Seeing the Duke of Guardian being so reasonable, Prince Duan felt much more at ease: "Okay, once it's done, I will make Chu Xiaoxiao the Princess of Lingxian County, and the Chu family the King of Northern Frontier, guarding the Northern Frontier all year round."
Chu Zhinan: “…”
King of Northern Frontier? Guarding Northern Frontier all year round? Princess Lingxian? Are you trying to use my daughter to blackmail me for a long time? You want the men of our Chu family to stay in Northern Frontier all year round, and the women to stay in the capital as your hostages. How could you come up with this idea?
"Thank you!" Chu Zhinan's attitude was still humble, "I will definitely cooperate fully."
"Very good! I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation and create a good future together."
Prince Duan was in a much better mood. He poured a glass of wine for Chu Zhinan. The two clinked their glasses and drank together.
The matter had been discussed, Chu Zhinan sat for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.
Prince Duan did not try to persuade him to stay. Their contact could not be exposed for the time being, so it would be best for him to get up and leave.
On the second day, Prince Duan entered the palace to serve the Queen Mother, and the nanny specially showed him Li Sirui's masterpiece.
The calves of the empress dowager were covered with pinch marks and purple bruises. Prince Duan finally understood why the emperor wanted to punish her with a stick. In the eyes of the emperor, the queen mother was also his mother.
His mother was seriously ill, so he naturally felt distressed. How could he allow someone to attack her secretly?
Li Sirui: “…”
I didn't. I only pinched two places. The rest of the pinch marks were forged by others. I will die with regrets.
Even if the Queen Mother's bedroom was heavily incense-burned, it couldn't cover up the stench of feces and urine. Moreover, she was already unconscious, and it was the same whether she opened her eyes or closed them. She didn't respond to anything you said to her.
Prince Duan didn't know why the Queen Mother became like this, and who made her become like this. All the people planted in the palace were cleared out, and he couldn't receive any useful information.
Everything he could receive was what the emperor wanted him to receive.
He suspected that the Emperor knew the Queen Mother's feelings for him and that was why he was taking revenge on her, but unfortunately he had no evidence.
The Queen Mother had been deposed, and he did not expect her to help him. He stayed in the palace for two days as a token of his filial piety, and then left.
There are still important things to be done, and he must cut the Gordian knot quickly. The longer he delays, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.
If it really doesn't work, he will carry Chu Xiaoxiao into the palace and let her use her magical powers to kill the emperor.
Chu Xiaoxiao: “…”
You really trust me and you're not afraid that I'll kill you.
Late at night five days later, Prince Duan launched a coup.
The people from the Imperial City Bureau opened the gates of the capital, and all the troops that Prince Duan had ambushed outside the capital entered the city.
Chu Zhinan and his men had been staying in the camp outside Beijing and had not received any orders.
The process went smoothly and Prince Duan was very happy. He also had his people in the Imperial Guard, so he opened the palace gates and let the army in.
Along the way, we were unstoppable.
The emperor was sitting in the imperial study, with Crown Prince Li Sizu and the queen also present. Eunuch Yuanbao was guarding the door of the imperial study.
Prince Duan, holding a baby in his arms, ran straight to the emperor's study.
He doesn't have to worry about things outside, he just needs to deal with the emperor.
"Brother! You are quite patient."
Prince Duan laughed sarcastically and put Chu Xiaoxiao down. The little girl was not afraid at all. She stood beside him obediently, holding the bottle.
[Alas! Poor thing! I didn't sleep all night, I'm so sleepy, hurry up and solve it! Let me have a good sleep after that, children will not grow tall if they lack sleep. ]
Li Sizu really wanted to go over and hug her, but he was afraid that Prince Duan would be angry, so he just looked at her intently and smiled at her.
Milk ball glared at him, put his hands on his hips, and looked like he was about to beat someone up.
[Hmph! Li Sizu, you are not a human being. You left me alone to Concubine Li. I am very angry. I can't coax you. Don't smile at me. I hate you! I despise you! ]
The emperor glanced at the little girl, lowered his head, and curled up the corners of his mouth slightly. The angry accusations in her heart were really funny.
It didn't match the scene in front of him, and he was afraid that if he laughed, he would anger Prince Duan to death.
The queen looked at Chu Xiaoxiao with a little soreness in her eyes. This child had been wronged. After the incident was over, she would definitely compensate her.
Prince Duan held a sword in his hand and put it on the emperor's neck: "It's already this time, and you can still laugh? What are you laughing at?"
【Laugh at your stupidity! 】
Li Sizu was relieved to see that Chu Xiaoxiao was no longer angry and stopped scolding her. To be honest, he was afraid that she would be unhappy, because she would be fierce when she was unhappy.
It doesn't matter if I scold him a few times, I'm just afraid that she will get angry with me.
[From opening the city gate to entering the palace, there were basically no obstacles along the way. Can't your noble head think a few more times? Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. You are dead. ]
The emperor was so happy after hearing this: "Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
The little ancestor was really powerful and saw through his deployment at a glance.
Seeing him laughing so loudly, Prince Duan was furious as if he was looking at a fool: "What are you laughing at? Although you are my eldest brother, you are not my mother's biological son. You are a bastard born to a woman outside.
I am the legitimate son, you are not, you are a bastard brought back from outside."
The Queen's pupils shrank slightly. She knew that the Emperor was not the Queen Mother's biological son, but she didn't know who the Emperor's biological mother was. It was the first time she heard such words, and she felt incredible.
Prince Duan thought that if he revealed the emperor's life experience, the emperor would be furious, but he just restrained his smile and took a deep breath silently.
I laughed so hard just now that I have some difficulty breathing.
"My biological mother was the one my father loved the most, but unfortunately she didn't want to enter the palace, so your mother took advantage of her." The emperor's tone was calm, without any ups and downs.
The queen turned her head and looked at him, her eyes slightly red. It was just because the emperor was not the queen dowager's biological son that the queen poisoned him and treated her harshly and oppressed her.
"Your mother is not a human being. In order to obtain the position of Queen, she was willing to cooperate with Father and lie to the outside world that I am her legitimate son. With her stupidity, how could she give birth to me? She could only give birth to someone like you."
Prince Duan was surprised: "You know all this?"
The emperor nodded, "I know. Father told me so himself. Prince Duan! Actually, you are also a poor creature. The Queen Mother kept your father in captivity for many years without telling you. I found you not long ago and buried you in the imperial mausoleum."
Have you ever thought that your mother is not as gentle and kind as you see her?"
"Impossible, the Queen Mother is not that kind of person."
Prince Duan would never believe the emperor's words. His mother had always been graceful, noble, gentle and kind, and was the one who loved him the most. How could she have imprisoned his father? And committed the crime of disrespect?
The emperor did not force him to believe it, but smiled calmly: "You will know it later."
There are still people close to the Queen Mother in the prison. Throw Prince Duan in there and he will find out everything about the Queen Mother.
"It's you who made Mother what she is today, right?"
"Yes!" The emperor answered very straightforwardly, not afraid of the sword that Prince Duan held on his neck, "That vicious woman tortured my father every day and poisoned me, why should I show mercy to her?
I will poison her in the same way that she poisoned me. Did she prepare the poison herself? "
