Seeing that Haoxing Xiaoqi was finally willing to bow his head and submit, everyone's hearts were secretly relieved, and the tense situation suddenly eased.

Xue Youyou glanced at Zhu Mo, who was still expressionless, and silently retreated.

But at this moment, someone suddenly came outside the palace gate to report that Song Xingye, the Marquis of Jingyuan, sent someone to pass on the message, and there were 100,000 urgent matters to be reported to His Majesty the Emperor immediately.

This time, not only Haoxing Xiaoqi was surprised, but even everyone present was surprised.

The capital is already under the full control of the Song father and son, what kind of emergency situation will suddenly arise, and it is necessary to immediately present His Majesty the Emperor who is about to abdicate?

The messenger was soon called in, and it turned out to be a palace eunuch.

As soon as the inner eunuch saw the emperor, he immediately fell to his knees like chaff and began to cry.

"Your Majesty...... They...... are all ...... Killed!"

When Haoxing Xiaoqi heard this, his face changed, and he scolded sharply: "It's just nonsense! I'm obviously sitting here in a dignified manner, are you a dog slave cursing me?!"

The inner eunuch was stunned by the scolding, and snorted twice with his mouth open, before he choked up again: "The slave should die! What the slave said is that the prince and the princes ...... They were all killed......"

"You say—what?!"

Hao Xingxiao jumped up from the dragon chair when he stood up, and pointed at the inner supervisor who reported the news, but his lips trembled and he couldn't speak anymore.

"Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly vomited blood shortly after lunch, and before the imperial doctor in the palace arrived, he lost his breath......"

The inner eunuch continued to choke up and tell the truth of the matter, "Who knows, just when the imperial doctor has not yet found out the cause of His Royal Highness the Prince's death, there is also bad news in other palaces, the sixth prince, the eighth prince and the ninth prince...... They all suddenly vomited blood and died.

Later, the imperial doctor finally found out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princes were poisoned and died. And the poison in them is extremely rare, it should come from Miao Jiang.

Marquis Jingyuan immediately sent people to close the palaces where the accident occurred, and as a result, he caught a palace maid who tried to escape.

According to the palace maid's confession, she was indeed a demon of the Tianxiang Sect, and the queen arranged for her to enter the palace a few months ago, and was specifically responsible for monitoring the movements of several princes.

Not long ago, the queen ordered a message from the prison to send her a message to poison all the princes, including the crown prince. So, she ......"

Haoxing Xiaoqi had been standing there in a daze, his eyes fixed on the inner prisoner who was kneeling on the ground, as if he didn't understand what he was saying at all.

The inner eunuch was stared at by the emperor so that his hair stood on end, and after barely telling what happened, he lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head again.

Everyone present was speechless with the tragic news.

The emperor Haoxing Xiaoqi has a total of nine princes under his knees.

Among them, the third, fourth and fifth princes were all killed during the rebellion of King Huai fifteen years ago, and the second prince King Huai also committed suicide due to unsuccessful rebellion.

The remaining four underage princes, including the crown prince, were all poisoned by Empress Yan today. And the youngest of them, the Nine Emperor Princes, should not be even ten years old.

Just because they were born in the emperor's family, these princes all died prematurely and became victims of that cold throne.

At this time, a whimper came from Hao Xingxiaoqi's trembling lips—

His entire body suddenly collapsed on the ground.

Zhu Mo hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the emperor's weak body, and helped him back on the dragon chair.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Tianjue couldn't help but shake his head and let out a deep sigh, "I didn't expect that Empress Yan to be such a vicious person!"

Haoxing Mingrui also sighed and said, "This Empress Yan is so unsparing, it should be to save her own son. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of his words.

King Ji raised troops to rebel this time, but it ended in failure.

The Yan family was also affected, and it was inevitable that they would be wiped out.

Empress Yan, who was trapped in the prison, naturally knew very well that she was powerless to return to heaven.

However, in order to save her son's life, she still chose to take a desperate gamble.

Killing those underage princes left the elderly emperor without any hope.

In this way, the emperor will not be so decisive when dealing with the rebellious King Ji.

After all, now King Ji is the only remaining son of the emperor. After killing King Ji, the Haoxing royal family has no successor from then on.

No matter how much the emperor hates King Ji, even if he doesn't miss the love of father and son at all, what other choices can he make for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji?

Empress Yan's desperate move really caught the emperor's sore spot, although it was extremely cruel, but it was also extremely subtle.

Haoxing Xiaoqi's eyes slowly welled up with two lines of turbid tears.

At this time, what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking in his heart, no one could really guess.

Everyone was silent. Only Master Huinian recited the scriptures in a low voice, which should be for the princes who died early.

When Master Huinian stopped chanting, Haoxing Xiaoqi also put away his tears, and sighed in a dumb voice: "The destiny of heaven cannot be violated, I know that I am wrong!"

He slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Tianjue, laughed miserably, and said, "You have no queen, I have no queen, when you and my brother go to see the emperor, no one needs to sue anyone!"

Although Xiao Tianjue still had a grudge against this imperial elder brother, seeing him fall into such a miserable state now, he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity.

"Don't you really plan to leave a way for King Ji to survive ——,?"

A look of hatred flashed on Haoxing Xiaoqi's face, "The Yan family, ruining my Haoxing clan's country, I can't let anyone go!"

After that, he looked at Haoxing Mingrui and said word by word: "No matter who the new monarch finally chooses by the Protector Divine Pillar, before I abdicate, the Yan clan must be personally disposed of by me!"

Haoxing Mingrui also knew that he couldn't let go of the Yan family, otherwise these people would definitely become a stumbling block to the new dynasty in the future. However, seeing the extremely deep resentment in the emperor's eyes, he couldn't help but feel very worried about the upcoming river of blood.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Your Majesty knows the pain of losing a child, and you should remember the heart of being a parent." Although the Yan clan has committed a great crime, they only need to eliminate the first evil, especially for those men who have not yet reached adulthood, and they should not be innocently affected like those princes who died tragically. ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi didn't speak for a long time, only his half-clenched hands were shaking constantly.

After a long time, he finally nodded reluctantly and said, "I know." ”

Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but sigh secretly, Queen Yan's desperate gamble not only failed to keep her son, but aroused the emperor's revenge. For the sake of that cold throne, there is such a deep grudge between husband and wife, father and son!
