Chapter 56 The Childless Middle-Aged Man (55)



King Cheng looked up and saw a dense mass of heads, while his own people, including himself, were surrounded by another group of people.

In this situation, even if they wanted to retreat, they had no way to do so. They might as well fight to the death and leave their fate to fate.

"In this situation, we have no other choice but to see if we can break through."

At this moment, Prime Minister Jiang also realized what was going on. He glanced to the side and instantly understood what Prince Cheng meant.

The dog emperor brought so many people, their chances of winning are almost nonexistent now. They can only try to find a breakthrough, get out first, and then discuss the rest later.

What they didn't expect was that, just as they were speaking, the leader and deputy leader of the Imperial Guard had already arrived behind them. Just as they were about to move, they were subdued by a single move, leaving them with no ability to resist.

“Everyone stop. Your heads are in my hands. If you don’t stop, I can’t guarantee what might happen.”

Upon hearing the Imperial Guard leader say this, the people on King Cheng's side immediately looked in their direction.

When they saw King Cheng being captured, they hesitated, unsure whether to stop or continue.

Before King Cheng could speak, Prime Minister Jiang, who had also been captured, immediately shouted.

"What are you doing? Stop right now! Do you want Prince Cheng to be killed by them?"

As soon as he said this, the cold gaze of Prince Cheng immediately shot towards him, but unfortunately, Prime Minister Jiang did not know what he had said wrong.

Upon hearing what Prime Minister Jiang said, the men on King Cheng's side immediately laid down their weapons.

The Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward and pinned them down one by one.

Mo Yuhan slowly walked up to King Cheng, reached out and pulled off the veil covering King Cheng's face, revealing King Cheng's face.

King Cheng's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were like those of a venomous snake, staring fiercely at Mo Yuhan.

In his eyes now, Mo Yuhan is his enemy.

The moment he pulled off the face mask, Mo Yuhan appropriately showed a hint of surprise on his face, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"King Cheng, how could it be you? Why did you do this? I believe that I have always treated you well. Why did you try to murder me today?"

King Cheng looked at Mo Yuhan in front of him and said with a cold smile: "Why? You're asking me why now? Don't you think it's too late?"

"I just don't understand why you were born the Crown Prince. I didn't even have a fair chance to fight for that position. Is it just because you were born to the Empress?"

King Cheng's tone was full of indignation. He had been planning this for a long time, but today his plans were disrupted by a child. Otherwise, he would not have been defeated so easily.

Cheng Wang's words made Mo Yuhan frown. He felt that Cheng Wang was being unreasonable and that these things were all predetermined.

"Since it has fallen into your hands, there is nothing I can do. Do with it as you please."

King Cheng collapsed in an instant, and the light in his eyes went out in a flash.

"Take him away! And the people around him, don't let him escape."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Prime Minister Jiang carefully moved to the side.

What he didn't know was that the Imperial Guards were watching him the whole time, and there was no way he could escape.

Upon hearing Mo Yuhan's voice, Prime Minister Jiang's expression changed instantly. Helpless, he could only pull down the veil on his face and shout anxiously at Mo Yuhan beside him.

"Your Majesty, my daughter is Consort Jing, and Consort Jing is pregnant with Your Majesty's child. May I see Consort Jing one last time?"

Upon hearing his words, Mo Yuhan couldn't help but frown. Now that Consort Jing was pregnant, he didn't want such troublesome matters to affect Jiang Jingyue's mind, so Mo Yuhan did not agree.

"I believe that Consort Jing has no desire to see a traitor like you. I will never agree to this."

Upon hearing that the Emperor refused, Prime Minister Jiang became anxious. He had prepared his explanation and was ready to plead with Jiang Jingyue, but if he couldn't even see her, he would have no chance to plead at all.

Upon thinking of this, Prime Minister Jiang became anxious and looked at Mo Yuhan, unable to help but speak again.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this. Consort Jing must really want to see me. She always listens to me the most. If Your Majesty punishes me without considering the consequences, aren't you worried that Consort Jing will blame you when she finds out?"

It has to be said that this is something Mo Yuhan is really worried about, especially since Jiang Jingyue is pregnant now. What if she gets too excited when she hears this news?

Mo Yuhan had actually considered this matter, but he was worried that if Prime Minister Jiang went to see Jiang Jingyue, he would be reluctant to do so if Jiang Jingyue softened her heart and pleaded for him.

The most important thing now is to severely punish someone like Prime Minister Jiang, so Mo Yuhan decided to imprison him and let him spend the rest of his life in prison.

Mo Yuhan was worried that if Jiang Jingyue pleaded for him later, he would be unable to resist agreeing to her request.

But he had to admit that Prime Minister Jiang was right. If Jiang Jing knew that he had punished her father without even telling her, he wouldn't know how to appease her if she got angry later.

Moreover, Jiang Jingyue is pregnant, and if she gets too excited, it could have a negative impact on the baby.

"I will inquire about this matter for you. As for whether Consort Jing will see you or not, that is your problem. Guards, take them away."

Zhao Furong hid inside the carriage the whole time. She had sensed something was wrong when the Emperor was about to take her away, so she sent someone to deliver the message to her father as fast as possible.

Tell her father that no matter what, he must not travel with Prince Cheng this time. No matter what Prince Cheng says, he must not go with her.

She had a bad feeling that this time, King Cheng might be finished.

She was worried that her father, eager for merit, would set off with Prince Cheng. Fortunately, he didn't come. Otherwise, there would definitely have been one more person thrown into prison today.

Mo Yuhan was not surprised that Prime Minister Zhao did not appear; he already knew that Zhao Furong had tipped him off.

But it's alright, we still have a use for Prime Minister Zhao.
