“Prime Minister Su, do you know what you’re doing? You’ll ruin the Su family, Consort Shu, and her son.” Xiao Heng advised.
“King Rui is here too, right? When King Rui appeared, we already had no way out.” Prime Minister Su pointed the torch to the ground and added, “There’s still a quarter of an hour. I’ll wait for the Emperor’s decision.”
“You… Alright, wait a moment.” After Xiao Heng finished speaking, he immediately left and told the Emperor the news.
The Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood. “Good, what a great prime minister!”
Then, he ordered, “Bring Consort Shu and King Kang to me.”
“Yes.” Xiao Heng responded and then sent people to find them.
Consort Shu was found very quickly. Unexpectedly, she and all the concubines and princesses in the palace were tied up tightly.
On the other side, King Kang and the Seventh Prince had been helping the Emperor to cover the rear. When he saw that the situation was not right, he wanted to escape with the excuse of peeing. The Seventh Prince immediately stopped them and said, “Fourth brother, you’d better endure it. The palace is filled with danger right now, so it’s better not to leave.”
“You, how can I tolerate this?” King Kang replied unhappily.
“It’s so late at night, and besides Imperial Grandmother, everyone else is a man. Why don’t you go behind the tree to relieve yourself?”
“You’re really something.”
“I’m just thinking about your safety.” After the Seventh Prince finished speaking, he ignored him.
At this moment, Xiao Heng walked over and said, “King Kang, the Emperor has invited you.”
King Kang nodded and followed Xiao Heng.
After seeing the Emperor, before he could bow, the Emperor raised his hand to stop him and said, “Follow me.”
After saying that, he walked toward the imperial court with Xiao Heng.
Consort Shu was also escorted up.
Seeing this, King Rui followed them in.
King Kang was shocked when he saw the situation in the room. He had thought that his eldest cousin had come in to send a message to his uncle to cancel the plan. He did not expect them to carry out the original plan.
But there were still 50,000 soldiers outside. So what if they got the imperial edict? In the end, they would still have to surrender obediently.
When Consort Shu came in and saw the situation in the room, she was so frightened that she almost kneeled. What was he doing? Did he want to burn her to death?
Thinking of this, she struggled as she looked at the Emperor.
Seeing this, the Emperor asked Xiao Heng to remove the rag from her mouth. “Consort Shu, your big brother wants me to write down the edict of abdication and pass the throne to King Kang. I wonder what you think of this.”
“I…” Consort Shu didn’t know how to answer.
If she said she wanted the same, she would probably die the next moment.
However, if she denied it, then the Su family would end up miserably. She and her son would probably not be any better.
At the thought of this, she could only look at King Kang.
At this moment, King Kang was also at his wit’s end. He had also thought of what Consort Shu had thought of.
Moreover, he thought deeper. He knew that even if he denied it, neither the Emperor nor the Third Prince would allow him to live.
The Emperor looked at his conflicted expression and sneered inwardly. How could such an indecisive person be the Emperor?
“Kang, what do you think?”
“I…” King Kang hesitated for a moment before seeing that Xiao Heng had already released Consort Shu.
He quickly pushed the Emperor toward King Rui, then dragged Consort Shu and ran toward Prime Minister Su.
After the Emperor stood up, he looked at Prime Minister Su and asked, “Prime Minister Su, I’m giving you one last chance. Do you really want to force the abdication?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Now it depends on whether you choose the civil and military officials or your own throne..”
