Chapter 1,092: Who Is Behind the Military’s Crossbow?

"Princess Chen, a woman from the inner courtyard, actually attracted people to kill her, and even used a strong crossbow. Can any of you tell me why the strong crossbow in the army appeared in Prince Chen's Mansion? It was to kill Princess Chen. Or are you going to destroy Prince Chen’s Mansion? Princess Chen is just a weak woman, what’s wrong with you!”

In the high hall, the emperor threw down the few books he had at hand, and by coincidence, they landed next to King Yue and King Zhou.

The two princes were standing at the front, and a few booklets thrown down by the emperor happened to hit them in front of them. One book even hit King Yue on the head.

King Yue made no sound when he was hit. He didn't even dare to reach out and touch it, and continued to stand motionless.

Did the emperor hit the two princes intentionally or accidentally? It is really hard to explain. What is even more unexplainable is that Prince Cheng also came to court.

King Cheng rarely went to court in the past. How could he happen to come here today? Is it really a coincidence, or is it something else?

Attack Princess Chen? Why did you attack Princess Chen? Many courtiers were confused. Not everyone was well informed, especially the news in the palace.

Many courtiers still don't know that Princess Chen was involved in the previous incident, and they are at a loss now as to what it means to deal with Princess Chen.

She is just a princess, and she is also the princess of King Chen. Now that King Chen is not in the palace, what are the intentions of someone to deal with Princess Chen? Is it possible that these princes have some intentions?

If it was to deal with King Chen, they would have thought better of it. To deal with a harmless Princess Chen in the inner court, it was really a big deal out of a molehill, especially now that they were talking about using a military crossbow. This kind of crossbow was not a folk weapon. It can be collected, and anyone who collects it will be guilty of a serious crime, but the current meaning is that not only did he collect it, but he also used such a powerful military crossbow, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Is this a plan to rebel?

The courtiers were in a panic, looking at the two princes Yue Wang and Zhou Wang from time to time, and some looked at King Cheng. In fact, King Cheng is also very suspicious, isn't it!

Using so many powerful weapons is not something ordinary people can do. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the meaning of killing Princess Chen, but one thing is certain, it must be the royal family's own hands.

These three are indeed the most suspicious at the moment, and of course King Xin, who is not in power, is also suspicious.

It's just that this suspicion is not comparable to the ones currently in power.

"Tell me, why do you want to kill Princess Chen? If King Chen is here, is it possible that King Chen was the one who got into trouble last night?" The emperor's hand pointed at several sons, including his own brothers. He was furious.

After what happened last night, someone immediately reported to the emperor. They heard that something happened in Prince Chen's Mansion and that Princess Chen was injured. Although she was in the house at the time and happened to lower her head to avoid it, she was still injured. In the panic, she was still injured. Someone rushed in and stabbed him, and he was still lying there not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Thinking of this, the emperor was so angry that his whole body trembled.

"I'm not dead yet, but they can't hold it anymore. Even Prince Chen's Mansion can't tolerate it, so who else can tolerate it? Should we wait until I die and kill all the other royal family members!" The emperor said forcefully. He patted the table and said angrily.

Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou couldn't stand any longer, so they each knelt down with a "plop".

King Cheng looked at his two nephews, and then at the furious royal brother above him. He had no choice but to kneel down. They were the only ones in the court who were worthy of this sentence.

"Father, when I left the palace yesterday, I was a little late, so I just stayed in my old palace." Chu Liuyue explained.

"Father, I had friends drinking outside yesterday, and someone testified." Chu Liuyi said with an upright face.

"Brother Emperor, I was listening to the scriptures yesterday. There are many people in Huaguang Temple who can testify!" King Cheng sighed and said helplessly.

In this case, if a person says it, his suspicion is indeed cleared. No matter who it is, there is evidence of alibi, and someone proves that they did nothing.

But the three people came together, and it happened so coincidentally, and someone proved it, which made people a little suspicious.

It happened to be delayed by something, and there were witnesses. It was really too deliberate. Could it be that these three people had a hand in it?

The courtiers didn't say a word, but secretly guessed in their hearts who did it. It must be one of the three, or two, or even three. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the three of them There are witnesses who were not present. At this time in the past, in fact, if they were in their house, there might not be witnesses.

Being overly deliberate is intentional.

The three people also discovered the problem, and looked at the other two people with a gloomy face. They all thought it was very suspicious, how could it be such a coincidence!

"What a coincidence. The three of you have witnesses, and you are not from your own family. Did I blame you wrongly?" The emperor mocked, his face ashen.

"Father, my sons and ministers don't dare!"

"Father, the matter of our children and ministers was decided long ago, and we did not act suddenly yesterday!"

"Brother Imperial, I also made an agreement with the monks in Huaguang Temple early."

The explanations of the three people were strangely similar, and even the dullest courtiers could tell that something was wrong. These three people really didn't seem to be clean.

"I will find out about this matter. No matter who did it, I will never forgive him lightly!" The emperor said sternly, "Someone, please send King Yue, King Zhou, and King Cheng back to the palace and keep them under guard."

This means that all the princes will be imprisoned.

The courtiers couldn't stand it anymore and knelt down one by one. In front of them were the two prime ministers.

"Your Majesty, please think twice, this kind of thing may be caused by someone. If your Majesty puts all three princes under supervision, you may be taking advantage of others!" Zhang Xiangjin said.

Prime Minister Wen also spoke: "Your Majesty, there are many doubts about this matter, but no matter what, Princess Chen is fine now. We can't let the three princes be put under supervision because of Princess Chen!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" All the ministers kowtowed together.

Above the main hall, the emperor's face was sinking like water. He looked coldly at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, his eyes cold.

Derong, the eunuch who was standing next to him, looked at his nose and mouth, motionless, and did not dare to vent his anger. The emperor was really angry. He, a little eunuch, should not get involved in anything. Nice inside.

The former dynasty was in chaos, and the harem was also in chaos. The empress knelt down and cried in front of the queen mother. Those who cried with her and couldn't get up were the empress De Fei.

"Mother, this matter really has nothing to do with the two princes. King Yue and King Zhou are crazy and want to deal with Princess Chen. What are the benefits of dealing with Princess Chen? Why do they let them do it desperately and beg the mother to protect the two emperors? Please beg me, the emperor wants to put them under supervision."

When the queen begged for mercy, she deliberately pulled Chu Liuyue along with her.

The news that the previous emperor was angry had reached the harem. This time, the empress and the concubine were united in a rare moment, standing together and wholeheartedly interceding for the two princes.

"The Queen Mother, King Yue has been a sensible person since he was a child and has always been kind. How dare you do such a thing? Although he looks a little cold, it is because too many women come to him. In fact, he is very gentle in his heart. Please The Queen Mother is investigating this matter and must not let the Emperor misunderstand the two princes!"

Concubine De was crying so hard that she looked much gentler than the Empress, who was occasionally aggressive.

She was the biological mother of the emperor's first son, so she was naturally different from the other concubines. Later, she was the first of the four concubines, and she was also very decent in front of the Queen Mother.

At this time, I was kneeling on the ground, crying so hard that I couldn't stand up.

"Mother, King Zhou and King Yue are really innocent. Please save them and don't let them be implicated in these things. Princess Chen is fine right now. I heard she is much better!" The Queen said on her side Said while wiping tears.

"The Queen Mother..." Concubine De cried.

"Okay, stop talking!" The Queen Mother slapped her hand heavily on the table, and her gloomy eyes slid over the faces of the Queen and Concubine De.

What happened last night was so unexpected that the Queen Mother still can't believe that she actually used such powerful weapons to deal with Shao Wanru. Was she really planning to rebel?

Who has such a powerful crossbow in his hand? It is a killing weapon several times more powerful than an arrow. Thinking of how nearly something happened to Princess Chen last night, the Queen Mother is still worried.

If something really happened to Shao Wanru, what would happen to Chen'er? Wouldn't one of them be able to hold on and follow him all at once? How could these people want Princess Chen's life? They clearly wanted Prince Chen. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's heart was filled with fire.

Originally she was pleased with Concubine De, but now she was displeased with her. If she said that this kind of thing had nothing to do with the princes, she really wouldn't believe it.

"You can't tolerate Chen'er like this. His body is like this. You can't tolerate him. Now it's Princess Chen. Will she be Prince Chen next time?" The Queen Mother pointed at the Queen and Concubine De and cursed angrily. road.

"Mother, I don't have any concubines."

"The Queen Mother..."

"Come here, please bring the Queen and Concubine De back. Until the matter is over, the two empresses will stay in their palaces for the time being. Regarding matters in the palace, let them first..." The Empress Dowager thought for a while. He said, "Let Concubine Ming take charge first, and then find two older concubines to join us."

The Queen Mother made a decision.

"Mother..." the queen wailed. She had always been in charge of the harem. She never thought that such a thing would actually have her power taken away. How could she be willing to do so.

"Go down, wait until the matter is cleared up!" the Queen Mother said sternly, having already made a decision in her heart. The Queen and Concubine De in the palace must be supervised to prevent them from fighting with the two grandsons outside the palace. More things were brought out. Although Concubine Ming was also suspicious, compared to the two of them, Concubine Ming's suspicion was much smaller.

It is best to temporarily let the concubine Ming replace the queen and exercise the responsibility of managing the harem.
