Emperor Jianning never imagined that he would fall into the situation he is in today after he ascended the throne for only five years.

The sons, brothers fought against each other and killed each other, and he was considered an accomplice among them, and he himself was threatened and coerced by the valued eldest son.

All this is because of the dragon chair under him!
Looking at the indifferent and alienated Prince Chen in front of him, what appeared in Emperor Jianning's mind was the scene of the father and son discussing the history of national policies in the study of Yanzhou in the past.

His eldest son is outstanding in talent, generous and benevolent, courteous and corporal, open-minded and eager to learn, and caring about people's livelihood. When did he become like this?

"Come here, please ask the emperor to take medicine." Chen Wang lowered his eyes and ordered in a low voice.

The guard at the back immediately picked up the small bowl, beckoning several other people to come forward together.

"His Royal Highness, Wang Ye, you can't do this, the emperor is your biological father, Your Highness!"

Wang Lianyi defended Emperor Jianning to the death, and cried out to Prince Chen.

But King Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, and let the guards pull Wang Lianyi away to restrain Emperor Jianning.

Emperor Jianning swung the sword in his hand, but he was no match for the young and strong guards. Soon he was detained in a very embarrassing situation, his face was pinched, and he was forced to open his mouth.

Seeing that the poison was about to be poured, Emperor Jianning struggled with all his strength and shouted angrily in a hoarse voice.

"If I want to die, I absolutely can't die like this. If you still have half filial piety, let me kill myself!"

Prince Chen looked down at the sword that fell on the ground, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to stop the guards from pouring medicine.

"release."

The guards let go in response, and Emperor Jianning fell heavily to the ground, like that sword, which seemed to have lost its former sharpness.

Emperor Jianning picked up the sword, supported the ground and stood up slowly, his eyes had returned to calm.

Just as he was raising the sword, suddenly everyone heard five or six sounds of fireworks blasting from outside the hall, and King Chen's attention was immediately attracted to him.

As cautious as he is, ask questions immediately.

"Where did the fireworks come from?"

The guard then became nervous, and hurried outside to inquire, but when he came back, his expression turned ugly.

"Go back to the prince, it is Chengzhao Temple."

Chengzhao Temple, that is the place where the queen and grandson prayed.

In an instant, the calmness in Prince Chen's eyes was broken, anger spewed out suddenly, he turned and rushed towards Emperor Jianning, drew out the guard's knife and laid it across Emperor Jianning's neck.

"what have you done!"

Compared with his fury, Emperor Jianning seemed much calmer at this moment.

It's a half-smile, with no waves on his face.

"Since the empress and grandson came out of the palace to pray for me, they will naturally live and die with me. If my condition does not improve, it means that their prayers are not sincere, and they deserve to die."

"you dare!"

Chen Wang gritted his teeth.

Emperor Jianning raised his voice, "I am the Son of Heaven, why would I dare not! You have already put a knife on my neck today, so you should be prepared to lose everything!"

"If you kill Hao'er, who will inherit Beidi Jiangshan, the fourth child?" Chen Wang sneered.

Emperor Jianning said, "It is true that I only have your sons, but I have more than one grandson. The fourth is useless, but he has many male heirs. If I can raise one grandson, I can also raise several more."

"But Xiaoer, it's your only choice right now."

Speaking of this, Emperor Jianning pinched the blade of King Chen with his hand and pushed it away little by little.

"You can kill Zhen directly, but I'm afraid Xiao'er won't survive. Do you want to take advantage of the idiot of the fourth child?"

Prince Chen stared closely at Emperor Jianning's eyes, as if trying to discern the truth from what he said.

At this time, a guard immediately came to deliver a message.

"My lord, someone came to deliver a message, saying that if the lord hurts the emperor, I'm afraid the grandson and empress will also suffer."

"Who said it?" Chen Wang asked.

The guard shook his head, "I didn't tell who it was."

Chen Wang took a deep breath, his face turned cold.

After waving his hands to screen that person away, he gave instructions to the surroundings.

"Take the emperor and go to Chengzhao Temple."

The guards responded in unison, escorted Emperor Jianning out of the palace, and went straight to the temple.

Wangfu.

Yang's side soon got the news, and his expression flickered slightly.

After a moment of silence, he said.

"Send the man to the prince, maybe it will be useful."

"Yes."

The people who came cupped their hands and immediately retreated.

Chengzhao Temple.

The queen held her grandson tightly in her arms, and stared at the man in black with vigilant eyes.

"Who are you, dare to break into the royal temple at night, and dare to imprison the palace and grandson!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." The man in black sat behind the screen, only the outline of his figure could be seen, "As long as Your Highness Chen Wang does as I say, I guarantee that Your Majesty and His Highness Taisun will be safe and sound."

"Whatever you want him to do, I can promise you, no matter if it is wealth or rank, as long as you let me and grandson go, I will definitely agree to you!" The queen began to use soft moves.

"Noisy."

The man behind the screen pinched his earlobe and turned his head slightly.

The guards guarding the queen and grandson immediately showed their cold blades.

The grandson was young, and had never seen such a battle before, he was frightened for a moment and stiffened, and buried his head in the queen's arms.

The queen was not much better, her face was pale, her lips were tightly pressed together, and she dared not speak any more.

Time passed by minutes and seconds, I don't know how long it took, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and soon a soldier pushed the door and entered.

Go around the screen and go to the back.

"My lord, Prince Chen has arrived."

"En." The man lazily responded, stretched his waist, and stood up, "Go, do as I say."

The guard nodded, and then winked at both sides.

Several people around immediately stepped forward, forcibly pulled the queen and grandson apart, put the knife on their necks, and walked out of the room.

At the gate of the temple, behind Prince Chen was a team of ready-to-go troops in armor, it seemed that as long as he gave an order, Chengzhao Temple could be flattened.

On the other hand, inside the temple gate, there were only a few guards holding the queen and grandson hostage, and there seemed to be no other reinforcements.

The queen is in front, the grandson is behind, the gate of the courtyard is a little deeper, and it is night again, so it is impossible to see clearly what is going on now.

King Chen wanted to go forward, but saw the guard who was holding the grandson dragged him back a few steps.

"Father, Father, save me!"

Seeing a familiar person, Taisun cried out in fear.

But as soon as he struggled, the guard holding him tightened his blade, as if he could tear open his flesh and cut his throat in the next second.

"Don't move!" Chen Wang's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately shouted, "Don't be afraid, my father is here, don't be afraid."

After finishing speaking, his eyes searched for the person he wanted to find in the other party's crowd. After a while, he found nothing, and then he drank coldly.

"Who are you, dare to oppose this king, did you expect the consequences!"

"Your lord did something to force the palace, but did you expect the consequences?"

A slender figure walked out of the temple slowly, stopped beside the grandson, half hidden in the night, with a cold voice.

"Shen Qianwei, is that you? You are so daring!" Chen Wang yelled angrily, "Sure enough, sure enough, nothing happened to you, you can think about it, the fourth lady of the Su family is in the hands of this king, if you insist on doing this , I don’t mind taking her blood for surgery!”
