Chapter 344

343
The moment the emperor saw Qi'er and Bai Muyang appear, his eyes flashed with astonishment, but he quickly recovered: "Get up."

He had learned about the prince's conspiracy from Shi Fengliang a long time ago, and had been on guard for a long time, but he didn't expect that Xiao Ba would also come.

"No, that's not the case!" The prince panicked: "Come, come!"

The entire imperial palace was clearly under his control, how did the old man and Bai Muyang get in?
This turn of events made him uneasy.

Do not!
He doesn't allow any mishaps!
The prince was standing next to the imperial case, only three steps away from the emperor, he shot suddenly, grabbed the emperor's neck, and threatened Qi'er and Bai Muyang viciously: "Put down the weapon in your hand!"

Qi'er seemed to be terrified: "Father——"

"Put down the shuriken and leave the imperial study!" Seeing that the two of them were not moving, the crown prince threatened again, adding some strength to the hand on the emperor's neck.

Although the crown prince is not perfect, he has practiced kung fu for several years. The emperor will be held hostage. Even if Qi'er is not really worried about the emperor's safety, he will do a full set of acting.

"Prince, are you crazy?" Qi'er wanted to step forward, but was hesitant: "This is our royal father!"

"Shut up!" The prince was actually very nervous at this time, pinching the emperor's hand and trembling slightly: "My palace asked you to go out, did you hear that?!"

It's one thing for someone to poison the emperor, but it's another thing to do it yourself.

It never occurred to him to do it himself.

"Father—" Qi'er looked at the emperor worriedly.

Except for the tightness in his chest, the emperor's expression didn't change at all, and even his tone didn't fluctuate in any way: "Xiao Ba, listen to him, you go out first."

Qi'er's eyes were scarlet, and she looked at the emperor with forbearance.

The emperor smiled silently at him.

Qi'er gritted her teeth, turned around and prepared to leave.

But just as he walked to the door of the imperial study, the Marquis of Jing'an rushed over with a sword in his hand.

The moment he saw Qi'er and Bai Muyang, he suddenly stopped, and shouted into the imperial study in horror: "His Royal Highness..."

"My lord father-in-law, you are here!" Seeing the Marquis of Jing'an, the crown prince relaxed, "How is the situation outside?"

"Your Highness..." Marquis Jing'an originally thought that the situation was over, but after seeing that the crown prince had kidnapped the emperor, he saw hope again in an instant.

"Your Highness Eighth." At this point, Marquis Jing'an knew that he and the entire Marquis of Jing'an's mansion had no way out, so he felt at ease: "May I ask where did King Qin's troops come from?"

Qi'er squinted at Jing'an Hou.

Seeing that Qi'er was silent, Jing'an Hou thought that Qi'er was guilty, so he couldn't help but said in a tone that saw him through: "His Highness, in the name of King Qin, is actually for that position, right?"

When the emperor in the imperial study heard the words, he looked at Qi'er with a look of scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes.

Hou Jing'an continued: "Your Highness the Eighth Prince, even if you killed all our soldiers and horses in the palace, but the Emperor is in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince, this game will eventually be won by His Royal Highness the Prince. It is better for the Eighth Highness to submit to His Highness the Prince. His Highness can also spare your life."

Qi'er pulled the corner of her lips.

"Your Highness, what do you think?" Jing'an Hou insisted on Qi'er expressing his opinion.

"No way!" A few words burst out from Qi'er, and the sword in his hand suddenly pierced Jing'anhou's chest.

Neither the Marquis of Jing'an nor the Crown Prince had expected that Qi'er would kill him at the slightest disagreement. Marquis of Jing'an lowered his head blankly, only had time to look at the bloody hole in his chest, and then fell down at the door of the imperial study with his eyes open.

"father in law--"

The crown prince shouted excitedly: "Su Qizhang, I want to tear you to pieces!"

"Let father be released!" Qi'er stood at the door of the imperial study, confronting the prince from a distance.

The prince was greatly irritated by the killing of Marquis Jingan: "Don't even think about it!"

At this time, the emperor, who was looking deeply at Qi'er, suddenly said, "Xiaoba, I ask you, is what the Marquis of Jing'an said true? Are you also coveting this position? Everything that happened tonight has something to do with it." Premeditated?"

"Father!" Qi'er's tears fell down, and her face was hurt: "I don't care what others think of me, but how can you doubt me? I met you at the beginning because of the deep feelings in my heart." My son admires you, tonight, my son is using the title of King Qin, but in fact, he only brought the dozen or so secret guards that your father gave to him, and the twenty or so bodyguards from the Bai family!"

"Old Ba, are you an idiot for me and my father?" the prince said angrily.

Can a dozen hidden guards and twenty bodyguards enter the palace?

Is this old man talking in his sleep?

He subdued most of the forbidden army, no matter how bad those people were, it was impossible for them to deal with dozens of people!
"Father, the commander of the imperial army betrayed you and was killed by my son. My son had no choice but to allow the following imperial army generals to make atonement, but instead killed the people brought by Jing'anhou and locked the palace gate. Now there are still some of them outside the palace." Soldiers and horses, but they won't be able to enter the palace for a while."

Now it's not time to tear your face apart, Qi'er explained the situation to the emperor in every detail.

The cold light in the emperor's eyes eased.

That's right, his Qi'er is different from other sons, how can I doubt his intentions?

"Prince," the emperor may be because of guilt towards Qi'er, or maybe because he is tired, and he doesn't want to try anymore: "Let go of me, I will write you an imperial edict for the Zen seat right now."

"Father..." Qi'er hesitated to speak, but finally said harshly to the prince: "Father wrote the imperial edict for the Zen position, you let him go immediately, otherwise you won't let me go even if it costs me my life." Take that seat smoothly!"

A gratified smile flashed across the emperor's eyes.

The prince only heard that the emperor promised to write the edict of abdication, and he didn't care about playing tricks with Qi'er, so he pushed the emperor back into the chair of the imperial case: "Write it quickly!"

"Where is Jinlin Guard?" the emperor asked suddenly.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically. He was about to use the old trick to hold the emperor hostage again, but before he could move, the back of his neck went numb, his eyes darkened in the next second, and he fell down.

A palace change came to an end without a sound. Civil and military officials didn't know that the crown prince forced the palace until the next day, and it ended in failure. Many people turned pale with fright, especially the prince's party. I handed over my letter of resignation.

The prince's subordinates were sent to the prison, and those who were beheaded were beheaded for public display. Gao Jin found out the clue before the prince forced the palace and dissuaded the prince. Instead, he was put under house arrest by the prince in the East Palace and escaped.

However, after this incident, Gao Jin was also asked to resign.

The emperor stayed behind.

The emperor resolutely rectified the inside and outside of the court hall, but he did not issue an edict to abolish the prince for a long time.

Hundreds of officials pondered the emperor's thoughts, and after half a month, finally, an officer wrote a letter requesting to abolish the crown prince.

A few days later, the emperor issued an edict to depose the prince, sending the deposed prince, concubine and their children to the royal cemetery to guard the tomb, and they were not allowed to leave the imperial mausoleum without the decree.
