Chapter 351 5 The Prince Cried Thief
Yu Jiuer sat on the bed with her arms folded, trembling all over.
At this time, there was a hurried knock on the door. Yu Jiuer got up and opened the door. The Eighth Princess appeared at the door with a worried look on her face: "What's wrong? I heard you screaming in the next room!"
"It's okay! It was just a nightmare!"
"Is it a terrible nightmare? You are so scared that you are soaked!" The Eighth Princess hugged her and patted her back gently to comfort her. "Dreams and reality are opposites. Don't worry!"
Yu Jiuer looked up and saw the Eighth Princess's dark circles, so she asked, "It's so late, aren't you asleep yet? Why did you come over when I called you?"
"I don't know what's going on. I've been feeling weak lately. I sleep a lot during the day, but I toss and turn at night and can't fall asleep!"
"You don't look well, are you sick?" Yu Jiuer didn't care that it was late at night, and turned around and shouted outside, "Someone, go get Doctor Li!"
"Forget it so late at night. Let's see him tomorrow!" The Eighth Princess didn't want to mobilize a large number of people.
Yu Jiuer refused: "Look how ugly you look. What if it's an emergency? We can't take it lightly!"
Not long after, the eighth princess's accompanying doctor hurried over.
"Hurry up and check on the Eighth Princess. She has been suffering from insomnia recently and her complexion isn't good. Can you please take a look at what's going on?" Yu Jiuer urged the doctor.
Doctor Li was delighted after taking the pulse: "Congratulations, Eighth Princess, this is a pregnancy pulse!"
"Ah?" The Eighth Princess froze, stunned. Was she really pregnant with her beloved's child? Did she really have a chance to be a mother?
Yu Jiuer hugged her excitedly: "Eighth Princess, congratulations, you finally got what you wanted!"
After a long while, the Eighth Princess finally came to her senses. She stroked her belly and said with tears in her eyes, "God has finally treated me well and allowed me to bear his and my child!"
"That's great! Someone come! Notify the whole village that I will hold a big banquet in the village tomorrow and invite all the villagers to drink and congratulate the Eighth Princess!" Yu Jiuer was so happy that she forgot herself.
The Eighth Princess shook her head and said, "No, the baby has only been pregnant for a month and the fetus is not stable yet. I heard that it is best not to publicize the pregnancy in the first three months, so as not to scare the baby who has come to reincarnate!"
"Yes, yes, yes! There is such a saying, I was just too happy! Haha!"
As soon as the day dawned, Yu Jiuer couldn't wait to share the good news with the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince was so happy that he jumped up and said, "Really? I'm going to have a child? Eighth Princess, thank you!"
Yu Jiuer teased him in a low voice: "It's not your baby, look at you, you fool! Do you want to snatch the Prime Minister's child?"
"On the surface, this is my child, and the Prime Minister is just an assistant!" The Sixth Prince pouted and said arrogantly, "I don't care, the child has to call me dad! The Prime Minister can just be his godfather!"
"You're already vying for favor before you even give birth?" Yu Jiuer shook her head and laughed, "You're really promising if you don't fight for a wife but for a son!"
"Hahaha... I'd love to!"
While the Witch Village was filled with joy, the capital was facing many crises.
The battle lasted for half the night outside the palace, but at dawn the winner was still undecided.
The fifth prince also pretended to come over and guard the emperor.
The emperor was already showing signs of impatience. He walked out of the imperial study and paced back and forth on the steps with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly, Jun Mo appeared and swung a sword directly at the emperor.
The sword flew rapidly towards his face. The emperor's pupils shrank slightly and he was so frightened that he forgot to react for a moment.
Jun Mo originally wanted to block the sharp sword flying towards him above the emperor's head, but the Fifth Prince used his inner strength to shake off the sharp blade flying above the emperor's head, and at the same time flew forward to block Jun Mo's sword, and was accidentally scratched on the arm by Jun Mo's sword!
Shang Buqun's eyes flashed, and he grabbed the guard who was swinging the sword behind the emperor.
The guard said in horror: "Master Prime Minister, I threw the sword in my hand to block it when I saw Prince Jing's sword flying towards the emperor!"
The emperor shouted, "Jun Mo, do you want to kill your father?"
Jun Mo had fought for half the night, kneeling on the ground covered in blood, and now he was still being wronged. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He knelt on the ground to argue:
"Father, I swung my sword to block the flash of sword behind you. My sword was not aimed at you, but at the sword above your head. It was because my fifth brother was eager to show off that I misunderstood. I have no intention of hurting you! Please understand!"
The fifth prince covered the wound on his arm and laughed coldly: "Fourth brother, in front of everyone, you are still stubborn? If I hadn't flown up to block it, your sword would have cut off my father's head!"
"You are slandering me!" Jun Mo looked at him sternly, "So this is what you are planning. You want to use my filial piety to my father to get rid of me? Father, don't fall for it!"
The fifth prince took the initiative and said, "Fourth brother, facts speak louder than words. We have seen it with our own eyes. How can it be false? Are you planning to take advantage of the chaos to kill my father and seize the throne? You can't do that today as long as I am here!"
"Don't put the blame on someone else!" Shang Buqun also blamed the fifth prince. "I saw that the guards drew their swords first, and then Prince Jing's sword came over! You guys are putting on a good show. Do you think the emperor is so easy to fool?"
"You and Prince Jing are of the same mind, so you should speak for him. Father has sharp eyes, so don't try to frame me!" The fifth prince cried thief, with a pure and filial look on his face.
"My eldest brother attacked my mansion, and I didn't even care about my wife and children before rushing to protect my father. Why are you wrongly accusing me?"
"Shut up, everyone!"
The emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache. Tonight, his eldest son forced the emperor to abdicate, and his fourth and fifth sons were hostile to each other. What was going on?
Just when he was having a headache, the emperor's golden armor guards came to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Jing's Jinyiwei suddenly shot us while fighting, and wanted to kill us in the Jinluan Palace. I'm afraid the Jinyiwei want to take advantage of the chaos to do evil!"
The emperor stared at Jun Mo with wide eyes: "What? Jun Mo, what do you want to do? Do you want to take advantage of the chaos to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes, or just kill me?"
The Golden Armor Guards are only loyal to him and will not spread false information!
"Father, it is impossible for the Royal Guards to do anything to harm you, and it is impossible for your son to hold you hostage. There must be some misunderstanding here. Please look into this!" Jun Mo was a little anxious. He was so kind that he didn't expect that the fifth brother would kill two birds with one stone.
The noisy shouting and yelling outside, the words of the Golden Armored Guards, and the blood "dripping" down the Fifth Emperor's arm, all reminded him that the Fourth Emperor might have rebelled as well.
"I shouldn't have let you leave Yinshan County because of my soft-heartedness! You are such a nuisance!"
The emperor was so angry that he pulled out the whip with a hook at his waist and whipped Jun Mo hard, his eyes full of hatred towards Jun Mo.
Jun Mo swallowed his anger, gritted his teeth and endured it silently.
Shang Buqun wanted to speak for him, but Jun Mo covered his face with his hands and quickly gave Shang Buqun a look, signaling him to keep quiet.
In this situation, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. The only option now is to surrender. If you resist, you will fall into Lao Wu's trap and he will get what he wants.
Only when he was out of breath did the emperor yell, "Come here, take this evil beast to the clan dungeon and lock him up!"
Jun Mo remained silent. He wanted to see if his father would regret his decision when he found out that the fifth child, whom he had been protecting so wholeheartedly, put a sword to his neck and threatened him to hand over the imperial seal.
Jun Mo was taken away. Shang Buqun clenched his fists, feeling fortunate that the emperor did not punish him.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a golden-armored guard came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, a large number of soldiers are pouring in from outside the city, probably as many as 100,000!"
Shang Buqun thought to himself that something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "Did you see clearly? Are there really 100,000 soldiers and horses?"
"Yes! The shouting outside the palace is deafening, there are probably more than a hundred thousand people!"
The emperor's face changed slightly, and he shouted in disbelief: "How is it possible? How could he have so many soldiers under my nose?"
Then, another guard came to report: "Report - Your Majesty, there are a large number of rebels lurking in the Imperial Guards and the Imperial City Army. Please use the tiger talisman to mobilize the troops outside the city to rescue us. I'm afraid we can't hold out for long!"
"How could this be? How could he be so capable? Let's go! I want to see how powerful he can be."
The emperor clutched the tiger talisman tightly, and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
