Anyone who knows the truth understands that the news that the emperor is terminally ill cannot be suppressed. Counterfeiters have come out to insist on important tasks a few times, which is just to delay for some time. As time goes by, people will eventually be discovered.
The old prince and others knew and understood this truth, but they could only do this. The court was troubled internally and externally, and they did not dare to announce the news now.
Several top-notch masters gathered in the emperor's palace. They looked at the motionless emperor on the bed. They were silent. The atmosphere in the palace was very serious, and even the sound of everyone's anger could be heard. For a while, the old prince
He opened his mouth and said: "Eunuch Cao, Guo Juxia, is there any news from the six gates of Dongchang?"
The two looked at each other with serious faces, shook their heads, and Guo Juxia said: "Most of the so-called holy medicines in the world are blown, including the most powerful Shaolin Dahuan Dan and Peach Blossom Island's Jiuhua Jade Dew Pills.
I’ve tried it and it has no effect at all.”
After Guo Juxia finished speaking, Eunuch Cao continued: "If you must still be awake, there may be a glimmer of hope in practicing the Demonic Poison Technique, but now, the poison has invaded the brain..."
"Have you found your so-called Sun Laodao?"
Eunuch Cao shook his head again: "Zhongnan Mountain has sent people there, and Sun Laodao disappeared without a trace..."
The old prince looked at the trembling doctors with a gloomy face: "Is it true that His Majesty can't wake up?"
"Maybe there is a way, but... I am incompetent!" Several imperial doctors knelt down, not daring to say any more nonsense.
"A country cannot live without a king for a day. The heir to the empire must be established quickly!" The old prince said with his eyes closed and gritted teeth.
"I wonder who the old prince thinks can take on this important task?" In the final analysis, the heir to the empire is still chosen among the royal family. Although it is not just a matter of the royal family, several people all looked at the old prince. As the supervisor who is currently in charge of the government,
In this country, his opinion is the most important.
The old prince shook his head and sighed. To be honest, the old prince was not satisfied with the two princes. As the eldest elder of the royal family, he was well aware of the virtues of the royal family members. Direct descendants, because of the sense of mission instilled in them since childhood,
Their moral character is not bad, but the members of the side clan are almost all unlearned and unskilled for various reasons. Even the best among them is still looked down upon by the old prince.
On the other side, Zeng Yi and others have already discussed secretly contacting the old prince. They are still very familiar with the old prince, the pro-junduweifu and others. After all, he is the only top-notch expert in the royal family, and he is also the highest-ranking elder in the royal family.
"The main thing to determine now is whether the old prince will have the same attitude as the emperor! If so, it will be troublesome to let him know that the little princess is still alive!"
"Probably not. The old prince is a very good person. When King Xing rebelled, the old prince also begged for King Xing's mercy and hoped that the emperor would save King Xing's life. After all, the direct members of the royal family are too depleted."
"Don't say what you should, now be 100% sure!"
One hundred percent, but no one can guarantee it, especially a top-notch expert like the old prince. If an accident occurs, no one will even have a chance to make amends. Seeing everyone's silence, Zeng Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Several seniors,
Just tell me directly, based on your understanding of the old prince, in his heart, which one is more important, the emperor or the royal family?"
"Of course it is the royal family. Otherwise, the old prince would not have asked the emperor to save the lives of King Xing and his son because of the decline of the direct descendants of the royal family. Moreover, a large part of the reason why the princess was alive in the capital was because
The old prince’s plea.”
"That's the case. What's there to be afraid of? I'll go see the old prince in person. As for the seniors, I think that if something unexpected happens, you can use your skills to take the antidote and regain all your strength to protect the princess and leave.
Question?" Zeng Yi obviously didn't want to procrastinate any longer.
"If there is an accident, whoever wants to touch the princess must first step over our corpses!"
"That's enough, I'll go see the old prince tonight."
At night, Zeng Yi, who had returned to his true self and put on the assassin uniform of the pro-military captain's palace, quietly left the residence and came to the mansion of the old prince. As the emperor's uncle, the old prince used to be like a royal family.
He is a mascot who does not care about politics. The emperor has rewarded him many times. Even this palace was rewarded by the emperor.
The old prince is highly skilled in martial arts. As the only top-notch master in the royal family, he is also one of the best in the world. Therefore, there are no guards in the old prince's palace, only a few servants to take care of his life. This pair of Zeng Yilai
Saying it was good news, he entered the palace very easily.
This is the first time that Zeng Yi has entered this palace. He will definitely not be able to find where the old prince is for a while. However, Zeng Yi cannot find the old prince, but it does not mean that the old prince cannot find him. If the old prince is a super master, if
If Zeng Yi couldn't even detect such an obvious behavior, then this super master is too bad.
Zeng Yi almost entered the palace openly, so when he arrived at the palace, he had no intention of restraining his momentum. He just wanted to let the old prince discover him. At this moment, Zeng Yi heard a sentence in his ear: "Your Majesty, come to me in the middle of the night.
What is there to do in this house?"
"Old prince, you're fine!" Zeng Yi replied loudly.
As soon as Zeng Yi said this, a figure flashed in front of Zeng Yi. The person who came was the old prince whom Zeng Yi wanted to contact. The old prince looked at Zeng Yi, frowned and said, "Who are you?"
Zeng Yi smiled and said: "Haha, the old prince is really a noble man who forgets things. I'm a former Jinyi Guard, and I have met the prince!"
"It's you!"
The old prince finally recognized Zeng Yi, with a surprised expression on his face, and then snorted coldly: "Huh! You still dare to come to the capital? Do you really think that the court will not arrest you!" As he said that, the old prince suddenly came up.
In the first few steps, he made a move to capture Zeng Yi.
Fortunately, Zeng Yi had been careful since he entered the palace. He sensed that the old prince wanted to capture him, so he transformed himself and dodged back more than ten meters.
"Old prince, I have no ill intentions."
"Hmph! Put down your weapons and surrender immediately. I can spare your life, otherwise you should know the consequences!"
You definitely can't beat him, and it's impossible to escape Zeng Yi. Besides, since he dared to come, he didn't think about escaping. "Old prince, can you listen to me? If you want to take down this junior, I will definitely do it."
