Chapter 118
The screams in the back garden resounded through half of the imperial city.

Especially the one who was standing next to the third prince toasting, just said that the moon tonight is big and round, and before he could finish the sentence, he just watched the third prince being opened.

As a literati.

Seeing such a terrifying scene, even the screams he made were different from others.

If it's a group of rough guys, they should say 'oh shit, my mother scared your father and me to death'

But apart from screaming ahhhhhh, this group of literati didn't say a single dirty word!

It's just that there are a few who are relatively timid, and when they saw this scene, they directly smoked it.

The news that the third prince was killed in the middle of the night had already spread throughout the imperial city at dawn.

It was rare for the old emperor, who had not shown his face for so long, to go to court, but the old emperor's current appearance shocked everyone.

It was just aging before, but now it looks more like it is decaying, with a haggard face as if it will die at any time.

Seeing the old emperor sitting crookedly on that supreme chair, he completely lacked the domineering style of Megatron a few months ago.

Seeing the old emperor like this the whole time, I knew it in my heart.

The next emperor will come out soon.

This time all the ministers met the emperor, but at this juncture, no one dared to write a letter to let the emperor handle the state affairs.

Although the emperor is old, but the power is still there.

It is not wise to provoke a tiger that bites when it is dying.

Logically speaking, the princes should also be in the hall now.

But it seems that the old emperor specially ordered them not to come over.

All the ministers stood quietly in the hall until the third prince's body was carried into the palace.

Regardless of the rules, the coffin should not be parked outside the main hall.

But the old emperor didn't care about this, when the third prince's coffin was placed in front of everyone, the old emperor swayed and stood up slowly, stumbling forward in front of everyone.

That aging appearance really made everyone suspect that if the old emperor fell down, he might never be able to get up again.

The old emperor passed among the ministers and was almost tripped when he crossed the threshold of the main hall. That is, the old eunuch behind him quickly helped him, and then he continued to support the old emperor to the coffin.

Look at the coffin in front of you.

The old emperor burst into tears.

"I'm not ready yet..."

"I haven't thought of it yet!!!"

"Third brother, third child, why did you die like this!"

"What can I do with this!"

The old emperor lay down on the coffin and wept bitterly. The ministers behind him all knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, beg for condolences."

The old emperor kept crying with the coffin in his arms, his tears were almost gone, and then he staggered away with the support of the old eunuch.

This time the morning is over.

All the ministers were still feeling emotional on the way back, they didn't expect the emperor to have deep affection for the third prince.

I can't usually see it.

Once the third prince died, the state of the old emperor's performance was really sad, and those who heard it wept.

It's just that I don't know which family's lunatics actually attacked the prince one after another, making the old emperor's mental state that was not bad at all unable to hold on.

It can be expected that the battle for the throne is coming to an end.

Now there is only a second prince with a good reputation and a relatively low-key sixth prince, and the two are vying for the throne.

However, the second prince now has a new layer of suspicion on his back. After all, the killer could kill the eldest prince and the third prince, but he just attacked the second prince once and never appeared again.

I always feel that the second prince is a bit suspicious, and people can't help but wonder if the second prince is a little impatient, and deliberately finds a strange man to do such a thing, and cleans himself by being attacked suspicion.

The suspicion is well founded.

The second prince was directly hit by this big scapegoat!
The night he was attacked, he was so scared that he didn't sleep well all night.

Now every time it gets dark, there are dozens of guards standing outside the door, and I feel that I can't sleep well.

Now that I am in this state, there are still people who suspect that I did it!

It's really open your mouth to spread rumors, and it's a waste of time to refute them!

Just when the ministers were discussing whether to hang out with the second prince or the sixth prince who had been keeping a low profile but quite talented.

A decree came from the palace.

All princes enter the palace.

The prince is not allowed to bring any trusted family members with him!

When the decree came out, the carriage had already arrived at the door of the four princes, which meant that these princes should leave now!

Such a move made many people wonder if the old emperor was afraid that his remaining children would also be attacked suddenly, so he let them stay away from everyone and live in the palace directly.

Some people also speculate whether the old emperor is going to announce the heir to the throne today?
But it doesn't feel like announcing the heir now. After all, the third prince hasn't been buried yet. Even if the old emperor can't wait any longer, he should wait two days after the burial before announcing the candidate.

A group of people's speculation obviously did not prevent the princes from getting into the carriage.

The fourth and the fifth prince's two carriages drove directly into the palace and drove towards the depths of the palace.

The second prince went round and round to the mysterious emperor's back garden.

Then he never saw the second prince come out again.

Only the sixth prince.

The emperor arranged for him a room in the palace, and directly let the sixth prince live here temporarily.

There was no mention of a meeting, nor of anything to do.

It felt as if the sixth prince was imprisoned in the palace.

The sixth prince has no cronies to help him now, and the place where he lives in the palace is guarded by the emperor's imperial guards, so it is impossible to get information from them.

Even if the sixth prince has all kinds of abilities now, he can only suffocate himself in the hut, quietly waiting for the next arrangement.

All the princes entered the palace.

Three days passed in a row.

Logically speaking, today should be the day for the third prince to be buried.

However, the third prince's coffin has always been parked in the palace. Even the family members of the third prince once asked the eunuchs in the palace, and the reply they got was always:
The emperor was heartbroken, and he only wished to accompany the third prince for a while longer, and he would bury the third prince immediately after the emperor issued an order. '

With such an answer, even if the third prince's family members urged him, it would be meaningless.

A group of people could only wear white cloth, hoping that the third prince's coffin would come back soon.

It was the fourth day after the third prince died.

The sixth prince who had been trapped in the courtyard was suddenly invited out by the eunuch.

"Sixth prince, please"

"The emperor wants to see you and say some heartfelt words."
