Chapter 136 Rebellion
Chapter 136 Rebellion
Did the prince know that the truth had been revealed? If he knew, would he just go all out...
The Queen Mother was also a little panicked, "Quick, go and get the Emperor. Where is the commander of the Imperial Guard? Call him over."
Ning Zhiwei took Shaoyao and quietly walked to the corner. Rong Jing also walked to her side quietly. The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
The prince, dressed in full military uniform, strode in with a group of guards and looked around calmly.
He bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "I heard that two big tigers came down the mountain, broke through the cordon and broke in, injuring many women. Are you okay, Queen Mother?"
His attitude was respectful and looked no different than usual, but the Queen Mother heard a hint of probing. Her heart tightened and she smiled very lovingly, "An, Prince, why did you come back so soon?"
The prince looked at her deeply, then looked at the others. None of the other female members were as calm as the empress dowager. Wherever his gaze went, they lowered their heads, trembled with nervousness, and some almost fainted.
The prince's eyes gradually darkened, and he secretly said in his heart, "Something happened to the female relatives. No one has the heart to watch the hunt, so I just came back. Is my father safe?"
The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said, "He is still resting. No one is allowed to disturb him."
The prince's eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking. Everyone's heart was hanging in the air, and they were sweating profusely due to nervousness. They were extremely anxious and hoped that nothing could happen.
A shrill scream sounded, "Prince, you have to make the decision for me. You have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. I am your man, but they treat me like this. It's obvious that they don't take you seriously."
It was Lin Jingshu. She looked like she had rolled in blood. Her whole body was covered in blood and her face was hideous and terrifying.
The prince's eyes turned cold, "Who did this?"
A Jinyiwei stood up and said, "The Jinyiwei was ordered by the Queen Mother to investigate the tiger that came down the mountain and bit the female family members. Lin Jingshu is a great suspect."
He spoke carefully, but still angered the prince, who kicked him, "Suspect?"
How did they find out about Lin Jingshu? Did she leak the secret? This idiot can't even do such a small thing.
Lin Jingshu's eyes were crazy, and she shouted, "Prince, they forced me to confess and forced me to admit that you were the mastermind behind this incident and intended to rebel."
She knew that her survival depended on this one.
Only if the prince rebels and rules the world can she save her life, otherwise these people will not let her go.
The sachet she gave away was the ironclad evidence that completely nailed her down. If she wanted to change her fate, the only way was for the prince to ascend the throne.
Besides, she was beaten like this and suffered so much, and everyone has to pay a heavy price for it.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes went dark. This woman was trying to force the prince to rebel. She was crazy.
The prince's face changed drastically, "Who dares?" His subordinates all wanted to start a rebellion, but he was still hesitant.
The Queen Mother was very anxious, "Prince, we didn't doubt you, she was just talking nonsense. You are the crown prince of a country, the future emperor, how could you possibly rebel? There is no need for that, the throne will be yours sooner or later."
Lin Jingshu sneered, her bloody face and ferocious expression were truly terrifying. "Your Highness, the Emperor's suspicion of you is well known to everyone. You were beaten for no reason, which is a warning to you. If you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. You should have made a decision earlier."
The Queen Mother was furious and anxious, she wished she could shut her mouth and should have beaten her to death.
"Prince, she has bad intentions and wants to..."
"Boom." A roar was heard outside. The prince's face changed drastically, and his wavering heart made a final decision.
This is the best time to rebel!
You can't blame him for being unjust; it's because the emperor is too suspicious and wants to replace the crown prince.
A prince who loses his position as crown prince has no choice but to die.
"Come here, block all the passages. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission. Ask all the ministers to go to the Ming Palace to ask questions."
Wenming Palace is the emperor's residence and also the place where he summons civil and military officials.
"Come on, follow me to see the emperor."
"Everyone, just stay here. If you don't behave yourself, I will kill you without mercy."
The guards followed the prince away, leaving only one team guarding the door. As for Lin Jingshu, she was taken away for treatment.
As soon as they left, all the female members of the family looked at each other in dismay, especially the Queen Mother. She was high above everyone else and was used to a life of luxury. How could she have ever experienced the pain of being imprisoned?
In fact, she has always secretly supported the fifth prince born to her niece, Concubine Xian, as that is in her best interest.
Once the prince ascends the throne, her hard days will begin.
No, you can't sit still.
"Everyone, please think of a way to inform the people outside. This is the most dangerous moment for the royal family. Please put aside your past grudges, work together and find a solution."
Everyone racked their brains but couldn't come up with a good solution. Old Madam Duan came up with an idea, "Queen Mother, can you try to bribe the guards to pass on the message?"
"You can try." Having said that, the Queen Mother didn't hold much hope.
Compared to the great wealth of following the dragon, what is money?
Sure enough, he was rejected and beaten half to death.
The Queen Mother was extremely worried, but suddenly her eyes lit up, "Rong Jing, Lord Rong."
She almost forgot about this person.
Ning Zhiwei and Rong Jing, who were hiding in the dark and communicating with lip language, frowned at the same time. Rong Jing winked at her and then came out.
"The minister is here."
He was still cold and indifferent, but at this moment, people inexplicably felt safe.
The Queen Mother was full of expectations for him. "You are resourceful and you must have a way to notify the princes and the three camps and ask them to go to the king's defense, right?"
Rong Jing's eyebrows trembled slightly, he didn't want to get involved in such things. The fight between father and son in the royal family and the struggle for succession were often accompanied by bloodshed.
Every time it is filled with countless lives.
And he just wanted to save his own life, his mother's life, and the life of his loved ones.
As for the others, let them die.
"I am now a commoner, powerless and powerless. I really have no idea what to do. How can I get out? I don't know where the princes are now, and the commanders of the three camps are scattered everywhere. How can I send a letter?"
The Queen Mother frowned, "You can't, or you don't want to?"
Rong Jing said calmly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. You have been managing the palace for many years and still can't do anything. What can I, an outsider, do?"
The Queen Mother looked at him deeply, and suddenly raised her voice and said, "Ning Zhiwei, come out."
Ning Zhiwei rolled her eyes and walked out slowly with an indifferent expression.
The Queen Mother's eyes were blazing. "You are the head of the Ning family. The Ning family has been blessed by the emperor for generations. Now the royal family is in danger. It needs people like you to turn the tide and restore the royal family. I hope you will not let me down, and don't bring shame to the ancestors of the Ning family."
Ning Zhiwei sneered in his heart. When things go wrong, I count on you to turn the tide and save the royal family. When things go wrong, I kill you all.
"What do you want me to do?"
The Queen Mother acted like a female Zhuge Liang, "I want you to charge out and divert everyone's attention, so that Lord Rong can take the opportunity to slip out and report the news."
Ning Zhiwei just wants to curse, MD, how shameless!
