After many days, the emperor finally got out of bed and was able to attend court again.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne looked thin, but his face was flushed, and his seemingly bright eyes were dead.

But the emperor himself was unaware of this and instead felt that he was almost recovered.

He looked at his ministers with great interest and asked them what important matters had occurred recently.

In less than half an hour, the emperor's face turned red with anger.

All kinds of messes and riots caused by his bad reputation.

The emperor could not help but fly into a rage. He beat several officials with a stick and scolded all the court officials.

The emperor sent people to quell the unrest, but instead of reversing the situation, it became worse and worse.

The accident happened that night.

As usual, the emperor favored a newcomer who had just entered the palace.

The new bride was young and beautiful, with a good figure, a sweet mouth, and a relaxed personality, making the emperor seem to experience the feeling of his youth.

The woman, wearing a gauze-like dress, leaned against the emperor's arms and said, "Your Majesty, I really hope you can accompany me every day."

The emperor touched the woman's waist and said, "Little devil, you are still not satisfied. I stay here with you every day."

The woman said coquettishly: "Not enough, not enough~"

The Emperor: "I also want to accompany you, little devil, but those careless guys are really pissing me off!"

The woman was puzzled and asked, "If that's the case, Your Majesty, why don't you let your subordinates take care of it? You are the most noble person in the world, so of course you deserve the best. Why bother dealing with those idiots all day long?"

As she said this, she turned over and lay on top of the emperor, her hand slowly moving down along the emperor's shoulders...

The emperor groaned happily, breathing like a broken bellows.

The two were having fun when suddenly the emperor's eunuch knocked on the door anxiously.

Let the emperor explain directly.

The emperor was extremely angry; he was already very nervous.

The emperor roared, "Get out!"

The chief eunuch said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The Seventh Prince has broken in with his men!"

The emperor's originally flushed face turned a shade paler, and he hurriedly climbed out of bed.

Before he could get dressed, he heard noisy footsteps outside, which sounded like they surrounded the entire palace.

The Seventh Prince walked in front, followed by the Commander of the Royal Guards. It was easy to guess what they were doing there.

The emperor pointed at the seventh prince and angrily asked, "Rebellious son! Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?!"

The beautiful woman who was so delicate just now has now hidden in some corner.

The Seventh Prince wore a smug smile on his face, "Father, you are old. It would be better if you could give this position to someone more suitable. I have come here today to ask you to abdicate and let someone more capable take over."

The emperor's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and his eyeballs were about to pop out. "Even if I don't want to be the emperor anymore, it should be the prince who comes. Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Someone! Someone! Drag this rebellious son down and chop him off!"

No one responded.

"That cripple? Father, you are really getting old and confused. How can a cripple be the emperor?" The Seventh Prince laughed. "Father, face the reality and write the abdication edict as soon as possible!"

The emperor still did not give up and continued to call for help, "Come here! Come here!"

The seventh prince looked at the emperor leisurely, as if he was watching a clown's performance.

When the emperor was exhausted, the seventh prince asked his men to bring the written edict.

"Father, please!"

The man handed the imperial edict to the emperor, which contained the emperor's confession of guilt and announced that the throne would be passed to the seventh prince.

Of course the emperor didn't want to stamp the document, but with the knife at his neck, he had to temporarily surrender.

Agree to get the imperial seal to stamp it.

The emperor was rushed to the imperial study, and tremblingly found the imperial seal. Before he could put it on, he suddenly heard a sound of fighting outside.

The emperor's already desperate heart suddenly became active.

He simply flipped over the edict and left it uncovered.

The Seventh Prince's face darkened at this moment, and he was in no mood to force the Emperor to stamp his seal. Instead, he ordered his men to quickly eliminate those who were causing trouble.

That night, the palace was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river.

The seventh prince and his biological mother were thrown into prison, and those who participated in the rebellion with the seventh prince were also beheaded.

Many families had their homes raided that night.

It was not until dawn that the noise in the city gradually died down.

Many people watched secretly, and when they saw that nothing was wrong, they put on their court robes and went to court as usual.

There were quite a few fewer people in the court. I didn’t know if they disappeared last night or if they didn’t dare to come to court today.

The person sitting at the top didn't come, and no one came to notify us.

Everyone gathered together and discussed loudly what happened last night.

Suddenly someone came in.

The prince was pushed in in a wheelchair.

All the court officials immediately fell silent and saluted the prince.

The prince was pushed to the front, and then several eunuchs came out, took out the imperial edict, unfolded it, and read it to everyone.

The emperor abdicated and became the emperor emeritus. The crown prince inherited the throne and the coronation ceremony was held on a chosen day.

Before the court officials could kneel down to congratulate the new emperor, a prince stood up and said, "Since this is an abdication decree, why didn't the emperor come out in person to announce it? Where is the emperor? I want to see him!"

Xie Tingxuan glanced at the man coldly, and the eunuch who issued the decree immediately said, "The emperor is not feeling well and is recuperating in the palace. It is not convenient for him to come to court to issue the decree!"

Xie Tingxuan placed his hands in front of him and said, "Since you wish to see the Emperor, please go and ask for an audience. The Emperor has issued an edict. Do you think you will disobey it?"

I don't know when the Royal Guards were waiting outside.

The minister who was about to stand up and question was immediately frightened and shrank back.

Father Xia just stood there with his head down, seemingly having no idea about this farce.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Xie Tingxuan curled his lips in satisfaction. He glanced at Xia's father and Xie Qiheng, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

He won't let any of these people go!

Seeing this, the person standing behind Xie Tingxuan stepped forward and pushed Xie Tingxuan to the high platform to sit on the dragon throne. Suddenly, a shout was heard outside, followed by the sound of fighting.

Xie Tingxuan stopped and swept his cold gaze over everyone in the hall, trying to find out who was causing trouble this time.

Soon the royal guards outside were defeated and a new group of people surrounded the hall again.

The sound of footsteps came.

Xie Tingxuan stared at the door, wanting to see who dared to ruin his plans.

The man came to the door with his back to the light.

Xie Tingxuan's pupils shrank, full of disbelief, "How, how is it possible..."
