I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Everyone took orders and took action.

Emperor Hexu looked at the places in the imperial palace where blood was flowing like a river, and finally he sighed softly.

Then go down the stairs.

Eunuch Li followed closely behind.

Concubine Xian stepped forward and tried to support Emperor Hexu.

He gently patted the back of Concubine Xian's hand and said to her in a vicissitudes of life voice: "Take a rest, I want to walk around."

"Rui'er, come walk with your father." Emperor Hexu looked at Xie Jingrui, whose face was covered in blood, with gentle eyes.

Xie Jingrui raised his hand and wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve, then strode towards Emperor Hexu.

The father and son walked one after the other in the palace.

There were traces of fighting everywhere along the way.

Countless casualties.

After a long while, Emperor Hexu spoke slowly, "Rui'er, have you noticed this from the beginning?"

Xie Jingrui paused, looked at the old back of Emperor Hexu, and clenched his hands. Some things could not be hidden anymore.

He knelt down in front of Emperor Hexu and said, "Father, I didn't mean to hide anything from you."

The words fell.

Emperor Hexu stood with his hands behind his back and said to Xie Jingrui, "Get up and accompany me to the tower to take a look."

The father and daughter walked in silence all the way to the highest point of the city wall.

Looking outside, Kyoto city is in the distance.

What was strange was that there were no signs of fighting on the roads leading from Kyoto City to the Imperial Palace. Instead, many people were standing there, stunned.

There was no blood on the ground.

Emperor Hexu was very puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"

Only then did Xie Jingrui realize that it was a witch.

The witch used some tricks to stop those people from fighting and they were only temporarily controlled.

Xie Jingrui gave a look to the secret guards beside him, indicating that they should put those people in jail.

Emperor Hexu nodded slightly, then turned back to look at Xie Jingrui and asked, "Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"

Xie Jingrui wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Emperor Hexu. "Today, we are father and son, not monarch and subject. There is no need to be so polite."

Emperor Hexu took out a handkerchief with a look of heartache and gently wiped the blood off his face.

But no matter how hard Emperor Hexu wiped, the strong smell of blood on his body could not be wiped off.

Xie Jingrui took the handkerchief from Emperor Hexu's hand and said in a deep voice, "Father, the Crown Prince has passed away."

Emperor Hexu was startled for a moment, and then asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Xie Jingrui repeated helplessly, "Today, Yue'er and I went to the prince's palace and wanted to meet His Royal Highness, but the Crown Princess was making excuses and refused to let us meet her."

"There was also a lot of strange smell in the courtyard, like rotting meat, very heavy, and cold air came out from the prince's bedroom from time to time."

Emperor Hexu almost fell down after listening to Xie Jingrui's words.

Xie Jingrui quickly supported Xie Jingrui.

After a long time, Emperor Hexu finally recovered from his shock and grief.

"Take me to see it." Emperor Hexu said with a painful look on his face.

"Father, the prince has probably been gone for many days. Mother, we can no longer keep it secret, so we started this matter tonight." Xie Jingrui explained.

Emperor Hexu didn't want to hear more of this right now.

He raised his hand slightly, signaling Xie Jingrui not to continue.

Emperor Hexu's back became more and more hunched.

Even though he knew this would happen, he still couldn't stop them from seizing the throne no matter how hard he tried.

When Xie Jingrui brought Emperor Hexu to the prince's bedroom, the unpleasant smell inside had already been cleaned up by the servants.

The Crown Princess sat leisurely in the courtyard, waiting for the Queen's final victory.

"The Emperor has arrived!" a voice rang out.

The Crown Princess suddenly jumped up from the chaise longue and looked at the maid beside her in surprise; "What did they say just now?"

The maid's face turned pale, and she knelt down and said, "Crown Princess, yes, the Emperor is here."

The Crown Princess instantly left the chaise longue and began to walk outside with big strides.

When she came out, she saw Emperor Hexu and Xie Jingrui walking towards the prince's bedroom.

"Father!" The Crown Princess hurriedly stepped forward and subconsciously blocked Emperor Hexu and Xie Jingrui at the door.

However, when the Prince's eyes fell on the bloodstains on Xie Jingrui's face.

The Crown Princess' heart sank instantly.

His face turned a little paler.

"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ill, you'd better not go in." The Crown Princess spoke cautiously.

Emperor Hexu's eyes were unusually cold.

His eyes swept over the Crown Princess, and without saying anything, he walked straight inside.

The maids had long been fed up with such a life and no longer tried to stop the emperor.

When Emperor Hexu and Xie Jingrui came to the prince's bed, the unpleasant smell came again.

At this moment, the prince's eyes were closed, his face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.

Xie Jingrui took a step forward.

He raised his hand, trying to lift the prince's blanket.

The Crown Princess took a step forward and said to Xie Jingrui, "My Lord, don't."

"Go down." Emperor Hexu said coldly.

The Crown Princess was pulled away by several old women.

Xie Jingrui glanced at Emperor Hexu.

At last.

Slowly he lifted the quilt covering the prince.

The unpleasant stench rushed out instantly.

Emperor Hexu frowned.

Look at the prince.

The prince was seen lying quietly, but his hands and feet were exerting force in a strange way, and there was ice beneath him.

The skin on his face was intact, but the clothes he wore seemed particularly loose.

Emperor Hexu wanted to raise his hand to touch the prince's hand.

But Xie Jingrui stopped him; "Father."

Xie Jingrui's eyes fell on the thing that was squirming under the prince's clothes.

He quickly helped Emperor Hexu up.

A snake's head quickly popped out from the prince's clothes.

It stared fiercely in the direction of Emperor Hexu, spitting out its tongue continuously.

The snake's tongue is black with bright colors on it.

Such a snake must be extremely poisonous.

Emperor Hexu was still frightened.

The snake suddenly crawled back into the prince's clothes.

"How bold you are." After Emperor Hexu recovered from his fear, he coldly scolded the Crown Princess who was not far away.

The Crown Princess knelt down hurriedly and wailed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't know about this,..."

"You take care of the prince's food, clothing and daily life in the prince's palace every day, but you don't even know when the prince died. What's the point of being the prince's consort?" Emperor Hexu said in a stern voice.

The Crown Princess lowered her head, knowing that she could not escape this time. "When the prince came, he was still fine, but after one night, he became like this. I really don't know why..."

"Someone come here." Emperor Hexu didn't want to listen to the Crown Princess's nonsense, so he called all the servants in the Crown Prince's courtyard over.

He said sternly, "Tell me, what happened? The prince passed away, why didn't anyone inform me?"
