The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

At this point, Zhu Qin stopped pretending. He walked to the front of the group of people who had just entered, turned around and faced Nian Xiaoqing and the others, and said:

"The Twelfth Prince is really capable. He has investigated my affairs so thoroughly?"

"Are you not pretending anymore? Are you admitting it?"

"You know everything so thoroughly, is there any need for me to pretend?"

"Wouldn't it have been over earlier?"

Nian Xiaoqing looked at Zhu Qin and asked:

"Zhu Qin, our Nian family has treated you well, but I never thought you would want to rebel. You are really ambitious!"

"Anyone with ability can sit in that position. I think I am not inferior at all. Why can't I sit there?"

“You’re not bad?

A traitor like you has been planning to steal the country since 20 years ago when you brought Nian Fengyuan into the palace.

How can you, a person with such evil intentions, say that you are not bad?

You really are very shameless."

"Oh, are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species?

Didn't your Nian family snatch the throne from someone else? If you can snatch it, why can't I?"

"you……"

"Did I say something wrong?

Today, if I can sit in that position, I will be the founding ancestor of the new dynasty.

My descendants will be of royal blood!"

This is true, but Zhu Qin must not be allowed to continue. Nian Hengzhi interrupted and said:

"If you want to fight, just fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?

Come on, old man!"

"Let's settle the game today!"

Zhu Qin's eyes were filled with madness. He gave an order:

"on!"

The people behind Zhu Qin rushed forward immediately, and the two sides started fighting.

Zhu Qin's people obviously outnumbered Nian Xiaoqing's group, and in everyone's opinion, the outcome had already been decided.

Nian Xiaoqing made a gesture, and someone in the hall saw it and left quickly.

A moment later, a cloud-piercing arrow flew into the sky.

Soon, hundreds of people poured into the hall.

It was obvious at first glance that this group of people were Nian Xiaoqing's men. The clothes they wore were the same as those worn by Nian Xiaoqing's men.

Now, the number of people on Nian Xiaoqing's side is obviously much larger than Zhu Qin's people.

The ministers thought Zhu Qin was sure to win, and they did not expect such a reversal.

It seemed as if Nian Xiaoqing and the others had known that Zhu Qin would rebel and had made such preparations in advance!

Zhu Qin looked at the situation in front of him, took several steps back, and his heart sank to the bottom!

How could this be?

Seeing Zhu Qin's expression, Nian Xiaoqing and the others sneered in their hearts.

They had long been on guard against Zhu Qin taking the opportunity to rebel.

This old guy really can’t hold himself back!

This is the moment they have been waiting for!

As long as Zhu Qin dares to move, the Zhu family will be wiped out!

Before long, Zhu Qin's men were almost wiped out.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhu Qin was about to pick up the knife on the ground and commit suicide. Nian Xiaoqing threw a hidden weapon, knocking the knife out of Zhu Qin's hand, and said:

"Want to die like this? That's too good for you.

People like you should be cut into pieces!"

Zhu Qin and Zhu Ting had been taken to the ground.

Zhu Qin closed his eyes, no longer looking at Nian Xiaoqing and the others, and said:

"If you want to kill or behead me, I'll leave it to you."

Nian Xiaoqing ordered his men to take Zhu Qin and his son away and keep them under strict surveillance. Afterwards, he immediately sent people to surround the Zhu family.

Queen Mother Zhu Lianyue was also given a cup of poisoned wine!

Zhu Lianyue never expected that she would be given poisoned wine even though she was already the queen mother.

She didn't know what happened in the court, and she cried and made a fuss to see Nian Fengyuan.

No one paid any attention to her!

Zhu Lianyue refused to drink the poisoned wine no matter what!

Several eunuchs restrained her and forced her to drink the poisoned wine!

After a moment, Zhu Lianyue vomited black blood and then there was no movement!

All nine members of the Zhu family were exterminated overnight!

Zhu Qin and his son were also executed by slow slicing!

Now the throne is vacant. Among the five brothers who came today, Nian Xiaoqing is the strongest. No one has any objection to him being regent!

This was also what everyone had agreed upon when they were discussing dethroning Nian Fengyuan.

……

What happened in the palace soon spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The people were all whispering, and no one had expected that something like this would happen in the court.

The people are all wondering which prince will succeed to the throne?

Many people are optimistic about Nian Xiaoqing!

Nian Xiaoqing was originally a military general. He had made many contributions over the years and had a high reputation among the people!

Everyone is looking forward to him taking that position!

……

Of course, Nian Siting also heard what happened in the palace, and he also knew about the private discussions of the people.

Nian Siting put his hands behind his back, looked out the window, and said:

“Oh, I never thought that Old Seven would be so popular!

Is he the one that everyone wants?"

The staff comforted him:

"Your Majesty, the people are unaware of your talents, so they call you the Seventh Prince.

You don’t have to take it to heart!”

“This king doesn’t take it to heart!

Don't worry, I'm fine!

This prince also wants to benefit from their fight when both sides are injured!

I didn’t expect that Lao Wu was so useless and died so easily?

Zhu Qin was also easily exterminated. What a waste! "

The staff asked:

"My Lord, what should we do next?"

“Now Nian Xiaoqing is only the regent and has not yet ascended to that position.

We are in the dark, and there are still many opportunities to get rid of Lao Qi.

As long as there is no one else to fear except him!"

"While the Seventh Prince is still unskilled in governing the country, we must act quickly.

Otherwise, once he sits in that position, it won’t be so easy to pull him down! ”

"Ok.

This king knows the plan in his mind, but the details need further discussion!"

"Yes."

Next, Nian Siting discussed with his men...

……

In addition to Nian Siting, Old Eleven Nian Zhiyun who was hiding in the dark had also received the news.

Nian Zhiyun was silent for a long time before he spoke softly:

"I didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, the throne would eventually fall into the hands of the seventh brother."

The subordinate comforted him:

"Your Majesty, there are still many things we can do hiding in the dark.

Should we take this opportunity to get rid of the Seventh Prince?"

"He is surrounded by many experts, and he himself is also very skilled in martial arts. We can't act rashly!"

"Yes.

My Lord, when can we get out into the light?"

"Let's wait a little longer. Once we are exposed to the public, many things will become difficult to do.

Let's be patient for a while!"

"Yes."

"Now that the Seventh Prince is in charge of the country, we have to think of a countermeasure.

Do you have any good ideas?"

"I think..."

……

Next, Nian Zhiyun discussed countermeasures with his men...

On the other side, in the imperial study of the palace, Nian Xiaoqing was flipping through the memorials in his hands.

Since he became regent, he has moved into the palace!

He had been reading memorials all day and his eyes were a little sore.

He put down the memorial and rubbed his eyes, preparing for a moment before continuing to read.

Just then, the people who were sent to investigate Nian Siting came back.
