My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

"Hahaha... I just said that talking to smart people is easier." Even when hearing the blatant word "rebellion", Cui Hongqi was not annoyed or surprised, but chose to agree.

Cui Hongjing: "Why would I help you with such a treasonous act? Am I worried that the lives of everyone in my mansion are too long?"

Cui Hongqi: "Third brother, you are wrong. It is not to help me, but for us to achieve mutual success. Third brother's hatred for our father is probably far greater than mine. Moreover, if Prime Minister Mei is right, our ultimate goals are not in conflict at all. Third brother, why can't we cooperate?"

Cui Hongjing twitched his lips and sneered, "Second brother, you underestimate our father. If he..."

"I have never looked down on him." Cui Hongqi interrupted him, "That's why I want to cooperate with my third brother."

Cui Hongjing tapped the table with his bony fingers. "I just don't understand why Second Brother would do this? I really can't think of who else the Emperor could pass the throne of Crown Prince to, other than Second Brother. Why would Second Brother let himself be cursed for all eternity?"

Cui Hong pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

Cui Hongjing continued: "As long as Second Brother's legs suddenly get better like they are now, he will be the perfect candidate to be the crown prince."

Cui Hongqi: "Third brother, please don't act dumb in front of me. There are some things that we should know clearly... Even if it's for Prime Minister Mei, third brother will refuse?"

Cui Hongjing's expression became increasingly ugly: ...

……

The capital of Changguo, Yecheng.

In recent days, a story has been spreading rapidly among the people.

The story of how Yan Ruobing rose to power.

Prince Chu's Mansion.

King Kang, whose face had turned a little red, smiled bitterly and swallowed a glass of wine.

Wine is also bitter, very bitter.

Without even blinking, he poured himself another glass of wine. "I never thought that I would get to drink with my fourth brother. Hahaha..."

"I really didn't expect it. It seems that the two of us have been mortal enemies since birth." The King of Chu looked a little tipsy, and he looked serious, which was rare to see.

He moved his legs, somewhat stiffly.

"Does the wound still hurt?" King Kang frowned.

The King of Chu could not help but grit his teeth and said, "That crazy woman, I will kill her sooner or later!"

King Kang sneered: "I don't believe it. You really can't tell that she is saving you."

The King of Chu rolled his eyes at him and said, "I want to kill her because she kidnapped my woman."

This time King Kang didn't say anything, but poured a large glass of wine into his mouth.

"I just found out today that Third Brother can drink quite well." The King of Chu squinted his eyes and looked at him, then continued slowly, "He is also smarter than I thought."

Prince Kang put down his wine glass, leaned forward, and stared at him straight: "From childhood to adulthood, I have been spoiled by Concubine Cheng, but that doesn't mean I am a fool!"

"What does Third Brother want to say?"

Prince Kang retracted his gaze and relaxed himself. "Ever since I can remember, she has told me not to fight for what is not mine. She said that with my personality, I would not be able to win even if I fight, so it is better to be an idle prince and live a life of wealth and honor. I always thought she was doing this for my own good. Although she was a little domineering outside, I just thought it was just out of jealousy...haha..."

He laughed up to the sky, and when he stopped, his eyes were red. "It turns out that everything was just an excuse I desperately made for her. I was just a tool for her to use... She deserves what she has today. Not to mention that my father only wanted her life, even if he tortured her to death, it would not be enough to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

The King of Chu showed no mercy, but his eyes grew colder. "Brother, are you trying to imply to me that you are now the legitimate son, the only legitimate son of our father?"

"Legitimate son?" Prince Kang laughed. "My nominal mother is dead, and my mother and biological mother are now living a life worse than death. Father hates these two people to the extreme. Tell me, is my status as a legitimate son ridiculous?"

King Chu: "It's quite ridiculous."

Prince Kang: "I know I am no match for you. Even if my father appoints me as the crown prince, I will not be able to hold on to that position. Although she has long since spoiled me, over the years, under her guidance, what I am best at is how to judge the situation and protect myself, my wife and children, and the lives of nearly a hundred people in the palace."

He turned his gaze towards the King of Chu's eyes and said word by word: "This is what I came here to say to my fourth brother today."

The King of Chu looked at King Kang with an inquiring look: Is he here to show goodwill or weakness? He didn't know how much of it was true and how much was false.

Just as he was thinking, Bai Feng's anxious voice came from outside the door: "My Lord, something happened, something serious happened!"

"Come in and talk!" the King of Chu said coldly.

Bai Feng looked at King Kang and didn't say anything for a while.

"No problem!" The King of Chu glanced at the King of Kang: "We are all brothers."

Bai Feng then pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom. "Just now, a large number of such papers fell from the sky on several of the most prosperous streets in the capital. What was written on them was even worse than the rumors that have been circulating in the streets these days..."

The King of Chu grabbed the paper and his expression suddenly changed when he saw it.

He stood up and handed the paper to King Kang.

King Kang was also horrified, his face twisted for a while, looking at King Chu, he said: "The storm is coming..."

Yan Ruobing spat out a mouthful of blood onto the paper in front of the desk and fell down softly.

What is meant to come will eventually come.

The Queen was right, she is back for revenge.

He was weak to begin with, and after being so angry, he fell ill and was unable to attend court.

The last time he was sick was because of the death of the crown prince, and the queen was in charge of state affairs.

But this time...

Outside, people were discussing the current emperor.

In the court, people were in panic and the situation was turbulent.

Outside the palace, court officials knelt on the ground, forcing him to issue an edict of repentance.

Yan Ruobing, lying on the sickbed, felt like she was being roasted on fire.

The remaining toxins in the body that have not yet been completely eliminated are showing signs of recurring.

He knew that his time was running out.

It’s time to appoint a crown prince immediately.

After the death of the Crown Prince, the Master of the Eastern Palace has always been biased towards the King of Chu.

After learning that Prince Kang was the legitimate son of the Queen, he was shaken.

Although the queen was hateful, what she said was true. If King Kang came to power, King Chu would definitely rebel. King Kang was definitely not his opponent.

But if the King of Chu came to power, would he massacre the entire palace of King Kang?

He let out a long breath and said to Eunuch Fu who was serving beside him: "Draft an order..."
