The emperor was bedridden for many days, during which he fell asleep several times, and in the last few days, he didn't want to be disturbed at all, so he took away the other palace people, leaving only an old man in the palace.

"Your Majesty, what are you calling the old slave?" My father-in-law knelt beside the bed and asked.

"The ...... Edict, Regent...... King. The emperor said word by word.

"The old slave understands and has sent someone to invite the regent." My father-in-law pointed to the door.

"Old ...... Four. Quiet...... Whole. The emperor didn't say everything about this, and the father-in-law didn't understand what it meant, but only knew that it might be related to the Fourth Highness. But where the Fourth Highness is, the father-in-law really doesn't know.

"The Emperor...... The ...... "The emperor went without finishing speaking." The father-in-law hurriedly knelt down and bowed. "The emperor is dead." Mouth shouted.

Because the prince lived in the palace, he was the first to know about the matter and ordered someone to take care of the aftermath.

"Father-in-law, what can my father leave behind?" The prince asked with a sad expression.

"The emperor went up very peacefully, and he didn't leave anything important." The father-in-law lied and deliberately concealed the truth.

"So, what about the edict?" The prince asked directly.

"The old slave doesn't know, this matter should be discussed after the regent enters the palace." The father-in-law turned around and wanted to leave.

"Father-in-law, let's go." The prince ordered someone to kill his father-in-law. As soon as my father-in-law died, no one knew what my father said.

The crown prince has been kneeling beside the emperor. He waited for everyone to come before he got up.

"Take care of the prince, the Shangqing is all up to His Royal Highness, the prince must hold on." The ministers persuaded one after another.

There was a wailing bell from the palace, and it rang nine times in total. Only when the emperor dies will he be knocked nine times. There was a sound of mourning on both sides of the street, and the whole country mourned the emperor for three days.

Because the crown prince has reached adulthood and the former emperor has passed away, the prince is in charge of the affairs of the court and the central government, and the regent is not allowed to continue to interfere in politics.

The regent was still a step too late, allowing the crown prince to take the lead. Even if the edict is taken out now, it is inevitable that the prince will do it. The regent had no choice but to reverse the situation before the crown prince ascended the throne.

The inside and outside of the palace are black and white, and those who dare to disrespect the emperor will be beheaded.

The crown prince has long been hostile to the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine became the first person to be killed by the prince. The crown prince wanted to form an alliance with the imperial concubine many times before, but the imperial concubine not only refused, but also turned to favor the regent.

"Concubine Niangniang, it's time for you to hit the road." The prince's man carried a white silk.

"I want to see the prince, I want to see the prince." The imperial concubine stepped back in fear.

"The prince doesn't have time to see you at this time, the slave is also ordered to do things, don't be embarrassed to be a slave." The prince's people pressed the imperial concubine with their hands, and they were killed in three or two strokes. It was announced to the public that the imperial concubine was willing to follow the emperor. and give him a thick burial.

When no one was around, the prince finally couldn't bear to sit on the seat of the dragon chair. I thought that the entire Shangqing belonged to the prince. The prince laughed unscrupulously.

The crown prince ordered people to search for the whereabouts of the jade seal in the palace, and the jade seal was kept in the emperor's bedroom, and it was found without much effort. The prince took the jade seal in his hand and looked at it.

"Prince, this jade seal still needs to be kept by the old slave." The chief eunuch prepared to put away the jade seal.

"There is Father-in-law." The prince handed the jade seal to his father-in-law and glanced at his father-in-law very meaningfully.

"The state mourning period is forty-nine days, and even if the prince is in a hurry, he is not in a hurry at this time." The father-in-law hid the jade seal in the dark compartment under the dragon chair in front of the prince.

"The prince has to remember it. The old slave should also go with the emperor. After the father-in-law finished speaking, he vomited blood and died.

"Father-in-law." The prince looked at his father-in-law with some regret. These days, I live in the palace, and I don't bother my father-in-law. The prince originally wanted to let his father-in-law live. I didn't expect my father-in-law to commit suicide like this.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Prince Regent has entered the palace." The Dark Guard came to report.

A short time later, the crown prince met with the regent alone. "Uncle Huang, what about the edict?" The prince got straight to the point and asked directly.

"Edict? Didn't the prince get the edict? The regent looked at the prince suspiciously.

"Uncle Huang, stop acting." The prince's face suddenly lost expression.

"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can go and check, the door of the regent's palace is open at any time." The regent had an unknowing expression.

"If Uncle Huang insists on not giving it, then don't blame the emperor and nephew for being unreasonable." The crown prince looked at the regent with some coldness.

"I heard that the princess has only been canonized for a short time, right? The crown prince had the privilege of meeting the princess. Does the imperial uncle want to know where the princess is at this time? The prince suddenly laughed.

"It's just a woman, what do you want?" The regent was uneasy, but the surface was still stiff. The crown prince was just testing the regent, but he didn't do anything.

"Is the rumor true? The regent is infatuated with the princess. The imperial nephew wanted to know whether the princess's life was important or the edict was important. The prince deliberately took out a piece of Ouyang Xue's belongings.

"This king has said, just a woman." The regent said as he didn't seem to care.

"Okay, since that's the case, then the emperor's nephew will be offended."

"What do you want?"

"This woman is not important to the imperial uncle, so the prince will let her disappear." The prince suddenly crushed a teacup.

"You dare?"

"Prince Ben won't do that for the time being, and will give Uncle Huang three days to consider. As long as the edict is in hand, the prince will never do anything to hurt the princess. The prince smiled evilly.
