In Chuhui Palace, the doors to the side halls were closed tightly, with dozens of guards guarding the entrances, and no one was allowed to enter.
What happened in the harem today is really shocking. Such a major event of regicide and rebellion involves Concubine Tang Hui, Prince Duan and His Majesty. What Prince Huai asked in the palace must be the most secretive matter of the royal family, except for the royal family.
, if others hear these secrets, they will definitely be killed.
However, no one knew that in this side hall, two figures were sitting side by side. The murderer of His Majesty, the palace maid Zi Zhu, was tilting her head and resting her head on King Huai's shoulder.
Just like more than ten years ago.
It’s just that their positions were reversed at that time. At that time, one of them was a helpless little palace maid who had just entered the palace, and the other was a marginal prince who had lost his mother and concubine and was often bullied. Because of similar fate, they became friends.
A friendship that seems incredible in the eyes of others.
Zi Zhu turned her head and looked at King Huai and said, "Your Highness should take good care of yourself from now on."
King Huai smiled and said, "I still want Sister Zizhu to take care of me. The servants in the palace are all very careless and can't do some simple things well."
A smile appeared on Zi Zhu's face, but she didn't speak again.
But the smile on King Huai's face gradually disappeared, his expression became serious, and he said: "Promise me not to do anything stupid."
Zi Zhu smiled and said, "If I die, they will never be able to find His Highness again."
King Huai said: "If you die, I will not avenge you."
Zi Zhu's complexion suddenly changed and she hurriedly said: "How is this possible? This is what you have been doing since you were a child."
King Huai looked at her and asked, "If the prerequisite for revenge is your death, what's the difference between him and me?"
Zi Zhu lowered her head and remained silent.
King Huai patted her on the shoulder and said, "Be good and be obedient. I will rescue you soon."
The entrance to the side hall.
Seeing King Huai coming out, the guard general immediately bowed and said: "Your Highness."
King Huai glanced at him and said: "She is the most important witness in this case. Watch her carefully and don't let her commit suicide. If anything happens to her, I, the King, will be inseparable from all of you."
The leader trembled and immediately said: "Your Highness, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely take good care of her!"
King Huai left Chu Hui Palace and came to Yang Temple. He saw Wei Jian standing outside the palace and asked, "Is your father awake?"
Wei Jian said: "Go back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has just woken up."
King Huai said: "The palace maid Zi Zhu has confessed everything, and I want to report it to my father."
Wei Jian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty said, please keep the king alive. All other matters can be discussed with Mr. Tang, and there is no need to report to Your Majesty."
He sighed and said: "Your Majesty does not want to hear any more news about this case."
King Huai glanced at the closed door of Yangshen Temple and said, "I understand."
…
Tang Mansion.
Tang Ning had returned home. Zhong Yi and others finally felt relieved when they saw that he had returned safely. Only Su Mei saw a strange expression on his face and came to the study and asked, "What happened?"
Tang Ning said: "Concubine Tang Hui has admitted to poisoning His Majesty. The palace is now blocking the news. Tomorrow at the latest, Prince Duan, the Tang family and other people involved in this matter will be arrested."
Su Mei looked at him in surprise and asked, "Isn't this good news?"
"The fourth elder said that Anshenxiang is not common even in Guizhou. She didn't prepare much of it at the beginning. It is impossible for anyone except the top ten elders to have it." Tang Ning shook her head and murmured: "In this way,
How did the Tang family and Concubine Tang Hui get it?"
Su Mei looked at him and asked, "Do you suspect that the person standing behind the Tang family is my master?"
Tang Ning said: "She is the only one who can do this and is in the capital."
Su Mei shook her head and said, "I can confirm that my master has no connection with the Tang family and Prince Duan."
Tangning's face became even more suspicious, and she asked in confusion, "Who could it be?"
This case was handled by Prince Huai himself, and there should be no omissions in the details. Tangning would only need to check the case file to know the source of Anshenxiang.
This incident happened suddenly. In order not to alert others, Tang Ning and King Huai blocked the news about the harem. King Duan and the Tang family did not know that their conspiracy had been exposed.
Prince Duan's life can be considered to be rich and colorful, with ups and downs. After experiencing several ups and downs, he finally received an imperial edict from the crown prince.
However, tonight is also his last night of pride. Tomorrow morning, he will face the cruel reality that he never wants to face in his life.
In Prince Duan's Mansion.
Even though Prince Duan was chased by Right Minister Tang Ning today like a lost dog and lost face in front of everyone, today is still a day of great joy for Prince Duan's Mansion and the Tang family.
Your Majesty's edict to confer the crown prince has been issued, and the canonization ceremony will be held in three days. Once the ceremony is over, King Duan will be able to set foot in the East Palace, enter the court, and become the true master of the Chen Kingdom.
By then, all his enemies will be buried by the power in his hands.
In Prince Duan's Mansion, all the guests during the day had dispersed, but the two brothers Tang Qi and Tang Huai stayed behind.
Tang Qi said: "Earlier, Concubine Hui sent news that because of Tang Ning's beating of King Duan, His Majesty has made up his mind to expel him from the Chen Kingdom and will not be allowed to set foot in the capital in this life."
His Majesty's decision was not beyond their expectations.
One is the prime minister and the other is the new king. Which one should you give up? Will your majesty have a second choice?
However, His Majesty did not keep him in the capital forever to avoid future troubles, but expelled him, which was somewhat beyond Tang Qi's expectations.
With His Majesty's decisive and decisive temperament, the fact that he can make such a decision shows that Tangning's status in his heart is indeed beyond the comparison of others like them.
Tang Huai had a strange look on his face and said, "Your Majesty is still kind."
King Duan lay on the bed, with a look of resentment on his face, and said: "Father, spare his life, I want him to die!"
Tang Qi looked at him and said, "Tang Ning is no longer a match for His Highness. Once His Highness secures his position as Crown Prince and leaves the capital, His Highness can do whatever he wants."
"I can't wait that long anymore!" King Duan said with murderous intent on his face: "I can't wait even a moment, I want him to die now!"
The humiliation he suffered today in Prince Duan's Mansion was engraved deeply in his heart like a knife carving, and it has become an insurmountable knot for him.
The dignified prince and future emperor was actually beaten until he became incontinent in front of everyone. This will be a stain on his body that will never be washed away. Unless Tang Ning dies, the resentment in his heart will never be extinguished.
Tang Huai looked at him and said: "Your Highness, a little impatience will ruin a big plan. You might as well wait a little longer..."
"I said, I can't wait even a day!" King Duan's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, he tightly grasped the quilt under him, and said: "Father has given up on him, what else should I endure?
?”
Seeing that King Duan had completely lost his mind, Tang Huai opened his mouth and swallowed back the words of advice he was about to say.
Tang Qi's eyes flashed and he said: "What Your Highness said is not unreasonable. His actions today are already known to everyone in the capital. If His Highness just lets him go, even if he takes the position of prince and becomes emperor, he will
If he is looked down upon by others, it is better to use him to establish authority and serve as a deterrent to others, letting them know the fate of those who insult His Highness!"
Tang Qi's words touched Prince Duan's heart, and he showed a trace of bloodthirsty on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle is right. Call Xu Wei in. Tonight, I will make the blood debt of that man named Tang repay with blood!"
Xu Wei is the guard leader of Prince Duan's Mansion. He commands five hundred guards. Five hundred guards is the limit of the private army that a prince can have.
Tang Qi looked at Tang Huai's worried look and said, "Brother, His Majesty has made his stance clear. What else do you have to worry about? Could it be that His Majesty can deprive His Majesty of the title of Crown Prince just because His Majesty killed Tang Ning?"
"That's not true." Tang Huai shook his head. How could His Majesty punish a country's crown prince severely for abandoning his son? He looked towards the direction of the palace and whispered: "But I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy."
