The emperor had no time to retract his hand, and everyone saw his movements clearly. It was actually him who pushed the second prince, just to use the other prince to block the knife.

"..." Everyone present was speechless. Whether they were those who supported the second prince's success in seizing the throne in the past or his enemies, they all sympathized with him at this moment and were filled with filial piety.

No matter how bad the second prince may be, at least he is sincere and filial, while the emperor is as disgusting as ever, with no good qualities to be found.

The emperor, who felt guilty after seeing Lin Yuezheng's desperate eyes and everyone's contemptuous gazes, turned his face sideways and murmured: "I didn't want to, it was an unintentional mistake..."

The eldest prince blinked and subconsciously drew the sword. Blood spattered, blurring his vision and causing Lin Yuezheng to fall softly in a pool of blood.

His strength was losing rapidly, and his body was getting colder. Recalling the scenes from his childhood, Lin Yuezheng was heartbroken. The pain was so extreme that it made him laugh out loud.

First there was a chuckle, then a laugh, and then he laughed hard while coughing. The laughter made everyone present fall into silence and couldn't bear to look away.

The eldest prince was slightly stunned. Before today, he had dreamed of killing the emperor and the second prince, but at this moment, when he actually saw the second prince's brother lying in front of him, he felt empty in his heart.

Lin Yuechen had imagined what kind of bloody drama would be staged at the family banquet, but she never expected that the second emperor brother who had been fighting with her for so long would end up in this way.

She couldn't help but call out sincerely, "Second Emperor Brother!"

Perhaps this was the last time she called him. Whatever entanglements she had in the past, they would eventually dissipate with his passing.

Gao Yun glanced at Lin Yuechen, frowned slightly, and fixed his gaze on the unconscious Li Xiaoji, then moved away and looked to the right side of the imperial garden.

Prime Minister Jing and others had complicated expressions, and the eyes of some foolish loyalists finally changed when they looked at the emperor again.

He Yuanlan, who was trying hard to concentrate and regain her strength, frowned, and while no one was paying attention, she quietly touched the soft sword that fell aside.

Lin Yuezheng couldn't feel the complex mood swings of the crowd, and didn't want to pay attention to it.

He just kept laughing, although he didn't know what he was laughing at. Was he laughing at his father's cruelty and his innocence, or was he unwilling to die like this, or was he regretting not being able to be by his wife's side?

But he just couldn't stop. Blood rushed out crazily with his movements, making him feel colder and colder.

Maybe he was bored, Lin Yuezheng suddenly stopped speaking, used his last bit of strength to look at Lin Yuechen who was leaning aside, and mouthed silently: "No matter what, spare the lives of my wife and children!"

Lin Yuechen, who recalled the past and was upset, understood what he meant and sighed softly. The softness in her heart made her not want him to die in peace, so she nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Lin Yuezheng felt relieved and could face death calmly, because he knew that the Sixth Emperor's brother always kept his word.

And what happened today, if he guessed correctly, should be under the control of the Sixth Emperor Brother. The First Emperor Brother and the Third Emperor Brother were just making wedding clothes for others.

Therefore, he did not choose to beg the eldest prince. Even if he begged, the eldest prince's words could not be trusted, so he asked Lin Yuechen for a promise with clear purpose.

Looking at the sky above, Lin Yuezheng suddenly saw the shadow of Concubine Ning. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and called softly: "Concubine, have you come to pick me up?"

"Mother, I'm sorry..." Lin Yuezheng lowered his hands weakly, his eyes gradually lost their light, and at the moment when they fell completely into darkness, he was thinking of his wife who was about to give birth.

"Ah——" At the same moment, the second prince's concubine seemed to sense something, her heart felt empty, her stomach hurt, and she shouted uncontrollably, which frightened her confidant maid and hurriedly called the imperial doctor.

Holding her stomach, the second princess's tears fell like broken beads, "Husband, husband..."

An inexplicable sadness came over her so heavily that the second princess couldn't breathe. She wanted to give up for a moment, but she gritted her teeth and held on when she remembered Lin Yuezheng's face.

He gave the order immediately and decisively, "Don't panic, follow my instructions. Zhuyuan will take people to call Po Wen, and Yurun will be responsible for allocating manpower to cooperate with the imperial doctor. If you need to prescribe medicine, arrange it immediately."

"Yupan, go and ask the housekeeper to bring some people to the front yard to cry and run away, and act like I am about to die prematurely. The more you cry, the better!"

"Also, Dingjuan, please contact Mr. Fu immediately and ask him to come and take charge!"

Under the assignment of the second prince and concubine, the backyard instantly returned to calm, and everyone acted according to the instructions. Seeing this, the second prince and concubine lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

She secretly swore that she would give birth to a child safely. Regardless of male or female, they would be her and the second prince's treasures.

When the second prince's house cried loudly, in the royal garden of the palace, looking at the second prince lying motionless on the ground, the queen shed tears just because she thought of Concubine Ning.

The eldest prince silently raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, as if there were tears in them, so he closed his eyes.

The third prince was speechless as he held his broken arm. Even if he racked his brains, he could not imagine the unexpected incident of the emperor pulling the second prince to block the knife.

I thought that the second prince was favored the most, but I didn't expect that in the end he would be nothing more than that. Thinking about the previous battles for favor, it was really a joke.

Thinking of this, the eldest prince and the third prince sneered at the same time, looked at the emperor who was still defending himself, and said in unison: "You are really our good father!"

The emperor was so angry that he was ridiculed by the two traitors, but when the eldest prince came towards him with a knife, he turned around and ran away. However, he was poisoned and had no strength, so he could only crawl away with his hands together.

The eldest prince didn't want to waste any more time and quickly caught up with him. Seeing this, the third prince suddenly felt the pleasure of getting revenge and shouted: "Kill him, kill him!"

"Big Brother, kill him to avenge us. It was he who killed several of our brothers. It was he who forced us to kill each other and eat each other's flesh!"

Being provoked by the third prince, the eldest prince showed his ferocity, stepped on the emperor, raised his knife, and aimed it at his head.

The emperor froze, unable to struggle as he watched the sharp blade approaching him. When he was only a hair away from death, what he thought of was that he would not have used the second prince to block the knife if he had known better.

In that case, the second prince could still stop the eldest prince for him at this moment.

But when the eldest prince was about to chop at the emperor's neck to take revenge, Li Xiaoji, who was sitting in a corner, clutching his stomach and feeling dazed, suddenly jumped out and slapped the eldest prince on the back.

The eldest prince had no time to react, and was directly shot by Li Xiaoji, flying out and landing heavily on the ground.

Before the First Prince's men formed a formation to kill Jiu Qiansui, they heard Li Xiaoji's order, and a group of soldiers who had obviously just been bloodied rushed into the Imperial Garden in an instant, and restrained the First Prince and the Third Prince's people.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that Li Xiaoji had been prepared to connive with the eldest prince and the third prince to force the palace to seize the throne, so as to give him the opportunity to catch them all.

Those bloody soldiers were probably already taking care of the eldest prince and the third prince, and the palace was now under the control of Li Xiaoji.

The eldest prince spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at Li Xiaoji with a face full of reluctance, and said angrily: "You're a castrated dog, I should have guessed that you wouldn't fall for it so easily!"

The third prince seemed to be crazy and kept shouting: "No matter who it is, just kill him!"

Li Xiaoji smiled, ignored the eldest prince and the third prince, and looked at the emperor who had just recovered from the near-death despair with a half-smile.
