Chapter 350 Extra 6
"No, we have to find a way to stop him!" Emperor Jingwen said decisively.
The remaining few people looked at each other. Now the question is, how to stop it?
The eyes of the crown prince and others fell on the silent and gloomy Emperor Taicheng.
It's true that Emperor Taicheng feels guilty, and it's also true that he hopes Jin'er will show mercy in the future, but not in this way!
Emperor Taicheng's expression changed. After a moment, he said, "I'll try."
As for the specific method of testing... Although they had never died before, they had heard many rumors about the underworld. If they wanted to communicate between the Yin and Yang worlds, there was only one way - to send dreams.
However, since the King of Hell dared to let them see what was happening in this world, he must have been prepared in advance and would not allow them the opportunity to disrupt the cause and effect of this world.
No matter how strong Emperor Taicheng's will was at the moment, he tried several times but failed. Just as sweat broke out on his forehead, the little emperor had already made the final stroke and handed the yellow silk to the empress dowager in person, instructing her not to spread the news and to hand it over to the ninth uncle personally when he returned.
Finished...
The same thought occurred to the minds of several people who saw this scene.
To be honest, Xiaojiu has been doing a pretty good job as the regent in the past year, but he is only responsible for using his status to threaten others and raising the little emperor. The real people who do the work are still He Xiang, the old Duke of Zhenguo and others. When thinking of his past actions, wouldn't Emperor Jingwen be desperate?
"Wait." Emperor Jingwen felt that he couldn't give up just like that.
"If I remember correctly, the sixth wife was a steady person."
It’s okay that the emperor is young, but it’s impossible for the empress dowager to follow him in making trouble, right?
Upon hearing this, Emperor Taicheng shook his head slightly heavily, completely shattering the little hope in his father's heart without any consideration.
"If it was in the past, it would be fine, but now it is not possible."
First she passed away, and then her only child died within just a year. In addition, she did not leave any other offspring. No matter what the empress dowager did now, she could not save the situation. Moreover, given the current situation, letting Xiaojiu ascend the throne was the best choice for the He family and her, and there was no way the empress dowager would disagree.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother took the will and put it into her sleeve without even looking at it. She didn't care whether it said that the Regent would succeed to the throne or pass the throne to someone else. What's more, the Queen Mother deliberately gave the Regent the opportunity to take the throne. After all, if she didn't read it, she wouldn't know what was written on it. Even if it was changed by the Regent in the end, it would be a good thing.
Emperor Jingwen choked up when he guessed what his daughter-in-law was thinking at the moment.
Perhaps it was expected that the little emperor would not survive the night, so when they saw him convulse and die tragically, everyone was relatively calm. Only Emperor Taicheng, as a father, looked at the prince with a look that seemed to be filled with poison, scraping across his body inch by inch.
The prince was helpless and could only smile bitterly. He just hoped that Xun'er had not done this, otherwise Xun'er would have a hard time when he came to the underworld in the future.
In the scene, Xiaojiu, who had rushed back overnight after a long journey, not only showed no joy after receiving the will, but looked as if he had lost his parents. Although one can feel that he was heartbroken for the death of the little emperor, he also looked despair about the future, which seemed not much different from when his own father died.
The prince and others thought they had seen it wrong. After all, although Xiaojiu had never had the intention of seizing the throne, it was a pie in the sky. It was impossible for him not to be happy at all, right?
However, it turned out that he was indeed not happy at all. Not only was he unhappy, he also cursed.
[“I really owed you two in my previous life. Even after my death, you can’t let me rest in peace. What sin have I committed!”]
Xiaojiu had a sad expression on her face and every word she spoke was tearful. Emperor Taicheng, who was listening to this, almost laughed out of anger.
Xiaojiu couldn't possibly know that they were watching him in the underworld at this moment, so all his expressions and performances were real. He really had no desire for the throne and was very unhappy about it.
The expressions of the Fourth Prince and the Second Prince twisted instantly, and they also cursed in their hearts.
But now is obviously not the time to say this. If they are right, the little emperor will probably come here soon after his death.
So, when the little emperor came to this courtyard, before he could feel happy about the presence of Emperor Taicheng, he was met with several pairs of fiery gazes. For a moment, the little emperor seriously suspected that he would be torn apart and swallowed by his uncles in the next moment.
The little emperor had a bad feeling when he was on the boat. He never thought that the underworld actually existed. Now... he could only say that his premonition had come true.
With a "gulp", the little emperor swallowed hard, forced himself to calm down, and greeted everyone in a polite and polite manner: "Hello, Grandpa Emperor, hello, all the uncles."
Emperor Jingwen didn't care whether it was good or not. What he wanted to know now was what his grandson was thinking. He was so talented that he passed the throne under his butt to his uncle.
Faced with such questions, the little emperor smiled dryly, but couldn't help muttering in his heart, he didn't want to do that! He thought that when a person died, everything was over, and he didn't know anything. What did the throne have to do with him? He didn't care so much. Instead of falling into the hands of others, he might as well pick the one he liked the most and give it to him.
The little emperor had been patient all his life just like his father. He finally indulged himself once, but he didn't expect to be caught.
When the little emperor saw something he didn't know what it was called not far away playing images of the real world non-stop, he was suffocated.
"Grandpa Emperor, this...I..."
In the end, Emperor Taicheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he coughed and pulled his silly son to his side, completely isolating his son from the sight of other people.
The young emperor was deeply moved. He wondered if it was his illusion, but his father seemed to have become much gentler after his death, and he was not as harsh to him as before. However, before he could think about it, he saw the Ninth Uncle in the picture waiting until his body was burned, then taking the scroll of the will and leaving the palace.
Emperor Jingwen understood his son well. Seeing his expression, he knew that the matter was not over yet, especially for him, it was far from over.
The prince's expression also changed slightly, and his heart was lifted.
Noticing that the atmosphere around him was somewhat stagnant, the little emperor was somewhat unable to react. He did not know why his father and the others had suddenly become different. Finally, the second prince noticed his bewilderment and reluctantly explained, "Your ninth uncle has gone to look for the murderer who caused you to get sick."
Xiaojiu is just a little out of touch, not stupid. There is no reason why Xiaojiu cannot see what they can see.
"In the past two days, only a few people knew about the imperial edict. Even the empress dowager has not seen it personally. Whoever attacks him at this time must be the one giving the instructions behind the scenes." Only those who know everything about the movements in the palace can break through numerous obstacles and reach the little emperor.
As soon as the words fell, the little emperor perked up and his eyes suddenly widened.
So, the Ninth Prince is going to avenge himself...
The little emperor's eyes suddenly turned red, and he almost cried. His voice was choked with sobs, "Ninth Uncle, wuwu..."
The young emperor was not without regrets that he died at a young age, but even so, although he was touched, he felt that the Ninth Prince was too bold. He walked out of the palace without even a guard. Although he could understand that he was willing to take risks to lure out the person behind the scenes, he was still worried.
This time, even Emperor Jingwen couldn't help but frown.
Seeing that the first person Xiaojiu approached was his own cousin and that he had stepped into the door of the old Duke Zhenguo's house, Emperor Taicheng was stunned at first, and then his heart suddenly softened.
No matter what the result is, Xiaojiu's actions are enough to make Emperor Taicheng feel relieved.
At this moment, everyone held their breath. After Xiao Jiu had spoken to Wei Wen for a few times and confirmed that Wei Wen was not the mastermind behind the scenes, everyone looked at the prince with undisguised eyes.
It’s not Prime Minister He, it’s not the fifth, seventh, or eighth princes, and the rest of the princes don’t even have the chance to get close to the little emperor. It’s not the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion, and there’s only that one person left.
The prince couldn't help but turn sideways, not daring to look at the expressions of the two victims.
The prince had thought that after his death, the entire prince's mansion would fall into decline. However, he could not believe that such a change would cause Xun'er to change so much that he could even kill a child, just like he did back then. The only difference was that the prince could not bear to be so cruel, but Ye Xun did not have so many concerns.
The prince thought that this was Xun'er's limit at this time, but he did not expect that when facing Xiaojiu, Ye Xun was still merciless.
When the prince saw the scene of Xiaojiu drunkenly lying on the table on the screen, his heart skipped a beat. Emperor Jingwen almost stood up and rushed into the screen. But when he realized that what he saw was just an illusion, he stopped abruptly, but his hands gripping the armrest tightened uncontrollably.
Emperor Jingwen didn't even dare to think about how he would treat the prince in the future if something went wrong with Xiaojiu.
The second prince and the fourth prince, who were considered half outsiders at the scene, noticed something unusual and felt that things were not that simple.
It was not until the prince's former assassins surrounded the entire courtyard that Ye Shuo, who was originally not very clear-headed, suddenly opened his eyes, and then a stunning flash of sword light flashed by.
In an instant, the cold light became brighter, as if the light from the sky was tilting down. Even the Second Prince couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Shocked, Emperor Jingwen stood up suddenly.
Afterwards, Ye Xun, whose soul returned to the underworld, was greeted with attention that was many times more intense than what Ye Jin had received at that time.
