King Xian recalled the scene when Prime Minister Li found him. At that time, he never expected that he would hear such explosive news.
The eldest emperor brother would actually come up with such a seemingly clever method, but it would have endless consequences. If he really gave the handle to him and he didn't use it, wouldn't it be a waste?
Prince Rui was startled, and his palms instantly broke into cold sweat, but he pretended to be calm.
"What do you mean? Don't you have eyesight? How dare you question the identity of the prince!"
"Brother, please stop pretending. If he is really the prince, he should be able to take out the prince's seal and show it to us, right?"
Prince Rui clenched his hands tightly behind his back. He didn't know how these people knew that he was not the real Xilingyu.
But now is not the time to think about this. He can only delay for time and wait for his people to rescue him.
It's just that Prince Rui didn't know that the masters in his palace had already gone after the "thieves" who broke into the palace, and they didn't know what was happening in the palace at this moment.
"Come here, protect His Highness the Crown Prince."
The imperial army followed the order and moved to protect King Rui and the prince beside him. After all, in their eyes, this Xilingyu could not be seen as fake.
Prime Minister Li stepped forward, held up a roll of edicts, slowly unfolded it, and read it out.
"Prince Rui covets the position of the crown prince and substitutes falsehood for truth. Everyone will get it and kill him. Prince Xilingyu writes it himself!"
When the commander of the imperial army saw the bright red seal, he was shocked and turned around to look at the prince behind him.
Prime Minister Li shouted:
"We haven't captured King Rui and the counterfeit goods he found yet!"
The commander of the imperial army only thought for a moment before turning the tip of his sword towards King Rui.
"Take it!"
No matter how strong Prince Rui was before, if he committed such a serious crime of treason in front of all the civil and military officials today, it was already over.
"Let's see who dares!"
King Rui showed his usual momentum.
"The prince's seal has been stolen! The real prince is here, and you don't recognize him, only a dead thing! How ridiculous?"
"snort."
Prime Minister Li snorted coldly and walked up to the prince. He reached out and touched his face. Prince Rui watched his movements from the side with deep eyes and did not stop him.
And the little prince, although his body was trembling slightly, did not move away.
The pride on Prime Minister Li's face gradually faded and turned solemn. He turned his gaze from Prince Rui's face to the little prince's face and looked at it carefully.
He touched his hair again, and his heartbeat gradually became chaotic. What was going on? Could it be that Jun Lingyun had lied to him?
This time it was King Rui's turn to snort coldly.
"Prime Minister Li, can you see clearly? Is he the prince?"
Seeing this, the wise king pushed away Prime Minister Li who was already stunned, and went to look for it himself. After searching for a long time, all the civil and military officials behind them were waiting anxiously.
The wise king then straightened up and looked at Prime Minister Li with a puzzled expression. What's going on? Didn't Prime Minister Li swear that the prince in the palace was a fake?
How fake is this? This skin is clearly the product of his father and mother, and there is no trace of disguise at all!
Jun Lingyun, who was hiding on the roof of the palace and peeking, also frowned slightly, unable to figure out the key.
He gestured to Bai Xiao and asked him to bring Xiling Yu into the palace.
He originally didn't want Xilingyu to show up, but now it seems that not showing up is no longer an option. He needs to deal with Prince Rui first.
The commander of the imperial army no longer knew who to listen to. Prime Minister Li and King Xian came with great fanfare and could not easily retreat.
After retreating this time, Prince Rui took advantage of him. Where can he find a way to survive in the future?
It would be better to ignore the situation and capture Prince Rui first. Anyway, outside the palace, they still have General Xu Guang to back them up.
Since everything is reasonable, it is harder than fists. If King Rui is allowed to escape this time and be prepared, the masters in his house are not vegetarians.
The two parties were locked in a standoff when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the ministers.
"The Crown Prince of Xizhao Kingdom, Xiling Yu, is here with the crown prince seal. In the name of the crown prince given by my father, I order you to capture the rebellious Prince Rui and kill him without mercy!"
Xilingyu's chest rose and fell, but his voice was as steady as possible.
All the courtiers present, including King Xian and Prime Minister Li, were completely shocked, looking left and right.
"Are these two people exactly the same?"
"How come there are two His Royal Highnesses?"
It was unclear whether the prince's seal had been stolen or whether the prince himself had been counterfeited.
Under such an impact, no one naturally cared. There was a strange guard beside Xilingyu.
King Rui's eyes were about to burst.
"He is the fake one who stole the crown prince's seal!"
Everyone looked at King Rui and cursed speechlessly.
Prince Rui, are you serious? This seven or eight-year-old child in front of you? The thief who stole the crown prince's seal? How did you connect the two?
The Xian Wang walked to Xiling Yu who was holding the big seal and looked at it carefully. No! There was also no trace of disguise!
Who can tell him what is going on?
Prime Minister Li suddenly felt blessed and shouted:
"Since the two look exactly the same, the one holding the prince's seal must be the real prince. There is no need to doubt it! If he lost the prince's seal? Is he still worthy of being a prince? This kind of rhetoric is simply ridiculous! I respectfully respect the order of His Highness the Crown Prince! Execution
Kill the rebels!”
Prime Minister Li took the lead and knelt down to salute like Xiling Yu. The courtiers who were originally on Prime Minister Li's side naturally knelt down and shouted like a loud bell:
"Your Majesty, I will obey the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince! Kill the rebels!"
In this way, we are back to the situation at the beginning. Which side can win depends solely on how the commander of the Forbidden Army chooses.
They didn't want General Xu Guang to enter the palace unless they had to. What if General Xu took the opportunity to bite them back and declare himself king?
The best situation is for the Forbidden Army to come forward and strangle King Rui!
The commander of the Forbidden Army has always only protected the emperor's lineage, and at this time it was somewhat unclear what was true and what was false.
At this time, King Rui began to induce:
"As long as you help me this time, I will definitely record your merits and reward you according to your merits when the prince ascends the throne!"
The wise king sneered.
"Brother, your anger will be repaid. My younger brother knows very well. They have offended you today, and you are talking so wildly at the moment. In the future, you will definitely settle the score, right?"
"You! I will do what I say!"
King Rui gritted his teeth and spat out the words, but King Xian sarcastically replied.
"Oh, if you do what you say, then you are still the eldest brother?
Some people in the Forbidden Army have quietly taken a few steps back. Since the commander has not given an order, it is not an exaggeration for them to stay out of the matter, right?
The commander of the imperial army personally came forward and inspected the two princes, but still could not tell the difference.
If he, like his subordinates, stays out of things today, no matter who takes the throne in the future, he will be useless.
For the sake of his own future, the commander of the imperial army made up his mind and knelt down in front of Xilingyu who had the prince's seal.
"Your Majesty, I will obey the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince! Kill the rebels!"
Prince Rui was shocked, but all the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, the overall situation was decided.
"kill!"
The commander of the imperial army gave an order, and King Rui was instantly overwhelmed by the imperial army, and all he could hear was the sound of swords.
And Prince Rui’s useless roar:
"You are brave! None of them are qualified to inherit the throne. They are..."
