Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn
Chapter 518 Seeking power and usurping the throne
The door of Tongleguan was closed.
Looking at the door from the street, I felt that it was a little unusual. It seemed to be quieter inside than usual, and there was an inexplicable sense of death.
In Tongle Hall, soldiers holding sharp weapons were standing upstairs and downstairs, in the front and back yards.
Just as the person was dragged to the hall, someone came in from the back door as if he knew the place well.
Gao Yu was slightly surprised and frowned to look, and found that they were a few trusted officials in the court.
They came so suddenly that the Tibetans had no time to hide.
Gao Qian was exposed in front of several people.
Suddenly seeing the emperor, several people were horrified and almost collapsed to the ground, fearing that the emperor had discovered their clique. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the emperor was tied up with hemp ropes...
"Your Majesty... Your Highness, this, this..."
Several people had ugly expressions and were speechless. They looked at Prince Guangping in front of them, then at the Emperor behind them, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Gao Qian raised his eyes and glanced coldly at the person who came. He pursed his lips tightly but said nothing.
Seeing this, Gao Yi waved his hand and ordered people to take Gao Qian to the backyard first.
After they left, he asked, "Why did you come here so suddenly? What's the matter?"
Several people were stunned for a moment, and exchanged glances in astonishment: "Didn't His Highness send someone to call us here?"
Gao Yi frowned, but didn't ask the question yet.
Several people were trembling with fear, their eyes kept glancing towards the backyard: "Why did your highness capture the master? This is too, too dangerous, too risky! Once the matter is exposed, I am afraid-"
Seeing how frightened they were, Gao Yi couldn't help but sneer, "Why are you afraid? Now, everyone in Jinye City who knows that he is back has been arrested and imprisoned. No one would have thought that the emperor was trapped in Tongle Pavilion.
Instead of being afraid, why don't you help me think of a way to pry open his mouth! If we can get the imperial seal today, we will succeed."
The day of success?
Several people were shocked and suspicious, with uncertain expressions.
They have always done their work in secret.
But they were not informed in advance of such a dangerous incident today.
Could it be that His Highness was afraid that they would go back on their word, so he deliberately exposed them in front of the Emperor, cutting off their escape route and making them completely tied to the same rope?
Several people thought over and over again, whether it was true or not, there was no chance to regret.
The emperor must die now, otherwise, they will be the ones to die after walking out of this door!
Now that things have come to this, the few of them can only go ahead with it.
After making up their minds, they suppressed their worries, calmed down, and immediately discussed how to deploy in the city and what to do afterward...
After listening to the suggestions of several people and finalizing everything, Gao Yi felt reassured and immediately let them do their own things.
When Gao Yi went to the backyard again, his steps became lighter.
He stared at the tied man in the open space with a smile in his eyes.
While waiting for Gao Yi, someone had searched Gao Qian carefully. However, apart from a butterfly embroidered bag with blood stains, no other items were found, so they had to step aside with their heads down.
Gao Yi glanced at the embroidered bag that was presented to her, and there was nothing inside except a hair bundle.
He brushed it away in frustration, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he took two steps closer to Gao Qian: "Tell me! Where did you hide the thing?"
Gao Qian didn't look at him, but stared at the butterfly embroidered bag thrown on the ground. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes full of mockery: "If you have the ability, go find it yourself."
Gao Yu's expression changed, filled with hatred. He raised his hand and was about to chop at the man's face. When the sword was almost about to touch the man, he reluctantly withdrew his hand.
He gritted his teeth, shook his head and smiled, while stroking the sword in his hand that was shining with cold light, he spoke in a sinister voice.
"Brother, I advise you to think it over carefully. If you hand over your things now, I can still spare you from physical pain, or lock you up and spare your life. Otherwise--"
Gao Yi smiled and looked around. Everyone in the Tongle Pavilion had a look of fear on their faces. They all knelt on the ground, hunched their necks, and looked over here with fear and curiosity.
"Then I will have no choice but to let you be humiliated in public."
He raised his lips and smiled faintly, and Gao Qian immediately felt a piercing pain in his left arm.
The glaring blood oozed out instantly, and strings of blood beads dripped onto the ground, soon forming a pool of blood.
Gao Yi glanced at him coldly, smacking his lips and occasionally hitting the exposed flesh with his sword.
Gao Qian narrowed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and said nothing, but his slightly trembling body and dense cold sweat revealed the actual pain and unbearableness he was feeling.
Seeing how forbearing he was, Gao Yi smiled: "Royal brother, you don't have to be forbearing. There will be some new people coming to the Tongle Hall soon. Just keep shouting. Even if passers-by hear it, at most they will think you are disciplining some unruly new prostitute, hahahaha..."
Trampling and insulting to the utmost.
Gao Qian sneered and ignored him.
Gao Yi's face was distorted by his anger, and he smiled sinisterly: "I know you have had headaches since childhood and can endure the pain very well, so——"
He tilted his head, and someone immediately came up with a small cloth bag, grabbed a handful and sprinkled it on the wound.
The sharp stinging and burning sensation almost made me faint.
Gao Qian's lips turned pale, his whole body was shaking in pain, and sweat was pouring down.
Gao Yu smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you tell me? This is just the beginning—"
As he spoke, he raised his sword again, but before he could cut it, someone came running in in a panic, pointed at the front yard, and said with trembling lips: "Your Highness, your Highness, it's not good!"
Gao Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and before he could open his mouth, the person blocking the backyard door was kicked away.
He had just taken a step when the man rushed into the backyard with his men in a menacing manner.
"Gao Yi, how dare you act so foolishly!"
A roar, full of energy.
When he saw the appearance of the kidnapped person, his body shook and he became so angry that his eyes turned black.
Gao Yi was startled: "Mother, Queen Mother."
When they suddenly saw the Queen Mother, everyone present was shocked and knelt down in haste.
The Queen Mother pointed at Gao Yi angrily and gnashed her teeth: "Look at what you have done, you rebellious son!"
She was wearing a gorgeous golden brocade robe and was dressed elegantly. However, at this moment, she did not look as dignified and graceful as before. The hairpin flowers on her head trembled slightly as her chest rose and fell. The look in her eyes as she glared at him made it seem as if she wanted to kill him with a knife right away.
"Release the emperor!"
She shouted so loudly that everyone present trembled in shock.
The eunuchs who came with the empress dowager hurried forward to untie the emperor.
Gao Yi quickly came to his senses from his panic and immediately shouted, "Wait!"
The Queen Mother stared at the sword pointed at her neck in disbelief and said in a deep voice: "Gao Yi, are you trying to kill your mother and brother and usurp the throne?"
Gao Yi's hand holding the sword trembled slightly: "Even if I was plotting to usurp the throne, I was forced to do so by you!"
He took a deep breath and said, "It's obvious that both he and I are your children, but you have always been biased towards him. You would rather support this sickly person to ascend the throne than support me. Today I will show you that even without you, I can still ascend the throne!"
