Time always passes by slowly, and no one can stop it.
In the blink of an eye, ten days later, Su Muer went to the palace every day to see how the emperor was doing. The emperor had not walked out of the Qianqing Palace in these ten days. For safety reasons, Su Muer arranged for Liu Ye to enter. The palace takes care of the emperor's daily life.
Therefore, no one in the entire harem knew the emperor's current situation, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive, or whether he was well.
The Changping Kingdom's army has already reached the border, and it is expected to reach the capital of the Eastern Jin Kingdom in three days.
The Sun family has been very busy these days. In addition to running to the harem, they also keep running to the outside of the palace.
No one knew what they were busy with, but Sun Mengmeng in the harem was a little anxious. She repeatedly tried to enter the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor, but was blocked by Liu Hai who was guarding the door day and night. She could not find out anything about the Qianqing Palace. .
As soon as the morning sun shone down, bad news came from the Qianqing Palace. The emperor had passed away due to poor health.
When the bad news came, all the concubines and ministers in the harem came to the gate of Qianqing Palace to express their condolences. The ones who were most happy to hear the news were Sun Mengmeng and the Sun family father and son.
When everyone knelt down in front of the Qianqing Palace to feel sad for the emperor's death, the Jade Emperor couldn't wait to put on the custom-made dragon robe for her son who was just a few months old.
When she appeared in front of everyone while sitting on a dragon chariot with her son in her arms, everyone was stunned.
Su Mu'er and Ye Shihan looked at her impatient look, their eyes full of pity.
Seeing his daughter and grandson coming, Master Sun couldn't help but stand up from the ground, waved his hands and shouted to everyone:
"Everyone, the emperor already had a decree before his death, passing the throne to Ye Yide, the little prince born to the Jade Emperor, and renaming it to the Eastern Chu Kingdom."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shihan snorted and asked,
"I wonder where this imperial edict from Grand Master Sun is? Where did it come from?"
Hearing his questioning, Sun Mengmeng was very displeased and sat on the dragon chariot and roared,
"Does Your Majesty doubt the late Emperor's handwriting? Come here, show the Emperor's last edict to everyone, otherwise don't think we are fooling people here."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone respectfully came to Ye Shihan with the imperial edict. Ye Shihan lifted up the imperial edict. The handwriting on it was indeed the emperor's, but it only stated that Ye Yide was to be crowned prince, and did not mention that he would be the crown prince. It's about him being crowned emperor.
"My lord, do you have anything else to say?"
"have."
Ye Shihan put away the imperial edict, "It only mentions that Ye Yide will be crowned prince, but it does not state that the throne will be passed to him."
Sun Mengmeng suddenly sneered, "Does this need to be said? The emperor only has this heir, is it possible that he still wants to pass the throne to someone else?"
Seeing her proud and aloof look, Su Muer asked,
"The Emperor has had no heirs for so many years, so he probably has to thank the Jade Princess for his gift."
Sun Mengmeng frowned and glared at her displeasedly,
"What do you mean by this? The emperor is not in love with me all day long. How can I affect the emperor's birth of heirs?"
Su Mu'er raised her eyebrows and looked at her with sharp eyes, which made Sun Mengmeng panic. She hurriedly turned her face to one side, trying her best not to look at her.
"I'm afraid the Jade Emperor didn't expect that there is no airtight wall in the world. All the datura in the medicine shop in the capital were bought by the girl Xin'er next to you. Why did you buy this?"
Hearing this, Sun Mengmeng's face turned pale. She calmed down her emotions and raised her head pretending to be relaxed.
"I like the floral fragrance of datura. Is this wrong? I'm afraid the princess is overly concerned."
Su Muer took out a datura flower from her sleeve and played with it in front of others, then said:
"Although the datura flower has ornamental value, its fragrance can cause hallucinations and even coma if smelled for a long time, until finally the person dies due to energy exhaustion."
"You're talking nonsense."
Sun Mengmeng immediately interrupted her, "It's nonsense."
Su Muer was not annoyed and continued:
"Am I talking nonsense? The Jade Emperor knows best. The emperor's incense has always been supplied by the Jade Emperor's Xianfu Palace. The reason why the emperor is unconscious is also because of the Jade Emperor's incense. What else can the Jade Emperor say?
?”
"I don't."
Sun Mengmeng suddenly became a little anxious. She bit her lips and looked at Su Muer. The fingers of her two hands dug deeply into her flesh. Her eyes were filled with hatred for Su Muer.
Su Muer smiled softly, and all the ministers present were stunned. They didn't know whether what these two people said was true or false. Grand Master Sun even raised his hand and pointed at her angrily.
"What did Wang Xiu mean when he said this when the emperor died? Did the princess want to slander the Jade Princess so that she would be charged with regicide? Then let Prince Yide be stigmatized before he ascended the throne, and then
Let the prince take the throne instead?"
Grand Master Sun pointed his hand directly at Su Mu'er. He was not afraid. The people from Changping Kingdom were already on the border and would soon surround the entire capital. Even if the emperor did not die, he would no longer be able to hold the throne.
Even if Ye Shihan is very powerful, it is difficult to withstand the enemy's thousands of troops, not to mention that he has bribed most of the people in the military camp, and the remaining few who are willing to work hard for the court will inevitably die in the end.
However, Su Muer ignored Grand Master Sun and continued to say to Sun Mengmeng:
"You also used datura flowers to poison Princess Pingyang, causing her to miscarry and die. You are really despicable."
"You're talking nonsense. Datura won't cause miscarriage. That's oleander."
As soon as she said these words, Master Sun roared angrily,
"Shut up."
Sun Mengmeng also realized that she had said something wrong, and she hurriedly covered her mouth, but how could it be so easy to take back what she said in public?
Some people in the crowd began to boo,
"So it turns out that Princess Pingyang was killed by the Jade Emperor?"
"The method is really clever, and even let a girl take the blame."
"Yeah, I really didn't realize that the Jade Emperor was such a vicious person."
"..."
"Shut up, everyone."
Sun Mengmeng suddenly raised her hands and shouted, "So what? Now that you mentioned it, I have no reason not to admit it. She deserves to die. She seduced the emperor and lingered in her palace all day long. She
If you don't die, why would the emperor want to continue his incense?"
Ye Shihan suddenly pointed his finger at her and became furious,
"Sun Mengmeng, do you know your guilt?"
"Bold."
Seeing that he was calling his daughter by her first name, Grand Master Sun took two steps forward and yelled at him, "Did you call the Jade Princess by her name casually? And she will soon be the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Chu Kingdom. You all must kowtow to her."
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in Qianqing Palace suddenly shouted coldly:
"I'm still here, where did the Queen Mother come from to tell me?"
Everyone turned around and saw the emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, appearing cheerfully in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned, and Sun Mengmeng and Sun Taishi hurriedly knelt down at a loss.
The emperor looked at Sun Mengmeng with a cold expression and said in a cold voice:
"Bold Sun Mengmeng, you actually dare to harm the imperial concubine and kill the emperor. It is really a heinous crime."
"Your Majesty, I have no concubine. She was the one who wronged me."
"You still dare to say that you are unjust? Do you think I am deaf? I heard the conversation you just had clearly. Do you know that because of your jealousy and killing of Princess Pingyang, the two countries have been at war, and that Changping country made
The plague almost wiped out my country in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. You not only deserve to die, you literally deserve to die ten thousand times."
Sun Mengmeng's face suddenly turned pale. Grand Master Sun, who had just recovered, hurriedly asked for mercy.
"Please, the emperor, please forgive her for the sake of Mengmeng giving birth to a dragon son for the emperor, please?"
The emperor's sharp eyes suddenly turned to Master Sun, "Master Sun is an enemy of Tongchang Ping Kingdom, and even secretly connived at your granddaughter's regicide. His crime should be punished, whoever comes."
He gave Master Sun a serious look. He had known about his ambition, but because he was Sun Mengmeng's family member, he had always turned a blind eye. However, he did not want to repent, and even went too far. It was simply too concessionary.
People are angry.
Several imperial guards came forward, "Here."
"Sun Mengmeng committed such a heinous evil and his crime is unforgivable. Now everyone in the Sun family will be executed. Anyone who pleads for mercy will be punished with the same crime."
"emperor……"
Sun Mengmeng's sad voice came, "Your Majesty, please spare me, I know I was wrong."
Grand Master Sun also collapsed to the ground immediately, while Sun Chao knelt down blankly, not knowing why.
The evil deeds Sun Mengmeng did five years ago were finally exposed to the world.
When the people of Changping heard the news, they were even more angry.
Taishi Sun was loyal and benevolent to the Changping Kingdom in private, but he allowed his granddaughter to commit such a heinous crime. It was simply an unforgivable crime. However, in the end, the Eastern Jin Dynasty executed the entire Sun family and the people from the Changping Kingdom turned back when they were about to arrive in the capital.
go back.
No one knows the specific reason. There are rumors that the people of Changping Kingdom may have heard about the powerful cannonballs on the walls of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and retreated in fear. Some people also rumored that the people of Changping Kingdom had heard about the powerful cannonballs on the city walls of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and retreated.
The emperor of the country had already avenged Princess Pingyang of the Changping Kingdom, so he retreated.
In short, a war broke out because everyone in the Sun family was slaughtered.
Everything returned to calm. Ye Shihan held Su Muer's hand and stood on the city wall. He had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
Looking at this familiar land, Su Muer sighed softly.
"This is finally over."
Ye Shihan also sighed:
"Yes, we can finally live a comfortable life for a few days."
Having said this, he turned to look at her, his eyes full of affection,
"Mu'er, I've thought about it. After what happened this time, the emperor has grown up. We might as well leave here."
Su Muer smiled helplessly, "It's easy to leave, but how can we let go of the burden behind us so easily?"
The moment she spoke, she looked into the distance, "Doudou will not leave the military camp. He wants to serve the imperial court. Can we let him go? And the emperor, although he already has his own thoughts, will he allow you to resign?"
Her words made Ye Shihan smile helplessly, "I know, I just thought about it. Madam, can't you allow me to relax for a while?"
