Of all the people present, the only one who understood Yong Emperor's whispers as well as the prince was Huang Pei, who had been watching Yong Emperor.
Huguo Temple?
The Holy One told His Highness the Crown Prince to protect the country?
Huang Pei lowered his head when he saw Emperor Yong saying these words. It was obvious that he had reached his limit.
He was so worried that he subconsciously turned to look at the prince. When he saw the shocked expression on the prince's face, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
A few days ago, when the Holy One was still awake, he specially asked him to go to the Huguo Temple and ordered him to destroy the Huiqulaixiyuan with his own hands.
At that time, he thought that His Majesty was finally willing to let go of the Jade Concubine, and he was filled with joy and expectation, so he did not think too much about His Majesty's order.
But at this moment, he finally realized the Holy Sage's intention!
When the Holy One faced the Queen, he had already speculated that whether it was the revelation of the second prince's life experience or the tragic situation in the Protector's Temple, it was all the work of His Highness the Crown Prince.
In this way, as the great eunuch beside the Holy Emperor, he rushed to Huguo Temple when the Holy Emperor was ill. How could His Highness the Prince not care!
Thinking of this, Huang Pei slowly opened his mouth.
The Holy One deliberately let His Highness the Crown Prince see Gui Guilai Xiyuan!
The Holy Sage had already realized that something was wrong with him at that time. Perhaps he was worried that what happened today would happen, and he also knew that the prince was soft-hearted, so he used the opportunity to return to Xiyuan to cut off the last trace of father-son affection that the prince had for him.
Your Majesty... Your Majesty is trying his best to say something to protect the country at this time, just to make His Highness the Crown Prince be ruthless and take action against him!
At this point in his thoughts, Huang Pei trembled all over and his hands and feet became cold. He suddenly turned around and knelt down to the prince. He walked over to him step by step, and then tightly grasped the prince's hem.
He raised his head, his face full of tears, and shouted tremblingly: "Your Highness! Your Highness the Crown Prince! You can't do anything!"
"The Holy One is inherently wrong, but the Holy One is both a king and a father. The Holy One was a young emperor back then and was arrogant. Only then did he fall into the trap of Concubine Jade. After the Holy One wakes up, he is already trying his best to plan every step for you."
"His Royal Highness, you have a benevolent heart and an orthodox background. You will be a blessing to the world in the future and be respected by all people. Please think of a way to save Your Majesty!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Huang Pei shouted loudly and bowed deeply to the ground. His tears couldn't stop dripping on the floor tiles. He was already sobbing.
Whether you call him die-hard Huang Pei or ignorant, when the late emperor assigned him to take care of the Holy Sage, he regarded the Holy Sage as the sky and everything to him Huang Pei!
The prince's hands hidden under his sleeves trembled slightly. Huang Pei could think clearly about things, so why couldn't he see through them?
When he stood on the ruins of Gui Qu Lai Xi's courtyard, his whole body was cold and his blood was coagulated. Thinking of that heartbreaking pain still made him despair.
He didn't dare or couldn't bear to tell his mother about this, let alone the young Xiaosi.
That day when he cut off his robe with a sword, he had completely made up his mind.
But today he found out that his father had lured him to Huguo Temple on purpose, and he had left behind a succession edict as a precaution.
Thinking of this, the prince's heart ached unbearably.
Father, Father, why didn't you wake up earlier? You have brought bitter consequences to your mother, your children, your mistress, and too many innocent people.
Now, are you using your life to teach your sons and ministers the final way of being a king?
I know that you want me to show the iron-blooded skills of a king, kill decisively, and avoid future troubles forever!
That's what happened, what's happened...
Thinking of this, the prince's eyes turned slightly red, and then he slowly raised his right hand.
Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Qiao Zhongguo's arms. When she saw the prince's movements, her heart suddenly jumped!
[Ah, the prince has made up his mind! 】
Qiao Zhongguo looked solemnly, looking at the unconscious Emperor Yong, his mind went up and down several times, and he sighed deeply in his heart.
When Huang Pei saw that the prince was serious about risking Emperor Yong's life, Huang Pei turned pale with fright. He hurriedly hugged the prince's legs and cried in panic: "Your Highness! No!"
The second prince frowned sharply when he saw the prince's actions.
He boasted that he knew the emperor's brother somewhat, and with his temperament, he would never disregard his father's life!
Also, according to the time, the helper should be here, right?
The second prince looked worried, and finally there were footsteps coming from the right side of the palace road.
"what happened?"
"Ah! Your Majesty!"
The footsteps became faster and faster, and everyone turned around to see that hundreds of civil and military officials were arriving without summons, and behind them, a group of "Forest Guards" were following!
The second prince saw this and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and finally exhaled.
Help is coming!
Since he dared to come back this time, he had naturally planned a way out. Otherwise, if things failed, he would be like a tiger's den in the palace. How could he escape?
He knew that this time when he returned to the palace, the emperor's brother would definitely have laid a dragnet against him. The most obvious point was that he could not contact Liu Yun.
Liu Yun was taking care of the Chonghua Palace for him, and he still had the remaining available secret guards in his hands, which would be of great use in today's matter, but without receiving his instructions, Liu Yun would not dare to act rashly.
So he found another way and sent someone to contact Concubine Lin.
Last time, Concubine Lin was implicated in the imperial sister's affair and was banned from the Jinhua Palace, but the exchange of information was not hindered.
Moreover, Concubine Lin has always been favored in the harem for so many years. In addition to using the name of Concubine Lin, she is also naturally capable.
Therefore, he asked someone to deliver the letter to Concubine Lin, explained the reason, and asked her to pass the secret letter to Liu Yun.
And why should Concubine Lin help him? Just by his oath, if he succeeds, he will definitely welcome the emperor's sister out of the palace and make her the noble eldest princess!
He knew that Concubine Lin would definitely agree, because she only had a daughter like the imperial sister.
If the emperor's brother is allowed to ascend the throne, then there is no doubt that the emperor's sister will have to stay in the palace and temple until her death!
Soon, he received a response from Concubine Lin, which was just one sentence: "Bai'er, never break your promise."
At this time, the second prince mobilized his inner strength and immediately raised his voice and shouted:
"Brother Imperial, are you really going to kill your younger brother regardless of your father's life?"
"If this is true, even if you are not the one holding the knife, you can't get rid of the charge of murdering the king and killing the father!"
All civil and military officials hurriedly approached and saw that the person held hostage by the second prince with a knife was none other than Emperor Yong. Their faces turned pale with fear.
This, this, this... what the hell is going on!
Qiao Zhongguo saw Han Mingzhe with sharp eyes, and hurriedly walked towards him, asking quickly: "Old Han, why are you here?"
Seeing that something was wrong, Han Mingzhe hurriedly said: "Master Qiao, a eunuch from the palace came to the mansion to deliver the edict, saying that it was urgently summoned by the Holy One, and there was also a holy edict in hand. I changed into my official uniform and came right away."
"Finally, when I approached the palace gate, the imperial guards led me to Youtian Gate. When I arrived, I found that almost all the officials from the court and the central government were here."
"We were so worried that we didn't know why the Holy Spirit had called us, and we were led all the way to this place."
As Han Mingzhe said that, he saw Qiao Zhongguo's expression getting more and more ugly, and his expression changed accordingly!
"Could it be...could it be that someone is really pretending to pass on the imperial edict?"
Han Mingzhe never saw Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing on the way here, and he felt vaguely that something was wrong.
It’s true that there were urgent summons for civil and military officials before, but why didn’t they go to Chengtian Gate this time, but to Youtian Gate?
But if you think about it carefully, it is unbelievable no matter how you think about it, the Holy Emperor is in his prime, and now his status is stable. Falsely passing on the imperial edict is a major crime against the nine clans.
With such hesitation, they arrived here under the escort of the "Forest Guards", but they did not expect to witness such a shocking scene!
