Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 137 Palace Chaos

Ning Zhiwei looked at her coldly, "Queen Mother, are you okay? If I had this ability, would I still stay here?"

This is clearly asking her to die.

To be honest, her loyalty to the royal family had been exhausted when her family was destroyed in her previous life.

They say that the Ning family has been favored by the emperor for generations, and that the Ning family has not let the royal family down, but that the royal family has let the Ning family down.

The Queen Mother was furious. "This is an imperial decree."

She wanted Ning Zhiwei to rush out and seek help at all costs. After all, the person who died was not one of her own, so she didn't feel sad.

Ning Zhiwei shook her head slightly, "It's really chilling that you're still scheming against your subjects at this time, Queen Mother, you've enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and glory, it's worth it even if you die."

The Queen Mother was furious and kept saying that she was dead. Are there any rules? "I am the Queen Mother, how dare you talk to me like that? Are you going to rebel too?"

Ning Zhiwei played with the gold bracelet with a look of disdain on her face, "I am powerless, how can I rebel without manpower? You are getting old and confused. I advise you to be quiet and stop making trouble, maybe you can save your life."

She looked at everyone, "Everyone, the most important thing right now is to protect yourself and not cause trouble to your family. This is the greatest merit."

Madam Duan thought about it and realized that this was true. They were all women, what could they do? They were not enough to be killed by others. "That's right, everyone calm down. The rebels will not kill us unless it is absolutely necessary."

They are hostages, used to threaten their families.

The Queen Mother became even angrier and secretly swore that she would kill Ning Zhiwei as soon as she escaped from the predicament, and no one's advice would be of any use.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at Rong Jing, and the two sat back in their original seats and talked in secret, reaching a unanimous agreement.

Restore the royal family? No, they are just fighting among themselves, not being invaded by foreign enemies. Let them fight to the death, they won't take sides.

All they have to do is escape safely from the capital.

On the other side, the prince went out and asked, "There was a loud noise just now, what happened?"

The subordinate reported cautiously, "It seems that the gunpowder of the Shenji Camp exploded."

The prince looked very unhappy. How could the gunpowder explode for no reason? Gunpowder was a national treasure and was kept under strict supervision.

He had a bad premonition, so he made up his mind and led a large number of people straight to Wenming Palace, but was stopped by the guards of Wenming Palace.

"Your Highness, please stop. The Emperor is resting and no one is allowed to disturb him."

Civil and military officials rushed over and asked, "Prince, what happened?"

The prince signaled his men to surround the officials with his eyes and said loudly, "The gunpowder in the Shenji Palace exploded. I want to see my father, but these dogs and slaves deliberately prevent me from seeing my father. My father is seriously ill and can't get up. I can't help but suspect that someone intends to support the emperor to control the princes. I want to go in and see with my own eyes that my father is safe."

All the ministers were horrified.

The emperor's illness had been kept secret from his ministers, but the astute ministers had already guessed something and made arrangements early on, but they just kept silent.

"What the prince said makes sense. We want to see the emperor and make sure he is safe."

The chief eunuch came out and shouted, "How dare you! The emperor has ordered that anyone who dares to enter the palace will be killed without mercy."

The prince's face changed and he flew into a rage, "Banban, it turns out that you are the one who has evil intentions. Come, arrest him."

The eunuch's heart sank. The prince indeed had the intention of rebellion. The emperor had predicted everything.

"Prince, it's not too late for you to step back now. I will pretend that nothing happened."

The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. The prince looked stern and waved his right hand, "Go."

The two sides fought in a group, the sound of fighting was deafening, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.

The civil and military officials stared at this scene in a daze, their faces changing dramatically. Palace chaos!

Although the prince's attack came suddenly, he had already had this intention in mind and had rehearsed the situation countless times with his ministers and had made countless contingency plans.

As they advanced bloodily, countless people fell and countless others killed their way in. When they rushed into the inner hall, they saw only an unconscious old emperor and several imperial doctors.

He was not awakened by such a loud noise, which shows how serious his condition is.

The prince walked to the bed with a concerned look on his face, lifted the quilt and checked for a while, then pinched the emperor's inner thigh hard, but the emperor did not react at all.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "What happened to Father?"

The imperial physician knelt down with a plop, trembling. "The emperor has an incurable disease. I'm afraid... he won't last long."

The prince was confident, "Quickly summon all the princes, princesses and concubines to come and take care of the patient. Anyone who dares not come will be killed."

"Yes."

The prince issued orders one by one, "Send our men to take over the three camps. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."

"Inform all officials to rest in the main hall. Without my order, you cannot go anywhere. Those who disobey will be killed."

With the sound of killing, today's palace is destined to be the bloodiest day.

What did the officials not understand when they heard this? The prince was rebelling!

"Three elders, six ministers, follow me."

The nine big men who were named looked at each other with complicated expressions. There was another fight for the throne. How should they choose this time?

If you make the wrong choice, the entire family will be wiped out.

The prince issued orders one after another, discussed with his advisers for a long time, and made a thorough layout before he had time to sit down and have a sip of tea.

A guard reported, "Prince, Miss Lin has something important to report."

"Let her in."

Lin Jingshu's wounds had been treated, and her whole body was wrapped in a layer of white gauze. "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

There was a flash of disdain in the prince's eyes. How ugly! "What's the matter?"

Lin Jingshu was sensitive to the prince's disdain and felt angry and resentful.

"Why didn't you arrest Ning Zhiwei and Rong Jing? They are both extremely dangerous people. Ning Zhiwei has the Ning family's 100,000-man army, and Rong Jing has the support of the Princess's Mansion. Their words will determine the direction of the matter. We can't let them leak it to the outside world."

Her face was ruined, and the imperial physician said that even with the best ointment, it would be impossible to restore it to its normal state.

A beautiful woman with great ambitions had her face disfigured and could no longer serve men with her beauty. She missed the chance to become the queen of her dreams. How could she not feel hatred?

She wished that everyone in the world would be buried with her dream.

If she doesn't have a good life, no one else can have an easy life, especially Ning Zhiwei who must die!

The prince had forgotten about these two people, "Where are they?"

Lin Jingshu was stunned for a moment, "They are at the Queen Mother's place, didn't you see them just now?"

The prince frowned slightly, perhaps because there were too many people and he didn't notice, "Come here, invite Princess Jingning and Master Rong to come, and be respectful."

If he wants to accomplish anything, he also needs the support of these two people. The Ning family's 100,000 troops all listen to Ning Zhiwei, the strength of the Princess's Mansion is still unknown, Rong Jing is extremely smart, and these two people have a great influence among the people.

"Yes."

Lin Jingshu's eyes flashed, "Prince, there's no need for you to be so polite. If you don't obey, I'll beat you up..."

The prince looked stern and shouted coldly, "What do you know? Women have long hair and short knowledge. Get out of here."

Lin Jingshu knew that he was naturally cold and indifferent, but she was still hurt. "Prince, I want to stay and watch the fun."

This is nothing, the prince agreed, but he didn't know that it would pose a huge hidden danger.

Queen Mother's Bedchamber

The prince's attendant gave an order with a stern face, "The prince has ordered to summon Princess Jingning and Master Rong to accompany him. Where are they?"

This fox-assumption-of-the-tiger attitude makes everyone tremble with fear, is this how he gets to the top?

The Queen Mother pointed, "There."
