His father's words gave the fifth son very important information. Without having time to ponder them, he immediately stood up and asked, "Generals, should we come to the rescue, or continue to be enemies of my father and me? Make a decision quickly!"

Long Yingbing drew his sword, and his guards immediately placed the king and Qin Ningtian under protection.

"Long live the Emperor! Your Majesty, I, Zhao Ji, and my troops are willing to atone for our crimes through meritorious service!"

"Long live the Emperor! Hu and Hua are willing to atone for their crimes through meritorious service."

In an instant, six generals defected on the spot, which angered Long Yingdao so much that he struggled to his feet and shouted, "You will all pay for your choices! The Regent is about to ascend the throne as Emperor. From now on, there will be no more kings in China, only Emperors."

Lung Ying-tao arrogantly pointed at the six men who had fallen to the king, "You have committed the crime of annihilating your entire family!"

With a thud, Long Yingdao was kicked away by his own bodyguard, Wang Zhongping, and fell directly into the valley, where he died!

Wang Zhongping knelt down with a thud and said, "This humble general, Wang Zhongping, obeyed the orders of the Crown Prince and stepped forward at the critical moment. This humble general was slow to save Your Majesty, and begs Your Majesty to punish me."

Upon hearing that this man was an undercover agent sent by his eldest son, Long Yunfu felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and tears streamed down his face.

If we were to say who he wronged the most in his life, it would be his former empress, the mother of the eldest prince, Long Yingshen.

Lung Ying-shen's mother also had the surname Xiao and was a socialite, but she was not related to Empress Xiao; they only shared the same surname.

Xiao Yuan died in Long Yunfu's arms; Long Yingshen was only four years old at the time.

Long Yunfu always suspected that Queen Xiao had poisoned Xiao Yuan, but he suppressed the matter because he loved her deeply.

Looking back today, Long Yunfu feels extremely guilty.

Lung Ying-shen harbored resentment towards his father, which is why their relationship was always strained.

As the eldest son, Lung Ying-shen harbored resentment at not being named heir apparent.

Therefore, he had been secretly preparing to seize power for a long time.

When the king suddenly announced that his second son would be the regent, Lung Ying-shen's heart sank.

For the past two years, he has had almost no activities, and even resigned from his military post to retire prematurely at home.

Some time ago, the second son personally visited his elder brother to explain his intention to capture the king by force and promised to ascend the throne himself, while all three of the elder brother's sons would be granted titles of nobility.

Lung Ying-shen hates his father, but that doesn't mean he hates him to the point of wanting to kill him.

Wang Zhongping was the eldest brother's wife's cousin, and under his cousin's orders, he had been lying in wait in the second brother's faction for a long time.

Before Wang Zhongping set off, Long Yingshen repeatedly emphasized: "You must not allow the killing of your father to happen. If it is critical, you can contact Zhao Ji and others and tell them to switch sides on the battlefield and rescue the king."

Because Zhao Ji, Wang Zhongping and others defected, and especially because the fourth son, Long Yingdao, was killed by Wang Zhongping, the king's danger was temporarily relieved.

Long Yingbing instructed Wang Zhongping to protect the king in the cave, while he led Zhao Ji and six other generals to jump down into the valley to stabilize the troops and restore order.

More than an hour later, the reprimanded team readjusted its organizational structure to welcome the king back to the capital.

At this moment, Qin Ningtian had already woken up. Upon hearing that the king wanted to return to the capital, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you must not return to the capital."

Long Yunfu looked at him and smiled, "You should call me Father."

"This?" Qin Ningtian was greatly puzzled; he would never dare to address someone like that, even if he were beaten to death.

Long Yingbing stepped forward and explained affectionately, "Your Majesty, while you were unconscious, Father bestowed upon you ten high-ranking official positions. The highest of these positions is the one for you to rule the world. From now on, you will be our family's tenth son."

Upon hearing this, the other generals all knelt down and bowed three times, saying, "Your humble servants pay their respects to Your Highness!"

Seeing Qin Ningtian's bewilderment, the king laughed and said, "Don't you want to be my son?"

Qin Ningtian turned over and knelt down: "Your son pays respects to Father!"

"Oh!" Long Yunfu said with immense happiness and tenderness, "My good son, lie down on the stretcher quickly and don't move around."

Qin Ningtian lay back on the stretcher and said, "Your Majesty, Father, it is said that Long Yingkun is plotting something extremely vicious in Qianning Palace. My cousin asked me to tell you that you must not return to the palace."

“This…?” Long Yunfu turned to look at Lao Wu and the others.

Long Yingbing was unaware of this matter and turned to ask Wang Zhongping and others.

Zhao Ji suddenly slapped himself and cursed himself as a pig.

"Your Majesty, I have also heard rumors about this, but as for what the backup plan is, I have no idea."

His father's words contained crucial information for the fifth son. Without time to ponder their deeper meaning, he immediately stepped forward and asked firmly, "Generals, will you choose to rescue the emperor, or continue to be enemies with us, father and son? Please make a decision quickly!"

Without hesitation, Long Yingbing drew his sword from his waist. Upon seeing this, his guards immediately protected King Long Yunfu and Qin Ningtian in the center.

"Long live the Emperor! This guilty subject Zhao Ji and his troops are willing to atone for their crimes through meritorious service!"

"Long live the Emperor! Your humble servant, Hu Hehua, is also willing to atone for his crimes through meritorious service."

In an instant, six generals turned against him on the spot. This scene enraged Long Yingdao, who struggled to his feet and roared, "You will all pay the price for your choices! The Regent is about to ascend the throne as Emperor. From now on, there will be no more kings in China, only the Emperor."

Lung Ying-tao arrogantly pointed his finger at the six people who had sided with the king and roared, "At that time, you will be convicted of the crime of exterminating your entire family!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Lung Ying-tao was kicked away by his bodyguard, Wang Zhongping, and fell heavily to the bottom of the valley, where he died instantly.

Wang Zhongping knelt down with a thud, his voice firm and resolute: "This humble general, Wang Zhongping, obeyed the orders of the Crown Prince and stepped forward at the critical moment. This humble general has arrived late to save Your Majesty, and I humbly beg Your Majesty to punish me."

Upon hearing that this person was an undercover agent sent by his eldest son, Long Yingshen, Long Yunfu felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and tears streamed down his face.

If we were to say who he wronged the most in his life, it would be Xiao Yuan, the former empress and the birth mother of the eldest prince, Long Yingshen.

Xiao Yuan also has the surname Xiao, but she is not related to Empress Xiao by blood; they only share the same surname.

Xiao Yuan died in Long Yunfu's arms when Long Yingshen was only four years old.

Long Yunfu always suspected that Queen Xiao was responsible for Xiao Yuan's death, but because he loved her deeply, he ultimately kept the matter to himself.

Looking back now, Long Yunfu is filled with guilt and regret.

Lung Ying-shen harbored resentment towards his father, which led to a strained relationship between them.

As the eldest son, Lung Ying-shen has always harbored resentment at not being named the crown prince.

Therefore, he had been secretly preparing for a long time, attempting to seize the throne in order to avenge his father's favoritism.

When the king suddenly announced that his second son, Lung Ying-kun, would be the regent, Lung Ying-shen's heart sank to the bottom.

At this moment, Prince Longbin of the South sneaked into the eldest prince's residence at night, talked with his elder brother for a long time, and presented one piece of evidence after another to prove that the eldest prince's mother was secretly poisoned to death by the current Queen Xiao.

With tears of hatred streaming down his face, Long Bin said, "Not only your mother, but also my mother, were all killed by this poisonous snake."
