Chapter 401: Chaos
Seeing that the crowd's emotions were rising higher and higher, and that Li Jingyang had been pointed out by the Second Prince, the Crown Prince also panicked.
After all, when the Crown Prince and the Emperor were imprisoned by the Second Prince, Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi came to help them many times.
Therefore, the Crown Prince knew exactly what the Second Prince was up to.
However, how could Li Jingyang possibly harm them?
If Li Jingyang really wants to seize the throne, then he should assist the Second Prince, right?
So the crown prince spoke up in the chaotic hall.
"He couldn't possibly be the murderer who harmed the emperor!"
However, the Second Prince soon heard the Crown Prince's voice.
The second prince directly dispatched people to strictly guard the crown prince and the emperor.
We absolutely must not let those two open their mouths to speak.
We can't let the Crown Prince and the Emperor reveal anything else.
Otherwise, how could the Second Prince have harmed Li Jingyang?
"They're such love-obsessed bugs."
The second prince smiled contemptuously, looking at Li Jingyang standing to the side, feeling that the subsequent developments were exactly as he had predicted.
"You've all seen it now, haven't you? Faced with a murderer like this, we should just kill him!"
However, the Second Prince's words won everyone's approval.
"Kill him, kill him, kill him now!"
Surrounded by the crowd, the Second Prince took the spear from the side.
However, at this very moment, the Grand Tutor, who had been pretending to be a quail, suddenly stepped forward.
In front of everyone, he took out a golden imperial edict from his sleeve.
Everyone held their breath at that moment.
Even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were quite surprised.
After all, they had no idea what the imperial edict actually contained.
"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..."
The Grand Tutor read the imperial edict aloud while observing everyone's actions.
At this moment, Li Jingyang didn't know what the Grand Tutor meant by bringing out this imperial edict; perhaps it was to protect himself.
"The title of Emperor is bestowed upon Prince Lin."
The Grand Tutor picked up the imperial edict and announced Li Jingyang's ascension to the throne.
However, the group that had been making a ruckus and wanting to kill Li Jingyang suddenly didn't know what to do.
They looked left and right, then turned their gaze to the Second Prince and Li Jingyang.
I have no idea how this has developed.
However, the Grand Tutor now knew everything that had happened before, so he embellished the story and told it to everyone present.
Furthermore, it embellished all of Li Jingyang's identities in the process.
However, everyone who knew all this was filled with sighs of regret.
However, the Grand Tutor did not tell everyone about the Second Prince's imprisonment of the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
Everyone felt that the second prince and the crown prince were exceptionally pitiful.
"How come neither of them, as princes, can inherit the throne?"
"Those two brothers are really pitiful."
"They're all just stepping stones for this prince, how laughable!"
……
At this moment, Li Jingyang was still extremely shocked, as if he knew this was going to happen.
After all, secrets can't be kept forever, and they would find out about the imperial edict sooner or later.
But at this moment, the second prince was extremely shocked and furious.
So much so that even the Second Prince thought that the Grand Tutor's sudden announcement of the imperial edict was sent by Li Jingyang.
Moreover, just as the Second Prince was about to succeed, Li Jingyang suddenly intervened.
This disrupted all of the Second Prince's plans.
Now, there's no way to accuse Li Jingyang of murder.
Moreover, at this moment, the Second Prince clenched his teeth tightly.
Not only that, the second prince was also extremely afraid that the Grand Tutor would expose his imprisonment of the emperor and the crown prince.
Fearing trouble, the second prince directly broke off all pretense of civility.
"Since you're so eager to seize the throne, I won't grant your wish!"
At the Second Prince's command, the Imperial Guards, swords in hand, charged toward the Crown Prince and Li Jingyang.
Seeing the chaotic scene before them, the ministers could no longer sit still and immediately stepped forward to stop the matter.
"This won't do! This is the current crown prince and the future ruler!"
"You, a mere second prince, are you not a wolf in sheep's clothing, plotting a rebellion!"
"We can't let you do that!"
……
With these ministers stopping them, the imperial guards dared not act rashly.
Looking at the imperial guards in front of him, the second prince immediately gave orders to continue their mission.
Because the second prince didn't care about any of that. What did it matter if his reputation was ruined?
If I don't take action now, then Li Jingyang will truly be the one to seize the throne in the future.
And if doing this now succeeds, then we absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.
Seeing the chaotic scene before him, Li Jingyang immediately went to the Crown Prince and the Emperor.
The crown prince was overjoyed to see the emperor arrive.
"Uncle... what should we do next...?"
In truth, the crown prince was also extremely afraid.
After all, this matter is no small thing; it involves human lives.
However, Li Jingyang's nonchalant expression left the Crown Prince somewhat puzzled.
"Your Highness, I have already made arrangements, so there is no need to worry. I will ensure your safety."
Under Li Jingyang's orders, the secret guards who had infiltrated the palace also made their move.
Just as the Imperial Guards arrived in front of the three of them.
The guards also stood in front of Li Jingyang and his men, and began to fight with the Imperial Guards.
The scene became extremely chaotic.
But all of this was within Li Jingyang's expectations.
Seeing the chaotic scene before them, everyone panicked; they certainly didn't want to be killed.
So they hurriedly hid, fearing they would be harmed by these imperial guards.
But how could the Second Prince let these people leave alive?
After all, they had all witnessed their own wolfish ambitions.
So, under the Second Prince's orders, a portion of the Imperial Guards charged towards the crowd.
"If you eliminate them all today, you will be the greatest heroes of the founding of the nation!"
The second prince became exceptionally excited.
The imperial guards obeyed the second prince's orders and carried out indiscriminate killings in the main hall.
However, Li Jingyang and his group quietly left the main hall.
But they saw that the Second Prince, who was nowhere to be seen, was present.
Like a dog whose tail has been stepped on.
"They've all disappeared! Go find them quickly, don't leave any behind!"
They immediately dispatched a large number of guards to arrest Li Jingyang and his group.
The second prince's goal was to eliminate all of these people, preventing them from leaking any information that could affect his ascension to the throne.
