Chapter 334: A Pot of Poisoned Wine
When Liu Rumei asked this, she had actually made up her mind.
If she hadn't taken Tang Mingchen's feelings into consideration, she would have done it directly.
"If he really doesn't care about the relationship between brothers, then he deserves to die."
Tang Mingchen expressed his attitude and Liu Rumei nodded.
"In that case, it's time to let Prince Gong come into the city."
So the next day the saint appeared, and not only did she appear, but she also wanted to meet Prince Gong.
The emperor didn't understand why the saint wanted to see her younger brother. Was it because her younger brother was more fortunate than herself?
He has been practicing very hard during this period and has finally achieved some success. He will absolutely not allow any changes to happen.
So the emperor made arrangements, and Steward Wang was so frightened that his whole body was shaking.
He still underestimated the emperor's ambition and ruthlessness.
Manager Wang struggled mightily, but finally passed the message to Liu Rumei.
Because he has already seen clearly that the head of the imperial city now is not the emperor, but Liu Rumei.
He even felt that if Liu Rumei wanted to become the empress, it would not be a difficult thing, and even the civil and military officials would not object.
The next day, Prince Gong led his troops into the capital.
Along the way, people knelt down to express their gratitude and offered the best food they could.
After walking along the way, Prince Gong was filled with emotion.
He hasn't been home for several years and even feels a little strange.
He felt somewhat unfamiliar with the people and the city here.
He now really wants to go home to see his princess and daughter.
Now that his good-for-nothing son is not at home, he doesn't have to worry about him anymore.
But he couldn't leave because the emperor called him to the palace to talk.
No matter what, he is his brother, so he should go to the palace to pay his respects first.
I want to pay a visit to my brother and also go see my mother. She must have been thinking about me all these years.
When Prince Gong entered the palace, he changed into ordinary clothes and handed over his weapons to the Imperial Guards.
The two brothers met again and felt a lot of emotion.
Prince Gong was as respectful as ever, and the Emperor even shed a few tears.
The two of them had a pleasant conversation, but Liu Rumei sat behind the screen and didn't say anything.
At this time, Tang Mingchen came.
On the contrary, the emperor was quite dissatisfied with his son.
Because some time ago, he knew that Tang Mingchen went to rescue Prince Gong and killed the enemy general.
He always thought that his son was not very promising, but he never expected that he had such great ability.
I really don't understand, how can this child grow up so well even though he didn't teach himself well?
Such excellence made him a little worried.
He is only in his forties now, and he can still be the emperor for another ten years.
A prince who was too strong made him feel threatened, so the emperor did not like him very much.
But now that Prince Gong was here, he had no way of refusing and actually let Tang Mingchen in.
"I heard that you also played a big role in our victory this time?"
"Uncle Wang is so brave and resourceful. I am just helping him."
"I knew the rumors were unbelievable. If you had such ability, I wouldn't have to worry about you all day.
You should also learn from your uncle Wang and stop playing all day long."
"Son, I understand. I will remember what your father said."
The emperor really didn't expect that Tang Mingchen's attitude would be so good, and he felt relieved.
"Since you are here, please toast to your uncle on my behalf."
Tang Mingchen obediently picked up the wine glass and handed it to Prince Gong.
The emperor's breathing was a little rapid because he really wanted to see how Prince Gong would react.
He watched Prince Gong drink up the wine and couldn't help but smile.
It seems that this younger brother has no intention of rebelling and has lived up to his promise.
"Today is such a happy day."
The emperor also drank his wine in one gulp, but he felt something was wrong right after he finished it.
He couldn't help but hold his stomach. Why did it hurt so much?
The emperor's eyes were filled with disbelief. How did he get this poisoned wine into his mouth?
"You...it must be you!"
At this point, the emperor was almost unable to speak.
He kept vomiting blood, which scared Prince Gong.
"Brother, what's going on? Why are you poisoned? Someone, come quickly!"
Prince Gong shouted this while trying to save people, but no one came in from outside.
The surroundings were quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was the emperor's curses.
"You, why don't you just die!"
When the emperor shouted like this, Prince Gong was completely stunned.
He picked up the wine jug and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, there was a mechanism inside.
In other words, this is a hunt on oneself.
Unfortunately, he actually drank the poisoned wine himself!
The emperor stared angrily at Prince Gong in front of him, then slowly closed his eyes.
He never thought that after all the planning in his life, he would end up like this.
Prince Gong didn't know what to say for a moment and couldn't help but cry.
No matter what, he is still my brother!
"Uncle, this is not your fault, it is obvious that he wants to kill you.
If it wasn't an accident today, he would have lost his life, and everyone in the palace would have been buried with him."
Upon hearing this, Prince Gong felt his entire body trembling and was extremely heartbroken.
He gave everything for his brother, but he didn't expect to be suspected to this extent.
"But what should we do now?"
"Let's just treat this matter as a last act of dignity for my father. After all, I don't want him to be known as a tyrant.
I don't think there is a better outcome than sudden death.
If the emperor's uncle agrees, I will call someone in now."
Prince Gong reluctantly let go of his hand and nodded.
"Your royal grandmother still needs someone to take care of her, I'll go and see her myself.
She is old, I am afraid she can't bear it, so I will leave it to you."
How could Prince Gong not see that Tang Mingchen was killing two birds with one stone?
On the one hand, he was saving his own life, and on the other hand, he was also saving the life of his uncle, the emperor.
He was the one who brought me this glass of wine today. If I really died, who would be blamed for his murder?
The emperor's brother is so cruel that he is willing to let go of his younger brother or his son.
He wanted to send them both away together.
But I didn't expect that King Xian had grown up and had even more powerful skills.
King Xian is more thoughtful and ruthless than himself.
Since Prince Xian was able to be ruthless enough to do this, he had nothing to complain about.
When the Queen Mother found out about this, she cried bitterly.
But after crying, I calmed down.
After all, the imperial physicians have always said over the years that the emperor's health is not very good, and asked them to be mentally prepared at all times.
Now that he is really gone, although she is sad, she still has to live her life.
Fortunately, one of her two sons was still alive. After Prince Gong came back, she felt much relieved.
"Why don't you leave this time? After such a victory, you should rest at home."
After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Prince Gong naturally obeyed and decided not to leave.
