A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1580 Brother, this is a sign of death
This is courting death. Even if you are not afraid of the emperor, you cannot break the surface of respect. Being too arrogant will definitely not end well. Even if the emperor is in trouble in this life, there are still others in the royal family.
Feng Qingchen shook his head and observed a moment of silence for the Xie family!
With such a brainless head, the Xie family is in danger. She can consider taking over the Xie family's territory in Dongling.
That’s right, the person who threatened the emperor with words was the Patriarch of the Xie family. He was sitting in the Dragon King’s chair at this moment, looking at the emperor standing beside him with contempt.
The emperor said nothing. Looking at his face, it was rosy and natural, and he didn't look seriously ill at all.
Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince naturally couldn't see what was happening inside the house, they could only listen to the sounds inside.
The head of the Xie family did not get a response for a long time, so he said, "Your Majesty, I advise you to accept your fate and don't expect the Wang family and the Ninth Prince to save you. The Wang family is famous for being aloof and arrogant, and they will not participate in the struggle for imperial power. When the Lan family was destroyed, they asked the Wang family for help but were ruthlessly rejected by the Wang family. Do you think you can be compared with the Lan family of the previous dynasty?"
The emperor still did not speak. The head of the Xie family seemed annoyed and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, I will tell you the truth. Feng Qingchen went out of the city to meet Wang Jinling today. I know Wang Jinling is going back to the city, but how can I let him come back alive? Tonight... After tonight, the famous young master will be a thing of the past."
Feng Qingchen's eyes suddenly widened, and the emperor was also shocked. He finally spoke: "What... do you mean?"
"Your Majesty didn't understand what I meant literally. I sent people to kill Wang Jinling... With ten times more experts than the Wang family guards, do you think Wang Jinling can come back alive?" The head of the Xie family did not hide his pride.
"You... are so brave." The emperor was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and Feng Qingchen also broke out in a cold sweat.
If Wang Jinling died, she would be the culprit.
The Ninth Prince held Feng Qingchen's shoulder and silently told her not to worry, that Wang Jinling would be fine.
Feng Qingchen bit her lip and nodded gently...
"How come your Xie family has so many masters? Aren't you afraid of revenge from the Wang family?" The emperor asked the question that Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince wanted to ask.
If Wang Jinling died, the Wang family would definitely take revenge with the whole clan.
Wang Jinling is the hope of the Wang family. Without Wang Jinling at the helm, it is hard to say whether the Wang family can survive this storm. The Xie family wants to kill Wang Jinling, which is equivalent to cutting off the entire Wang family's path.
"Of course I am afraid of the Wang family's revenge, so please don't worry about me, Your Majesty. No matter how stupid I am, I will never use my own people to assassinate Wang Jinling." No matter whether Wang Jinling is dead or alive, as long as it is found out that it was done by the Xie family, the Xie family will be in trouble. How could he take risks with the Xie family?
"You used..." The emperor was shocked, fearing that his guess would come true. As the emperor thought, the Xie family actually used his people to assassinate Wang Jinling.
"How dare you." The emperor was so angry that his face turned blue and the veins on his forehead bulged, making him look extremely ferocious.
The head of the Xie family laughed and asked, "Your Majesty, why shouldn't I dare? Do you dare to kill me?"
"You, you..." The emperor was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
The Xie family is killing someone with a borrowed knife, making the Wang family confront them. By then, Dongling will probably collapse from within, just like the Lan Dynasty back then.
"Your Majesty, I don't have time to talk to you. Take out the jade seal. This imperial edict is just one step away." The head of the Xie family stood up and forced the emperor to the desk: "Your Majesty, I will give you one incense stick of time. After one incense stick, I want to see the jade seal on the imperial edict, otherwise... just enjoy it."
After the head of the Xie family left, the emperor was the only one left in the hall. He slumped in his chair with dull eyes.
He didn't know how he had come to this point.
The time of one incense stick is enough!
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen looked at each other and nodded slightly. Then the Ninth Prince pushed the door of the secret room, and the two of them came face to face with the Emperor.
"You, you..." Seeing the sudden appearance of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, the emperor was so shocked that he was speechless.
"Royal brother, be quiet." The Ninth Prince seldom addressed the Emperor like this. Once he uttered this title, it meant that he was on the Emperor's side at the moment.
The emperor was no fool, and naturally understood his current situation. Although he was shocked, he was able to remain calm and lowered his voice and asked, "Ninth brother, how did you get into the palace?"
Is there a secret passage in this palace that I don’t know about?
The emperor felt cold all over at the thought of this possibility.
Could it be that he has been living under Dong Lingjiu's nose for so many years?
The Ninth Prince knew what the Emperor was thinking, but he had no intention of explaining it to him. He just smiled coldly and asked, "Brother Emperor, we only have one stick of incense left. Are you sure you want to hold me accountable here?"
The emperor's expression changed, and he nodded gently: "Ninth brother is right, I only have one stick of incense to spare."
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to say to me?" The Ninth Prince looked at the Emperor calmly, waiting for his reply.
The emperor did not speak, but handed the imperial edict in his hand to the ninth uncle: "Ninth brother, take a look."
The emperor needs to have equal status with the Ninth Prince, rather than letting the Ninth Prince dominate.
"Your Majesty, please let me guard the imperial mausoleum so that you can plan well." The Ninth Prince took a look at it and threw it back to the Emperor, not taking the Emperor's threat seriously at all.
"Ninth brother, once I affix my imperial seal to this imperial edict, you will be disobeying my order if you do not go." The emperor was threatening, but he forgot that he had no capital to threaten his ninth uncle at the moment.
"Disobeying the imperial order? Are you talking about the King of Jiangnan?" A month had passed since the King of Jiangnan received the imperial order to hang himself, but he still did not obey the order.
The imperial edict is not a joke in their eyes.
The emperor's face turned pale and blue. He knew how ridiculous the recent absurd imperial edicts were. But he was controlled by others, so what could he do?
Alas... The emperor sighed heavily, and in an instant he seemed to have aged several years. The emperor no longer hid his feelings and said bluntly: "Ninth brother, you have seen the wolfish ambitions of the Xie family. I don't want anything else now. I just hope that the kingdom of Dongling will not be destroyed in my hands, so that I can face my father after my death."
The emperor never expected that the Xie family would seize power while the Ninth Prince was out of the capital and he was seriously ill. He was careless for a moment and put himself in a dilemma.
He had fought and argued with Dong Lingjiu all his life, but he never expected that in the end he would still ask Dong Lingjiu for help and rely on Dong Lingjiu to protect Dong Ling's vast territory.
He really found it hard to accept this gap.
The Ninth Prince didn't care whether the emperor was happy or sad. Now was not the time to break up with the Xie family. His time was limited and he didn't have time to accompany the emperor in his sadness.
The Ninth Prince asked directly: "Brother, what do you want to do?"
The emperor's life is still in the hands of the Xie family. From what the emperor has done recently, it can be seen that the emperor is afraid of death. He doesn't want to be sold out by the emperor afterwards...
