Chapter 259 The Prince's Rebellion
Chapter 259 The Prince’s Rebellion (Second Update)
Emperor Tianshun’s imperial study was very wide. At this time, Emperor Tianshun and the Empress stood together, Rong Xuan and Gu Bai were on one side, and the eldest princess stood in the middle.
There were dozens of black-clothed secret guards guarded on both sides, holding swords in their hands, covered in bloodthirsty murderous aura.
On the other side were several Eastern Palace servants who were seriously injured but resisted stubbornly.
A man was kneeling behind Wu Tie Guard. He was wearing a green robe and a bright arrow feather inserted into his chest. At this time, he was covering his wound, lips, neck, clothes, and the ground was covered with bright red blood.
Nalanjing's frown tightened even more.
Rong Xuan noticed Nalan Jing who came in and reached out to bring her beside him.
Before Nalanjing could ask what was going on, he heard a plop, the queen knelt down, and a sad voice rang in the hall.
The queen suddenly knelt in front of Emperor Tianshun and the eldest princess and begged: "Your Majesty, elder sister, please give Ping'er a chance. Ping'er is definitely not intending to rebel. Someone must have framed him. Please ask Your Majesty and the eldest princess to give him a chance and don't force him anymore, otherwise he will really die!"
rebellion?
Shock flashed across Nalan Jing's face. How could Gu Changping's personality rebellion?
Rong Xuan held her shock in her eyes and explained in a magnetic and hoarse voice: "The prince bribed the close servant who served His Majesty, poisoned His Majesty's tea, and asked him to see him late at night, and led someone to force the palace to ask His Majesty to write abdication edict."
The prince and the queen are mother and son. The mother is seriously ill and there is nothing suspicious about serving the son on the bed.
Nalan Jing faintly understood the profound meaning of Emperor Tianshun's arrangement, and looked at Gu Changping who was supported by Wu Tie on the ground, with an unbearable look on his eyes.
Gu Changping looked at Nalan Jing with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Now that Daliang is pressing step by step, he takes the trick...
"For her, would you rather give up the position of crown prince and the entire Gu Dynasty?" Emperor Tianshun asked again.
"Son of the Emperor, son of the Emperor..." The queen stretched out her hand in grief and wanted to crawl towards him.
Gu Changping is not stupid, how could he not know what Nalan Jing expects of him? He hopes that he can be the crown prince of the Southern Chu, but he does not want him to be raised by the Liu family to become a mediocre and incompetent puppet, which will encourage him to study hard and practice martial arts.
Indeed, Gu Changping was appointed as the crown prince because he was the legitimate descendant and the only adult son of Emperor Tianshun. The intention to establish the crown prince was the consideration of Emperor Tianshun and the eldest princess agreed.
So that's it, so that's it...
"My son is willing..." he said, kowtowing deeply.
Nalan Jing looked at Emperor Tianshun and the eldest princess.
Crown Prince Gu Changping announced the imperial physician, temporarily stayed in the palace to recuperate, and claimed to serve the seriously ill queen in the palace.
Nalan Jing watched him being carried down. Before leaving, Wu Tie knelt down at her, then got up and hurriedly chased her out.
Something flashed through Nalan Jing's heart. When he looked at the expression in Emperor Tianshun's eyes, he couldn't bear it but felt decisive.
Gu Changping raised his head from the ground. The handsome face, which was quiet and timid in the past, had changed at some point. At this time, the corner of his lips also smiled with blood in his mouth: "Father, I really like Qingzi, you can help me."
Nalan Jing stared at Gu Changping in a daze. She was worried that Gu Changping had been coerced to do such a ruthless thing.
He was sad that he finally let down too many expectations, father, mother, her...
Because of the situation, it was also from the Central Palace that he was pushed to the position of Prince of the Eastern Palace.
Gu Changping is the fourth son of Emperor Tianshun, but compared to the third prince who has passed away, who is extremely talented and wise and decisive, the fourth prince follows Emperor Tianshun's character. He attaches importance to family affection, love and righteousness, and has no ambitions.
But he doesn't want this position.
But this crown prince doesn't want this position.
Emperor Tianshun asked the queen to help him return to the palace to cultivate. Without his will, he would not step out of the palace gate, nor would anyone visit him.
How could the court allow a prince who killed his father to be the future monarch?
Emperor Tianshun said, "Okay."
"Queen, get up for me!" Emperor Tianshun drank the poisonous tea, even though the imperial doctor had temporarily suppressed the toxicity with the medicine, the remaining poison in his body still made his face turn blue and his body shaking. He looked at the kneeling queen without blaming her for being ineffective in teaching, only deep helplessness.
"Do you really like the Third Princess Daliang so much?" Emperor Tianshun asked in a deep voice.
She turned around and looked at Gu Changping behind Wu Tie. At this moment, she suddenly stopped anxious. There was only one mother who cared about her child: "Ping'er, you were wrong, you were wrong. Now I admit my mistake with His Majesty and the eldest princess, and let the imperial doctor pull the arrow first, okay?"
"It was the commander who noticed something was wrong and summoned the Imperial Guards to surround the imperial study. My mother and I rushed into the palace after getting the news, and then we saved His Majesty from them."
The queen grabbed Emperor Tianshun's arm and cried and begged him to give Gu Changping another chance.
He said nothing and helped the queen on the ground.
As if he noticed her gaze, Gu Changping looked up at Nalan Jing, grinned and said with difficulty: "Princess, sorry, I have let you down."
Gu Changping covered the wound on his chest and tried his best to stop the blood from being lost, but his head was getting heavier and he knew he could not hold on.
Sure enough, both of them looked darker.
This worship was Emperor Tianshun and the Empress, and he finally failed everyone's expectations.
Gu Changping is not deep in his capital, has little ambition, and values love and friendship. How could he commit a rebellion to murder his father?
But Gu Changping suddenly pushed Wu Tie away in front of him, looked at the kneeling queen on the ground, then looked up at Emperor Tianshun and Princess Tian, and knelt on the ground with a thump. A hoarse voice sounded: "Father, Queen Mother, I know my mistake, and I ask my father to depose the position of Prince of the son."
After today's incident, no matter what Gu Changping's outcome is, he cannot be the heir to the throne.
Nalanjing saw the imperial doctor coming in with a medicine box, and while examining his wound, he reminded him urgently: "Your Highness, stop talking, I will stop bleeding for you first."
Nalanjing murmured, “How could this happen?”
The queen seemed to understand it, and tears fell in a bunch of tears, crying even harder.
The queen knelt on the ground, burst into tears, and kept shaking her head at him, hoping that he could wake up in time, stop the horse and turn back...
Nalan Jing also noticed that Gu Bai, who was behind Emperor Tianshun, wanted to take action, but was stopped by Emperor Tianshun.
But he is not suitable for that position after all.
Nalan Jing has never been a fragile person, but Gu Changping made her feel compassion and let her follow.
But he was stopped outside the bedroom gate by the imperial guards.
Gu Changping was confined, and everything inside and outside the palace was under strict vigilance. Any abnormal movements would be killed.
Nalan Jing looked at the brightly lit palace and thought of Gu Changping's painfully struggling face, and stood there for a long time without moving.
