In a meditation room in the backyard of the Hidden Spirit Temple, a man in black knelt on one knee in front of the man.

The man reached out and took the envelope from the man in black. He opened it and saw two familiar words.

Rash actions!

“Rash actions?” The man’s eyes darkened. After a long time, he exhaled and asked coldly, “Have you saved Prince Xia?”

“He’s already here.”

“Send him to Lord Rui.”

The men in black paused for a moment. Shangguan Pu had tried to attack the old prince in the Clan Residence’s prison a few times, but his men had stopped him.

For this reason, Shangguan Pu even specially surrounded the execution ground with guards. They had painstakingly saved the old prince, but he was going to be given away just like that?

However, he clearly did not dare to refute the man’s order. He said respectfully,

“Yes.”

At the same time, Shangguan Pu also received the news that someone had attacked the execution ground and that the old prince had been rescued. He was so angry that he smashed the teacup in the meditation room.

It was only when a young eunuch sent something that his anger subsided slightly.

It was noon. The ministers followed the monks to the altar.

Looking at the altar not far away, everyone felt a little strange.

In the past, in order to pray to the heavens to bless Great Xia with good weather and peace, such a great sacrificial ceremony would be held every year. However, this was the first time such a huge ceremony had been held to pray for one person.

It was unknown what Empress Dowager Wei was thinking.

However, they were all asking for blessings from the heavens. It should be fine, right?

After all, the emperor was a True Dragon, right?

It was said that the late emperor had visited her in her dreams.

Everyone still remembered that the last time the late emperor visited someone in their dreams, it was to call Song Jingchen back to the capital.

Thinking of this, everyone realized why the late emperor had asked someone to do something strange.

He wasn’t this unreliable when he was alive…

Just as everyone was cursing in their hearts, the emperor was carried out in a dragon carriage.

The imperial physician had once said that the emperor could not be exposed to the wind, so he did not come down. Through the gauze curtain, everyone could vaguely see a person lying on the dragon carriage.

The ceremony began. The emperor was supposed to offer incense on the altar first, but because he was not feeling well, Eunuch Li finally sent a message and Lord Jing replaced him.

Shangguan Pu stepped onto the platform step by step in his lord’s suit. A monk offered him three incense sticks. Shangguan Pu reached out and took it. He knelt down on the futon, and the ministers followed suit.

He kowtowed.

He kowtowed twice.

Three kowtows…

He stood up and raised his hand to insert the incense into the incense burner.

“Wait a minute.”

A sudden voice sounded.

Who was so reckless as to interrupt the prayer ritual?

Everyone looked towards the voice.

It was the ignorant Lord Rui, Shangguan Heng.

“Third Brother, if you want to fool around, you should consider the occasion,” Shangguan Pu said with a frown.

“Me, fooling around? Hahaha, Eldest Brother, don’t tell me you really think no one knows what you’ve done?” Shangguan Heng laughed wildly.

Shangguan Pu’s eyes turned cold as he looked somewhere. “What do you mean?”

Shangguan Heng snorted. “That’s what I wanted to ask you. Eldest Brother, why did you imprison Father? Do you want to rebel?”

“What? Imprison the emperor?” everyone thought.

All the ministers instantly reacted, including many ministers who had no choice but to support or secretly work for Shangguan Pu in the imperial court for some reason.

They were forced to join Shangguan Pu

It was understandable for the princes to fight for the throne in private. After all, it was a private matter.

However, putting these things on the table and even attacking the emperor was not the case.

Even if you eventually sat in that position, to the people of the world, you would be unjustified and a rebel. At that time, you would definitely attract the condemnation of the vassals of the world.

Once Great Xia fell into chaos, the commoners would suffer. Be it Shangguan Pu, who was sitting in the throne, or their followers, they would be cursed for eternity.

This was also the reason why Shangguan Pu had been careful and didn’t dare to take action even though he clearly had the emperor in his hands.

To put it bluntly, what he needed was a “justifiable reason”. There couldn’t be any mistakes.

“Third Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? It was clearly Father who didn’t want to see you earlier. Besides, Father is up there. How is he imprisoned?” Shangguan Yao retorted.

Shangguan Heng rolled his eyes. “Alright, even if he’s not imprisoned, what about the kidnapping of the young girls and the assassination attempt on Father after the incident?”

This time, the ministers became even more uneasy. It was those women who caused them to be caught by Shangguan Pu.

They could not advance. They could not retreat.

They were caught between a rock and a hard place.

Shangguan Yao said, “Those things were clearly done by Imperial Granduncle. What has it got to do with Big Brother?”

Shangguan Pu tightened his grip and the incense ash fell onto his hand, burning him until he came back to his senses. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the smug Shangguan Heng. “That’s right, Third Brother. The truth has long been revealed. Don’t spout nonsense..”
