Chapter 556 The General Was Rescued (31)
At this point, three of the four princes had already died, leaving only the last one "seriously injured" and just waking up.
When the emperor witnessed his second son falling to the ground, a strong sense of foreboding suddenly came to his mind.
He anxiously mobilized all his strength to quell this "fight" as quickly as possible.
However, it is regrettable that despite the best efforts of the imperial doctors, they were ultimately unable to save the patient.
The second prince died on the spot.
The crown prince who was supposed to inherit the throne unexpectedly died on the spot due to excessive "emotional excitement".
Looking at the two cold corpses in front of him, the emperor was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, muttering to himself, "How...how could this happen?"
At this moment, he felt a deep fear and regret for the first time in his life - perhaps, this was the retribution for his unscrupulous efforts and slaughter of his brothers and sisters in order to fight for the throne!
In fact, the tragedy today was ultimately caused by the emperor's own inaction.
If he had not indulged the Second Prince in provoking trouble and deliberately making things difficult for the Crown Prince; if he had not been blindly confident and always believed that he could completely control the situation, then all the tragedies might not have happened.
The greatest sorrow in life is being too greedy and demanding, but in the end getting very little.
If you can face the reality early, accept the arrangement of fate calmly, and reconcile with yourself, it can also be a kind of happiness.
Unfortunately, there are always people in this world who are willing to hold a carrot and a string and tell you to try again! Try again!
The courage to move forward is worthy of admiration, but admitting one's own powerlessness is not an easy thing.
At this time, the Queen was still waiting for news about the Crown Prince in the palace, because when he was dealing with the Second Prince, he had said to her: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely bring his head to see you to comfort the spirit of my fourth brother in heaven."
But by the second half of the night, there was still no news.
The queen became increasingly uneasy and decided to send someone to check it out.
However, the people sent out never even left the gate of her palace, as the harem had been sealed off by the emperor's order.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses!
This is roughly the situation. The emperor did not believe that these two events were accidents at all.
One accident is a coincidence, but so many accidents are man-made.
"Investigate, investigate everything!" The emperor gave orders while sitting on the dragon throne. "Who instigated the second prince to abdicate? He doesn't have the guts to do that.
Who told the prince this news in advance? And the arrow that hit the eldest son of the Huo family was so special that only a few people could make it. "
The pain of losing his sons one after another made this strong-willed emperor look a little emaciated.
After he finished speaking while sitting on the dragon throne, he asked everyone else to leave.
"I don't know whether I should say something or not!" The eunuch who had followed the emperor for many years suddenly said after everyone left, "Your Majesty, it is important to find out the truth right now, but I think protecting the safety of the third prince is more important."
The emperor frowned at this and looked at the eunuch with an inquiring look: "Are you the third brother's man?"
The eunuch knelt down in fear. "Your Majesty, I am just sad for you. The Third Prince was seriously injured and has only just regained consciousness. Regardless of the truth, he is already the only prince!"
This seems to have made it very clear that Chen Jiyao must not get into trouble again.
"Pass the order! Seal the gates of all palaces, and no one is allowed to leave without the emperor's order." The emperor also thought this made sense, "Send a team of imperial guards to protect the third prince. If anyone harms him, kill him without mercy."
After a while, the emperor said, "I remember that the second son of the Huo family seems to be on duty in the palace tonight. Let him take people to guard the third prince. They are friends, and the boy is loyal. He will definitely be able to protect the prince."
For this reason, the doors of the palaces of everyone in the harem were sealed.
When Huo Yuan and the imperial guards arrived at the palace of the Third Prince, Chen Jiyao seemed to have just woken up. Perhaps he had lost too much blood before, so he was lacking in blood. At this moment, he was leaning on the bed with a pale face, trying to wake up.
"Third Prince, you should get more rest!" An imperial physician who had just been sent to look after Chen Jiyao hastily reminded him, "The dew was heavy at night, and your injury hasn't healed yet. It would be even worse if you catch a cold."
This tone is so much more friendly than usual!
This person was the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He was present at the chaotic scene just now and naturally knew what had happened.
Therefore, all those imperial doctors wanted to rush to the Third Prince's palace to serve him, so there was some suspicion of heating up a cold stove, but the cold stove had to be heated up.
Fortunately he is a medical doctor, otherwise he would not have been given such a good job.
The Third Prince certainly knew that something must have happened, which caused the attitude towards him to change so quickly.
He had expectations in his heart, but he asked nothing and said nothing. He continued to change the dressings and take medicines step by step, waiting for the person he was waiting for.
