Chapter 382 Do you think you won?
After the third prince roared and vented his anger, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"But none of this matters anymore!"
"Even if Xiao Jingyi is your beloved, so what? In the end, he will only die!"
"Old man, after you die, I will soon let your most beloved son go down to accompany you!"
Emperor Jingping's face flushed red, and he was breathing heavily, as if he was almost exhausted by the Third Prince.
"The treasonous son, the treasonous son..."
Emperor Jingping turned his gaze towards Concubine Cui and Queen Mother Cui, and asked in a hoarse voice: "I have been kind to you and the Cui family, why did you betray me?"
Concubine Cui's eyes were full of hatred. If she hadn't been concerned about Emperor Jingping suffering from smallpox, she really wanted to rush up and give him two slaps in the face.
"You are not unkind to us? How dare Your Majesty say such a thing?"
"I am the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, and my aunt is the queen mother. I have been by your side for more than 20 years in the palace, working diligently to manage your harem, but I am still just a concubine."
"The Empress Yuan is the first wife chosen by the late Emperor for you. I know I can't win against her."
"But she was unlucky and passed away early. This position of successor should be mine anyway!"
"But you would rather leave the throne vacant than make me the queen!"
Emperor Jingping looked at her coldly, "Although I have not made you the queen, you are the imperial concubine second only to the queen."
"I have given you the power to manage the six palaces, and yet you are still not satisfied?"
"Why should I be satisfied?" Concubine Cui held her head high and confronted Emperor Jingping.
"Don't think I don't know. You have never loved me. You took me into the palace only because of my aunt and the Cui family."
"Neither the emperor's love nor the throne belongs to me. Why should I be content with this?"
"It would be fine if it had always been like this, but a Concubine Lan suddenly appeared..."
When Concubine Lan was mentioned, the anger and jealousy on Concubine Cui's face almost distorted her entire face.
"How could Concubine Lan be so lucky? Not only did she receive the emperor's love, but she also made you want to make her the successor."
"If you dare to take my position as queen, don't blame me for not being able to tolerate her!"
"If I can't get it, no one else can get it!"
Emperor Jingping's pupils trembled, "It's you, it was you who killed Lan'er..."
Concubine Cui laughed loudly, with a hint of madness in her eyes.
"Yes, I used a knife to kill someone, causing your beloved Lan'er to die. Afterwards, I cleaned up the mess and let the concubine who did it take the blame for me."
"You're going to die soon anyway, so I'll let you be a clear-headed ghost."
Emperor Jingping was filled with rage: "I will kill you! I will kill you!"
Concubine Cui rolled her eyes in disdain, "This palace is full of our people, and you can only be so helpless and furious now."
"That bitch Concubine Lan stole my position as queen, and the bastard she gave birth to is now trying to steal my son's position as crown prince. They are truly mother and son from the same bloodline!"
"But these are no longer important. Soon, your family of three will be reunited in the underworld..."
When Concubine Cui said this, she finally felt that the depression that had been suppressed in her chest for many years dissipated a little.
She winked at the Third Prince and said, "My son, go and inform your uncle that the event has been completed. Summon all the civil and military officials to the palace to prepare for the enthronement of the new emperor!"
The Third Prince's face was filled with joy, and he immediately shouted loudly to the outside of the palace: "Someone come..."
There was silence outside the hall and no one responded.
The Third Prince suddenly felt a little frightened and panicked, and immediately called out loudly: "Someone, someone, please come..."
There was still no movement outside the palace.
When Empress Dowager Cui and Concubine Cui saw this, their expressions changed and they felt uneasy.
Emperor Jingping suddenly sneered and shouted sternly: "Someone come!"
Unlike before, this time, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of black-armored guards rushed in from outside the hall.
As soon as these black-armored guards entered the hall, they subdued all the people from the Third Prince's faction in the hall.
The Third Prince looked at the man who was the last one to come in with these black-armored guards. His head suddenly started buzzing and he was completely stunned.
The eldest prince, wearing golden armor, knelt down in the center of the hall facing Emperor Jingping, "I am late in coming to your rescue, I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
Emperor Jingping raised his hand and signaled the eldest prince to stand up.
"You came just in time. If it weren't for you, I would have died with regrets today, and this vast country would have fallen into the hands of this traitor who is forcing the emperor to abdicate!"
The eldest prince said respectfully, "Father is blessed by heaven. Even without your son, you will be able to turn danger into safety."
After the eldest prince finished speaking, he turned to look at the third prince, "Third brother, why don't you surrender and confess your guilt to your father?"
"Do you think you did everything perfectly?"
"To tell you the truth, I reported to my father early in the morning that you used tea sets infected with smallpox to murder him."
"Father actually knew about your evil ambitions a long time ago, and ordered me to lead people to ambush outside in advance."
"For the sake of our relationship as father and son, I want to give you a chance to reform."
"If you had stopped in time, you could have been given a lighter punishment, but you kept making the same mistake over and over again."
"At this point, why don't you confess your guilt to the emperor and ask for leniency?"
No matter how stupid the Third Prince was, he finally came to his senses and realized that he had fallen into a trap.
He planned it painstakingly, but he didn't expect that the eldest prince was already prepared.
In the end, everything was done for his benefit.
"A mantis stalks a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it!"
The third prince gritted his teeth and glared at the eldest prince.
All his actions today are absolutely intolerable to Emperor Jingping.
Even if he knelt down and begged with tears streaming down his face, there was no chance of him surviving.
Using tea sets infected with smallpox to murder the emperor, forcing the emperor to abdicate and commit treason, and forging an imperial edict of succession, no matter which one, is an extremely heinous crime.
Since there is no way to escape death, why bother begging and losing the last bit of dignity?
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I am not as skilled as others. I admit defeat!"
The third prince looked at the eldest prince coldly and sneered, "Do you think you won?"
"Our good father is always thinking about passing the throne to Xiao Jingyi!"
"That's the person he identified as the successor to the throne. Who do you think you are?"
"Do you think your father will pass the throne to you? Just dream on. How much weight do you think you have in his heart?"
“Do you think you can beat Jamel Xiao?”
The third prince laughed loudly and kept verbally attacking the eldest prince.
At the end, he suddenly changed the subject and pointed at the eldest prince and said to Emperor Jingping: "Father, do you think he is a good person?"
"Do you think he came to you to tell on me out of kindness?"
"It's true that I want the throne, but doesn't he want it?"
"Father, be careful not to play with fire and get burned. Someone with ulterior motives may take advantage of you..."
The third prince laughed so hard that he seemed crazy.
