Chapter 927: Sudden Change (2)
Cai Wei knew the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly put on her clothes and went to call her parents.
......*......*......
In the brightly lit Sijin Palace
The emperor's face was as pale as paper, and his breath was weak. He pointed at the approaching prince with a trembling finger, and used all his strength to spit out a few words intermittently: "......Rebel... son... cough cough cough......"
Although the emperor was already dying, the prince had been afraid of him all his life. Even if he succeeded in poisoning him, he knew that he had no power to save him, but he still couldn't overcome his fear of him in his heart. He stood far away from the emperor and said tremblingly, "Father, it's not that your son wants to harm you. If you announce it to the world, , saying that my position as the crown prince will not change, and I will naturally not have the intention to harm you, but you have been hesitant, obviously you don't want me to continue to be the crown prince. If I don't kill you, I will have no chance to become the emperor. If I can't become the emperor, the third son will definitely be the emperor. The first thing he does when he becomes the emperor is to kill me. In order to survive, I have to kill you. Father, don't you love my mother the most? I will send you to reunite with my mother, please don't blame me....."
Emperor Ming of Jin stared with his eyes wide open, his eyes were about to split, black blood flowed out of his seven orifices, soaking the dragon and phoenix pillow, he was trembling, panting, and could no longer speak.
This is his son, the son he has spoiled since he was a child, the son born to him by his favorite woman. These days, even when he was sick, he has been thinking about how to let his crown prince continue to be the crown prince, and how to convince the officials to accept a physically disabled emperor in the future.
Because, the last words his beloved Yun'er said to him before she died were: "Your Majesty, please don't abolish our Shi'er, let him continue to be the prince, please..."
He agreed to Yun'er's request, so these days on the sickbed, he endured the discomfort of his sick body and the great grief of losing his wife, and had been planning and calculating for this matter. In the end, what he waited for was such an ending, which was too funny...
Jinzhong came over, looked at Emperor Jin Ming coldly, and sneered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely assist the prince well and clear away his stumbling blocks for him. The prince will definitely become a great monarch in the future and a good emperor who will be passed down through the ages!"
How can a rebellious son who killed his father and a vicious heart become a good emperor?
Unfortunately, Emperor Jin Ming thought in his heart, but couldn't say it. His outstretched hand slowly fell down, the brilliance in his eyes dissipated little by little, and there was no breath in his nose.
Jin Zhong stepped forward, tried it under his nose, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Emperor has passed away!"
"Ah----"
The prince hastily agreed, with a very frightened expression on his face.
"Father is dead, what should we do? What should we do next? How should we tell the officials?"
Jin Zhong said coldly: "To be honest, it was the King of Qin who bribed the emperor's close servants and drugged the emperor with the intention of rebellion. Now the emperor has been poisoned to death by the King of Qin. The King of Qin has committed a great crime of treason and the people of Dajin can all punish him!"
"Yes, yes, uncle is right, just do as uncle says!"
After a few days of getting along, the prince has trusted and relied on Jin Zhong very much. Although Jin Zhong is only a bastard of Wuchang Houfu, born to a concubine of Jin Dapeng's father, the old Wuchang Hou, and has a low status, in the eyes of the prince, he is much better than his uncle who is unlearned and embarrassing. If he hadn't helped him to give him advice and act pitiful in front of his father so that the emperor would allow him to stay in the palace to take care of him, how could he have had the opportunity to feed poison into the emperor's mouth?
