Chapter 144: Shock in the Palace
The eighth prince and the twelfth prince are dead!
This news could not be concealed at all, and it almost swept through the entire palace like a hurricane.
As princes, although the eighth prince and the twelfth prince usually eat, drink and have fun, it is difficult for them to achieve great things, but they are princes after all.
To be killed in the palace was really shocking.
In an instant, the entire palace shook.
And all the concubines, eunuchs and maids also remembered one name deeply:
Your Majesty Ninth Prince!
He was once called a loser and suffered humiliation, but this time, he came back strong and killed the two princes.
For a time, the entire palace was in a state of disbelief.
Jingyang Palace.
The Eighth Prince's biological mother, Concubine Wen, lived here.
When she heard the bad news, she fainted.
After she woke up, she cried and made a fuss, constantly complaining, and immediately went to the Imperial Study Room where Emperor Wu was.
She knelt outside the royal study for a whole day and night, the cold winter snow drowning her, but she still kept pleading with His Majesty to bring the murderer to justice.
Yanxia Palace is the residence of the twelfth prince, Concubine Xia.
Concubine Xia was already weak and sickly, and when she heard the bad news this time, she couldn't even get sick.
However, a blood letter was delivered outside the imperial study room.
The dazzling scarlet blood book stands out in the white winter snow.
The whole blood letter has only one meaning.
I vowed to be buried with the Ninth Prince!
The actions of Concubine Wen and Concubine Xia once again added fuel to the fire.
Completely set this thing on fire.
A huge fire spread throughout the palace, everyone was in danger and terrified.
However, it was extremely quiet inside the Imperial Study Room.
Whether it was Concubine Wen who knelt down or Concubine Xia presented a letter in blood, Emperor Wu would not accept it.
Such an attitude confused everyone.
Your Majesty is trying to protect His Highness Ninth Prince?
But no one dares to talk about His Majesty.
finally.
In the imperial study room, a decree came out.
"No one can discuss this matter anymore!"
The emperor's order is heard by all.
For a moment, the entire palace no longer dared to discuss the matter, and all the gossip was wiped out.
When working in the palace, whether they are imperial guards, eunuchs, maids, or other concubines, they all know how to be cautious.
But this incident sent a signal to everyone.
That means His Majesty does not intend to pursue the matter.
In other words, I don't plan to pursue the matter now.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Qingyuan Palace.
Xiao Changfeng, who had not returned for three years, stirred up the situation in the palace as soon as he came back.
…
Fengyi Palace is the most noble place in the entire harem.
Because this is the residence of the Queen.
There is a phoenix coming to me, and my mother is merciful to the world. This is the queen.
At this time, Concubine Wen and Concubine Xia fell to their knees and were crying hoarsely.
"Empress, you must make the decision for us. My concubine Yun'er can't die in vain like this!"
Concubine Wen had a resolute temperament, and she kowtowed so hard that her forehead bled on the bluestone.
But she didn't care at all. Her beautiful eyes, filled with tears, looked closely at the Queen in front of her.
"My concubine, your Majesty's attitude is unclear this time. He is suspected of harboring the murderer. However, my concubine Mu'er died miserably. Her limbs were broken and she died. I don't want anything. I just ask my concubine to make the decision for us!"
Concubine Xia was in frail health, and even though she put on makeup, she still looked horribly pale.
She lay directly on the ground, humble to the extreme.
Although her body is frail, her heart is extremely determined.
I wish I could cut the murderer into pieces immediately.
Now His Majesty's attitude is ambiguous and he has issued an order. They are helpless and have no choice but to come looking for the Queen.
If His Majesty is the majestic golden dragon in the palace, then the Queen is the rich and gorgeous golden phoenix.
Now that His Majesty's path was blocked, they had no choice but to plead with the Queen.
"You two are both suffering. The ground is cold. Stop kneeling and get up!"
A voice that carried the unique majesty of a royal family without losing the gentleness of a woman sounded.
"Thank you for your gift!"
After hearing this, Concubine Wen and Concubine Xia both knew the Queen's temper, and immediately stood up respectfully, but still lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads.
The Queen is an extremely beautiful woman.
As he spoke, the red phoenix and golden steps on his head swayed not at all. Under the two curved eyebrows were a pair of eyes as black as ink, with no expression.
There was a hint of sadness on her delicate face, and she was wearing a red gold embroidered soft robe.
However, the Queen is indeed pregnant, and her belly is bulging, which is quite obvious.
At this moment, she was lying on a sandalwood nine-wood phoenix-carved rocking chair, with a well-dressed maid behind her rocking slightly.
"Although Yun'er and Mu'er were a bit naughty, they are still of my royal family's blood. I am also saddened by their passing."
The Queen stretched out her hand to take a plum, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.
A hint of sourness flowed down his throat and into his stomach before he continued to speak.
"However, His Majesty has already issued a decree on this matter, and I have the intention but the inability to do so."
The queen's voice sounded faintly, neither fast nor slow.
However, Concubine Wen and Concubine Xia reacted quickly.
"Empress, I only have one flesh and blood, Yun'er. Now that a white-haired person is sending a black-haired person, I feel so sad that I can't suppress it. I just hope that the Empress can uphold justice. From now on, I and my father must treat each other as my queen!"
"
Concubine Wen spoke sadly, the pain of losing her son made her willing to do anything.
Concubine Wen's father was the official minister of the dynasty. These words were a sign of loyalty to the empress.
Concubine Xia's father was also an important member of the party, and Concubine Xia immediately spoke quickly.
"I know that you are grieving for the loss of your son. Alas, this matter came from the harem after all. As the master of the harem, I have my fault of lax discipline. If I didn't express it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit on the throne of the queen for a long time.
!”
The Queen spoke softly, feeling sad and self-pitying.
"Forget it, since the two sisters are so determined, I will step in to deal with it. As for His Majesty, you don't have to worry, I will explain it myself!"
The Queen smiled sweetly, even in the coldest month of winter, she still gave people a bright and spring-like feeling.
"I heard that the Ninth Prince forced his way into the palace gate and now committed a major crime. It seems that he has recovered his martial arts skills. If he can lie dormant and gather strength to move, I may still look at him squarely.
"
"It's a pity that he is young and energetic and does not understand the principle that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
The empress stood up from the phoenix rocking chair and looked at the respectful Concubine Wen and Concubine Xia.
"Don't worry, two sisters, I will send the Demon Spirit Master to take action this time. The Ninth Prince will definitely not be able to escape!"
Just then the Demon Spirit Master reported that the Lu family also asked him to take action against Xiao Changfeng.
Kill two birds with one stone!
"Master of Demonic Spirits!"
Hearing the Queen's words, Concubine Wen and Concubine Xia suddenly raised their heads, showing surprise.
If the Demon Spirit Master takes action, they will indeed be able to feel at ease.
The Empress smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with brilliance.
"You go back first, he will definitely die tonight!"
