Chapter 752 It's too late to regret

Duke Ding and others looked at each other in surprise. Seeing Emperor Jing Hong's current miserable situation, they were shocked for a moment.

"Emperor...How could the Emperor be like this..." Duke Ding Guo was heartbroken.

Chu Junlan said: "The Sixth Prince had a premeditation to lead people to break through the Palace of Yangxin, intending to put the emperor to death. The emperor was stabbed by the Sixth Prince. Before the Emperor fell into a coma, he had ordered the Sixth Prince to be punished by Lingchi."

Duke Ding's eyes were dark, and the other military generals and nobles were full of anger: "I didn't expect the Sixth Prince to do such a crazy thing!"

"There are signs of this happening for a long time. It's a pity that the emperor misjudged his family affection," several generals all had tears in their eyes, "What's the situation with the emperor?"

Chu Junlan sighed and said, "The emperor has not yet fully integrated the Emperor's use of the Longevity Pearl. He has suffered this severely. What will happen in the future depends entirely on whether the emperor's physique can work with the Longevity Pearl. But if you insist on awakening the Emperor at the moment, I am afraid that the Emperor will die."

When he heard Chu Junlan mention the Eternal Pearl, several nobles looked at each other, and their expressions were a little clear.

They heard outside that Emperor Jing Hong was very likely to have obtained the Changsheng Form. Otherwise, he would not have acted so without any scruples these days. Even the Cai family would not care about it and would have the intention to reiterate the matter of rescinding the army.

It turned out that the emperor really got the recipe for immortality, but the assassination of the sixth prince was too coincidental and he took action before the emperor's utility even occurred.

Dingguo said justice: "The situation outside is urgent now, but the emperor is seriously injured and cannot wake up. How can we ask the emperor to tell us?"

Chu Junlan thought for a while and said, "The emperor's current situation is extremely weak. If he wakes up, it may be a short moment. Xu Bu waited for someone to come and fell into a coma again. I have been guarding him. If the Duke of Dingguo is trustworthy, he has told me what he wants to ask. I can ask when I find that the emperor is awake."

Duke Ding looked at several other nobles, and saw that the few nodded, then said, "This matter is not a secret. The situation outside is very serious. When the Cai family heard that something was wrong with the Sixth Prince, they gathered many subordinates to break in. At present, all the people we can dispatch have arrived, but they are only evenly matched with the Cai family."

Chu Junlan's heart was thrilled when he heard this. Isn't it like Zhao Lu said just now? The real situation is really even more serious.

"The city is in chaos now?" Chu Junlan asked.

Duke Ding nodded heavily: "The Cai family's forces are mixed, and many officials have colluded with the Cai family. Fortunately, their hands have not yet reached the army, and the people that the Cai family can mobilize cannot attack the palace for a while."

Chu Junlan thought for a while and said, "What if the sixth prince and the noble concubine Shu are encircled now?"

"Whether to confirm the encirclement and suppression depends on the emperor's intention. After all, the sixth prince was once negotiated for throne." Dingguo was fair.

Chu Junlan understood. Now if Duke Ding and other nobles use their military forces, it will be only a matter of time before they can destroy the Cai family. After all, no matter how hard the Chinese officials in the court can criticize them, they can only choose to shut up when they really use their swords.

It was just that the Duke of Ding was not present at the scene, and he didn't know what Emperor Jing Hong meant to the Sixth Prince. If Emperor Jing Hong really killed the Sixth Prince, if Emperor Jing Hong regretted it, no one would be able to bear this responsibility.

Chu Junlan nodded and said, "I understand. When the emperor wakes up, I will ask clearly."

Duke Ding nodded, but did not leave, allowing several generals behind him to go out, and he stayed outside the Yangxin Palace. While paying attention to the situation of Emperor Jing Hong in the inner palace, he sat here and paid attention to the rewards from the outside world.

Chu Junlan was busy until night fell, and Emperor Jing Hong's situation seemed slightly more stable.

Zhao Lu directed the palace people to clean up the palace, but the bloody smell that filled the nose could not be dissipated for a while.

The Cai family gathered troops to plot against rebellion, and at this time it had spread throughout the palaces. Duke Ding had ordered people to pass the news into the palaces and ordered them to be strictly guarded. He was not allowed to enter and exit the palace gate at will unless he had to.

The people in the city also noticed something strange. The people saw countless soldiers passing through the city within a day and rushed towards the palace. The smarter ones had already closed the door and even dared not light the lights in the dark night.

The eunuch Zhao Lu and the eunuch brought the little eunuch to deliver rice porridge to the hall. Chu Junlan and Duke Ding both ate a bowl silently, and then returned to Emperor Jing Hong to guard.

At midnight, Duke Ding received information about the dispatch of troops from outside the world, and he had a clear mind. He whispered to Chu Junlan: "The three thousand camps, Shenji camps, and the five armies camps have now arrived outside the imperial city."

Chu Junlan nodded and said, "In this way, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend with just one order from the emperor."

“That’s right.”

But the emperor was still in a coma and had no orders. No one dared to break the current balance and become the first person to change the court.

At this time, the Sixth Prince and Concubine Shu were both hiding in a very embarrassed manner in the crowd.

The Cai family has arranged for the palace to meet him one after another, and now there are 300 people. These people surrounded Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince and occupied the wide square outside the Yangxin Palace.

But the palace guards and the latest troops sent by the troops have surrounded them.

The Sixth Prince believed that if it were not for the limited number of people in the square, the entire Jingji camp would have come in and waited for the order from the superiors to kill them all under the knife and could also carry their heads to seek credit.

Concubine Shu screamed in her stomach. After so many years of life of luxury, Concubine Shu still remembers the feeling of hunger?

She looked around in a mess, feeling panic in her heart. When she looked at the Sixth Prince again, her eyes were full of hatred:

"Why don't you discuss this with me when you do this?" In desperation, he claimed that he had changed.

The Sixth Prince sneered: "What are you discussing with you? You pretended to be ignorant now. In fact, have you guessed it long ago? The Cai family is your mother's family. I don't believe that you didn't have anyone to install a hand in your mother's family. If the Cai family makes a little move, you won't notice it at all?"

"I..." Concubine Shu choked and said embarrassedly, "I know it's some, but I don't know that you are going to do something to rebel. Look at what you do? You don't remember what I taught you in the past. Now we are trapped here. Once your father mobilizes troops, how many Cai family can't stand it!"

Concubine Shu said, sobbing in despair.

She didn't understand, how could she have fallen to this point?

After the Sixth Prince learned that he was very likely to be fooled, he said that kind of thing in front of his father. He became more pleasing to Concubine Shu, but when he heard Concubine Shu’s complaints, he was still impatient.

"Don't try to leave yourself clean. We can't escape, whether it's you and me, or the entire Cai family." The Sixth Prince showed a strange and ferocious smile on his face. "Now I think about how we can think of a way to bring more cushions before we die. Mother, my son can be your company on the road to the underworld, please be content."

Concubine Shu's pupils shrank suddenly, and she suddenly realized the tragic facts at the moment.

She might really be ruined here! She taught her son how to compete for favor and how to compete for the throne so that the Sixth Prince would become the current temperament. Did she be wrong from the beginning?
