Chapter 979: Martial Law in the Capital
The two imperial doctors were even more trembling, kneeling on the ground without daring to raise their heads.
Xiao Yu walked to the bedside and looked at the motionless emperor on the bed, and slowly knelt down.
The queen also knelt down and stared at the emperor on the bed, and only then did she dare to burst into tears.
In any case, the couple who had been together for more than 20 years still had some feelings.
Gu Fei also knelt down, Xiao Yu kowtowed a few times, stood up, looked around the room, and called the emperor's personal eunuch over, "Go and call the commander of the imperial guards who is on duty tonight."
The eunuch ran out in a panic.
Not long after, the commander of the imperial guards strode into Changchun Palace.
On the way here, the commander of the imperial guards asked the eunuch in detail.
The eunuch did not dare to hide it, and told him in detail that the emperor had taken the red pill in Changchun Palace and had a stroke. The imperial doctors came over and were helpless.
When the commander of the imperial guards heard that the prince had arrived, he was slightly stunned, and then relieved.
He was the emperor's confidant, and he had heard the emperor vaguely talk about the extraordinary things about the Crown Princess, such as the horse purchase, and the emperor boasted to him with pride.
He said that the Crown Princess could make great progress in a day.
After entering the bedroom, the commander of the imperial guards took the opportunity to kneel down and pay homage to the emperor and secretly checked the emperor's face.
His face was not black, and there was no bleeding from his mouth and nose, so it didn't look like he died of poisoning.
It wasn't that he thought too much, the emperor's sudden death without any signs would make him suspicious.
After the commander of the imperial guards knelt down, the eight-foot-tall man's eyes were filled with tears.
Xiao Yu's voice was extremely sad, "First, carry the father back to the Qianqing Palace, change clothes and prepare for burial."
He looked deeply at the commander of the imperial guards, "Commander Yun, tell the imperial guards to keep an eye on the palace and don't make a mess."
"Also pass on my order, from now on, martial law will be imposed in the capital."
Commander Yun hesitated for only a moment, then bowed his head respectfully, "I obey your order."
Xiao Yu then glanced at Zhang Jieyu on the ground and ordered, "Take her to Yuntang Palace and deal with her after the father's funeral is over."
Yuntang Palace is a very remote palace that has been in disrepair for many years. Generally, concubines who have made mistakes will be moved there to live.
That is the legendary cold palace.
Zhang Jieyu trembled all over and kowtowed on the ground, "Prince, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in poor health and doesn't care about my concubine's affairs. I beg the prince to have mercy."
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yu with tears in her eyes.
There seemed to be thousands of sorrows and resentments in her eyes, mixed with some coquettishness that she wanted to say but couldn't.
Zhang Jieyu knew that the emperor died in her bed, and she would not be able to get away with it.
At present, the prince was the one who could dominate her life and death. She had no other choice but to use her advantage of beauty.
The commander of the imperial guards was about to go out, and his expression changed slightly when he saw Zhang Jieyu's behavior.
The queen also saw it, but it was difficult to say anything. She stared at Zhang Jieyu, wishing to tear her face apart.
The emperor's body was not cold yet, and this bitch dared to seduce her second son!
Gu Fei just looked at it coldly. She still had some confidence in Xiao Yu.
Even if it wasn't Xiao Yu, as long as he was a normal person, he would not be tempted by beauty at this time.
Sure enough, Xiao Yu glanced at Zhang Jieyu coldly and signaled to the eunuch, "Stop her mouth, drag her out quickly, what are you waiting for!"
Zhang Jieyu's mouth was quickly blocked by the eunuch and she was dragged out.
The emperor's body was also carried back to the Qianqing Palace.
Gu Fei first went back to the East Palace and told Lian'er, Nanny Qin and Shu'er to take good care of Xiao Chi, then called Yun'er and Qi'er and whispered a few instructions to them.
Then she took a few maids to the Qianqing Palace.
