As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

Empress He finally threatened to die, and Ning Rusong looked on coldly, "Mother, if you die, father's fate will be a million times worse than yours."

Prince Nan couldn't bear to watch and knocked Empress He unconscious with a knife, then handed her to the nanny beside him, "Take sister and me back to the He Mansion later. When my father died, she didn't even have time to leave the palace to pay respects. This time, I'll make her kneel down in the memorial hall. What a fool!"

"Yes!" Nanny answered tremblingly.

The Southern Prince turned around and pinched Emperor Jingmu's face, carefully looking at his extraordinary appearance, and said with anger, "Emperor Jingmu, do you want to die?"

"I don't want to go to the He Mansion, I don't want to face the He family, and I don't like the He family." Although Emperor Jingmu has fallen to his current situation, his demeanor is still dignified and his tone is still calm.

Prince Nan wished that Emperor Jingmu would always be so calm. When he was young, Prince Nan respected the emperor in front of him very much. The young monarch was able to suppress the court in a crisis. Later, his sister fell in love with the emperor and married Emperor Jingmu despite her family's opposition. The He family did not want to be foreign relatives and did not want to be involved in the dispute over the throne, but it was finally broken for his sister.

In fact, everyone understood at the beginning that if the status of the Royal Consort of Yue was not too low, the position of Queen would not have been the turn of Queen He.

"My sister has done so much for you, and you are really so heartless!" Prince Nan said angrily, increasing the strength of his hands, leaving fingerprints on Emperor Jingmu's face.

Emperor Jingmu impatiently grabbed the Southern Prince's wrist. His pupils were very light, which made him look even colder. He opened his mouth and said, "I never asked her to do this. I once advised her not to enter the palace. I said I would never fall in love with her."

He frowned and said, "She believed that love can last forever, so she plunged into the deep palace. Prince Nan, you blame me only because He is your sister."

There was nothing wrong with what Emperor Jingmu said from his point of view, but emotions are biased. Even if Prince Nan was annoyed by Empress He's paranoia, he still couldn't bear to hear what Emperor Jingmu said at this time.

The King of the South struck Emperor Jingmu unconscious with a single blow of his hand and left him lying on the ground.

The Crown Prince sat at the table and watched the big show. He raised his eyes to look at the Southern King, "Will my uncle not kill my father?"

The Crown Prince's eyes were calm and peaceful. Prince Rong shook his head and tried to beg for mercy, but Prince Nan kicked him away and he spat out blood again.

Prince Nan scratched his head and leaned over the table, "Just consider Emperor Jingmu dead. If I don't bring him back to the He family, I'm afraid my sister will really commit suicide. You also know my sister's personality. She is very stubborn and straightforward. There is no way she can go around."

There was silence in the hall. Ning Rushong tapped the table with his knuckles. The sound was not loud but it made people feel eerie. King Nan waited quietly without saying a word.

"Okay." Ning Rusong replied, "Uncle, you have to remember that I and the He family will suffer together. You have to keep an eye on my father. My mother can't beat my father."

No, not yet. Although the current head of the He family is not the King of the South, the one who truly holds power is the King of the South, and the relationship cannot become strained. This situation has to be presented. In fact, the Queen Mother’s calculations were quite brilliant, at least the ending was as she expected.

Ning Rusong is still worried about He Yue's health. Is she still unconscious? Or has she woken up?

But the situation in the court has not yet calmed down, and it is the best decision for He Yue to stay in Ruiheyuan. He cannot go there for the time being and has to stay in the palace.

He is about to ascend the throne, and there will be no one standing ahead of him.

When Prince Nan returned home, he placed Empress He in her former boudoir, while Emperor Jingmu was locked up in a small courtyard with strict guards. The guards were all death warriors trained by the He family since childhood and there was no possibility of betrayal.

Emperor Jingmu was not awake yet. He had taken off his hair crown, and his black hair covered half of his face. His age was totally unrecognizable. Chains were fastened to his skinny ankles, and his white brocade robe had been changed into ordinary clothes by servants. But even so, his appearance was still naturally elegant and noble. At first glance, he looked completely out of place in this courtyard.

The assassin was about to take off the Taoist bead from Emperor Jingmu's wrist when he heard King Nan whisper, "Leave this to him."

The assassin stopped what he was doing and listened to the order, then took away all the objects that were too large to be regulated except the Taoist beads from Emperor Jingmu.

"If anyone approaches this courtyard and asks who is imprisoned here?" The Southern King leaned against the door with his arms folded, "you should answer that he is a criminal slave who has escaped."

"Yes! I obey your command!" The assassin replied while kneeling on the ground.

The Southern King frowned, but finally spoke, "Don't slack off on him, don't torture him, and don't be too contemptuous of him."

Torturing Emperor Jingmu under such circumstances would be a mean-spirited act, meaningless, and would not bring any comfort to the King of the South.

The assassin's eyes could not help but linger on the finger marks on Emperor Jingmu's face, which were particularly eye-catching against his cold white skin. He answered respectfully, "Yes!"

It was obvious who this person was, as he had too many accessories with dragon patterns on him, and it just so happened that news of the death of Emperor Jingmu in the palace came out.

The difference between his fall from the supreme emperor to a criminal slave imprisoned in a small courtyard in a single day was so huge that even a death warrior like him felt sad and absurd.

The Prince of the South actually understood that for Emperor Jingmu, killing him in a fair and dignified manner was the only way to show respect to him. However, Empress He was his blood-related sister and threatened to kill herself, so he had no choice but to imprison Emperor Jingmu.

"What bullshit love!" Prince Nan left the courtyard.

…………

The next day, the news of Emperor Jingmu's death spread throughout the entire palace. There was wailing everywhere, and no matter whether they were crying sincerely or not, everyone was crying miserably.

As to whether it was Prince Rong who killed him, everyone had their own judgment in their hearts, but for the sake of their own lives, they kept silent. The prince was an extremely cold-hearted person, and it was not surprising if he was the one who killed his father and brother.

Liu Lin, the former chief eunuch of Emperor Jingmu, choked up and issued his "last will":

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: ...The Crown Prince will succeed to the throne! I decree this!"

The prince, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt down and accepted the will, "Your son obeys the order!"
