Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 584
After burying Xiaocui, the prince came to the palace, before his father.

At this moment, the emperor was lying on the bed dying. When he saw the prince coming, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was very sluggish, and he wanted to speak, but he was very weak because of taking a deep breath, and even the words he spoke were a little breathless. a feeling of.

"Prince..."

The prince looked at the face of the emperor, and he didn't walk forward as enthusiastically as usual.

After a lot of effort, the emperor raised his right hand and stretched it towards the prince standing in front of him.

Looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, the prince didn't go forward to take it, but just stood aside and looked at him coldly: "Father, you never thought you would have such a day, right?"

Hearing the tone of the prince's words, the emperor's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately put down his hand: "You... what do you mean?"

"What do you mean by this palace?" The crown prince sat down slowly by the emperor's bed, seeing his hair that had turned gray overnight, he couldn't help but sarcastically.

"Father, you have always liked to use trade-offs to restrict your princes and let them have all kinds of intrigues. However, you have calculated everything. Didn't you calculate that you would end up like this?"

The emperor didn't understand the end of what the prince said for a while, but he felt very angry after hearing what he said: "You... my father helped you to be the crown prince, how dare you say such a thing to my father? Outrageous words!"

Perhaps it was because he was too angry that the originally weak emperor said so many words in one breath.
After listening to his words, the prince didn't take it seriously: "Yes, I really want to thank you for this, my child will never forget, I have killed many brothers to get the position of prince and stabilize my position. Don't you know what attitude you have had towards my mother in recent years?"

It wasn't until this moment that the emperor realized that after so many years, the prince had actually been so resentful towards him.

When the prince buried Xiaocui, he also made a decision in his heart.

He had been hesitating before, whether to let the emperor die by himself, or to think of a way to help himself ascend to the position of prince in advance, and now he has a clear answer in his heart.

"Father, you know your own body!" The prince had a smile on his face, his tone seemed to be for the emperor's good, but the words he said made him feel extremely chilled.

"If you die sooner or later, you will die sooner or later. Why don't I help you?"

After hearing what the crown prince said, the emperor widened his eyes, looked at the murderous intent in her eyes, and quickly shouted: "Come here! Come here!"

But no matter how he shouted, no one listened to his words and entered the hall. At this moment, there were only him and Prince Ku in the hall.

Hearing the emperor's cry, the prince suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly: "Haha, father, see if anyone will come to rescue you. At this last journey, I still need your son to send you on your way."

As he said that, the prince lifted the quilt covering the emperor, trying to cover him, the emperor wanted to struggle, but he didn't have any strength at all, besides, he was so weak now that he had no strength at all.
Just when the prince was about to cover his face with the quilt, a person broke in from the outside.

"No...it's not good, prince, prince!"

Seeing him rushing in so recklessly, the prince immediately stopped what he was doing, stood up and scolded him angrily: "What's the matter so flustered?"

"Called... Called in..."

"What?" Upon hearing this sentence, the prince was very surprised, "What came in!"

The crown prince walked up directly and grabbed the guard's collar: "Speak clearly to me!"

"Gu...Ling...King Ling came in with his soldiers!"

When the guard said that person's name, the crown prince frowned. Isn't Gu Lingqing dead?In the letter... Gu Qi's letter was clearly written.

When he heard someone coming in just now, a thought flashed in the prince's mind for a moment, whether the army led by Gu Qi had come in, but he never expected it.It turned out to be Gu Lingqing.

What exactly is going on?Did you fall into the trap?Did Gu Qi betray him and seek refuge with Gu Lingqing, or Gu Lingqing killed Gu Qi and set up this situation for himself.

Even though the current crown prince is very flustered and doesn't understand the current situation, he can't help him to think deeply about it. Right now, taking Gu Lingqing down is imminent!
After the prince put on his battle clothes, he went out with his sword in hand and saw Shenyang Bei running over in a hurry, saying that Gu Lingqing had already attacked the gate of the palace.

Because there are not many defenses in the palace, because the prince would never have thought that someone would directly attack the imperial city, or even the palace, so blatantly, and the most terrible thing is that he has not got the soldier talisman in the hands of the emperor, the soldier talisman , I don’t know where it was hidden by that old bastard!

Therefore, the people led by Gu Lingqing quickly approached the palace and arrived at the Guangming Palace where the prince is now.

Wearing battle armor and holding a saber, the crown prince walked out of the Guangming Palace following Shen Yang, looking at Gu Lingqing and the Yulin army who had been leveled behind him, he couldn't help but tremble a little.

He knew that the overall situation was settled, and he didn't have many available people, and some of them were only a few dozen imperial forest soldiers left in the Guangming Palace.

Gu Lingqing looked at the prince who was standing not far away. The two of them looked at each other from a distance. Neither of them spoke first. They just looked at each other, and they could see the hostility in each other's eyes.

These two people are obviously old enemies, either you die or I die, it is their destined ending.

"Stop making unnecessary resistance."

After a long time, Gu Lingqing looked at the prince who was still pointing at her with a saber in front of her, and she couldn't help showing a bit of disdain in her eyes.

At this moment, Gu Lingqing exuded the victor's attitude all over her body.

The prince looked at Gu Lingqing's expression and heard what he said, and he was very angry in his heart, but the facts before him had to admit that no matter how hard he fought, he would still be stubborn.

Thinking of this, the prince slowly withdrew the saber in his hand.

And just when the prince put the accompanying sword into the scabbard, he let out a muffled snort.

Feeling the pain on his back, the prince turned his head and looked at Shenyang Bei who had inserted the sword into his waist, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

Shen Yangbei looked at him, with a flash of guilt in his eyes, but in order to protect himself, he still made such a choice.

Afterwards, Shen Yangbei pulled out his sword, kicked him aside, said sorry in his heart, and then knelt down in the direction of Gu Lingqing.

"The traitor has been captured!"
