Chapter 276 She Still Loves Me
The wheelchair of the Prince of Jin was rocking and flying: "Father, be careful, your son is here to save you!"
What the hell is this cripple trying to do by rushing over now?
If one more person goes there, Zhou Jushan and Xin Yingshu will have to devote more energy to take care of one more person.
Hou Xiaoxiao kicked with all her might, overturning Prince Jin's wheelchair.
"Ouch—"
Prince Jin's wheelchair overturned, and a bunch of metal parts and hidden weapons fell out of it with a "crackling" sound - his wheelchair was equipped with a mechanism to kill the assassin and save the emperor.
The King of Jin fell to the ground, lying flat on his face.
Just when he was about to turn around to see who had ruined his plans—
Hou Xiaoxiao fiercely kicked the assassin who was just knocked over by Prince Jin: "How dare you kick the prince's wheelchair? What if the prince gets broken and can't walk!"
She saw the parts that had just fallen off the wheelchair, and her brain raced. She instantly realized why Prince Jin dared to rush forward, and even Prince An panicked when the assassin appeared just now, but Prince Jin was not panicked at all.
The words "Father, I'm here to save you" were shouted so loudly, could it be intentional?
According to the rules she summed up after working in the workplace, those who shout the loudest are the ones who are best at grabbing credit and planning and taking advantage of opportunities.
Hou Xiaoxiao thought about it as she came over to help King Jin and said unhappily, "What are you doing? There are assassins behind you, why are you so reckless?"
She thought that this guy might be playing dumb, and maybe in the end, it seemed safest to stay with him.
Hou Xiaoxiao dragged him behind a table and chair and hid him there, with her hands seemingly protecting King Jin.
But in fact, when something unexpected happens, she can use this posture to strangle Prince Jin's neck at any time and feed him poison or a poisonous insect.
Prince Jin took a deep look at Hou Xiaoxiao who was protecting him, and his mind couldn't help but emerge the arrogant look of this woman who kicked the assassin and helped him up.
Could it be that the princess actually still loved him deeply, but there were so many beauties in the backyard that hurt her heart, so the princess has been going against him and wanted him to always focus his attention on her?
Before she got married, the princess had a reputation as an evil woman in the capital. She did not behave like an ordinary girl and had a very strong self-esteem.
When King Jin put everything together, he felt that he suddenly became enlightened!
Hou Xiaoxiao didn't know what Prince Jin was thinking, she just felt that the way Prince Jin looked at her gave her goose bumps.
In today's battle, this guy seemed much more cunning than usual. Could he be planning to harm me?
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, Xu Qingyun, had already led the imperial guards in a line and surrounded the Xingqing Hall in three layers. Seeing this, the assassins stopped their actions.
The ministers and concubines who were running around at the scene all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the imperial guards arrive and the assassins give up resistance.
Zhou Jushan and Emperor Qingning also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qingyun waved his hand, and the imperial guards behind him rushed to the group of assassins surrounding Emperor Qingning and drew their swords.
Emperor Qingning straightened his dragon robe and was about to scold Xu Qingyun for coming so late.
Unexpectedly, the imperial guards drew their knives and pointed them at Emperor Qingning together with the assassin leader.
Emperor Qingning's eyes were red with anger, and his finger pointed at Xu Qingyun with a trembling sound: "Xu Qingyun, how dare you?!"
The commander of the imperial guards, Xu Qingyun, was pointed at by Emperor Qingning and gave a complicated smile: "Your Majesty, you have been sitting on the throne for twenty years, you must be tired of it."
"It is better to abdicate and hand over the throne to His Royal Highness Prince An."
At this time, the rest of the imperial guards gathered towards Prince An.
At this time, Prince An's back was soaked with cold sweat and his eyes were filled with fear.
He shouted angrily: "Xu Qingyun, what are you doing? You are committing a capital crime punishable by the death of your entire clan!"
"Your Highness, isn't it you..."
The two exchanged glances and immediately realized that something big had happened!
Prince An was indeed secretly communicating with Xu Qingyun, but he had no plans to take action tonight!
Someone spread false news and informed Xu Qingyun to take action at the Lantern Festival dinner, forcing Prince An to rebel now!
The killer of the lion dancer was not arranged by himself, but was interfered by someone else.
And this person...
Prince An thought about it carefully, and thinking of Prince Jin's abnormal condition today, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
It's almost certain that the mastermind behind this is the Second Prince, Prince Jin, who has always been following behind him and doing whatever he wants!
Emperor Qingning's furious voice rang out. He looked at his eldest son with great pain. He actually forced the emperor to abdicate during the Lantern Festival banquet. "Congji, when did you collude with the commander of the imperial guards, Xu Qingyun?"
Hou Xiaoxiao and others looked at the strange behavior of Prince An and Xu Qingyun just now, and everyone in the group guessed a result that Prince An did have ulterior motives, but had no plans to take action tonight, and a third party added fuel to the fire!
"Father, it was Prince Jin who framed me!"
Prince An trusted Prince Jin not only because Prince Jin had followed him since childhood, but also because Prince Jin took the initiative to surrender.
The Prince of Jin and the Prince of An revealed that he was no longer humane and had lost the qualifications to compete for the throne.
Prince An also secretly sent a doctor to examine Prince Jin, and it was indeed the case, so he had more trust in Prince Jin.
You know, Prince Jin once blocked a knife for him a year ago!
How could such a childless person covet the throne and plot against him in the back?
Emperor Qingning laughed in anger: "Accusing you of rebellion? Then you and Xu Qingyun are colluding right before my eyes, is this also a false accusation?"
"My son..."
Prince An frowned. If he were to bite Prince Jin now, his father would only think that he was throwing mud at Prince Jin without any evidence.
The only choice now is to take advantage of the situation, fortunately I have a trump card.
Prince An raised his head, and the elegant and easy-going look on his face had changed, with a look of carefreeness: "Father, you have no interest in politics, and you only want to take all the power into your own hands."
“Have you ever thought about the truth that water overflows when it is full and the moon wanes when it waxes?”
Emperor Qingning laughed in anger: "Could it be that I owe you something? In this case, it's still my fault!"
"You left a lot of messes for me to clean up, and I offended a lot of people because of this, and I was worried all day long."
Many of the things that Emperor Qingning asked Prince An to do were offensive, and he euphemistically called it testing Prince An's ability to get things done.
If Prince An fails to please Emperor Qingning, the suspicious Emperor Qingning will question Prince An.
Emperor Qingning only wanted to gather power and satisfy his own ambitions, but if power were returned to the hands of the emperor alone, how many people's interests would be harmed? If the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
Many people were resentful of Prince An, who worked for the emperor, and tried to obstruct and target him at every turn.
Prince An became the unlucky person who had to do things that were thankless, and was caught in a dilemma.
However, the image he had shown since childhood was that of a gentle, elegant and cultured person, and he seemed more capable than the other princes. The emperor viewed him as an enemy.
Prince An, who was used as a shield, was of course not feeling good and was almost driven crazy. He gradually came up with the idea of turning those who were dissatisfied with him and the emperor into friends.
