I give the princess a sip

The author has something to say: Spoiler ahead: Today, Aliante!Don't!handsome!

Hearing Qiao Mingyu's voice, the drowsy emperor moved his fingertips slightly, obviously still conscious.

The third prince stepped aside a little so that Qiao Mingyu could come to the bed.

Gu Lian's status is embarrassing, but she is a little at a loss standing here.Fortunately, she had no reverence for imperial power, so she quietly found a corner to stay.

The third prince nodded at her, pointed to the tables and chairs, and signaled her to sit down when she was tired from standing.

Gu Lian glanced at the three princes standing at the head of the bed, Qiao Mingyu who was half kneeling in front of the bed, and the little princes who were kneeling on the ground. After thinking about it, she sat down.

She is not the emperor's daughter, why should she follow her.

The old emperor is an emperor who loves his daughter, but he is also a qualified emperor.These days, Lingsu, who has awakened the system, loves to chat with Gu Lian and share a lot of secret news.For example, the empress's mother's family was powerful back then, so the emperor allowed the concubine to kill the empress to suppress the descendants. Later, he felt guilty and punished the concubine severely.

By the way, that concubine is the mother concubine of the sixth prince, and the sixth prince...

Gu Lian looked down at the pattern on the teacup on the table.

The first time I went to live in the princess' mansion, the reason was that a man in black appeared in the mansion and tried to kidnap her.That person left a token with the word "Qi" written on it. At the beginning, Su Dan said that someone might blame King Qi, the fourth prince, and Gu Lian thought so too.Later, the man in black was taken for interrogation, and with the help of Gu Lian's Gu, he failed to kill himself, and couldn't bear the torture, so he recruited everything.

The mastermind behind the scenes is the sixth prince.

Now apart from the third prince, the ministers support the fourth prince and the eldest prince.However, the eldest prince is a rough old man, with a noble background but he doesn't care about the throne.His mother and concubine are the late imperial concubine, but the mother's family has long been confiscated and sent to the frontier for committing crimes.The Eldest Prince is also impatient with these fights for power, if not for his wife's family's unwillingness to keep courting courtiers, in fact the throne has nothing to do with him.

The fourth prince is the only son of the imperial concubine. Because his mother's family is prosperous and his concubine's status is high, he has always been pretentious.It is normal for him to want to participate in the battle for the throne, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this man has no talent for governing the country. The only few major errands he did were either failed or had no merit. The emperor didn't take him seriously at all.If it wasn't for the fact that the fourth prince was crowned king but the third prince was not, perhaps not so many ministers responded to the fourth prince.

And the sixth prince is the one who hides relatively deeply.When no one noticed, the sixth prince's wings had gradually grown, and he was almost able to compete with the eldest prince and the fourth prince.However, it was of no use. A failed kidnapping plan exposed him. The third prince and the second prince joined forces to deal with him in the court, pulling out many of his nails.

The status of the sixth prince's mother and concubine is actually very low, and she was originally just a court lady.In order to climb up, I can do anything.At the beginning, the emperor favored her just to use her name to suppress those noble concubines, and he would throw it away when it was used up.It's a pity that the sixth prince didn't know that the mastermind behind it was the emperor, and only believed that his mother and concubine were killed by the third prince, so he had to work hard to grab the throne and trample the third prince under his feet.

Gu Lian slowly smoothed out the folds on the dress, it was time for the two of them to come.He listened carefully, and sure enough there was a conversation outside.

Before anyone came in, Gu Lian got up and hid behind the big vase.

She didn't want to salute those two, so she avoided it temporarily, presumably they were "worried about the father" and didn't have time to look around.

Soon, the remaining princes came in.

Four, five, six, seven and four princes came in, the fifth prince was honest and honest, and the seventh prince was timid and fearful. The two looked worriedly at the emperor lying on the bed.The Seventh Prince quietly moved back, for fear that a fight between the brothers who seized the throne would affect him, an innocent person.The fifth prince is very sad, he is afraid that he is the only prince here who treats the emperor as his father.

"Royal Father." Before the fourth prince could say anything, the fifth prince let out a howl, rushed forward to push the eldest brother and second brother away, grabbed the emperor's hand and began to cry loudly.

"..." The third prince didn't look at him, and silently turned his head away.

The worried expression on the fourth prince's face froze, almost failing, and his whole body was so angry that it was about to smoke.

The eldest prince and the second prince didn't care, they gave him his seat and stood beside him.

"Old Seven." The Eldest Prince Zhuang Chao waved to the Seventh Prince, "Come and see Father, and talk to Father."

The eldest son of the Seventh Prince moved over unwillingly, and said a few words to the emperor, to the effect that he would get better soon, and the sons firmly believed that he would be fine as the real dragon emperor.I didn't believe what I said, and everyone didn't take it seriously.

After he finished speaking, King Zhuang dragged him to the side, away from the place of right and wrong.

The Seventh Prince breathed a sigh of relief, it should be the safest to be with Zhichangzi's elder brother.

The fifth prince was out of breath from crying, which made Qiao Mingyu helpless.She was the only princess here, and it was hard for her to run away after finishing speaking, so she silently moved to the side, using her brother's body to block herself.

Seeing that the fifth prince was about to cry endlessly, the fourth prince walked over with a stiff expression: "Don't cry, father will be fine, or do you really want father to have an accident?"

These words were really heartbreaking, and the fifth prince's crying sound was immediately blocked in his throat.He turned his head and stared at the fourth prince angrily: "Fourth brother, as long as you don't feel sad, how can you still speak sarcastic words!"

"I..." The fourth prince was beaten up, and immediately fell down angrily.

If he meets other people, he can still choke back with a smile on his face, but when he meets the honest and honest fifth child, he can't help it.To put it bluntly, Lao Wu is dull and honest, but to put it bluntly, he is stupid and filial. He doesn't think about whether it will be bad for him when he speaks, and says what he has.

"Cough cough cough."

When the two brothers were arguing, the emperor suddenly coughed violently, probably because he was angry.

He was so sick that these sons still wanted to quarrel.Forget it, the fifth child has always been heartless, and the fourth child is absolutely uneasy and kind.

Maybe it was because of his anger, or because of the flashback, the old emperor suddenly opened his eyes, and slowly glanced at the dozen or so sons.

The fourth prince rolled his eyes with some guilt, while the sixth prince simply lowered his head.

"I... really... gave birth to some good sons! Cough cough cough!"

The head eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to relieve him: "Your Majesty, drink some tea and take a breath, don't get so angry."

The old emperor took a deep look at the boss, and Zhuang Wang looked back at him without showing any weakness, his eyes were open and frank, which satisfied the old emperor a little, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.Finally, there is another sensible one, fortunately.

"Father, you will be fine." The emperor's eyes skipped over the second prince, who had no sense of presence, and came to the third prince. The third prince calmly said what everyone had said thousands of times, with a respectful attitude, but his tone was understated. , apparently unimpressed.

The emperor wanted to be furious for a moment, but suddenly he met Qiao Mingyu, who was protruding from behind the third prince. In those eyes, which resembled his wife, he saw the scene when he let his wife be killed for the sake of imperial power in his early years .At that time, he lay on the hospital bed one after another, and he will never forget the dying eyes in his life.The woman's eyes, which saw through all the truth, forced him to have nothing to hide, and made his conscience uneasy. In the end, he chose to execute the concubine, comforting himself that he had avenged his wife.

But no, the perpetrator is dead, but the accomplice is still alive.

Now, the accomplice is also dying.

The emperor suddenly lost all his strength. He closed his eyes and waved his hands: "Take out the imperial decree."

The fourth prince's body tensed instantly, and the sixth prince almost collapsed.

The emperor wrote the edict to pass on the throne, so it must have nothing to do with the sixth prince who pretended to be transparent for so long.The fourth prince felt that he still had a chance, so he didn't give up.

They wanted to rebel, but with the edict, the rebellion was not justified, not to mention all their forces were kept outside the imperial city.The third prince took control of the imperial guards, except for a few princes, no one else was let in.The matter of the fourth prince buying the imperial guards has been fruitless, and he is a fish at the mercy of others in the palace.

Gu Lian slowly walked out from behind the vase, and walked lightly behind the sixth and fourth princes.

No one paid attention to her at the moment, everyone was staring at the chief eunuch's movements.

I saw him take out the brocade box from the dark compartment, and in the brocade box, there was a rolled bright yellow imperial decree.

"Read it." The emperor gasped and said these two words.

The princes knelt down to listen to the edict, and the chief eunuch, with a sullen face, read the edict slowly.The content was nothing beyond expectations. At the beginning, there was a long paragraph, telling the merits and demerits of his reign for many years, while reflecting on himself, while expressing his grudges. In the end, he praised a certain prince and said that he would pass on the throne to this prince.

And this prince is naturally the third prince kneeling at the front.

Everyone knelt down for a long time without getting up.It wasn't until the third prince got up to take the letter of instruction, and Qiao Mingyu suddenly called out to his father in grief, that the others slowly got up.

Just when everyone was paying attention to the emperor on the dragon bed, the sixth prince suddenly jumped up and took out a dagger from his arms.

Gu Lian was kneeling on one knee and got up very fast.She rushed up and kicked the sixth prince's knees, causing his knees to go limp, and he fell to the ground suddenly.

Everyone didn't react at all, they turned their heads in horror when they heard the sound of falling, and saw a petite girl calmly stepped on the back of the sixth prince's neck, bent down and picked up the dagger on the ground.
