That night, the capital was turned upside down!

The second prince led the Imperial Army Zuoying into the palace to serve the king, and many courtiers also entered the palace. The current situation is unknown.

The three brothers, the prince and the Chen family, disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown.

The mansion of former prince Yang Yunzhao was surrounded like a tortoise shell. People outside could not get in, and people inside could not get out.

When the news spread, there was an uproar in the Pingxi Army camp. Many people roared to break into the palace to rescue His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince. The elite of the army had begun to assemble...

After hearing the sound of swords and weapons last night, the common people huddled at home wherever they dared to go out, waiting for news from outside.

There has been no news from outside.

In the palace, Yang Yunqi almost exploded on the spot: "What did you say? Yuxi was taken away by that traitor Yang Chenghou?!"

"That's the imperial seal. You're still alive. How could you give it to him?"

"He forced you, didn't he?"

"You were obviously fine two days ago, why did you suddenly become like this?"

"Even if I wrote it, without the jade seal, others wouldn't believe it!"

"Are you acting to lie to me?" Yang Yunqi scurried back and forth beside the dragon bed angrily.

As the second prince spoke, he suddenly drew his knife and put it on the neck of the great eunuch: "Then you come! You are usually the one who drafts my father's edicts, so you can write them!"

It looked like he was really in a bad mood at the time, but he didn't expect to be so bad at that time!
"Then...that's you!"

In this case, even if he kills the emperor and ascends the throne by force, he will still be criticized. Those brothers will not be convinced, and there will be endless battles ahead!

The second prince gritted his teeth and led the people out with a knife in hand. Most of the rebels in the dormitory were suddenly reduced!

The second prince glared at the first eunuch, knowing that what he said was the truth: the day before yesterday, because the prince was accepting an heir, His Majesty the Emperor was present, but left midway.

But he is not willing to give in!

As he spoke, the sound of gold and iron clashing came from far to near.

"Father, as long as you admit that he forced you to write an imperial edict to pass the throne, it doesn't matter even if there is no jade seal... just write it!"

Because he used to be the prince, but now the prince is missing again, many forbidden soldiers took the initiative to switch sides and laid down their weapons...

The eunuch next to him was trembling: "When your Majesty was hosting a banquet for officials the day before yesterday, he felt unwell and left the banquet early. When he came back, he lay down..."

At this moment, chaos suddenly broke out again outside, and a close aide of the second prince came to report: the former prince Yang Ynzhao led his bodyguards to rush in!

The second prince has been walking in front of the imperial court for a long time, so he naturally knows the rules here.

What he wants is a stable world, not endless bloody battles.

The eldest eunuch was trembling all over and knelt down: "Second Prince, how can I do that?"

His Majesty the Emperor Yang Chenghao, who was leaning on the bed, looked gloomy, his limbs were weak, and he laughed miserably: "How can I still write a pen when I'm like this now..."

The great eunuch raised his eyes, met the emperor's cloudy eyes, and clearly saw a hint of disappointment in the emperor's eyes.

He finally fought off the prince's men and broke into the palace, only to find that the jade seal was not there. The emperor was seriously ill and unable to write.

The eldest eunuch wiped away his tears and carefully comforted him: "Your Majesty, maybe the eldest prince came specifically to save your majesty?"

His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes slumped and said lightly: "I hope so."

The sound of gold and iron clashing outside finally stopped, the door of the dormitory was pushed open again, and the two rebels in the hall were quickly captured. The former prince Yang Yunzhao knelt down in front of the emperor's bed, his whole body in a mess: "Father, the child's rescue came too late, please forgive me!"

His Majesty the Emperor's weak voice sounded: "Zhao'er, you led the army in and killed your second emperor brother?"

Yang Yunchao shook his head: "Only my father is qualified to decide who deserves to die and who does not deserve to die. I only had my second brother tied up and did not take his life."

His Majesty the Emperor took a deep look at his kneeling son: "Then what do you want me to do now? Write a succession edict?"

Yang Yunchao shook his head again: "I didn't mean that."

"I don't know where the Crown Prince is now. I thought the palace was peaceful, so he will definitely come back as soon as possible to protect my father."

"Then you risked beheading and brought people in just to tie up your second emperor brother?"

Yang Yunchao raised his head and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor, as if he was hesitant to speak.

His Majesty the Emperor gave a wry smile: "Just say what you have to say. I don't know if I can survive today. If you don't say something, I may not have the chance to listen to it in the future."

Yang Yunchao seemed to be encouraged, and he mustered up the courage to say: "I want my father to give me a fiefdom, so that I can be an idle prince in the future and spend my life peacefully."

"Oh?"

His Majesty the Emperor was obviously surprised. Even the chief eunuch was also surprised. He looked at Yang Ynzhao and then at His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a while, and then he smiled inexplicably: "What's the matter? Your second emperor brother was captured by you, and your uncle, the crown prince, is alive and dead. Now you are the only one beside me..."

"The throne is within your reach, are you willing to give it up?"

If it was so easy to give up, why bother drugging each other in the first place? !
Yang Yunchao pursed his lips and simply chose to be honest: "I was tempted, but Sect Master Xiao once told me that if you don't seek death, you won't die, and if you seek death, you will definitely die."

"In the past, I only thought that my father was my king and the emperor of great cause..."

"My father asked me to serve you a few days ago. I follow my father every day. For the first time, I feel that my father is like my father."

"Something touched me..."

"After I went back, I thought about it for a long time and felt that what she said made sense, so I let it go."

His Majesty the Emperor was silent: Regardless of whether what his son said was true or not, his statement at this moment still moved the Emperor.

He released Yang Yunzhao this time just to test whether his son was law-abiding and whether he could keep him.

Unexpectedly, at a critical moment, he led his personal guards into the palace to rescue him, but he did not ask to resume his status as prince. He just wanted a fiefdom and be an idle prince.

After thinking this, His Majesty the Emperor sighed and winked at the eunuch.

The chief eunuch immediately went to wait outside the door.

"Don't you regret it? After this time, there will be no chance in the future!" His Majesty the Emperor asked again.

"No regrets!" Yang Yunzhao's heart was bleeding, but his will was miraculously firm.

His Majesty the Emperor then said to Yang Yunzhao: "My father is very touched that you have such a heart. When your uncle, the Crown Prince, comes back, I will ask him to issue an edict and make you the King of Shu, right?"

The land of Shu was originally the fiefdom of the second prince, but the second prince wanted to rebel if he failed to live up to expectations, so the fiefdom could not be saved.

"Thank you so much, Father!" Yang Yunchao kowtowed violently, stood up and asked with a salivated face, "Now, I'll just stay here with Father and serve you, okay?"

"Yes." His Majesty the Emperor nodded reservedly.

At this moment, the sound of gold and iron clashing came from outside again. Yang Yunchao stood up in shock and looked outside. (End of chapter)
