The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 303

No one replied, only the sound of the guards’ weapons could be heard in the darkness.

Emperor Shang looked at the guards who surrounded him with sabers in their hands, and suddenly felt a sense of sorrow. Weren’t these guards the personal guards of Wang Hou? He had originally thought that Wang Hou would be a rare understanding person who would properly assist the crown prince, but he didn’t expect that people’s hearts were truly lacking, and this Wang Hou was no exception.

“Si’er, you’re already making your move, yet you’re not willing to see royal father?” Emperor Shang stood there, his voice calm. There was also a trace of disappointment that had yet to be investigated. How could a marquis point a blade at him? The Shang Emperor knew very well that there was someone behind the marquis. Without even thinking, the emperor knew that the person was his fourth son.

Because of the Queen, Emperor Shang loved this child, Shang Wuxin, but towards other children, he did not have the heart to treat them unfairly. Later on, when he saw his daughter becoming wiser, he began to have feelings for Shang Wuxin as well. Emperor Shang had no choice but to feel heartache. Now, Emperor Shang had more than once wished for him to be able to see the reality of this fourth son of his. Being an idle prince without any worries was not necessarily a bad thing, but now, it seemed that Emperor Shang had really aged!

A white-garbed Shang An Cang walked out from behind those guards. His eyes were filled with the desire for power, even though he was still the same person. Who could call him an indifferent prince who didn’t care about fame and fortune?

“Father!” It was the same voice, but there was no trace of the usual respect and hatred in it. Shang An Cang stood in front of the guards, looking at his father, his voice full of threat, “If father writes the imperial edict now, this son will definitely make father live the life of a king in the future!”

Emperor Shang retracted the last vestiges of fatherly affection he had for Shang An Cang. As a king, even though he was different from other emperors, he still had a cold heart. Although he could favor Shang carelessly, it didn’t mean he felt the same towards the other children as well. Since ancient times, hadn’t a child’s death occurred often enough?

But at the same time, he felt that he had indeed implicated his daughter. If it weren’t for the fact that he was afraid that his daughter would have taken care of Shang An Cang long ago, he would not have done such a thing. The more he interacted with his daughter, the more he felt that his daughter was more suitable than him for this position.

Shang’s downcast eyes flashed with warmth as he looked at Emperor Shang who was standing beside him and trying to protect him. Shang had no idea that he now had a responsible father, Emperor Shang, and a mother who would care for him, Yinyin. This was wonderful!

“Raising the heavens? Unfilial son! Is this the face that you have been hiding from us for so many years!? ” Emperor Shang, on the other hand, was displeased. After so many years of being deceived by a disguised face, it would not be a good thing, let alone Emperor Shang.

Shang An Cang suddenly burst into laughter. His smile was filled with disdain, as he pointed at Shang Wuxin who was standing there. “Unfilial son?” In royal father’s eyes, which one of us princes is not an unfilial son? Wasn’t she, Shang, just for show? royal father, you ask yourself in your heart, do you care about this son a little? Have you considered making your son Crown Prince? If this son of mine was as absurd as she is, would royal father allow this son of yours to live until now? ”

He might be a qualified emperor, but he was definitely not a qualified royal father. His fatherly love was only for Shang Wuxin, and that was unfair for the other children. However, Emperor Shang didn’t soften his heart, nor did he feel any guilt, because there were too many unfair things in this world.

“It seems that royal father isn’t going to write the edict for the succession!” Shang An Cang laughed, his originally handsome face was now ruined by his twisted face, and his voice was filled with impatience: “Since royal father is unwilling, then this son will have to send royal father on his way!” Imperial Father was killed by the Crown Prince at the Thousand Buddha Temple. This son of mine had no way to save him. I can only kill the Crown Prince to avenge my Imperial Father. The Emperor cannot group a dragon without a leader, so this son cannot refuse to ascend the throne! royal father, what do you think of this son’s idea? ”

He had wanted to sit on the dragon throne for too many years. He had done so many things, and now his mindset had started to distort. The reason he was living today was so that he could attain that position.

“You don’t even have the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal, and you want to ascend to the throne? Ridiculous!” But now that he thought about it, although he was not afraid, he was truly angered, and was even more so helpless against his son. He never thought that he would die here today, because from the beginning to the end, his daughter did not have any fear, and even Huan Mo Che did not seem to care about it at all.

Shang An Cang looked at Emperor Shang with ridicule in his eyes, and from a nearby bodyguard took out a long sword, and pointed it at Emperor Shang, his voice full of excitement: “Imperial Jade Seal? Wasn’t the Imperial Jade Seal in Shang’s hands? Do you think this son of mine is the pedantic Duke of Qing? So what if I don’t have the Legacy’s Imperial Jade Seal? As long as I get that position, who dares to argue! ”

Emperor Shang looked at his son and saw no trace of hesitation in his eyes. It seemed that this son really wanted to kill him today. Indeed, this son of his had inherited his ruthlessness, but what a pity …

“If ministers submit to this prince now, this prince will promise to let bygones be bygones, and be more prosperous in the future!” With so many court officials present, he knew he could not just hang all of them or else make a move on the empire. Even if he were to ascend to the throne, he would not be able to sit still; he needed to recruit all of these court officials under his command.

At the beginning, there were some officials who did not dare to go over after seeing the King of Shang and the Crown Prince. However, after waiting for a while, they did not see the King of Shang and his reinforcements.

Shang’s face did not change as he watched. Only a fifth of the officials were on Shang’s side, but Shang could not help but admit that some of the officials on his side were still watching. It did not mean that those on his side were loyal people.

“Kill!” Shang An Cang waved his sword, “Leave none alive!”

The guard took out his weapon and started to move. At this moment, Shang Wuxin also slightly raised his hand towards the sky, his voice carrying a thin layer of ice, “Kill!” “Leave no one alive!” These same words were spoken by two people who had never met each other before. It was a contest for power.

He saw that in the previously empty courtyard, there were many black clothed Blood Slaughter Army soldiers. These men were even more numerous than the number of guards that Shang An Cang had brought, and they had even surrounded Shang An Cang and the rest.

Seeing this, Shang An Cang couldn’t understand anything, but at this moment, his voice was full of anger and puzzlement, “You? You actually know about it? ” He did a good job of keeping this a secret, but he did not expect Shang to find out.

Not wanting to listen to such nonsense, Shang Guan snapped his fingers and saw the Blood Sang Army strangling and murdering the guards one by one, while Shang An Cang brought the guards with the intention of taking down Shang Wuxin and Emperor Shang by force. However, how could Shang Wuxin and the rest be powerless, even the kung fu of Emperor Shang was acceptable.

Huan Mo Che’s fan danced around each guard’s neck, and the blood that spurted out emitted a bloody smell. Since the beginning, Huan Mo Che had been standing beside Shang Wuxin, and not a single guard had approached him.

The emperor held a long sword in his hand. Although he was not that nimble when he was old, he had the protection of Dauntless and the others to protect him. He was safe as well, and he hadn’t fought like this for many years.

Just as Huan Mo Che was preparing to face off against Shang An Cang, Shang Wuxin made his move! Shang Wuxin did not even bother taking out his dagger, directly dashing out from behind Huanmo Che. In the instant when Shang Anyun’s long sword was aimed at Shang Wujing’s chest, his waist flashed, avoiding the sword by an incredible angle, and then he suddenly approached Shang Anyuan, kicking his long legs fiercely against the latter’s calf. With a “kacha” sound, the bones in Shang Anye’s calves were broken just like that.

The pain of his calf made Shang AnCang want to stand up, but he did not expect Shang had accidentally stepped on his arm, then on his abdomen, and finally on his neck. Shang had inadvertently stepped on his boots.

He could feel the air slowly becoming less and less, and his breathing became more and more difficult. The bones of his neck were being compressed, and just when he was frightened that he was going to die, Shang Wuxin retracted his foot.

Shang An Cang coughed nonstop as he took deep breaths. He finally understood how terrifying Shang Wuxin’s eyes were, because he could see that they were as deep as hell and should not be the eyes of a human being.

“Xin Er!” Emperor Shang looked at the difference between Shang Bin’s methods and Shang Wuxin’s, which did not want Shang GuanCang’s life, and understood some things. Emperor Shang felt moved, but felt that his daughter was indeed a caring little cotton-padded jacket, but still solemnly said, “Cut the grasses and cut the grasses!”

He saw Lin Jia Er carry away Shang An Cang, who was half dead on the ground. As for where they took him, no one knew, and no one dared to question them. The ministers who had just defected to the side of the fourth prince were now dead, and could not help but feel a lingering fear.

“Has Wang Hou been dealt with?” Shang asked absent-mindedly.

“Reporting to the crown prince, it has been settled on the spot!” Every time they came out, they would be very excited. As Blood Shang Army soldiers, they very much wished to follow the crown prince out.

“Father, do you want me to accompany you back to your room?” It was not early yet, so Shang did not plan to return tomorrow. Of course, the safety of Emperor Shang had been long planned out by Shang. He had even considered the safety of this temple thoroughly.

Emperor Shang looked at Huan Mo Che and waved his hand before heading back. After that fight, Emperor Shang was also a bit tired.

Only after watching the ministers leave one by one did Huan Mo Che hold Shang Wuxin’s hand, “Xin’er, let’s go to the Lantern Festival?”
