Chapter 375: Killing the King and Father?

Please, Your Highness, spare my life!"Meanwhile, Xiao Yufu on the side was already terrified. She knew if she continued investigating like this, she would definitely find out about her involvement...."The Lord is trapped at the Zhongmen, which is the most important of the Nine Gates. Therefore, he cannot make any mistakes. Mingyang, you are his bodyguard, and this is when you should protect him!"

"But, Grandfather..." Mingyang was still about to say something.

But Xiao Yuge interrupted: "Mingyang, there's nothing to worry about. I can protect myself, you know that. You can't stop me! I'm going to Chong Hua Palace. I have my own way to save those people. Qian Tingxuan's body is in danger at any time. Go back to his side and tell him that I won't let anything happen to him, so I won't let anything happen to myself either!" She knew that Qian Tingxuan was skilled in martial arts. If it were normal times, she wouldn't worry, but the situation was complicated now, and he was unwell. What if he got poisoned during the fight The consequences would be unimaginable.

Ming Yang thought for a moment after hearing this, tightened his grip on his hand, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Princess, you must be careful. I'll go help the Master first and come back to meet you as soon as possible!" After saying that, he used his sword to part the people around him, leaped forward, and quickly left the place. He knew that with the Princess's current skills, it would be difficult for him to stop her. Besides, he was also worried about the Master's body.

After Ming Yang left, Xiao Yuge kicked the person clinging to her aside and was about to sneak towards Chong Hua Palace. But she changed her mind and turned back. She looked around, seemingly this road could also lead to the Imperial Medical Bureau. It seemed like she had to go there first.

In the Nourishing Heart Palace.

The emperor, who had been given the softening powder, and Qian Si Chen were now slumped in their chairs. The empress was huddled beside them, her face pale with fear. The entire hall had been seized by Qian Li Ye's men, making escape impossible!

"Little Quanzi, you little rabbit, you dare to defy me Is this how we taught you" An Gonggong sat down trembling and pointed at Little Quanzi in front of him. If he wasn't lying on the ground unable to get up, he would have slapped that little rabbit a couple of times.

At this moment, Xiao Quanzi was beaming with delight. He took a step forward and looked down at An Gonggong, who was in a sorry state: "Uncle Master, you taught me that in this palace, to survive, one must use some tricks and be clever. Otherwise, you'll just be a lowly eunuch your whole life, forever trampled upon! Rest assured, I consider you my godfather, so I will leave you a whole corpse!"

"You!" An Gonggong was so angry that he almost spit blood: "Little rabbit, if you dare to harm His Majesty and the Crown Prince, as well as Madam and the others, our family would never forgive you even if we go to hell!"

"Master, both you and I are bastards, having already disappointed our parents. Therefore, we are destined for hell. But rest assured, this servant dares not harm the Emperor and Empress. However, whether Master harms them or not...this servant cannot say."

“Were you on Liang Wang’s side from the very beginning” An Gonggong finally seemed to understand: “It was all a ploy!”

It turned out that Xiaquanzi had almost been tortured to death by people around King Liang. An Gonggong saw that he was young and couldn't bear to see him die like this, so he pleaded with the emperor for a pardon and brought Xiaquanzi to Yuxin Hall to serve the emperor in his daily life. Because he was well-behaved, An Gonggong even adopted him as his godson, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be inviting the wolf into the house.

"Daddy, you're really clever, but it's too late now!" Xia Quanzi's words confirmed An Gonggong's guess.

At this moment, a scream came from outside. Xiao Quanzi turned his head and quickly bowed respectfully to the side: "Welcome Your Highness!"

Thousands of miles away, Qianli rode into the night clad in armor, his presence imposing. His armor was stained with blood, and the sword in his hand glistened crimson. It seemed he had just emerged from a fierce battle!

“You, you rebellious son!” The Emperor’s eyes widened at the sight of Qian Li Ye, but due to the effect of the softened tendons potion, he was unable to stand up straight.

"Father, you are old and confused, that's why you abdicated in favor of a wise ruler!" Qian Liye's face was no longer as cautious as it usually was. He had endured for so long, and now, if he failed, he would die. He left himself no way out.

"You are audacious!" The Emperor's face turned as white as a sheet with anger.

"Father, I have reached this point. Whether it's restraint or indulgence, I've done both. So, what do you say about issuing an imperial decree to abdicate" Qian Li Ye said as he pushed the blank edict, ink, brushes and paper towards the Emperor.

"Treacherous son! Do you dare to kill your father" The Emperor stared at his son in shock, his heart filled with anger, but more so with pain. He had always known how brutal the competition for the throne could be between princes, but he never imagined that his own son would follow in his footsteps.

"Father, if you write a letter abdicating the throne, my son guarantees that you will enjoy your retirement in peace and tranquility as a retired emperor."

"And them" The Emperor looked at the Empress and Qian Si Chen, he wanted to know, just how far was Qian Li Ye willing to go

"Father, if you write a letter of abdication and my succession is successful, I guarantee they will be buried with honor in the imperial mausoleum!"

"You, you... would actually kill your own brother" The Emperor was shocked, but also surprised. He had always thought that Qian Li Ye was indecisive, never expecting him to be so decisive and ruthless at times like this. It seemed he possessed the same ruthlessness as in his younger days.

"Father, my younger brother must die! If he doesn't die, I will never be secure on this throne! The Empress must also die. For all these years, she has secretly harmed my mother countless times, and I suspect even she herself has lost count. A person like that, I will not spare her!" Qian Li Ye also understood the principle of eradicating the roots of a problem.

“Yè’er, listen to your father’s advice. If you regret now, Father can pretend nothing happened. But if you insist on going your own way, have you thought about the consequences Can you bear them Your Tiger Rider Army only has 20,000 men, while in the entire capital city, I have nearly 80,000 troops. You can’t succeed!” I have to say, even at this point, the Emperor was still very calm, not flustered at all. He seemed to intend to let Qian Li Ye off.

But Qian Li Ye at this time how could he be willing to give up: "Father Emperor, nine palace gates, five have already been breached. Your old ministers are probably all laying down their weapons now." He was a little proud, after setting the trap for so long, he finally waited for this moment of perfect timing and opportunity.

"What did you do" The Emperor saw the smugness on his face and frowned. After a moment's thought, he instantly understood. His expression changed drastically. "You have taken everyone in Chong Hua Hall hostage" If those noble daughters and sons from influential families were taken hostage, those old ministers would probably be forced to give up their resistance for their children.

"Father, you are still so wise. Your son has promised those ministers that as long as they lay down their resistance and submit to me, I will guarantee the safety of their children. Once I am seated on that high throne, they will all be heroes!"iking her former pride and dignity. It hurt terribly, so much that her whole heart trembled.Xiao Zhan dared not look into her eyes, his head hung low like a child who had done wrong. In reality, he wa...
