The two of them supported each other as they turned around to face the emperor, then knelt down.

"This humble subject deserves to die, I've scared the emperor!"

Everyone kneeled down. "This humble subject deserves to die, your majesty has been frightened! This humble subject deserves to die, the Emperor was frightened! "

After this unforeseen event, the Emperor was still in a state of shock, anger, and gratification. He then looked at everyone before waving his sleeve. "Rise." Only then did everyone stand up.

The emperor's gaze shifted to Fang Zinan. "Prince Rong, how did you know that someone was trying to assassinate us and even brought General Xiao to save us?"

"Your majesty, it was wangfei who heard King Xuan mention it. King Xuan said …" Fang Zinan turned around and glanced at Ning Wang. After making up his mind, he kneeled down again. "It was Ning Wang who sent people to assassinate the Emperor."

"You're talking nonsense. It's none of your business." Ning Wang turned angry from embarrassment and refused to admit it.

Fang Zinan completely ignored him and continued to speak to the emperor, "My nephew also found out that he colluded with Shu Ziming to set up an ambush near the Great Temple. He waited for the emperor to be killed, then decided to rebel."

The emperor was angered to the point that his expression changed. He looked at Ning Wang with surprise and hatred, feeling both heartbroken and helpless. He then heavily ordered, "Take him away."

"Your Majesty …" "Your Majesty …" Although Ning Wang begged and begged, he was finally escorted away.

"Your majesty, this humble subject has been deployed all night after receiving Prince Rong's notice. The troops that have been lying in ambush are currently fighting with Shu Ziming's subordinates. I believe they will soon be able to eliminate the rebel army. Please do not worry, your majesty." After Xiao Tianyuan received the news, he started to arrange this matter with Fang Zinan to save the emperor. However, he never expected King Ning to be so vicious. Not only did he not set up an ambush, he even arranged for assassins to deal with the emperor.

The emperor nodded in gratification. "If it wasn't for the two of you, my life would be gone!"

"This humble subject does not dare take credit, if I did not receive Prince Rong's notice, this humble subject would not have been able to arrange anything in advance."

"Enough, enough. Both of you have done a great service for me. I will definitely reward you heavily." Seeing that both Fang Zinan and Xiao Tianyuan were heavily injured, he was greatly moved. "Both of you are injured. Quickly, send someone to support Prince Rong and General Xiao."

Some eunuchs came forward to support Fang Zinan and Xiao Tianyuan, and Shang Yiqing ran over as well. She didn't think too much, but reached out to support Fang Zinan. Fang Zinan glanced at her, and although his face was pale from blood loss, his eyes were warm and filled with joy.

After returning to the Imperial Palace, everyone was waiting for the Emperor in the great hall.

"The Emperor has arrived." As the eunuch's voice spread, the emperor came out from the back of the palace with his support. As he walked, he even coughed a few times. It was obvious that this matter had dealt a great blow to him.

Ning Wang knelt there arrogantly, without a single shred of shame on his face. When he saw that the emperor had come out, he didn't even frown.

The Emperor looked at him with a heavy expression and said, "You are the eldest among the princes and are also the direct son of Prince Yu. I have always held you in high regard. How could you do such a thing? What do you hate about me? You want to put me to death? "

"The prince behind me, your throne should have been given to me. However, you made the other three princes compete with me. Let's not even talk about King Xuan or King Ding, even the ordinary and sickly Prince Rong wants to compete with me over a piece of the cake. For the sake of King Rong, you didn't hesitate to scold me. Ning Wang replied angrily.

The Emperor glanced at him with a pained look of disbelief. "Just for this?"

"You want to occupy the throne at the age of sixty and command the world? What do I count as? What am I? "

"Is this why?" His Majesty felt his heart ache even more.

"I also have the talent to become the emperor, and I've also been repaid. The position of crown prince was originally mine, so you should have already passed the position of emperor to me." Each of Ning Wang's words struck at the heart. Not only was there not even the slightest bit of regret, it even made people hate him and find it difficult to calm down.

"Is that why you're here? Do you think that I have decided to rebel because I did not pass on the throne to you? " The emperor's tone became even more sorrowful.

"Those who block me, die!" Ning Wang laughed maniacally.

The emperor only shook his head. It was unknown whether he was angry or hurt, but his eyes were red. "Do you know that not only am I the emperor, I'm also your uncle?"

"When encountering Buddha, kill Buddha; this is what a real man should do!"

The emperor was speechless. He felt his chest stifle as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Eunuch Li hurriedly stepped forward to support him. "Your majesty, you have to protect the dragon's body."

The emperor coughed vigorously and left the hall without another glance at Ning Wang.

A few princes were still waiting outside the hall, wondering about the situation inside.

After a while, he suddenly heard a young eunuch say, "Eunuch Li has arrived."

Eunuch Li came out, and everyone's spirits were lifted. King Ding couldn't wait to catch up to Eunuch Li and urgently asked, "Eunuch Li, how does the emperor plan to punish King Ning?"

Eunuch Li ignored him and only waved his hand. He then came before the Prime Minister Zhao Guotai and said, "Lord Zhao, the Emperor has decreed that you are to announce the world and that King Ning is plotting against you and that you are to be imprisoned within the estate. You are not to leave the estate for the rest of your life."

"Understood." Zhao Guotai accepted the decree.

Eunuch Li turned and left.

Seeing that Eunuch Li had left, Prince Ding shouted to the crowd in a huff, "I long knew that His Majesty doted on King Ning and had everyone go together to persuade the emperor. The emperor was soft-hearted at the moment and gave up on that traitor!"

"Since the emperor has made up his mind, we don't need any objections." The one who spoke was King Xuan.

The Minister of War, Zuo Tiancheng, took a step forward and said with a smile, "Congratulations, King Xuan." He then changed his words, "No, I should congratulate the Crown Prince."

King Xuan shook his head. "Not yet!"

"Not yet, but soon." This was the Minister of the Civil Service, Bai Zijing.

Prime Minister Zhao Guotai also cupped his hands and smiled, "King Xuan, it must be you!"

The Minister of Industry, Chen Pao, said: "The Emperor lightly punishes Ning Wang, he still has a merciful heart towards him. Ning Wang might still have a chance to make a comeback. "

Zhao Guotai laughed heartily, "You are really making a fool out of yourself. The Emperor is willing to spare the life of Ning Wang for such a heinous crime. "Ning Wang's momentum has been lost. Even if he wants to turn the tables, he probably won't be able to do anything."

"Besides, it's easy for a prisoner to get away with anything." King Ding added.

"But this time, Rao Wang made a great contribution …"

Chen Wutai had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Zhao Guotai. "What great contribution? Even if Prince Rong made a huge contribution, with his body, would the Emperor hand over the country to him? He only did so to clear the way for King Xuan and to help others get married! "

Come, we are King Xuan." No, the crown prince, cheers! Zuo Tiancheng laughed and raised his glass.

"King Xuan, after you." Everyone raised their wine cups, and King Xuan drank it happily. However, no one noticed the vicious gaze that King Ning threw at them. King Xuan was not yet the crown prince. Everyone was just fawning on him like this and completely looked down on him.
