The patrolling Imperial Guards suddenly discovered that many soldiers entered the city and headed straight for the palace. They hurriedly reported to the commander of the Imperial Guards, Sun Yunhe.
"Commander Sun, something big has happened in the palace. It seems someone is plotting a rebellion and is leading people to break into the palace. If anything happens in the palace, our Imperial Guards will also be responsible."
"Quickly gather all the brothers to protect you."
"Yes."
Sun Yunhe hurried over with five thousand guards and fought with the prince's soldiers.
The enemy was numerous and many of the guards fell and died, but they fought desperately without fear of death.
Soon Yue Zhong led 50,000 soldiers into the city and headed towards the palace.
When the people saw this scene, they all worried that something was going to happen in the palace and who was plotting a rebellion.
The originally bustling streets soon became empty, and people hurried home and closed their doors.
The ministers who supported the prince knew that he was plotting a rebellion. They were both worried and hoped that he would succeed, and they all waited anxiously for news in their palaces.
The Crown Princess and the concubines in the Eastern Palace were also anxiously waiting for good news.
Soon General Yue arrived with 50,000 soldiers to join the battle, and the prince's 20,000 soldiers were quickly defeated.
Some died, some were injured, and some were forced to surrender after disarming themselves. The rebellion ended in failure, and the prince had only death to face.
The prince began to get nervous as he watched the guards fall one by one in front of him.
Mo Yan rushed to the prince in one step and stabbed his arm with a sword. The prince trembled in pain and started fighting with Mo Yan with the sword in hand.
After several rounds, Mo Yan attacked the prince with a palm strike right on his chest. He retreated repeatedly and used his sword to support his body so as not to fall down.
Mo Yan didn't give him a chance to breathe. He jumped down with Qing Kung Fu and kicked him far away. He fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood and twitching.
"Hanxi, take the crown prince and the imperial teacher to the emperor's bedroom and wait for his disposal."
"Yes."
"Commander Shen, order someone to clean up the palace."
"Yes."
At this time, the palace gate opened, and General Yue and the commander of the imperial guard, Sun Yunhe, came in.
"This humble general pays respect to the Second Prince."
"General Yue, Commander Sun, please do not be polite. You have done a great service in saving the emperor. Please follow me to meet my father."
"Yes."
The prince was seriously injured and lay beside the emperor's dragon bed, looking at the emperor pitifully.
Choking with sobs, he said: "Father...I was wrong...please forgive me."
The emperor leaned against the bed and pointed at the prince, shouting: "Rebellious son, how dare you cry and beg me to forgive you? How could you have the heart to kill the second and third brothers? They are your brothers, how could you be so cruel?"
"You actually conspired with the Imperial Master to poison me, murder the king and father, and harm your brothers. This is against the will of heaven. How can I forgive you?"
"Father, I did not send anyone to kill the second and third sons. The poisoning was done by the Imperial Master alone. I have nothing to do with it. I did not know that the pills were poisonous. Please investigate clearly, Father."
"Prince, don't talk nonsense. It was you who ordered me to use the elixir to make the emperor addicted and to poison the elixir. It was you who ordered me to do this."
"You dare to be irresponsible, and I have trusted you so much. You are just a cowardly person."
"Father, please don't listen to the Imperial Master's lies. He is slandering me."
"Rebellious son, you are worse than an animal. As a prince, you are narrow-minded and cruel. As an elder brother, you murdered your own brothers and even poisoned your own father. You are disloyal, unrighteous, unkind and unfilial. You are unworthy of being a human being."
"Someone take the prince to the prison and execute him at noon tomorrow."
"Yes."
"slow."
At this time, the queen came with her guards. When the prince saw the queen, he felt like he had seen a savior.
"Mother, please save me. Father wants to kill me."
"Jue'er, don't be afraid. If your father wants to kill you, his concubines in the harem and the Sixth Prince will die with us."
"Your uncle will arrive in Xinzheng with a hundred thousand troops soon. There will be no one guarding Qiongzhou in the South Sea. It will soon be conquered by the Nanyue Kingdom!"
"Poisonous woman, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, if you release us, your concubines, the Sixth Prince, and the generals of Qiongzhou will be safe. If you kill us, your concubines, the Sixth Prince, and the mother and son, you will die immediately."
"Qiongzhou will also be conquered by Nanyue. You will lose three states from Qiongzhou to Yazhou and then to Douzhou. If you can bear to see millions of people become homeless and displaced, then you can kill us, mother and son."
The angry emperor started to cough violently. He coughed for a long time before stopping. He looked at the queen and roared: "Poisonous woman..."
"You forced me to become a vicious woman. Before I got married, I was a kind-hearted girl with high hopes for the future. But you forced me to marry you, making me a prisoner in this cage. You also treated me and my son harshly."
"You are able to sit on the throne of Queen, which is the blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes. You are ungrateful and even repay kindness with hatred. Both you and your son have wicked ambitions."
"Who wants to be your queen, this palace..."
"Mother, please stop talking and ask father to forgive us!"
"If my mother didn't have the support of your uncle, the general, how could he have made me the queen, and how could you have become the crown prince? Now that he dares to kill us, the entire Zheng State will suffer."
"I really underestimated you before."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. Think carefully before answering my questions. Otherwise, millions of people and your beloved concubines will die."
"With so many people buried with us, it's worth dying."
The emperor paused for a long time before suppressing his anger and gritting his teeth.
"Release the concubine and the sixth son, and then tell your brother to return to Qiongzhou to defend the territory of Zheng State. Then I can release you and your son."
"If I release the concubine and then pass the news to my brother, how can you let me and my son go without any chips to save my life?"
"What do you want."
"Send a carriage to take my mother and me out of the palace. Let the concubines and the Sixth Prince sit in the carriage. Wait until we leave Xinzheng and arrive in Puyang before sending a message to my brother."
"If something happens to my mother and me on the road, your concubines, the Sixth Prince, and Qiongzhou will also have accidents. If you don't believe me, try it."
Everyone in the bedroom could feel the emperor's burning anger, and they held their breath, not daring to disturb him from making his decision.
After the emperor calmed down, he stared at the queen fiercely with his deep eyes.
The Queen is not afraid of anyone now, and it doesn't matter how much the Emperor hates her.
In order to keep himself and his son alive, he must face everyone with strength.
"I promise you that when I get to Puyang, I will tell your brother to return to Qiongzhou to defend the territory of Zheng. If you dare to break your promise, I have a hundred ways to make sure your Yao family is dead without a burial place."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the emperor said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
The prince was relieved when he heard that the emperor let them and their son leave the palace.
"Shen Xiao, take the Imperial Guards to escort Yao and Mo Jue out of Xinzheng. When you arrive in Puyang, watch her pass the message to Yao Zhen of Qiongzhou."
"I obey your orders."
"Pass on my decree. Empress Yao has committed a crime and her title has been stripped and she has been demoted to a commoner. Crown Prince Mo Jue has murdered the prince and he has been deposed and demoted to a commoner. He is not allowed to set foot in Xinzheng for the rest of his life."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
The queen's guards hurriedly helped the seriously injured prince out.
