Chapter 466 Threat
When the second prince first heard that assassins had entered Concubine An's bedroom and there was a fire, he was a little worried, but he never thought that his mother would die.
Because he not only knew that there were many maids and nannies serving Concubine An in her palace, but also noticed that Zhao Chuanlin loved his mother.
No matter what danger there was, with them around, his mother would not be in trouble.
But now, the second prince was so upset that his intestines turned green. If he didn't need Zhao Chuanlin to help him control the power in Kyoto, he would have wanted to kill him right now.
"What happened? Why was my mother killed by the queen?"
The second prince really couldn't figure it out. With Zhao Chuanlin's martial arts, how could the queen kill his mother.
Zhao Chuanlin closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them, he stared at Ling Chu like a venomous snake.
The reason why he dared to meet Concubine An at night was because he knew that the entire palace was under the control of him and Concubine An. No one would find out about his relationship with Concubine An.
Even if there was, he was confident that no one in the palace would dare to expose it.
After all, the lives of those maids and nannies were in the hands of Concubine An.
But the situation was completely out of his control.
Zhao Chuanlin thought about it, if anyone could secretly rescue the queen from the cold palace, sneak into Concubine An's bedroom without anyone noticing, and drug him and Concubine An.
Apart from this Princess Jiashan, he couldn't think of anyone else who had this ability.
There was another reason why Zhao Chuanlin was so sure that Ling Chu did it, and that was the confession of Nanny Cao.
Just when Concubine An accused the queen of framing them, Nanny Cao was like a demon, and she told all about his relationship with Concubine Xian in public.
Nanny Cao had always been loyal to Concubine An, and her whole family depended on Concubine Xian and the second prince to survive. If she hadn't been tricked, how could she have exposed their affairs.
The queen knew about the affair between Zhao Chuanlin and Concubine An, so she forced Concubine An to commit suicide in public.
Seeing that the second prince was finally going to ascend the throne, Concubine An was naturally unwilling to die.
She insisted that she was innocent, and that it was the queen who was unwilling to lose everything, so she framed her and Deputy Commander Zhao, and bribed Cao Ma to slander them.
The prince was dead, and the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War was destroyed. The queen wanted to kill Concubine An. Seeing that her affair was exposed, she not only did not admit it, but also turned the tables and said that she was the one who framed her.
The queen was furious and immediately pulled out the jade hairpin on her head and stabbed Concubine An.
Although Zhao Chuanlin was poisoned, he was a martial artist after all, and recovered faster than Concubine An.
Witnessing Concubine An being stabbed, Zhao Chuanlin was stimulated, broke free from the suppression of the two palace maids, flew over and beat the queen away.
Although he only hit her once, Zhao Chuanlin used all his strength, and the queen died on the spot.
As long as he thought about how he had waited for so many years and was about to have Concubine An, but was harmed by Princess Jiashan, Zhao Chuanlin wanted to destroy the world.
He wanted to avenge the woman he loved.
Zhao Chuanlin suddenly jumped up, his face ferocious, and raised his palm to hit Ling Chu.
Ling Chu had just seen that his eyes were not right, and had been on guard.
But Ning Chuyi was one step faster than her.
Zhao Chuanlin was still in the air, and Ning Chuyi's long sword had already slashed out.
One wanted to kill, and the other wanted to stop.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than a dozen moves.
Although Zhao Chuanlin's martial arts were not weak, he was still a little behind Ning Chuyi.
In addition, he didn't have time to bring a sword to save Concubine An, and he couldn't beat Ning Chuyi with his bare hands.
He was kicked away by him.
Zhao Chuanlin hit the wall and slid to the ground again.
Just when he wanted to jump up, he grabbed the long sword of the imperial guard next to him.
The phoenix tail flower on Ling Chu's brow suddenly felt hot.
The big shovel had already slapped Zhao Chuanlin away with lightning speed.
Zhao Chuanlin was already seriously injured by Ning Chuyi, and even though she was a martial arts expert, she couldn't withstand Ling Chu's shovel.
"Miss Han, the emperor gave you the title of Princess Jiashan so that you can be a virtuous and kind lady and do more good deeds.
But you are so cruel and ruthless, you really don't deserve the emperor's grace."
Ling Chu almost couldn't help but roll her eyes at Kang Anbo in public.
She was not stupid. Zhao Chuanlin hated her so much that he wanted to kill her. If she let him go, wouldn't it be like putting a bomb on herself.
Or the kind that could explode at any time.
"My Lord, the Second Prince hasn't said anything yet, but you can't wait to jump out.
If you don't know, you'd think you're the son of Deputy Commander Zhao."
Kang Anbo's face was distorted with anger, "You..."
Ling Chu snorted coldly and interrupted him without any hesitation, "My Lord, do you deserve the title of Earl given to you by the Emperor by defending Zhao Chuanlin so much?"
Kang Anbo's face suddenly changed.
Seeing the Second Prince staring at him with a sinister look, his heart suddenly tightened.
With the death of Concubine An Xian, their Kang Anbo Mansion has lost its best backer. We can't let the Second Prince dislike him again.
Kang Anbo no longer cared about causing trouble for Ling Chu, and bowed to the officials in the palace, "Everyone, according to the urgent news from the north, the two tribes of Wala and Tatar joined forces to invade our border, burning, killing and looting.
The Japanese pirates in the south are also ready to attack Kuaiji, Jingde and other places.
As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, otherwise it will no longer be a country.
For the sake of our Chongzhao Dynasty and the safety of the people of the world, a new king should be established as soon as possible."
"Your Highness is wise and powerful, I request Your Highness, "Ascend the throne immediately!"
Kang Anbo's words touched the heart of the second prince.
Those officials who were good at changing their attitudes were the best at observing words and expressions, and immediately advised.
"Kang Anbo is right. The Second Prince is smart and kind, generous and benevolent, and has outstanding virtues. He is worthy of being the new emperor of our dynasty."
"I beg the Second Prince to ascend the throne immediately, drive out foreign enemies, and defeat the Japanese pirates."
"I beg the Second Prince to ascend the throne immediately."
…
Prince Rui's face was dark blue. The emperor was not dead yet, and they were all supporting the Second Prince.
Kang Anbo was so aware of the current situation that the Second Prince was very satisfied.
Although he wanted to put on the dragon robe and sit on the dragon throne immediately. But in order to avoid criticism, the Second Prince still planned to say a righteous refusal to let all officials know that he had no intention of ascending the throne.
Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, Ma Yushi, who always claimed to be a straight minister, suddenly strode out and scolded the Second Prince.
"Second Prince, the Emperor's whereabouts are unknown.
You did not think of sending someone to find the Emperor as soon as possible, but instead took advantage of the Emperor's absence from Kyoto to usurp the throne.
How can you be worthy of the new emperor if you are so disloyal and unfilial!"
The second prince looked grim.
The eunuch beside him suddenly said with a fake smile, "I have always heard that Ma Yushi is filial. I wonder if the emergency of the Madam of the Yushi Mansion has been cured?
A few days ago, Master Ma fell off his horse and broke his leg. Has the injury improved now?"
Ma Yushi's face turned pale.
He knew that the eunuch's words were a threat to him.
His mother's emergency and his son's broken leg had to be treated by the imperial physician.
The eunuch was warning him again that if he opposed the second prince's enthronement, his mother and son would not only not be cured, but also their lives would be in danger.
