Wan Caihou had no choice but to accept it temporarily.
I plan to let my father and grandfather persuade the prince after today. My father and grandfather are his uncle and grandfather. He should be able to listen to their words.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to Qianqing Palace."
"right."
Chu Yichen suppressed his boiling blood and grinned, "Prince Jing rebelled, and I killed the rebels for my father. I should tell my father. My father is seriously ill, and I know that I am so desperate." Xiao, you will definitely be very pleased."
"Let's go, follow this king to Qianqing Palace."
On the road from Kunning Palace to Qianqing Palace, rivers of blood flowed and corpses were strewn on the ground.
No one dared to stop him.
Most of the people who tried to stop Chu Yichen died under his encirclement and suppression.
Chu Yichen arrived at Qianqing Palace unimpeded.
Under the bright palace lanterns, the door of Qianqing Palace was tightly closed.
Chu Yichen gave an order, "Open the palace door."
"..."
At the entrance of the main hall are the personal soldiers of Emperor Yongxuan.
He led his troops to guard in front of the palace, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued an imperial decree. Without his decree, no one is allowed to enter Qianqing Palace without permission."
"Ah!"
Chu Yichen stared at the guard and sneered. He suddenly drew his sword and penetrated the heart of the guard with one sword.
"puff!"
The long sword was drawn out, and blood spattered three feet.
The guard's eyes widened and he fell to the ground.
Wan Caihou didn't expect that Chu Yichen would kill someone at the slightest disagreement. His heart suddenly contracted, "Your Majesty... no!"
The Qianqing Palace is full of people from the emperor.
Even if you are just showing off, you should use both soft and hard tactics to force others to open the palace door, and you should not kill people.
The emperor is not dead yet.
"Your Majesty..."
Chu Yichen glanced at him coldly, Wan Caihou's words of dissuasion rolled in his throat, and he swallowed them back.
A moment.
He already understood what the prince was thinking.
He did it on purpose.
Deliberately using this iron-blooded method to tell everyone that he, King Jiang, is the one who calls the shots in the palace now.
Those who follow others live, those who go against others die!
That's right.
That's what Chu Yichen thought.
He stood proudly in the heavy snow, staring coldly at the guard in front of the Qianqing Palace, "I say it again, open the palace door."
"..."
No one dared to protest this time.
After the guards looked at each other, they put away their weapons and silently opened the palace door.
So far.
The gate of Qianqing Palace, which had been closed for a month, was finally opened.
The candlelight in the main hall flickered, as bright as day.
Chu Yichen led his soldiers and swaggered into the main hall, and then entered the palace. In the palace, the palace people knelt on the floor. Seeing those palace people who used to only kneel to his father, Chu Yichen's heart surged.
He entered the palace and strode to the dragon bed.
The bright yellow bed curtains were hanging down, so no one could be seen inside.
"My sons and ministers see my father."
Chu Yichen knelt beside the dragon bed and said in a deep voice, "Father, Prince Jing colluded with the Crown Prince and Queen to rebel. My son has already wiped out the rebels. Please tell me, Father."
"..."
There was no sound on the dragon bed.
Chu Yichen frowned and repeated, "Father, Prince Jing colluded with the Crown Prince and Queen to rebel. My son has already wiped out the rebels. Please tell me, Father!"
"..."
Still no one responded.
Not even the sound of breathing came from the dragon bed.
Chu Yichen's brows furrowed even more tightly. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. Not only did his father's personal eunuch Su Heng not be seen in the entire palace, he did not even see the figure of Master Wu.
As his father's most trusted people, shouldn't they stay with him?
Chu Yichen made a quick decision, "Open the bed curtain."
"..."
The palace maid kneeling beside the bed stood up shakily, and opened the bed curtain with trembling hands.
On the dragon bed.
The quilt is neat and empty.
Chu Yichen's expression changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly, "Where is your father?"
"..."
The people in the palace were almost lying on the ground, and no one dared to say a word.
Chu Yichen stared at the palace maid who was pulling the bed curtains, and said sternly, "Where is my father?"
"Slave, I don't know..."
"Bad maid!"
Chu Yichen raised his knife and cut off the palace maid's head.
He looked around and stared coldly at all the maids and eunuchs in the hall, "You are all serving in the Palace of Qianqing. Tell me, where is my father?"
"..."
"Okay, don't say yes."
Chu Yichen gave an order, and the imperial guards pressed the maids and eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace to kneel in a row in front of Chu Yichen. Chu Yichen said sternly, "From now on, if I ask questions one by one, and no one answers, I will Kill one person until you are all killed. I ask again, where did your father go?"
The atmosphere in the hall was terrifyingly depressing.
Some eunuchs couldn't stand the high pressure and cried out, "The slave said, the slave said."
"explain!"
"Your Majesty, the servants really don't know where the emperor has gone. A few days ago, the emperor suddenly sent the servants and others to the main hall outside, leaving only Manager Su and Master Wu in the palace. The emperor has an order that no one is allowed to approach. The servants waited outside the palace until half a day later when they realized something was wrong. When they came back, they found that the emperor had disappeared along with Master Wu and Manager Su."
"..."
Chu Yichen felt a little uneasy and said sternly, "My father is missing. Why hide the news about such an important matter!"
"It's the emperor's wish."
The eunuch cried and said, "When the slaves and others came back, they found an imperial edict left on the dragon bed. The emperor had an edict that his disappearance should not be leaked. Everything should remain as it is. The slaves are also acting according to the edict."
"Dog slave!"
Chu Yichen kicked the eunuch in the heart, and the eunuch immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Chu Yichen said angrily, "What if my father is kidnapped? Who can guarantee that the edict is true?"
"it is true."
The eunuch covered his heart and said with difficulty, "The imperial edict was written by the emperor himself, and it was stamped with a jade seal. It cannot be faked."
"Where's the imperial edict? Bring it!"
Immediately, a palace maid pulled out the imperial edict from the dragon bed and handed it to Chu Yichen tremblingly.
Chu Yichen opened it.
With just one glance, he knew that the imperial edict was indeed true.
It is indeed my father's handwriting on it, and the jade seal on it is also genuine.
Can……
Isn’t my father seriously ill and bedridden?
How did he write this edict in his own hand?
Could it be that...father is pretending to be ill?
As soon as this thought came out, Chu Yichen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If the father was pretending to be ill, then why did he pretend to be ill? Why did he watch him and the prince killing each other without stepping in to stop it?
The development of things was completely different from what he expected, and Chu Yichen suddenly panicked.
The most important question before us now is...where is my father now?
"Your Majesty!"
Wan Caihou called him and reminded him in a low voice, "You have no way out."
Just like Wanjia.
When he decided to help Chu Yichen seize the throne, there was no way out.
Chu Yichen woke up instantly.
That's right.
My father is already "seriously ill", so his only option is to "die".
Chu Yichen threw the imperial edict into the brazier and burned it to ashes. He strode out of the palace. The cold air outside the palace was mixed with snowflakes and fell on his face and body. His brain had already sobered up.
He told Wan Caihou, "Leave no one behind!"
The news that my father left the palace must not be spread.
"yes!"
Chu Yichen didn't move.
He stood in the main hall, listening to the frightened cries and screams coming from inside. Within a moment, Wan Caihou came out covered in blood, "Your Majesty, everything has been cleaned up."
"Have people carefully search the secret passages in Qianqing Palace. After they are found..." Chu Yichen lowered his voice, "Everyone present today, except you and me, cannot be left alive!"
