Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

A majestic and solemn voice suddenly sounded, and it was particularly clear in the silent hall.

The prince looked towards the person who made the voice, but saw He Tongguang, the Duke of Anguo, standing behind several members of the Zong clan. He stood out from the crowd with a stern look on his face and slowly walked to the front.

Seeing that it was He Tongguang, the Crown Prince's distorted expression eased a little, but then he became more vigilant and said, "What do you mean, Duke Anguo? You are well-versed in ancient and modern literature, and you should know that a concubine can ruin a country. Now the entire Forbidden Garden is under my control. Are you going to make me an enemy?"

He Tongguang, dressed in a purple official robe, stood tall and solemn, saluted the prince neither servilely nor arrogantly, and said in a deep voice: "The evil concubine ruined the country, which is just a crime imposed on women by incompetent men. The collapse of rituals and music, and the reversal of social principles are the source of the chaos."

"Your Highness, by forcing the emperor to abdicate today, you are committing treason. Even if you are lucky enough to get the throne today, as the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not flow. If the words are not flowing, the matter will not be accomplished. All the officials are here, and the public opinion can melt gold. How can Your Highness stop the gossips?"

He Tongguang had a sad face, as if he was really heartbroken that the crown prince had committed rebellion, but in fact he was slowly approaching Emperor Hui without making a sound.

"Humph!" The Queen stopped the Crown Prince from retorting and sneered, "What a collapse of propriety and music, and the reversal of social norms! This old man favors the groom's daughter, neglects the Empress, and despises the Crown Prince. If we don't take action, he will be the next Queen Wei and Crown Prince Li."

"What does it matter if gossip can melt gold? When my son takes the throne, I will be able to erase his words in the history books. Duke Anguo, I respect you as the backbone of the country. If you are willing to serve my son as your master, your family will enjoy endless wealth and glory. But if you insist on doing it your own way, don't blame the soldiers for being blind!"

He Tongguang said in a clear voice: "A loyal minister does not serve two masters. Your Majesty is still alive. I am sorry that I cannot obey your order!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and pounced on the prince who was only one step away from Emperor Hui.

The prince was shocked and angry, and quickly swung his sword. The next moment, a scream echoed throughout the hall.

Everyone was frightened by this sudden change. Seeing the prince waving his sword, they thought that the Duke of Anguo would be killed on the spot. The trembling ladies gathered on the side screamed in fear, and the timid ones even closed their eyes and dared not to look anymore.

"The prince is in my hands, why don't you retreat quickly!" A deafening voice rang in everyone's ears. Everyone looked carefully and saw that the expected scene of Duke Anguo's bloodbath did not appear. Instead, the prince was held hostage by him.

He Tongguang grabbed the prince's neck with one hand and snatched the sword from his hand with the other hand. He dragged the man back to Emperor Hui's side and the situation was reversed in an instant.

Everything happened in a flash. The master disguised as a eunuch behind the prince had no time to react at all. In the blink of an eye, his master was abducted. The armored soldiers outside the palace who heard the noise and rushed in quickly were all dumbfounded. This was a rebellion, but how come the leader of the rebellion fell into the hands of others.

The moment Lin Xi saw He Tongguang's actions clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned. This was different from what they had discussed before. Before, they had clearly discussed letting He Tongguang talk about this and that and preach to delay the prince while waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Who would have thought that he, a eunuch, was disguised as a civil official but was actually doing the work of a military general.

But even though she was shocked, Lin Xi did not dare to relax her movements. While everyone's attention was focused on Emperor Hui, she turned around and whispered a few words to Xie and Yu, then pulled the two of them back to a corner.

"He Bairen, let my son go!" The queen's eyes were red with hatred.

"Bitch! I will kill all your clans!" As soon as Emperor Hui came to power, his anger surged in his heart. He slapped the prince and yelled at the queen.

Duke Anguo frowned, dragged the prince to the side, and said coldly to the armored soldiers who wanted to surround him: "If there is anyone who doesn't want your master to live, just take a step forward." After saying that, he pressed the sword in his hand towards the prince's neck, and a line of blood instantly appeared on the prince's neck.

"Stop!" the queen yelled, and then she shouted at the soldiers around her, "Back off! Everyone, back off!"

The armored soldiers looked at each other. Although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they had some concerns and could only retreat with their spears and iron shields raised. However, their eyes were fixed on Emperor Hui and the others in the middle, and the situation was temporarily deadlocked.

"Ah! Blood, Your Majesty!" Suddenly, the female official standing behind Concubine Cen cried out in surprise. Everyone's heart trembled, and they all looked at Concubine Cen. Because of the table blocking their view, they could only see Concubine Cen's pale face. However, Emperor Hui, who was holding Concubine Cen in his arms, clearly felt the loss of body temperature of the person in his arms. He hurriedly looked under her and saw that there was a wet area between her legs, and blood was slowly oozing out.

“Zhu’er!” Emperor Hui was shocked. For the first time in his life, the emperor, who was always high and mighty, showed such a panicked look. He was at a loss as to how to touch Concubine Cen’s belly, and shouted at the empress: “Quickly call the imperial physician! Quickly call the imperial physician!”

"Hahahaha! It really is retribution. I said God is unfair. Why is it that Cen Zhu, who has done so many evil things, can still enjoy such boundless wealth and give birth to an imperial heir? Now I haven't even taken any action, but the evil child in her belly is so disappointing. Hahahahahaha, God help me!"

The Queen's emotions finally reached a point of madness the moment she saw Concubine Cen had a miscarriage. Her face was hideous and her eyes were bloodshot, as if the hatred that had been suppressed all these years finally broke out at this moment, and she mocked the two people on the high seat.

"Bitch! Call the imperial physician quickly! Otherwise I will kill this evil creature!" Emperor Hui was furious. He threw Concubine Cen to the female official behind him, pulled the prince in front of him, snatched the sword from He Tongguang's hand, and cut the prince's forearm deeply. The prince's arm immediately bleeds. He was already pale because of He Tongguang breaking his wrist, and now he was in so much pain that he almost fainted.

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" He Tongguang had not expected Emperor Hui to be so crazy. Now the reinforcements have not arrived yet, and they are still surrounded by so many soldiers. If they hurt the prince, I'm afraid the queen will go crazy and want to destroy them all together.

But Emperor Hui now only had Concubine Cen covered in blood in his eyes, so he was no longer able to listen. Seeing that the Queen not only did not call the imperial physician, but also took a few steps forward, as if she wanted to pounce on him and fight with him, he scratched the prince's thigh with red eyes. The prince screamed and fainted from the pain.

"Stop it! Xiao Chong! If you dare to touch the emperor again, I will have my soldiers trample this place to the ground and cut that bitch into pieces!"
