Chapter 168
The second prince has been waiting for this day for a long time. How can he let a bastard succeed to the throne successfully?
"Second prince, Xia is in the most critical moment. How can we allow you to do whatever you want? Why don't you step down?"
The queen knew that if she wanted the prince to succeed to the throne smoothly, this was an unavoidable hurdle. Fortunately, the current situation was in the prince's favor.
"Mother, that's why I can't allow any accidents to happen in Xia."
"Mother, you know the prince's situation best. In order to maintain the face of the royal family, I don't want to say more, but it is absolutely impossible for the prince to succeed to the throne. There is no doubt about that."
"At this time of national crisis, this prince can only stand up and take over the great responsibility. Please allow me, mother."
The second prince pointed out the prince's life experience, and I believe the queen can understand it.
Sure enough, when the queen heard the second prince's words, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that the second prince knew such a hidden thing and brought it out at this critical moment.
But soon, the queen relaxed. The incident was extremely secretive, and the person had been killed. Even if the second prince knew, there was no evidence, and he would be charged with slandering the queen.
"Second brother, stop making trouble. It's already this time."
The prince didn't know his own life experience, and thought he had won.
The second prince didn't say anything, just looked at the queen, waiting for her choice.
"Yes, second prince, stop making trouble. Everything should be based on the overall situation."
The queen made a choice and insisted on her inner thoughts. Besides, she couldn't admit it at this point.
"In that case, I'm sorry."
"Come on, bring the person up."
Soon, a man covered in bruises was dragged up to the hall.
Although more than 20 years had passed, the queen still recognized the guard leader at a glance. She never thought why the man didn't die and fell into the hands of the second prince.
At this time, the queen wanted to kill him to silence him, but in public, she could only pretend to be calm.
"Everyone, I believe many people know this man who used to be the commander of the guards in the Queen's bedroom, and he has another unknown identity."
"The reason why I oppose the crown prince's succession is because this man is the crown prince's biological father, and the crown prince is not your majesty's blood at all."
A stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the exposure of the second prince shocked everyone.
This matter was extremely secretive back then, and few people knew about it. Moreover, those who knew about it had already been silenced by the queen.
"How dare you, second prince, slander me, this is a crime of treason."
Although the queen recognized the man, she was determined not to admit it. This would not only lose the crown prince's qualification to inherit the throne, but also the lives of their mother and son.
"Mother, at this point, are you still going to deny it? If you don't want people to know, then don't do it yourself. This prince has gone through a lot of trouble to find this person. I wanted to report to my father tomorrow, but you took action first. You are really ambitious."
The second prince was even more ruthless. He directly blamed the death of the emperor on the queen and the prince.
As we all know, the palace is heavily guarded. How can ordinary assassins come in and out at will? Without someone as an insider, it is impossible to do it, and this person's identity is definitely not low.
The queen is one of the best candidates. As for the reason, it is also very simple, that is, she is afraid that the matter will be exposed.
Looking at this unexpected scene, the ministers talked about it. No one expected such a dramatic scene to happen.
The old emperor died, and no one cared about his funeral. They didn't even investigate the murderer who killed the old emperor, but they rushed here to compete for the throne.
If they want to compete, they will do it, but they made such a scene. If this gets out, the dignity of the royal family will be swept away.
Regardless of the prince's background, he is indeed no longer suitable for the throne under the circumstances of doubt.
Only the Grand Marshal, the Grand Guardian, the Grand Master and others said nothing.
For them, the truth of the matter is no longer important. Even if the prince is not the flesh and blood of the previous emperor, can they give up?
At this time, it is not just a matter of identity, but more importantly, a competition of strength.
Moreover, it is almost impossible to nail the prince to death just by getting such a person.
"Second Prince, the matter is a foregone conclusion. Why do you still have to fight for something that does not belong to you, and use such a despicable means? Don't forget that you are also a member of the royal family."
At this moment, the prince was still confused. This sudden accident made him at a loss.
It was Prime Minister Yan Tianyu who stood up.
At this point, the truth could no longer be taken care of. Everything in the Yan family was tied to the prince. Yan Tianyu could not bear the consequences of failure.
"Prime Minister, all the gentlemen, if you don't believe me, this person is right here, and we can use blood test to prove our relationship."
This is the second prince's trump card.
"How dare you! The crown prince is about to succeed you.How can I accept such humiliation? This is disrespectful to the late emperor. Come, take this unknown person and execute him immediately. "
"The second prince is lying, despising me, and slandering the crown prince. I declare that from now on, the second prince will reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. Without my order, he is not allowed to leave the prince's mansion."
Blood test, how is it possible? Wouldn't it be impossible to cover it up?
The queen immediately gave the order.
After the queen gave the order, a group of people rushed out and headed straight for the unlucky guy.
"Hmph, you are guilty, my lords, don't you understand?"
"Stop it, I'll see who dares to do it. "
At this moment, everyone was even more confused.
In theory, although the second prince's words were absurd, he had even brought witnesses. The prince only needed a simple drop of blood to prove his innocence, so why bother making things tense?
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn, and both sides were on edge and could fight at any time.
"Second prince, you should go back first. This matter will definitely be investigated. "
At this time, Grand Tutor Lin Jinnan spoke.
The Second Prince did not expect that at this critical moment, his most powerful supporter, the current Grand Tutor Lin Jinnan, would actually let him leave. Doesn't this mean giving up?
Except for Lin Jinnan, Grand Commandant Su Jingshan, Grand Guardian Lü Qing, Junior Tutor, Grand Chancellor and others, all said nothing.
The ministers did not care about the prince's background, they only cared about their own interests.
The reason why Lin Jinnan stopped the Second Prince was because he knew very well that at this point, the Queen and the Prince would never give in.
In addition, they also had the support of Yan Tianyu, and their power in Kyoto was greater than that of the Second Prince.
If the Second Prince insisted on his own way and the two sides went to war without scruples, his Grand Tutor's Mansion would be in trouble. will also bear the brunt.
Lin Jinnan joined the second prince for nothing more than interests and future status. If he had to sacrifice his entire Lin family for this, Lin Jinnan would not be willing.
To put it bluntly, it was still strength. The prince's background was unknown, and he was absolutely determined to fight to the death. In order to save her own life, the queen would also risk her life.
As for Yan Tianyu, he was the queen's father and the prince's grandfather. To put it bluntly, they had no way out.
But Lin Jinnan was different. He and the second prince were just cooperating, and he would not risk everything for the second prince.
At this critical moment, for his own interests, Lin Jinnan chose to give up the second prince. This was something no one could have imagined. Perhaps there was an unknown secret behind this.
