Chapter 462: Inherited from the Same Lineage
Princess Yuqing vomited.
I have never seen such a hypocritical person.
Everyone knows what King Chen is thinking.
It's already this late, and you can still pretend.
nausea!
"Fourth brother, you are so good at pretending, why don't you go and perform? I killed the Left Prime Minister, wasn't it because you wanted to send me, the Princess of Daliang, to the Northern Barbarians as a slave? Don't such traitors deserve to be killed?"
Prince Chen had a dark face and said nothing.
Hearing this, the emperor lost his temper and said, "How dare you, you bastard!"
"For the throne, you are willing to sell out your country. How can you be worthy of the people of Daliang? How can you be worthy of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border? They didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but instead died at the hands of a prince like you. How dare you dare to fight for the throne? You are not worthy of being my son, nor a descendant of the Fu family."
He always thought that the fourth brother was gentle.
Even though he suffered injustice when he was young, he never blamed others or his father. He was filial and motivated.
I wanted to give him a chance.
I didn't expect to disappoint him again and again.
By now, he was extremely disappointed and even regretted allowing Concubine Chen to give birth to him.
I can understand wanting to fight for the throne.
In this world, who doesn’t want to have supreme power, let alone the prince who is closest to power.
But you can fight all you want, without any sense of morality, killing people like a madman, not even sparing unrelated children.
They even colluded with the outsiders to help the thieves steal our house. I have never seen such a thing that betrays its own people.
On the contrary, it was Lao Wu who never had any hope.
It's already like that, it can't get any worse. If you work a little harder, you'll feel relieved.
Despite his heartless appearance, he actually has a pure heart.
It makes people feel more at ease.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't believe my sister's one-sided words. The facts are not as they seem. I have not colluded with the enemy and betrayed my country." Prince Chen immediately retorted.
The charge of treason is too heavy for him to bear.
Seeing his father speaking righteously, he wanted to laugh.
If I didn't understand my father's character, I would have thought he was a wise ruler throughout history.
When it comes to hypocrisy and sanctimoniousness, no one is better than my father.
He was clearly awake the whole day, clearly behind that door, yet he watched him step into the trap with composure, watched him force his way into the palace, and forced him onto a path of no return.
Who made him like this?
It was his extremely hypocritical father.
His father gave him power, allowed him to enter the court, let him hold power and taste the sweetness.
But they cruelly take it away.
From childhood to adulthood, he did not rely on his mother or his father. It can be said that he was helpless. To get to where he is today, he earned everything bit by bit with his own hands. He lived a harder and more dedicated life than any other prince.
God rewards hard work, the throne should be his.
If you don't give it to me, I will take it away from you.
So what if his father wakes up? Everything is ready and he is sure to win.
The emperor looked at his son. He had already reached the palace gate, but who was he still showing off like this to?
There is probably no one in the world who is better at pretending than him.
"Don't think I don't know. The deaths of Xiao Ba and the other children were all caused by you. You also supplied the Northern Barbarians with food and fodder. You also leaked the city defense map. You also poisoned the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. You colluded with the enemy and betrayed your country. You murdered your brothers and sisters. It was all you..."
"How could I have given birth to a son like you?"
The emperor was heartbroken.
After saying this, he leaned back in his wheelchair, shaking with anger, as if millions of ants were drilling into his body.
He woke up early this morning and felt weak all over. He didn't even have the strength to stand up and walk.
Otherwise, he will definitely be slapped several times.
Prince Chen finally couldn't pretend anymore and slowly stood up under the gaze of his father.
He tugged at his sleeves and finally spoke, "Father, I take after you. You knew I was the one who poisoned the Crown Prince, yet you pretended not to know. And what about your deceased ninth sister, eleventh brother, and thirteenth sister? Do you really know who is who? Do you remember what they look like? You knew Empress Cao wasn't responsible for Eighth Brother's death, yet you still wanted to depose her. And why did you give Imperial rice to Fifth Brother's wife for no reason? It almost caused her miscarriage, and you dare say you didn't mean it."
"Don't be so presumptuous, stop talking nonsense."
The emperor's face, already red with anger, became even redder.
He blew his beard, and veins popped out on his forehead.
He couldn't stop coughing and there was blood on his handkerchief.
The emperor himself was startled.
Is his illness so serious?
Eunuch Qian took the handkerchief and was also startled. He quickly crumpled it into a ball and put it in his pocket.
Serve tea to the emperor.
While handing the water, he glanced at King Chen, trying to give him a warning, but the look in King Chen's eyes was murderous.
What's going on?
Mingming had asked Xiao Yuzi to pass a message to Prince Chen early in the morning, telling him that the emperor had woken up.
But just now, King Chen seemed very surprised, and Xiao Yuzi was nowhere to be seen.
Didn’t he convey the message?
Eunuch Qian was a little panicked.
The emperor recovered and looked at his daughter: "Don't listen to the fourth brother's nonsense, he is trying to alienate us."
Then he gave orders to the guards: "Capture this rebellious son, Prince Chen, for me."
Princess Yuqing looked at the father and son in disbelief.
They are truly father and son from the same bloodline.
Just as cruel, just as vicious, just as hypocritical.
But she still didn't want to believe how her father could poison his own grandson.
She wanted to know the truth: "Fourth Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? How could the emperor know that taking imperial rice would cause miscarriage?"
Prince Chen sneered, "Royal sister, don't be so naive. Many concubines in the harem have suffered miscarriages due to this thing. Father must have known about it. Don't you think about it, how could he allow the daughter of the Mu family to give birth to a prince? I don't need to explain the reason..."
Princess Yuqing was startled for a moment and turned to look at her father.
Since she was a child, she knew that her father was not a wise ruler and had a lot of bad habits.
But to her, he was a good father.
But her father's heart seemed even colder and crueler than she thought.
Fortunately, Qianxue vomited out all the imperial rice due to morning sickness, otherwise, if it accumulated over time, there might really be two deaths during the delivery.
She felt that the father in front of her was so strange.
"Father, you have such a cruel heart!"
The emperor felt a little guilty and didn't look at her. At such an urgent moment, he didn't want to explain anything.
He is the emperor.
Everything you do has its own reason, so there is no need to explain it to others.
All he wanted now was to catch this rebellious son and put an end to this chaos as soon as possible.
He grabbed his daughter's hand and said, "Qing'er, your father will explain this to you later. You should have prepared a backup plan. Where is Prince Jing? Where are the imperial guards? Hurry, have them come to rescue you."
Although the emperor's personal soldiers are powerful, they are clearly outnumbered by Prince Chen's men.
After all, people have been planning for many years and have made thorough preparations.
The emperor's personal soldiers were completely defeated.
Princess Yuqing, who had been so domineering just now, changed in an instant.
His face was filled with fear as he clutched the Emperor's sleeve tightly. "Father, I had no idea Fourth Brother would choose today to rebel, much less that he brought so many people with him. How could he have prepared anything? Fifth Brother and Prime Minister Cui were both kidnapped by Fourth Brother, and their lives are still uncertain."
