After my rebirth, I became the Prince Regent's favorite

The jailer didn't refuse and put the banknote directly into his sleeve.

Only then did Chu Lao leave with satisfaction. After sitting on the carriage, his back was already covered in cold sweat.

He slowly opened his palm and saw the bloody brocade handkerchief that Old Yan King had stuffed in.

He didn't hesitate anymore and hurried back to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Prince Yan paced back and forth in the study, refusing to stop for a moment.

The pale Xiao Jin coughed and said: "Father, can you stop for a while? My eyes are so dizzy when I see you walking back and forth!"

Prince Yan said anxiously: "I'm worried about your grandfather!"

Xiao Jin frowned: "What's the use of worrying? When Chu Lao comes back, won't you know what happened?"

As he finished speaking, he heard rapid footsteps coming from outside.

Prince Yan quickly opened the door and welcomed Chu Lao in, who was covered with night chill.

He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, Old King Yan gives you a letter in blood!"

Prince Yan couldn't wait to open it, and saw a sentence written on it: "It is a fact that Emperor An became a paralytic. Zhan'er can start an uprising in the name of Qingjun to get rid of Xiao Sheng. However, he must protect Jin'er and send him away first. After the dust settles, take him back to Beijing and proclaim himself emperor!"

Prince Yan froze. He didn't expect that his father hadn't given up yet.

What's especially important is that he needs to push himself out of the person who started the incident.

If it works, fine, but if it doesn't work, he will die!

He smiled bitterly, tore the blood book into pieces without hesitation and said: "In the eyes of my father, after all, I am just a chess piece that can be discarded at will!"

Xiao Jin immediately said: "Father, my son won't leave!"

Prince Yan glared at him angrily: "Why don't you leave and stay and die? Xiao Sheng's methods are cruel. Do you think he is so easy to deal with? If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Your grandfather wants you to live. Revenge us!"

Xiao Jin retorted with a stern face: "How long do you think I can live? There is a poisonous insect on my body. If it is not removed in one day, half of my feet will enter the gate of hell in one day!"

Looking at his son's childish face, Prince Yan suddenly calmed down.

He comforted me with a gentle voice: "Jin'er, Chu Lao has superb medical skills. Maybe he will figure out how to remove the poisonous insects in the future? You are the only hope for me and your grandfather. If we die, you will lie dormant and avenge us!"

One thing he didn't say out loud was that if he succeeded, he would directly take that position regardless of Old Yan King's objections.

My son is no longer useful, he is still young!

He can marry a few noble girls in the capital and let them enter the palace to produce heirs for him.

He suppressed his ambition and greed deep in his heart, and his eyes towards Xiao Jin became gentler. He said solemnly: "Take advantage of this opportunity and leave the capital as soon as possible. The secret guard your grandfather left for you will swear to death." protect you!"

Xiao Jin looked at him deeply, turned around, clenched his fists and left quickly.

After his figure disappeared, a cold light flashed in Prince Yan's eyes.

He sneered and said: "Silly father, I can't be the knife in your hand. I have a better way to gain Emperor An's trust, and I will try to get it!"

Chu Lao looked at him in shock: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Prince Yan leaned over and picked up the fragments of the blood book that fell on the ground, and put them in his sleeves.

He whispered: "This prince is going to see Emperor An immediately!"

Emperor An had already gone to bed, and Crown Prince Yan was kneeling under the eaves outside, waiting.

It wasn't until almost dawn that he was invited in.

Emperor An was sitting in a large chair. He asked in surprise: "Why is the prince still staying in the capital? Didn't he say that you will return to the wilderness as soon as possible?"

Prince Yan spoke respectfully: "Originally I was going to leave, but last night, I suddenly received a blood letter from my father from the dungeon. I felt very embarrassed, so I wanted to ask the emperor to help me make a choice!"

Emperor An took the blood book in his hand, his eyes complex and obscure.

Prince Yan explained: "The reason why I tore the blood letter into pieces was because I was a little angry for a while. I didn't expect that my father had not given up on the uprising. Later, I thought about it and felt that I should let the emperor see it and be alert!"

Emperor An folded the blood book and said, "Then what does the prince think?"

Prince Yan looked him up and down: "Your Majesty, is it true that your waist will never get better in the future?"

Emperor An nodded solemnly: "Yes, even though the imperial aunt has superb medical skills, she can't be cured anymore. I'm afraid I will have to spend the rest of my life in this wheelchair!"

Prince Yan suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Wei Chen is willing to hand over the military power of the barbarians and stay by the Emperor's side. You and I are both royal sons. In order to prevent the imperial power from falling by the wayside, Wei Chen is willing to stay in the capital to protect you!"

Emperor An did not expect that he would take the initiative to hand over his military power. The original plan he made with Xiao Sheng was to let the old King Yan spread the news of his paralysis and encourage the prince of Yan to continue his rebellion, so that their clan could be wiped out in a logical way.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan, the prince of Yan Wang, was willing to hand over the military power in the wilderness and stay in the capital as an idle prince.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

Xiao Zhan had already prayed so humbly, and he had no reason to refuse.

He spoke slowly: "Okay, you give me the military talisman first, and I will give you a conclusion after I discuss it with the emperor!"

Prince Yan respectfully stepped forward and handed a small box to the hand of the young chamberlain next to him. He said in a timid tone: "I wonder if Weichen can ask for a favor from the emperor. Weichen wants to visit his father in the dungeon. He After all, I am old and my mind is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, I am afraid this is just the last time!"

Emperor An nodded: "Okay, I will order someone to take you there!"

Prince Yan kowtowed gratefully, and after retreating, he was taken to a dark dungeon.

Old Yan King had fallen asleep at this time, and his breath was very heavy, like blowing a bellows.

Prince Yan walked inside and called out softly: "Father?"

Old Yan Wang trembled all over, and suddenly opened his turbid eyes.

He looked at Prince Yan up and down and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"

Xiao Zhan, the Crown Prince of Yan, who was wearing a brocade robe, said slowly: "Father, I am Zhan'er, can't you recognize me?"

The old King Yan naturally recognized him, but he never expected that Xiao Zhan could wear such a ceremonial dress and come to him in such a grand manner.

Could it be that it's done?

Thinking of this realization, excitement surged in his throat.

He grabbed Xiao Zhan's arm and asked, "Have you killed Xiao Sheng? Have you led troops to occupy the palace? And Emperor An has become a prisoner?"

Xiao Zhan frowned and replied: "Father, what are you talking about? Are you unconscious again?"

King Lao Yan noticed the clues. He suddenly raised his hand and strangled Xiao Zhan's neck and shouted angrily: "Xiao Zhan, what on earth have you done? Are you at the end of your term? Tell me quickly!"

Xiao Zhan was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe. He didn't expect that his father, even at such an old age, would still have strength.

He said anxiously: "Father, I am your biological son, do you have to strangle me to death?"

With one sentence, Old Yan Wang let go.

Xiao Zhan coughed several times anxiously. After his breathing calmed down, he said angrily: "Father, I did not obey your order. I think it is not necessarily necessary to win that position with swords and swords. It is better to boil the frog in warm water. Of!"

Old Yan Wang blinked blankly: "Boil a frog in warm water?"

Xiao Zhan whispered in his ear: "My son pretended to surrender. I handed the fake barbaric soldier's military talisman into Emperor An's hands to show my loyalty, but the condition was that I should stay in the capital. First, I have to win over the people. When the time comes, when I have a firm foothold, who will support a paralyzed man as emperor?"

Old Yan Wang hesitated for a long time before he came back to his senses. A cold light flashed deep in his eyes, and it was the first time he looked squarely at the son he had always thought was a waste.

He frowned and said, "Why are you so sure that you can win people's hearts?"

Xiao Zhan lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Don't I still have Wanyi and the Saint to help me? I can let Wanyi marry the powerful people in the capital, and with the power of the bereaved family behind the Saint, it won't take long for me to marry Xiao Sheng will fight in court!"

The mention of Xiao Sheng made Old Yan King itchy with hatred.

He said coldly, "Whether you are pretending to surrender or starting a rebellion, Xiao Sheng will never let you go. As long as he is around, he will be a stumbling block for you to gain a foothold in Beijing!"
