Soon, everyone in the Hidden Spirit Temple was alerted.

Shangguan Pu frowned and hurriedly put on his clothes before rushing to Jade Peak Courtyard.

The courtyard he lived in was the closest to the Jade Peak Courtyard. However, when he arrived, it was already filled with people.

He could vaguely hear the words “dead” and “gone”.

Could it be that the drugs were too much for him to handle? Shangguan Pu frowned, but this situation was beneficial to him.

The person who suggested holding the prayer ceremony was Empress Dowager Wei, and the person who disrupted the prayer halfway was Shangguan Heng. No matter what, it was not his fault.

“Get out of the way. I want to go in.” Empress Dowager Wei stood at the front with her men, her aura spreading, and everyone subconsciously fell silent. Shangguan Heng also reprimanded, “Did you hear that? Move aside.” The guard looked at Shangguan Pu, who had just rushed over.

Shangguan Pu glanced at Eunuch Li and Eunuch Deng, who were pale with fear, and nodded secretly.

Only then did the guards make way.

Empress Dowager Wei walked in first. Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Heng, and Consort Shu followed closely behind.

“Big Brother, let’s go in quickly,” Shangguan Yao urged.

Shangguan Pu nodded and followed unhurriedly.

Seeing that no one stopped them, the other concubines and ministers quickly followed.

“He’ll probably regret it later, right?” Shen Yijia, who was dressed as a novice monk, sympathized.

Song Jingchen originally planned to expose Shangguan Pu during the prayer, but it was already too late when Shen Yijia brought her people up the mountain.

Therefore, he could only…

Song Jingchen smiled and held Shen Yijia’s hand. “Let’s go in too.”

Seeing that the couple did not forget to be intimate at this time, General Xiao gritted his teeth.

No, why didn’t he tell him about the matter of saving the emperor? It made him worry for nothing.

“Men, arrest that unfilial son.”

The three of them had just squeezed to the door when the emperor’s voice sounded.

The ministers present were so frightened that they knelt down. Didn’t they say that the emperor had died?

Eunuch Li and Eunuch Deng thought to themselves, “We didn’t say that.”

Shangguan Pu’s expression was even uglier. He glanced coldly at Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li, who were hiding behind the crowd.

He suddenly sneered and approached the emperor step by step. “Father, what are you talking about?”

“Unfilial son… Quick, save me.” The emperor was so frightened by Shangguan Pu that he crawled into the bed.

However, not a single guard entered. The ministers were also dumbfounded.

“Big Brother…” Shangguan Yao was stunned.

Empress Dowager Wei also reprimanded, “Shangguan Pu, what are you trying to do?”

Shangguan Pu drew his sword and pointed it at the emperor. He turned around and looked at Empress Dowager Wei coldly. “Don’t you understand? I’m going to kill my father and usurp the throne!”

At this point, he could no longer be bothered to think about how the emperor had woken up. Where had the secret guards he had sent to guard the emperor gone?

From the moment he nodded and let everyone in, he had no way out.

Shangguan Heng jumped up in excitement. “See, Eldest Brother. I was right. Those things…”

“Shut up.” Shangguan Pu shouted, “So what if I did it? In any case, don’t even think about leaving the Hidden Spirit Temple alive. Who else would even know what I’ve done?”

“I only need to tell the outside world that you were dissatisfied with Father passing the throne to me and intended to kill your father to usurp the throne. By the time I arrived with my men, you had already killed all these people. I had no choice but to put righteousness before family.” Shangguan Pu became more and more excited as he spoke. He took two steps forward and pulled the emperor off the bed, placing the sword on his neck.

Shangguan Heng’s mouth fell open in shock. He pointed at Shangguan Pu.

‘You!”

As soon as he said the word, a hand covered his mouth.

“Son, he’s already gone crazy. Don’t anger him,” Consort Shu said with a trembling voice.

If he wasn’t crazy, who would dare to say such a disgraceful thing directly?

Shangguan Yu glanced at the sword in Shangguan Pu’s hand that was pressed against the emperor’s throat. He raised his hand, and the fingertips under his sleeve moved slightly. However, he thought of something and finally put it down.

“Consort Shu is right.” Shangguan Pu sneered and turned to look at the emperor, who was so frightened that he didn’t dare to move. “Father, didn’t you want to call for help? How about I help you call for help?” “Men, arrest everyone here.”

As Shangguan Pu’s voice sounded, the people’s hearts sank.

The generals had already secretly clenched their fists, ready to fight at any moment.

However, after waiting for a long time, no guards came in. It was quiet outside, and there was not even the sound of anyone walking..
