At this moment, in the side hall of Chengqian Palace, Prince Gong and Prince Jing were kneeling in front of the soul and burning paper.
Prince Jing glanced at the absent-minded Prince Gong. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, but they were immediately lowered, and his face was once again filled with a look of sorrow.
Even if these people can't succeed today, he will have fewer opponents.
His favorite thing to do is to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight. There will definitely be a good show to watch later.
"Brother! It's almost time, why hasn't the second brother shown up yet? Today is a good day for the second brother to officially proclaim himself emperor. Although the enthronement ceremony has been postponed, we must pay attention to it!" Prince Jing looked at Prince Gong in confusion.
asked.
"I don't know, maybe we need to make preparations. Let's set off to the Hall of Supreme Harmony first!" Prince Gong's tone was calm, and his eyes looking at Prince Jing were a little more probing.
Just when the two of them were about to step out of the side hall, many guards came outside the hall, and the leader of them was Li Changan, the commander of the guards.
"Wait a minute!"
Prince Gong's eyes flickered, and his face suddenly darkened. Prince Jing frowned, but he shouted in his heart, "Here we come!"
"The two princes and the queen have sent you to Guangning Palace to discuss matters!" Li Changan saluted the two of them, then blocked the entrance of the palace and refused to give way.
"Commander Li, I wonder if the Queen wants us to report something to Guangning Palace?" Prince Jing frowned and looked at the tough-minded Li Chang'an, his face much darker than before.
"I don't understand this humble position. I would like to ask the two princes to move aside. Don't make it difficult for me to be humble!"
Li Chang'an asked the imperial guards behind him to move out of the way. More than fifty people stared at Prince Gong and the others eagerly, as if they would take action if they didn't go.
"Commander Li, what do you mean by this?" Prince Gong's face darkened, and his whole body became so powerful that even Prince Jing beside him felt a sense of oppression.
Prince Jing's eyes dimmed, Prince Gong was really something that no one dared to underestimate.
"Please!" Li Changan didn't bother to say anything more, just made a gesture, and then put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
This attitude is very clear. If I don't go, I'm afraid I won't be good.
Today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne, so the ministers are waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. At this time, in the side hall of Chengqian Palace, apart from them and the chamberlain, there are only a few monks left.
"Brother, since it is the Queen's decree, we will naturally go." Prince Jing glanced at Prince Gong, who looked solemn, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.
"That's fine!" Prince Gong nodded in agreement and took the lead.
Prince Gong was stunned for a moment and then smiled. He was actually more calm than he thought.
"The two princes will go ahead. I have to ask Master Wu to come because I am humble!" Li Changan raised the corners of his lips slightly and raised his chin, looking a little arrogant.
After ordering more than twenty people to surround the two, he stepped into the side hall.
This move was really rude to the two noble princes. No matter how calm Prince Jing was, his face darkened, but he still didn't say anything.
He snorted coldly in his heart, this person is really arrogant. They are princes, and Li Changan is just the commander of the Imperial Guard, yet he dares to look down on them.
Prince Jing felt unhappy and couldn't help walking faster. However, Li Changan's attitude was a bit intriguing, which indirectly meant that there must be nothing good going on here.
When Prince Gong heard that Li Changan wanted to go to invite Suiwu, he knew what the queen wanted to do. With a plan in mind, he quickened his pace.
"My son, please see the Queen!"
The queen watched the two people enter Guangning Palace. When they bowed and saluted, she immediately ordered people to tie them up.
"What is this? May I ask the queen, what does this mean?" Prince Gong felt the veins on his forehead beating. He looked at the courtiers standing beside him, his face full of shock.
The queen squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the two of them like a jackal or a tiger.
"You two don't need to panic. I have no intention of harming you. The prince disappeared for no reason today in the side hall of Chengqian Palace, and he has not been found yet. I would like to ask you, do you know the whereabouts of the prince?"
Prince Jing was shocked, "My son and my eldest brother have been keeping vigil for my father in Chengqian Palace. The chamberlains and maids present can all testify. How can we know the whereabouts of my second brother without leaving even half a step?"
"Besides, this is in the palace. How could the second brother disappear in the palace? Maybe he went somewhere else. I wonder if you have searched carefully?"
Prince Jing and Prince Gong endured the search by the chamberlain, their hearts filled with anger.
"You don't need to tell me that the palace is almost turned upside down, but there is no one in sight. Boss, I want to ask you, do you know where the prince is?"
The queen passed by Prince Jing who was pale with fright, and stared at Prince Gong who looked gloomy but remained silent.
"What the Queen said is interesting. My fourth brother also said just now that my son and my fourth brother have been in Chengqian Palace and have never left. Even if the Queen wants to be suspicious, she can't doubt us. And several masters are also here. We have a lot of witnesses in that place where scriptures are recited, so don’t put this shit on our heads.”
Prince Gong snorted coldly, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head and stopped looking at the Queen.
The queen suddenly smiled and said, "Boss, don't be so harsh. Your mother and concubine have missed you very much these past two years!"
"Come here, the thief who kidnapped the prince may be hiding in Concubine Jing's Jinghua Palace. Don't let the thief hurt Concubine Jing. Go search again!"
The queen sneered, everyone was in her hands, how dare you be so arrogant?
Today, the palace is full of officials from the prince's lineage, and even the ministers in the Palace of Supreme Harmony are already under her control. If these two people don't talk, she has many ways to make them talk.
"Why are you so aggressive, my empress? This matter was not done by my son and my fourth son. How can we hand over someone else?"
When Prince Gong saw the queen threatening him with his own mother-in-law, he couldn't help but become furious. This femme fatale woman is really hateful!
"Will you tell me or not? If you don't tell me, I will let you taste the punishment of Dali Temple."
Time has dragged on for too long, and the queen has become a little confused, so naturally she can no longer maintain the hypocrisy on her face.
"Is the Queen intending to surrender? But if the second brother is not in our hands, even if he beats us to death, we won't be able to hand him over."
King Jing was also a little angry at this moment. He wanted to imprison them in Dali Temple without any evidence and wanted to beat them into submission. It was simply ridiculous.
Even back then, when my father wanted to eradicate his own brothers, he still had to be famous! This queen acted so unscrupulously, she was really the most poisonous woman.
Prince Jing glanced at Prince Gong and saw that Prince Gong's face was full of indignation, but he didn't make any move. He couldn't help but feel very confused. Could it be that he had made a mistake?
"Amitabha!"
When Prince Gong and the others heard these Buddhist words, they quickly looked back. Zhuowu walked in front with a calm look on his face, his steps were slow and there was no trace of nervousness.
Li Changan walked behind him, followed by a large group of imperial guards.
"Why are third brothers here?" Prince Jing's tone was full of doubts, and then he turned to look at the queen.
"Third brother is now a monk and has long since ended his mortal relationship. What does this matter have to do with third brother?" Prince Jing's face was full of disapproval, and his tone was even more disdainful.
"Huh! I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Commander Li, please imprison these three people in Dali Temple first!" If it weren't for the lack of torture tools here, the queen would have wanted to give these three people a whip on the spot.
A stubborn duck has a tough mouth and will only speak out if he suffers a loss.
"yes!"
After Li Changan finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out his long sword and said to the imperial guards behind him: "I will surround all the people here, and no one can be released!"
