"Will the Emperor really pass the throne to Prince Rong?" Zhong Mingwei pursed his lips coldly, and said, "If the Emperor really wanted to pass the throne to Prince Rong, why didn't he leave an imperial edict? Why didn't he summon the court officials? Even the left prime minister didn't know anything?" At this point, Zhong Mingwei's voice became even colder, "If the Emperor really wanted to pass the throne to Prince Rong, then why did Eunuch Zhao die? What fatal thing did Eunuch Zhao do to make Prince Rong so miserable that he had to be poisoned to death?"
"You...how did you know?" Ling Shi'an's mouth twitched violently, and he looked at Zhong Mingwei while panting, "No, it's impossible! How could you know so much?"
"If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it yourself," Zhong Mingwei said coldly, "That night, Prince Rong led his troops to the palace and tried to poison His Majesty. He also ordered people to take over the residences of a number of important officials of the royal family. Ling Shian, is this what you call His Majesty intending to pass the throne to Prince Rong, and Prince Rong being so filial and guarding His Majesty's bedside?"
"You are talking nonsense! You are making up stories! Your Highness was originally the candidate for the crown prince chosen by His Majesty! His Majesty has given His Highness full authority to handle all the major and minor matters in the court. Even a blind man can see what His Majesty means! Who in this world doesn't know that Your Highness is the future new emperor? How could His Highness have the intention of forcing the emperor to abdicate and usurp the throne?" Ling Shian retorted coldly, "It's Prince An who is really a double-faced and good at acting. You just drag your two crippled legs and pretend to be pitiful, so that His Majesty softens his heart and doesn't care about the heinous disasters you have caused in the past. He promoted you, a cripple, to be Prince An, and not only that, he also summoned you back to the capital. But who would have thought that you actually harbored evil intentions! In the past, you were in cahoots with Fang Zuotang in Ningguta! Now that you are back in the capital, it is inevitable that you have even bigger thoughts. Seeing that the Fourth Prince was favored by the Emperor, you actually had the intention to kill him, colluded with the Western King, and killed the Fourth Prince!" At this point, Ling Shi'an couldn't help but sneered, "Do you think that without the Fourth Prince, the Emperor will be able to like you? As a result, the Emperor didn't even look at you at all. Instead, he valued Prince Rong more and handed over the court to him to manage. It was obvious that he wanted to help Prince Rong ascend to the throne. You knew that Prince Rong would definitely avenge the Fourth Prince after he ascended to the throne, so you panicked. So on the night of June 30, as soon as you learned that the Emperor's condition had worsened, you hurriedly fled the capital! Haha, just like you said just now, if you don't want others to know, you must not do it yourself. Sooner or later, all your actions will be exposed to the world! You can just wait for your infamy to last for thousands of years!"
The more Kong Wenmin listened, the angrier he became. At this moment, he suddenly grabbed Ling Shian's collar and raised his fist towards his pale face: "I'll beat your lousy mouth to pieces..."
"Wenmin, forget it," Zhong Mingwei said slowly. He was not angry at all. Seeing Kong Wenmin let go of Ling Shian, Zhong Mingwei suddenly curled his lips in a sarcastic way and said, "You want to die, right? I won't let you have your way. I have to let you live well and show you how a double-faced, evil-minded cripple like me can take over the country from your master bit by bit. So, there's no need to irritate me. Save yourself some words."
"You!" Ling Shi'an was shocked and angry, stiffening his neck, but he couldn't say anything anymore.
Mei Ya had been sitting aside for a long time. At this moment, she could no longer bear it and asked Ling Shian with a frown, "Didn't Dai Jingfeng order Jiang Jinwan to be executed? How come he is still alive? What is his relationship with you?"
Ling Shian sneered at Mei Ya and said nothing, looking as if he would never open his mouth even if beaten to death.
