Chapter 1429: Court Situation

The queen folded her hands on her lap, smiled at the second prince and changed her title: "It's just that today the imperial decree has come out. The second prince left Xiao Qi and me behind. Who will take it in the future?" The Second Prince’s claim to the throne is unjust, so our existence can be considered as a witness! What does the Second Prince say?”

Seeing the second prince raising his eyebrows, the queen continued: "Of course... I will keep this imperial edict a secret and not mention your majesty's appointment of Xiao Qi to the throne. The second prince will also keep a secret for me, not to mention your majesty's edict." How about asking me to be buried as a sacrifice?"

The queen was tantamount to giving her own information into the hands of the second prince, and wanted to seek a life for herself and her child from the second prince.

The second prince originally had extremely handsome features, probably due to excessive indulgence, and his sunken eye sockets. In the hall filled with yellow-orange firelight, those eyes became more and more cruel. He laughed softly: "Now that I am a swordsman and you are a fish, you still want to come and negotiate terms with me! The secret of the imperial edict? No one in this hall can get out alive tonight. You said... who would know what the edict was actually written? What the hell!”

As soon as the second prince finished speaking, the commander of the imperial army standing beside him nodded to his subordinates, raised his sword and dropped his sword. The maids, eunuchs in the hall, and the minister who was kneeling on the ground were all beheaded one after another.

"Second Prince, spare your life! Second Prince, spare your life!"

"Second Prince, please spare your life!"

"Queen, save this slave!"

In the main hall, screams erupted one after another, blood spattered on the partitions, and soon everything calmed down again.

A strong fishy-sweet smell permeated the entire hall.

The queen closed her eyes and tightened her folded hands on her legs. When her personal maid was killed, blood spattered on her face, and her lips seemed to be filled with the disgusting taste.

She wiped the blood from her eyes with a handkerchief and then raised her head...

It would be no exaggeration to say that there was a river of blood in the main hall. The blood flowed to the edge of the steps next to the emperor's bed and to the clothes of the eldest prince. The eldest prince was shaking so hard that he was afraid that his younger brother would go crazy and kill him too. .

"Second brother! Second brother... My father has passed the throne to you! My brother didn't hear anything just now!" The eldest prince knelt down and straightened his body quickly, kowtowing to the second prince, "Long live your Majesty!"

Seeing his brother's useless appearance, the second prince slapped the eldest prince on the face with his sword and said loudly: "Take him down and lock him up!"

"Yes!" The imperial army immediately dragged the eldest prince away.

The second prince approached the queen, raised his feet casually and stepped on the edge of the bed where the queen was sitting. He tilted his head and glanced at the emperor who was completely lifeless inside: "In this way... the queen handed over her seventh brother to me, and then followed her father. The emperor was buried! I will spare my seventh brother’s life!”

The Queen responded without hesitation: "Okay! Your seventh brother is asleep in the palace... Don't disturb him!"

When the second prince heard the queen's answer, he completely lost his patience and grabbed the queen's collar: "You still haven't told the truth? The entire palace is already my people! I don't know whether the seventh brother is in the palace or not?" Where did you hide your seventh brother?"

The queen looked at the second prince steadily: "Your seventh brother is asleep in the palace."

Why is the Queen so decisive this time and insisting on pushing her son to the throne of emperor? It is simply because the Queen understands the second prince's style. If the second prince ascends the throne, her child may not survive!

However, the queen was unwilling to give up her efforts to elect the eldest prince as the emperor. After all, her son was also a direct descendant.

"Your Highness!" The second prince's people came in from outside the main hall, clasped their fists and saluted, "The post has been surrounded, but there is only one chief envoy Liu Rushi left among the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the others are missing!"

The second prince's pupils tightened, and he turned to look at the queen: "You handed your seventh brother to the people of Dazhou, and here you are delaying time with me, and let the people of Dazhou take him away? What are your plans? Are you planning to let your son Rely on the Zhou army to fight back and take the throne?"

The queen pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

The second prince threw the queen beside the old emperor and stepped on the blood flowing on the ground with his deerskin boots.

The queen was thrown to the ground and threw herself on the old emperor. When she heard the sound of the second prince leading his troops away, she propped herself up and understood that the second prince was going to lead his men to chase him in person!

"Send the queen on her way to accompany the late emperor! The emperor will not be lonely on the road." The second prince's voice came from outside the palace.

She kept tightening her palms, hoping that the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty would lead the second prince away so that her son could reach the Great Zhou Dynasty safely.

It doesn't matter, although she lost this time...if she loses the throne, her son will become a commoner at worst. The things she prepared for her son are enough to make him rich and prosperous for a lifetime. It is better than losing his life waiting for the second prince to ascend the throne!

The people around the second prince asked the people at the inn and said that the envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty had left secretly not long ago. They guessed that the envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty was going back to the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they immediately rushed to the seaside and dispatched a large number of naval troops according to the order of the new emperor. , be sure to rob and kill the group of Great Zhou courtiers and the Seventh Prince before they arrive at the border of Great Zhou.

If Dazhou brings their legitimate son from Dongyi Kingdom back to Dazhou, he will definitely want to support a puppet emperor of their Dazhou in the future. He would rather kill his seventh brother than let this happen.

In the second year of Yuanhe, on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, the Dongyi Palace underwent a coup, and the second prince forced the palace to rebel.

It was already daybreak. Lu Fenglang sat in the boat and pursed her lips tightly. She wondered if the second prince forcing the palace to rebel was related to the proposal she gave to the queen. If it was really related to the proposal she gave to the queen, she was the one who broke this time. Big week thing.

In the cabin, the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty were still discussing, wondering why the second prince would suddenly force the palace to rebel, but even if he forced the palace to rebel... As envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, would it be possible that the second prince would really dare to kill them?

"Master Liu is just in case, so let us go first. Master Liu will stay in Dongyi. If he wants to come to Dongyi Kingdom, no matter who ascends the throne of emperor, he will not... nor dare to embarrass us, Great Zhou Envoy!"

"Yes! When the new king ascends the throne, it is precisely when he wants to stabilize the government and his neighbors. We, the Zhou Dynasty, are a powerful country. Is it possible that we are still afraid of this small country?"

Fan Yugan looked at Lu Fenglang's tense body, poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Fenglang, and said, "I know you are worried about Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu is letting us go just as a precaution. The second prince and I I have been in contact with him, and although people outside say he is a lunatic, he is not crazy enough to ignore the diplomatic relations between the two countries and insist on killing Mr. Liu!"

Lu Fenglang raised his eyes to look at Fan Yugan, and then whispered: "There is one thing I have never told Mr. Liu..."
