Sickish Prince is Scheming - C334
King Xuan walked into the imperial study and bowed respectfully towards the emperor. “Nephew greets the emperor, Greetings Royal Father.”
“Rise.”
The emperor was still holding a pawn in his hand as he asked with a smile, “King Xuan, why did you come to the palace so late at night? “What business do you have with me?”
“Reporting to the emperor, the reason my nephew came to the palace wasn’t to look for the emperor, but to look for my father.”
“Royal brother, look at how filial your son is to you. I heard that you were in the palace and had come here looking for you. I am so envious of you.” The emperor stopped the chess pieces in his hands and joked with his elder brother.
Prince Yu didn’t care about the Emperor’s mockery at all. Instead, he asked King Xuan, “Third brother, why have you come to the palace today to look for me?”
“Reporting to royal father, this son came here today to ask royal father to help me appraise something.” King Xuan’s expression was calm, without the sense of urgency that a storm was brewing. He was casual and indifferent.
“What is it?” Prince Yu asked, puzzled.
“This …” King Xuan courteously said, “Father, please go personally to take a look.”
Prince Yu stroked his beard as he leisurely sipped some tea. “Third brother, didn’t you see that your father was playing chess with the emperor?”
“This …” King Xuan astonishingly lowered his head and did not speak again.
The emperor couldn’t bear to see this. “Royal brother, there are plenty of opportunities to play chess with me. If you see King Xuan enter the palace to find you, then you can help him see what’s going on. Let’s play chess after that.”
Hearing the emperor say so, Prince Yu finally stood up and glanced at his son. “Alright, this subject will accompany King Xuan.”
Seeing this, King Xuan quickly led the way and led Prince Yu out of the royal study.
“Third brother, where are you taking father?” Prince Yu asked in confusion. He saw King Xuan leading him in a series of twists and turns, as if he was walking in the direction of the buddhist hall.
The smile on King Xuan’s face faded. “Royal father, just follow your son in and take a look.” As he was speaking, he did not stay idle and soon arrived in front of the buddhist hall. The eunuch on duty quickly opened the door.
“Father, please come in.”
When Prince Yu arrived here, he suddenly felt a very ominous feeling. Although it was only a buddhist hall, under the candlelight, the Buddha statue was already in a daze, adding to the strangeness. He somewhat unhappily asked, “Boss, didn’t you say that you had something to show Father? Take it out.”
“Father, please take a look.” King Xuan clapped his hands. Someone had long since brought up the tray that he had prepared. “Open it.”
When Prince Yu looked at it, he saw a tray with a dragon robe and a tray with a crown. He could not help but ask with a pale face, “What is this? “Do you want to rebel?
“Father, you haven’t lost your sight yet, you can still see it clearly.” King Xuan sneered.
“Bastard, don’t you know that you have to kill the enemy?” King Yu was shocked and annoyed by King Xuan’s actions. “Quickly stop, don’t do any more evil!”
King Xuan picked up the ninth marquis and carelessly played with it. He said indifferently, “Your Majesty has sat on the Dragon Throne for too long. It’s time for Your Highness to let me sit on it.”
“Ol ‘Three, are you really planning to rebel?” Prince Yu didn’t expect that King Xuan would bring all these items here so blatantly. It seemed that he had already planned something for a long time.
King Xuan did not even look at Prince Yu and continued, “You have four sons, but you have never treated me with respect. Ning Wang was arrogant and arrogant, but because he was the eldest son and wanted to push him into the position of crown prince, he was already half-crazy and half-foolish by me, so he had no choice but to live out the rest of his life; King Dingdang was mediocre and also valued by you, but now he has died in my hands; even your youngest son, Prince Rong, has a weak and sickly body since he was young, and has not even been able to accomplish anything, and you’re very fond of him. Well, you pampered him, poisoned him, and in the end you found a royal concubine who was proficient in medicine, and even cured the poison in his body. What’s even more infuriating is that you encouraged the Emperor to make him his crown prince and wanted him to go on a expedition to the Kingdom of Dongyu in order to establish his prestige. When did you care about my third son? I am the great King Xuan, and in terms of intelligence, I am no less than them. You have always turned a blind eye to me! ” At this point, King Xuan raised his head, glanced at his father, and laughed mockingly, “It was all because of you guys that I was so unrestrained and attached to fireworks. It was just an act, I’ve never given up on my desire for imperial power, do you know how much I desire this throne?”
Prince Yu’s face turned pale when he heard this. He swallowed hard, unable to speak. He didn’t think that King Xuan hated him so much. In fact, he had doted on his four sons quite a bit. Since Ning Wang was the eldest son and the eldest son of the family, he valued him a little; King Ding’s ability was a bit inferior to his four sons, but he was meticulous in his actions, so he was able to take care of his responsibilities; Prince Rong had always been weak since he was young and had always lived a life without conflict, moreover, he died shortly after his birth. However, Prince Yu would never have thought that his sons’ deaths, madness, and illness were all due to the evil scheme of King Xuan. They were all siblings, so how could he possibly act against them? Thinking up to here, Prince Yu wiped away his tears and said with a trembling voice, “Third brother, are you dealing with all of your blood brothers? In royal father’s heart, you are all equal. How can you say that about your father? ”
“I’ve had enough!” Duke Xuan widened his eyes and swept his hazy gaze across Prince Yu’s face. His voice suddenly rose, “You don’t have to put on an act in front of me. Besides number four, I don’t think much of anyone else … Even if Fourth Bro comes back now, it’s probably too late! ”
“Ol ‘Three, you have to do this, don’t you?” Prince Yu felt very angry. When he heard his son list out the crimes of killing his other brothers, Prince Yu first felt grief, then anger, an incomparable rage!
“Royal father, don’t yell so loudly. The reason I brought you here today is because of us father and son. I don’t want to embarrass you too much!” Xuan King said with a threatening tone and put the crown on his head. He laughed sinisterly as he asked: “Royal father, do you think I would look good if I wore this crown?”
Prince Yu could no longer contain his anger and cursed loudly, “Are you worthy?”
King Xuan’s face suddenly changed. “I’m not worthy? Could he be crazy? Or was it the dead King’s wife? And your most unpromising young son, Rong Wang-bai? ”
“No matter how weak they are, they have never persecuted their brothers like you. From this king’s point of view, they are all more worthy of this crown than you!” Prince Yu huffed and huffed as he paled. This Emperor Xuan must have gone mad. Only someone who had gone insane could do such a thing.
“I only speak to you like you’re my father. Don’t make me angry!” King Xuan squinted at his father. Before he came, he had already made a decision. If his father was willing to cooperate, perhaps he would let him off. If he was stubborn, he wouldn’t show mercy either!
Prince Yu was so angry that he didn’t even hear what King Xuan said. To be exact, he threw caution to the wind after knowing how King Xuan dealt with his other sons. He stood up and shouted, “I am your father. You dare to say such words to me, do you still treat me as your father?”
King Xuan laughed coldly, “No, I want, force, move, move!”
