Eunuch Shi quickly held him up.

"Your Majesty, you have just woken up, please be careful."

Jiang Mingyue was not aware of Emperor Jing's past and was somewhat confused. Those who knew the inside story could not help but open their mouths wide.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the hall.

Before Eunuch Shi could send someone to ask, someone came in to report:

"Your Majesty, the Five Emperors are bringing a large number of soldiers and are trying to break into the palace!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked. What was going on?

Emperor Jing was much calmer than everyone else. Although his face was livid, he did not seem too surprised.

He tried to push himself up, but found that he couldn't.

Eunuch Shi quickly lifted his upper body.

Emperor Jing shook his head and said:

"Duke, please go and take a look."

Sima Ji took the order and Jiang Mingyue followed him out.

At this time, fighting had already started outside the palace!

Jiang Mingyue took a look and saw that it was indeed the Five Emperors' Princesses who were leading the group, followed by a large number of armored soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Guards, who were fighting with the guards on duty.

"stop!"

Duke Zhan Guo shouted loudly, and everyone stopped at the same time.

"Fifth Prince, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to rebel?"

The Five Emperors said:

"I am the heir appointed by my father, how can I say I am rebelling? Duke, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! Once I ascend the throne, you will still be the Duke of Dajing. Don't forget who you should be loyal to!"

Duke Zhan sneered.

"Crown Prince? His Majesty has not announced it, right? And His Majesty is still alive, isn't it too early for you to say this? Putting this aside, you dared to use force in front of His Majesty. No matter who you are, you are plotting a rebellion!"

The Fifth Emperor looked at Jiang Mingyue hatefully. If this woman hadn't accidentally saved Emperor Jing's life, why would she need to take this step?

"I am here to purge the emperor's entourage! I suspect this bitch has drugged my father, intending to manipulate his will and plot against the country!"

"What nonsense!"

Sima Ji was furious, "Do you think that because you are the emperor's princess, you can frame others and do whatever you want?"

He took a quick step and arrived in front of the Fifth Emperor Princess, ready to capture her first. He was not afraid of offending her.

Wudi Ji had been on guard for a long time and retreated in a hurry, shouting at the same time:

"King Nanhou! Why don't you come out?"

Jiang Mingyue was surprised to see a middle-aged fat man running towards this side with dozens of men in black.

But she was not panicked at all. She had already fought against demigods before. What kind of threat could a mere Fifth Emperor, King Ji Nanhou, pose?

She has witnessed the fall of two princes, and this time there might be another one.

Sima Ji glared:

"You actually colluded with the princes!"

Nanhou Wang's fat face was covered with a smile.

"Please don't say that, Duke. I am loyal to you! The Fifth Princess will soon become the noble Emperor. It is my duty to eliminate evil and uphold justice. I cannot bear the blame for nothing."

"Bright words!"

Sima Ji said, "With just the people like you, I'm afraid you can't withstand my attack!"

King Nanhou waved his hands repeatedly.

"Don't do that! Your Excellency, please look, what are they holding? Thunder bombs! Each person has several. If they throw them all out, you don't want to see the consequences, do you?"

Sima Ji frowned.

Jiang Mingyue also saw that these men in black were all holding black round balls in their hands. These things were thunder bombs. They were filled with gunpowder and would explode everywhere when thrown out. If so many people acted together, it would be unlikely for the third uncle to intercept them all.

Although the power of these thunderbolts was not too great and they might not hit anyone, what if the house collapsed? Emperor Jing was still inside and was extremely weak, so he could not stand the torture.

Sima Ji gave him a look.

Jiang Mingyue understood that she should go in first and put Emperor Jing into the space at the critical moment.

Before she could move, footsteps were heard from the inner room. Eunuch Shi and Changfeng actually carried Emperor Jing out with his bed.

When the King of Nanhou saw it, he was greatly surprised and immediately paid homage:

"My little prince pays respect to His Majesty."

Emperor Jing had heard the quarrel outside, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. With the help of Eunuch Shi, he sat up and looked at the Five Emperors.

"You can't wait even a moment?"

Emperor Jing's words were very calm. It could be that he really had no strength, or it could be that he was too sad. Jiang Mingyue looked over and felt that both possibilities were possible. At this moment, Emperor Jing's heart was definitely not at peace.

Wudiji was a little panicked at first, but soon calmed down and said:

"Father, I'm just worried that something might happen to you. I don't mean anything else."

A smile uglier than crying appeared on Emperor Jing's face.

"Worry, cough cough..."

He suddenly started to cough dryly, as if he was choked by something, and Eunuch Shi quickly patted his back to help him calm down.

It took a while for Emperor Jing to catch his breath.

"Are you worried that you won't be able to sit on the throne? I'm telling you right now, you'll never be able to sit on this position!"

Wudiji's face changed drastically, and she said in a sharp voice:

"What did you say? Are you confused? I am the only heir to Jing Kingdom now! Who else but me? Do you still want to choose those who are already married?"

Emperor Jing sighed softly.

"You don't have to worry about that. I know that you have wasted your youth for the throne without ever thinking of getting married. As long as you immediately disband your subordinates and return to the palace, I will forgive you for the past. You will still be the princess and you can marry the person you like. How do you do that?"

Wudiji jumped up and said loudly:

"You are really confused! Why should I withdraw? Did that bitch Mingyue collude with her third uncle to give you a drug? My Lords, I seriously suspect that there is something wrong with these two people! Their current power is unmatched. They must have drugged my father or coerced him! Otherwise, why don't they even want to be the crown prince? Isn't this going to sever the country of Jing?"

Not far outside the hall, the ministers looked at each other.

But the people in the hall naturally wouldn't believe her.

Emperor Jing laughed.

"I didn't expect you to be so eloquent. Since you don't want to withdraw, let's settle the accounts. You were the one who put the needle in the back of my head, right?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and uproared.

The Fifth Princess's face also changed drastically, and she said in a sharp voice:

"What did you say?! Why would I do such a thing? If you are confused, stop talking nonsense!"

Emperor Jing started to cough again.

Eunuch Shi quickly calmed him down and said worriedly:

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a rest for a while?"

Emperor Jing shook his head.

"My body, I know it."

After the coughing stopped, he continued:

"You probably don't know that although I was in a coma at the time, it was because my body was too weak. In fact, I could still hear sounds."

Wudiji's expression changed again, and she said anxiously:

"I didn't! I didn't do it. You heard it wrong..."

Although she was eager to explain herself, she didn't know what to say for a moment. The current situation was obviously beyond her expectations, and she had to think about it.

But when some elderly people saw this kind of behavior, they already understood what was going on.

"This is really a sin!"

The old men shook their heads, but they didn't know what to say. After all, this was the only heir. If they abolished her, would the Jing Dynasty really come to an end?

Emperor Jing continued to speak, his voice full of sorrow.

"You are almost the heir recognized by all the ministers, yet you still do this cruel thing! I don't know why. Can you explain it to me?"

Wudiji turned around and looked around. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with suspicion, she gritted her teeth and said loudly:

"Don't you think about how old I am now? How many years of youth do I have to waste? Since you are in a coma, why don't you just stay in a coma? Why do you want to wake up? If you do this, many people will be very disappointed!"

Emperor Jing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His originally pale and haggard face turned red and he was unable to speak for a while. People couldn't help but worry about how long he could hold on.

Wudiji's eyes lit up and she continued:

"You have been sitting on the throne for decades. You should have stepped down long ago! How come you don't have any self-awareness? If you abdicate now, you can still earn some gratitude. You can sit on the throne for a few more years. No, even if you sit on the throne for a few more days, I'm afraid many people will curse you in secret! An old man who refuses to die is a thief. Haven't you heard this saying?"

Eunuch Shi was furious:

"Shut up!"

Emperor Jing started coughing violently, and this time blood splattered all over the ground, and everyone exclaimed.

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said with difficulty:

"Take her!"

The imperial guards and the royal guards surrounded them.

But there were also many imperial guards around the Five Emperors. To avoid unnecessary casualties, Duke Zhan Guo said loudly:

"Everyone! His Majesty has already issued an order. You are all to surrender immediately. Do not make mistakes!"

Wudi Ji was anxious and said loudly:

"I am the crown prince! His Majesty is old and his time is coming to an end. I am the only heir to the throne! You should obey my orders. His Majesty is confused now. Don't listen to him!"

She looked at the Nanhou King beside her.

"Lord Nanhou! At this point, you are still undecided. Do you have any other choice?"

At this time, Prince Nanhou was indeed hesitant. He did not expect that Emperor Jing had actually woken up. If he continued to follow the Five Emperors' Princesses, wouldn't that be treason?

But when he saw that Emperor Jing was about to die at any moment, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Fifth Prince, you must promise me in front of all the ministers that you will not hold me responsible for this matter afterwards!"

Wudi Ji immediately said:

"You helped me today, which is a great achievement. How can I hold you responsible? Okay, I swear that I will never hold you responsible for what you did today, and I will also reward you handsomely!"
