Chapter 436: Civil War in Dayu



Shangguan Du had never suffered such injustice before, and his eyes were already red at this moment.

"Bitch, you two bitches, you will not die well."

"You deceive the emperor and yet you still try to gain my mercy."

"If your rebellious son hadn't had evil intentions, how could I have treated him like this?"

"That little bastard is clearly the bastard you and your partner had with a bastard, yet you still want me to raise someone else's son."

"I have already done my utmost kindness by not poisoning you, yet you still have complaints."

"And you, why do you think I married you? Wasn't it because your father forced me to do so?"

"You have a beautiful face, but a heart as hard as stone, dull and boring. If it weren't for the Wang family, do you think I would be willing to favor you?"

"As for your miscarriage, that was your own fault. I only punished you by making you kneel for a while, but you couldn't even kneel down to have a child, and you still have the nerve to blame me."

"You don't need to worry about protecting the fetus all day long. You are just jealous all day long. What's wrong with me punishing you?"

"Now, relying on that rebellious son's power, he dares to bully me."

"Do you know that this is a capital crime? Even if I die, I will not let you go."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jing's originally calm hearts turned colder still further.

The two of them laughed out loud at the same time. That laughter was a mockery of Shangguan Du, but also a self-mockery of their own lives.

"I was so blind to fall for a heartless person like you."

"Sister, this kind of person is not worth wasting our time on. Let's bury him with the woman he loves."

Shangguan Du heard this, his eyes were filled with anger and he couldn't stop cursing.

"Bitch, you two bitches, you are committing regicide and will go to hell."

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Jing no longer wanted to listen to him. They supported each other and left Shangguandu's bedroom with wry smiles on their faces.

"Doctor Xu, please go and tell His Majesty that we can send the Emperor on his way."

Doctor Xu nodded, and then went to Shangguan Lingyun's bedroom in person.

Seeing Doctor Xu coming, Wang Xiao did not let him disturb Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao, but personally led people to capture Shangguan Yu.

Shangguan Yu had been tortured to death by Shangguan Du. When he saw Shangguan Du lying alone on the bed, the hatred in his eyes made him slowly crawl over.

"Father, I didn't expect that you would end up like this."

"Since I am going to die eventually, why not let me accompany you on your journey?"

After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he used both hands to pinch Shangguan Du's neck.

Shangguan Du could still curse a few times at first, but slowly, his voice gradually weakened.

Until the end, Shangguan Du still died with his eyes open, while Shangguan Yu laughed heartily, and finally vomited blood and slowly fell down.

Before he died, scenes flashed through his mind.

In the picture, Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao both died tragically, while he and Ye Xinxin ascended to high positions and lived a life of luxury.

Shangguan Yu had a smile on his face and finally closed his eyes.

After Shangguan Lingyun got the news, he had Shangguan Yu thrown directly into a mass grave.

Shangguandu was buried in the imperial mausoleum with the ceremony of the retired emperor.

However, the coffin that was carried away was empty, and the real body of Shangguan Du was buried in Han Yuru's tomb.

From then on, the power of Daxia was completely in the hands of Shangguan Lingyun.

Shangguan Lingyun attended court during the day, and after leaving court he accompanied Ye Xiaoxiao to take care of her pregnancy and told her interesting stories that happened inside and outside the court.

Life was peaceful for a while, but it didn't last long before news came from Dayu.

"Your Majesty, there is civil unrest in Dayu."

Shangguan Lingyun frowned, and Ye Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked.

"What happened? How are Prince Dayu and my second and fourth brothers?"

Wang Xiao glanced at Shangguan Lingyun, and Ye Xiaoxiao spoke sternly.

"What are you still standing there for? Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me?"

Shangguan Lingyun also nodded, and Wang Xiao then spoke.

"Empress Dayu has kidnapped Emperor Dayu and gathered her last remaining troops to engage in a battle with Dugu Xin. Civil strife has broken out in Dayu."

Ye Xiaoxiao was not alarmed when she heard this, but asked about the specific situation.

In the meeting hall of Dayu's imperial capital, Dugu Xin looked coldly at the anxious ministers in the hall.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has been kidnapped. What should we do?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The Queen has requested that Qi Yuan be released. Otherwise, we should first exchange His Majesty back and then deal with the Queen's crimes. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Dugu Xin just watched quietly, allowing those people to express their opinions in the court.

After a long while, and after making sure that everyone had expressed their suggestions, Dugu Xin finally spoke.

"Come here, take down all the thief's spies."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yu led his men to arrest all the ministers who had just proposed to release Qi Yuan and rescue the emperor.

"Your Highness, I am wronged. I am not the Queen's spy. I just think that His Majesty should be rescued first."

"Yes, Your Highness, I am wronged. The most urgent thing is to save His Majesty first. Are you planning to rebel?"

Dugu Xin sneered, "Finally the fox tail is exposed, right?"

"Drag them away and take them to jail. Once their master is captured, we'll deal with them together."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. After waiting for the remnants of the queen to be eliminated, Dugu Xin spoke.

"Everyone, the Queen kidnapped my father only to commit treason. The Qi family, the Seventh Prince, and his mother's family are all accomplices."

"They first raised rats to infest the area, hoping to use the plague to control Dayu."

"Now that one plan fails, you're trying to come up with another. Do you really think I, Dayu, have no one left?"

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister was the first to stand up and agree.

"Your Highness is right. The Qi family's rebellion this time was firstly to avenge the deposed Crown Prince, and the two of them have been coveting the throne for a long time."

"Since His Majesty has already appointed you as the Crown Prince, it is naturally because he recognizes Your Highness's status."

"Now that His Majesty has been kidnapped, it is only right that you take charge of the government. We will fully support you."

After the Prime Minister finished speaking, the Grand Tutor spoke up, unwilling to be outdone.

"Your Highness, we all follow your lead. If you have anything to say, just tell us directly."

With the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister taking the lead, others naturally dared not neglect it.

"We, your servants, will follow your lead. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, please take charge of the overall situation."

Dugu Xin was quite satisfied with the reactions of the crowd, and then began to assign tasks to various court officials.

Civil officials are fine, they just need to help assist in the government.

However, all military generals must go into battle and be ready to fight against the Queen and the Qi family at any time.

After everything was ready, Dugu Xin let all the ministers go back.

After the court was dismissed, Dugu Xin took Han Yu to the post station.

When Ye Sheng heard that he was coming, he immediately came out to greet him.

"Your Highness, what are your plans next?"
