When Jin Long saw that his father had finished playing when he said that it would be over, he did not react for a short while. It was absolutely outrageous to try and take the throne away from his father. Although Jin Long had done it before, he was only instigated by others and did not succeed either. It was only to scare him now, that he had been immobilized. He was to draw up a fake imperial decree announcing that the emperor had abdicated and Jin Long would take over as the emperor. If he sat on the throne, then he would be pretending to be real.
But now …
"You … "You actually set up your father!" Concubine Xiang's face was filled with shock and pain. She covered her mouth and looked at Jin Long in disbelief.
Jin Long was anxious and never thought that the Concubine Xiang would frame him like that. He could not help but say angrily: "What did you say, I did not manage the Royal Father, his death, is none of my business."
"You said just now that if the emperor didn't give up the throne, you'd do it to him. In the end, the emperor vowed to die and refused to comply, so you went all out. Do you still want to argue?" How could Jin Long possibly compare to his? Her pear-stained appearance was enough to make people's hair stand on end. Seeing Jin Long at a loss for words, the Concubine Xiang panicked and shouted, "Men, your majesty is dead, Crown Prince Jin Long has killed your majesty!"
"Damned woman, you better not spout nonsense. I did not manage to kill the Royal Father." Prince Jin Long looked at the flocking guards and started to panic. He felt that he had fallen into a meticulously crafted conspiracy and was about to become someone else's scapegoat.
Jin Long originally thought that he was the spider guarding the center, his power had already infiltrated the entire imperial city.
Only now did he realize that he was just a pathetic prey.
The one who followed the guard in was the seemingly loyal Second Prince, Jin Qiang.
"Qiangdi, it's good that you're here, this bitch is framing me. I didn't set up the Royal Father, you have to testify for me." Seeing that Jin Qiang, who had always been obedient and honest, had come, Jin Long's worry decreased greatly. He thought that Jin Qiang would stand by his side and help him unconditionally, but who knew that …
"Royal brother, I have always respected you. I never thought that you would actually kill your father to seize the throne, and do such an outrageous thing. As a younger brother, I can't help you this time," Jin Qiang reprimanded his younger brother, then waved at the guards, "Attack!"
As the dozen or so guards closed in on Jin Long, Jin Long's expression changed, and he shouted angrily at the guards: "I am the crown prince, the future emperor, you guys are too daring, to be so disrespectful to the emperor, you must be tired of living! If anyone comes any closer, don't blame me for using the Big Start Ring.
Jin Long's voice could only be described as loud, it was the scream of a spirit cloud ghost. This roar was simply earth-shaking, like flying sand and rocks. The pitch was so high that even Old Pa, who was known as the world's number one tenor, had to admit that he was inferior.
After Jin Long finished shouting, Cui Shangtang and a dozen of his ministers entered.
Cui Shangtang remained calm and smiled to the crown prince, "This servant is here, what orders does the crown prince have for me?"
Jin Long thought that he finally found a way to save his own life. Old Cui was kind, always nodding his head to him as if it was his own will, extremely respectful, and his idea was also this fellow's. There was no reason for Old Cui to not be on his side. Thinking of this, Jin Long stepped forward and held Cui Shangtang's hand: "Cui Qingjie, you are going to testify for me that I didn't manage to become the Royal Father, I didn't do it."
Cui Shangtang shook off Jin Long's hand and turned the tables in the battle, "My apologies, Your Highness. This servant is unable to testify for you, and this servant didn't see anything at all. "The Emperor also swore that he wouldn't obey. Now that the Emperor is dead, it's clear that the Crown Prince has done it. This servant is loyal to the Emperor, and this servant can't do it if you ask this servant to lie for you."
Jin Long took two steps back, and looked at Cui Shangtang with disbelief. This fellow had originally been looking at him with wooden eyes, but he had actually treated him as a life-saving straw.
"What about you? Do you also think that I have become a Royal Father? " Jin Long pointed to the dozen or so ministers and asked loudly.
They replied in unison, "It's not a thought, it's a fact."
Jin Long surveyed his surroundings. Not a single one of them were on his side.
"Where are my people? "What about the people I've placed outside?" Prince Jin Long screamed in panic.
"They're still outside." Cui Shangtang laughed.
"Why didn't they come in?" Prince Jin Long was furious.
"Because they can't come in." The smile on Cui Shangtang's face was unspeakably ridiculing. That kind of smile made Crown Prince Jin Long angry, as he felt that he was just a clown.
"Why can't I come in?" He continued to ask, trying to hold his cool.
"Have you ever seen a dead man leave?" Cui Shangtang replied.
"Royal brother, do you understand now? When your play is over, surrender yourself. " Jin Qiang sat at the spot where the emperor had sat a moment ago, eating lunch as he spoke to Jin Long.
Jin Long looked at Jin Qiang, then looked at Concubine Xiang who gave him food, and finally came to a realization: "I understand, it's you two. And you even put the crime on me. You're all so insidious. "
Jin Qiang laughed honestly: "Royal brother, don't slander me with your blood. Royal Father was clearly executed by you, I am here to avenge Royal Father. However, since we are brothers, I can reward you with a few cups of wine before sending you on your way. " After Jin Qiang finished speaking, he poured a cup of clear and fragrant good wine into Jin Long's hands.
Jin Long looked at the cup of wine, within the wine, it reflected his miserable and terrified expression, he never thought that the incident where he was loitering would actually turn into such a scene.
Wine, wine was a good thing.
Jin Long grabbed the wine cup and drank it in one gulp. The cool liquid entered his throat and flowed down his esophagus into his stomach, making him feel very comfortable.
"Royal brother, you have been the most domineering since you were young. Third brother is the most intelligent and capable. Royal Father likes Old Third, and if you're unhappy, then take it out on me. I remember exactly how many times you've beaten me. I'll do whatever you want me to do, and I'll do it according to your wishes. Because if you disobey, then you will become nothing but a fool. Do you know how much I hate you? " As Jin Qiang spoke till here, his body revealed a venomous glint. Jin Long had never seen this kind of expression from his usually dull and honest second brother.
"But I won't say anything. I will endure, because I know that the time is not right yet. I want to win back everything I lost at the last moment. Now is the time!" Jin Qiang smiled, but his eyes were still cold.
Jin Long suddenly felt a pang in his heart, which instantly spread throughout his entire body. His face also turned green and black, as he pointed at Jin Qiang: "The wine is poisonous!"
Jin Qiang turned around, no longer looking at him, and announced in a loud voice to everyone. "The crown prince intended to kill my father to seize the throne, and after my persuasion, he understands his wrongs, and has now committed suicide out of fear!"
Jin Long raged on his heart. He stepped forward with the intention to pinch Jin Qiang's neck, but his throat had already been strangled by the Death God.
"A nation cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Although Jin Qiang is incapable, he can only reluctantly accept the fact that tomorrow, we will be the first day that we step foot on a great treasure!" Jin Qiang announced loudly.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Everyone fell to their knees.
Jin Long spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, dead. His eyes were open, filled with disbelief.
