The male partner is wearing it quickly, paranoid villain, why are you locking me up?

After that, the prince quickly took control of the princes and placed them under house arrest in the palace.

The emperor was in a coma, and the prince temporarily acted as the prince in the affairs of the court. After correcting the memorials every day, he hurried to the emperor to personally take care of him and give him medicine. His filial piety was well known in the capital.

Unfortunately, this illusion was soon broken by his crazy greed for power.

Today, the Forbidden City is as heavily guarded as an iron barrel, and the number of soldiers patrolling the city has increased several times.

The lives of ordinary people continued as usual without any changes, except that the emperor living in the palace was poisoned and fell into a coma. The prince controlled the court and took care of the old emperor day and night. His filial piety was highly praised by the people of Ming Dynasty.

The princes who were under house arrest in the palace were all anxious, except for one of them.

The fourth prince acted as if nothing had happened, he was very calm and quiet, playing chess, reading and practicing calligraphy every day, and eating and drinking when he should. In the eyes of outsiders, he has given up resistance and completely resigned to his fate.

The eighth prince looked at the leisurely appearance of his fourth brother, and his originally anxious mood suddenly calmed down.

Others only know that the fourth prince is superb at chess, but they don't know that his strategy and strategy are also extraordinary, and he is definitely not something that belongs in the pool.

A person with such a ruthless character will not sit back and wait for death, willing to live under others and let others do what they want.

What's more, the fourth brother now has a favorite whom he wants to protect and treasure.

The Eighth Prince looked at the loving look of the two feeding each other, and felt that he was redundant, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Here, the prince was so busy that he had to correct memorials and preside over court meetings, while at the same time he had to win over people's hearts and plan for his enthronement.

The dark circles under his eyes were thick, there was no blood on his face, and he looked very haggard.

However, I felt very satisfied in my heart. After enduring it for so long, it was time to end it all.

"Father, it's time to take medicine."

The prince held a bowl of dark soup and fed it spoonful by spoonful to the old emperor lying on the bed, as if he were a filial son.

The old emperor had been in a coma for many days. Although he could not move, his consciousness was very clear and he could hear the sounds from the outside world. He raised his hand tremblingly, and his purple lips kept pouting, as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing this, the prince raised a charming smile and leaned over to whisper to the unconscious old emperor.

"Father, the feeling of being poisoned must be unpleasant. After living for so many years, it's time for you to die. You can safely leave this country to your child."

Nie... Niezi!

After hearing these words, the old emperor's eyes suddenly bulged as if he were having a flashback. His dry five fingers tightly grasped the dragon robe on the prince's body, and his facial features were horribly distorted.

The prince frowned, ruthlessly tore apart his withered fingers, and said expressionlessly: "Father, it's better to have a good rest. My son will manage the world better. You can finish your last journey with peace of mind."

"Come here! Bring the medicine." After the prince finished his harsh words, he called the eunuch guarding the door to bring the last dose of strong medicine, preparing for the old emperor to die quietly.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the outside. Just as he was about to get angry, the door opened from the outside.

Not only his loyal confidants came in, but also the fourth prince who was supposed to be under house arrest in the palace and the court ministers headed by Xu Shangshu.

The prince panicked, and then smiled coldly: "Why are you here? Someone, capture him!"

The Forbidden Army soldiers poured into the Yangxin Hall in dense numbers, but instead of arresting the fourth prince as ordered, they quickly surrounded the prince and others, their spears flashing with a dazzling cold light.

The prince was completely panicked, threw up his sleeves and shouted angrily: "Are you going to rebel? I am the emperor, and you are seeking power and usurping the throne! You should be punished for your crimes!"

"You are the one who wants to rebel. My father is still alive, but my eldest brother is wearing a dragon robe on his body. It is a serious crime to overstep his authority. If we are caught without mercy now, we can still get a lighter sentence."

The fourth prince stood with his hands behind his back, hating his eldest brother as much as iron, and said with a worried look on his face, as if he was thinking about his eldest brother.

The prince gritted his teeth, knowing that there was nothing he could do to save himself. He raised his head and laughed wildly, and then with lightning speed, he pulled the old emperor up from the bed.

The sharp blade was pressed against the old emperor's throat, and the prince made a final resistance with a ferocious face.

"No one is allowed to come near! Prepare a carriage outside the palace, hurry!"

The fourth prince frowned tightly and scolded sternly: "Father treats you well, brother, why do you have to take the wrong approach? The rebels outside the palace have all been captured, you..."

The prince spat and roared hysterically like a madman.

"Stop acting so pitiful, bah, hypocritical, I really underestimate you. Aren't you very filial? Just stab yourself, and I will ensure that this old immortal can come back safely."

Nowadays, the prince is a piece of fish on the chopping board and is not qualified to negotiate terms. Furthermore, the old emperor's time was running out, and the fourth prince could have ordered the imperial army to kill the traitors on the spot without having to think so much.

Xu Shangshu on the side bowed his hands and began to persuade: "Your Highness, the fourth prince, there is no need to hesitate. I suggest that the rebels be killed immediately to avoid future troubles."

Song Jiu stood nearby and shook his head in the direction of His Highness, indicating that he could not do this. His worry and nervousness were palpable.

This scene was so dazzling in the eyes of the prince, so dazzling that it made him envious and jealous, wishing he could replace it.

Having been a prince for more than twenty years, he hated anyone who was more outstanding than him, and even more hated that Qin Han had someone he could confide in.

His fourth brother is always so lucky.

"Hurry up!" the prince threatened loudly, and he dug the blade a little deeper, and a line of blood immediately appeared on the old emperor's neck.

The fourth prince was silent for a while, then took out a dagger and stabbed it into his chest without hesitation, causing blood to flow all over the floor.

"master!"

"Lord!"

Several people gathered around and bandaged the fourth prince's wounds.

The old emperor saw this scene in his eyes. He trembled and struggled, and tears of regret flowed from his muddy old eyes.

The fourth prince looked pale and weakly ordered his subordinates: "Prepare the carriage. No one is allowed to harm the prince without orders from this palace."

The prince held the old emperor hostage all the way, passed through the densely packed Forbidden Army, and broke into the palace gate.

Just before entering the carriage, he turned around and saw the two people on the city wall.

The fourth prince looked solemn and stared at his every move.

The young man standing side by side was looking at his master intently, his clean eyes looking at the fourth brother's wounds, filled with traces of heartache and pity.

This sincerity is something the prince has never received.

The prince looked in a daze for a while.

Suddenly, there was a sharp stabbing pain in his heart. He suddenly came to his senses and looked down to see an iron arrow inserted straight into his heart.

Fourth brother is so lucky...

Before he died, the prince thought this, then he fell to the ground and died like this. Everyone quickly came over and found that the old emperor had died of poison and had no chance of living.
