Chapter 338 Their Master is Like the Crown Prince, the Situation is Over
The most infuriating thing was that that idiot Ji Mingzhao always fought with him fiercely on weekdays. No matter what he wanted to do, Ji Mingzhao would always show up at the right time to interfere. This was the third time he had hindered his plans. But when the crisis really came and he needed his help to find a solution, he hid in his mansion outside the palace and dared not show up.
He is a real useless guy who only knows how to bully others at home. No wonder even though there are court officials supporting him, they cannot let the emperor give him power!
Ji Mingzhao, who was scolded by Ji Mingshuo in his heart, was now jumping up and down in his mansion. Did he not want to enter the palace? He couldn't enter the palace!
The gates of each palace in the imperial palace were filled with Prince Xiao's men. No matter who they were, anyone who approached the palace gate would be stopped outside and not allowed to enter the palace. Even if they took out the imperial sword, it would not work. They would not be allowed to enter.
The latest news his people just brought back is that his father has passed away!
Ji Mingzhao was even more anxious and angry. No news could be delivered from the palace, and their people could not enter. There was no communication with the harem at all. The words "the emperor passed away" were spread all over the streets.
The emperor passed away, which was a great mourning for the country. Normally, all the princes and court officials had to enter the palace, but Prince Xiao still refused to let them in. Anyone who dared to break in by force would be arrested.
All these factors combined not only make it difficult to see clearly, but also make people feel anxious and uneasy.
"How are the guards at the palace gates? Have our people sneaked in?" Seeing the secret guards hurriedly running into the study, Ji Mingzhao stood up hurriedly and asked anxiously.
The guard shook his head and knelt down to report, "Master, our people still haven't been able to sneak into the palace. The palace is like an iron barrel now, and it's impossible to get in easily."
Ji Mingzhao naturally knew that since Ji Xiaohan's men entered the palace, all their secret lines had been cut off, and no news had been heard. It was even difficult for him to find Ji Mingshuo.
After two days of little sleep, Ji Mingzhao's eyes were bloodshot. "Alright, keep trying to find a way to get into the palace. Father has been held hostage by Prince Xiao for so long, and now there's news of his sudden death. There must be something fishy going on."
"Yes!" The hidden guard groaned in his heart, but still took the order and left.
No matter how many times they tried, the result was the same. Prince Xiao's men had already taken control of the entire palace. No one in the palace could contact the outside world. Their master, like the crown prince, was doomed.
But such words are not what they should say as subordinates.
The death of the emperor meant the ascension of the new emperor to the throne. Ji Xiaohan ordered his men to clean up Ji Yueze's body before he took the late emperor's edict and slowly walked out of the hall.
At the Noon Gate of the Imperial Palace, a lot of people were noisily gathered. Some were court officials, and some were servants sent by various families to gather information. They gathered together in a huge crowd, and when they saw Prince Xiao coming out surrounded by people, everyone fell silent.
Looking at what Prince Xiao was holding in his hand, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
That is—the late emperor's will?!
A young eunuch sang shrilly, "Prince Xiao has brought the late emperor's will and is here to welcome all the ministers into the palace. Let them pass!"
The soldiers guarding the palace gate immediately made way to allow the ministers, who had been arguing all day, to enter.
The ministers who were originally clamoring and showing off their might at the palace gate, when they saw the late emperor's will in Prince Xiao's hand and the profound aura on Prince Xiao's face, all lowered their heads and followed him inside without asking a single question.
