Chapter 259: The Dust Settles

The third prince Mingyang looked at Mingyao who was talking eloquently, with a haze in his eyes.

There are really such stupid people in this world. They don't want to inherit the throne. That is what many men in the world dream of. They even recommend the fourth child to their father just because the fourth child has always protected him.

The reason he hates himself and tries every possible means to stop him is because he knows that those assassins were all arranged by him.

If I had known that what he said before was true. This old fifth Mingyao really was not interested in the throne. But my father had always been optimistic about him. Why did I have to do so much? I would have thought of ways to please him.

Just like the fourth child, give him whatever he likes. There is no such thing as chasing him.

I really regret it!

The third prince Mingyang glanced at the people surrounding him one by one. He couldn't help but laugh. His voice became louder and louder, and in the end he couldn't stop laughing.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't understand why he was like this. They couldn't help but take two steps back. But the expressions on their faces became more and more wary.

"Is he crazy?"

"Well, eight images."

"Well, the third prince is completely possessed by demons."

"Be careful, these three princes are very cunning, don't be fooled!"

Although the sound was not very loud, it was enough for everyone to hear. Emperor Sheng Yuan looked at his son who was surrounded by desire with a sad expression.

Just when I wanted to take two steps forward, I was blocked in front.

"Father, be careful! Third brother has gone crazy, don't get too close."

After hearing this, Emperor Shengyuan subconsciously took back his steps. He just stood there, silently looking at the third prince Mingyang who was surrounded by everyone.

After a long while, he reprimanded loudly: "You evil beast, you still don't put the sword in your hand!"

The third prince Mingyang looked at the man he called his father with a gloomy look, and suddenly grinned.

"Father, my good father! Since ancient times, winners and losers have always been victors. Haha, do you think I will just let you guys bully me?"

After that, before anyone could react, he stabbed himself in the chest with his backhand sword.

Then, he fell heavily to the ground amid the exclamations of everyone. Blood flowed out instantly.

When Emperor Shengyuan saw this, he was shocked and angry. He hadn't even thought about how to deal with this rebellious third child, but he killed himself so happily.

After all, he is his son after all. How can a person with white hair be so sad when a person with white hair gives birth to a person with black hair?

There was a moment of darkness before his eyes, and the panicked cry of "Father" sounded.

When Emperor Sheng Yuan woke up again, it was already a day later.

During the period when he was unconscious, the fourth prince took on the responsibility of supervising the country. His straightforward methods immediately made the ministers see his abilities and talents.

The fifth prince Mingyao and Princess Yunjin abandoned everything and focused on guarding Emperor Sheng Yuan.

"Jin'er, is there really nothing we can do?"

The fifth prince Mingyao looked at his princess Yun Jin sadly.

"Father has exhausted all his efforts. Even if Daluo Immortal is still alive, there is nothing he can do."

"Then...how much time does Father...have?"

"Well, it only happened in the past few days."

"Why? Jin'er, there's nothing you can do about it?..."

"Father...how can you bear it..."

The news that Emperor Sheng Yuan was critically ill quickly spread in the palace. No one left, even after the palace change. Everyone was exhausted, but in view of Emperor Sheng Yuan's condition, everyone remained silent.

He stayed and waited for him to wake up again.

After all, he fell into a coma so suddenly that everything had not yet been explained. There would still be trouble. After the previous one, no one wanted to have such a nightmare again.

"Princess Jin, when will Your Majesty wake up?"

Everyone was worried and cast their hopes on Yun Jin. Yun Jin, who had always been relatively calm, felt deeply that he had a heavy responsibility when facing everyone's hopeful eyes.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty is just too tired. You will wake up naturally after you have slept enough, within a day."

Father, please wake up! I have made a promise to everyone. Yun Jin prayed secretly in her heart.

Fortunately, her secret prayers had an effect, and Emperor Sheng Yuan woke up. Immediately, everyone was extremely excited and quickly came to the outside of Emperor Sheng Yuan's chamber, quietly waiting for the news to come out of the palace.

The palace was already filled with important ministers and the princes of Emperor Sheng Yuan who were not killed in the palace incident.

At this moment, their eyes were all focused on the woman who was seriously taking the pulse of Emperor Sheng Yuan. It was as if she was the master of life.

"Princess Jin, how is your Majesty?"

This woman was Princess Yun Jin of Jin. Before Yun Jin could speak, Emperor Sheng Yuan spoke with a smile.

"Don't embarrass Princess Jin. I understand my physical condition."

After hearing this, Yun Jin felt extremely sour. But she didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, she took out a brocade box from her sleeve pocket and opened it carefully.

Immediately, a fragrance filled the nostrils, and a shiny black pill appeared in front of everyone.

"Father, give it."

"Jin'er, you've even given away your family's financial resources. How long can this be extended?"

"Father, it's Jin'er who is useless..."

"After eating it, how long will I have left?"

Emperor Sheng Yuan's question made everyone feel grief-stricken. Their eyes were already filled with tears, but they did not dare to cry out.

Yun Jin was also filled with grief. She didn't want to answer any questions from the old man and the emperor in front of her. But facing those calm eyes, she couldn't refuse at all.

He closed his eyes and answered reluctantly.

"Five days, only five days."

"Father, my son and minister are incompetent..."

After saying that, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Her cry made everyone hold back the tears they had previously held back, and they flowed down quietly.

"Okay, who said you are incompetent? You are the most skilled doctor in our country. Five days is enough."

Because Emperor Sheng Yuan only had five days to live, everything accelerated. Everyone took action quickly. The clothes worn by the fourth prince Mingyu when he ascended the throne, the clothes worn by the fifth prince Mingyao when he was named Prince Xiaoyao, etc.

, the embroidery bureau worked all night long regardless of day or night.

Due to palace changes, being killed or being betrayed and implicated in rebels, various ministries are short of personnel. In these days, officials are being evaluated and positions are being arranged.

Every important minister only hurried home that day to take a bath, change clothes, rest for a while, and then rushed to the palace without stopping, continuing to work day and night.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, the fourth prince Mingyu put on the imperial attire that was made day and night. With firm steps, he ascended to the supreme position and accepted the great gifts from the ministers.
