"What's the matter?" the prince asked guiltily.

The second prince looked at the emperor, a hint of sarcasm on his embarrassed face.

"You are... the prince, or..."

The prince was startled, then shouted, "What do you want to say?"

"Second brother, I have treated you well these years. If you plead guilty, father will give you a lighter sentence because of your good attitude."

The second prince lowered his head and laughed twice.

"A lenient sentence?"

"Is it a white silk or a cup of poisoned wine?"

Since we are going to die anyway, it is better to die quickly and not so... painful.

The emperor said: "Second Prince, your mother has been murdered. Don't worry, I will bury you and your mother together."

The second prince looked up suddenly, "My mother is dead?"

"Yes, she was killed by the plague in the cold palace. When she died, she applied her favorite rouge."

He emphasized the word "rouge".

If the Second Prince knew, he would definitely think of it.

Only the Queen knew the rouge that her mother liked when she was alive, and such fine rouge could only be bought outside the palace.

Now that he has left, my mother can't ask anyone else to buy it.

There is only one possibility, Queen!

There was a hint of hatred in his eyes as he looked towards the prince.

He really shouldn't have worked for such a person like his mother did all these years!

"Thank you, Father."

"Prince, my mother was loyal to the Queen, but I never expected that she would die at the hands of your mother."

"Since your mother is so cruel, I will no longer care about you."

As he said this, he kowtowed to the emperor.

"Father, I know the Crown Prince's secret. He... is not your son at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's brows were filled with murderous intent, a raging fire was burning in his heart, and his eyes were sinister and frightening.

"You...what did you say?"

The second prince pointed at the crown prince viciously:

"He is the son of the Queen and the Grand Marshal. He is not yours at all."

"My mother used to be close to the Empress, and once she overheard a conversation between the Empress and the Grand Commandant."

The prince clenched his fists tightly.

"You are lying. I am the emperor's son. Don't slander me."

"Whether it is father's or not, we can know it by blood test?" The second prince lowered his eyes, then raised them again, "If you hadn't wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have said this."

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being selfish. I did so much for you, but in the end, I almost died in your hands."

"You secretly asked the general to buy the salt. Later, the matter was exposed and the general died. That's when Lingyun Kingdom came to you."

"Then you couldn't sell it, so you asked me to sell it for you."

"Do you remember?"

The prince growled, "Shut up, I never did it, you did it yourself."

"Second brother, I have been very kind to you over the years and have never thought of killing you. I am already the crown prince, why would I want to kill you?"

"Because you are afraid that the fact that you are not your father's son will be exposed, you can only rest assured if you inherit the throne as soon as possible!"

"At first, Lu Shiwan arranged a marriage for you, but you disliked her ugliness and wanted to use this to annoy Prince Qi. Relying on your father's love for you, you persuaded your father to arrange a marriage for Prince Qi."

"Later, when you saw Prince Qi and her getting engaged, and rising rapidly to prominence and being praised by your father, you regretted it again and again, and tried to make things a fait accompli."

"What a pity, hahaha, the sky doesn't go as you wish."

The emperor shouted, "Come here, arrest the second prince and the crown prince for me!"

The prince looked at the emperor in shock and trembled, "Father, how could you..."

"If you don't want others to know, then don't be the one who knows."

After hearing this, the prince's eyes sparked with ferocity.

"Father, you must not listen to slander."

He Weichi raised his hand, and several soldiers walked towards the second prince and the crown prince.

The second prince was imprisoned by the soldiers, laughing crazily: "Hahaha, Mo Yanjin, no matter how bad I am, I am still the son of the emperor, and you are not even of royal blood."

"You asked for this..." The second prince's laughter disappeared in the distance.

The prince's scarlet eyes rolled wildly, and then he dodged and pressed against the emperor's neck.

The surrounding guards and soldiers were so frightened that they all drew their swords.

"Put down your weapons, or I will kill him!"

He Weichi said: "Stop it, Prince, do you know that you are killing the king? This is a capital crime!"

"I'm going to die anyway, why don't I give it a try?" The prince said with a sinister smile, "Everyone around my father has evil intentions. I'm just one step faster than them. What's wrong with that?"

"If you put down your swords, I can still leave my father's body intact. If you take one more step, I will die with you and will never give up!"

"Put down your swords and retreat!" he roared.

The emperor stretched out his hand and waved towards He Weichi.

He Wei Chi immediately dropped his weapon, and all the soldiers behind him dropped their weapons and retreated one by one.

The emperor said, "Prince, I have been very kind to you over the years, but I never thought you would dare to kill the emperor."

"You forced me to do this. If you hadn't had someone arrest me today, I would never have done that."

"But you are suspicious and believed what my second brother said, so don't blame me for being cruel."

"If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth."

"Yun Han, come here!"

Yun Han then said to him respectfully, "Second Prince."

"Have our people arrived?"

"Replying to the prince, they are already here, in the outer hall."

The prince's eyes flashed, "Very good, you come over and hold back this dog emperor, I will go and kill those people!"

"Yes."

Yun Han exchanged positions with the prince and then put the sword to the emperor's neck.

The second prince swung his sword, and the surrounding soldiers retreated again and again, making way for him.

He Weichi was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to move forward rashly.

The prince walked out of the crowd and saw through the palace gate a large group of people in armor slowly walking towards the outer hall.

He sneered a little.

"Hahaha, if you submit to me, I can still spare you."

"Otherwise, I will tear you into pieces!"

"Don't even think about it!" He Wei Chi said angrily.

The prince laughed loudly and ignored him, standing there, waiting for his men to come to his support.

Thanks to Yun Han, I was able to prepare myself in advance just in case.

When the people approached, the prince said domineeringly: "Take down all these people for me!"

"Yes!" The soldiers on the opposite side said in unison, and then walked to the prince.

The prince laughed heartily, as if he saw himself ascending the throne.

next second.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, several soldiers standing in front of the prince grabbed his arms and put their swords against his neck.

The prince couldn't move, his eyes were wide open, full of shock.

"You...you..."
