Chapter 209 - The New Emperor
Crown Prince nodded his head, the sword in his hand pointing straight to the sky: "Kill!"
Just then, the city gate was destroyed and the Crown Prince army rushed forward.
"Wuu —" The military order was blown, and all of the soldiers that were advancing into the palace stood there without moving. This was the military command that summoned the troops, so why was it coming from outside?
Ye Yi and Lord Mu were both shocked as they heard the sound of deafening footsteps that were like heavenly thunder.
Ye Yi immediately instructed Su Zhan: Go, see what is happening!
Su Zhan agreed as he rode his Crown Prince and brought his troops to fight against the imperial guards. He leapt off the horse and landed in front of Ye Qun, the sword in his hand pointed downwards, the sharp blade flickering with a ray of light.
Ye Qun pulled out the treasured sword on his waist, his gaze was gloomy, with his sword pulled out, a wave of powerful and cold Qi spread out, shaking Crown Prince's clothes to the point of flaring up.
The Crown Prince raised his sword and rushed towards Ye Qun. He was just a sick person, how could he not be able to take care of him? Crown Prince revealed a look of contempt, and taunted: "Fifth brother, if you kneel and beg for mercy at this time, your brother will spare your life.
Ye Qun's lips curved, the sword in his hand deflected Crown Prince's sword, and a trace of sympathy appeared in his warm eyes. Looking at Ye Yi, he felt Shang Fang's treasured sword nimbly thrusting towards his chest.
Just as the two of them were fighting to the point where they were at a stalemate, a sword stabbed straight through Ye Yi's back, right through his chest, causing blood to spurt out everywhere, and some blood even flew onto Ye Qun's face.
Ye Yi's eyes widened in shock, he lowered his head to look at the sword at his chest, and turned to look at the man behind him, only to see Su Zhan pulling out his blood stained sword, with an expression on his face that he could not understand.
Ye Yi would never have thought that the person he was closest to would stab him with a sword! Unable to endure any longer, he fell to one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Not far away, seeing the situation, Lord Mu immediately ran over to Crown Prince. At this time, Ye Qun's men had already placed the swords on Lord's neck, causing him to put down his swords and look at Su Zhan with a face full of anger.
All of Crown Prince's troops were subdued. Su Zhan cupped his hands towards Ye Qun and said, "I've scared Fifth Prince, to be honest, the Emperor has always sent people to follow Crown Prince, and the purpose is to supervise and protect you."
Ye Qun kept his sword, only to see the Crown Prince not moving at all, as though he was dead, and said: "This time I remember everything Prince Su said."
Although he said that, Ye Qun was not an idiot. Su Zhan definitely had his own selfish motives, if not, why did he not inform Crown Prince of the news earlier and let him be on guard against the rebellion?
However, he had just dealt with the Crown Prince, and the army had lost their vitality. Right now, it was better to not cause too much trouble, so he did not voice the doubts in his heart.
Su Zhan spoke out: "This subject has something to report."
"Please speak, Heir Su."
"His Majesty's death wasn't an accident. It was intentional on the part of the Crown Prince. When he found out that the Emperor wanted to pass on his position to you, he entered the palace in the middle of the night and killed the Emperor while no one was around." Su Zhan said word by word.
When those words came out, the crowd's expressions changed. Crown Prince murdering his father? What kind of felony was that? He could still pretend as if nothing had happened and force his to abdicate his position? What a disgraceful act!
Ye Qun held the sword tightly: "Is what you said true?"
"If Fifth Prince doesn't believe me, he can send people to examine the corpse." Su Zhan said in a deep voice, thinking, luckily he went to take a look, otherwise, if he followed Crown Prince, he would only be sending himself to his death! Who would have thought that the Emperor would secretly give Ye Han's army to Ye Qun. However, this was what he thought of the emperor.
Ye Qun was slightly gloomy, as he did not think that Ye Yi would kill the person closest to him for the sake of the throne. He ordered someone to drag Ye Yi down, and Ye Qun instructed, "Arrest the people from the oriental palace, and on account of their innocence, let's derogate from the Xin Dynasty and make them into slave labor. As for the Crown Prince Concubine, follow the Mu Family! As for Lord Mu, I shall kill you all without mercy! "
When Lord heard this, his expression changed and he kneeled to the ground and begged for mercy, "Fifth Prince, please spare my life. This subject was also disturbed by Crown Prince and was confused for a moment before making a big mistake.
"Why didn't I think this would happen before the rebellion?" Ye Qun was calm as he signaled someone to drag him down.
After ordering his men to put Queen under house arrest, Ye Qun invited the Imperial Physician to examine the emperor's body. She really was strangled to death, Ye Qun's heart was aching, he never thought that his royal brother would actually be such a reckless person.
Ye Qun removed him from the royal family tree and ordered people to bury him in the outskirts of the capital.
The Emperor's funeral was sent to the Emperor's Tomb. Other than being a voluntary concubine, Ye Qun could choose not to accompany the Emperor in his funeral. As for the Queen, they would naturally be killed to accompany the Emperor in his funeral.
Qi Fei hugged the seven Princess s and sighed, "It's a good thing the Fifth Prince is so generous. Otherwise, there would probably be more people dying with them."
The seven Princess were drawing drafts, hearing this they nodded their heads.
Three days later, when Ye Qun ascended the throne, his new year title was changed to Dragon. The ministers of His Highness all kowtowed and shouted in a deep voice, "Long live the Emperor — —"
Ye Qun opened his hands and replied: "I am fine."
Now that he had everything under the heavens, where was the person he wanted to find?
After the assembly, Ye Qun stood on top of the building and looked at the scenery outside the hall. The oculi's expression was complex, he asked Meng Na: "Is there any news of Yun Qin?"
Mona shook his head. Ever since the Princess left the capital that day, she disappeared without a trace. "
Ye Qun said in a slightly sunken voice, "No matter what you do, you must find her and bring her to us."
Meng Na sighed inwardly, he didn't understand why Yun Qin was worth being so worried about, but master's orders, other than being obedient, didn't dare him to say much either, and could only reply, "Yes."
Ye Qun looked at the clouds in the sky and saw that they were glowing with a gold light. Qin'er, Qin'er, where are you hiding? Now that he was a Ninth Paragon, there was no one who could change his mind. He had the power to keep her by his side.
However, where was the person he was thinking of?
In the Marquis Mansion of Ning Country, Su Zhan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the blossoming peach blossom, he asked: "There's still not been the Glazed Glass Token?"
"Reporting to the crown prince, this little one has already sent people to search everywhere, but there hasn't been any yet."
Su Zhan's oculi flashed a look of unknown meaning, and said solemnly: "You must find it for me! "Go quickly!"
When subordinate was about to leave, Su Zhan suddenly thought of something and signaled subordinate to prepare a carriage.
Since he had not yet received Ye Qun's trust, it would be better for him to tell Ye Qun some of the information he knew in exchange for some of his trust.
asked to see Ye Qun. Ye Qun put down the paper in his hand, signaled his father-in-law to let him in, and raised his eyebrows: Heir Su, is there something you need?
"Your Majesty, this subject has something to say." Your Majesty, this subject has something to say. Su Zhan said.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Because of the matter of the Crown Prince, this subject was unable to recall his memories for a while."
