Chapter 221 Blood in the Imperial Garden
The voice was still as full of energy as that day in the Purple Palace, but Chen Huai heard a kind of care from an elder in it. He felt a little uncomfortable and frowned slightly:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see you if I come earlier"
This made Rong Zhaolin raise his eyebrows, and a hint of smile appeared in his eyes: "You are quite courageous, but do you still blame your father for sending you to the palace?"
Chen Huai glanced at the guards under the bridge and saw that they did not react when they heard this. He understood in his heart. No wonder Rong Zhaolin dared to say it so blatantly. It turned out that all these people were his people.
Chen Huai didn't want to say too much and expose himself, so he could only say: "I dare not."
He didn't call him father, but there was an inexplicable stubbornness in his words, which made Rong Zhaolin sigh in his heart. He raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to pat Chen Huai's shoulder, but it fell down again in a moment:
"I know you blame me, but it will all be over soon"
When Chen Huai heard the word "end", he panicked and looked up at him: "What on earth did the emperor..."
Before he finished speaking, Rong Zhaolin raised his hand to interrupt him and said coldly:
"From now on, you don't have to worry about these things. Don't forget your identity. The emperor's abdication edict will be announced to the world tomorrow. If you break into the palace again before then, don't blame me for locking you up."
Chen Huai wanted to say something else, but he saw ministers coming into the Imperial Garden to attend the dinner one after another, and Rong Zhaolin also walked towards the seat at the head.
Except Wei Chen, all other ministers had arrived. Because the emperor was seriously ill, no one smiled. They all sat upright in their seats. I wonder what Prince Yong'an meant?
It was not until Rong Zhaolin sat down at the head of the table, glanced at the officials below, and raised his thin lips:
"Everyone, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The emperor is seriously ill, so this banquet shouldn't be held, but..."
Censor Yan Zheng was impatient and stood up immediately: "Prince Yong'an, please tell me quickly, is the emperor ill?"
Rong Zhaolin nodded solemnly:
"That's right. I want to use tonight's dinner to cheer up His Majesty the Emperor. Maybe it will really be helpful."
After hearing this, the ministers looked at each other in surprise. Is the emperor already so seriously ill?
The cabinet scholar stood up, somewhat indignantly:
"Your Majesty, you have been preventing us from seeing the emperor, saying that you were afraid of affecting the emperor's condition. You even locked up Prime Minister Wei because of this. Isn't this too much?"
Some officials echoed the words, while others remained silent. Rong Zhaolin took in all of this. At this time, the Minister of Personnel stood up and said,
"Grand Secretary, what you said is wrong. The prince did that for the emperor's sake. Besides, now that Prime Minister Wei has calmed down, he has been released. Aren't you wronging the prince by saying this?"
Another official stood up and bowed to Rong Zhaolin, then said to the crowd:
"The emperor is in poor health now. Your Highness is the head of the royal family. I think this wedding is a bit desperate. Please make plans early."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Zheng was the first to speak angrily: "What do you mean, are you cursing His Majesty?"
The man glanced at Rong Zhaolin and straightened his back:
"Master Yan, please do not act on impulse. I naturally hope that His Majesty the Emperor is in good health, but this is a matter of state and country. You don't want the chaos of the Five Kings to happen again, do you?"
When it comes to the Rebellion of the Five Kings, it was because the succession was not appointed early, which left behind disasters. The five kings fought for the throne and caused chaos in the world, which led to the demise of the previous dynasty.
Many officials immediately stood up and saluted: "We also think that we should make plans early."
No matter how hard Yan Zheng and several ministers tried, they could not prevail over the majority. When they saw Rong Zhaolin's lips raised, they understood in their hearts that this was not a wedding dinner at all, but a test for them to have a chance to ascend the throne legitimately.
Damn it, why didn’t I see the evil ambition of Prince Yong’an earlier?
Rong Zhaolin saw that the situation was almost over, a smug look flashed in his eyes, and he stood up and walked to the front:
"In this case, I can only listen to everyone's opinions..."
At this moment, a cough was heard outside the Imperial Garden. "It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the ministers have gathered here. It is thoughtful of you."
The moment Chen Huaiwai heard it, he stood up, with a hint of ecstasy flashing in the depths of his eyes. Everyone, including Rong Zhaolin, looked at Rong Cheng who was walking towards them in shock.
He was wearing a crescent-white robe embroidered with a golden dragon, and he was tall and slender. Although his face was pale, it did not diminish the majesty of a king that he exuded.
Yan Zheng and the others' eyes were red, and in an instant everyone in the Imperial Garden knelt down and said in unison:
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor!"
Rong Cheng walked to the center of the table, raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced coldly at Rong Zhaolin who was kneeling beside him:
"My dear ministers, please stand up. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, so there is no need to be formal."
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
Everyone stood up, and Yan Zheng looked at Rong Cheng excitedly: "Your Majesty, your holy health is a blessing to all the people."
Rong Cheng sat where Rong Zhaolin had just sat, and seeing the resentment and resentment in his eyes, he curled his lips slightly:
"This is all thanks to Prince Yong'an's wedding. Without this dinner tonight, I might not have woken up so soon."
These words clearly implied Rong Zhaolin's rebellious intentions. Even the Minister of Personnel and others who had just stood on Rong Zhaolin's side lowered their heads, fearing that they would be implicated by the emperor.
Rong Zhaolin clenched his palms, looked at Rong Cheng with a fake smile and said:
"Your Majesty, please don't be too careless. You should know that there is a phrase called - last gasp of light."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Yan Zheng pointed at Rong Zhaolin and shouted angrily: "Prince Yong'an, you are going to rebel!"
Rong Zhaolin snorted coldly, and suddenly a group of guards with swords rushed in from outside the imperial garden and surrounded the place. The steel swords glowed coldly, and the ministers were frightened and turned their eyes to their backbone.
Rong Cheng remained calm and looked at Rong Zhaolin coldly:
"Uncle, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you doing this to the late emperor?"
Hearing this, Prince Yong'an smiled strangely and shook his head as if he found it absurd:
"Oh... Late Emperor, well, it's time to meet him. Your Majesty, please move and go to the ancestral temple with me."
After that, Rong Zhaolin ordered the guards behind him: "Keep an eye on all of them. If anyone does something wrong, kill them without mercy."
"Yes"
Rong Zhaolin looked confident of victory, looked at Chen Huai and said loudly:
"Huai'er, come here, the emperor is not feeling well, you support him"
This intimacy of Huai'er shocked all the civil and military officials, especially Yan Zheng, who looked at him angrily:
"Well, you dog eunuch, it turns out that you are in Cao's camp but your heart is with Han. Your loyalty to the emperor is totally fake."
Rong Zhaolin frowned, snatched the knife from the guard beside him and threw it at him, hitting him in the chest. Blood trickled all over the ground. Yan Zheng fell to the ground, without a sound.
