Shen Ruzhou was dispensing medicine in the pharmacy when his right eye twitched inexplicably, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

She was hesitating whether to send a message to Qin Ming to ask, when she heard a little palace maid outside exclaimed, "Look, there is so much smoke over there."

The others heard and looked in the direction of her finger, only to see the fire in the distance and the billowing smoke drifting far away.

Shen Ruzhou looked up, her heart beating faster and faster. She secretly screamed something bad and hurriedly left the Taihe Palace through the side door.

Before she arrived at the mansion where the fire broke out, she had already learned from passers-by that it was Taifu Pang's family who escaped.

If something happens to Taifu Pang, the edict of passing the throne will definitely not be preserved.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruzhou did not dare to delay any longer, and trotted forward to see what was going on.

Suddenly, a hand from the crowd of onlookers reached out and held her arm. She turned around in surprise and saw Qin Ming, and immediately followed him to a deserted alley.

Qin Ming let go of Shen Ruzhou and handed over his hands to plead guilty.

"Miss Shen, my subordinates are incompetent and failed to protect Tai Fu Pang."

Shen Ruzhou saw that his face was pale and he was not walking very neatly. He knew that he must have been seriously injured, so he helped him sit down in the corner. While treating his wounds, Shen Ruzhou asked, "What happened?"

Qin Ming leaned against the wall, looked up at the sky full of fire, and said with difficulty: "Just now, Xiao Chenyan led people to kill Taifu Pang's family, found the edict of passing the throne, and then burned Pang's mansion."

Sure enough, just like in the previous life, Emperor Yong'an's plan was discovered and resolved by Xiao Chenyan.

After all, it was too late to say anything. Shen Ruzhou made a quick decision and said to Qin Ming: "Go out of the city to see the prince immediately and ask him to prepare for the worst."

If the situation is completely out of control, raising troops is the only option.

Qin Ming did not agree immediately, but asked hesitantly: "Miss Shen, won't you go with your subordinates?"

"I want to go back to the Shen family. Don't worry, I have a way to protect myself." Shen Ruzhou hurriedly confessed and rushed to the general's mansion.

Unfortunately, he came back at the wrong time. His father and brother were not at home when they were inspecting the military camp outside. Shen Ruzhou had no choice but to tell Shen Rulan: "Sister Rulan, no matter what the prince wants to do, please ask father and brother not to resist and obey his orders."

Although Shen Rulan was puzzled, seeing Shen Ruzhou's serious face, she still nodded vigorously in agreement.

Shen Ruzhou saw the confusion in her eyes, but he didn't have time to explain to her right now, so he had to solemnly tell her again, "Tell your father and brother to remember that you must not disobey Xiao Chenyan. This is the only way to protect our Shen family." ”

After saying that, Shen Ruzhou hurried back to the palace without staying any longer.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, the dusk drum sounded, and the heavy palace door closed heavily with a muffled sound. The inside and outside of the palace were completely isolated.

Many officers and soldiers poured out from nowhere and surrounded the Taihe Palace. Shen Ruzhou and many palace people were ordered to stay in the side hall and were not allowed to leave.

Seeing soldiers walking by outside, Shen Ruzhou's heart seemed to fall into an abyss. Can he still not escape the fate of his previous life?

Emperor Yong'an looked at Xiao Chenyan who suddenly appeared in his palace, with disbelief on his face. Didn't he already put this evil son under house arrest in the imperial mausoleum?

Seeing the other party's shocked expression, Xiao Chenyan's eyebrows showed a proud look.

"Father must be asking, why am I back? Father, you don't think that Yan Wu and those idiots can put me under house arrest, right?"

"You, are you going to rebel?" Emperor Yong'an was shocked and pointed at Xiao Chenyan's uncontrollable trembling hand.

"Rebellion? I am the prince. It is natural for me to take over the throne after my father's death. How can I talk about rebellion?" Xiao Chenyan smiled even more crazily, as if he suddenly thought of something. He reached into his arms with his right hand, then took out a bright yellow imperial edict, slowly unfolded it and began to read.

"Xiao Chenyan was born as a maid in the palace. She has a low status, a bad character, and bad moral conduct. She is not worthy of inheriting the throne..."

Every time he read a word, he felt like he had been cut with a knife, his body was covered in bruises, and the pain penetrated to his bones.

"Father, I have worked hard for so long, but it turns out that you feel so unbearable."

Xiao Chenyan laughed to himself, then raised his hand and threw the edict into the brazier.

The fire burned the edict of passing the throne to ashes bit by bit, and Emperor Yong'an's face showed a look of despair. Two of his secret moves were eliminated by Xiao Chenyan, and now he can no longer resist.

Using the last bit of strength in his body, Emperor Yong'an slapped Xiao Chenyan hard, "Why did I raise such a wolf-hearted beast like you?!"

Xiao Chenyan raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he let out murderous intent.

He turned his head and glanced at Dr. Chu. Dr. Chu immediately understood and brought a bowl of medicine over.

Emperor Yong'an looked at the dark bowl of medicine and said with a sense of loneliness: "I don't have long to live, are you so impatient to wait?"

"It's going to be a long night and a lot of dreams. It's better for my father to die as soon as possible."

Xiao Chenyan's tone was cold and without any warmth. All his feelings for his father disappeared the moment he saw the edict of succession.
