After the work was done, the emperor asked Liang Wenchang to step down.

"Take this imperial edict and read it out when I am no longer around."

The prince is ambitious. If this imperial edict were read out now, I'm afraid he would die even faster.

Eunuch Li took the imperial edict and carefully looked at his expression, "What do you plan to do with Prince Rui?"

There were many ministers kneeling outside the palace. The evidence was conclusive. Not only were the ministers in the court angry, but the people in the city were also furious when they learned about this.

At this time, this matter was being discussed in teahouses and restaurants everywhere.

"Since the throne has been passed to the crown prince, the third brother should give it up."

The emperor had already made a decision and was very decisive. His decision was also within the expectations of Eunuch Li.

In the royal family, there has always been only the emperor and his subjects, not father and son. What made them even more panicked was that the Third Prince had done such a thing.

With just one word, he decided Lu Lingye's life or death.

Lu Lingye was not surprised at all to hear the news that he was sentenced to death. From childhood to adulthood, the crown prince had always been chosen between him and him.

He has a powerful family, but the prince has his own unique preferences.

preference!

It was this preference that made him jealous and crazy since he was a child.

He looked at the poisoned wine in front of him and laughed softly, "Hehe...hahaha——"

As he laughed, his voice became increasingly crazy, his chest trembled violently, and tears flowed from his eyes.

When Eunuch Li and his men arrived, the prince excitedly stood up from the straw pile. He lay on the wooden fence and glanced at the cell next door.

Hearing Lu Lingye's sad and desolate laughter, he couldn't help but smile.

Ha ha! !

Thank you Queen. If she hadn't eradicated the problem for him, he would have never been able to turn things around in his life.

"Royal brother, go with peace of mind. Don't worry, during the annual sacrifice, I will light three sticks of incense for you and the queen to thank you for your great kindness!"

The prince's words were heartbreaking. Lu Lingye stared at his direction with bloodshot eyes.

Eunuch Li also frowned slightly upon hearing this, feeling sorry for the person in front of him.

It is not against one's will to say that the person in front of him is more capable than the prince, but the royal family has never been a place where ability is valued. Whoever laughs last is the winner.

One of them had to die. Since the late queen had been kind to him, he had no choice but to choose the prince out of favor.

Eunuch Li sighed softly, "Prince Rui, let's go."

Things have come to this point, and Lu Lingye knows that there is no chance of him turning things around.

He picked up the wine glass on the tray with shaking hands, and looked at the prince with cold eyes, "Don't be too happy too soon, it's still unknown who will win!"

The Duke of Zhenguo is unwilling to support him as emperor, but does he still like the prince?

As long as the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion exists, it will be impossible for the prince to ascend the throne smoothly.

If you don’t believe it, then wait and see in hell!

After that, he no longer hesitated and brought the glass to his lips.

The prince could not see his movements and laughed disdainfully, "I am the only bloodline of our father now, so there is no need for you to worry. You should hurry up and get on the road, so as not to miss the good time."

Now he finally understood how it felt to have others go to great lengths to only end up making wedding dresses for him.

In one word, cool!

Eunuch Li shook his head as he looked at Prince Rui, who was lying on the ground with black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth and his eyes wide open.

He squatted down, put his hands on his eyelids, and whispered softly: "Don't be a member of the royal family in your next life."

There is nothing wrong with being a young master from an ordinary family and living an ordinary life.

"Let's go."

When Eunuch Li came out of the cell, the prince looked at him with shining eyes and asked anxiously, "Eunuch Li, is he dead?"

"The poisoned wine given by the emperor."

Eunuch Li walked towards him with a smile on his face, "Your Highness, congratulations."

"Eunuch Li, please have someone release me."

"The Emperor has not issued such an order yet, Your Highness, please be patient and wait for a few more days."

When the prince heard this, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and his boiling heart instantly cooled down.

"Eunuch Li, when will the emperor let me go?"

when?

As long as the emperor doesn't die, he will never appear again.

But he couldn't say.

Eunuch Li smiled faintly, "I don't know about this. Your Highness, please take a rest. I should go back to serve the Emperor."

The prince was not stupid. He was so excited that he couldn't suppress his smile. "You should go back soon. It is important to serve your father."

Eunuch Li nodded to him and left with his men. The prince was extremely excited.

"Yaoyao is truly a goddess! When I ascend the throne, I will definitely make her a noble concubine!"

It is true that he is the destined king. Even in this situation, he can turn defeat into victory. If he is not the destined king, who is?

The news that Prince Rui was sentenced to death by the Emperor was sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as quickly as possible.

"The Emperor has chosen the prince."

Bai Youyou looked calm. No matter who it was, the throne would not be his in the end.

The Duke of Zhenguo teased his two grandchildren, not caring at all, "They are just grasshoppers in autumn, let them jump for a few more days."

In the past, they had to rely on the imperial court to allocate military pay to support hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Now the emperor is unwilling to pay even a penny. Since the emperor does not support them, they are not the emperor's soldiers.

Such an unkind and unjust king is not worthy of being the ruler of the world, nor does he deserve his loyal support!

Bai Youyou called Lu Qi over, "Is the King Xian awake?"

"With the thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum, my life has been saved for now."

"Just save your life."

Bai Youyou was relieved.

It seems that the emperor can still hold on for some time, as long as he wakes up before the emperor dies.

Lu Da walked quickly to the study and handed a secret letter to Bai Youyou, "Young lady, this is what Lord Liang asked me to give to you."

Bai Youyou took a look at it and her eyes lit up immediately, "Grandfather, the emperor really did write the edict of succession in advance."

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded and said, "This edict of succession is most likely in the hands of Eunuch Li. Lu Xuan, send someone to get it out."

This was part of the plan, and Lu Xuan had already made arrangements before.

Half a month later, the imperial edict of succession hidden in the secret compartment by Eunuch Li appeared in front of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Grandfather, leave this to me."

"Be careful."

"I know."

The Duke of Zhenguo gave the things to Bai Youyou, and ordered Lu Dalu and others to protect her secretly.

The edict of succession must not be lost, otherwise the emperor will summon all officials and publicly announce the dethronement of the crown prince, and the edict will be useless.

Fortunately, the emperor was suspicious and would not openly pass the throne to the deposed prince before his death.

Bai Youyou sneaked into Qin's residence in the dead of night.

Since the death of Grand Tutor Qin, the Qin Mansion has fallen into decline. Except for the Qin family's side branches occasionally causing trouble, basically no one visits.

However, ever since Liang Wenchang was favored by the emperor, the area in front of the Qin Mansion has become lively again.

When Bai Youyou left, Liang Wenchang was still handling the official business at hand.

"Miss Bai."

He put down the brush in his hand and quickly closed the door.
