As soon as Fu Yunjian left, Dong'er came out from behind.

"Father."

Fu Shangyuan beckoned his son over.

"Huai, come here."

Dong'er looked up at her, his eyes full of worry.

Fu Shangyuan hugged his son and smiled, "Afraid that the emperor will be implicated"

Dong'er nodded, "If Qi Ge became emperor, he wouldn't make things difficult for Father. The Second Prince, however, is another matter."

"Why did Father just deliberately provoke him"

Fu Shangyu patted Dong'er's head coldly, "If your father doesn't anger him, your seventh brother is afraid he won't be able to break the current situation for a lifetime."

Dong'er was very clever, but for a moment she couldn't quite understand her father king's intentions.

"Silly child, with your seventh brother's character, do you think he would proactively kill your second brother and take the throne"

Dong'er was taken aback. Of course, Qi Ge wouldn't.

But your second older brother will.

For the throne, he would stop at nothing, even stepping over the corpses of his own siblings.

Donner instantly understood his father's intentions. "I see, you deliberately provoked the second prince so he would take the initiative to deal with Seventh Brother, right"

Fu Shangyuan smiled, "Huizhi is right."

"Only then can your seventh brother make a move."

"Your father feels the same way. If the emperor's successor can only be chosen between you two brothers, of course your seventh older brother would be a better emperor."

Don't son chuckled, "Since father favors Seventh Brother, why don't we continue to help him, just like father did before."

Fu Shangyuan looked at Dong'er in surprise, then suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

This kid, he's been watching the connection between himself and Lao Qi all along.

"It's not that Father doesn't want to continue helping your seventh brother, but I can't."

"At this stage, he can only rely on himself."

That night, a major event occurred in the palace: the second prince, Fu Yunxuan, died.

Fu Ming stood on the steps of the main hall, holding a bloody blade in his hand. Countless palace maids and eunuchs in the palace saw this scene and screamed, running around in panic.

Within half an hour, the palace gates were packed with ministers. Almost everyone who could come had arrived.

Zongyu and Fang Jinxiu also rushed over together.

This power struggle was bound to have a resolution sooner or later, but no one expected the outcome to come so suddenly. Fu Ming actually made the first move.

Fāng Jǐnxiù watched as he stepped down the stairs one by one, and whispered to Zōng Yù, "I thought he would only make a move when he was driven to his limit by the Seventh Prince."

It seems I underestimated his determination as a ruler.

Actually, this result was also the best they could have hoped for, both Fang Jinshu and Zong Yu. It's better that Fu Ming becomes emperor than Fu Yunxuan.

It is said that a few days ago, Fu Ming intended to give up the struggle for the throne in court. He wanted to restore order to the imperial court as soon as possible so that he could deal with the pile of memorials and resettle the people.

It's a pity he has reached this point. Even if he wants to step down now, the ministers behind him won't let him retreat.

Among the ministers who rushed in, Yuan Xiang led the way, standing in a line. On the other side, it was Bai Guogong standing at the front, and even King Jing had arrived.

This Fu Shangyuan, a few days ago at court he argued with everyone over who should be emperor, and this only remaining royal prince is hiding away.

"Now that Fu Yunxuan is dead, he appears just in time."

As expected of an old fox.

As soon as Fang Jinshi had finished speaking, Dong'er crept over.

"Mother!"

Whenever Dong'er saw Fang Jinshu, her eyes would sparkle with delight, and a smile would grace her face.

"Dong'er, how could your father have brought you here The palace is still very dangerous. Fu Shangyuan is really something else."

Dong'er grabbed her hand and shook it, just like she did when they were little, being all sweet and coquettish.

"Don't worry, Mother. Father said tonight is important. If things go awry, we won't be safe even hiding in the mansion."

"It's safer to stay with Father. If anything happens, we can look after each other."

Fang Jinshi saw Dong'er smile with relief.

That little one from back then has now grown up to be able to stand on his own two feet. The decision to bring him to Beijing to find out about his past was definitely the right one.

Fu Shangyuan's gaze also followed Dong'er and turned to Fang Jinxiu. Seeing her touch his son's head, a bit of displeasure arose in his heart.

"Seventh Prince, what is the meaning of this Second Prince is your elder brother, how could you kill him for the throne!"

"Such a cruel person is not worthy of inheriting the throne."

Yuan Buyu was indeed the first to voice his opposition, but surprisingly, the ministers behind him did not all follow suit as they usually did.

Every person has a scale in their heart. Originally, the second and seventh princes were the most qualified to inherit the throne. Now that the second prince is dead, if they don't allow the seventh prince to ascend the throne, would they let two infants who can't even walk properly become emperor

If that were the case, there would inevitably be someone at court who thought they could become Regent.

Fang Jinshi suddenly realized, "At this time, Yuan Buyu is still opposing Fu Ming's ascension to the throne. Could it be that he wants to support a young prince to ascend the throne and become the regent himself, controlling the government"

The Empress Dowager and the Empress were conspicuously absent, and the growing unease and fear in the hearts of the people intensified.

A country cannot be without a ruler for even a day, the succession to the throne, no matter what, must have a result tonight.

Fu Ming, who had remained silent until now, suddenly threw the sword in his hand. The sound was a clear and crisp clang, as if it resonated in the hearts of everyone present.

Tonight, the Seventh Prince exudes an air of sternness and killing intent. This is a stark contrast to his usual gentle and humble demeanor.

“I did not kill my second brother.”

It was him who wanted to kill me.

"I know you won't believe what I'm saying now, but we can investigate this slowly later. The murderer killed my second brother in the palace and caused such a commotion, they must have left some clues."

But the most important thing right now is not Erge's death. Before Fu Yunxuan died, he told me something.

He secretly made a deal with a high-ranking official in the court and the Western Xia royal family.

"After the Western Xia envoy killed our father emperor, he mysteriously disappeared. It was also my second brother and this powerful minister who conspired to secretly let him go."

"The purpose is to completely throw Daxi into chaos, allowing the second brother to rise to power."

As soon as Fu Ming uttered these words, the officials below immediately erupted in chaos. This act was tantamount to treason!

What high-ranking officials To actually collude with enemy state officials to kill the former emperor, this is a capital offense punishable by extermination of nine clans.

"May I ask, Your Highness, who is this person"

I absolutely will not allow such a traitorous and harmful presence to continue lurking in the imperial court, stirring up trouble and aiding evil forces!

Fu Ming stared hard at Yuan Buyu, and the others gradually realized that the Seventh Prince's gaze was fixed on him.

Everyone looked at Yuan Buyu in disbelief.

He, on the other hand, was unusually calm. Not only was he not at all panicked, but he even let out a sneer.

"Your Seventh Highness means that this old minister conspired with the Second Prince to kill the late Emperor and release the enemy"

"Evidence If Seventh Prince has evidence, please bring it out."ment ago, but now his face was overcast with gloom.Because he thought of the news he had received from Gu Feng before his departure, and as soon as he thought that Fang Jinshu wanted to divorce him an...
