In the palace, Wu Xingquan was teasing the little prince, and He Guifei was watching all this with a smile on the side. She is confident that this operation will be successful. After success, her little prince will become the crown prince. And she will definitely become a queen in the future and become the mother of a country.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you." Suddenly, a maid from the palace came in and said.

"Oh? Did the prince return from Europe? No one told me anything! Quick announcement. Wu Xingquan said.

"The prince is back? This, how is this possible? On the other side, He Wanting's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe all this. She was still dreaming of Wu Haoxuan being assassinated and her little prince becoming the crown prince. But in the blink of an eye, she woke up from her sweet dream. She knew that it must have been a failure in the assassination of Wu Haoxuan this time.

At the same time, He Wanting was also a little afraid. The assassination failed, will it implicate her and the little prince? You must know that Wu Haoxuan has the power of the entire country. Originally, he thought that he could assassinate Wu Haoxuan in one fell swoop. In this case, even if Wu Haoxuan's people are dissatisfied, it doesn't matter. Wu Xingquan, the emperor, will take care of everything. However, Wu Haoxuan did not die. That's the big deal. Once Wu Haoxuan traces her body, I'm afraid that Wu Xingquan won't be able to protect her. This made He Wanting tremble with fright.

Wu Xingquan handed over the little prince in his arms to He Wanting, and he discovered He Wanting's strangeness. However, Wu Haoxuan was about to come, so he didn't ask much.

"I've seen my father!" Wu Haoxuan and Li Yanling saluted Wu Xingquan at the same time.

"No courtesy. Haoxuan, this trip to Europe has been hard! Let you work so hard for the empire, I'm the father. I really don't want to go. Wu Xingquan said with a smile. The empire's management trip in Wu Haoxuan was thriving. He, who became the emperor, was also very satisfied.

"Father, my sons are not hard. This trip to Europe touched me a lot. The gap between the empire and the European powers is still too big, if you want to catch up with and surpass the European powers. There is undoubtedly a long way to go. So, we need to work hard. Wu Haoxuan said solemnly.

"Hmm. After all, we have lagged behind for too long, and if we want to catch up with and surpass the Western powers, it will not happen overnight. However, although national affairs are important, you should also pay more attention to your body. Wu Xingquan advised.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, he felt Wu Xingquan's heartfelt concern for him, which made him have something to say, and he didn't know how to say it.

Although Wu Haoxuan has this scruples. But Li Yanling on the side couldn't care about so much.

"Your Majesty, just this morning, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just returned to China, he was assassinated. Fortunately, the Assassin was captured by the Security Service, and His Highness was able to avoid any harm. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Li Yanling said.

"What? Who would dare to be so bold? Dare to assassinate Hao Xuan. Such an act is simply a provocation to the Empire. After being caught. There is no forgiveness for direct killing! Wu Xingquan was furious. Even with the little prince, Wu Haoxuan is still the son he values the most. Not to mention. He also knew that the empire's achievements today were all due to Wu Haoxuan.

"Boom." As soon as Wu Xingquan's words were finished, He Guifei had already fallen to the ground, her eyes were blank, and she didn't know what was going on.

Wu Xingquan saw this situation. I was stunned for a moment, and then everything was understood. Although he indulges in sensuality, he is nothing. He Guifei has such a big reaction now, which undoubtedly shows that this assassination is this time. It has a lot to do with her. Even, everything is at her disposal.

"You! You did such a thing. Someone, take her down for me. Wu Xingquan ordered.

A few palace maids immediately brought Concubine He and the little prince down.

Wu Haoxuan and Li Yanling looked at all this coldly.

"Hao Xuan, I never thought that this vicious woman would do such a thing. I will never let her go. Wu Xingquan said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, but Wu Xingquan's promise could not satisfy him. He could see that Wu Xingquan had feelings for this woman, and obviously wanted to protect this woman. If he does something else, Wu Haoxuan may not fight with Wu Xingquan to the end. However, in this matter, he will definitely not back down.

"Father, I don't want to affect the relationship between our father and son because of this woman. However, no one can guarantee that this woman will be able to do such a thing this time. How crazy will she be in the future. This woman has been blinded by power. Wu Haoxuan said. Fighting a snake does not die but is bitten, such an assassination, it is enough for him to experience it once, and he never wants to experience it a second time.

Wu Xingquan was stunned, originally he thought that if he said this, Wu Haoxuan would back down. Unexpectedly, this time Wu Haoxuan chose to insist. This was somewhat unexpected.

"Haoxuan, what are you going to do?" Wu Xingquan asked.

"Father, in order to prevent future troubles, Concubine He can't stay. The little prince is not suitable to stay in the royal family anymore. Wu Haoxuan said coldly.

This solution is the only way Wu Haoxuan can think of. After all, a femme fatale like He Guifei, if she is left behind, it will be like a time bomb, maybe it will explode at any time. Wu Haoxuan didn't want to be shattered by this time bomb. As for the little prince, even if he doesn't have the intention of fighting for power and profit, it is inevitable that he will not be used by people with intentions. Wu Haoxuan was originally a person who was afraid of trouble. Let the little prince grow up in an ordinary family and don't know his life experience, it may be the best choice for him.

Wu Xingquan didn't expect Wu Haoxuan to say such a thing, he wanted to angrily reprimand Wu Haoxuan for being rebellious. However, what he saw was Wu Haoxuan's determined eyes. For Wu Haoxuan, Wu Xingquan also knows better. He knew very well that once Wu Haoxuan made up his mind, no one would try to stop it. Even if he is the emperor of the empire, all the rights of the empire are in the hands of Wu Haoxuan.

"You, Haoxuan, are you really going to do so much? He Guifei is not right this time, I will punish her. I promise that it will never happen again, so spare her life. As for the little prince, he is still so young and has left his mother, how can he live? Wu Xingquan's tone was tinged with pleading. He knew that in front of Wu Haoxuan, his father was not qualified to put on a stand with his father or the emperor, otherwise, it would only backfire.

However, this time Wu Haoxuan still shook his head firmly.

"Your Majesty, save me, you have to save me! You are the emperor, and no one dares not listen to you. They want to take the little prince away, stop them! He Guifei hugged the little prince and rushed out from behind.

"Be bold, give me all the back." Wu Xingquan was suddenly furious. Originally, the palace maids who were going to take the little prince away suddenly hesitated.

Wu Haoxuan gave those palace maids a look, and the palace maids retreated.

"Haoxuan, can't you really tolerate their mother and son? You're afraid that they'll threaten you again, so just lock them up and do it. Is it necessary to separate their mother and son? Wu Xingquan pleaded again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff, Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Your Excellency the Minister of the Army, Your Excellency the Minister of the Navy...... Ask to see. "The civil and military ministers of the empire have all rushed to the palace.

They waited in the palace for a while, but they didn't get any news. So, everyone couldn't sit still and rushed directly to the palace.

"Announce it!" Wu Xingquan said a little weakly. He knew that these ministers were coming at this moment, and they were definitely not supporting him.

Soon, Yang Du and the others all came to the main hall. They saluted Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan successively.

"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that this time the matter belongs to Your Majesty's family affairs, and those of us who are foreign ministers should not bother with it. However, the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has shaken the country's capital. This is something that the ministers absolutely do not want to see. Please also ask Your Majesty to consider the overall situation and the people of the empire. Please also ask Your Majesty to severely punish the mastermind behind the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Yang Du said in a deep voice.

"I beg Your Majesty to severely punish the mastermind behind the scenes!" The military ministers said one after another.

"Are you trying to force the palace? Well, I know, you've never taken me as an emperor to heart. Shall I abdicate then? In that case, you will be satisfied. Wu Xingquan roared angrily.

"Your Majesty sees it. His Majesty was able to abdicate on his own initiative, which was a blessing for the empire and the subjects of the world. The people of the world will remember His Majesty's exploits. Yang Du said immediately.

The other ministers also said at once. Wu Xingquan actually took the initiative to abdicate, which is undoubtedly the best. Of course, although everyone knows that what Wu Xingquan just said is just an angry sentence. However, Jun has no jokes, since Wu Xingquan has already taken the initiative to say so. Then they naturally have to sit on this matter.

Wu Xingquan was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect these ministers to be like this. He just said that he would abdicate, but it was just an angry remark. Unexpectedly, this gave these guys an excuse.

"That's it, that's it. It's all up to you! Wu Xingquan said helplessly. He knew that the matter had come to this point, and that there was no other way for him to do it.

On August 16, 4609 (11), Emperor Wu Xingquan issued an edict of abdication. In the edict, Wu Xingquan claimed that he was too old to deal with heavy state affairs, so he gave up the throne to the imperial crown prince Wu Haoxuan. Of course, ordinary people have no way of knowing the truth of all this. (To be continued.) )
