Chapter 509: The Heavens Will Kill Me

There is still no news about the emperor's Chengqian Palace, but the officials outside can't sit still.

They flocked outside the palace one after another, demanding to see King Cheng Lu.

King Cheng was waiting for them, and immediately ordered someone to let them in.

These officials quarreled and asked King Cheng to let their wives and children go. But few officials dared to call King Cheng a traitor.

After all, the wife and children are in the hands of others.

King Cheng sat firmly in his chair, surrounded by heavy-helmed soldiers.

He smiled and said: "If you come to this king to make trouble, you might as well ask your emperor to hand over the jade seal and imperial edict, and voluntarily abdicate to the third prince. Then this king can let everyone go, and let everyone's wives and daughters, Sent home safe and sound."

The ministers looked at each other.

King Cheng had a heavy army in his hand, but they didn't dare to do anything.

Then... I have no choice but to ask the emperor.

Soon, dozens of officials knelt outside Chengqian Palace, begging the emperor to save their wives and daughters in tears.

Of course, they didn't dare to directly ask the emperor to hand over Yuxi's throne, they just cried and begged him to save people.

Although the door of Chengqian Hall was motionless, the emperor sitting inside was actually having a hard time.

It can even be said to be difficult.

He could only sit here, unable to do anything, watching King Cheng murder one by one, threatening him unscrupulously.

It wasn't until this time that he truly understood what it meant to be alone.

Concubine Liu Gui's company and comfort did not bring him much comfort.

"Hey, I thought I was the real dragon emperor, omnipotent. Who would have thought that I can't do anything now." He sighed weakly.

Concubine Liu Gui choked up and said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is gone now...the only one who can inherit the throne is the third prince, or... you can pass it on to him."

The emperor was very angry: "The prince is gone, I should give the throne to Yuan Qi, but he betrayed me, and I will never hand over the throne to him. I still have two sons! Yuan He is still young, and he is out of town Let alone, Yuan Zhen has soldiers and horses in his hands, so will he just let me do nothing?"

Concubine Liu Gui burst into tears: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the sons and daughters of the eldest prince have also been arrested in the palace! How dare he act rashly?"

The emperor was startled, as if he had aged ten years.

He sighed a long time and covered his face: "Could it be that the sky is going to kill me..."

The cries of the courtiers outside became more and more intense.

The emperor's heart, which was already in grief, became more and more anxious.

Zhao Yuanjing lowered his figure, and leaned on the roof of Chengqian Hall, trying his best to turn himself into a shadow under the moonlight.

There are really too many soldiers and guards around.

Surrounding the sleeping hall is a dense circle, if Zhao Yuanjing hadn't been cautious, even he couldn't get close.

Even here, he can only be more careful.

At this time, he was half kneeling on the roof, listening to the cries of officials coming from the door, he also felt noisy.

Although he didn't have the idea that his ministers had to die for the king, these ministers usually talked eloquently, and each was more embarrassing than the other. When they really encountered trouble, they could only let King Cheng manipulate them.

Just a bunch of idiots.

Zhao Yuanjing thought for a while, lowered his body, gently lifted a tile, and put it aside. Then I opened another piece and got tired to the side.

He didn't stop until seven or eight tiles were lifted, took a deep breath, and jumped down.
