Xie Changning was a widow for over thirty years, pouring her heart and soul into raising all her children to become successful.
With a single imperial decree, the Xie family was condemned to ...
Chapter 232: Is he in conflict with the Heavenly Prison?
Your Majesty may be thinking of the past, or may be feeling sorry for it.
But Xie Changning knew that His Majesty would never let Concubine Qi and the Fourth Prince go.
As expected, His Majesty paused for a moment and then said, "Immediately throw them into the Heavenly Prison and await your punishment."
A smile flashed in Xie Changning's eyes.
After the words fell, His Majesty looked up at her and Xie Xuan, "The matter has been investigated. You two are innocent. You can leave now."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After the two men kowtowed to express their gratitude, they slowly left the hall.
Xie Changning clearly noticed that His Majesty was staring at the backs of her and her elder brother.
Rongyang's news came so timely, how could Your Majesty not have thought that this matter was related to them!
His Majesty stared at the backs of the two of them, narrowing his eyes slightly.
It's not just Concubine Qi and the Fourth Prince who deceive the emperor.
Xie Xuan must have known for a long time that the Fourth Prince had stockpiled private soldiers in Rongyang, but he did not report it to His Majesty at the first time.
As a subject, he has already overstepped his authority.
So, they deserve to die too!
There was murderous intent in His Majesty's eyes.
"Puff..." Thinking of the Fourth Prince and Concubine Qi, he could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his eyes went black.
In fact, he felt a little unwell just now, but he endured it.
How could he show weakness in front of his subjects?
Especially the Duke of Zhenguo.
Once he does this, who knows what the Duke of Zhenguo will think!
"Your Majesty..." everyone exclaimed.
Although the Fourth Prince was stabbed, fortunately his heart was not injured. The imperial physician was bandaging his wound.
After being treated by the imperial physician.
By now, he has woken up.
He knew nothing about what was happening in the palace.
Therefore, when Eunuch Wang came with his men to announce the decree, he smiled and said, "But has the emperor already punished the Duke of Zhenguo and Xie Changning? Please tell the emperor not to worry. When my injuries are better, I will come to the palace to pay my respects to the emperor."
The Fourth Prince paused, "As for Mother..."
Before he could finish his words, Eunuch Wang interrupted him, "Your Majesty has ordered that the Fourth Prince be thrown into the Heavenly Prison immediately."
The Fourth Prince looked shocked.
He was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses, "Eunuch Wang, what did you say?"
Eunuch Wang sneered, "What did the Fourth Prince do in Rongyang? I'm sure he knows it well. There's no need for me to waste my breath on it."
"To be honest, Fourth Prince, the eldest princess was given poisoned wine by His Majesty and has died from the poison!"
The Fourth Prince was filled with horror. He kept asking, "How could this happen?"
Shen Zhixu was also there at this moment, and he was even more shocked than the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince is clearly the ultimate winner!
It was for this reason that he chose to follow the Fourth Prince at all costs.
But how long has it been?
The fourth prince was thrown into the sky prison.
The crime he committed was still treason.
He was originally still feeling smug, but today was the day Xie Changning and the Duke of Zhenguo would die.
He is about to get his revenge!
Who will tell him how things turned out like this?
Could it be... that this is another trick played by Xie Changning and the Duke of Zhenguo?
"No, I want to see my father!" The fourth prince reacted and clamored to go to the palace to see the emperor.
"Your Highness may not have this opportunity anymore." Eunuch Wang raised his hand, and the imperial guards immediately rushed in and captured the fourth prince.
Eunuch Wang glanced at Shen Zhixu and several counselors, and immediately said, "Capture them all together."
Shen Zhixu simply wanted to die.
How long had he just been released from the Heavenly Prison? He was thrown into the Heavenly Prison again!
Is he in conflict with the Heavenly Prison?
Chaoyun Palace.
Just as Concubine Qi slowly woke up, the imperial guards rushed in.
