Chapter 532: Ask the Prince to Die
Emperor Xuan hated the Yueying Army.
Hearing these three words, he was shocked at first, and then filled with endless anger.
"What did you say?"
Pan Yucheng could naturally hear the storm in Emperor Xuan's voice. He trembled and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Yueying Army revived and wanted to attack the Ninth Princess, but was killed by Ning Chen."
"How is it related to Huai'an again?"
Pan Yucheng told the story in detail!
Emperor Xuan was furious and threw the memorial in his hand fiercely on the dragon table.
Eunuch Quan and Pan Yucheng were so scared that they fell to their knees.
"The Yueying Army has disappeared for more than ten years. I thought they had been eradicated, but I didn't expect them to revive now?"
"Pan Yucheng, are you sure it's the Yueying Army?"
Pan Yucheng said, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen the Yueying Army, but according to Ning Chen's description, they are holding the Zanyin Knife and have tattoos on the inside of their wrists. They must be the Yueying Army."
Emperor Xuan's face was livid. Although he was an emperor, he was not bloodthirsty and was always tolerant of the people and officials.
But when it came to the Yueying Army, he became murderous.
"I thought the Yueying Army had been completely destroyed, but I didn't expect that the centipede was still alive."
"Quansheng, immediately summon Geng Jing to the palace to see the emperor."
......
Eastern Palace.
The imperial physician had just changed the medicine on the prince's ankle.
The prince was pale with pain.
He was originally slightly injured, but Ning Chen stepped on him and caused him to be seriously injured.
The imperial physician just said that he would not be healed for two or three months.
He leaned against the head of the bed with a letter in his hand.
This letter suddenly appeared at his bedside. He had just interrogated the maids and guards around him, but no one knew where this letter came from?
There was a bloody crescent moon and a knife on the letter.
There was also a sentence on it: Please die, prince!
He knew who sent this letter?
It was Ning Chen.
He had just told Ning Chen that he wanted to die.
But what did the crescent moon and knife mean? He couldn't understand and guess.
What frightened him the most was that this was the East Palace, with tight defenses, and this letter appeared at his bedside.
Doesn't this mean that it would be easy for Ning Chen to take his head?
The prince's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Greetings, the Imperial Concubine!"
The maids and guards in the courtyard outside the courtyard knelt on the ground.
The Imperial Concubine De, wearing dark green clothes and wearing complicated gold ornaments on her head, walked in.
"You can leave!"
"Yes!"
After dismissing the people around her, Imperial Concubine De walked over and sat down on the chair with a gloomy face.
The prince leaned against the bedside, looking at Concubine De, frowning slightly, "Who offended mother again?"
The former queen was sentenced to death, and Emperor Xuan did not appoint another queen.
The original Concubine De was named Imperial Concubine because of her son, and now she is the only one in the harem.
Concubine De turned her head and looked at the prince, "How is your injury?"
"Thank you for your concern, mother, it's okay!"
"But you look very bad, you don't look okay."
The prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, I received a letter... The letter said, please die!"
Concubine De's eyes shrank, "Is it a letter sent by Ning Chen?"
The prince nodded, "The letter should be written by Ning Chen, but it was not sent by him... When I woke up in the morning, this letter appeared at the head of my bed."
Concubine De was shocked.
"It seems that Ning Chen's power is not only in the army, but also in this palace."
"The people in the East Palace are unreliable and must be replaced as soon as possible."
The prince nodded, "That's what I mean!"
The noble concubine De said in a deep voice: "Ning Chen is so bold that he dared to write a letter to threaten you... This letter should be presented to your father, so that he can see how unscrupulous Ning Chen is."
The prince nodded slightly, "I intend to present it to my father, but in addition to this sentence, there is also a blood moon and a knife on this letter. I can't guess what it means?"
"Blood moon and knife?" The noble concubine De was shocked, "Where is the letter?"
The prince handed the letter over.
The noble concubine De took it and looked at it, her face gloomy.
"Does mother know what this means?"
Just as the noble concubine De was about to speak, her personal eunuch walked in with his head down and his waist bent, hesitating to speak.
The noble concubine De walked to the door and lowered her voice: "What's the matter?"
The old eunuch whispered a few words.
The noble concubine De looked as ugly as if her parents had died.
"I understand. Please wait at the door first. No one is allowed to approach without my order."
"Yes!"
Noble Concubine De returned to the bedside and tore the letter in her hand into pieces.
The prince was shocked, "Mother, what are you doing?"
"Your father cannot see this letter. Don't tell anyone about this, or you will be killed."
"Ning Chen has already suspected you, but you can't let your father suspect you again."
The prince was puzzled, "Mother, what's going on?"
The expression of Concubine De was gloomy, "Yesterday afternoon, I got the news that Huai'an secretly left the palace to find Ning Chen. I sent people to assassinate her, but failed. Those people were slaughtered by Ning Chen instead."
The prince was stunned, "Mother, you...how could you send people to assassinate Huai'an? She is a princess, my sister."
Concubine De snorted coldly, "As a prince, how can you be so soft-hearted? Huai'an is deeply loved by your father. She secretly went to find Ning Chen and died on the way. Your father will be furious. He thinks that Ning Chen killed Huai'an and will definitely vent his anger on Ning Chen."
"In short, Huai'an's death is a hundred benefits and no harm!"
"This group of trash, I have repeatedly told you that if you are not sure, you should retreat immediately... I didn't expect that it failed!"
"The injuries on their bodies were all caused by rebar. It seems to be Ning Chen's poison."
"Ning Chen is cautious when doing things. He used rebar on purpose to warn us."
The prince frowned, "It seems that Ning Chen suspected that this matter was done by my son, so he sent this letter."
Concubine De Gui said: "You and I are connected, mother and son, so what does it matter who did it?"
"If I knew that my mother-in-law wanted to assassinate Huai'an, I would never agree."
Concubine De Gui said solemnly: "A woman's kindness can hardly achieve great things!"
"Remember, don't mention this letter to anyone, especially the blood moon and knife on it."
The prince was full of curiosity, "Mother, concubine, what do the blood moon and the sword represent?"
Concubine De Gui lowered her voice and said solemnly: "It represents the Moon Shadow Army."
"Moon Shadow Army?"
"You were young and ignorant at the time, Moon Shadow Army...!"
Concubine De Gui told the story of the Moon Shadow Army!
After hearing this, the prince was stunned.
"Mother and concubine, as you said, my father hates the Moon Shadow Army deeply. Anyone who gets involved with the Moon Shadow Army will definitely die if my father finds out... How can you have anything to do with them?"
Concubine De Gui sneered: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters!"
"Back then, the late emperor ascended to the throne with the help of the Moon Shadow Army... Although the Moon Shadow Army is not as good as before, it is still terrifying."
"Although you have the title of Crown Prince, it does not mean that the throne is definitely yours... You just need to remember that the winner is the king or the loser. The world only looks at the results, no one cares about the process. If you want to ascend the throne, you have to play hard."
The prince looked at his mother-in-law with a crazy and ferocious expression, and felt a chill in his heart.
