Chapter 70 Incident in the palace, the puppet emperor!
"My lord, my subordinates are not doing well, so more than a dozen people in the convoy escaped." In the lord's mansion, a man with sword eyebrows walked into the room and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.

"A group of idiots, you can't handle such a trivial matter." Patting the armrest of the chair, the Eighth Prince scolded angrily.

"Please forgive me, my lord!"

"Now is the time for employing people. Keep your head first. If you can't pay off your merits, it's not a matter of beheading you."

The Eighth Prince's words are obvious, if he can't make amends, his family will be affected.The man replied sonorously without any hesitation: "Yes, the subordinates will definitely do their best!"

"Get back!"

The Eighth Prince waved his hand, and the man stepped back.

"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is here!"

Following a report, the sixth prince Lang Jun went straight into the house, greeted the Eighth Prince's uncle and nephew, and then walked into the study.

"Uncle Ba, have the troops been mobilized yet?" Lang Jun asked impatiently as soon as he entered the study.

"Don't worry, Your Highness Sixth Prince, I've already contacted General Lobini. Fifty thousand cavalry elite soldiers are waiting for orders and can start an incident at any time. The key is whether the manpower arrangements in the palace are properly arranged." He gave him a reassuring look. However, the Eighth Prince is relatively quiet. After all, he is an old fox for decades, and he is not as restless as Lang Jun.

"I have arranged five hundred knives and axemen in the palace, and I can enlarge the army to enter the palace at any time."

"Will the news be revealed?"

"They are all confidantes who have always followed me, and they never dared to betray me."

"Well, you go back to the palace and arrange everything. I will wait for orders to surround the palace at any time. Don't worry about the Sixth Prince."

"Okay, I'll go back to the palace right away!" A gloomy look flashed in his eyes, with a vicious look on his face, the sixth prince got up and left.

After a moment of silence, Tie Yan, a man wearing an iron mask, suddenly appeared behind the Eighth Prince, with a sinister smile on his lips. : "This kid is very ambitious and has a very poisonous mind, isn't the Eighth Prince afraid that he won't be able to catch him?"

"Hmph, Mao hasn't grown up yet, so what right do you have to play tricks with me? He's just a puppet, and I'm the ruler of Dongsang Kingdom." He snorted contemptuously, and the Eighth Prince was full of disdain for Lang Jun.He has crossed more bridges than he has walked, will he surrender to a brat?

The sixth prince Lang Jun returned to the palace in a hurry, came to the harem to find his concubine and mother, waved back and said: "Mother, you are serving the father tonight, you must be clean."

"Jun'er, I'm afraid, but he is your biological father?" The imperial concubine trembled involuntarily when she heard this.Obviously very scared.

"Don't you want to see your son submit to Lang Ya forever? Don't you want your son to be the emperor? Don't you want to be the empress dowager you've always dreamed of?" Lang Jun can't tolerate making mistakes now.

"But, I..." I clenched my hands tightly, the palms were already covered with sweat, the imperial concubine's eyes were very dazed and helpless.To poison the emperor is not only killing one's own man, but also a crime of regicide, punishing the nine clans.

"Mother, the medicine is colorless and tasteless, it will be fine." As he comforted the imperial concubine, Lang Jun actually pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. : "As long as that old thing dies, the queen mother will be the empress dowager above ten thousand people, and Jun'er will treat you well."

The imperial concubine didn't struggle, she looked up at her son, holding his face with one hand, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. : "For the sake of Jun'er, the queen mother is not afraid."

Rudely biting the concubine's mouth, Lang Jun skillfully stripped off her clothes, hugged her horizontally, opened the curtains, and fell on the bed together.Clothes were thrown out one by one, and after a while, the big bed covered with hibiscus curtains creaked and shook.

I scolded the neighbor next door and made a mess.Len!

"It's not good, the emperor is dead!"

The chief eunuch's voice was as unpleasant as a duck being choked, but the news that came out of his mouth was shocking, the emperor had died!

Soon, the news spread throughout the palace, and the palace seemed to have lost its backbone, and it was in chaos.Hearing the news, Lang Ya rushed to the bedroom as quickly as possible, checked the father who was lying on the bed, and confirmed that he had passed away.With trembling lips, he yelled at the eunuch: "What are you doing in a daze? Send it to the imperial physician!"

The eunuch was so frightened that he staggered, almost collapsed to the ground, and hurriedly stumbled out of the bedroom.

"Royal father, royal father" Before he entered the room, the voice of the sixth prince Lang Jun had already entered the room, and then he was seen rushing into the room, throwing himself on the bed and shouting, dying, I don't know where to squeeze Two tears came out.

"Father was fine yesterday, why did he pass away suddenly?" Lang Ya cried for a while, was persuaded by the people around him, and then asked, wiping away his tears.

"It's not clear yet, the diagnosis can only be made when the imperial doctor comes." Lang Jun's eyes were red, but he held back his tears.As the prince, he has to keep a clear head now.

Not long after, the imperial doctor hurried into the bedroom, checked the emperor's condition, then took out the medicine box from the interspatial ring, fed pills and checked his body, he was busy for a long time.When he stood up, he shook his head to Lang Ya and Lang Jun and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being helpless, the emperor has died for a long time, and I am afraid that even the genius doctor can't save him, please arrange the funeral."

"What did you say? Impossible, how could the emperor die?" Lang Jun pulled the imperial doctor's collar and roared hoarsely.

"My condolences, Your Highness Sixth Prince." The imperial doctor hurriedly said, his old bones were almost shaken apart.

"Sixth brother, stop!" The imperial doctor is a fourth-rank alchemist, with an extremely noble status, and in the palace, he is the object of courtiers' fawning, how could Lang Ya hurt him? : "The most important thing now is to find out the cause of father's death, may I ask if you can find out the cause of father's death?" The latter sentence was asked to the imperial doctor.

"Return to His Royal Highness, the emperor should have passed away last night, no cause was found, it may be caused by addiction in the body." The imperial doctor replied respectfully.

The death of the emperor soon alarmed all civil and military officials, and the whole country mourned.

When the emperor's death became a fact, people had to accept the reality, and what followed was that the emperor died too suddenly, leaving no last words at all, and the matter of ascension to the throne became the object of discussion among civil and military officials.

Hundreds of officials, civil and military, gathered together, and there were many lawsuits, all discussing the important issue that the country cannot live without a king.Because the first emperor had no will, the civil and military officials were immediately divided into two factions. One side supported the sixth prince Lang Jun, and the other side supported the prince Lang Ya. The tension was full of gunpowder.

"It's not good, it's not good, outside, a large number of officers and soldiers have attacked outside the palace." Just as civil and military officials were fighting fiercely, a guard rushed in and shouted loudly, which shocked everyone and caused an uproar .

"What's going on?" Lang Ya didn't dare to mess up at this moment, he got up and shouted at the guard.

"Subordinates, subordinates dare not say."

"Just say what you say, and you will not be condemned."

"Yes, a large number of officers and soldiers outside attacked the palace under the banner of attacking His Highness the Crown Prince." He lowered his head and said in horror.

"Who opened the palace gate?" Lang Ya asked angrily.

"Subordinates don't know."

Crown Prince Lang Ya immediately glared angrily, and jumped up against the case, ignoring all civil and military officials, and ordered: "The general of the imperial guards obeys the order, summon all the imperial guards in the palace, and go out with me to wipe out the rebels!"

"Yes!" The two soldiers of the imperial guard who originally supported Lang Ya hurried away in response.

When Lang Ya left the court hall, civil and military officials began to discuss and make a commotion, and the sixth prince Lang Jun, who was sitting next to the dragon chair, had an imperceptible smile on his face.

Along the way, Cheng Cheng took Tang Tang back to the Forbidden Martial City, and once he returned to the city, he brought little Lolita back to the City Lord's Mansion.But An Lianqi and Shangguan Feifei were going back to the palace, so they separated from them halfway.

Tang Jiarong, the current lord of Forbidden Martial City, was overjoyed when he saw him and his daughter come back, and immediately asked someone to hold a banquet for them to clean up the dust.When he heard his daughter talk about what happened on the road, his face turned green and pale, and he felt terrified. If something happened to his precious daughter, he would probably be able to kill him and go to Dongsang country.
