It's clear that it's going to succeed, but at the last moment, it fell short?

"No, it can't be!" Nangong Chen didn't believe it, he kept shaking his head, trembling all over, how could he believe that he had failed at a critical time?

"You rebel!" Suddenly, a low and familiar voice sounded, and Nangong Chen almost lost his soul when he heard it. He stepped back a few steps, looking at Emperor Xichu and Queen Wang who were being helped out in disbelief, and his whole body was cold.

By now, Nangong Chen finally understood that the general trend had gone.

He worked hard for many years to prepare, and planned for more than half a year, but he didn't expect it to fail so much.

"No, this palace doesn't believe it! Absolutely not believe! ”

The strong unwillingness and resentment engulfed Nangong Chen like a tide, he suddenly raised his sword and aimed it at the front, his eyes quickly scanned, seeing a noble lady standing next to him in a panic, he rushed over directly, grabbed her, the long sword was against her throat, and roared: "If any of you dare to come, this palace will kill her!" ”

"Presumptuous, so far, do you still want to kill people?" Emperor Xichu trembled angrily, "Come on, take down this rebel for me, whether you live or die!" ”

"Don't come, if you dare to come, this palace will kill her." Nangong Chen clamped this noble lady and kept retreating, he knew that there was no way out, but he could only survive. He is unwilling, unwilling, obviously everything is ready, why did it suddenly become like this? He still has so many armaments, and he hasn't used it yet, so why is this going to be gone?

Clang!

Yuan Xing raised his hand, shot out a bamboo chopstick, and directly hit the half-cut sword in Nangong Chen's hand, and then pounced in an instant, grabbed his wrist, twisted it behind him, and stared at the crook of his leg with one knee, Nangong Chen knelt down involuntarily, unable to move.

Seeing Nangong Chen being captured, the panicked courtiers present burst into cheers.

This thrilling palace is finally over.

Countless courtiers rushed to kneel down in front of Emperor Xichu as if they were loyal, and they were so excited that they burst into tears, and they all told about Nangong Chen's evil deeds just now. Emperor Xichu and Empress Wang were so easily frightened that they reacted a little, how could they have the heart to listen to these people?

Nangong Qing hurriedly walked over, bowed down and said, "Father and Queen Mother, are you all right?" It's better to send someone back to the palace as soon as possible, so that you can rest. The matter here is only handled by the sons, and the father and queen mother do not have to worry. ”

Emperor Xichu nodded, not even in the mood to say, Queen Wang was better: "Qing'er, then I'll leave it to you here." ”

After speaking, she glanced at Nalan Ye again, and the complicated emotions in her eyes were overflowing, but she didn't say anything after all. patted the hand of the palace maid beside her, and Queen Wang said softly: "Qingluan, the palace won't thank you for today's matter, you will be free to enter the palace another day, and the palace has something to say to you." ”

In a moment, Emperor and Empress Wang of Western Chu were escorted back to the palace by the forbidden army.

The remaining forbidden troops immediately surrounded the Five Princes' Mansions and found a large amount of armaments and explosives in the warehouse. Most of the courtiers had dispersed, and the remaining soldiers Shangshu and Xuanping Marquis and others were dumbfounded. If Nangong Chen had used these things against them from the beginning, I was afraid that today's incident would be even more tragic.

A well-prepared rebellion chaos ended like this, but it also left a deep impression on everyone who experienced it.

The next day, as everyone expected, Nangong Chen, the fifth prince who forced the palace prisoner, went directly to prison, stripped him of the position of the prince, and waited for his fate. All the people in the Five Princes' Mansion were sentenced to confiscate the army, and all the confiscated family property was confiscated. But it was not Emperor Xichu who announced the matter, but the crown prince Nangong Qing.

Nangong Qing didn't say much, but just announced the execution of Nangong Chen to the courtiers, and hurriedly retreated.

This matter is just an explanation to the courtiers, and the matter that Nangong Qing has to deal with now is even more tricky, because last night, when Emperor Xichu and Queen Wang returned to the palace, in less than an hour, Nalan Ye came.

In the Tianol Palace, Emperor Xichu only wore a white undershirt and sat on the bed, no matter how the queen persuaded him, he did not react. However, the strong emotions in the eyes of Emperor Xichu revealed the inner shock at this time, which was difficult to calm down.

Yesterday, he saw Nalan Ye again.

After a long absence. Emperor Xichu still felt a strong threat from Nalan Ye. It's just yesterday's situation, he can't refuse, if it weren't for Nalan Ye and Prince Nangong Qing arriving, I'm afraid he would really be in Nangong Chen's hands.

Although Nalan Ye did not seem to betray him, there was no sign of rebellion, and it could even be said that he saved him, but instead of being grateful, Emperor Xichu became more and more jealous.

It was so easy to shatter Nangong Chen's plan, which can't help but talk about Nalan Ye's ability to strategize. If it weren't for Nalan Ye who had already known about this and secretly investigated, how could he have won so easily?

Although Nangong Qing also participated in the rescue, Emperor Xichu was convinced. If this matter does not have Nalan Ye's layout, I am afraid that Nangong Qing will not be able to solve this matter so easily. Thinking of this, Emperor Xichu felt deeply uneasy, such a strong minister had reached the point where he couldn't control it, how could he rest assured?

Two months ago, Nalan Ye wanted to force him to abdicate and pass the throne to the crown prince Nangong Qing, will Nalan Ye still make this request this time? Thinking that he was very likely to lose the throne, and even if the throne was passed on to Nangong Qing, Nalan Ye might also take the opportunity to control the government, and Nangong Qing would only be a puppet emperor in the end.

Is his country in Xichu going to be cut off like this?

Thinking of this, Emperor Xichu was full of unwillingness, and he couldn't wait to kill Nalan Ye, where did he still have the idea of being grateful to him? However, such an idea is just to think about it, not to mention putting it into action, and even if you think about it, you feel deeply powerless. Because at this moment, Nalan Ye and Nangong Qing were outside the hall.

"Your Majesty......"

Looking at Emperor Xichu's ugly face, Queen Wang couldn't bear it anymore, and said softly with relief: "The concubine knows what you're worried about." But what's the use of worrying now? ”

With a sharp sweep of his eyes, Emperor Xichu looked at Queen Wang viciously, and the latter felt a sigh in his heart, but he still barely controlled it and did not flinch. "Your Majesty has worked so hard for so many years, isn't it just for the people of Li in Western Chu? As long as they can live a prosperous and stable life, this is His Majesty's greatest wish. ”

Knowing that Emperor Xichu is just a desire to control and wants to control everything, but Queen Wang said that she is working hard for the country and the people, just to let Emperor Xichu step down: "Qing'er has grown up and can share your worries for Your Majesty, why don't Your Majesty let go and hand over this burden to Qing'er?" After going through so many things, Your Majesty's health is getting worse day by day, and you really should have a good rest. ”

Queen Wang persuaded bitterly, and her tone was gentle, only hoping that Emperor Xichu would listen.

"What, does the queen think that I can't do it anymore and am going to die?" Suddenly, Emperor Xichu said coldly.

"No, Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean that." As soon as she heard this, Queen Wang immediately knelt down in a panic: "The concubine just hopes that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon body and not work too hard, and the concubine has no other meaning." ”

"Doesn't the queen just want me to give up the throne and hand it over to the crown prince?"

The words held in his heart were like a volcanic eruption, and Emperor Xichu couldn't help but roar out: "Tell you, I'm not old, I'm only fifty, and there are still a few decades to go, Xichu is mine, no one can take it away, do you hear!" ”

"Yes, yes, the concubine heard it." Queen Wang nodded in fright, full of sadness, it seems that the persuasion just now has all been in vain. Even though she had only experienced yesterday's danger, Emperor Xichu did not give up at all, but felt more and more the importance of rights, and if she went on like this, she really had no choice.

What the two didn't know was that outside the hall separated by a curtain, Nangong Qing and Nalan Ye were already standing at the door, standing quietly for a long time. The words of Empress Wang and Emperor Xichu were all heard clearly.

"Well, you're going to die now?" Nalan Ye sneered.

Nangong Qing didn't speak, he had nothing to say.

From the day he was made the crown prince, Nangong Qing knew that one day he would inherit the throne and become the next emperor of Western Chu, provided that as long as Western Chu did not break the country. He conscientiously studied all kinds of ways of governing the country, only thinking that one day in the future, his father would be old, and then he would pass on the throne to him......

I never thought that on this day, he would force his father to abdicate!

But Nangong Qing also knew that if Xichu was in the hands of his father again, there would only be a bigger mess. He is obstinate and suspicious, and as long as there is a day of Nalan Night, this suspicion will not disappear. But Nalan ...... night Nangong Qing knew very well that his father and emperor couldn't fight Nalan Ye at all.

Not to mention anything else, Nalan Ye has almost controlled eighty percent of the troops of Western Chu, and Nalan Ye's impression in the hearts of Western Chu's subjects - God of War! Even if it was those courtiers who were like foxes, who dared to offend Nalan Ye casually?

Looking at Nangong Qing, who was speechless, Nalan Ye said indifferently: "For your sake, it is also Qingluan who begs this king, otherwise, do you think this king will let go of Emperor Xichu?" Just because of his harm to Qingluan, this king can't wait to kill him, Nangong Qing, this king only said the last time, Xichu, if you don't want it, this king will be handed over to others. ”

Nangong Qing was shocked, and Nalan Ye seemed to threaten: "The queen mother is not bad to Qingluan, although the little prince has only been born for a short time, it is not without such a young emperor before." It's a big deal that this king will be regent for a few years, and when the little prince grows up, he will hand over the throne to him......"

"Ziqing, are you really forcing me?" Nangong Qing said angrily.

"This king is forcing you, what about you?" Nalan Ye sneered, and did not give in, "Those who become big things are not informal, and this king does not let you kill people, but just let you succeed to the throne, this kind of thing is changed to others, who doesn't want to, just your mother-in-law and mother have to resign!" ”

"However, if I force my father to abdicate, what is the difference between me and my fifth brother?" Nangong Qing's face was full of anger.

Nalan Ye sneered: "Well, you don't want to be this wicked person, this king doesn't care." As soon as the words fell, he lifted the beaded curtain and walked in without looking back.
