The eldest prince laughed crazily as if possessed by a demon. It was truly a case of one mistake being missed! He was still one step behind! He was about to win, but in the end, he was still tricked by a little bastard he had looked down upon since childhood.

Concubine Fang looked at the person standing behind the little bastard and knew that the situation was hopeless. However, she smiled strangely. She pulled out a flute from her bosom and played it.

Suddenly, a man in a black cloak appeared beside Concubine Fang.

Oh, it's quite lively here! What's wrong, little beauty? The man in the black cloak suddenly came forward and hugged Concubine Fang, saying ambiguously: "What's up? Little beauty, are you missing me again? Or is it that I didn't satisfy you?"

Concubine Fang: "Hate it, stop being so rude."

Oh, my little beauty, what is it that you are looking for me for? Is there anything I can do for you? "

Concubine Fang said to the man. "I only ask you to take my son with you and let him live a good life. I know you are capable, and I hope you will take my son away and teach him. I want my son to sit in that position in the future." Concubine Fang pointed to the chair where the emperor sat.

The man in the black cloak laughed, "Don't worry! Little beauty, I will take you away right away." The man looked at the chair... with disdain on his face. Humph! It's easy to do."

Concubine Fang shook her head and turned to the eldest prince and said, "Son, you must remember to think more, consider more, and observe more. You must handle things calmly and calmly. In the future, without mother and grandfather by your side to assist you, you must be more careful and listen more to what Zhang Bo says. When Long Linqi heard his mother's words, he hurriedly stopped her."

I won’t go unless you come with me.”

Concubine Fang: "Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave now, neither of us, mother and son, will be able to leave, and it will be too late."

The Fourth Prince smiled sinisterly. He wanted to leave, but it wasn't that easy. "Come, capture this assassin and this traitor who is plotting to usurp the throne."

The man in the black cloak laughed out loud, "Boy, don't be so arrogant. You can't beat me." The man in black waved his hand and disappeared in a flash.

Everyone stared in astonishment. There was no trace of the man in black. Even less of the Crown Prince. Only the voice echoed in the air: "Don't worry, kid. Just wait. I'll bring this kid back to settle the score with you."

Our Fourth Prince clenched his fists in anger. "How come they all have people willingly risking their lives to save them, while I've been the one abandoned since I was a child?" Then the Fourth Prince put away the strange expression on his face. "Is Mother alright? How's Father? He's feeling better. It's your fault for being late to save me."

The Queen smiled happily and was about to say, "It's not too late, it's not too late." But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Fourth Prince's next words, which caught the Queen off guard and almost made her lose her balance.

The Fourth Prince said, "Mother, since my Third Brother is gone and my Father is in a coma, and we have experienced this time with these rebels stirring up trouble, you see, there is no one in charge among the civil and military officials in the court, and the affairs of the court also need to be handled."

Queen, don't worry, your father will wake up.

The Fourth Prince said in a tone that left little room for doubt, "Mother, I think you should think carefully about this! It's not a solution for Father to remain unconscious. Someone has to share the burden with him..."

The Queen looked at the Fourth Prince in shock. What was he doing?

The Queen was a little incredulous, but she quickly put away her surprise and pretended not to understand, looking as if she had been frightened and dazed. She asked Chang'er, "What do you think we should do?"

The fourth prince said, "Mother, why don't you write an imperial edict on behalf of the emperor, and let me take over the government temporarily. When the emperor recovers, I will hand over the power."

The Queen said, "Your father hasn't woken up yet. We need to find a miracle doctor to treat him. I, your mother, don't dare to make the decision."

The fourth young master lowered his head and glanced. If this person was his biological mother, why would she always oppose him sitting in that position?

The Fourth Prince let out a low laugh. It was as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was saying to the Queen, "That's right! How could Mother be willing to do that? After all, you lost your eldest son, and you still have a younger one! How could you let this great power fall to someone else? And let me take that position?"

The Fourth Prince's face, always soft and gentle, had lost its usual gentle, humble smile. The dimples that once graced his cheeks with a smile were now gone. His innocent expression, his eyes once as clear as morning dew, had now become cold and ruthless. He addressed the group following him, "Please have them all sit in the side hall. I will deal with these individuals after I ascend the throne."

The officials all looked at the Fourth Prince, who had always seemed to have little presence, in disbelief. Wasn't he here to rescue the emperor? How could he have the same goal as the First Prince? Some ministers who were fawning on the Fourth Prince, seeing that he was now in power and the head of the Black Evil Pavilion, came to the Fourth Prince's side like servile lackeys. They knelt hurriedly and said, "Your humble servant is here to pay his respects to the Fourth Prince."

"Others don't know what the Black Evil Pavilion does. But how many of the wives of the powerful families in the capital have hired assassins through the Black Evil Pavilion to take others' lives? Now that they know the leader of the Black Evil Pavilion is actually the Fourth Prince, who would dare to act rashly? It's on par with the famous Shadow Pavilion on this continent."

The Fourth Prince didn't care what they called him, as he would soon take that position.

The Fourth Prince's advisors were not pleased. They had accompanied him every step of the way, and now they were only a little short of success, so they couldn't afford any mistakes. They ordered someone to bring a blank imperial edict, requesting the Empress to write the decree of succession on the Emperor's behalf.

The Queen angrily pointed at the Fourth Prince and said, "Fourth Prince, you are so bold."

The Fourth Prince lifted the Queen's hand and whispered, "Bold, bold things are yet to come! Mother, please watch carefully. Oh, I forgot to tell you, the people sent to hunt down the Third Prince are also my people. You don't know! I have contributed to the Third Prince's injuries over the years."

When the queen heard this, she was shocked that her son, who had been raised carefully by her without a mother since childhood, turned out to be a poisonous snake, and a man-eating snake at that.

The Queen clutched her heart. "You, you, how could you do this? Haven't I treated you well? Since you were little, I've carefully cared for you and raised you. You have everything they have, but how could you treat the Third Brother like this? He treats you like his own brother. He's your brother!"
