Chapter 244

He was going to that old thing's place to see if he was really not long for this world.

If the old thing could continue to linger on, he would not mind sending him on his way personally.

Xu Qi nodded; he also had to send the news to the Leader, so that the Leader could also be prepared.

Previously, Xu Qi could leave flawlessly.

But now, the entire imperial palace was monitored by the Eastern and Western Depots.

As soon as Xu Qi's figure left Huhai's sleeping quarters, someone immediately followed behind him.

The night color allowed people's bodies to blend into the darkness.

To a large extent, it could lower the vigilance in people's hearts.

Plus, Xu Qi had walked this path many times, and every time there had not been any problems.

At this moment, Xu Qi did not discover at all that a figure was already following behind him.

Turning through several rugged streets, the man in black suddenly stopped his actions when he sensed something unusual ahead.

Watching Xu Qi's figure slowly disappear before his eyes.

Waiting silently for a while, at the place where Xu Qi's figure disappeared, a man in black indeed appeared.

Upon seeing this man in black, a look of "as expected" appeared in the heart of the previous man.

After remembering the location here, the man in black decisively turned and left to report this news to Ying Mo.

When Ying Mo learned that the people around Huhai chose to contact people outside the palace, he subconsciously tapped the table lightly with his hand.

【Redacted】

Thump!

The thumping sound echoed throughout the entire room.

Ying Mo really had not expected this.

Huhai had actually also intervened in this matter.

He had originally thought this matter mainly involved the man in black behind the scenes and some small fry below.

But that's also true.

If Huhai was not involved in it, why would those people choose to let Huhai become the next successor?

…

……

…….

"Leader, news from the imperial palace."

After Xu Qi entered the room, he immediately lowered his head and said to Donghuang Taiyi.

"Speak."

Donghuang Taiyi spoke coldly.

"Ying Zheng seems to be somewhat not doing well."

"Tonight, a large number of imperial physicians entered the imperial palace."

Xu Qi said.

After Donghuang Taiyi finished listening to Xu Qi's words, a flash of contemplation passed through his eyes.

Ying Zheng being able to persist until this time was actually somewhat beyond his expectations.

He had already had people test the elixir Xu Fu gave back then.

Anyone who ate that kind of elixir would not live for more than half a year.

Yet Ying Zheng, after taking a large amount of the elixir, could actually survive until now.

Fortunately, things could finally be ended.

"After Huhai feeds the medicine to Ying Zheng, send the message."

Donghuang Taiyi said.

A look of joy immediately appeared on Xu Qi's face.

As long as tonight could proceed smoothly, tomorrow, he would have a brand new future.

Donghuang Taiyi looked up at the sky outside.

The drizzling rain was still falling.

Tonight was the best time to make a move.

After Xu Qi left, Donghuang Taiyi also disappeared from where he was.

He had to send the news to Feng Quji and Wang Ben, letting these two also be prepared tonight.

Wang Ben had originally fallen into a deep sleep, but the moment Donghuang Taiyi appeared in his room, he opened his eyes.

"Who?"

He flipped off the bed nimbly and then scanned the room with his gaze.

Only when he caught a glimpse of the figure sitting by the table did he relax slightly.

"What's the situation?"

Wang Ben was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Donghuang Taiyi would choose to come in the middle of the night.

"Are the men on your side ready?"

Donghuang Taiyi spoke coldly.

Whether tonight could be successful, Wang Ben's side was also very important.

When he heard Donghuang Taiyi's words, Wang Ben immediately realized that the time seemed to have arrived.

"Are you already prepared to start making a move?"

Wang Ben said.

"That's right, tonight might be the best time to make a move; how are the men on your side prepared?"

Donghuang Taiyi nodded.

"The men are already lying in ambush outside Xianyang City; as long as the order is given, they can enter immediately."

A trace of an inexplicable emotion flashed across Wang Ben's face, but he still said so.

Under the dim night, Donghuang Taiyi did not see the expression on Wang Ben's face.

After hearing Wang Ben's words, Donghuang Taiyi nodded.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be tonight."

"Pay attention to the news coming in at any time."

After Donghuang Taiyi finished speaking, he immediately disappeared from where he was.

He did not have time to talk more with Wang Ben; he still had to send the news to Feng Quji.

After being awakened, Wang Ben had no mood to continue sleeping.

He immediately called his men out.

"Imperial Prince."

The guard immediately appeared by his side.

He was originally there to protect Wang Ben personally.

"Where are those people now?"

Wang Ben asked.

"The rain is a bit heavy; those people should be hiding by the bridge arch."

The guard looked at the sky and then said.

"Have them get ready."

As soon as Wang Ben's words fell, the guard's expression changed slightly.

It seems the Imperial Prince really has the heart to rebel.

The hesitation in his heart did not affect the movements of his body.

After answering, the guard's figure disappeared before Wang Ben.

The room fell into silence once again.

As soon as he had any movement, Wang Jian immediately received the news.

"General, the young general seems to have had some movement."

Even in the middle of the night, the subordinate still sent the news to Wang Jian at the first opportunity.

When Wang Jian learned the news, his originally somewhat murky eyes immediately became extremely sharp.

These days, he had been having people watch Wang Ben's actions.

Originally, seeing that Wang Ben had been slow to act, his heart had felt a sense of relief.

Yet he had not expected that on such a rainy night…

"What is he preparing to do over there?"

Wang Jian's gloomy voice sounded in the room.

In the pitch-black room, the aura emanating from Wang Jian could not be hidden at all.

"The young general seems to want to mobilize that group of people outside Xianyang City?"

As soon as the guard's words were finished, the entire room was silent.

After a long silence, Wang Jian's voice came from the room again.

This time, Wang Jian's voice carried a sense of weakness and a sense of heartbreak.

"Watch him closely."

After saying these three words, Wang Jian was like a lion that had completely aged.

He no longer had his past might and dominance.

He no longer had his past decisiveness in killing.

In the imperial palace,

the raindrops carried a trace of chill, hitting Huhai's face.

Huhai wiped the water off his face and then quickened his pace a bit.

"No one is allowed to enter."

The guard was still faithfully guarding the door.

"Presumptuous, this Imperial Prince has come specifically to see the Father Emperor's situation; you dare to stop me?"

Huhai's brows arched, and a thick aura emanated from his body.

He was an Imperial Prince of the Heavenly Family; how could he tolerate a guard being so presumptuous to him?

"Imperial Prince Huhai, His Majesty does not allow anyone to enter; please return."

The guard remained neither humble nor pushy, his eyes cold and his expression calm.

The movement at the door was naturally reported to Ying Zheng.

"You say Huhai has come?"

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly; his tone seemed to reveal no anger, joy, or sorrow.

Zhang Han nodded.

There seemed to be a strange expression on his face.

After waiting for a long time, finally someone had come to probe the situation.

Yet he had not expected this person to be Imperial Prince Huhai.

"Hmph!"

"I didn't know that this son of mine also had a connection with that group of people behind the scenes."

"I want to see what exactly my good son wants to do."

"Let him in."

Ying Zheng said coldly, a sense of coldness permeating his eyes.

The guard had originally been unwilling to leave; only when he saw Eunuch Zhuo come out did the guard move his position.

"Imperial Prince, His Majesty allows you to enter."

Eunuch Zhuo looked at Imperial Prince Huhai with a smile.

He did not know Ying Zheng's plan at all.

He only thought Imperial Prince Huhai had come specifically to see Ying Zheng's physical condition.

Seeing this person come out, Huhai snorted coldly and then strode inside.

"No one has ever dared to stop this Imperial Prince; you are truly something."

Even though he could enter, Huhai did not forget to leave a harsh word.

After hearing Huhai's words, the guard's expression changed slightly.

Although Eunuch Zhuo did not know what had just happened, he still said with a smile.

"Imperial Prince, hurry in; His Majesty is already waiting inside."

Huhai snorted heavily before walking inside.

As soon as he entered, his gaze met Ying Zheng's on the bed.
