Chapter 174 Chaos
No one dared to come forward to persuade him, mainly because Emperor Yuheng cried so badly. The big man hugged Concubine Liu and cried bitterly, regardless of how many courtiers and families were watching him below, and he cried so much that he was forgetful.
Later, when King Xin'an arrived, he saw this scene and couldn't stop falling apart. He knelt at the feet of Concubine Liu and cried with Princess Xuancheng.
The crying of the father and daughter in the back mountain of Waguan Temple was immediately heard, and it was so miserable.
The ladies and ladies all knelt all over the ground, with shallow eyelids, and they wiped their tears at that time.
Xiao Baoxin was confused by this tragic and desolate scene.
According to Xiao Jingai, Concubine Liu should not have died at this time. She tried hard to recall that it should have been one or two years later. Emperor Yuheng was sad about Concubine Liu's death and died two years later. After that, the crown prince succeeded to the throne...
By this calculation, the entire timeline is in chaos.
How could Concubine Liu die at this time?
"Why did my mother die? Blood bleeds in seven orifices. This is not a normal death. Someone must have harmed my mother!" King Xin'an wiped away his tears and looked at Emperor Yuheng who was only caring about Concubine Liu's body.
No one expected that the thirteen-year-old King Xin'an came to his senses and said to Concubine Liu.
"Father, you must seek justice for your mother!"
Princess Xuancheng only came back to her smell and looked at her brother in a twitch. In her sight, she saw the prince coming from behind Xin'an, panting, with a gloomy face. He called out to the sixth brother, then shook his eyes behind her and silenced.
She subconsciously looked back and saw Queen Wang stopping the prince with her eyes.
"Who... killed my mother?"
Queen Mother Pan endured it, but she didn't correct the name of the brother and sister.
Only when a wife can she call her mother, but Concubine Liu is obviously not qualified, but when the person is dead, she no longer gets entangled in this area. She makes her son feel disgusted by the ground.
Just to say who killed Concubine Liu, even Empress Dowager Pan couldn't help but think too much. Just Concubine Liu's way of death would not be a normal death.
Everyone from all over the world was paying attention to Emperor Yuheng, but he was the only one who was still immersed in it and could not extricate himself.
"Dad!" King Xin'an knocked on the ground with his head, and banged a few times, and blood was seen on his head. "Please be fair to my mother!"
Princess Xuancheng was so scared that she lost her mind, but she knew that she felt sorry for her brother, so she crawled over to Emperor Yuheng, her tears were like beads with broken threads:
"Dad, dad, stop crying... If you tell my brother not to kowtow again, he will be bleeding... Dad, my mother is gone, I can't lose my brother anymore."
It was so pitiful that I could hardly continue to speak.
Queen Mother Pan also felt sorry for her son, "Son, don't just hold Liu, you have to make an idea about this."
Emperor Yuheng ignored it and cried a little less for a while. He wiped his tears and looked at his favorite children. His most beloved concubines were in his arms. His heart was like a knife, and he didn't stop at all.
But he is not stupid. This matter is not simple. How can he not know?
"Queen," he looked up, his voice shocked the audience, "What the hell is going on? Why did the imperial concubine... die tragically?"
It was not just a tragic death, it was simply terrible. The blood was bleeding from the seven orifices and the face was blue and purple. This made the death of Concubine Liu, who loved beauty as much as her life, not only her. He, the emperor, witnessed all this with his own eyes, even more miserable and painful.
With just this glance, Queen Wang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, knowing that the emperor was suspicious of her.
If it were said that Emperor Yuheng had always been very suspicious, he would almost have killed all the princes, brothers and uncles who made him suspicious.
Even if Emperor Yuheng favors Concubine Liu and has many concubines like dogs in the harem, he still respects her as a queen.
But the death of Concubine Liu seemed to break the balance between the emperor and the empress, which made Emperor Yuheng suddenly feel suspicious. This is not a good sign.
"... Back to the emperor, everyone ate chrysanthemum cakes made in the imperial kitchen in the palace, but Concubine Liu didn't like it and didn't eat it. They ate it by the palace maids around her. After half of it..." Queen Wang pointed out.
Before waiting for the fire of Emperor Yuheng, the palace maid pointed out by Queen Wang knelt on the ground, her body shaking like a sieve.
Before the palace maid could speak, King Xin'an could no longer bear it. His body shook twice and his face pale: "No, no, no, no-"
Before he could finish his words, Princess Xuancheng shouted: "It cannot be the reason for that cake, Dad! No, it must be for another reason."
"That cake," King Xin'an clenched his fists tightly, "I brought it to the palace for my mother to eat..."
Emperor Yuheng looked at Wei Desheng: "Call King Huaiyang to come over and check what's going on. Check all the foods you use. All the participants will ask for details." Can he not know what kind of virtue his son is? Concubine Liu likes to eat, so he brought it to the palace, not once or twice, and always says he doesn't listen. This time...
Wei Desheng just obeyed orders and did not comply with the rules. He turned around and ordered someone to invite the King of Huaiyang.
Queen Wang had to bite the bullet and step forward. This should be the responsibility of the queen, the maid of the harem, but the emperor just passed her and suspected that her intention was on the table. She should not force her forward, but as the queen, she had to do what she should do.
"The emperor, all the foreign ministers and families present were all foreign ministers. It was inappropriate to ask the King of Huaiyang to bring people to investigate."
Emperor Yuheng's eyes were as cold as ice, and he wanted to stare at someone to die: "Can Lishu find out the murderer who poisoned Concubine Liu? Queen, retreat."
"Father, the queen's words are all right." At this time, the prince did not care about Queen Wang's warning eyes and stood up and said, "Even if the female officials in the palace are not allowed to verify, it shouldn't be the emperor's uncle who brought a group of foreign men to investigate. How can the ministers be faced with the ministers? Besides, not only the wives and elders of each prefecture, but many other wives."
Emperor Yuheng: "What does the prince mean? People die in vain?"
The prince choked, would you not die in vain if you were turned upside down? All deaths were dead.
"Didn't the sixth brother say that the cake was the food he brought into the palace? Why don't you check if the cake is poisonous first? If not, you naturally have to check the food in the palace. If it is because of the cake, there is no need to search it."
Empress Dowager Pan also stepped forward and said, "The prince's words are reasonable. If it is really a matter of bread, why bother to get the minister's wife and daughter in it? If you do this, those ministers will not be able to rebel against God in the future."
"Hurry up, Imperial Doctor, check the cake first - Concubine Liu has only eaten half of it and hasn't finished it yet. Please check if the cake is poisonous."
Everyone was busy, and no one noticed that King Xin'an's lip had blood bleed. Only Princess Xuancheng crawled in front of him and held his hand tightly and cried:
"Brother, it's not your fault, it's definitely not yours."
