The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

Chapter 251 Your Highness, Please Forgive Me

After hearing this, Yu Gongchen's face darkened, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Humph! Lord Shen, are you afraid?

This prince has been planning this event for a long time, and every step is flawless, how could it leak out? If you don't have the guts, get out of here as soon as possible, and don't spoil this prince's fun here!"

Shen Huaiyan felt a chill rising from his spine, his whole body trembled, and he quickly knelt down with a "thump", and his forehead hit the ground heavily.

He said in a panic, "Your Highness, please forgive me! I am just worried that something might go wrong, I have no other intentions. I hope Your Highness will forgive me this time. I will do my best to assist Your Highness, even if it means my death!"

Yu Gongchen frowned slightly, and his impatience became even more intense, but considering Shen Huaiyan's usual obedience, he still waved his hand impatiently, motioning him to get up.

At this time, everyone was discussing a key plan in the East Palace that concerned their lives, property, and wealth. The atmosphere in the room was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, as if the slightest breeze would completely detonate this tense situation.

The East Palace was already filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere. The candlelight around was swaying weakly in the corners, and the light and shadows on the walls were erratic, as if being pulled by ghosts in the darkness, as if they were also uneasy about this conspiracy.

The candle flame made crackling sounds from time to time, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silence, and every sound seemed to strike heavily on everyone's heartstrings.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, "Knock, knock, knock." The sound exploded like thunder in the dead silence. Each knock was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart. Everyone froze in an instant, as if time had stopped flowing at this moment.

Yu Gongchen's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes were full of fear and anger, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

He stood up suddenly, and the chair fell to the ground behind him with a clang. He shouted, "Who?!"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in the voice, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Could it be that their plan had been leaked?

The prince's uncle was startled by the sudden knock on the door and trembled all over. The teacup in his hand almost fell, and the scalding tea splashed all over his hand, but he was completely unaware.

His eyes widened in panic, and he cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, who would come at this time? Did the news leak out?"

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead and slid down his cheeks. He was extremely panicked, and all kinds of horrible scenes of what it would be like if he was discovered kept flashing through his mind.

The other ministers also looked panicked, with cold sweat on their foreheads and their bodies shaking slightly uncontrollably.

Their eyes were fixed on the door, filled with fear, as if there was a deadly evil ghost hiding behind the door, waiting to drag them into an abyss of no return.

At this time, the voice of the Minister of War, Mr. Zhang, came from outside the door: "Your Highness, it's me, Zhang Yuan."

Yu Gongchen was relieved when he heard that it was Master Zhang's voice, but he was still alert. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, sat back in his chair, and said coldly, "Come in."

His eyes were still fixed on the door, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he thought to himself: I hope it doesn't bring any bad news, otherwise...

The door was slowly pushed open, making a creaking sound that was particularly harsh in this quiet environment.

The Minister of War, Lord Zhang, hurried in, his face gloomy and ugly, with anxiety and fear. He first bowed respectfully to Yu Gongchen, and the bowing action seemed a little flustered.

Then, he slowly looked around at the ministers present, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "Your Highness, something is wrong! Today, the emperor summoned his trusted ministers to discuss matters in the imperial study, and it seems that he has noticed our affairs.

Moreover, the Emperor seems to be adopting Prime Minister Ren's suggestion and sending people to the border to inquire about the Sixth Prince's news."

When Yu Gongchen heard this, he suddenly became furious. He felt as if his path to the throne had been blocked by someone. The goal that was originally within reach now seemed out of reach.

He slammed the table so hard that there was a loud bang, and the teacups on the table jumped up.

He stood up, his eyes burning with anger, and shouted, "I knew that old man was unwilling to make me the crown prince, he just wanted to favor that guy Yu Gongyu.

Now that Umiya Tama is dead, the throne should be mine, no one can take it away! It seems we can't wait any longer, we must act in advance!"

He paced back and forth in the palace, his eyes as ferocious as a wolf, and thought with gritted teeth: Humph, no matter what, I can't let this plan fail. The throne is mine, it is my destiny. Whoever dares to stop me, I will make him pay a heavy price!

He stopped, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Since the emperor wants to send people to the border, we must find a way to stop them on the road and never let them send the news back.

At the same time, the capital must also speed up its actions and control the situation as soon as possible, so as not to allow those who oppose me to take advantage of the situation. "

The uncle also stood up, his fat body trembling slightly with excitement, his eyes flashing with greed and cruelty, and he echoed: "Your Highness is right, we can't just sit there and wait for death.

First, we should get rid of those ministers who might oppose us, so that they won’t do anything bad and ruin your highness’s plan.”

Lord Jiang, the Minister of Rites, nodded hurriedly, with a flattering smile on his face: "My Lord, this is a great idea. As long as these stumbling blocks are removed, great things can be accomplished! When His Highness ascends the throne, we will all be heroes!"

Although Shen Huaiyan, the Minister of Finance, was still terrified, he did not dare to raise any objections at this moment. He could only bite the bullet and said, "Your Highness, please let me know what we should do next. I will fully cooperate with you."

A hint of a sinister smile flashed across Yu Gongchen's eyes. He sat back in his chair, leaned back slightly, put his hands on the armrests, and said slowly:

"Everyone, listen carefully, Master Zhang, you are responsible for arranging people to intercept those going to the border. This matter is of vital importance. You must do it cleanly and neatly, and not leave any handles, otherwise you will be beheaded and brought to this prince.

My Lord Uncle, go and gather our men and prepare to take action against those ministers who may be in the way. Remember, we must do it stealthily and not arouse the slightest suspicion.

Lord Wang, you will help Lord Li prepare the supplies for me and ensure that we will have no worries when we take action. If anything goes wrong, you will all be in trouble."

All the ministers responded in unison: "Yes, we will follow your orders, Your Highness!" Their voices seemed a little low in this depressing atmosphere, but there was a ruthlessness in everyone's eyes. For their own interests, they had no way out.

Yu Gongchen nodded with satisfaction. He stood up, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the dark night sky outside the hall.

The night sky was like a huge piece of black silk, pressing heavily above the imperial palace. Without a trace of starlight, it seemed as if it was going to swallow up everything in the world.

His eyes were filled with madness and ambition, and he thought to himself: This throne will be mine sooner or later, and no one can stop me. No matter if it is my father or those who want to oppose me, they will all become stepping stones for me to ascend the throne.
