Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

"Swish" the third prince put his sword against Emperor Jian'an's neck. The calmness on Emperor Jian'an's face could no longer be maintained. He was shocked, angry and afraid.

"Father, why don't you write?" The third prince's eyes turned red, and they were full of violent and bloodthirsty light. "You can't write with these hands? How about cutting them off?"

"Oh, by the way, if you can't cut it off, then chop off your feet, little by little until you are willing to write."

The third prince has longed for this position for many years, and now his wish is finally realized. He is anxious and excited, and his patience is gradually disappearing.

Emperor Jian'an widened his eyes in disbelief. How could he have such a bloodthirsty and cruel son?

The third prince looked at the soldiers next to him, and two soldiers immediately stepped forward and grabbed Emperor Jian'an tightly.

Emperor Jian'an struggled angrily: "Stop! How dare you! I am the emperor!"

The third prince looked at him with disgust, then swung his sword down, and Emperor Jian'an let out a terrible scream.

The Third Prince felt extremely happy as he watched the blood pouring out: "Father, can you issue an order now?"

Emperor Jian'an felt a sharp pain in his feet and his breathing trembled. He looked up at the person in front of him with fear in his eyes.

If it were the young Emperor Jian'an, he might have mustered up the courage to commit suicide. However, the current Emperor Jian'an has been practicing Taoism for many years and has hardly exercised. His body is weak and his will is also weak.

The prime minister who was hiding in the army stood up and said, "Your Highness, you shouldn't do this kind of thing yourself."

After all, the Great Xia Kingdom advocates filial piety, and such behavior would inevitably cause controversy if it were to become known.

The Third Prince suppressed his dissatisfaction and said reluctantly: "The Prime Minister is right."

Emperor Jian'an, who was being held by soldiers and writing, suddenly looked up: "Prime Minister?! It's you? You actually betrayed me!"

The Prime Minister bowed, still respectful and elegant.

The Third Prince gritted his teeth and said, "Father, you may not know yet, but the Prime Minister has been on your side for a long time."

The surging emotions of Emperor Jian'an at that moment overwhelmed the severe pain in his foot. He laughed loudly: "You, good, you all betrayed me!"

The Third Prince handed the long sword in his hand to the soldier beside him: "Take it. If you don't give the order, I will strike you with a sword in the blink of an eye (ten seconds)."

As he said this, he looked at Emperor Jian'an and said, "Father, please think twice."

The soldiers were counting on the side, and Emperor Jian'an had big drops of sweat running down his temples. The time was soon up, and the soldiers raised their swords.

"Wait!" Emperor Jian'an shouted.

The soldiers stopped and everyone turned their eyes to Emperor Jian'an.

"If I write it, will you let me live?" Emperor Jian'an said in a dry voice, "Look, if you ascend the throne and I am still alive, the world values ​​filial piety, and you will be more popular than you are now."

He tried hard to ignore the contemptuous looks around him. He practiced hard just to live a longer life. He just wanted to live. What was wrong with him?

The third prince looked at him mockingly, thinking that this high and mighty man was just like this, but he still nodded in agreement.

Let’s keep him calm first. As for what will happen in the future, who knows?

Emperor Jian'an endured the pain and wrote the imperial edict with trembling hands. Just as he stamped the imperial seal on it, the third prince snatched it away, laughing wildly.

Emperor Jian'an forced a smile and said, "I have already written the imperial edict. Can you please summon the imperial physician?"

The third prince looked at him coldly and said, "Just wait." Then he turned and left.

Emperor Jian'an looked at the scene in panic: "You..."

"Report~" A soldier hurried in and interrupted Emperor Jian'an.

Everyone turned their eyes to the palace gate.

"Your Highness, we did not find the Crown Prince, the Eighth Prince, the Consort Shu and the Imperial Consort in the other palace." The soldier's face was heavy and his voice was urgent.

"What?" The third prince and the prime minister said at the same time. They looked at each other and had a strong, ominous premonition in their hearts.

Emperor Jian'an raised his eyes, with a glimmer of hope in them.

"Prime Minister, my eighth and sixth brothers are missing. What does this mean?" The third prince looked at the prime minister.

The Prime Minister pondered and quickly made a decision: "Third Prince, you must send someone to find the two princes. If..., I'm afraid there will be more trouble."

"Come here, take the emperor away and send more people to guard him. Everyone else, follow me." The third prince ordered.

The orderly voices gradually faded away. Emperor Jian'an leaned back in the dragon throne, praying for a miracle in his heart. Soon he was dragged away without any respect.

Emperor Jian'an wailed, his eyes full of resentment.

Many ministers and their families were imprisoned in the prison cells of the other palace. The cells were tightly guarded by people in black. These people were disguised as the Third Prince's men.

These ministers are unwilling to compromise or intend to wait and see.

The third prince did not intend to kill them. After all, these people were an important part of maintaining the operation of the Great Xia Kingdom. To put it simply, if they all died, wouldn't there be no one to use after he ascended the throne?

He put these people in jail, on the one hand to make them face the reality and voluntarily come to him, and on the other hand to wear down their sharpness and fighting spirit.

Finally, he appeared before them as a savior and won their favor. He had power, and he would not be afraid even if someone saw through his lies.

The Third Prince personally led people to search the other palaces, but still could not find the Crown Prince and the Eighth Prince. He became anxious.

When he saw the Zhaixing Tower from afar, he stopped and asked: "Have you searched there?"

The soldiers paused, then said, "No."

The focus of their search was on the bedrooms of the two princes, and to explore whether there were any secret passages in the bedrooms. The Zhaixing Tower was too far away from the main palace, and they had not searched there yet.

The third prince led his group forward.

As soon as they arrived at the Zhaixing Tower, everyone realized something was wrong. Several guards fell to the ground downstairs of the tower, and it looked like they had been killed by a single knife.

From the scars, we can tell that the man was very skillful in martial arts.

The third prince looked at the tall building in front of him and led a group of people towards it.

The Prime Minister frowned and said, "Your Highness, these people are just lying here. The murderer is a little too arrogant. Don't go up to them yet. Be careful of fraud."

The Third Prince stopped and said, "You guys go up, I'm waiting for you here, report anything immediately! Do you understand?"

The soldiers who were pointed out said so, and then they quickly went up to the tall building.

The Third Prince and his entourage waited in the Zhaixing Tower for only a cup of tea when another soldier came running over in a hurry.

The Third Prince's heart skipped a beat and the Prime Minister's expression darkened.

"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince is leading his men to attack from outside the palace!"
