After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Chapter 174 Usurping the Throne

When he took Qiao's brother back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the news leaked to the Qiao family, and they immediately rushed to stop Huang Jiuyuan...

He was blocked by the Qiao family and the other two, which alarmed the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister ran out of the room, his face panicked as he came out, and asked Huang Jiuyuan, "What did you hear?"

"I...I didn't!" Huang Jiuyuan knew what kind of person his father was. Just as he was about to cover it up, he changed the subject, pointed at Huang Weiming and cursed, "Father, do you know how my grandmother died? She was killed by those two! There was no remnant of the Second Prince! Qiao's brother has already admitted it!"

Huang Weiming and Mrs. Qiao were not overly alarmed. Huang Weiming was about to arrest Huang Jiuyuan, but the Prime Minister remained silent. Several people then came in and took Huang Jiuyuan away. He knelt on the ground, a look of disbelief on his face. "Could it be that my father knew about my grandmother's death all along?"

The Prime Minister met his gaze, seeming slightly ashamed. "I advised you not to investigate further! Your grandmother's death was an accident."

"Father, I really underestimated you! You condoned the man who killed your mother, and now you're trying to seize power and usurp the throne. Throughout history, traitors and rebels have always had a good ending. Stop it!"

"Did you hear that?" The Prime Minister's face darkened, his eyes filled with calculation. "Your Majesty's health will eventually fail. It's all because the late Emperor didn't have many children, leaving us with so few heirs! Rather than letting the throne fall into the hands of others, it's better for me to take it."

"You have such a wicked ambition! Father, that's my sister's husband! He's also your son-in-law! Why are you so eager to seize power and usurp the throne? Aren't you afraid of implicating so many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion? For all these years, I had no idea you harbored such an ambition!"

"Hmph! You're a useless loser, a hopeless case! I've been planning this for decades! God help me! Prince Ding'an is also unconscious, and there's no one else available at court! Now is the time to accomplish my great cause!" The Prime Minister glanced at him, trying to prevent him from causing any trouble, and said to Huang Weiming, "Keep an eye on him to prevent any further trouble."

Huang Jiuyuan's face was ashen as he allowed himself to be dragged away. He had once thought that his father, even if he wasn't a good person, was at least a filial man. But he never imagined that his father would actually condone the Qiao family and others to kill people! Condoning them to kill the old lady!

What's more, he even wanted to seize power and usurp the throne! He wanted to seize the throne of his son-in-law.

The successive news caught Huang Jiuyuan off guard and on the verge of collapse!

He was taken to the woodshed by Huang Weiming and Qiao and tied to a pillar. After the others left, only Huang Weiming and Qiao were left.

Qiao's expression changed and she asked, "Where's my brother? Where is he detained?"

Huang Jiuyuan glared at her and angrily scolded her, "Bah, you vicious woman!"

Huang Weiming rushed forward and kicked him, then protected Qiao behind him. He looked at Huang Jiuyuan and sneered, "Do you know why Father didn't punish me and my mother?"

"Why!"

"Do you know how your grandmother died?"

"You killed my grandmother! I will kill you!" Huang Jiuyuan screamed with gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

"You can't kill me! It's all because my grandmother heard something she shouldn't have." Huang Weiming smiled and played with his fingers. He glanced at Huang Jiuyuan with disdain, full of amusement. "It's all because she heard the cause of your mother's death!"

Huang Weiming's laughter echoed like thunder in his ears. Huang Jiuyuan's mind gradually became confused, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. He struggled to break free from the ropes, and his body was strangled with circles of red marks. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "How did my mother die! How did she die! Did you kill her?"

Seeing Huang Jiuyuan's embarrassed look, Qiao also laughed. She pinched Huang Jiuyuan's jaw and slammed his head against the pillar, "You damn thing! Why didn't you die with your mother earlier? You occupied what should have belonged to Weiming! Your mother is just a merchant's daughter. Your father married her just because her money could help him. If it weren't for your mother!" Qiao gritted her teeth, her eyes full of hatred, "If it weren't for your mother, I wouldn't have become a concubine! It was clearly your father and I who were the first to get engaged, but your mother was so shameless that your father had to marry her! If it weren't for her! I would have been the wife of this prime minister's mansion long ago!"

Huang Jiuyuan was so dizzy from the collision that blood flowed from his hair. He glared at Qiao and cursed with all his might, "Bitch! Even if father didn't marry mother, it wouldn't be your turn! You were born to be a concubine!"

Huang Weiming was enraged and rushed forward and kicked him, knocking him unconscious.

Huang Jiuyuan stared at the two of them in confusion again, "If you have the guts, kill me! I don't believe my father will remain indifferent!"

Mrs. Qiao suddenly laughed and patted Huang Jiuyuan's face. "How do you think your mother died? After your father married your mother, he regretted it every day. So! I came up with an idea and asked your father to send two pots of poisonous Clivia to your mother. Your father didn't hesitate at all. When the news of your mother's death came out, I knew it was time for me to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion! Who knew that old thing would let your father marry Yuan before agreeing to let me in? I really hate her! But your mother kept a thing like you, who was protected by that old lady and couldn't die again! I didn't want to touch her, but she heard the reason for your mother's death, and I accidentally killed her! What if your father knew? If it was him, I believe he wouldn't let that old thing go! If that old thing told your sister, do you think your father would be better off? But your father also knew that you two siblings couldn't be tamed!"

"It's you! You killed my mother! I want you to pay with your lives! Sister, I won't let you go!" Huang Jiuyuan used all his strength to push forward, but the rope was too tight and his head was dizzy and ringing. When he heard that the cause of his mother's death was related to his father, his eyes were sore and tears kept flowing out.

Mrs. Qiao patted his face again, "You won't let us go? Ha! When your father succeeds in usurping the throne, what will you still want with your sister? Do you think your father would keep a woman with the blood of the former emperor? You two ungrateful wolves will never be able to defeat me! When your father ascends the throne, the first person he'll deal with will be you, a traitor!"

Huang Jiuyuan took the opportunity to bite Qiao's hand. Qiao's palm was bitten by him and she screamed in pain.

Huang Weiming rushed forward and punched Huang Jiuyuan, knocking him unconscious. Only then was Qiao's hand freed.

She hung her hand in the air and screamed, "It hurts so much! This damn thing!"

"Mom, I'll take you to apply medicine." Huang Weiming loved his mother the most, and now he was venting all the hatred that his mother had for being subservient to him throughout her life.

Huang Jiuyuan was dying...

The two of them gave up, and Huang Weiming helped Qiao go out to apply medicine.

When he left, he asked someone to keep an eye on the woodshed.

The Prime Minister sent people to guard the Prime Minister's residence strictly, and not even a fly was let out.

The Prime Minister has made all preparations!

A large number of soldiers and horses were assembled, and boxes of weapons were carried out of the Bull Market. He had spent so many years ensuring that these weapons were properly stored in the Bull Market.

Eighty percent of the people in the bull market are supported by him.

The troops were assembled, and he led them towards the palace, feeling that they were unstoppable.

Heavy troops from Helan Prefecture and Yuan Prefecture were sent to the border.

Gu Shicheng was also unconscious and unable to give orders to his soldiers.

Only Yuan Xu was left. What was there for him to be afraid of? He was just a young, inexperienced boy!

The Prime Minister shouted, "When I ascend the throne, everyone will be rewarded!"

Morale is high!

He had his men surround the palace, broke through the defenses of the palace gate effortlessly, and headed straight for Hengyang Palace with ease.
