Chapter 36 Li Chengyi’s Ambition!
"Your Highness!"
Seeing that figure, Eunuch Li was suddenly startled.
"Chengyi, what do you want to do! Don't you know that no one can enter Tai Chi Hall without your father's order?"
Empress Dou De immediately stood up and scolded.
"Really? Do you think anyone still cares about the so-called emperor's orders at this time?"
Li Chengyi sneered without stopping at all.
Empress Dou De was a noble concubine, and all princes were required to salute when they came to see her. But at this time, Li Chengyi could not see Empress Dou De.
"My good father, you have already reached this point. You summoned the Grand Master and Grand Tutor, and sent out Empress Dou De. Why did you forget to become Yi?"
Tang Huang was lying on the bed, his lips tightly closed, as if he hadn't seen him.
"Presumptuous! It's not your turn to act wild here. Aren't you afraid that the prince will know?"
Empress Dou De was furious.
Lord and minister, father and son, Li Chengyi was speaking in front of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty with an extremely unrestrained manner and tone, which was simply rebellious.
And even if something happens, it should be the prince who comes in, not Li Chengyi's turn.
"well."
Eunuch Li beside him let out a long sigh and wanted to say something, but not a single word came out.
"Ha ha."
Li Chengyi glanced at Eunuch Li, who had his eyes closed, and smiled proudly.
"As expected, they are from a house of women. Didn't you see that Eunuch Li and my father didn't talk? You don't really think that the imperial army guarding the Tai Chi Palace is the subordinates of the Tai Chi Palace. Is this really under the control of the eldest brother?"
"you!"
Empress Dou De's expression changed drastically. No matter how slow she reacted, she understood that Li Chengyi had tampered with the imperial army guarding the Tai Chi Hall.
The Imperial Guards in the Taiji Hall were all personally selected by the eldest prince Li Xuantu. It was related to the safety of the Tang Emperor and the struggle for the throne. The eldest prince must be extremely cautious and all the people must be trustworthy. Under such circumstances, Li Chengyi was actually able to do something. It was simply shocking. It's unbelievable.
Looking at the young face in front of me,
Even Empress Dou De felt shuddering.
"You treacherous son! Both Xuantu and Sanlang have misjudged you. The recent events inside and outside the palace, including the fight between your eldest brother and Sanlang, must have been secretly and deliberately instigated by you!"
At this moment, Emperor Tang on the bed spoke. He closed his eyes, looked calm, and didn't seem surprised at all.
"As expected of my father, it seems that I can't hide anything from you. I have worked hard in the court for so many years, but you have never said that I have the qualifications to inherit the throne, and you are not even willing to be crowned king. Now it seems that you should have You already know everything and send me away from the throne as early as possible."
Li Chengyi's vagina.
That look in the eyes of Eunuch Li and Empress Dou De gave them a chilling feeling. This Li Chengyi was something they had never seen before.
"You traitor! If you restrain yourself during these times, I might give you a chance, but now, even if I die, I will never appoint you as the heir to the throne."
Tang Huang said calmly.
"Really? That's not up to you!"
Li Chengyi's eyes turned cold, and a ferocious look suddenly appeared on his handsome face.
Clang!
Li Chengyi flipped his fingers, and before anyone could react, he appeared next to Empress Dou De. At the same time, a thin sword two fingers wide was pressed against Empress Dou De's neck like a poisonous snake.
"you dare!"
On the dragon bed, Emperor Tang looked furious.
"Empress!"
Eunuch Li on the side was also shocked. No one expected that Li Chengyi would fall out at once and suddenly attack Empress Dou De.
Moreover, everyone in the entire palace knew that among the princes, the eldest prince and the third prince had the best martial arts. However, Li Chengyi's sword inadvertently revealed his extremely superb martial arts, and it looked no better than the eldest prince. How different is the prince from the third prince?
This is something that no one has ever known.
"Father, if you want to bypass me and summon the Grand Master and Master to draft an edict and formally appoint the candidates for the throne, you may not be able to do so. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Hand over the jade seal. I have been looking for it for a long time. I didn’t find the Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal, so it must have been hidden by you.”
"Hand over the jade seal, I can consider letting Empress Dou De and Eunuch Li go. Otherwise, Eunuch Li, who has served you respectfully for decades, and Empress Dou De, who has been deeply in love with her husband for decades, will probably be bloodied. On the spot.”
"brute!"
Emperor Tang showed a look of extreme anger. He did not expect that Li Chengyi was so vicious and wanted to use his relationship with Empress Dou De to threaten him.
However, what responded to him was the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood. A streak of red blood immediately appeared on Empress Dou De's snow-white neck, and blood immediately flowed out.
"Father, at a time like this, you should stop asking me questions like this. You have already turned your back on yourself. Are you still reluctant to give up the throne?"
"I'm worried, if I move my sword forward a few points, the woman you love most in your life will be dead."
Li Chengyi said ferociously.
"Return, return to the light!"
Empress Dou De was shocked and angry, but she didn't care about herself at all. Hearing Li Chengyi's words, he almost subconsciously looked at Emperor Tang on the dragon bed.
The initial joy was long gone. Seeing the abnormal flush on Emperor Tang's face, Empress Dou De suddenly felt cold.
"No, this is absolutely impossible..."
A look of sadness appeared on Empress Dou De's face, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
At this moment, she suddenly understood. She always thought that Emperor Tang's awakening was because his condition had improved, but she never thought that it was because Emperor Tang had overdrawn his vitality and that his life had come to an end.
"Chengyi, I will never let you succeed!"
There was a look of perseverance in Empress Dou De's eyes. She threw her body and rushed directly towards Li Chengyi regardless of it. She didn't even care about the sharp sword on her neck. However, the one who responded to her was A sharp hint of anger.
Li Chengyi knocked Empress Dou De unconscious with just one tap.
"Stupid, without my permission, do you think you will die?"
On the other side, unexpectedly, seeing this scene, both Eunuch Li and Emperor Tang on the bed breathed a sigh of relief.
What happened here involves the core political struggle. This is not what a woman should be involved in. This is the best outcome at the moment.
"Father, for your sake, I have shown mercy, but if you don't take out the jade seal, I won't promise you what will happen next."
Li Chengyi threatened fiercely.
Having said that, his eyes fell on Eunuch Li beside him. He was the most ruthless emperor. In order to get the throne, he would not mind doing even crazier things.
"Eunuch Li, help me up."
At this moment, Emperor Tang finally spoke.
Eunuch Li felt sad, but he still stepped forward to help Emperor Tang up as he was told.
Emperor Tang had been ill in bed for a long time and his body was haggard, but the moment he slowly sat up from the bed, a huge momentum and imperial majesty burst out of him again.
Even though Li Chengyi had long been disloyal, when he came into contact with Emperor Tang's sharp eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but feel a little fear.
The majesty of Emperor Tang has long been imprinted into the souls of all princes.
But just for a moment, Li Chengyi's eyes immediately turned sinister. At this point, he will never retreat.
"You rebellious son! It seems you won't give up until you get the jade seal! Eunuch Li, please take out the things."
Tang Huang said in a deep voice.
"His Majesty--"
Eunuch Li had a look of hesitation on his face, but after hesitating for a moment, he still did as he was told.
Roll!
Accompanied by a burst of machine sounds, a hidden compartment popped open under the Holy Emperor's dragon bed, and soon, a jade seal wrapped in cloud-patterned brocade was revealed.
"As expected! My guess was right, it was indeed hidden by you."
Seeing the jade seal passed down from the country, Li Chengyi's eyes suddenly became eager. His judgment was correct. Who would have thought that the jade seal was placed under the dragon bed by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
The Taiji Palace has a special status and is guarded by the imperial army of the eldest prince Li Xuantu. It is very conspicuous for anyone entering or exiting here. If the Emperor of Tang Dynasty hadn't awakened and returned to the light, he wouldn't have dared to risk entering here.
"Guizi, come here."
Emperor Tang said.
Li Chengyi didn't care, and stepped forward as he was told. He originally thought that Emperor Tang would give him to him immediately, but unexpectedly, although Emperor Tang held the jade seal, he had no intention of doing so.
Li Chengyi narrowed his eyes dangerously and subconsciously looked at Emperor Tang.
"I ask you, have you really thought about it? Whether it is Xuantu or Sanlang, their strength is superior to yours. Even if you get the jade seal and try to borrow my order, you are destined to fail."
Emperor Tang looked at Li Chengyi intently and spoke.
"I don't need to bother my father anymore."
Li Chengyi was startled, then realized and sneered:
"Forget it, Father, you don't have much time left, so I'll just tell you that the crane and the clam compete with each other and the fisherman gets the benefit. Have you always heard this sentence?"
"The eldest brother is your appointed prince, but you don't think that he can ascend to the throne in this way, do you?"
Li Chengyi sneered.
"Stupid!"
Tang Huang shook his head and looked at Li Chengyi with eyes that seemed extremely disappointed.
"You have reached this point after all. It's a pity that if it's not yours, it's not yours. Even if you try your best, you are destined to fail to ascend the throne. Since you want this Fang Yuxi so much, just take it. Just remember , this is a dream after all. "
Tang Huang said, stretched out his palm and handed over the jade seal in his hand.
Li Chengyi was so happy that he couldn't bear to hear anything. He hurriedly stepped forward, opened his hands, and wanted to take the jade seal from Emperor Tang. However, before he could walk in, the jade seal wrapped in brocade silk in Emperor Tang's hand immediately fell from his fingertips with a clatter and fell to the ground.
Li Chengyi was shocked, and subconsciously looked up, only to see Emperor Tang sitting upright, motionless, still as majestic as he remembered, but the faint trace of sadness on his face immediately receded, and the skin all over his body moved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Became pale and breathless.
——The moment he handed over the jade seal, Emperor Tang had reached the end of his life and completely fell.
"His Majesty!--"
With an extremely sad cry, Eunuch Li also discovered this scene, weeping in his heart, and fell to his knees heavily.
An era came to an end, and in a place that was hard to see with the naked eye, hum, a purple star representing the Tang Emperor swayed a few times, and then disappeared. A once prosperous era came to an end, and another even bigger one... Then came the storm.
