Chapter 180 This is an attempt to usurp the throne!
Chu Huaixu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Wei Zhao calmly, "You should have heard the news, right? Are you satisfied?"
"Your Highness is so thoughtful and considerate. The results are even better than I expected. I am naturally satisfied. Thank you, Your Highness, for this."
"You're welcome." Chu Huaixu raised his eyes, "I'm helping you not for your gratitude."
"I know." Wei Zhao stood up straighter, his expression becoming more serious. "Your Highness is willing to help me, firstly because of Youning, and secondly for Dayong. Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
"That's good. If you need anything, just let me know."
After Chu Huaixu finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the house first.
Yu Youning was enjoying her meal when she looked up and saw Chu Huaixu coming in. She quickly called out to him, "Ah Xu, what have you been doing? Come over here and sit down to eat!"
As she spoke, she peeked outside again, "Why hasn't Wei Zhao come back yet? Isn't he eating here?"
Chu Huaixu was about to answer when there was another noise outside.
When everyone looked, they saw Eunuch Liang coming in a hurry.
"Seventh Prince, the Empress has something to ask you. Please follow me quickly!"
He kept calling himself a slave, but there was no respect on his face, and he even looked a little contemptuous and angry.
Wei Zhao looked at Eunuch Liang in surprise. "Excuse me, Eunuch, why is the Empress so anxious to see me at this time? Is there something urgent?"
"The Seventh Prince will know after he goes there." Eunuch Liang said with a forced smile, "Seventh Prince, please go ahead. Don't keep His Majesty waiting! If you cause Her Majesty any displeasure, not only I, but even the Seventh Prince, will be in big trouble."
"You are right, sir. Let's go now! But I still need to speak to the Valley Master. Please wait a moment, sir."
Wei Zhao said as he walked into the house.
"Valley Master, the Queen has urgently summoned me. I'm afraid it's something important. I'll be leaving first."
Chu Huaishan responded, "Seventh Prince, take care!"
Wei Zhao didn't say anything more, but just looked at Yu Youning again before leaving.
Yu Youning had put down the chopsticks in his hand and frowned as he looked at Wei Zhao's back until he could no longer see him, then he snorted.
"This Eunuch Liang is so annoying!"
Chu Huaixu smiled and picked up some food for Yu Youning. "Since Youning doesn't like him, just don't see him anymore."
When these words reached the ears of the secret guard, they became: Since Youning doesn't like him, just kill him.
A secret guard left quietly.
Qinglong, who was also hiding in the dark, saw this and silently curled his lips.
This little prince is young, but his methods are ruthless.
However, he took Youning's words so seriously that it didn't matter if he was a little ruthless.
When Yu Youning heard Chu Huaixu's words, he nodded indifferently. His mood for eating was disturbed, and Yu Youning even slowed down his eating speed.
Looking around, seeing that there was no one in the room, Yu Youning looked at Chu Huaishan, "Master, what about the situation of the Nanzhao Emperor..."
Before Yu Youning could finish, Chu Huaishan laughed, "Youning! There are too many people who want him dead. He will die sooner or later. So don't bother saving him. Just go through the motions and deal with it. What I, your master, need to do is to make him die when he deserves to die. Do you understand?"
Yu Youning blinked, "Then when is the time to die?"
"Well, you'll know when the time comes!"
Chu Huaishan said, picking up a chicken leg and putting it in Yu Youning's bowl, "Eat quickly, eat your favorite chicken leg!"
Yu Youning snorted, "Master has also learned from the old monk!"
Huo Qingchen was a little confused by the incoherent words. "What do you mean by learning from the old monk? Which old monk did you learn from? What's wrong with the old monk?"
"Don't finish what you're saying! You always stop mid-sentence!"
Huo Qingchen, who had just looked reluctant, suddenly nodded vigorously, expressing his deep agreement.
"Right, right, right! Youning, you're absolutely right! I've met some masters before, and they always leave their words unsaid. They're so annoying!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Qingchen realized something was wrong, and hurriedly lowered his head, stuffing food into his mouth continuously.
Oh no!
You spoke too fast just now!
I accidentally said the truth!
Wouldn’t the Valley Master be angry?
Huo Qingchen's cheeks puffed up as he cautiously looked at Chu Huaishan's reaction.
As soon as she looked over, her eyes met Chu Huaishan's. She was so scared that she quickly looked away and chewed even faster.
Seeing this, Yu Youning smiled and comforted him, "Huo Qingchen, you don't have to be so nervous. Master is not that stingy!"
Chu Huaishan blew his beard and glared.
Since she said so, even if he was stingy before, he can't be stingy now!
...
Wei Zhao came to the Queen's Palace and saw Queen Nan sitting there at a glance.
The expected outburst of rage did not occur.
Queen Nan sat there, her whole body exuding elegance and grace.
She sighed, a hint of worry crossing her brows. "Zhao'er, have you heard about your second uncle? I heard that not only was he dead, but his body was dismembered and thrown in the market, with his head hung high. Many people saw it with their own eyes. Who killed him? Not only did they kill him, but they also humiliated him in such a way. Such methods are truly outrageous."
Wei Zhao listened quietly, and his eyes gradually turned red as she spoke.
"I've heard about this, too, and I'm wondering who did it. My second uncle was a good official, loving the people like his own children and treating everyone with kindness. Why did he suddenly end up like this..."
As he spoke, tears began to roll down his cheeks.
Queen Nan sighed, "I know you're sad, but don't just worry about yourself. You should go visit the Jiang family too. Your grandparents are old, and I wonder how heartbroken they must be when they hear about this. I've prepared some supplements for you to take with you later!"
"Yes! Thank you, Queen!"
"Go!"
"Zhao'er, take your leave!"
Just as Wei Zhao reached the palace gate, Queen Nan spoke again, "You must comfort your grandfather and grandmother. Don't let them get too sad and get into trouble."
Wei Zhao turned around and saluted respectfully, "Yes!"
Only after seeing Wei Zhao's back completely disappear did Queen Nan sneer and say, "Have someone follow him closely. I want to know everything he says and does in the Jiang family."
Eunuch Liang quickly agreed and quickly stepped out to make arrangements.
Wei Zhao quickly brought the things to the Jiang family.
The Jiang family has already hung up the white banner.
As soon as I reached the door, I could hear crying coming from inside.
Wei Zhao lowered his eyes and was led inside by the housekeeper. They soon arrived at the mourning hall.
"The Seventh Prince has arrived!"
The housekeeper sang along, and everyone in the mourning hall looked over.
Jiang Liyang, the eldest master of the Jiang family, had a gloomy face. "Zhao'er is here. Let's burn a stick of incense for your second uncle!"
"yes."
Wei Zhao took the burning incense from the housekeeper, bowed three times to the spirit tablet, and finally inserted it into the incense burner with his own hands.
Looking at the curling cigarette, Wei Zhao's eyes were cold.
Second uncle, please walk slowly on the road.
When he turned around, his face was already full of pain.
"My condolences, uncle!"
"Do you know who killed your second uncle?" Jiang Liyang asked coldly.
Wei Zhao looked surprised, "Could it be that my uncle knows who it is?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Queen!"
"The Emperor is seriously ill, and she has forbidden any ministers to visit him. She says, "I don't want anyone to disturb the Emperor's rest, but I know exactly what she's up to!"
"Now your second uncle has died inexplicably, and his body has been dismembered and hung in the market. This is a humiliation to my Jiang family and an attempt to intimidate and threaten me!"
"You're dreaming of using such means to scare me and make me submit to her!"
"My Jiang family will never submit to such a vicious person! If she really takes power, my Jiang family will be wiped out, and the people of Nanzhao will be plunged into dire straits!"
"Zhao'er, you have half the blood of the Jiang family in your body. If the Jiang family falls, she will definitely not let you go. For yourself, for your mother, for the Jiang family, and for the people of Nanzhao, you must stand up!"
Wei Zhao's face was filled with hesitation and confusion. "Uncle, could this be a misunderstanding? The Queen doesn't seem to be such a vicious person. She just summoned me and prepared some supplements for me to take to my grandparents..."
"Do you think she's concerned about you and the Jiang family?" Jiang Liyang interrupted Wei Zhao, "She's just being hypocritical! She's clearly trying to get someone to follow you into the Jiang family so they can get their news!"
Your mother is smart and clever, no less capable than a man. Everyone in my Jiang family is smart, brave and resourceful. You still have half the Jiang family's blood in your body, so how come you are so naive and stupid?
She just smiled a little more at you, have you forgotten the torture you and your mother went through over the years? Have you forgotten how your mother died? Don't you want to avenge your mother?"
Tears welled up in Wei Zhao's eyes, and his thin body trembled slightly.
His eyes were red, but he was trying his best to hold back and not let the tears fall.
"Uncle, I know I'm not smart enough, nor do I have much skill, but I won't let my mother and second uncle die in vain."
"Uncle, I will do whatever you say from now on! I must avenge my mother and my second uncle! I will never let the people of Nanzhao suffer!"
"good!"
Jiang Liyang shouted, and there was finally some satisfaction in his eyes.
"You went to see the Emperor this morning with the Valley Master of the Divine Doctor Valley. How is the Emperor doing? What did the Valley Master say?"
Wei Zhao wiped his eyes and said, "The Valley Master said that my father didn't have a strange disease, but was poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Jiang Liyang's voice became louder, but there was no worry on his face, only excitement. "The person who poisoned must be that vicious queen! She wants to kill the emperor so that her son can take the throne. This is usurping the throne in a certain dynasty!"
Jiang Liyang walked around the mourning hall twice with his hands behind his back.
"Zhao'er, I will inform General Xia of these circumstances. Once General Xia and I have discussed this, you will have to work with us, both inside and outside, to rescue the emperor and eliminate his foes!"
