Chapter 44 An unexpected incident occurred in the palace, and the prince was surprised and happy!
Ye Qingmei, that was a fairy who came to the earth secretly.

If it weren't for her, the two princes would not have died suddenly, and Prince Cheng would not have had the opportunity to ascend the throne.

It is even possible that the Northern Wei Dynasty had already destroyed the Qing Kingdom while the two princes were in civil strife.

Not to mention, because of Ye Qingmei, there are four more grand masters in the world.

All kinds of novel gadgets have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the fate of countless people has been changed as a result.

But under the cold eyes of Emperor Qing, a person who had just given birth and was still very weak was ruthlessly killed.

Although it seems that all those who hurt Ye Qingmei in the past have been killed, the main culprit is still alive.

That is the cold-blooded and ruthless emperor in front of you!
He seemed to have played no major role in this matter, but Chen Pingping knew that was just an illusion.

The reason why Ye Qingmei was killed was that everyone, including him, was transferred away.

Otherwise, the Taiping Villa bloody incident would not have happened, and the Queen's family would not have the courage to take action.

First, he stirred up the Queen and the Queen Mother's hatred towards Ye Qingmei, and then pretended to be late.

Then use thundering means to eliminate the Queen's family.

For Emperor Qing, this was a perfect plan that achieved multiple goals at one stroke.

Not only did he kill Ye Qingmei, the outcast, but he also eliminated all his relatives by marriage to make his throne more stable.

What a good plan! Only this ruthless emperor could have come up with it.

Chen Pingping guessed the truth very early on.

But there is no way to get revenge.

He had no idea whether Emperor Qing's martial arts skills had recovered, and he had no idea how many cards Emperor Qing had.

So he could only plan secretly and wait for the opportunity.

Today's assassination by the temple messenger was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

This resulted in the imperial guards failing to arrive in time to rescue the emperor, and even if they did, it would be difficult for them to kill the temple messenger.

Chen Pingping was unable to arrange manpower in advance, otherwise he would have tried to see if a few ninth-grade warriors could kill Emperor Qing.

Now he was certain that Emperor Qing's martial arts skills had long been restored, and he had even advanced to the level of Grandmaster!

This kind of existence cannot be killed by ordinary means.

Grandmasters, in a sense, they are no longer human beings, but another species!
As a former ninth-rank master, Chen Pingping could still understand the situation on the field even if he had lost all his skills.

It is true that the temple messenger and Emperor Qing are both grand masters, but there are also gaps between grand masters.

Chen Pingping sighed, moved his hand away from the armrest of the wheelchair, and watched the fight quietly.

The outcome of this battle is already clear.

The temple messenger is about to be defeated!
That body, which was so strong that it didn't seem like a human, had been deformed and bent all over by Emperor Qing's beating, but it was not broken.

However, even so, Chen Pingping could see that the temple messenger was almost dead.

It was at this time that Emperor Qing bent the temple messenger's cervical vertebrae with one palm.

The last bit of life is completely cut off!

There was a hint of regret in Chen Pingping's eyes.

What a pity! If there were more temple messengers, Emperor Qing would have died today.

But there was no if in this matter. The temple only sent one messenger, who was ultimately defeated by Emperor Qing.

But at the moment the temple messenger's cervical vertebrae bent backwards, the black cloth covering his eyes fell off.

Then, a rainbow gushed out from between his brows, instantly illuminating the entire hall and penetrating the roof!

Before Chen Pingping could react to what was happening, his body and wheelchair were dragged away uncontrollably and left the hall in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the entire palace was set on fire, with flames shooting up into the sky like a soaring fire dragon, extremely spectacular!
All this happened in a very short period of time.

From the moment the temple messenger's life was cut off by Emperor Qing, to the moment the black cloth fell off, to the moment he was rescued, to the moment the palace caught fire...

Only a few breaths of time passed. Chen Pingping was shocked and upset.

But he immediately thanked the powerful figure who saved him.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, my master. I am so grateful and I have no way to repay you!"

Emperor Qing's eyes were indifferent, with a hint of disappointment, "So this is what's going on under the black cloth?"

"But it's still the same."

After talking to himself for a while, he spoke, "It's rare that an old dog like you is willing to recognize me as your master."

Chen Pingping's face immediately showed excitement, "I will always be a dog raised by my master."

Emperor Qing did not react much to his statement, "How do you think this mess should be cleaned up?"

Chen Pingping guessed what Emperor Qing was thinking without even having to think about it.

There was an assassin in the palace and the imperial study was burned down.

So what is the current situation of His Majesty the Emperor?

The answer is simple, I don’t know.

"Your Majesty, please move to the bedroom to recuperate. During this time, I will not allow any princes or ministers to enter the bedroom."

Emperor Qing was neither sad nor happy, "Let's do it this way."

Soon, the news spread throughout Kyoto.

His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated, the Imperial Study was destroyed, the entire city was under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Civil and military officials each perform their duties.

"No, I have to go see my father!" The prince urgently needed to know the situation of Emperor Qing.

If the emperor is really seriously injured and will not live long, then as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, he should inherit the throne.

The second prince's whetstone is now useless.

But the premise of all this is based on the fact that something happens to Emperor Qing and he cannot wake up.

As long as there is a possibility that Emperor Qing will wake up, he can only be the crown prince and may still be replaced at any time.

The prince hurried to the bedroom with a serious look in his eyes, as he realized the seriousness of the situation.

Along the way, the imperial city was filled with imperial guards, and the garrison strength was at least five times more than usual!
The bedroom was surrounded by the East Factory's men, and the East Factory's supervisor, eunuch Gonghou, was personally in charge.

After taking a deep breath, the prince's face was immediately filled with anxiety. He rushed to the front of the palace and burst into tears.
"Father, I am useless! I cannot bear the consequences for you. I am heartbroken!"

I cried for a while, but there was no response.

But Eunuch Hou spoke up, "Your Highness, please go back. His Majesty needs to rest now."

The prince stuffed a few banknotes into his hand without any ceremony, "Eunuch Hou, what's going on inside now?"

Eunuch Hou's face was no longer as gentle as usual, but rather an image of iron-faced impartiality. After taking the banknote,

In a calm tone, he said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has said that he will not see anyone. Please go back."

Hearing this, the prince's eyes flickered.

He guessed correctly. The Emperor's health condition should be extremely poor now, and there is even a possibility of sudden death!

This gave him a huge opportunity!

If he could seize power through this opportunity, he would naturally be able to ascend to the throne!

As for His Majesty the Emperor...he was too seriously injured and died, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no choice but to ascend the throne in front of the coffin.

What a great script!

But what if, His Majesty has already woken up?

The prince was conflicted.

Play it safe or take a chance?
