Chapter 696 Regicide

Long Pingyang "died", and King Anling went to the fiefdom. Although the impeachment of Zhao Xian ended without any resolution, the emperor still used this as an excuse to let the eighth prince reflect. Since then, the calls for the dismissal of the crown prince have become louder and louder. , the eighth prince became panicked all day long.

On this day, the fifth prince Long Yeli arrived at the Guangping Palace again. This time Feng Qingchen did not let him practice as a sparring partner, but asked him to study with the third prince.

This news reached the prince's palace and became the last straw for the eighth prince.

"Mother Concubine..." The Eighth Prince ruffled his hair and rushed into Concubine De's bedroom.

Concubine De was dressing up. Today was the Queen Mother's birthday and she was going to congratulate her. When she looked up and saw the Eighth Prince's behavior, she quickly stood up, stepped forward and slapped him twice.

The eighth prince suddenly turned from anxious to dull-eyed. He knelt down in front of Concubine De and said, "Concubine, it's my son who is incompetent. I want to disappoint my concubine!"

Concubine De retreated and closed the doors and windows tightly. She paced back and forth in the room three times before she calmed down her inner anger.

Her son has lost his mind, and she must calm down, otherwise there is only death waiting for their mother and son!

"Get up!" Concubine De stepped forward and pulled the eighth prince up from the ground, "What's wrong with you? It's just some rumors, and that's all you do? How will you sit in that seat in the future? That seat There’s more to face!”

Although the eighth prince was a head taller than Concubine De, he was so shrunken when he was standing in front of Concubine De. He looked at Concubine De with dull eyes and cried: "Concubine, I can't bear it. Come on, even the teacher was impeached by them. I couldn't sleep at all these nights. When I closed my eyes, all I dreamed about was that my father wanted to depose me as the crown prince! My mother and concubine, and now even the emperor's uncle began to support it. Now that I am the fifth child, what can I do to rob him?"

Concubine De stepped forward and held his arm tightly: "What should we do? No matter how difficult it is, you have to hold on, endure it, and don't let others find fault. Even if your father wants to depose you, he still needs a reason. Isn’t it?”

The Eighth Prince's body was almost leaning against Concubine De's body. He shook his head: "Even a strict and self-disciplined person like a teacher can make people find mistakes, let alone a son and minister? Concubine, I am really too scared, I... "

The Eighth Prince slipped to the ground. He lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, and his whole person had completely lost his fighting spirit.

Concubine De looked at such a son and was filled with regret. Back then, in order to please the emperor, she was a gentle and sensible concubine. Before the fifth prince could show off, she always made her child endure and develop his cowardly character. In the past four years, even if the fifth prince was imprisoned, he was still I cannot assume the position of prince in front of the emperor!

Now seeing that the fifth prince was trying to restore his power, her son couldn't stand it anymore. The fear of being deposed had completely controlled his heart. She knew that if this continued, he would be deposed sooner or later!

Concubine De clenched her hands and stepped forward to help her only son: "Lan'er, don't be afraid, I will help you for my mother's sake!"

Long Yelan raised his eyes and looked at Concubine De with a frustrated face, help him, how to help him?

"As long as that person dies, you can ascend the throne!" Concubine De said this with difficulty.

Long Yelan's eyes suddenly widened, "What does the mother-in-law mean...regicide?"

Concubine De's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "This is the only way. Now that he is dead, you can successfully ascend the throne. If in the future..."

Concubine De didn't say any more, but Long Yelan soon understood that this was his only chance to ascend to that position!
