Chapter 496 All Died

"You! Why didn't you say this before? Now that you see this prince losing power, you will say it?"

The Marquis of Dingping knew before he came that this was not an easy job, so when he looked at the fourth prince, he was extremely indifferent, and then said something.

"My direct daughter entered your fourth prince's house as the royal concubine. She has worked diligently for many years, filial piety to His Majesty, noble concubine, and lenient to everyone in the house. But did she end up with a good end? She died only a short time ago, and you are rushing to marry her. The daughter of the Wei family came in. If we hadn't sent someone else here later, I'm afraid Wu'er would not have survived until a few days ago. Now that you are here to tell me this, why don't you think about it, when I said I would send another one? What was your attitude when you were the royal concubine?"

Marquis Dingping's words hit the fourth prince's nerves, and he regretted it now.

He originally thought that he would be more powerful than a tiger, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be rat poison and ruined the pot of porridge. If he had a choice, he would rather not marry a concubine than be treated like this.

Therefore, he could not refute what he said, but when he looked at Dingpinghou, he still hoped that he would let him go because of his past friendship. However, his life was a stepping stone for everyone in Dingpinghou's future. No matter what, I won't stay.

Therefore, Dingpinghou waved his hand and saw someone walking in.

It was the same as when the Queen sent the concubine to death, the poisoned wine dagger and Bai Ling. The fourth prince looked at these things and refused to kill them, and even cursed in his mouth.

"This prince is really blind. How come two of them are trying to kill me! Dingpinghou, don't think that if you kill me today, you will be favored by the prince. A wallflower like you, Do you think you will have a bright future if you join the prince? Hahaha, just dream!"

The Marquis of Dingping was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He glanced at the people behind him and immediately came up to four or five big men. They bundled them up, pressed them, and drank the poisonous wine into him.

The fourth prince struggled, but to no avail.

The wine entered his throat, and before the coolness had passed, he felt the blood flowing backwards throughout his body, and began to feel a burning sensation. Soon, the abdominal pain became unbearable. Those people were afraid that one glass would not be enough, so they pulled him hard. I drank a bottle of it.

The poison in the wine took effect, causing the fourth prince to roll on the floor in pain.

As he rolled, his mouth and nose began to bleed. He kept shouting "help", but there was no way these people in front of him could save him, so he had no way to appeal.

Until he took his last breath, his eyes were still full of resentment towards Marquis Dingping, but the pain prevented him from speaking complete words, otherwise they would just be curse words.

After confirming that the fourth prince was dead, the Marquis of Dingping breathed a sigh of relief.

"I chose you sincerely when I chose you. However, you can't hold up the wall, and I can't drag the whole family to bury you with you. So we are destined to be together, and I will try my best to keep your body intact, but You can't have a grand burial, but your mother and brother are with you, so this journey of reincarnation won't be too lonely."

After saying this, he looked at the subordinates who were following him and gave instructions.

"Find a coffin and calm down first. It's not easy for a person to survive."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

When the news of the death of the fourth prince and the seventh prince reached the prince's ears, he truly breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, all possibilities that hindered his accession to the throne were eliminated. Now, all he needs to do is to unite everything that can be united The power of the people will create a prosperous and glorious new dynasty.

Outside, Gu Shaoyu and Guo Xiang were also divided into two factions. One led the Huben Army to investigate the case of the former prince, and the other led the courtiers to begin to break down and integrate the newly defected forces.

For Xiang Guo, he hopes that those who stay will be dedicated to the great good, and do not need to form cliques for personal gain or tit-for-tat, but rather do more serious things in a down-to-earth manner.

Therefore, a lot of the cases of aristocratic families protecting each other and corrupt officials that had occurred during the late emperor's reign were also dealt with.

There are smart people who stop thinking in advance and stay quietly behind closed doors to save their lives, but there are also stupid people who insist on making a fuss, and naturally they will not end well.

By mid-April, the entire city of Sui'an had said goodbye to the bloody storm of the past month and welcomed hope.

April 18th is not only Tai Geer's third birthday party, but also the day appointed by the new emperor to ascend the throne. Therefore, the entire city of Sui'an has been cleaned many times, and both the streets and vendors have been tidied up and cleaned in an orderly manner. After doing some counseling, I felt like everything was renewed.

There were originally outings or spring banquets in March, but now I don’t dare to do them.

During the national mourning period, the emperor was still in mourning. If the courtiers below him became lively, what would it mean if they were just seeking their own death?

General's Mansion, in Xitang Courtyard.

The flower branches are blooming luxuriantly, and there is a lot of fragrance of pink and white peaches and plums among the lush greenery, which makes people feel happy just looking at it.

It's just that because it's a period of national mourning, red is not allowed in the house, so the lively atmosphere is missing.

Du Jingyi had just woken up from his nap when he heard movement.

"You should be gentle when moving things. Madam is taking a lunch break."

When I heard this, I felt as if I had gone back to a few years ago, when my general had just returned to the imperial court from Cezhou, and for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"cherry."

Du Jingyi shouted outside, and when Cherry heard the call, she naturally returned to the house.

"Madam, are you awake?"

"Well, what's going on outside?"

"Someone from the palace sent something here, saying it was for the Madam and the young masters. I took a look and found that most of them were fashionable materials and porcelain bottles."

This was really strange, so Du Jingyi asked.

"Who sent someone to send it?"

"The person who sent it only said that it was a noble lady in the palace, but I stuffed some silver and found out that it was a noble lady in the Qingxiang Palace."

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the harem would naturally be given a title and a position, but there was no official title yet, so they were all called noble ladies.

The Crown Princess legitimately moved into Changchun Palace. The former Concubine Lin lived in Heqing Palace, Concubine Li lived in Xian'an Palace, Concubine Wang lived in Haining Palace, and the favored Concubine Zong Liangdi lived in Yingyue Palace. The Qingxiang Palace was where the eldest lady sent by the Xing family lived.

The eldest daughter of the Xing family was once the one that the eldest sister-in-law Liu had her eyes on and wanted to marry Ping'er to. Unfortunately, the people in the Xing family's main house were very proud, and a mere Duke's Mansion was not in their eyes, so they sent her to Sui'an City earlier.

Facts have proved that they really stepped on her, and now she is in the main hall of the first palace, at least a concubine.
