Chapter 278 The Old Emperor is in Danger
Shen Zhao entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the ministers.
The concubines in each palace in the hall were all holding their handkerchiefs and sobbing quietly.
It's getting closer.
Shen Zhao heard countless voices.
[Ah… I’m dying… I’ve only been in the palace for three months and haven’t even been favored by the old emperor yet, and I’m going to be buried with him. If I had known, I wouldn’t have poisoned my eldest sister to enter the palace in her place.]
This is a cruel and ruthless person and he deserves it.
"I'm pregnant with the heir to the throne. To keep the baby a secret, I've been hiding it. Ugh... What should I do now? Once the old emperor passes away and my pregnancy is revealed, the Empress will definitely kill me... Otherwise, I'll have to act first and quietly abort this posthumous child! That way, no one will want to kill a mere concubine like me."
Well... this one has some brains but not much. Poor fetus in her belly. She should choose a mother with brains when she is reborn next time.
[Your Majesty, if anything happens to you, I will follow you...]
It is really rare to find a concubine in the harem who is loyal and righteous.
I have seen people who were forced to be buried alive, but this is the first time I have encountered someone who volunteered to be buried alive.
Chen Zhao raised his eyes and took a furtive glance, but did not find Concubine Hui among the concubines.
I guess the Queen and Concubine Hui are both guarding inside at this moment.
There was a loud "bang".
Accompanied by the Queen's angry voice, "Wu Shuyue, you are so outrageous!"
All the court officials looked towards the closed door.
Are the Queen and Concubine Hui fighting?
"Pang Linxi, others may be afraid of you, but I am not. If you dare to touch the emperor today, I will fight you to the death." The angry voice of Concubine Hui was heard.
"I am the queen, and you actually dare to raise your sword against me. Do you know that I can sentence you to death?" The queen was furious.
The door was pushed open from the inside.
The young eunuch rushed out of the room, tumbling and crawling.
He said to the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and a group of ministers:
"Noble Concubine Hui wants to kill the Empress. Your Highnesses and the ministers are requested to intervene and stop her. Do not let the Empress commit an unforgivable sin."
The young eunuch's words were extremely subtle, putting all the blame on Concubine Hui.
Coupled with the noise that just came out of the room, it was extremely unfavorable to Concubine Hui.
It is easy to cause misunderstanding.
The prince took the initiative to push the young eunuch away and shouted angrily:
"Get out of here! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll chop off your head."
[Anyone could have killed my father, but Concubine Hui would never let anything happen to him, even if she died.]
[That vicious woman must be trying to harm my father again.]
Shen Zhao listened to the prince's inner thoughts and was confused for a moment.
The vicious woman the prince is talking about is the queen!
The Queen is the Prince's biological mother. If the old Emperor dies, Concubine Hui and her son will be eliminated by the Queen.
Now that the other princes are far away in their fiefdoms, the only one who can ascend the throne is the crown prince.
This is a great opportunity for the prince to ascend the throne, why is he still unwilling?
The third prince followed closely behind and kicked the young eunuch to the ground.
His eyes were sinister, "I don't care who you belong to, your life is mine."
He said to the guards standing by: "Drag him away and beat him to death with sticks!"
After saying that, he quickly caught up with the prince.
The ministers followed closely behind him.
The concubines in the harem all looked towards the door, hoping that they could go in and take a look at the emperor.
The moment Shen Zhao followed everyone into the room, he saw the mess on the floor.
Concubine Hui stood among the broken vases and porcelain bowls, holding a long sword.
The tip of the sword pointed directly at the queen.
Her beautiful eyes spewed out flames, and she wished she could stab the queen opposite to her to death with one sword.
The Queen looked at Concubine Hui calmly, without any fear of being threatened.
Seeing the ministers come in, Concubine Hui was obviously relieved.
With a "clang", the sword in her hand fell.
Then he walked quickly towards the dragon bed.
She called out softly to His Majesty, who had his eyes closed on the dragon couch.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please wake up! The ministers are all here, they are all here, Duke Xie and his sons are here too."
However, Shen Zhao heard Concubine Hui's inner cry.
[Husband, open your eyes and look, Heng'er is here to see you.
Woohoo... If you leave, I won't live alone. Whoever wants to guard this crappy kingdom can do so.
I only hope that our family of three can live happily and harmoniously like ordinary people, even if it means eating simple meals and working from sunrise to sunset. My husband, please don’t abandon me… wuwu… please don’t abandon me…]
An inappropriate and dissatisfied voice was heard.
Why didn’t my mother kill the queen? If she had, her death would have been a worthy one.
After making such a big fuss, they didn't even hurt that bitch Queen's finger. How disappointing!]
This is the voice of the third prince.
"Damn you! You're not going to accept my toast, so I'll have to pay you back. I've said all the nice things to you, but you're still determined to harm me and the prince's daughter. Only if you die and the crown prince ascends the throne can I control the government and better protect Yanran and her father."
Shen Zhao's heart was shaken.
Shen Qianmeng is indeed the queen's daughter.
[Boss, you are finally going to die. Back then, you killed your father and all of us brothers for that monster Lao Jiu.
Your fate is retribution. I can finally reclaim the throne, thanks to that foolish woman, Pang Linxi, who willingly served as my pawn and sharp weapon.]
This is the voice of Eunuch Su.
Damn!
The old emperor has a huge green hat on his head.
Those who dare to call themselves "the king" and address the old emperor as "big brother" must be the princes who were strangled by the old emperor back then.
It seems that more than one prince escaped that year.
Even the Ninth Prince, who was supposed to be dead, is alive and well.
The Ninth Prince is still alive. Does the old emperor know?
Shen Zhao has always been very curious about what happened that year that made the old emperor bear the infamy for thousands of generations, force the emperor to rebel, and kill his father.
A strange thought flashed through Shen Zhao's mind. If nothing unexpected happened, she was most likely the daughter of the Ninth Prince.
This made her even more curious about what had happened that year!
He could make the Ninth Prince fake his own death and even entrust her to his father for adoption.
No matter how Concubine Hui shouted, the old emperor still closed his eyes and did not respond at all.
A row of palace maids and imperial physicians knelt on the ground nearby.
They all looked dejected.
Suddenly, a majestic and furious voice sounded in Shen Zhao's mind.
[I will never let those thieves succeed. All you damned ones, come and save me.
I am still alive and can hear everything around me, but they are all quacks.
They are all damn quacks. They all say that I am going to die. Even if you all die, I will not die.
I can still be saved!
Shu Yue, don't go against those people. It's all because of my incompetence that I didn't give you the position of queen, and even brought disaster to you and your son.
I can't accept this! I've been planning for decades, but just when I was about to catch those thieves in one fell swoop, I was assassinated by that vicious woman Pang Linxi!
Why was I so careless that I fell into Pang Linxi's trap and nearly had my life taken by her?]
Shen Zhao listened to the old emperor's crazy roar, and then glanced at the queen who was determined to win and eunuch Su who was already confident of victory.
If this continues, the old emperor will really be doomed.
Stand out from the team.
"Could you please let me have a try?"
When Shen Zhao said this, everyone looked at her in confusion.
Try what?
What is he trying!
