Everyone was eating, except Prince Huai, the Queen Mother, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his son.

They hadn't eaten anything all day.

At this moment, smelling the aroma, my stomach couldn't help but growl.

But Yuan Junyao had no intention of giving them food, so they could only endure it.

After eating and drinking, it was already dark outside the Golden Palace.

Now that the situation has been decided, when can they leave?

"Master Yuan, when can we leave?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Junyao glanced at the sky outside the palace and said, "Wait until the emperor brings the traitor Wei Yongsheng here, and then deals with Prince Huai and the others, then you can leave."

Anyway, you don’t have to go hungry now, so just wait a little longer.

But this wait was endless torture for the Queen Mother, Prince Huai and others.

Death is not scary, but the process of waiting for death is scary.

The Queen Mother's illness had originally recovered, but now she suffered multiple blows and suddenly fell to the ground, breathing very rapidly.

"Mother."

Prince Huai shouted, but he could only watch her fall to the ground.

Marquis Zhongyong held the Queen Mother in his arms, his weathered face showing only pain and helplessness.

They tried their best throughout their lives but failed to achieve their wish.

The Queen Mother's eyes gradually became dull.

Xia Lingzhou and Liang Chao knelt before the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother gradually died with her eyes wide open, and she was completely silent.

Prince Huai looked at it in despair, his expression dull.

Everyone watched coldly.

Meanwhile, outside the palace.

Many groups of people surrounded the palace.

The imperial guards guarded the palace gate tightly and no one could get in.

When it was completely dark that day, the gates of the capital city were opened wide, and countless soldiers and horses poured in and rushed towards the palace.

Wei Yongsheng paced back and forth at the east gate of the imperial palace.

He had been waiting here anxiously for a whole day, and there was no news from the palace at the moment.

Success or failure depends on this.

If Prince Huai succeeds, he will be credited with following the emperor, and no general in the entire court will be able to surpass him.

But the longer time passed, the more uneasy he became.

Because the longer the time, the greater the changes, which means that things are not going well.

If you fail...your entire clan will be killed.

Wei Yongsheng was already covered in cold sweat at this moment.

He and Prince Huai had already agreed that if there was no movement in the palace at the hour of Xu, they would have to break in by force.

There is still half an hour left until the hour of Xu, and if we force our way in, we will probably end up in a desperate situation.

Just when he was getting anxious, there was a commotion outside the crowd.

The various groups of people surrounding the east gate of the imperial palace made way for them.

I saw a large mass of soldiers approaching, and the dazzling torches illuminated the surroundings.

Xia Nanxing was riding a horse in the front, and his bright yellow dragon robe was particularly eye-catching.

On his left and right sides followed the leaders of the troops from all sides. It can be seen that at this time, only Wei Yongsheng was still blocking the palace gate, and the others had already surrendered.

When Wei Yongsheng saw Xia Nanxing, the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.

When did the emperor leave the palace?

How could he be outside the palace?

The emperor has the tiger talisman in his hand and can summon an army of 200,000.

Now it seems that it is not the emperor who has become a turtle in a jar, but them.

Wei Yongsheng was completely desperate at this moment.

Xia Nanxing said in a deep voice: "Wei Yongsheng, you colluded with Prince Huai to rebel. Do you plead guilty?"

Wei Yongsheng's men were all whispering to each other at this moment, not knowing what had happened.

Someone beside Xia Nanxing shouted, "Why don't you surrender? As the saying goes, it's better to turn back than to turn back. The Emperor will spare your lives because you didn't know what was going on.

But if you follow Wei Yongsheng, it would be treason, and treason will punish your entire clan, so you'd better think it over carefully."

The people following Wei Yongsheng looked at each other, then dropped their weapons and retreated to the side.

Whoever follows Wei Yongsheng now will die. Whoever wants to be executed will have his entire clan implicated.

Moreover, Xia Nanxing was diligent in his work and loved the people during his reign, and was very popular among the people. Who would be willing to join him in a rebellion?

Wei Yongsheng's excuse was to save the emperor, but smart people might have guessed that it was a rebellion.

But judging from the current situation, the rebellion has naturally failed, so he who knows the times is a hero.

Wei Yongsheng watched the people around him leave one by one, and he knelt down in despair.

Xia Nanxing looked at him coldly and ordered, "Arrest him."

Wei Yongsheng was arrested.

The imperial guards opened the palace gates, and Xia Nanxing rode into the palace on horseback and went directly to the Golden Throne Hall.

In the Golden Palace, Yuan Junyao and all the civil and military officials were still waiting quietly.

Until the eunuchs' singing was heard outside the Golden Palace.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

Xia Nanxing appeared at the door of the Golden Palace.

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Long live the emperor" three times.

Although she knew that Xia Nanxing would be fine, Yuan Junyao was still worried.

Seeing him appear, Yuan Junyao felt completely relieved.

The palace coup was finally resolved safely.

The other missing people are still lying in her space.

Xia Nanxing strode to the dragon throne and sat down, saying with a dignified look: "My dear ministers, please stand up!"

In the past, there were morning court sessions, but this was the first time that there was an evening court session.

But today's court session was late but still arrived.

Xia Nanxing looked at the huge Golden Palace, his heart had never been so calm.

This will be his last court appearance.

Yuan Junyao walked up and returned the national seal to him. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, as if recalling something.

When he first ascended the throne, the national seal was in the hands of the Queen Mother.

He only got the imperial seal a year after he ascended the throne, and it was only under pressure from court officials that the empress dowager handed it over.

It was very quiet in the Golden Throne Hall.

After a long time, Xia Nanxing finally spoke.

"After today, I hope you will assist the new emperor well. I won't live much longer."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"emperor."

The ministers below were all crying, and their tears were somewhat genuine.

Xia Nanxing waved his hand, signaling Xia Jinxian to come up.

He personally handed the national seal and tiger talisman to Xia Jinxian.

Xia Jinxian knelt on the ground, his eyes red as he said, "I, your son, will definitely live up to your father's trust."

Xia Nanxing nodded and said, "Father believes in you. I only have one thing to tell you: you must treat your aunt well."

"Yes, Father."

"Okay, I still have things to deal with."

Xia Jinxian stepped aside.

Xia Nanxing said with dignity: "Where is Concubine Li?"

Concubine Li was forced by the Imperial Guards to kneel in the center of the hall.

Concubine Li had now calmed down. She kowtowed and said, "Any mistakes are all my fault. Your Majesty wants to kill me or cut me up, I have no objection. Please also let Yi'er go. He knows nothing."

Xia Nanxing would definitely not believe what she said, but Xia Jinyi was his son after all.

It was impossible for him to kill his own son.

Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.

He gave the order with a cold expression: "Send Concubine Li back to her palace and grant her white silk."

After all, they had been married for many years, so Xia Nanxing still treated her with dignity.

"Come here, pass on my decree to summon the Fifth Prince back to the capital immediately."
