The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 290 The prince goes crazy

The emperor pondered for a long time, tapping his fingers lightly on the imperial desk. The hall was so quiet that only the crisp tapping sound could be heard.

Then, he slowly said, "The time is almost up. It is time for Ji's daughter, Ji Yun, to enter the palace."

When Eunuch Qian heard this, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes, and he quickly leaned forward and replied, "Yes, yes, I'll do it right away!"

The emperor nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal Eunuch Qian to leave.

After the people left, he lowered his head to look at the letter on the imperial desk, stroked the seal with his fingertips, and his eyes were deep.

The handwriting on the letter was beautiful and neat, and the signature read: "Ning'er personally wrote this."

The corners of his mouth slowly rose, the meaning of which was difficult to discern.

-

Outside the window, the sun slowly sets, and the sunset glows on the eaves of the Forbidden City in alternating golden and red, brilliant and solemn.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the palace servants were busy in an orderly manner. Some brought hot tea, while others used brocade handkerchiefs embroidered with gold thread to wipe away the dust on the table.

Several young eunuchs lit the candles skillfully, and the warm lights in the hall gradually lit up, illuminating the emperor's profile, deep and majestic.

At this moment, a young eunuch rushed in in a hurry. Before he could report, he fell to his knees in the hall with a plop, panting and a look of terrified.

Eunuch Qian frowned and immediately chased after him, scolding him in a deep voice: "How can you be so unreasonable!"

However, the young eunuch who was kneeling on the ground did not raise his head. His whole body was trembling slightly. He spoke in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor frowned and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

The young eunuch swallowed his saliva, as if he had mustered up all his courage, and finally squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The crown prince..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the slightly tired look on his face disappeared.

He stared at the eunuch kneeling on the ground and said in a cold tone, "You bastard! Can't you even speak clearly?"

The young eunuch’s head was almost touching the ground, and his voice was trembling: “The prince… the prince has gone mad!”

The hall was dead silent for a moment.

The emperor stood up suddenly, his dragon robe fluttering, and pressure suddenly descended upon him.

"what!"

-

The prince's bedroom was in a mess.

The exquisite carved mahogany table was overturned to the ground, the precious blue and white porcelain vase shattered into countless pieces, and the scattered spices and medicinal powders mixed together, exuding a strange and choking smell.

Most of the golden curtains were torn, and the brocade quilt on the couch was torn in many places, like a ruin after a storm.

Several sturdy eunuchs tried their best to hold the prince down, but even so, the prince still struggled frantically, muttering something nonsense, his eyes were empty and his face was full of expressions of fear and madness.

His clothes were disheveled, veins bulged on his forehead, and there were even bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, as if he had bitten himself.

"Ahhh-"

The prince suddenly let out a shrill roar.

The queen was slumped beside the bed. Her once elegant bun was now loose, her hair was disheveled, her face was as pale as paper, and she seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

She stretched out her trembling hand, wanting to touch the prince's face, but the moment she touched it, the prince suddenly tilted his head and bit her wrist hard!

"what--!"

The queen cried out in pain, and blood dripped from her wrist to the ground, staining the broken porcelain pieces red.

"Your Highness!" The eunuchs were so frightened that they rushed forward and tried their best to pry open the prince's teeth.

The queen no longer cared about her own wounds. Her tears fell continuously and she almost cried herself to death.

"My child...what's wrong with you?"

Her tears dried up and her voice was hoarse and desperate.

Tong Jia Ruyan, who was standing nearby, saw this and immediately stepped forward to support the queen, with a hint of heartache in her eyes.

She patted the queen's back gently, trying to calm her down.

But she herself was not in much better condition - there was a deep wound at the base of her right hand, and blood was still oozing out, which was a shocking sight.

But at this moment she had no time to bandage the wound and could only endure the pain and continue to comfort the queen.

The prince was still struggling, as if he was swallowed by some invisible fear, muttering unclear words.

"Don't look...don't look at me!"

"Go away!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

He suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was sharp and piercing, like a crazy ghost whispering in the darkness.

Everyone in the hall was horrified by this scene. They looked at each other with beads of cold sweat on their foreheads.

Several eunuchs originally held the prince's hands and feet tightly, but the prolonged struggle gradually made the eunuchs lose their strength.

Just when they relaxed a little, the prince suddenly exploded, like a beast that had been imprisoned for a long time. He shook off the restraints, slammed the eunuch beside him away, and ran towards the palace gate.

"Stop His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Someone cried out in surprise, but it was too late.

The mad prince staggered but quickly, still wearing silk restraints that he could not get rid of, his eyes were dazed and he kept muttering nonsense.

He waved his hands around as if trying to drive away something invisible, and his face showed an expression of almost desperate fear.

"Don't come over here...don't look at me!"

boom--

The moment he rushed out, his sleeves swept across the tall candlestick in the corner of the palace, and the candle fell, instantly igniting the curtain.

Flames rose instantly and black smoke billowed up to the roof, casting an eerie red glow over the entire bedroom.

"Quickly put out the fire!"

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

In the midst of chaos, the prince had already rushed out of the bedroom, but before he could run far, he suddenly bumped into someone.

It's the emperor!

The prince took a step back due to inertia, while the emperor stood firmly in place, his sharp eyes fixed on his son in front of him.

The anger in his eyes only stayed for a moment, and then he raised his hand and slapped the prince in the face mercilessly!

Snapped--!

This sudden slap made everyone around gasp.

The prince's face was hit to one side, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but he did not back down. Instead, he suddenly laughed excitedly, like a mad hound with bloodthirsty madness in his eyes.

Suddenly, he pounced on the emperor!

"Escort!"

The guards immediately rushed forward, with several gleaming swords pointed at the prince, and they quickly pinned him to the ground.

The prince roared and struggled, but in the end he was no match for several well-trained guards and was pinned down.

The emperor's expression changed constantly, from initial shock and anger, to sudden fear, and finally being covered by even more surging anger.

He was too familiar with this kind of madness.

Exactly the same as when Luo Mian went crazy.

The queen stumbled out of the bedroom, and when she saw this scene, she knelt down at the emperor's feet, crying like rain.

"Your Majesty! Save the prince!"

She cried bitterly, grasped the emperor's robe with both hands, and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Save the prince!"

"What on earth happened? Why did this happen? The prince was fine, how could he become like this?!"

Among the crowd, only Tong Jia Ruyan knew that the prince did not go crazy "suddenly".

The emperor was silent for a moment, and finally uttered a few words coldly:

"Tie up the prince!"

The voice was emotionless, cold and eerie.

Several guards immediately brought iron chains and silk cloths and tied up the prince, but even so, the prince continued to struggle, roaring wildly with crazy eyes.

When the queen saw this, she burst into tears.

But the emperor did not look at her again. Instead, he shook her hand away in disgust, kicked her body away from where she was kneeling at his feet, and said coldly:

"What else can you do besides cry!"

After saying this, he turned around and left the prince's bedroom without looking back.

The emperor stepped out of the bedroom, tilted his head slightly and looked at Eunuch Qian beside him.

Eunuch Qian understood immediately.

What the emperor meant was: kill all the servants who knew that the prince was crazy.

"The slave understands."

Eunuch Qian turned around and re-entered the bedroom.

After a while, blood slowly flowed down the steps at the entrance of the temple, interweaving with the afterglow of the setting sun, dyeing the entire sky and earth red.

And the other side.

The carrier pigeon released by the emperor himself has already flown into the sky.

Fly to Shennong Gate.
