After the words fell, there was a long silence in the room.
The queen and Prince Zhen'an looked at Qiao Jinhuan with indescribable suspicion and subtlety.
"So……"
For a long time, Prince Zhenan and the Queen looked at each other before asking, "Who are you?"
One of them is Gu Changsheng's biological uncle, and the other is Gu Changsheng's biological mother. They know Gu Changsheng's temper quite well. How could someone who is unwilling to even kill the emperor think of using the emperor's hands to kill other princes?
?
What's more, the matter of suspended animation is of great importance. How could he just do it on his own without even consulting with them?
And how did Qiao Jinhuan, who suddenly appeared, know that the emperor wanted to get rid of Gu Changsheng, and could he exchange the medicine?
Everything was so weird that they couldn't help but be cautious!
Seeing their expressions, Qiao Jinhuan couldn't help but admire in his heart - they could still remain rational in such a situation, which shows that they are all immortal teammates with brains.
"I am the Emperor's backbone."
Following Qiao Jinhuan's words, the eyes of Prince Zhenan and the Queen instantly became sharp, with a faint hint of murderous intent.
Qiao Jinhuan turned a blind eye to this, and then said, "Don't be careful about me. If I had other intentions, I wouldn't show up here. The emperor ordered me to assassinate the empress today. I advised the emperor to do it slowly and save the empress' life first."
Are these words... credible?
The Queen sneered, "He is really cruel. He killed his brother, his wife, and his son. If word spreads, he will be infamy in the history books for thousands of years."
Prince Zhen'an's eyes flashed slightly, "Why do you want to help us?"
"Yu Gong, the emperor is fatuous and suspicious, and frequently suspects and suppresses heroes. Sooner or later, the country will be in his hands," Qiao Jinhuan said, a faint blush suddenly appeared on his cold white cheeks, "Yu Si, Your Highness is gentle and elegant..."
She did not continue.
But her performance was very obvious.
She, the emperor's secret thorn, had been lurking around Gu Changsheng for several years. She was fascinated by his princely style and was willing to turn against him.
Tsk~
The queen's eyes were a bit speechless, and she suddenly thought of how more than ten years ago, she fell in love with the emperor, so she went home to persuade her parents to accompany him in rebellion, but she ended up in a trap.
Really hateful!
At that moment, she felt some sympathy for Qiao Jinhuan in front of her, and she believed her words.
"So you haven't discussed this matter with Chang Sheng?" the queen asked in a slightly gentle tone.
Qiao Jinhuan shook his head slightly, "You and I both know His Highness's temper. If we discuss it with him, he will definitely refuse. It's better to take this opportunity and let us get things done first, and then..."
Qiao Jinhuan raised his eyes and stared at the Queen, his tone was extremely firm, "I will surround His Highness to ascend the throne again. Once the yellow robe is added to the body, how can His Highness refuse?"
Hiss~
Makes sense!
Prince Zhen'an slapped his thigh, "His grandma should have done this a long time ago!"
The queen glared at him lightly, but there was some approval in her eyes, and then asked, "Then what good plan do you have?"
"When His Highness is buried, we will dig him out and place him in a courtyard first. The Queen can pretend to be sick in the palace. Prince Zhen'an often hangs out with Prince Xuan. He is timid and easy to control. You choose
Support him and the emperor will not doubt..."
Qiao Jinhuan half-leaned against the pillar and laid out her plan.
Very simple.
In the matter of rebellion, we cannot rely on her people alone. We must have the cooperation of Prince Zhen'an.
Otherwise, who would challenge the emperor? Who would muddy the waters in the court? How could she unseat the emperor without causing trouble?
Prince Zhenan and the Queen nodded repeatedly and added something from time to time.
After the discussion was almost complete, Prince Zhenan suddenly thought of a question, "The coffin for His Highness's burial must be placed in the imperial mausoleum. Who can go in and bring His Highness out?"
"Shadow Guard!"
Qiao Jinhuan curled her lips slightly, which was why she had to say that she would surrender to her last night.
Shadow guards practice hiding skills and master-protecting skills. It is not easy to pry a coffin into stealing someone. Of course, in terms of hiding skills, shadow guards are also good at hiding, but what shadow guards are better at is assassination and rescuing people?
Pull it down.
Not to mention whether she could get that stupid and loyal guy An to join the team and let him rescue people, she was really afraid that Gu Changsheng would die in his hands.
After several people discussed it, Qiao Jinhuan left the Prince's Mansion and went to find a pharmacy to prepare the antidote.
In the Prince's Mansion, Prince Zhen'an and the Queen looked at each other and started throwing teacups and quarreling with a tacit understanding.
It was so noisy that it was fierce.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice who was conducting the autopsy next to him was so frightened that he rushed over to dissuade him.
Then Prince Zhen'an snorted coldly, left the Prince's Mansion angrily and went to find Prince Xuan.
The queen stumbled and hugged Gu Changsheng and began to cry, "Son, who were you harmed by? What will you do if your mother dies? Your uncle, that heartless thing, just refused to settle down after you left..."
Crying, she fainted again. After being rescued by the accompanying imperial doctor and waking up, she shouted that she wanted Gu Changsheng to be buried.
The Minister of Punishment was beside him, his heart and liver were trembling, and he kept whispering to dissuade him.
The Queen refused to listen and refused to let the Minister of Punishment perform another autopsy. Then she pointed at the Minister of Punishment's nose and cursed like a madman.
This news soon reached the emperor's ears.
In the palace where no one else was around, the emperor looked at the passed note and laughed with his hands in his hands, so many wrinkles appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Good, good!
Now the people who control him are almost gone, and if he waits a little longer, he will be able to take full control of the power. From then on, there will be only one emperor in the banquet, and only one person who can call the shots, and that is - him!
"Come here, give the queen an order. She can do whatever she wants with the prince's funeral. I will grant her permission for once."
After a while, the emperor suppressed his smile, sighed in a low voice and called someone to deliver the order.
To be honest, he also wanted the prince to be buried early so as not to be an eyesore. Moreover, it would be difficult to explain if the Minister of Punishment found out something.
After the people left, he asked someone to bring wine and got extremely drunk until the night became dark.
The people who were waiting in the palace all thought that he was grieving for the loss of his son and was drinking to drown his sorrows. The father-in-laws who were waiting nearby were also worried that he would drink too much, so they cautiously advised him in a low voice.
Not many people know that he drinks because he feels happy and happy!
Power~
The throne~
What a beautiful thing.
These things can only be in his hands and can only be used by him. But half of them were divided by Gu Changsheng before. After that, Gu Changsheng was no longer his son, but his enemy.
What's so sad about the death of an enemy? It should only come to light.
As for sons... he may have more sons, one more is not too much, one less is not too many, it doesn't matter.
He was drunk here, but he didn't know that at this time, there was an undercurrent surging in the palace, and arrows were ready to be fired.
