"Come here! The prince is plotting a rebellion. Strip him of his dragon robe and throw him into the imperial prison!"
Emperor Yong spoke in a stern voice, shocking everyone so much that their faces changed drastically.
"Your Majesty, no!"
Everyone in the palace was pleading for the prince.
Huang Pei's expression changed several times. He knew that something was really wrong with the emperor!
If this decision is really finalized, His Majesty will regret it to the point of wanting to die when he wakes up!
Thinking about how Liu Fuzi could swear a poisonous oath of "never reincarnating" for the sake of justice, how could Huang Pei, as the emperor's personal eunuch and the person who knows the emperor best, watch the emperor make one mistake after another!
Thinking of this, Huang Pei staggered forward, risking his life to throw himself beside Emperor Yong's legs, hugged Emperor Yong's legs and shouted:
"Your Majesty, no!"
"The slave... the slave is guilty! The slave is afraid of death!"
"In fact, last year, when you asked me to execute Di Zaiying, I heard Di Zaiying's last words!"
"Your Majesty, Di Zaiying is calling the Second Prince 'Bai'er'!"
"The Second Prince is indeed Di Zaiying's son. Your Majesty, you cannot make the same mistake over and over again. This will only make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind and gentle, and he regards Your Majesty as his God. You personally taught him how to be the crown prince!"
"Your actions... your actions are pushing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into an abyss of no return!"
"Your Majesty!"
Huang Pei shouted until he was hoarse, and his old body knelt at Emperor Yong's feet, shaking uncontrollably.
Emperor Yong lowered his head and looked at Huang Pei. A look of struggle flashed across his face again, and it was even distorted and crooked, which was extremely weird!
At this time, both the Crown Prince and Qiao Zhongguo noticed something was wrong.
Emperor Yong was trembling slightly, as if he could not control himself!
Thinking of this, the prince suddenly looked at the second prince and looked at his bleeding shoulder!
Could it be...the secret lies here!
What kind of witchcraft is this!
Qiao Zhongguo suddenly grabbed Doctor Zou's arm and said quickly, "Doctor Zou, you are knowledgeable. What kind of poison is so powerful that it can control the mind with blood?"
Doctor Zou's expression also changed several times. He thought about it and suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Master Qiao, this, this, this... I'm afraid this is poison! Such a monster can confuse people's minds and influence their behavior. I'm afraid it's one of the secret techniques of the Nanli Kingdom, called Gu!"
"insanity?"
Qiao Zhongguo looked confused, but Xiao Hongda suddenly realized!
He has dealt with the Nanli Kingdom for many years and knows the weirdness of the Nanli Kingdom. They have many strange people who are good at poison, medicine, and witchcraft. It is very mysterious!
Especially the Gu, which is mysterious and extremely poisonous. It is said that it can confuse the mind and even turn people into puppets!
When the Second Prince heard that everyone had guessed the clue, he raised his eyebrows, but he was fearless.
Shen Yuanbai has lived to this day, but he is just a puppet. His mother had started to set up this situation since Qiao Zhongguo attacked the city. It is far beyond the ability of today's human power to crack!
Now he can attack or defend. As long as he can control his father, there is no need to worry about not being able to turn defeat into victory!
When Qiao Zhongguo saw that the problem lay with the Second Prince, he calmly bent over to pick up a piece of the broken water bowl, secretly looking for an opportunity.
However, every time he raised his hand, he found that Emperor Yong was very close to the Second Prince. It seemed that he instinctively used his body to protect the Second Prince, making it impossible for him to find a chance to attack!
How could the Second Prince not be on guard? In this palace, Qiao Zhongguo and Xiao Hongda are the ones who should not be underestimated!
He approached Emperor Yong and said quickly:
"Look, Father, even the eunuch closest to you is loyal to me. It shows that I have been plotting for a long time and I have penetrated every hole!"
"Father, why are you still hesitant? Can you allow others to take advantage of your throne?"
The second prince said this and pinched the wound hard.
He couldn't help but groan in pain, and Emperor Yong shuddered and suddenly kicked Huang Pei in the stomach.
"You little dog slave! I trusted you so much! Damn you!"
Huang Pei fell backwards suddenly, curling up in pain.
Seeing this, Tan Hanchi, who was standing by, hurried to help Huang Pei, but Huang Pei took the opportunity to hold Tan Hanchi's hand tightly.
He coughed up blood before he could even open his mouth.
The next moment, Huang Pei lowered his voice and said in a trembling voice:
"Tan... Tan Xiuzhuan, the emperor may have noticed the current situation a few days ago. The emperor left an edict in... in the Yangxin Palace!"
"Tan Xiuzhuan, the emperor trusts you, and I trust you too. Please take me to get it quickly. Maybe... maybe we can turn the situation around!"
When Tan Hanchi heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
He looked around and saw that the situation was out of control. Lord Qiao couldn't escape. He was insignificant here, so it was a good opportunity for him to take Eunuch Huang away!
Thinking of this, Tan Hanchi hurriedly helped Huang Pei up.
At this time, Emperor Yong had already said in a cold but firm voice: "Come here, bring the prince to me!"
"And Xiao Hongda and Qiao Zhongguo, all of them will be imprisoned together!"
The Imperial Guards in the palace are directly under the command of Emperor Yong. No matter what disputes had occurred before, now that Emperor Yong seems to be fine, they will naturally obey his orders.
After the guards looked at each other, they finally drew their swords and stepped forward!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongda immediately stood in front of the prince.
Seeing the guards surrounding them, even though Qiao Zhongguo had promised Jiaojiao not to step out, he could only rush forward.
If the Second Prince's men are hiding among these guards, and if the Crown Prince is harmed, it will be truly irreparable!
Emperor Yong saw this and sneered, "My dear Minister Qiao, my suspicion is indeed true."
"Xiao Qing is the future father-in-law of the Crown Prince. I think it is understandable that he is protecting the Crown Prince today."
"But you are my important minister, and now you are on the side of the prince. This makes me extremely disappointed!"
Qiao Zhongguo felt heartbroken when he saw Emperor Yong, who was unable to distinguish right from wrong and was like a puppet.
This is the emperor that Qiao Zhongguo has supported for decades!
"Your Majesty!"
Qiao Zhongguo bowed to Emperor Yong, his eyes slightly red, and said earnestly:
"A real man, when he is paid by the emperor, should die on the battlefield and return home wrapped in his horsehide, instead of being like me today, indulging in the intrigues and deceptions of the court, walking on thin ice every day, worrying about the throne falling to someone else, and being in a state of panic all day long!"
"Your Majesty sent me to the Northern Expedition that year. You showed me your trust. I am still grateful to you and I dare not forget it even in my dreams at midnight!"
"Your Majesty, I am almost ready to give you my heart!"
Speaking of this, Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but burst into tears.
"The Crown Prince is the legitimate son of the Emperor. He is kind and virtuous, and has done nothing wrong. How could the Emperor be deceived by this villain from the Northern Kingdom and make a presumptuous proposal to depose and enthrone the Emperor? This villain's actions are truly a usurpation of power!"
"Your servant Qiao Zhongguo eats the emperor's salary. If he does not think about serving the country, he is no different from an animal! Even if I die today, I will stop the emperor from making a big mistake!"
"As for the rebellion that Your Majesty mentioned, if your servant Qiao Zhongguo has such thoughts, the Emperor will not bless him!"
Emperor Yong met Qiao Zhongguo's red eyes with a slightly fluctuating expression. Heat and moisture surged in his chest, and he suddenly took a step back.
Back then, the emperor and his subjects had a deep understanding of the same aspirations, shared their hearts and minds, and were like fish in water...
Emperor Yong slowly raised his right hand, trembling for a while, and finally brought it down fiercely.
"Get it!"
Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo closed his eyes slightly, his heart filled with despair.
Your Majesty, it has finally come to this...
Qiao Zhongguo turned around to protect the prince. At this time, a sonorous and powerful voice sounded outside the palace:
"Let's see who dares!!!"
The phoenix robe is noble and dignified, shining brightly in the sun!
The Queen has arrived!
