Tao Yaoyao died in a strange way.
After Tao Yaoyao's death, all the destinies that had been changed because of Tao Yaoyao returned to their original state, all the unexpected gains disappeared, and all the bad luck dissipated.
Jiang Rui discovered that the second prince's power began to rise quietly again.
The old emperor's condition seemed to have improved somewhat.
Jiang Rui's eyes gradually darkened.
He would never allow his path to success to be cut short!
Even without Tao Yaoyao, Jiang Rui was still the crown prince, possessing the power and status of a crown prince, and once again suppressed the power of the second prince.
The old emperor has been ill for too long and his health has deteriorated so much that his death is only a matter of time.
One day, as if sensing that his end was near, the old emperor summoned all his sons and daughters, and especially called Jiang Li.
The old emperor probably just wanted to make arrangements for his final arrangements, hoping that his sons and daughters would respect and love each other, avoid fighting among themselves, and be friendly and respectful to each other.
After making arrangements for his funeral, the old emperor asked Jiang Li to stay alone.
Jiang Rui and the second prince looked at Jiang Li meaningfully before leaving.
Only the old emperor and Jiang Li were left in the room.
The old emperor looked at Jiang Li, his eyes full of sorrow. "Jiang Li, I know what you have been doing these days."
Jiang Li replied nonchalantly: "So what?"
"Are you really planning a rebellion?"
Jiang Li sneered, "Rebellion? Rebellion against whom? Rebellion against the traitors?"
“Cough… cough cough…”
The old emperor coughed so violently that he looked like he would pass out if he wasn't careful.
Jiang Li said calmly: "You have been an emperor your whole life, and you have held power for your whole life. You can't control what happens in the future, and there is no need for you to control it."
The old emperor looked at Jiang Li, coughing constantly and unable to say a word.
Jiang Li turned around and strode away.
Eunuch Chen immediately went into the room and waited. Not long after—
"His Majesty has passed away!"
——
The previous emperor passed away and the new emperor should be enthroned.
Shen Tingnan, who was supposed to be at the border, led his elite troops back.
The officials won over by Luo Shu accounted for half of the court, and Lin Lin, who was originally under the prince's command, switched sides and joined Luo Shu's camp.
Tao Yaoyao's death was strange. Everyone in the Prince's Palace knew that Tao Yaoyao died in bed with her clothes disheveled. It was clear what she had done before her death.
Lin Lin believed that Tao Yaoyao died at the hands of Jiang Rui, so he was naturally unwilling to help Jiang Rui anymore. Also, because he had been Jiang Rui's aide before and was familiar with Jiang Rui's people, he knew that some of them did not do it voluntarily, but chose Jiang Rui for some reasons.
Under Lin Lin's lobbying, this group of people also sided with Jiang Li.
Many old officials knew about the fratricide and fratricide among the brothers. Seeing that the situation in the court was gradually becoming clearer, they refused to go against the trend in order to maintain stability.
Jiang Rui thought that his ascension to the throne was a natural process, but unexpectedly Jiang Li brought people directly to the Prince's Mansion.
The armored guards held torches and stood behind Jiang Li, reflecting his enchanting face.
"Jiang Li, are you planning a rebellion?"
Jiang Li smiled leisurely and did not answer.
Qianxi was standing next to Jiang Li.
Qianxi nocked the peacock feather arrow on the string and pulled the bow that Shen Tingnan had given her on the day of her wedding.
Jiang Rui subconsciously took a step back, pointed at Qian Xi and shouted, "How dare you kill the king?"
Qian Xi raised the corner of her mouth into a smile, "If I don't kill you, how can I become emperor?"
Jiang Rui's eyes widened. "Proclaim yourself emperor? You want to be emperor?"
Qian Xi smiled and said, "Although the way to become emperor is different from what I imagined, the result is what I wanted after all."
His hand released the string and the arrow flew out.
