Chapter 830: Attacking the Downtrodden Crown Prince
Soon, news came that His Majesty had been assassinated by an assassin. What followed was a major purge in the palace. The prince ordered a thorough investigation of the assassin. Many people died and many were arrested. People were panicked for a while, and they even complained about the prince behind his back.
At this time, the forces in the DPRK were divided into two factions. One faction wanted to support the second prince as emperor. Of course, they were led by General Li Rongli. The reason was very simple. His Majesty said it at the palace banquet before his death. , wanted to depose the prince and establish a new prince, and another group of people, mainly survivors of the previous prime minister's faction, gave a good rebuttal. The former emperor did not explicitly say that he wanted to establish the second prince as the prince, and the edict to depose the prince was even more Not to mention that His Highness the Crown Prince's legs are healed, so it stands to reason that the Crown Prince should ascend the throne.
The court was noisy every day, but it did not hinder the scenery, until suddenly the news came out that the prince had killed the late emperor.
The person who released the news was Yifu, who betrayed Zhou Yun.
This night, the wind was cold.
Zhou Yun did not return to the East Palace.
Feng Guang stood at the gate of the East Palace and waited for a long time before a eunuch came with the news that the second prince personally led troops to kill the traitor Zhou Yun who wanted to escape at the Meridian Gate.
Of course she didn't believe it. How could someone as smart as Zhou Yun die so easily? Until Yang Jie came, there was a carriage behind him. Feng Guang didn't ask what was in the carriage. She didn't even want to take a look. She turned around and stepped into the palace gate, but was stopped by the palace maid.
“Ms.
Feng Guang looked up at him and called out coldly: "Your Highness, the Second Prince."
Yang Jie paused for a while and said, "I came here today to send him back."
"What? His Highness the Second Prince has also started to do errands?" She did not ask who this "him" was, and even wanted to ignore the word "him".
Yang Jie said: "Miss Xia, why are you deceiving yourself?"
Feng Guang said nothing.
He suddenly sighed, as if Yang Jie was used to seeing life and death. He had never sighed before. After a moment, he said: "Don't hate me, he didn't die in my hands."
"It's impossible for Zhou Yun to die..."
"Ms. Xia, I know you don't like me, but today, I want you to listen to what I have to say."
She was silent.
"Zhou Yun... I am very grateful to him and admire him very much. He is a person I will never be able to catch up with." Everything that followed came slowly from Yang Jie's mouth.
A month ago, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the second prince's palace.
"Second Imperial Brother, I have something to discuss with you."
At this time, it was already an intense period for the two men to compete for the throne. Chen Hongdou stood in front of Yang Jie with a guarded look on his face, as if he had forgotten that she was a pregnant woman.
Yang Jie looked at the man in white in front of him and finally said to Chen Hongdou, "You go out first."
Chen Hongdou was worried, but looking at Yang Jie's expression, he still walked out with the palace maid and eunuch.
Zhou Yun sat down casually. He poured himself a cup of tea. He picked up the tea cup and smelled the tea. When he felt that it was not to his liking, he put it down again and said lightly: "I think you should know that our father's death I did it."
