One month later.

The emperor finally opened his mouth to speak, and his first sentence was: "Call the prince and grandson to come over."

When the crown prince and grandson arrived, the emperor opened his mouth and asked, "Have the affairs of Prince An been settled?"

The prince replied respectfully: "Father, there is no need to worry. Ah Yao has already ordered people to bury King An." After a pause, he continued: "King Yan is still imprisoned in the clan's mansion. However, Ah Yao specially asked people to bury him. He was deprived of food and could only eat half full every meal, and let him experience the suffering of King An."

The emperor narrowly escaped death and lay on the bed for several months. He could only drink some soup and water every day, and he was so thin that he almost lost weight. His forehead was full of wrinkles and spots, and he looked like he had come a long way.

At this point, the emperor finally looked away and said slowly: "The cause of these incidents all lies with King Yan. It is not appropriate to just lock him in the prison of Zongren Mansion. Since he has made a big mistake, he must be severely punished. . Otherwise, in the future, if everyone learns, there will be chaos inside and outside the court. "

Finally, I’m not confused yet!

The emperor's grandson and the prince looked at each other without saying much.

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "It's a father-son affair. Before I deal with it, I want to see this rebellious son again."

He wanted to ask that traitor himself why he did this!

The emperor became agitated, and a strange red flush suddenly appeared on his skinny face, and he coughed several times. The emperor's grandson hurriedly stepped forward and patted the emperor's back gently for a moment.

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The prince hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth to console him: "If your father wants to deal with King Yan, it is better to issue an imperial edict directly. Why call him into the palace again."

What if King Yan speaks unscrupulously and makes the emperor angry?

The emperor was extremely stubborn: "How can that traitor still make me angry to death? I must see him."

The prince had no choice but to agree.

…

That afternoon, King Yan, who had been imprisoned in Zongren Mansion for a year, finally saw the light of day again.

Speaking of seeing the light of day again, in fact, he came out of the prison of Zongren Mansion and was escorted into the palace by a group of royal guards.

King Yan was also extremely thin, his eyes were lifeless, and he had no energy.

After entering the palace, he did not go to Zichen Hall immediately. The emperor's grandson stood in front of King Yan and said calmly: "Come here, wait for King Yan to bathe and change clothes."

"No need." King Yan, who had been silent all the way, suddenly opened his mouth: "Isn't my father anxious to see me? I'm going to the Zichen Palace now."

After a moment, a sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of his lips again: "It's just right for my father to see how embarrassed I am, and maybe it can calm his anger. Don't pretend to be kind. I just look like this. Isn’t it just what you want when you go on the road?”

The emperor's grandson was in great power, and his demeanor became more and more majestic. He was not angry when he heard the words. He directly ordered the few servants standing aside: "Didn't you hear? Why don't you come over quickly and wait for King Yan to bathe?"

The servants rushed forward and "served" King Yan to wash him cleanly and put on brand new clothes.

King Yan couldn't move, so he simply stopped putting in the effort and let others "serve" him with a sneer.

When he arrived at the Zichen Palace, when King Yan saw the old and lifeless emperor, not only did he not feel guilty at all, but he laughed strangely.

First he grinned, then his laughter grew louder and louder, and by the end, he even burst into tears.

The emperor had a gloomy face and just looked at King Yan laughing crazily.

King Yan burst into tears without wiping them away. He just stood and looked at the emperor lying on the bed, neither kneeling nor begging for mercy: "Father has already made up his mind to execute this traitorous son of mine, why do you still want to let others go?" You summoned me to the palace? Do you want to see my rebellious son for the last time?"

The emperor's face was livid with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You traitor! I think I treat you well. You are my youngest son, and you are the direct descendant of Empress Xu, so I have always favored you. Empress Xu's womanly virtues were lacking, and I abolished her. I have never angered you in the slightest, and I still treat you as before."

"But how did you repay me?"

"I trust you and follow your advice to take you to the palace to live and relax. You actually secretly colluded with King An and ordered people to assassinate me and the prince..."

"It's inappropriate for your father to say that!" King Yan interrupted the emperor frivolously: "I do want to kill my eldest brother. However, I personally blocked the sword that killed my father. If I had the intention to kill my father, You can just sit back and watch.”

The emperor sneered: "You still think that I will support you, and that if the prince dies, I will make you the heir apparent. How can you be willing to die, how can you be willing to give up the good opportunity that you have worked so hard to create?"

"My father thinks so, and I have nothing to say."

King Yan shrugged indifferently: "Succeed as a king or lose as a bandit. Since I have lost, I will let my father do whatever he wants. Does your father intend to give me poisonous wine, or do you want me to beheaded on the execution ground?"

His eyes glanced over and landed on the table beside him. There is a tray on the table with wine bottles and glasses.

"It seems that my father has prepared some poisoned wine for me. It's good. If I die, I can keep my body intact. It will be more dignified when I go underground."

The emperor was choked and gasping for breath.

King Yan laughed mockingly: "It's already this time, and who are you still showing your reluctance to leave? Look at my father like this, he won't live long. I'll wait for you underground first. Soon, our family will We can be reunited under Jiuquan."

"You...you treacherous son! I really misjudged you and believed in you!"

The emperor trembled and squeezed out a few words, his eyes darkened with anger, and he fainted.

The emperor's grandson, who had been standing nearby, frowned and immediately ordered Wei Yan to come in.

After Wei Yan came in, he saw that the emperor's face was turning blue, and he secretly thought something was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward to administer acupuncture for first aid.

The emperor should not be angry when he is suffering from this kind of disease. Every time he falls into coma, it is like a door to hell for the emperor. Once he fails to recover after treatment, he will die immediately.

For a time, the Zichen Palace was in a mess again.

The culprit who caused all this has no shame.

King Yan looked at it coldly for a moment, then walked to the table under the watchful eyes of the imperial guards, poured a glass of wine by himself, and drank it all in one gulp.

The poisonous wine was extremely poisonous. As soon as it entered the stomach, King Yan's face turned black.

My stomach burned like a fire, followed by bone-gnawing pain.

King Yan seemed unaware and praised "good wine". He actually poured another cup and drank it into his mouth.

His eyes began to darken.

The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

That’s fine, let’s just let it go!

From then on, he rested forever and could be reunited with his mother. There is no need to worry about scheming, there is no need to work hard to please the father, there is no need to be hypocritical with the officials in the court.

King Yan's body swayed and he fell to the ground slumped.
