The faces of all civil and military personnel in the court suddenly turned pale with a "swipe" sound.
"Father...Father...Father...sons, sons...are here." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince crawled forward two steps and knelt down on the ground with all his strength, his whole body shaking like chaff.
His Majesty the Emperor's eyes suddenly revealed a strong sense of disgust.
"Your Majesty, please raise your head and let Father take a good look at you. Look at my son." His Majesty the Emperor said in a low and cold voice.
"My son... I don't dare..." His Highness the Crown Prince lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head. Or should I say, he did not dare to face His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne above him.
Father!
"Dare not? Hahaha..." His Majesty the Emperor laughed sadly: "Is there anything in the world that you dare not do? Things that are ten thousand times more treacherous than this, you have done your duty and done it yourself; at this moment, I
I asked you to raise your head, but you dare not say anything? You are really too humble, my prince, my good prince, my good prince!"
The whole hall was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
His Highness the Crown Prince only felt his heart beating loudly, as if his heart had moved to his own brain to make a home and beat.
Every beat is a violent vibration, thrilling.
With a pale face, he finally slowly raised his head, looked at his father, and looked into the hawk-like eyes on the other side.
His Majesty the Emperor's eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion.
"As expected of my crown prince, he is indeed a talented person, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a majestic appearance." His Majesty the Emperor half-closed his eyes and said calmly: "Let me ask you, have I ever deprived you of your crown prince position? Or maybe I have?
Have you ever done anything similar?"
The prince trembled: "No, never."
"Have I ever told you that my health is not good, and maybe I will pass the throne to you in the next few years?"
"Father... said it."
"Have I ever said that my body is no longer able to bear the load? I am terminally ill, the medicine is ineffective, and perhaps my life will not last long?"
"Father...said..."
His Majesty the Emperor's voice became calmer: "I have never hidden such a private topic from you, such a secret illness! This has been the most taboo topic for all kings for tens of thousands of years; I will do my best for the sake of the relationship between father and son.
I will cultivate you and hide nothing from you; I only hope that after my great success, you can take up the important responsibilities and continue the glory of Chenhuang, so that its prestige will not decline, that's all!"
His Highness the Crown Prince prostrated on the ground again, but this time he really did not dare to raise his head.
"I have never been able to understand it; you obviously know everything, and you know even better that no one can shake your position as prince! You just need to wait patiently, waiting for the day of my great success. You even already know that I
The day of your great success is not far away. As long as you wait until that day, everything will be yours. But you still insist on plotting a rebellion, why is that? Answer me?!"
His Majesty the Emperor frowned.
He really didn't understand this.
He was a talented and powerful emperor, but he really couldn't understand how his son was thinking about it. He knew everything about his own physical condition, which was so secret.
It can be said that I have nothing to hide from him.
As long as he persists for a few more years, or even three to five months, or at most a year and a half, everything will be his!
But why still choose the circuitous path of rebellion!
