Kick the scumbag, she brought space and married the national teacher to rebel

When Long Shiling reached the toilet, he stopped, listened for a while to make sure there was no one around, then turned and walked towards a large rockery on the left.

"Your Highness!" A man in black appeared and knelt on one knee in front of him.

"Let's talk inside." Long Shiling looked around again before walking into a narrow cave.

A dim oil lamp was lit in the rockery cave, and several people were waiting for him inside.

"Your Highness, you are here." Du Yicheng said.

"Yes." Long Shiling glanced at them one by one. They were all people he trusted the most. "Uncle, I feel that something is wrong tonight."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" a confidant asked him.

"When my father passed away, Gong Beixuan didn't let anyone ring the funeral bell, and the process of burial of my father was very hasty. I suspect that there was something strange about my father's death, or perhaps he was not dead at all." Long Shiling said.

"What?" Those people's faces changed drastically and they looked at each other.

"This is impossible?" A man in black pulled down the black scarf covering his face, revealing a familiar face. It turned out to be the eunuch Gu who served the emperor!

"Your Highness, I personally fed the medicine to Your Majesty. The medicine was colorless and odorless, so no one could detect it. Even the Imperial Master did not notice anything unusual. From the time Your Majesty was buried in the coffin to the time he was buried in the casket, I was always there to serve him. I saw it with my own eyes. It is impossible for Your Majesty to still be alive."

Hearing this, those people all thought that Long Shiling was too nervous.

"Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity. The Northern Qi crown prince has already led his army to the border, and Chu Feiyan has been gone for many days. Our 100,000 troops are already waiting outside the city, so you don't have to worry."

"Your Highness, the entire Jinxiu City is under our control, and we have people stationed in the palace. As long as you give the order, our people will take action immediately." Du Yichen looked determined to win.

Long Shiling frowned, feeling that things were going too smoothly.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. The Imperial Master forbids us to ring the funeral dragon bell. It may be because there is a war on the border and His Majesty passed away suddenly. He is afraid of causing panic among the people in the city, so he wants to wait until tomorrow." Eunuch Gu said.

Seeing that he was still hesitant, Du Yicheng advised again: "Your Highness, success or failure depends on this one move. If we let the prince inherit the throne, we will have no chance when the court is stabilized."

"Okay!" Long Shiling finally made up his mind, his eyes flickering with determination, "Let's do it tonight."

Almost all the important officials in the court are in the palace. They just need to control these officials, kill the crown prince and all the children of the emperor, and see who dares to say anything against it.

"The most difficult one was Chu Feiyan. Now that she's gone, the others won't be a problem."

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. Even the most powerful martial artist cannot resist the medicine we prepared.” Eunuch Gu smiled grimly.

In the mourning hall of Taiyu Temple.

After the new prime minister and the prince's uncle, Hong Zhuo, offered three incense sticks in front of the altar, he said to Gong Beixuan who was standing next to him, "Master Imperial Master, as the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Since His Majesty left a will before his death, asking His Royal Highness to succeed him, then let His Royal Highness succeed him in front of the coffin!"

Hearing this, other ministers also seconded the proposal: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne. According to the ancestral system, he should ascend the throne in front of Your Majesty's spirit and succeed the emperor. He should preside over the government as soon as possible to calm the people and stabilize the world!"

"You gentlemen are absolutely right. Tomorrow, please invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne in front of the coffin, and then announce the news of His Majesty's death to the world." Gong Beixuan said.

"This..." The prince hesitated and said, "My Lords, my father has just passed away. If..."

Hong Zhuo said, "Your Highness, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. In order to stabilize the government, you will first take the throne in front of His Majesty's spirit. After the 27th day of mourning is over, we will choose a day to hold the coronation ceremony."

The prince looked at the emperor's coffin with strange emotions in his eyes, "Since all the adults say so, then I will obey my father's will!"

As the night progressed, some of the women in the ministers' families had gone to rest, but because it was the first night, all the royal family members had to stay and keep vigil.

Although it was already early March, it was still a bit chilly late at night. The door to the main hall was always open, and cold wind blew in from time to time. Everyone sat close together.

Concubine De knelt together with her three children, Long Shijun, Princess Mingwei Long Shiruo, and Prince Chen Long Shiqi.

Long Shiruo and Long Shiqi are a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. They are only eight years old this year and have long been so sleepy that they can't open their eyes. Their heads nod noisily like a chicken pecking at food, but they are still holding on.

Long Shijun took his sister into his arms, "Ruo'er, if you're too sleepy, take a nap!"

Long Shiruo tried hard to open his eyes, looked at him and asked, "Fifth Brother, can I really sleep? If I fall asleep, will my father in heaven blame me for being unfilial?"

"No, father has always praised you for being so obedient. Go to sleep!" Long Shijun touched her head.

"Okay..." In just a moment, Long Shiruo fell asleep in his arms.

Seeing that her youngest son was still trying to hold on with his head nodding, Concubine De hugged him distressedly and said, "Qier, go to sleep!"

"Mother..." Long Shiqi mumbled something and fell asleep in Concubine De's arms.

Long Shijun yawned and felt more and more sleepy. He rubbed his forehead with his hand. He couldn't fall asleep.

At this time, he saw that the people around him fell down one by one. He turned around to look at his mother, and saw that she had also fallen down while holding Long Shiqi.

I felt something was wrong. I put my sister down and was about to stand up when I suddenly felt dizzy, fell down and fell asleep.

Long Shiling stood up, glanced at all the fallen people in the mourning hall, pointed at the emperor's coffin and laughed, "Hahaha!"

"Father, you never expected this, did you? I am the chosen one of the emperors. Look at your children, each one of them is useless. Today, I will let them all go down to accompany you."

"Your Highness!"

Du Yicheng came in with a group of men in black, all holding big swords in their hands.

Long Shiling turned around and asked, "Uncle, what's the situation outside?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness! Everything inside and outside the palace is under our control." Du Yichen answered confidently.

"Very good!" Long Shiling looked at Long Shirui lying on the ground, his eyes flashing with cruelty. He took the broadsword of a man in black and ordered: "Execute all the people here, leave no one alive!"

"Yes!"

Long Shiling raised the knife and was about to chop off Long Shirui's head.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed.

Long Shiling's face turned grim, and just as he was about to dodge, he saw that his arm holding the knife had flown out, and pain swept over him.

"what--"

Hearing the scream, Du Yicheng and the men in black looked over and saw that half of Long Shiling's arm was gone and blood was gushing out. They were immediately horrified.

"Your Highness..."
