Late at night, the old emperor stood in front of the window, staring at the orchids in full bloom outside with deep eyes.

A carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed on the windowsill, with a roll of paper tied to its feet.

Why is there still a message at this time?

The old emperor frowned slightly, took down the paper tube and unfolded the letter paper.

"The Third Prince is forcing the emperor to abdicate, return quickly!"

Half an hour later, a carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the palace.

The palace was brightly lit, but deep within the walls were palaces and gardens shrouded in shadows. Guards held swords and watched over the palace gates.

Seeing the carriage stop, the leading guard trotted to a stop in front of the carriage and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the man has been caught."

"Okay, open the gate."

A hand holding a token opened the curtain, and an old man's voice came faintly from inside the carriage.

The guard nodded and gestured to open the city gate.

With a dull creaking sound, the tall and heavy vermilion palace gate slowly opened. The coachman cracked his whip, the horse sneezed, and clattered into the palace gate with its hooves.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was in a mess, with blood everywhere. Countless guards lay on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

The culprit of the coup was being pinned to the ground by the imperial guards, his hair disheveled and looking extremely miserable.

"Let me go! You are so bold as to offend me!"

The Third Prince kept struggling and shouting, his bloodshot eyes fiercely glaring at the leader of the Imperial Guards in front of him, threatening: "Let me go, or I'll make you pay!"

If it were an ordinary person, he might really be afraid of him, but Song Changqing crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, so how could he be afraid of a spoiled prince?

He placed one hand on the sword, casually blew the bangs covering his eyes, and said in a cold tone:

"Your Highness, please behave yourself."

If he led troops to force the emperor to abdicate, even if he was a prince, he would not have a good ending.

The Third Prince had never been treated so lightly before. His face immediately turned red, his eyes widened, and he cursed:

"What's your attitude? How dare you talk to me like that? Believe it or not, I will chop you down!"

"Who are you going to kill?!"

A majestic voice came from behind. The old emperor didn't even have time to change his dragon robe. He was still wearing the same shorts he wore when he met Miaomiao today. If you ignore the imposing aura emanating from the old emperor, he looks just like an ordinary old man.

When the third prince, who had been clamoring continuously, saw who was coming, he suddenly became like a duck with its throat pinched. He stammered for a long time but couldn't make any sound.

"Why don't you say anything? Weren't you cursing very hard just now?"

When the old emperor saw the cowardly look of the Third Prince, he became angry and couldn't help but kick him.

This beast, who doesn't even have the courage to castrate himself, is trying to learn how to force others to abdicate.

The third prince wanted to dodge, but his body was held down by the imperial guards, so he could not dodge and could only take the kick hard.

"Coward!"

After kicking the man, the old emperor couldn't help but curse.

"If you can really hold on after doing it, I will respect you as a man."

Now, although the job was done, he felt ashamed of doing it in such a cowardly way.

The Third Prince was so depressed after being scolded by the old emperor that he shut himself up. He couldn't help but ask angrily, "Father, why do you always treat me like this? Am I really that unbearable?"

"Father, Jun Yuan has been deposed. Why can't you just look at me? I have waited for so many years, and finally waited for you to depose the crown prince. It is time for me to take the crown prince's position."

"Why is it that the prince is born as the prince, while I can only dream of that position?"

"If you had not been unwilling to make up your mind to make your son the crown prince, how could your son have taken such a risky move and forced the emperor to take the throne?"

……

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. The Third Prince no longer cared about what he should say or not. His attempt to force the emperor to abdicate had already failed, and he would not have a good ending anyway. So, why not just say whatever he wanted to say.

"Your Highness the Third Prince!" Someone spoke up to remind the Third Prince.

The third prince was startled and saw the old emperor's increasingly deep eyes. He shut his mouth silently and looked very honest. However, whether this honesty was real or fake remained to be verified.

The old emperor sneered: "Don't remind him, let him reflect on himself."

With a son like this, he might as well give birth to a piece of barbecued pork.

"For so many years, I have treated you well, but how did you treat me?"

As he spoke, the old emperor looked around the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony now has lost all its former grandeur and is now in a mess.

The old emperor knew at a glance that this was all the work of his third son, and he couldn't help but raise his leg to hit the third prince again.

This bastard, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the hard work of several generations, and it was destroyed by this brat.

Instead of doing serious work, he just does irrelevant things.

"Send the third prince to the Nether Palace and never let him leave it for the rest of his life."

The old emperor gave the order in a cold voice.

The Phantom Palace?!

That’s not where Jun Yuan was imprisoned.

The Third Prince was unwilling to enter the palace, and tried to excuse himself in a panic:

"Is that a place for people? Father, father, I am your only talented son. My eldest brother has been abandoned, my second brother concentrates on calligraphy and painting, and my fifth and sixth brothers are still young and can't stand on their own. I am the only one you can rely on!"

Little did he know that his words made the old emperor even angrier.

Is he threatening me?

Without him, is it possible that I won't be able to find an heir?

"Why don't you drag him away!"

"Father, father..."

The person had been dragged out, but the sound was still there, making the listener feel very annoyed.

"Come out."

After sending everyone away, the old emperor bent his waist and spoke in a dull tone to the screen beside him.

The man has a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and exudes a calm and composed aura.

"Yan Qi, did you see everything?"

Lu Yanqi: “I saw it.”

"Don't you have anything to say?" The old emperor was not very satisfied with Lu Yanqi's attitude.

"I have nothing much to say." Lu Yanqi still had that cold look on his face.

"Come back, the court needs you."

"No, I have no such plan."

"I know you still blame me, but wasn't it for your own good that I did that? Can't you just let it go?"

The old emperor became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Although the Third Brother is a nobody just now, his evaluation of his brothers is indeed similar. Together with himself, they are all useless. Do you want me to hand over the world to such a person?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanqi lowered his eyes, his expression unmoved.

There is indeed something wrong with what his father said, but... so what? This is not something that a mere shopkeeper like him can control.

Lu Yanqi has made up his mind and doesn't plan to get involved anymore.

The old emperor knew from Lu Yanqi's expression that he couldn't persuade him today. He exhaled heavily and changed the subject unhappily: "Where's Miaomiao? You won't leave her alone at home, will you?"
