Chapter 252

"what?!"

The chief prisoner was shocked and exclaimed.

The little eunuch repeated again, "Master, the fifth prince has rebelled!"

There was a burst of chaotic footsteps approaching from far away. Everyone followed the sound and saw a large number of officers and soldiers rushing towards this direction. The leaders were none other than the fifth prince and the sixth prince.

Because the palace gate has been taken over by Jinyiwei, and the commander of Jinyiwei is from Shangguanzhi, their journey can be said to be smooth.

They came all the way to the outside of the king's bedchamber without any bloodshed.

"what--"

The palace maids and eunuchs guarding the entrance of the palace shouted in panic, and fled for their lives in a panic.

In the dormitory, when he heard the movement outside, the old doctor subconsciously shook his hands, and the silver needle pierced deeper, which made him sweat profusely.

But he didn't want to make a mistake and woke up the leader of Huashan Kingdom by accident.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The old doctor quickly helped him sit up.

"My lord, you finally woke up. The fifth prince led troops to surround the palace."

Hearing this, the leader of the Xiyue Kingdom was so angry that he coughed heartbreakingly again, almost to the point of being out of breath.

"Ahem, this bastard!"

Then he quickly asked the imperial doctor to help him walk to the desk, took out a blank imperial edict, and tremblingly picked up the pen and wrote something on it.

The old doctor was helping to grind the ink, and inadvertently glanced at the content on it. His face was first surprised, and then confused.

Outside the dormitory, looking at the large number of soldiers marching up the steps, the eunuch felt his calves trembling, but he pretended to be calm.

We must delay the old lady doctor for some more time!
With this thought in mind, he loudly questioned the two Shangguanzhi brothers.

"What are your two highnesses doing?!"

The index and middle fingers of Shangguan Zhi's left hand came together and traced across the sword.

"What are you going to do? Can't the supervisor see it?"

The chief inspector forced the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Fifth prince, you may not know that the third prince died suddenly at his residence after leaving the palace, the fourth prince was disabled, and the sixth prince was the closest to you. The throne is definitely yours."

"Why do you need to do this? If the scandal of patricide spreads, you will not be able to sit on the throne even if you ascend the throne!"

The sixth prince took a step forward with his sword in hand.

"Fifth brother, there is no need to talk nonsense with him, I will kill him right now!"

"Sixth brother, wait!" Shangguan Zhi stopped him, then looked at the eunuch and smiled meaningfully.

"What he said just now makes sense."

Hearing this, there was a hint of hope in the inspector's eyes.

Could it be that the fifth prince is giving up?

However, the next moment, his heart was filled with despair.

"The news tonight will definitely not be hidden from the world. It will be spread all over the world before tomorrow."

"But if my father's closest and most trusted eunuch comes forward and proves to me in public that my father indeed passed the throne to me, then others will no longer doubt anything."

"Okay Fifth Brother, I understand."

Shangguan Chang nodded and immediately waved behind him.

"Someone, arrest him!"

Being held tightly by two soldiers, the eunuch shouted at Shangguan Zhi.

"Fifth Prince, you killed your father to seize the throne. If word of what happened today spreads, you will definitely be placed on a pillar of shame and will be infamy for thousands of years!"

"Although the Zajia is an eunuch, he still has integrity and will never associate with traitors like you!"

“You’re bound to get uh uh uh…

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was gagged with a rag.

Shangguan Zhi didn't care and continued walking in. When he was approaching the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the gagged and struggling chief eunuch.

"There's one more thing I want to correct you on."

"You said that my father would definitely give this throne to me?"

He snorted coldly, "Does the eunuch, who is the most powerful person around my father, not know about that? It seems that the so-called confidants are nothing more than that!"

In the dormitory, the Lord of Xiyue handed the written imperial edict to the old doctor and gave quick instructions.

"Take this and leave through the secret passage quickly, and then go outside the capital..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a bang and the palace door was kicked open.

"I'm afraid it's too late, Father!"

Shangguan Zhi shouted and walked in first.

"Bold! You evildoer!"

The Lord of Xiyue glared at him.

"With so many people, do you want to kill the king?!"
