The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 154 The Sudden Imperial Decree

"Prince Yi, do you dare to have the intention of treason?" Taifu Wang's face was full of shock and anger, and he questioned the person in front of him in a harsh voice.

At this moment, a panicked little eunuch came running over.

In his hand he held an object covered with red satin.

Carefully, he walked in front of Qian Wuheng and knelt on his knees.

He raised his hands above his head and presented the thing to Qian Wuheng.

Seeing this, Qian Wuheng's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still pretended to be calm and asked, "What is this?"

The young eunuch lowered his voice and replied, "Your Highness, this is something that Concubine Duan specially ordered me to hand over to you."

After saying this, the young eunuch continued to kneel with his head down, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Qian Wuheng stared at the young eunuch in front of him and looked at him carefully.

Confirmed that he was indeed a trusted eunuch in his mother's palace.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in my heart, so I hurriedly asked, "Where is my mother now?"

The young eunuch responded softly, "Your Highness, Concubine Duan said that there are still urgent matters that need to be dealt with, and she will come here in person in a moment.

She asked her servant to bring this thing and deliver it to His Highness.

He also emphasized that this item is of extraordinary significance and importance to His Highness.

In addition, Concubine Duan said, congratulations to Your Highness for getting what he wished for."

Qian Wuheng naturally knew what this crucial thing was.

My mother has been enduring hardship and fatigue these days.

I go to my father's palace every day to serve and take care of him, with the purpose of finding a suitable opportunity to obtain this thing.

Although his mother told him not to act hastily and to wait for her to complete relevant matters before taking action.

But during this period of time, he really couldn't bear it any longer, and every moment was a torment for him.

Fortunately, his mother did not let him down!

At this moment, Qian Wuheng's heart was filled with endless joy, as if a surging wave had been set off.

With trembling hands, he reached out to catch the piece of red silk covering the object.

This slight tremor further demonstrated his extremely excited emotional state.

When his palm touched the imperial edict, Qian Wuheng's mouth corners couldn't help but rise up.

Finally! He had finally waited for this day!

Qian Wuheng tightly grasped the imperial edict in his hand, and with his other hand he quickly lifted up the red silk on top and threw it out with force.

The red silk danced in the air like a light butterfly, and finally slowly fell to the ground.

Qian Wuheng glanced at everyone present indifferently, his face revealing full confidence and pride.

Looking at Qian Wuling with a tightly knitted brow and Qian Wushang with a solemn expression, he felt extremely happy in his heart.

Finally, Qian Wuheng's gaze fell on Master Wang who had just spoken.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

"Usurping the throne? Your Excellency, you are really exaggerating! How could I do such a treasonous thing?"

Qian Wuheng said with a sneer.

Then, he paused and continued, “But the fact is.

My father is well aware that his health is not good and he needs a long period of concentrating and recuperation. He is unable to shoulder the responsibility of leading the Qianyao Kingdom.

Therefore, it has already been decided that the throne will be passed to this king.

Today, I, the prince, am following His Majesty’s order to enter the palace to receive the imperial edict…”

Having said that, Qian Wuheng slowly raised the imperial edict in his hand above his head.

And shook it gently a few times so that everyone present could see it clearly.

"Father passed the throne to you? This is absolutely impossible!"

Qian Wuling's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

He shouted at Qian Wuheng, "Stop talking nonsense here!"

But his eyes were fixed on the bright yellow imperial edict in Qian Wuheng's hand.

He suddenly remembered that his father occasionally had brief moments of clarity these days.

But every time he woke up, he would summon Concubine Feng Duan to serve him on his sickbed.

He didn't think too much about it.

After all, my father has always been indifferent to my mother and has never shown her any favor.

As for the other concubines, he just felt that his father was not in good health.

Naturally, they would prefer to have someone like Concubine Duan, who is gentle, graceful, virtuous, kind, and who does not engage in worldly affairs, by their side.

He even secretly speculated that no matter how much his father relied on Concubine Feng Duan.

Once the second son's rebellion is exposed, my father will never forgive him.

As a result, Concubine Duan might not escape death either.

Therefore, he only needs to focus on dealing with the second one.

However, what he did not expect was the Concubine Duan whom he had ignored.

He actually hid it from anyone and received an imperial edict from his father!

At this moment, Qian Wuling's heart was filled with endless sadness and extreme unwillingness!

Could it be that the reason why my father issued such an edict?

Is it just to provide protection to Concubine Duan and ensure that Qian Wuheng can smoothly inherit the throne?

Does my father really hate me to this extent?

No! This is impossible! How can this be possible?

Qian Wuling couldn't accept this fact no matter what.

Obviously... the emperor clearly asked him to be the regent, and he is the crown prince who is the regent!

what does this mean?

Doesn’t this represent the emperor’s trust and expectations in him?

But what about now? Why did the emperor suddenly issue an edict to let Qian Wuheng succeed to the throne?

Could it be... Could it be because of that incident?

Thinking of this, Qian Wuling’s face turned pale.

Could it be that the fact that I drugged my father was exposed?

So, is that why the emperor made such a decision? But, the medicine he gave was obviously not...

But how could...how could this happen?

At this moment, Qian Wuheng was watching jokingly, and Qian Wuling was flustered.

He looked at Qian Wuling with a look full of mockery.

He slowly said, "Brother, do you really think that I am talking nonsense?"

Qian Wuling was stunned. He seldom heard the word "royal brother" from the mouth of his ambitious second brother.

But now, these two words are so ironic!

However, what he could not have expected was that the following words would be so sharp and harsh.

"Haha, my royal brother! Actually, this is not impossible.

My father must have seen through my brother's incompetence, and at the same time, he has also seen my talent.

So, he chose me instead of you, this... is the truth!"

Qian Wuheng's voice... was filled with undisguised pride and sarcasm.

Qian Wuling felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he heard these words.

He opened his eyes wide, looking in disbelief...at this brother who was once familiar to him but now seemed so strange to him.

At this moment, Qian Wuheng seemed to have fully revealed his original character: cold, ruthless and cruel.

All the anger and resentment that Qian Wuling had been holding on him for the past twenty years were swept away today!

Qian Wuheng unscrupulously enjoyed the pleasure of having Qian Wuling under his feet.
