Chapter 387: Unrest in the Imperial City
Early in the morning, people in the imperial city were talking about it.
"Have you heard? The second prince sent an assassin to kill the emperor, and he was caught!"
"You are out of date. The Second Prince is not only trying to assassinate the Emperor, he is also planning a rebellion! He has secretly hidden the dragon robe!"
"How did you know this?"
"My cousin's uncle's uncle's uncle's cousin's maid's cousin's uncle's housekeeper's cousin's brother is working in the Second Prince's Palace. Now he has also been arrested and thrown into prison!"
"Your family is really far-reaching!"
The Second Prince's incident caused quite a stir, but the people were quite calm. Not only were they not panicked or afraid at all, they even treated the Second Prince's incident as a joke.
"The princes have always been friendly and respectful to each other. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been very caring towards his younger brothers and sisters, and would send them any good things. This Second Prince actually dared to frame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this. It's really disheartening!"
"Isn't it? His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be very sad right now!"
Although the Gongsun royal family was united, internal conflicts also occurred, and fighting for the throne was nothing new.
But in every fight, the common people were not harmed.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Nalan Ze looked coldly at Nalan Chen who was kneeling below him: "What have I done wrong to you? Do you want me to die?"
The prince stood aside in silence, his eyes full of disappointment.
The Second Prince raised his head and sneered, "If Father is good to me, why don't you pass the throne to me? A prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince. I just want to be an emperor. Why can't you fulfill my wish?"
He pointed at the prince angrily: "My eldest brother is a sickly man. He is only in his forties, but he is like an old man in his sixties. If he can be the prince, why can't I? I am no worse than him!"
"We are both the sons of our father, the emperor, and our mother, so what's wrong with me fighting for everything that belongs to me?"
Nalan Ze was so angry that he laughed: "You are so righteous. You killed your father and brother, and seriously injured your nephew. You have done so many wrong things, and you don't repent. You dare to shout at me here!"
"Come here, summon Prime Minister Luo and General Zhu to the palace. I want to depose this rebellious son Nalan Chen!"
Although Nalan Chen had the intention to rebel, he had not yet taken action. Assassination was his first plan, but he was cut short just as it began. Everything he had arranged was uprooted because of this failure.
Nalan Chen was demoted to a commoner and sent to the seaside to fish.
In Nalan Ze's words, this old guy is living too comfortable a life, which is why he wants to seize the throne. He should go to the seaside to exercise and temper his temper.
In this way, Nalan Chen was sent to the seaside farthest from the imperial city, which was the most difficult place in the entire Penglai Kingdom.
Nalan Chen's wife and children also went with him.
The Miao family colluded with Nalan Chen, which was an unforgivable crime. Nalan Ze sent General Zhu to capture all members of the Miao family.
Because the Seventh Elder and his group were punished, the Miao clan was still angry, and their conspiracy with the Second Prince to rebel was exposed. The Miao clan leader immediately fled with his clansmen, and General Zhu pursued them relentlessly, arresting those he could catch and killing those he could not catch.
The Miao clan instantly became a family of fugitives.
Liu An was happy to hear the news.
"I told them to stop being so arrogant but they didn't listen. Now they are in trouble. The Miao family is finished!" Liu An was gloating. After laughing, he said to Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan, "But we should not be happy too soon. The Miao family has a deep foundation and many tricks. General Zhu will never be able to catch them all, so he will miss a few powerful ones."
Ye Tang nodded: "Master is right, the Miao family should not be so easy to kill, we have to be careful. When we were in the hunting ground, the Miao people wanted to put a curse on me and my husband. Now that my husband and I are fine, I'm afraid the Miao people will not let it go."
Liu An: "Maybe they will vent their anger for the genocide on you."
Ye Qianbai came in from outside and saw Ye Tang and the other two chatting in the hall, so he joined them.
Now the poison in his body has been cured, and he is no longer a dead soldier. However, because the poison has been in his body for too long, his lifespan has been greatly affected. I am afraid he will not live to be fifty years old.
Ye Tang held a grudge against the Miao family.
His great uncle had already told them that the reason he became a assassin was because of the Miao clan.
After Miao Lingshan brought him back to the Miao clan, she handed him over to an elder of the clan. The elder originally wanted to refine Ye Qianbai into a Gu man, but seeing that Ye Qianbai was gifted and had the potential to be a good assassin, he trained him into a assassin and gave him to Nalan Chen.
Ye Qianbai helped Nalan Chen kill many people, but he didn't know why Nalan Chen wanted to kill Liu An.
At that time, the order given to him by Nalan Chen was to go to the Yuan Dynasty, hunt down Liu An regardless of the consequences, and bring Liu An's head back to Penglai Kingdom to see him.
Ye Qianbai took the mission and went to the Yuan Dynasty, and he went there illegally, but his luck was very bad. He encountered bad weather at sea and the boat capsized. When he came to the shore after going through all the dangers, he found himself in Beiyi Kingdom and encountered a prince who was being hunted. Although the prince was dead, the killer regarded Ye Qianbai as an accomplice and wanted to kill him as well.
Ye Qianbai had suffered a lot and his body had not yet recovered. He fought with the killer for three hundred rounds. After winning by chance, he fainted.
As luck would have it, when he fainted, he fell on his back and hit the back of his head on a rock, causing a bleeding head.
After waking up, he remembered nothing and hid here and there in a daze. He was picked up by King Hong of Yimen and became Yimen's death warrior.
Ye Qianbai told Ye Tang and the others everything he knew about the Miao family, and he also told them everything about what happened with Nalan Chen.
"These are the things I knew before I went to the Yuan Dynasty. I don't know what happened after that."
Liu An raised his hand and said, "What you know is not the point. The point is why did Nalan Chen send you to kill me? This matter must be clarified. If I don't, I will be unhappy."
Ye Tang chuckled: "That's easy. Nalan Chen has just been sent away. He should have just left the city not long ago. Master, go and catch him. Wouldn't it be clear after a little interrogation?"
Liu An thought this was a good idea, so he got up and left.
Ye Qianbai also stood up and said, "It's useless to keep the Gu Master. I'm going to kill him."
Ye Tang and Jamel Xiao had no objection.
For the next few days, because of the chaos within the royal family, no one came to deal with the Yuan Dynasty delegation. Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan had nothing to do, so they slept a lot and went out for a walk.
As soon as he went out, he met Doctor Nan who came to look for Jamel Xiao.
“King Pingshan, did you know that I came to look for you and to greet you? How thoughtful! How thoughtful! Hahahaha!” Divine Doctor Nan stood in front of Xiao Jingxuan in a very familiar manner: “I just came from His Royal Highness the Emperor’s eldest grandson. His Highness has recovered very well.”
