Faced with the dominance of the Fourth and Fifth Princes, the concubines were so scared that they began to cry loudly.

The people outside also seemed to want to put some pressure on the people in the bedroom. They raised their swords and hit their shields desperately.

The Third Prince frowned tightly.

When Eunuch Qin saw the current situation, his face became extremely ugly.

At this time, the officials who supported the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince also rushed in hurriedly.

They first knelt on the ground, performed a great salute, and then stood obediently behind the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince. It was obvious that they wanted to support the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince.

"Third Prince, the entire palace has been captured by our people. Are you still not planning to surrender?"

The Third Prince said nothing.

It was not until he saw a signal sent out from the city that a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Fourth brother, fifth brother Wu, it’s too early for you to be happy…” The Third Prince clapped his hands.

As soon as the slap landed, a large number of guards in black clothes appeared from all directions.

The moment they appeared, they quickly started fighting with the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince's troops.

When the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince saw the scene outside, their faces turned very ugly.

"It seems that the Third Brother has already made preparations!"

"It's not that I was prepared. My attitude at the beginning was very clear. I support the Crown Prince. This is also my father's last wish. If my father supports any of you, then I will also support you!"

After hearing his words, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince instinctively rushed out with a disdainful smile on their faces, wanting to fight with those guards.

But when they came out and saw the situation at the scene, their faces immediately became extremely ugly. Almost all of their men were chopped by these black-clad guards. Even these black-clad guards were still coming from all directions.

In a short while, all the soldiers and horses around them were captured by these black-clad guards.

"My Lord, it has been captured!"

"Tie up all these people for me, and we'll wait for the next prisoner!"

All the wounded soldiers were tied up with a rope and piled together in the palace, and were immediately controlled by the Third Prince's men.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but they were still waiting patiently.

About a quarter of an hour later, the ground began to tremble slightly, and a huge army of soldiers rushed towards the palace like a surging black tide.

Their steps were orderly and heavy at first, as if they were running in the same huge machine. "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Every step was accompanied by a dull sound, as if it was going to crush the road beneath one's feet.

As they got closer to the palace, the pace of their steps gradually quickened, becoming rapid and powerful, like the sound of crazy drum beats.

The soldiers' faces were filled with determination and fanaticism, their eyes fixed in the direction of the palace.

Their footsteps raised clouds of dust, which looked like a diffuse yellow fog under the sunlight.

Their footsteps stopped outside, and then General Xu, who was in the lead, and others followed him and hurried towards the direction of the bedroom.

When they arrived outside the palace, they knelt on the ground. After they bowed deeply, they stood up fiercely.

The general waved his hand, and then the soldiers behind him came to the scene one by one, escorting some people.

"Third Prince, this old minister has lived up to everyone's expectations and has captured all of the Second Prince's men!"

As soon as Xu Jinjian's voice fell, the Second Prince and the rain shields behind him were all thrown to the scene. Their conditions were even more miserable and miserable than those of the Fourth and Fifth Princes.

When the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince saw this scene, their faces looked extremely ugly. Only then did they realize that General Xu was actually in cahoots with the Third Prince and his men.

No one could have imagined that General Xu would have joined forces with the third brother so early on.

"Humph, since you have already united together, why are you pretending to be so nice?"

"That's right. He's such a two-faced guy, so disgusting!"

The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince were also very upset and started cursing here.

"We are loyal to the Emperor, and the Third Prince is also loyal to the Emperor. We will be loyal to whoever the Emperor passes the throne to.

Third Prince, Fourth Prince, you don't need to say these unpleasant words here, just listen to the Emperor's edict of succession and then make your decision!" General Xu was not afraid of them.

After all, in his eyes, these guys were rebels.

At this time, Eunuch Qin also quickly took out the edict of succession.

The third prince quickly pulled the prince who was behind him over.

"This is the decree of succession that the Emperor personally issued in front of me before his death. I can guarantee with my life that before the Emperor issues the decree of succession, there will be no third person besides me and the Emperor.

Everyone, please accept my order!"

Everyone at the scene could only kneel down on the ground.

Eunuch Qin unfolded the imperial edict.

Edict of Succession

"I have inherited the noble mandate and ruled the country for decades. Thanks to the spirit of my ancestors, the assistance of my ministers, and the support of the people, I have worked hard to govern the country. However, time flies, my body is getting weaker, and I am getting tired of working.

Now I abolish the crown prince and make him the king of Hua, with the fiefdom of Yongzhou. The third prince Qi Mo is intelligent, benevolent and filial, quick-witted and studious, with a noble bearing and both moral integrity and talent. He has been familiar with classics and history since childhood, and has the ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the nation. I have observed his behavior and character, and I am convinced that he will be able to inherit the throne, glorify the ancestral worship, and benefit the people.

After careful consideration, I have decided to pass the throne to the Third Prince Qi Mo. I hope that all of you, civil and military officials, will abide by your loyalty and assist the new king with all your heart. The new king should respect the heavens and follow the ancestors, work diligently and love the people, advocate frugality, avoid extravagance, promote benefits and eliminate disadvantages, extend grace and virtue, and make sure that the seas are peaceful and the rivers are clear, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, so as to ensure the eternal stability of our country and prolong the prosperity of our royal family.

Admire this!

Everyone was shocked when it happened. No one expected this result, but it seemed to be within everyone's expectations.

The Third Prince had no extra expression. He knew that the Crown Prince was not capable of holding this position. The Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince had rebelled again. The Emperor would definitely not choose them, and the throne would eventually fall into his hands.

There was actually an element of gambling involved in his bet, and he won in the end.

"Your Highness, please accept the order!"

"Your son, accept my order!" He bowed deeply and raised both hands, and Eunuch Qin handed the imperial edict into his hands.

The prince stood up, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and looked at the group of people kneeling behind him.
