Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 495: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 54

At this time, outside the hall and the palace, the princes, the emperor's sons and the ministers were fighting fiercely.

The Third and Eighth Princes had already started a fight outside the palace, and the confrontation was in full swing. The Sixth Prince was sitting in a wheelchair. Although he couldn't move his legs, he could still move his mouth.

He was like a troublemaker, sometimes encouraging this side, sometimes cheering that side on, sometimes giving information here, sometimes giving hints there, his main goal was to be fair and not help anyone, and by the way, he took the time to explain the battle situation here to the fifth prince behind him.

Anyway, he is the busiest person in the whole place.

The Fifth Prince and his men were watching from a distance, preparing to reap the benefits while also sending troops to surround the mansion of his mortal enemy, the Tenth Prince.

The Fourth Prince was commanding the Royal Guards to guard the palace gates tightly. Although he was capable, he could not withstand the enemy's large numbers. The First Prince and General Zhennan from his camp were trying hard to attack the palace gates, and the Fourth Prince could hardly hold on!

The Seventh Prince struggled to maintain order in the palace while assisting the Fourth Prince in combat and providing him with support and supplies.

Except for the diehard royalists, all officials, big and small, who had already taken sides moved.

The entire capital city is now in chaos. The people and merchants have closed their shops. There is no one on the street except the soldiers and officials' carriages passing by.

When His Majesty woke up, he was surrounded by only his personal eunuch, the imperial physician on duty, and the confined Empress! The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look around, and he instantly understood.

The people around here have already been the queen’s people!

"It's you? You, you vicious woman! I really shouldn't have spared your life out of our old friendship."

"Your Majesty, by sparing my life, this is not out of nostalgia, but torturing me, isn't it?"

"You and I have been in love as husband and wife for more than 30 years. Why did it come to this?" The emperor really didn't want to kill her. After all, their friendship as a teenager and their mutual support over the years were not fake.

Although he was wary of the Queen and the Crown Prince's excessive power, he never wanted them to die.

"Love? Don't you think these two words are funny? The emperor's love means leaving me with nothing? It means killing my son?" The Ouyang family is fine, but the death of the prince is a pain that she will never be able to let go!

Her prince was born with a poison and had to take medicine since birth. For more than twenty years, he had been tortured by the poison every day, suffering unbearable pain. He had taken more medicine than food and had never had a good day!

Even to her death, she could never forget the young prince, who, while taking medicine with tears in his eyes, smiled and comforted her, "It's not bitter at all, mother. Don't worry, your son will definitely get better in the future. When he gets better, he will definitely be filial to you. Your son will work hard to grow up, just wait for me!"

After years of persistent medical treatment, taking medicine, acupuncture and taking medicinal baths, the toxins were finally mostly eliminated. When he was about to recover his health, he was poisoned again. His broken body could no longer withstand the invasion of the toxins. He suffered pain for several days and nights before he died!

She could accept that her son did not become emperor or crown prince, as long as her son lived and died in good health.

But she forgot that her son was born in the royal family, and no one could tolerate a healthy legitimate son, let alone a legitimate son of the empress from an outsider family with great power over the world!

The day the prince recovered his health would be the day he died, but she realized it too late.

If she could do it again, she would rather exchange her position as queen, the tremendous power of her mother's family, and her son's position as crown prince for a healthy son.

"That's what you and the Ouyang family have done to yourselves. You've murdered the heir to the throne and disrupted the government. Your crimes are unforgivable and you deserve death. I've spared your life and spared your entire clan, which is already a mercy."

"My son is dead. I have no intention of explaining what is right or wrong. Your Majesty, do you still want to waste your time on this nonsense? Let's get down to business now! This is what you owe to the Ouyang family." After saying that, she took out an imperial edict from her sleeve and prepared pen and ink!

"What is your relationship with Lao Wu? Is it worth it for you and the Ouyang family to make such sacrifices?" The emperor asked her while staring at her without looking at the imperial edict!

"Your Majesty has figured it out? You are really smart, but there is no reward! Why don't you guess what our relationship is?" The queen smiled very proudly.

"Is his last name Ouyang?" the emperor asked tentatively.

"Haha, I won't tell you. No matter what his last name is, he's your child now, right? What good will it do to him? Didn't the emperor value him very much in the past?"

From wife to concubine, he is rich and powerful. Didn't he do this with your permission? I thought you had tacitly approved him as the crown prince, but why did you change your mind?

If I had always taken it seriously, why would I have done this? Then I wouldn't have been in this situation today, right?

"Your Majesty, if you don't issue an order, you won't have many sons left! When I arrived, the fourth son was already injured and I don't think he will hold on for much longer. The third and eighth sons are both injured, so the outcome should be decided soon." The Queen said without any anxiety!

The emperor remained silent, lost in thought. Could he say he used to think highly of Old Five? If it weren't for the Ouyang family's assassination, how could he have discovered the clues?

It was a pity that he had never found out who in the Ouyang family his concubine had an affair with! How on earth did they do it?

But since that incident, his control over the harem has become increasingly strict.

The investigation revealed the assassination incident on New Year's Eve, so they took advantage of the situation and prepared a large-scale purge to find out whether the people around them were human or ghosts, so as to avoid another large-scale assassination like the last time!

For this, he was shot by an arrow as a result of a self-torture trick, but the poisoned arrow was replaced by his men, otherwise how could he still be alive?

"Your Majesty, are you delaying time and waiting for someone? Can you guess why your trump card, the Tenth Master, hasn't shown up yet?" The Queen didn't care about the Majesty's attitude and continued to speak.

"What did you do to the Tenth Prince?" The emperor finally lost his composure!

"All the adult princes have taken action, why didn't the tenth prince move? I am not stupid, how could I not pay attention? Look, my people found out that he went to the outskirts of the capital, so of course they sent people to kill him! Your Majesty knows that the Ouyang family has a deep foundation and it will take a while to kill them all." The Queen laughed sweetly!

At this moment, a guard entered the palace! "Reporting to the Queen, the Fourth Prince has been shot by an arrow, and the palace gates can no longer be defended. The Third Prince was defeated and killed outside the palace, and now it is the Fifth Prince who is fighting the Eighth Prince."

"Your Majesty, please stop talking nonsense and issue an edict as soon as possible! Otherwise, the eldest brother will come in, and he is not as gentle as I am. Don't worry, you won't be able to wait for the tenth brother to rescue you." The Queen was also a little uneasy.

She had done so much, and the Ouyang family had paid a heavy price. They were not about to let others reap the benefits. With her mind preoccupied with other matters, she had also ignored the emperor's physical condition, which was far from as weak as when he had just woken up.

"Really? Since you are sure that I can't wait, why are you so anxious? Now I am the fish and you are the knife, so what are you worried about? Anyway, the fighting has already started outside, and there will be a winner today. I also want to see what my son's ability is! What? Your Ouyang family is full of talents, and with your help, you don't believe that the fifth brother will win?" The emperor turned over and found a comfortable position to lie down for a chat!

It would have been fine if he didn't move, but as soon as he moved, the Queen discovered that something was wrong with the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, aren't you worried about the lives of your other sons? Your health? You are not poisoned." The Queen was surprised. She could be so arrogant because she had poisoned the Emperor. She acted like this because the Emperor was dying.

The previous chronic poison plus the poison arrow on New Year's Eve meant that the emperor was already on his last legs. She had just arrived, carrying the lead for the chronic poison. Once activated, the poison would undoubtedly kill, but the victim would wake up before death.

The fact that His Majesty was able to wake up is simply because his physical potential has been stimulated, and he will die in less than an hour, right?

But after chatting for a while, why did the emperor seem to be getting more and more energetic? Did the medicine expire? Or was this a last-minute lucid dream? But that wasn't right. This wasn't a last-minute lucid dream!

Could it be that the chronic poison has been cured? So, this is a trap set by the emperor?

"It was you who poisoned me! I was poisoned, how could I not be poisoned? The poison has already penetrated deep into my internal organs. You are so vicious. You keep saying that you love me, but then you turn around and poison me. Your love is really unique." The emperor looked at her sarcastically.

"You found out? That's right! Since you have already discovered that he was poisoned and later found Xiaowu, how could you not make a plan? In that case, everything that happened today was within your calculations?" The queen finally reacted, but she was not in a hurry. Now everyone in the palace belonged to her. If the poison was solved, she could just give him the poison later. Anyway, she didn't want to walk out alive today, so she would definitely take the emperor with her before leaving.

Thinking of this, she quietly took out a pill from her sleeve pocket, stuffed it into the emperor's mouth when he wasn't paying attention, then covered his mouth and forced him to swallow it.

"Your Majesty, you are tired, and it is time to rest. Don't worry, no matter where you go, I will always be with you. The prince is gone, and my heart is dead. I have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Since you've already discovered the poisoning and Xiaowu, you should have made preparations long ago. Xiaowu is definitely not going to make it. So, who sits in this position? What does it matter to me?" The Queen said this very gently.

"Wuwu, wuwu." The emperor was frightened by the sudden action of this crazy woman, and she covered his mouth and nose, almost suffocating him.

I could only kick a button at the end of the bed with my foot!

Cui Xiaoxiao, who was watching the fun with great interest, heard the sound that had been agreed upon before, and walked out from the closet at the back. She pulled the Queen away, and the Emperor, whose face was flushed red, finally breathed in a deep breath!

"You...you are Prince Jing's concubine?" The Queen who was pushed away was confused. Why was there someone else in the room?

"It's you, my lady. Thank you, Her Majesty, for remembering me!" Cui Xiaoxiao bowed to the two of them. She didn't want to come either. She didn't want to get involved in such a major royal affair. If she knew too much, her life would be in danger.

She came on the sixth day of His Majesty's coma. The Tenth Prince thought that His Majesty was really unconscious and was extremely anxious! There was really no other way, so the Tenth Prince asked her to see His Majesty and see if she had any solution.

During that time, she had been studying the various medicines she had taken out of the cave. When she heard what the Tenth Prince had asked, she thought it would be a good opportunity to review the results of her studies.

She agreed to go and see without much objection, but her only request was that she do it in secret, as she didn't want others to know that she had medical skills.

The Tenth Prince agreed, and he did everything he could to get her to secretly check the emperor's pulse. He said the imperial doctors were all out of ideas, and then he remembered the antidote she had developed last time, which was faster and more effective than the imperial doctors'...

Even when they arrived at the emperor's bedroom, the tenth prince said, "Xiaoxiao, don't feel pressured. Just do your best. Even if the cure can't be achieved, it doesn't matter. No one will blame her, and no one else will know you were there."

The tenth prince was so filial, but he had no idea that this was a trap set by the emperor! As a result, these words were overheard by the emperor. Cui Xiaoxiao found something wrong when she took his pulse. Suddenly, the two of them were trapped, and the emperor even discovered that she was a doctor!

Fortunately, the Tenth Prince did not say anything inappropriate when the Emperor was unconscious, otherwise he might really be held accountable by the Emperor later!

The two who discovered the emperor's secret could only work for him. These past few days, the tenth prince has been driven around by the emperor, while she has been left in the palace to research the antidote for the chronic poison!

However, the emperor also knew that he could not offend a doctor or he would die quietly! He did not force Cui Xiaoxiao to make the antidote, letting her do as she pleased, and it didn't matter if she couldn't cure it.

But she couldn't leave here. After all, this matter was of great importance. If the news leaked out, the emperor's plan would be ruined. Her staying here would not only give the Tenth Prince a reason to work hard, but also avoid the trouble of news leaking out.

Moreover, she stayed here without anyone knowing, secretly and evasively, just like a beautiful girl hidden in a golden house.

The emperor pretended to be unconscious, and kept it a secret from everyone except his trusted secret guards and an old imperial physician who gave him a pulse check to show signs of poisoning. Even his personal eunuchs were unaware of it.

But this always busy man suddenly felt bored when he had some free time. He even chatted with her occasionally when he was bored and no one was around. In order to get out of bed and move around, he even asked her for some drugs to knock out the people around him.

Cui Xiaoxiao was also extremely bored. She couldn't chat freely with the emperor, so she had to hide in the inner room and continue researching the antidote for her poison. However, it was not without results. After spending a few days with the emperor, the emperor agreed not to give women to the tenth prince!

There are even vague signs that they want to make her a regular employee. If the research on the antidote is successful, she should be able to be successfully promoted, right?

"Why are you here?" The queen was also surprised. Then she looked at the emperor. Could it be that this old pervert had taken a fancy to his daughter-in-law?

"Isn't the emperor ill? My prince is worried, so he asked me to take care of him!" What else could it be? What was that look in her eyes? She wasn't Wu Zetian.

"Hmph, there's a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there's no door to hell but you're forcing your way in, right? It seems like you came out too late, and I've just fed His Majesty medicine. But it's a good thing you're here, because I was worried that I had no evidence to hold against Xiao Shi, and I also lacked someone to take the blame! Just capture her!" The Queen signaled the eunuchs to take action.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. It's just a candy bean, and I picked it with my own hands. Your Majesty, is it sweet?" At this point, can't you see the situation clearly?
