"Then what should we do? Are we not going to do anything? " Ping Yang wanted to continue trusting Fang Zhengzhi, but she was not willing to wait any longer.
Because …
The one in the palace was her father.
The one who doted on her the most.
When a person's memories were missing, for example, when she had never seen her mother since she was young, the word 'father' represented the entirety of familial love.
Even though she was born into a royal family.
"Actually, we …" Fang Zhengzhi wanted to say that they should just watch the show, but when he saw the anxious expression on Ping Yang's face, his heart skipped a beat and he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
To Fang Zhengzhi …
He had no intention of getting involved in this fight.
The fight for the throne was a common occurrence since ancient times.
Everyone who sat on the throne had gone through a lot of hardships and resorted to unscrupulous means. Even the wise Emperor Taizong in his previous life.
He only sat on the throne after the incident at the Xuan Wu Gate.
The winner was king, the loser was bandit.
If Emperor Taizong did not start the incident at the Xuan Wu Gate, there might not have been a Zhenguan Reign. Then, who could comment on whether it was right or wrong?
"What about us?" When Ping Yang heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, she immediately turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi with a face full of hope.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang again. Then, he looked up at the darkened sky and said, "If we can't be the fisherman, then we can only choose another role!"
"What role?" Ping Yang was confused.
"Passerby A!"
…
The Throne Room in the palace.
This was where the morning court was held. Logically speaking, Emperor Lin Mubai should not be here. However, he was indeed sitting on the Dragon Throne in the Throne Room.
His golden dragon robe was neat and tidy. Eunuch Wei stood beside him.
Other than that, there was no one else in the Throne Room. The huge room looked rather spacious. It was so spacious that it made people feel pressured.
Until …
Two masked men in black walked in from outside.
"How dare you! Who dares to barge into the throne room!" Eunuch Wei's voice rang out the moment the two masked men walked in.
At the same time, he took a step forward. There was no surprise or fear on his face.
Following Eunuch Wei's shout, the two masked men in black stopped. They did not immediately approach Eunuch Wei or Emperor Lin Mubai.
Emperor Lin Mubai raised his hand.
When Eunuch Wei saw this, he immediately shut his mouth and returned to his original position.
"Since you are here, do you still want to wear masks?" Emperor Lin Mubai looked at the two masked men in black and asked.
The two masked men in black looked at each other. Then, the veils on their faces were slowly removed, revealing two young faces.
The one on the left had a jade-like face and a gaze as sharp as an eagle's, while the one on the right had thin lips and long, narrow eyes. He looked extremely feminine.
It was the Crown Prince, Lin Tianrong!
"Didn't I tell you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors in the Eastern Palace? Why are you here? " Emperor Lin Mubai nodded slightly. He did not look at the person on the left, but at the Crown Prince.
"Father, why ask when you already know the answer!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's eyes twitched. He looked a little flustered, but he still gritted his teeth and answered.
"Get lost." Emperor Lin Mubai spoke again. His tone did not change much, but the meaning behind his words was extremely clear.
There was no nonsense.
There was no intention to negotiate. He only used three words to tell Crown Prince Lin Tianrong what he had to do next.
This was the Emperor.
The high and mighty Emperor.
Even though there weren't many guards around him, even though the Royal Guards outside had all collapsed to the ground, his aura didn't weaken at all.
His voice reverberated in the throne room.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's expression changed abruptly, and he subconsciously took a step back. His face was drenched in sweat, and his eyes were filled with hesitation.
"The Emperor of the Great Xia indeed lives up to his name!" The eagle-eyed man in black spoke at this moment. At the same time, he looked at Crown Prince Lin Tianrong with disdain. "Your Highness, do you want to get lost now?"
"Shut up!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's tone was cold. At the same time, he slowly walked back to his original position. His eyes were extremely cold. "Father, since I am here, I have no intention of going back!"
"Get lost!" Emperor Lin Mubai spoke again. However, this time, his tone was obviously much more intense. At the same time, a golden light shone from Emperor Lin Mubai's body.
A huge wave of pressure surged out from him.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's body trembled. He lifted his foot again. However, this time, he did not wait for his foot to land firmly on the ground. Instead, he immediately retracted his foot and placed it back on the ground.
"Father, the outcome has been determined. As long as you are willing to give up the throne, I will guarantee your life!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's lips trembled slightly, but his expression was unusually determined.
This sentence …
It had been in his mind countless times, but he had suppressed it countless times. Because he was already the Crown Prince, he could wait. He could wait slowly.
Wait until the day Emperor Lin Mubai passed down the throne.
However, now, he could not wait any longer.
This was because his position as the Crown Prince was already in danger. If not for the fact that he had begged and even used his mother's love to beg for forgiveness, he might not have been the Crown Prince by now.
As such, how could he wait any longer?
"Your Highness, quickly return to the East Palace. The Emperor is magnanimous and will definitely give you a lighter sentence. You must not be so stubborn!" Eunuch Wei heard Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's voice and finally could not help but speak up.
"Haha … lighter sentence?" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong laughed. Following which, his expression became somewhat arrogant. "If I become the Emperor, why would I need to give you a lighter sentence?"
"Your Highness …" Eunuch Wei wanted to continue, but after seeing Emperor Lin Mubai's expression, he ultimately swallowed his words.
"Father, the entire Palace is now under my control. As long as you die, the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty will naturally belong to me. I hope that you can consider my suggestion. If you are willing to give up the throne, I will definitely not hurt …"
"Shut up, do you know what crime you have committed?" Emperor Lin Mubai did not wait for Crown Prince Lin Tianrong to finish his sentence.
"What crime? This crime is a little severe. Contacting foreign states and conspiring to usurp the throne. I think I should at least be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts? "Crown Prince Lin Tianrong thought for a moment before replying seriously.
"It seems like you are prepared!" Emperor Lin Mubai heard this and finally nodded. At the same time, the golden glow on his body completely disappeared.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong saw this scene and a cold smile formed on his lips.
It was as if he could already see the light of victory. If Emperor Lin Mubai really gave up the throne, that would actually be the best thing that could happen.
After all …
Not many people knew how powerful Emperor Lin Mubai was.
However, one thing was certain. If Emperor Lin Mubai fought with all his might, the throne room would be stained with blood. If that was the case, how would he be able to attend the morning court session tomorrow?
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong did not want to wait any longer.
He had already thought of what he would say during the morning court session tomorrow. Furthermore, he had already prepared everything. He had even put on his dragon robe.
"Hiss!"
A crisp sound rang out in the throne room.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's black robe was directly torn apart. At the same time, a golden dragon robe was revealed. The golden glow was dazzling, like a dragon soaring through the clouds.
"Prepared? Of course I'm prepared. Father was killed by foreign assassins. When I rushed to the palace, I only saw a posthumous edict. Oh, that's right, the edict is still missing something, the imperial seal. I'll have to trouble Eunuch Wei to help me … no, help me stamp it! "As Crown Prince Lin Tianrong spoke, he took out a roll of golden silk from his robes.
"Your Highness, you …" Eunuch Wei looked at the golden dragon robe on Crown Prince Lin Tianrong and the silk scroll in his hands. His expression changed completely.
Wearing a dragon robe and holding a fake posthumous edict!
Such a move was sufficient proof that Crown Prince Lin Tianrong was fully prepared. At the same time, it also meant that there was no turning back.
"Don't call me Crown Prince. Call me Your Majesty!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's tone turned cold. At the same time, a long sword appeared in his hand. A long sword that gleamed with a cold light.
As Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's sword appeared.
More than twenty figures dressed in black walked into the throne room. Every one of them had a black mask over their face. They were also holding different kinds of weapons in their hands.
However, unlike Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's sword …
These weapons were already stained with blood. Drop by drop, the blood dripped onto the floor of the throne room. The air was filled with the stench of blood.
"Father, haven't you always loved that woman? Didn't you almost give up the throne for her? Why don't you really give up? You can look for her. As long as you give me the throne, you will be free. You can look for that woman without any worries. Isn't that what you have always wanted? "
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's tone was filled with viciousness. He had been waiting for this moment to explode. He had been suppressing his anger for a long time.
"How dare you!" A furious roar rang out at this moment. At the same time, a ray of golden light illuminated the entire throne room. It was a dragon, a dragon formed from the convergence of golden light.
