Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Please, Emperor, Sentence Us All to Death

Rong Che was stunned, not knowing what to do next about this matter.

At this moment, an eunuch rushed in from outside the hall to report: "Your Majesty, Old Prince Zhao is storming towards the bedchamber with a group of angry imperial relatives."

Upon hearing this, the Little Emperor Rong Che immediately panicked, looking around as if trying to find a place to hide. Then he remembered that he was the Emperor, and hiding would be too disgraceful, so Rong Che turned to look at his mother, the Empress Dowager.

"Mother, you have to help me, you must help me, I don’t want to be dethroned."

Empress Dowager Su looked at her son, with a glint flashing in her eyes. In fact, she had been waiting for her son to speak up. If she didn’t let her son suffer a bit, he’d think he was really capable. Now that he’s finally realized without his Empress Dowager mother, he can’t do anything.

As Empress Dowager Su thought this, she looked at Rong Che with a face full of pity and said.

"You are my son. If I don’t help you, who will?"

Empress Dowager Su’s words filled Rong Che’s heart with emotion. Ultimately, it was his own mother who loved him. Moreover, his mother and he were one; if he couldn’t hold onto the Emperor’s throne, his mother would also be dethroned as Empress Dowager. So, from now on, they were on the same boat.

Just as Rong Che was moved by Empress Dowager Su’s words, the sound of chaotic footsteps arose outside the bedchamber, accompanied by the eunuch’s frantic attempts to stop them.

"Old Prince Qin, Prince Zhao, what are you doing?"

At the head, Old Prince Qin, with a displeased expression, kicked open the leading eunuch and stormed into Rong Che’s bedchamber with a group of imperial relatives.

After entering the bedchamber, the group didn’t immediately confront Rong Che. Instead, they all knelt down, and Old Prince Qin, leading them, spoke in a deep voice: "We pay our respects to Your Majesty. Please, Your Majesty, issue an edict to execute us all."

Inside the bedchamber, Rong Che was dumbfounded and instinctively turned to look at Empress Dowager Su.

What does this old man mean, asking me to execute him?

Empress Dowager Su, seeing Old Prince Qin kneeling with the imperial relatives, had her expression change immediately. She hurriedly got up and walked to the front of Old Prince Qin, asking him and the others to rise.

"Uncle, please rise quickly. Just speak your mind."

Although the Old Prince is over seventy years old, his vigor was still strong, and his words were filled with energy.

"In response to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, we dare not to speak while standing. This Dayan belongs to the Emperor. If we dare to speak while standing, it’s likely that the Emperor will have us killed later."

Old Prince Qin’s words made both the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor’s faces change dramatically.

The Little Emperor Rong Che, sitting on the grand bed in the bedchamber, gasped. Although he had ordered someone to poison Rong Ling and assassinate him, he would never admit to such a thing.

If he admitted to such actions, his legacy as Emperor would be infamous for eternity.

As Rong Che thought this, he quickly called out to Old Prince Qin on the ground: "Old Prince, what nonsense are you talking about? I have done no such thing."

As soon as Rong Che finished speaking, Old Prince Qin sneered coldly, looked up at Rong Che and said: "If Your Majesty has done nothing rebellious, why would there be divine punishment? Why does the ball of fire from heaven not attack anyone else but chase after Your Majesty?"

After Old Prince Qin spoke, Prince Zhao added: "Your Majesty, today at the Royal Hunting Ground, the assassin attempting to encircle Prince Yong was captured. Someone among them confessed that it was Your Majesty who ordered it. Your Majesty should stop trying to deny it."
