Chapter 1044 The emperor was so regretful and hateful!

The two men still entered the city through the secret passage dug by King Ping and entered the palace.

The number of guards at Xianghe Palace was also reduced a lot this time. It was probably because King Ping felt that a person who had been poisoned and bedridden had no ability to escape, and he was afraid that someone would come to kill him, so he transferred most of the palace masters to his side for close protection.

It can only be said that if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. King Ping did too many bad things, so he was worried that others would come to assassinate him, and he wished he could surround himself with palace masters to protect him tightly.

This made it easy for Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan to secretly transport both the retired emperor and the emperor out.

At first, the retired emperor was reluctant to leave. When he heard that the old prince had already led his troops to guard outside the city and that Prince Ping had proclaimed himself emperor, he refused to open the city gates.

The emperor was silent for a while, closed his eyes tightly, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he said firmly: "Let's go!"

The emperor and the retired emperor were both taken out while unconscious. After all, except Mo Beihan, no one else could enter Qiao Ran's space while awake.

In the Dingbei Army camp outside the city, the awakened emperor finally saw his old brother.

The two brothers held each other's hands and sighed for a while.

Finally, the Emperor took a breath and said:

"Let me get to the city and teach that stinky grandson a lesson!"

Everyone accompanied the emperor to the city.

On the city wall, Prince Ping could not believe his eyes when he saw the well-behaved emperor, and the emperor who was sober and in much better spirits although sitting in the sedan chair.

He hurriedly sent someone back to the palace to check, and found that the emperor and the retired emperor were indeed not in the palace.

But who is King Ping? He rolled his eyes and came up with a plan, deciding to deny his identity to the death.

"Who is under the city? How dare they let someone pretend to be the emperor? Don't they know that this is a capital crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of the clan?"

"How dare you! You unfilial son! How dare you poison your own father and grandfather? You deserve to die! Open the city gates and surrender!"

The emperor was so angry that his lungs seemed to explode.

The Emperor also shouted in a weak voice:

"You unfilial son! Hurry up and open the city gates and apologize! Stop before it's too late. I can still spare your life because of our past friendship. Otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

The emperor is so regretful now!

He never imagined that his son, whom he had spoiled for more than 20 years, would dare to poison him!

Now that his body is in such a dilapidated state, it is absolutely impossible for him to continue to be the emperor.

But after careful consideration, he sadly discovered that none of his sons could be of great use.

The emperor was so regretful and hateful!

Now it’s no longer possible to focus on training a successor, as all of his sons have been raised astray by him.

Needless to say, the six kings outside the city plus the King of the Sea all wanted to attack the city to seize power and usurp the throne, and the few who remained in the capital were still young.

After much thought, only the crown prince can barely be a mediocre emperor, but he doesn't have the brains to achieve something, and it would be good if he doesn't make mistakes.

The emperor thought that if he could live a few more years, he could stay by the prince's side and assist him for a few more years, and not let the easily influenced prince believe in slander and be treated as a puppet by the ministers. This would be a great honor for his ancestors.

But the emperor didn't think so.

He was already very clear that there was no one in his lineage who was suitable to succeed the throne, and it was really time for his younger brother's lineage to take the turn.
