The emperor was in a coma, and the sixth prince was acting as the representative of the government. This sudden change caught the officials by surprise.

In fact, many officials had doubts in their hearts, but when they thought of the three brothers and sisters Xiao Moren and Daozi who were kidnapped two days ago, and whether the emperor would wake up, everyone chose to keep silent.

After the Sixth Prince began to act as the representative of the government, except for the first two days of allowing the royal clan and ministers to enter the palace to see the emperor, after that, he refused everyone's visit on the grounds that the emperor should not be disturbed when he was recovering.

"It makes no sense, Concubine Shu and Brother Sixth Emperor are clearly putting the father and emperor under house arrest."

"Fourth brother, you can't ignore this."

The Seventh Prince and others who were disgusted with Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince were naturally unwilling to watch the Sixth Prince sit on the throne.

Several older imperial brothers were imprisoned, and now the fourth prince is the eldest.

The fourth prince looked at his younger brothers with exhaustion on his face: "I will go to the palace tomorrow to see if I can go to Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor."

The Seventh Prince and others knew that the Fourth Prince had been looking for Xiao Moren for the past two days, and also knew that the Fourth Prince's Mansion did not have much power, but at this time they urgently needed a leader.

In this way, even if something went wrong, someone would stand in front, so everyone deliberately ignored the blue eyes of the fourth prince.

"Brother Four Emperors, you won't be able to see Emperor Father like this. You have to call all the ministers, so that Brother Six Emperors will be afraid and let you see Emperor Father."

The fourth prince glanced at the seventh prince and rubbed his temples without speaking.

The seven princes still wanted to persuade them, but at this moment, the maid hurriedly came to report: "My lord, it's not good, the princess has vomited blood again, go and see the princess."

The fourth prince stood up abruptly, his body swayed because he got up too suddenly, and then he hurried to the backyard without caring about the number of the seventh prince.

Seeing that the fourth prince left them directly and left, the seventh prince did not look very good, but they were not easy to catch up. After waiting for a while, seeing that the fourth prince had never come to see them, he could only leave angrily.

backyard.

The fourth prince personally fed the fourth prince concubine to drink medicine, and the fourth prince concubine looked pale, but it was far less serious than vomiting blood.

"Your Highness, Rong'er"

The fourth prince shook the fourth prince's concubine's hand and gave her a reassuring look, but his words were vague: "Ring'er will be fine."

The fourth prince and concubine's eyes lit up. Seeing that the fourth prince was unwilling to say more, he hesitated for a while, but didn't ask any more.

When the maid said that the seventh prince had left, the fourth prince got up and left.

Back in the study, the fourth prince was sitting in front of the book desk, looking out the window in a daze, thinking of the scene of encountering Xiao Yeyang when he chased out of the city gate two days ago.

Although Xiao Yeyang didn't say anything, the look in his eyes at the time made him understand immediately that Mo Ren and Daozi were all right.

It was also at that moment that some of the doubts lingering in my heart were instantly resolved.

The father's body is better than his, how could he fall ill all at once?

The father emperor is someone who can even deal with the eighth king and the Jiang family. How could he have followed the path of Concubine Shu and Lao Liu?

The father is waiting for Concubine Shu and Lao Liu to make moves!

The fourth prince picked up his hand mirror and looked at his current appearance. He looked haggard and tired. Well, it fits the image of a worried old father and worried son.

Since the father wanted to act, he would accompany him.

Royal Palace.

"Did you find it?"

In the emperor's bedroom, after Concubine Shu and the sixth prince sent Eunuch An away, they searched for the jade seal in the bedroom in person.

Facing the unconscious emperor lying on the dragon bed, the sixth prince could not help but feel nervous, for fear that the emperor would suddenly sit up and ask him what he was doing.

"Mother, no!"

The mother and son searched all over the dormitory, but couldn't find the jade seal.

Concubine Shu frowned: "No, the jade seal should be in the Qianqing Palace, where will the emperor put it?"

Without the jade seal, the imperial decree cannot be issued.

The sixth prince asked anxiously: "Mother, what should I do now?"

Concubine Shu glanced at the sixth prince, and then looked at the emperor on the dragon bed with a condensed expression: "I can't wait any longer, if Xiao Yeyang came back suddenly, he would definitely question the emperor's fainting. At that time, we The plan may turn out to be unexpected.”

The sixth prince breathed for a while: "Mother concubine, what are you going to do?"

Concubine Shu looked at him fixedly: "Now I can only do one thing and another endlessly. As long as the emperor dies, you will be able to take over the throne logically."

The sixth prince's heart tensed, and he looked at Concubine Shu with some horror.

Seeing him sweating profusely, Concubine Shu said with a cold face, "Look at your success. In the past dynasties, whoever sat on the throne has a clean hand? Just say, do you still want the throne?"

The sixth prince was breathing rapidly, his originally swaying mood, when he thought of the supreme imperial power, calmed down little by little, and his eyes became more and more firm.

Desire overcame fear, and the sixth prince suddenly came to the dragon bed in three and two steps, quickly picked up a pillow, and covered it towards the emperor with shaking hands.

Just when the pillow was about to cover the emperor, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp and indifferent eyes shot at the sixth prince like a knife.

The sixth prince was so frightened that he threw the pillow in his hand, and quickly backed away. During the retreat, he stumbled and fell directly to the ground.

Just as Concubine Shu wanted to reprimand the sixth prince, she saw the emperor sitting up struggling with his arms and looking at them with a gloomy face.

"The Emperor"

Concubine Shu's complexion also changed greatly, and her words of panic were unreasonable: "Impossible" she gave such a heavy dose of medicine, the emperor should not wake up.

Looking at the emperor's icy eyes, Concubine Shu knew that if the emperor was not dead, she and the sixth prince would have to die, and she would also affect the family behind her.

Concubine Shu responded quickly and said to the sixth prince, "Quick, the emperor has passed away, so why don't you hurry up and help your father and emperor groom."

In times of life-and-death crisis, people react very quickly.

Even though the sixth prince was frightened, his hands and feet were soft, but after hearing Concubine Shu's words, his frozen mind quickly recovered, even crawling and rolling, picking up the pillow and rushing towards the emperor.

"What are you doing?!"

At this moment, Eunuch An walked in with the fourth prince.

Concubine Shu and the sixth prince gave orders not to allow anyone to approach the Qianqing Palace, so the fourth prince was smuggled in by Eunuch An.

Because they came in secretly, no one notified them, so the fourth prince and Eunuch An witnessed the scene of Concubine Shu and the sixth prince trying to murder the emperor.

The fourth prince didn't even think about it, he flew over directly, beat the sixth prince, and protected the emperor behind him.

Eunuch An also hurried to the emperor's side, looking at Concubine Shu and the sixth prince angrily: "Concubine Shu, the sixth prince, you are so courageous, how dare you kill the emperor!"

The moment she saw the fourth prince and Eunuch An, Concubine Shu knew that it was impossible for the sixth prince to take over the throne. She took off the ring on her finger and blew it on her lips, and a sharp whistle was heard. came out.

The emperor sat up, pushed aside the fourth prince who was blocking him, and looked at Concubine Shu coldly: "What do you want to do?"

At this moment, Concubine Shu is no longer afraid: "Your Majesty, you are too old, and it is time to abdicate and make up for the virtuous."

The emperor sneered and pointed to the sixth prince: "A person who only knows to obey your orders and has no opinion of his own, do you think he is worthy?"

Saying that, he looked at the sixth prince again.

"Lao Liu, I ask you, if I pass the throne to you, do you think you will be able to sit firmly? Can you carry this huge country? Can you manage the officials of the dynasty?"

The sixth prince moved his lips and instinctively looked at Concubine Shu.

The emperor shook his head: "Concubine Shu, I have a lot of sons, and there are many princes who are staring at the throne, but only the third and sixth have committed rebellion. Why is this?"

"The third child has good abilities and is the material of a virtuous king. The sixth child has no opinion, that is, he is the life of a rich and noble prince."

"But now, because of an ambitious mother like you, their lives are over."

Concubine Shu's complexion changed and changed, and her heart began to doubt herself, but when she heard the sound of killing from outside the hall, she regained her composure: "Your Majesty, you are wrong, my two sons will be safe and well. lifetime."

As soon as the words fell, a group of dead men rushed in.

With a wave of Concubine Shu's hand, the dead men rushed towards the emperor, the fourth prince, and Eunuch An.

The emperor calmly pressed the switch on the bed, and immediately, the secret room behind the dragon bed was opened, and the guards who had been in ambush inside rushed out in a rush, fighting with the dead.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of Concubine Shu and the sixth prince fell to the bottom.

It didn't take long for the dead soldiers to be beheaded by the guards before they even touched the corner of the emperor's shirt.

The shouting and killing outside the hall also gradually weakened.

Concubine Shu knew that the situation was over, and she and the sixth prince were escorted to the emperor with ashen faces.

Looking at the pale emperor, Concubine Shu suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, you deliberately let me do it, deliberately let me frame the eldest prince and the others, right?"

Seeing that the emperor did not deny it, Concubine Shu laughed loudly. At this moment, she understood everything. The emperor already knew what she had done, but he deliberately led her to this point.

"The emperor is such a kind father!"

Concubine Shu looked at the emperor crying and laughing: "You know that the first prince, the second prince, and the fifth prince are all spying on your throne, but you don't want to kill your own son, so let me frame them. This will confine them."

"In this way, it can save their lives and their hearts. But why, they are your sons, aren't the third and sixth? Why are you so partial?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu expressionlessly: "The cooperation between the third child and the Jiang family violated our bottom line. I didn't kill him, you should be grateful, as for the sixth."

"Why do you keep making trouble with you? That's because I haven't figured out how to deal with the sixth prince." As he spoke, he looked at the sixth prince in disappointment.

"Unfortunately, for the sake of the throne, Lao Liu even managed to get his own father!"

Concubine Shu looked at the emperor with a sneer: "Your Majesty, don't say some high-sounding words here, you just want to use my hand to get rid of those who are unfaithful to you."

She could imagine that all the soldiers who were attached to them outside had been killed, right?

Thinking that she was only a chess piece in the hands of the emperor, thinking that her family would be implicated and beheaded by the Manchus, and thinking that her two sons would not survive, Concubine Shu's heart was full of anger, and she swept aside the saber on the dead man's body, rushed up and grabbed it. To stab at the emperor.

"emperor!"

"Father, be careful!"

"呲~"

The sound of the blade piercing the body sounded.

Xiao Yeyang rushed over from outside and saw Concubine Shu holding a knife and stabbing the fourth prince who was standing in front of the emperor.
