He had asked the master to teach him many times, but to no avail.
Over time, he slowly gave up.
I didn't expect that he could still speak eloquently and say phrases like blood is thicker than water.
It really made him look at it with new eyes.
Thinking of this, Chu Murong showed a hint of sarcasm again.
Of course, if they can remain so naive, it may be a good thing for them.
If what happened today is true, at least they still have a chance to survive.
It’s just a pity that their actions made him extremely disappointed.
As their father, he had been here for such a long time but had not heard a single greeting from them.
At this time, they always think about themselves.
Although this is human instinct, it also shows that they are selfish.
How can a selfish person dare to expect others to care about him?
"Don't you have anything else to say to me?" Chu Murong asked sarcastically.
When he asked this question, the smile on his face never faded.
Of course, anyone who knew him knew that a smile like that was a sign of anger.
But how could they notice these things at this time?
At this moment, their minds are full of how they can save their lives and how to continue their previous romantic and well-off life.
"Father, your son...your son..."
“Come in, come in…”
Before Chu Shixiang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chu Shiyin beside him.
I saw him trembling and pointing at a certain place at the door, so scared that he couldn't even speak.
"Prince? Prince...Prince, please don't do anything rash, we..."
"Hahaha... You've been surrounded. I advise you to surrender! It would save me from having to do it myself. That would be embarrassing."
Chu Shiwei said excitedly as he looked at the people in the Yangxin Palace.
As he said this, his eyes never left that magnificent place.
soon......
soon......
Soon he will be able to take that seat.
"Prince, you are plotting a rebellion, do you know that? You will be beheaded!" Chu Shixiang said sadly.
"Beheading? Treason? That position originally belonged to me, who dares to snatch it from me?" Chu Shiwei said sinisterly to Chu Shixiang.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Shixiang and continued, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. If I had sat on it, wouldn't you have no chance? Third brother, this prince really can't understand why you think you have the ability to compete with me?"
"If you were still blind, I might have considered sparing your life. But you insisted on having your eyes healed to fight with me. You can't blame me for that."
After Chu Shiwei finished speaking, he looked at Chu Murong again and said sarcastically:
"Father, it's time for you to retire. Didn't Eunuch Huang always say that you were not in good health? Retiring will be better for everyone. Don't worry, after I ascend the throne, I will definitely be diligent and care for the people..."
"Prince, I didn't. I never thought about taking that position. You can't kill me, you can't kill me..."
"And me, me too, you know, I only like beautiful women, I'm not interested in anything else, please, don't kill me..."
Chu Shiyin and Chu Shirong pleaded bitterly.
As they said this, the two of them had already knelt down towards Chu Shiwei.
Seeing this, Chu Murong was so angry that his veins were popping out.
He didn't expect that his two sons would be so cowardly.
He knew that the two men had no ability, but it was really embarrassing to see them act so cowardly.
"Father..." Chu Shixiang called in a low voice.
Seeing Chu Murong like this, Chu Shixiang was really worried that he would get hurt.
At this time, even Chu Shixiang was worried about why his cousin's troops had not arrived yet.
But considering that Eunuch Huang had left, and my cousin was far away in Lujia Village, it would take some time for him to come here.
All he can do now is to prolong the time as much as possible.
It was obvious that the emperor was very angry, and Chu Shiyin and Chu Shirong were even more unreliable.
Now the only one I can rely on is him.
Thinking of this, Chu Shixiang said to the prince again: "Prince, do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"
"Oh? Are you trying to reason with this prince?"
"No, I'm just telling you. Even if you get what you want, how will the world view you? You're stepping on the corpses of your own family and brothers to ascend to power. Can you live with your conscience?"
After saying this, Chu Shixiang himself didn't know what else to say.
He only knew that he had to wait until his cousin arrived in order to ensure the lives of his father and the others.
However, as soon as this idea came to his mind, it was broken by Zhen Jianting who just rushed in.
"Prince, why are you still talking to him? Just kill him. It will do us no good if we continue to delay."
Zhen Jianting was very familiar with the abdication practices throughout the dynasties.
What matters is speed.
Within two quarters of an hour, the prince came in.
Zhen Jianting thought that they had already started fighting with the Imperial Guards.
He was just about to come in to help, but when he came in he saw this scene.
For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
It felt like Chu Shixiang was delaying time, waiting for something.
Thinking of this, Zhen Jianting's hands continued to move without stopping.
"Kill everyone here, leave no one alive!" Zhen Jianting shouted to the elite soldiers behind him.
At this point, they have no way out.
Either the other person dies or you die.
Anyone who is not a fool will choose to kill the other party!
Upon hearing Zhen Jianting's words, the elite soldiers immediately rushed towards Chu Murong.
Soon the shadow jumped out from the darkness again, and without thinking, he waved his sword to block it...
"Protect the Emperor..."
Following Shadow's words, a number of guards rushed over from a distance.
