Prince Zhu asked someone to go to the *** Mansion to bring Zhu Jingshu (the third old lady).

When she entered the emperor's bedroom and saw her own brother, the emperor, for whom she had devoted her whole life, she couldn't even stand up.

"Your Majesty..." Zhu Jingshu threw herself to the dragon bed, tears streaming down her face.

She was really scared. How long could the emperor live in this condition? Whether she and her son could gain a foothold in Canglan depended entirely on the emperor's will.

They are real siblings.

If the emperor died, the prince would not give them and their son a good life.

Since she returned to the country, the prince has never treated her well and only respected her as aunt at the emperor's request.

Emperor Canglan reached out with difficulty and held Zhu Jingshu's hand.

"Imperial sister..., is your heart...towards Canglan?" Emperor Canglan was indeed grateful to his sister.

When his imperial sister left, he was already eleven years old. Before leaving, his mother told him that his imperial sister was going to pave the way for him.

The two siblings have maintained correspondence for decades.

She wrote letters to tell him everything her sister had done in the Wei Dynasty.

But now the Wei Dynasty has forced Canglan into a desperate situation.

"Your Majesty, I am your biological sister, how can you doubt my loyalty?

How much have I done for Canglan over the years?

The eldest prince of Wei was crippled by my mother and I, and we also crippled the prince of Prince Rong's Mansion. We also pushed my own grandson to the position of prince.

We stole the iron box twice. If it weren't for the incompetence of the person you sent to pick it up, we would have gotten it the first time.

It doesn’t matter if we fail, we can just steal again.

If I hadn't missed the chance to drink the contraceptive soup, I would never have given birth to Zhe'er. I have done so much for Canglan, isn't it enough?

Your Majesty, I have always remembered what my father said to me.

As long as I can do what he arranges, he will make my mother the virtuous concubine and you the crown prince in the future.

I did it.

You also sit on the throne.

Your Majesty, my mother and I have devoted all our efforts to Canglan.

Zhe'er abandoned his wife and children to bring the iron box back to Canglan. Isn't that enough?"

Zhu Jingshu cried with tears in her eyes.

"Aunt, the emperor is now in a difficult situation. Just look at her." Prince Zhu did not feel much sympathy after hearing her crying.

As a royal princess, isn't it your duty to make sacrifices for the royal family?

He handed her the two letters from the credential and the letter written by Shangguan Ziqi.

Zhu Jingshu took it and read it quickly, then fell to the ground.

"No, no, Your Majesty, you can't hand us mother and son over.

It took a lot of effort for me to fake my death and return to Canglan. I lived in fear all my life, and only after I came back did I live a peaceful life for a few months.

I'm already sixty years old, how many more years can I live? Please let me spend the rest of my life in peace."

Zhu Jingshu didn't want to die, so she got up again, threw herself to the bed and begged.

She has done so much for Canglan, how could she die?

Emperor Canglan was heartbroken when he heard her crying and begging. He had never doubted his sister's loyalty to Canglan.

He also placed people around the imperial sister, and received news many times that the imperial sister was doing her best to work for Canglan.

But what should he do to save his sister?

Emperor Canglan waved his hand.

Prince Zhu asked someone to take her away first.

"My son..., find someone who is good at speaking..., go to Wei to negotiate peace..., and try to save your aunt... if you can. If I had not ascended the throne... you would not have been the crown prince." Emperor Canglan said intermittently.

"Yes, father." Prince Zhu also understood what his father meant.

If you can insure it, insure it; if you can’t, you have to give up.

"My son..., please write a confession of guilt for me. My health is almost failing..., all the guilt... will be borne by me. I... will go and apologize to your royal grandfather." Emperor Canglan had no other choice but to apologize to the people and ancestors of Canglan.

"Father." Prince Zhu opened his eyes wide in surprise.

I didn't expect that my father would take all the responsibility on himself.

This is paving the way for his future.

If he waits until he comes to power to write the edict of repentance, it will have a great impact on him.

Now that the emperor has taken on this responsibility, it will be of great benefit to him.

"Go ahead. Take me to the ancestral temple... I want to confess... in front of... the ancestors of the Zhu family."

After Emperor Canglan finished speaking, his body relaxed, and the look of dejection on his face became even more intense.

Like a dying old man, waiting for the last moment to come.

Zhu Jingshu was sent back to the *** Mansion.

Zhu Hongzhe was waiting in the mansion.

"Mother?"

Zhu Jingshu shook her head and didn't want to say a word.

She had already seen that the emperor's health was failing and he probably wouldn't last much longer.

There is no way that the Great Wei would let them and their son go.

Zhu Hongzhe knew from his mother's expression that it was not a good thing.

"Zhe'er, find a way to escape, as far as you can. Mother is old and can no longer protect you. The Rong Palace of the Great Wei State demands that we be returned to the Rong Palace."

Zhu Jingshu suppressed her grief and anger for a long time before speaking.

"Mother, what did the royal uncle say?" Zhu Hongzhe looked expressionless.

A few days after he brought the iron box back, he received news that Wei had used bombs to capture the city.

He knew that they were finished.

But he had no way out.

"Your uncle doesn't have much time left, so you should make plans early."

Just as the mother and son were discussing how to escape, the leader of the guards outside the mansion rushed in.

"My lord, I'm sorry, but the crown prince has ordered that you find a new place to live."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Hongzhe felt bad.

"It's nothing special. We just want to find you a better place to live." The leader smiled dazzlingly.

"Zhe'er, go quickly." Zhu Jingshu immediately stood in front of her son and told him to escape now.

But with so many people around, how could he escape?

In the end, he was caught and thrown into jail because he was no match for his opponent.

Leaving the noble *** crying on the ground.

Shangguan Ziqi also got the news quickly.

Just sneered and said, "Serves you right."

This is just the beginning. Returning to Wei will be their hell on earth.

After several days of observation and inquiries, Shangguan Ziqi also learned that Emperor Canglan was going to the ancestral temple to repent.

"Master, this is a good opportunity." Qingfeng came back from outside with an excited look on his face.

They brought a hundred black balls with them to Canglan this time.

After this period of research and exploration, the prince has become better and better, and his power has become greater and greater.

The black balls they brought could probably turn the Canglan Palace into ruins.

"Well, you all should be careful these days. The emperor is traveling, and the security is tight. The whole city will probably be under martial law.

Don't let anyone discover our whereabouts. Also, have a few brothers find a way to sneak in. Then listen to my signal and act in unison."

Shangguan Ziqi certainly would not miss this good opportunity.

As long as the emperor leaves the palace, everything will be easy.

Ever since Prince Jing and his men sneaked into the palace and dropped several bombs, the entry and exit of the palace have been strictly checked, and the guards and patrols inside have become more frequent.

He went to investigate secretly on the second night after he arrived.

It's not easy to get in.

If he went in alone, it wouldn't be a big problem, but his strength alone was not enough. He couldn't kill with one strike.

Now that Emperor Canglan has come out, and is going to the ancestral temple, the royal family members and important ministers will definitely follow him.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month.

The weather is gloomy, a sign that snow is about to fall.

However, Emperor Canglan's carriage did not leave the palace on time due to the weather.
