“……”

The Seventh Prince was questioned and fell silent, but he heard Su Huaixiao chuckle.

"Old Seven, you don't have to be embarrassed, this is the grudge between me and Su Baiyan. If you can't bear it, you might as well take Miss Song and Yueli and leave first. ”

Hearing that the Seven Princes were leaving, the sixteen Xuanyi secret guards guarding the emperor's side blocked the way with horizontal swords.

Seeing this, Su Huaixiao mocked: "Why, the emperor won't even let go of his own son, right?" ”

The emperor glanced at the two sons-in-law who died tragically, and then looked deeply at the stubborn seven princes.

"Pray, you have been smart and polite since you were a child, and over the years, you have guarded the frontier and made many military achievements. If it weren't for the two concubines from the queen in front of you, I would have liked to make you the crown prince. ”

An Yueli couldn't help but roll her eyes, and complained to the man next to her in a low voice.

"I'm starting to draw flatbread again."

Sure enough, immediately after that, I saw the emperor spread his arms and put on a fatherly expression.

"Qizhi, I will make you the prince now, and then write your name on the edict of succession, as long as you clean up the thief of Su Huaixiao for Gu, how about it?"

There is no prince who does not want to be an emperor, even if the seventh prince is not a biological mother and has been bullied by the two princes since he was a child, he will quietly indulge his ambitions in the dead of night.

But at this moment, when Su Qizhi faced his father who killed the king and killed his father and usurped the throne, he only felt that everything was so ridiculous.

"Father."

"Your Highness the Seven!"

Song Hanxiao grabbed his hand tightly before the other party responded, and the worry and pleading in his eyes were almost overflowing.

"Your Highness, don't."

Don't promise the other party, and don't get bogged down in the swasm of power.

The Seventh Prince's throat rolled, and he looked at his beloved woman and shook his head slightly. The next second, he looked at the emperor again, and resolutely refused.

"Erchen is not filial, he just wants to live a flat life with a smile. In contrast, the imperial brother is more suitable for inheriting the throne than his sons in terms of bloodline and ability, and he also asked his father to set things right and return the throne to the imperial brother. ”

"Rubbish!"

Almost at the same time as his words fell, the emperor scolded.

"I don't dare to fight for the great opportunity in front of you, if it's really something that can't be put on the table, it's the same as your biological mother of that small family!"

The Seventh Prince accepted the emperor's insults in its entirety, but clenched his fists when he heard what he said about his mother.

"Mother has a gentle personality and abides by her duties, she doesn't want to compete with others for favor, that's her open-mindedness, not cowardice as you think!"

While refuting the emperor, the Seventh Prince recalled that when he was a child, he was pushed into the lake by the two princes in the harem and almost drowned.

When he dragged his soaked and tired body back to his mother, in addition to hugging him and crying, his mother taught him not to be resentful, not to humiliate others at will because of power, and not to do anything to pursue power.

To be a man, to be virtuous, upright.

The Seventh Prince closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his whole temperament sank.

"Father, although the world is not black and white, this time it is indeed your mistake. This world should have been the emperor's brother, you have occupied the throne for more than ten years, it's time to return it to him. ”

After saying this, the Seventh Prince silently dragged Song Hanxiao behind him and prepared for battle.

The Emperor's eyelids twitched, and he snorted in disappointment and annoyance.

"Well, since you don't know what is good or bad, and you have to be in the same league with this thief, then I can only endure the pain and eradicate you together. Even without you, I still have three sons......"

As soon as he said this, the emperor suddenly felt a mouthful of fishy sweetness welling up in his throat. He staggered back half a step, clutching his chest and gasping violently.

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The Xuanyi secret guard nervously held the person steady, and at the same time aimed the tip of the knife at Shu Huaixiao and An Yueli and his party more vigilantly.

The emperor endured the strong stuffy pain in his chest and stared at An Yueli.

"You poisoned me? No, although I have passed you into the palace, I have not had any contact with you. ”

An Yueli shook her head and sighed faintly.

"As Prince Xiao said just now, the person who killed the three princes was not us, but Your Majesty himself."

She said as she pulled out a thumb-sized porcelain vase from her sleeve, containing a clear liquid.

"This is called Soul Rejuvenation Water, which is the latest great tonic developed by Su Shen Yi, which can forcibly arouse the last life of the dying in a short period of time.

When the emperor summoned me, he was only thinking about how to force me to frame Prince Xiao in tomorrow's rituals, and he didn't notice that when I was checking your pulse, he quietly dripped this potion on your sleeve. ”

The emperor still didn't understand, "What does this have to do with the death of the third child!?" ”

"This potion is extremely domineering, once it encounters a drug that is compatible with it, it will form two opposing medicinal properties in the body of the person in contact."

An Yueli said and pointed to the third prince who vomited blood and died, "I agreed with Doctor Su on the way to the palace that once we found that the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince had the intention of coercion and threatening, we would put these two mutually restraining drugs on each other.

It's a pity that it was not the crown prince who released malice to Doctor Su, but the Third Highness. The emperor had contact with the Third Highness just now, and the two medicinal properties conflicted, and the Third Highness would naturally die violently. ”

An Yueli paused for a moment and blinked innocently.

"As for why the Third Highness died in front of the emperor, it is probably because the courtiers are cowardly and cowardly, and in order to prevent the emperor from seeing through the plan, they only dare to drip a small amount of medicine on your sleeve.

But over time, it's time for the potion to do its job. ”

After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.

"You poisonous woman! Kill her, kill them! ”

Bang ——!

A loud bang was heard, and the heavy doors of the temple were broken and fell one after another.

Outside the palace gate, hundreds of black-armored soldiers had gathered at some point, and they were aiming their weapons at the emperor with great momentum.

Jiang Chen, who was in the lead, also changed into a military uniform and stepped forward together with Vice General Liu, who commanded the army.

"The Dragon and Tiger Army see Lord Xiao!"

Xuanyi's eyes were shattered, and he immediately tightened the encirclement, protecting the emperor behind him.

"It's the Dragon Tiger Army! Without the emperor's order, how could they enter the palace quietly? ”

"Oh no, we're surrounded."

"Escort the emperor away!"

Also puzzled was the emperor, in order to wipe out the dream, he not only sent a large number of Praetorian Guards into the palace in advance, but also specially ordered the city gate to be blocked.

Even if Su Huaixiao had the ability to reach the sky, it was impossible to send such an army into the palace quietly.

Unless......

Just as he was thinking, the neatly aligned army was divided into two columns, and a familiar figure slowly approached.

"Queen Mother!"
