On the night of the full moon, Yanxi Palace, located deep in the palace, was trembling with fear.

Emperor Nan Shao was critically ill, and it should be natural for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne. However, at this moment, Emperor Nan Shao, even though he was lying on the sickbed, was still resisting.

The queen was wearing a phoenix crown and was dressed elegantly and luxuriously. Her slender red phoenix eyes glanced contemptuously at the pale and powerless Emperor Nan Shao.

In his hand, he held a bowl of "medicinal food". He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the bowl of "medicinal food" from time to time. Then he looked at Emperor Nan Shao with a bit more provocation in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you want to write the edict of succession yourself, or do you want me to drink this bowl of medicinal food for you personally?"

What the queen had in her hand was naturally not a real medicinal meal, but a bowl of highly poisonous medicine. As long as Emperor Nan Shao drank a sip, he would die of the poison. The terrible thing about this poison was that it was colorless and tasteless. A poisoned person would only feel weak and powerless and die in a coma. If a person was already weak after taking this poison, even an experienced imperial physician would not be able to determine the real cause of death.

The Queen's hand, holding the spoon, stirred the medicinal food twice, and the sneer in the corner of her eyes deepened. This was what she had prepared for Emperor Nan Shao.

Emperor Nan Shao stared at the bowl of "medicinal food" with his eyes pale, and suddenly anger appeared in his eyes: "You, are you trying to kill the king?"

The queen sneered: "We certainly don't dare to kill the king, but we hope that the emperor will cooperate."

The queen pulled out a bright yellow scroll from her sleeve and looked at Emperor Nan Shao with shining eyes: "Your Majesty, look, I have written the imperial edict for you. All you have to do is hand over the imperial seal."

"Don't even think about asking me to hand over the imperial seal."

Emperor Nan Shao looked at the imperial edict with intense hatred in his eyes. He widened his eyes and shouted heart-wrenchingly.

"Your Majesty, please don't refuse a toast and then drink a punishment wine. My patience is limited."

"You, you vicious woman, why are you playing such a joke on me?"

Emperor Nan Shao stared at the empress. The thirty years of love between them as husband and wife, and the comradeship they had fought side by side, had long since vanished. He thought that he had given them enough honor and disgrace. Although he was not willing to make Long Lingxun the crown prince, nor did he want to pass the throne to him, Emperor Nan Shao knew that if Long Mosun ascended the throne, he would definitely ensure that the empress and her son would live in glory for the rest of their lives, as long as they had not been so heartbroken.

"You, you will not succeed."

"Whether I succeed or not is not up to Your Majesty to decide. After all, the situation is set now. Your Long Moxun has been kicked out. Your Majesty, you should be more sensible and don't force me to take action."

With these cold words of warning, Emperor Nan Shao had lived a life of luxury all his life, but today, he was despised by the woman who was lying under him and kneeling in front of him. That was his shame.

"I've said it before, I, Kul, will never give you the Imperial Seal. You and your son, don't even think about sitting on the throne."

The queen snorted coldly, "Then don't blame me for not being so young."

She snorted coldly, pushed Emperor Nan Shao away, and searched the house for the imperial seal.

This palace is not very big, and the Emperor Nan Shao must carry something as important as the imperial seal with him.

She searched for a long time, and finally found the jade seal in the box next to Emperor Nan Shao's pillow.

The moment she got the imperial seal, the empress's eyes lit up. She looked at the seal with some obsession. The light from the seal illuminated her old face.

She opened the imperial edict, grabbed Emperor Nan Shao's hand, and at the last moment, she stamped the important seal.

Closing the scroll, the queen laughed wildly: "Hahahahahahaha, the throne is ours."

Emperor Nan Shao looked ashen as he watched the empress stride out of the palace. At this moment, the moon was high in the sky and everything seemed to be going on as it should be. However, Long Lingxun, who was standing on the platform, had a serious expression on his face.

He was about to reach the supreme position, but he was still uneasy in his heart. Everything went too smoothly, which made him a little nervous. Some things, which were supposed to come, would always come. If it delayed the Dalai Lama's time, it could only be said that there was another conspiracy.

Long Lingxun couldn't believe that until today, Long Mosun was still indifferent, even though the time he chose was the night of the full moon, when Long Mosun's poison would take effect.

"Pass the order down, all guards must keep a strict watch and not let down their guard. Tonight, this palace will not allow any mistakes to happen."

"yes."

Everyone said "yes" with one heart, which made Long Lingxin feel more confident. Even if Long Moshun made some moves, so what? This palace was already controlled by them, mother and son. If Long Moshun came here to usurp the throne, he would make sure he died without a burial place.

"My prince, I got the things."

The Queen appeared behind Long Lingxun for some unknown reason. She only said one word, but the uncontrollable excitement in her eyes made Long Lingxun very happy.

"good."

Long Lingxun held the railing tightly with both hands: "Ready, go straight into the palace."

He couldn't wait any longer.

Now, he wanted to announce to the court officials and the world that he, Long Lingxun, was the ultimate winner.

"Wait, Crown Prince Long Lingxun has usurped the throne and forged an imperial edict to convey the emperor's oral instructions to capture the crown prince and the empress alive."

Just as Long Lingxun had thought, at the last moment, Long Mosun showed up. He brought a large number of troops and surrounded Long Lingxun and the Queen's group.

"Huh, I didn't expect you to come after all."

Long Lingxun looked at Long Moxun coldly. He had been waiting for him.

"Of course I have to show up, Long Lingxun. If something doesn't belong to you, no matter how hard you fight for it, it doesn't belong to you."

"What a joke."

Long Lingxun laughed out loud, his voice full of joking: "The imperial edict and the imperial seal are all in my hands. I am the final winner, and you are just a usurper. History will record your shame."

Long Lingxun thought he had a sure victory, and his tone couldn't help but become proud. The harem was controlled by the empress, and the outer court was supervised by the Gu family. Moreover, he also obtained the imperial edict and the jade seal. He was the real son of heaven, while Long Mosun was just a humble prince born to a common woman. What right did he have to compete with him?

"Long Moxun, you can't beat me."

"Really? Then why not give it a try?"

Long Moxun spoke in a deep voice, and suddenly approached Long Lingxun. With his cunning eyes, he glanced at the bright yellow scroll sticking out of Long Lingxun's sleeves, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"For the sake of our brotherhood, I kindly remind you that the imperial edict and the imperial seal in your hand are fake. Don't think that you have the lifeline of imperial power."

If you could really seize the lifeline of imperial power so quickly, then wouldn't the struggle for imperial power in the world today become more and more intense?

Long Lingxun's face darkened, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "What did you say?"

However, after a moment of panic, Long Lingxun quickly calmed down: "You lied to me, do you think I would believe your lies?"

Long Moxun was just indifferent; "Whether you believe it or not is up to you, Long Lingxun, you can't escape today."

As he spoke, Long Moxun raised his hand and commanded the troops he brought with him. Smoke rose, swords flashed, and a bloody battle for the throne was about to begin.

Deep within the walls of the imperial palace, blood was flowing. Every change of power was achieved by stepping on the blood and corpses of countless people. The struggle for imperial power, the place that symbolizes supreme power, had the blood and broken pieces of countless people under its feet.
