Chapter 233 Ascension
King Hui sneered, "I know, so I don't expect you to give me the throne. You just need to tell me where the imperial seal is."
He didn't come here to discuss things with his father, he came here to take the throne!
"You evil creature! I won't tell you!"
The old emperor was furious at King Hui's behavior and spoke angrily.
Prince Hui smiled slightly and looked down at the old emperor. "Father, don't make such a desperate struggle. I control everything inside and outside the palace now. Do you want to wait for reinforcements?"
"With Xie Lixing not here, who can do anything to me?"
King Hui laughed arrogantly, and then ordered people to search for the imperial seal.
The old emperor was restrained on the dragon bed, watching his son tossing and turning in his bedroom.
In the end, the entire bedroom was in a mess.
Just when Prince Hui was turning over with all his might, the door of the old emperor's bedroom was kicked open with great force. The Fourth Prince, wearing golden armor, stood at the door, pointing his sword at Prince Hui.
"King Hui! You are so brave!"
"Hey, isn't this the Fourth Brother? Why, I'm here to force the emperor to abdicate, and you're trying to save your father in the name of clearing the court? That depends on whether you have the life to clear the court!"
A cold smile appeared on King Hui's face.
He was not afraid at all, because he had prepared everything in advance, waiting for him to fall into the trap!
"Come here, capture them for me!" Then he raised his arm and shouted, and the soldiers behind the Fourth Prince all rebelled.
The Fourth Prince then realized that he had been fooled.
By the time he wanted to leave, it was too late.
King Hui left him no chance to survive. Just when the Fourth Prince was about to go to battle, King Hui came behind him and stabbed him in the back with a sword.
"No one can stand in my way."
After killing his own brother with his own hands, the old emperor finally fainted from being unable to bear it.
Originally, the old emperor thought that since he loved Prince Hui so much, Prince Hui would think of the father-son relationship, but he never thought——
He had just fainted when he was woken up by being splashed with cold water.
"Father, you'd better be sensible. If you tell me the whereabouts of the imperial seal, I can spare the lives of your sons. If you don't tell me—"
"Don't blame my son for not thinking about the love between brothers!"
He was blatantly threatening the old emperor.
The old emperor's heart trembled uncontrollably at what he said, "You wicked son! I am your father!"
"Stop talking nonsense, where is the imperial seal?"
The old emperor pursed his lips, not wanting to tell Prince Hui. Just as he turned his head, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the second prince was being held hostage to the door by Prince Hui's men.
"It seems that Father is still not obedient."
Prince Hui raised his hand, and the second prince was killed before he could even call for help.
The old emperor saw his two sons being killed with his own eyes. He could not bear it and wanted to faint. He kept gasping for breath. While he was gasping for breath, King Hui's men stabbed the two princes to death one after another.
The other princes were still young and had no chance of competing for the throne.
Prince Hui walked up to the old emperor and squeezed his chin. "Father, do you believe what I say this time?"
"In...in the secret compartment at the back."
The old emperor pointed tremblingly at the bookshelf behind the bed and told King Hui.
King Hui snorted coldly, "You'd better not play tricks, otherwise, your son will have many ways to make you open your mouth."
The fighting in the palace was very fierce.
After receiving the imperial seal, Prince Hui sneered, "Kill all of my good father's sons! Leave no one alive!"
The old emperor's eyes were bloodshot.
"You bastard! They're your brothers!"
"The Emperor doesn't need brothers. What do you think, Father?"
Prince Hui's words made the old emperor lie back on the dragon bed with his body hunched. Just when he was about to say something, Prince Hui came up to him and covered the old emperor's mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
"Rest in peace, Father."
The old emperor opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Is this really his son?
Why did you treat him so cruelly?!
When King Hui had almost killed everyone in the palace, he came to the Golden Palace with a sword in hand, ready to raise the imperial seal and announce his ascension to the throne.
Xie Lixing walked out from the back.
"Your Highness, Prince Hui, someone saw you murder your brothers and kill your father. It's not too late for you to surrender now."
Xie Lixing's appearance was beyond everyone's expectations.
He walked up to King Hui step by step, and under King Hui's hateful gaze, he raised the corners of his lips. "Your Highness is still so impulsive."
He was only a month old, but he was already impatient.
Xie Lixing's men quickly captured King Hui's men and killed them on the spot. "The traitors killed your majesty. We must avenge your majesty!"
As the two looked at each other, Xie Lixing spoke word by word, causing King Hui to look at Xie Lixing in disbelief.
"You—you actually—"
"Your Highness, please go downstairs and meet His Majesty."
Xie Lixing raised his sword and slashed it down, and Prince Hui collapsed to the ground. He covered his stabbed chest and waited for Xie Lixing, "You actually covet the throne!"
"Is it not possible?"
Xie Lixing kicked him in the heart, and King Hui died on the spot.
Afterwards, Xie Lixing arrested all the rebels (members of the royal family) in the name of clearing the court, and finally took the imperial seal to question the court officials who came to the court.
"I give you two choices. One, I ascend the throne. Two, I ascend the throne after you are all killed."
All the court officials were afraid of Xie Lixing. Even if some military generals were dissatisfied, they gave up the idea because of Yun Lie's appearance.
The Cheng family didn't expect that from the very beginning, Xie Lixing had no intention of supporting anyone. He wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor!
In this way, the news that Xie Lixing was the emperor's illegitimate son outside the capital swept the entire capital, and the fact that the emperor passed the throne to Xie Lixing also became a topic of discussion among the people of the capital.
No one expected that King Hui, who was smart all his life, would become foolish for a moment and kill everyone, and in the end the illegitimate child outside would benefit!
"No wonder the Emperor takes such good care of the Regent."
"Yes, I said at the time that the relationship between the Regent and the late Emperor must be special."
"Oh no! Stop talking. He is our emperor now. If you say too much, you will be beheaded." Everyone covered their mouths and stopped discussing Xie Lixing.
No one has forgotten what kind of person Xie Lixing is.
All wailed, a tyrant ascended the throne.
Yueli was brought into the palace and lived in Fengyi Palace, waiting for the ceremony of being crowned queen.
[No, did I miss some plot? Why did it suddenly turn out this way?]
I knew Xie Lixing would seize the throne, but I didn't expect King Hui to be so foolish as to hand the bare throne directly to Xie Lixing.
Xie Lixing is truly adaptable, even capable of making up such nonsense.
[I thought others would say his mother was immoral, but he ended up creating a story for himself about being picked up by his parents...]
No matter what, Xie Lixing's ascension to the throne is inevitable.
Chen Chaolu was holding the child's body and looking at Yueli crazily, "You killed my child, didn't you?!"
