Then Qin Chengqian asked, "How is the plan going?"

Zhou Lin replied, "Every part of the palace has been controlled. The Third Prince's wife and the Queen are also under observation. We can take their lives at any time."

Qin Chengqian said calmly: "She's just a woman, not important. The first thing to deal with is the third brother. Once the news of the emperor's death spreads, I don't believe he won't enter the palace."

Hearing this, Zhou Lin asked, "What if he notices something and doesn't enter the palace?"

"Lie first, and if that doesn't work, threaten his son." Qin Chengqian's eyes were grim.

But now, in addition to dealing with the third brother, he has something more important to do.

As he spoke, Qin Chengqian walked towards the emperor's bedroom.

Zhou Lin hurriedly followed, waved his hand and asked someone to bring armor and put it on Qin Chengqian.

"Your Highness, just in case!"

I'm afraid that the emperor may have some secret guards protecting him, so it would be safer to wear armor.

The imperial guards had already surrounded the emperor's bedroom, and all the palace people were trembling with fear.

Only Hai Dehong was guarding the room.

The emperor heard the noise outside and asked Hai Dehong, "What happened outside?"

Just as Haidehong was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A figure in armor rushed into the room, frightening the emperor so much that his face turned pale in an instant.

"Haidehong, I had a nightmare again!" He saw the King of Chu again!

The next moment, the armored figure slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, "Is Father okay?"

After hearing this voice, the emperor's vision gradually became clear. It turned out to be Cheng Qian, not the King of Chu.

"Cheng Qian, why is it you?"

Qin Chengqian smiled coldly, "My father seemed very disappointed when he saw me."

"Do you want to see the third brother? The third brother is about to be beheaded and can't come to see father!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face changed suddenly. He excitedly propped himself up and tried to sit up, but gave up after struggling twice.

"You! What do you want to do!" The emperor finally realized that something was wrong.

I heard noises outside all night. None of the palace servants came in, and Hai Dehong didn't go out either.

"I... of course am here to send my father to see my mother. After he leaves, you must explain to my mother why you wanted to take her life!" Qin Chengqian's eyes were cold and murderous.

When the emperor heard this, his heart was shocked.

After being shocked, he asked with red eyes: "You know everything? How did you know?"

Seeing him admit it himself, Qin Chengqian's eyes were red, and he suppressed his anger, "When my mother was seriously ill, she always believed that my father would say the truth and pass the throne to me. She never doubted that her serious illness was caused by you, my father!"

"Why! Why did you want to kill her?!"

"She did so much for you, and you're just destroying her!"

"She actually suffered so much!"

Hearing this, the emperor slowly closed his eyes and said, "I have never treated her unfairly."

"It was indeed promised that our eldest son would be the future crown prince."

"I asked her to get rid of the child in Jiang Ningwan's belly, but I didn't ask her to harm the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother protected Jiang Ningwan, she was old and couldn't protect her for much longer."

"She was so cruel as to attack the Queen Mother! She is my mother, how could I tolerate her?"

The Queen Mother favored Sixteen, and he had always felt unfair. Although he had resentment towards the Queen Mother, he had never thought of harming her.

The Queen acted recklessly and offended the Queen Mother. How could he let her off easily?

But he was afraid that touching the queen would cause dissatisfaction in the Zhou family and turmoil in the court, so he had no choice but to poison her, causing her to become seriously ill and die.

After listening to this, Qin Chengqian smiled coldly, "Father, you are so hypocritical!"

"You wanted to get rid of Jiang Ningwan's unborn child. You were clearly afraid of the King of Chu, and you couldn't tolerate the Queen Mother protecting him. You didn't do it yourself, but asked my mother to do it."

"She solved your problem, and you turned around and destroyed it!"

"You killed my mother and didn't even keep your promise to her! How are you going to repay what you owe my mother and me?" Qin Chengqian angrily grabbed the emperor's chest.

The emperor's eyes were red as he angrily asked, "Did you do anything to my body?"

Qin Chengqian sneered, "Father, you've only just realized it now? It's too late."

"Do you think you can hide what happened between you and Jiang Xiru from me? Why do you think you are so obsessed with spending the night in Chenglu Palace? The incense lit in Chenglu Palace can kill you!"

The emperor was shocked and angry, "You! You..."

He raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at Qin Chengqian with trembling hands.

But Qin Chengqian easily pushed it away.

"My father forced me to do this! If you hadn't killed my mother, things wouldn't have come to this!" Qin Chengqian gritted his teeth, raised his hand and slowly placed it on the emperor's neck.

"Father, I will send you off for the last time!"

After saying that, he slowly exerted force with his palm.

The emperor had no strength to struggle and soon fell silent.

Qin Chengqian's heart sank when he confirmed that the emperor had passed away.

It's finally all coming to an end!

He slowly stood up and looked at Hai Dehong in the corner, "Eunuch Hai, what did you see?"

Hai Dehong knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't see anything!"

Qin Chengqian was very satisfied when he heard this name.

"Eunuch Hai is quite understanding! Then help me with one more thing!"

Qin Chengqian had someone bring the imperial edict, wrote the will of succession with his own hands, and stamped it with the imperial seal.

Handed it to Hai Dehong, "Do you know where this imperial edict came from?"

Hai Dehong took it with both hands and replied, "The last emperor drafted the edict before his death and handed it to this old servant personally."

Qin Chengqian was very satisfied.

"No wonder Father has kept you by his side for so long. Eunuch Hai is quite capable."

Being so tactful, he can rest assured.

The emperor is dead, and if Hai Dehong, who was beside him, is also dead, people will inevitably suspect that he killed the emperor and seized the throne, and will question whether his will is fake.

But Hai Dehong was not dead and could prove that the will was authentic. Even if many people did not believe it in their hearts, it would not cause any trouble.

He deserves this position.

Now all he needs to do is get rid of Qin Wenli, and he can rest easy!

Walking out of the room, Zhou Lin knelt down excitedly, "Your Highness!"

Qin Chengqian raised his hand and helped him up. "Uncle, there's no need to be so formal. Our great cause has not yet been accomplished. We must first capture Qin Wenli!"

Hearing this, Zhou Lin nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! Kyoto City is under my control. Qin Wenli can't escape!"

However, the next moment, a guard came hurriedly to report: "Your Highness, the Third Prince has led the city defense battalion into the palace."

Qin Chengqian's eyes turned cold, "He can actually find helpers. It's just right that he came back. He's just going to die!"

Zhou Lin quickly said, "I'll go and take him down right now!"

Qin Chengqian walked away, "I'll go meet him in person!"

Only when he saw Qin Wenli die with his own eyes could he feel at ease.

At this moment, Qin Wenli was leading Song Mingyu and other people from the city defense camp to break into the palace gate and fight with the imperial guards.

Everyone in Kyoto who heard the news was in a panic, stayed awake all night, and sent more guards to guard their homes.

When Qin Chengqian and his men rushed over, he saw Qin Wenli at a glance.

"Third brother, you are back as expected, and you still have some blood in you."

Qin Wenli was covered in blood and shouted angrily, "What did you do to my father?"

Qin Chengqian snorted coldly, "You poisoned my father, and you still dare to ask me what's wrong? Today, I will avenge my father!"

After saying that, he picked up his sword and flew forward, stabbing towards Qin Wenli.

The two men fought fiercely.
