The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

In the astonished eyes of everyone, the two princes had their necks strangled by the two eunuchs in an instant. They looked at the two eunuchs in front of them in shock, their eyes full of shock and disbelief.

The two princes never imagined that they would be killed by their companions.

When Emperor Yan saw this, his calm expression finally changed slightly. He looked at the two eunuchs and said hurriedly, "Catch them alive..."

Following his voice, countless secret guards appeared in the blink of an eye and surrounded the two powerful eunuchs.

However, before they could make a move, the two eunuchs sneered, and black blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. In the blink of an eye, blood gushed out of their seven orifices.

When Emperor Yan saw this, he was filled with anger. These people failed to assassinate him and chose to commit suicide. They even killed the two princes.

Emperor Yan seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Go... take down their mother and the eunuchs and maids in the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Shadow immediately took the order and left. Emperor Yan came to his two sons and looked at the two princes who died with their eyes open. His face was complicated. A trace of grief flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences!" Liu Fu came closer and said in a complicated voice.

Emperor Yan sighed, waved his hand and said, "Deal with it, and by the way, find out which palace these two people are from..."

Liu Fu nodded when he heard this, and quickly ordered the secret guards to drag the bodies out. The bodies of the two princes were also carried out.

Emperor Yan returned to the dragon throne and sat down. He looked a little dejected and his eyes seemed a little empty.

Beside him, besides Liu Fu, there was only the eunuch master who had a white face and no beard and whose real age could not be seen.

"Lord Luo, am I a failure as an emperor?" Emperor Yan said in a low voice.

The white-bearded Grand Master eunuch beside him heard this, looked at Emperor Yan with a complicated expression, sighed and said: "Your Majesty, there are some things you can't control... Power sometimes makes people lose themselves. This incident has nothing to do with you!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan smiled bitterly. Since he became emperor, there have been two rebellions. One was a rebellion by his eldest, third, fifth, and sixth sons.

If it weren't for the fact that Eighth Son Jiang Fan had a plan to deal with it, I'm afraid he might have died at that time.

It was thought that the second and fourth princes were not among those competing for the throne, and that they would be more honest and obedient. However, in order to sit on this position, these two sons eventually embarked on the path of patricide.

Is he really such a failure as a father? For the sake of the emperor, his son wants him dead. However, at least he still has a son who truly cares about him.

Last time it was Bazi who saved him, and this time it was Bazi's wife who reminded him. Otherwise, Emperor Yan would never have thought that his own prince would disobey him.

Emperor Yan just sat on the dragon throne like this, completely motionless. He didn't move, and in fact, he didn't dare to move.

I don’t know how long it took, but Shadow hurried over with an ugly look on his face. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"What's wrong?!" Emperor Yan looked at the shadow.

"Your Majesty, the two imperial concubines and the eunuchs and maids in their palace have all committed suicide! In the prince's mansion outside the palace... the prince's wife and children... have also!" The shadow said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan's eyebrows twitched and anger welled up in his eyes.

Suicide?! How could they commit suicide so quickly! I'm afraid they killed him to silence him. The person who attacked him wanted to let people find out who was behind it! All clues were cut off.

"Five surnames and seven families...you...are so cruel!" Emperor Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes full of murderous intent.

The people behind the scenes are definitely the Five Surnames and Seven Families, but Emperor Yan doesn’t know who is specifically involved. If he wants to eradicate all the Five Surnames and Seven Families, Emperor Yan does not have the courage to do so.

These people knew that Emperor Yan did not have the courage, so they dared to kill people so unscrupulously.

Emperor Yan slowly calmed down his anger, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Shadow, go and send the Seventh and Ninth Princes off! Let them..."

Having said this, his voice paused, as if it was difficult for him to say the following words. After a long moment, he took a deep breath and his eyes became determined.

"Let them not suffer too much... Go!"

As soon as he said this, the faces of several people at the scene changed slightly, and they all looked at Emperor Yan in surprise. They could not expect that Emperor Yan would make such a decision.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. They... are your bloodline after all. If you do this... you will be criticized by the world!" said the white-faced, beardless eunuch at the side.

Liu Fu and Yingzi didn't dare to persuade him, but he could! Not only because of his strength, but also because of his identity. He was considered a person who came from the previous king's era.

In order to prevent the five surnames and seven families from having any more evil intentions, Emperor Yan actually decided to kill the last two adult princes!

This was to cut off the hopes of the Five Surnames and Seven Families. Or, in other words, he did not want to give the Five Surnames and Seven Families another chance to seduce his son to do something treasonous.

"Let the world criticize me, I want to pave the way for Faner... If my sons are all so incompetent and easily exploited, what's the point! Luo Qing, do you think I did something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan's eyes became very cold, so cold that everyone trembled.

Luo Qing opened his mouth when he heard this, but couldn't say the rest of the words. The fact that the second and fourth princes were used by others to kill their father completely chilled the heart of Emperor Yan.

It also made Emperor Yan make up his mind. Since Emperor Yan could not take action against the five surnames and seven families, he could only cut his own retreat and not give the enemy any chance.

If the remaining seventh and ninth princes were killed, the only ones left in the entire harem would be a few princesses and the twin princes born to Concubine Ning!

"Your Majesty, perhaps His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin can deal with them... Why don't you wait for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to return before making a decision!" Liu Fu said cautiously at this time.

His words made the Emperor Yan's eyes light up slightly. Seeing this, the shadow beside him also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please think twice. If His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin knew that you were willing to bear the stigma for him, he would blame himself!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin should be back soon! Your Majesty, please trust him this time! And trust the Grand Tutor, the Grand Master, and the Left Prime Minister as well!"

He knew that the Emperor of Yan killed his son not only because he didn't want to give the enemy a chance to use his son to cause trouble, but also because he was worried that he might not be able to escape the assassination attempt by the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

If he really died one day, and the Five Surnames and Seven Families took the opportunity to let his remaining son succeed to the throne, then the entire Dayan would fall into chaos.

What he pursued throughout his life was not only to be a good emperor, he also wanted to keep Dayan going.

This is also the reason why he knew that the Five Surnames and Seven Families were going to attack him, but he did not do so.

Because he was worried that if he attacked the Five Surnames and Seven Families, the entire Dayan would suffer losses. Therefore, even if he suffered losses at the hands of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, he endured it.

Now, in order to stabilize Dayan, he is even willing to kill his own son!
