“Wuwuwu…”
The emperor was roaring and trying his best to stop everything.
Even though nothing can stop it.
Concubine Xue came to the bedside and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. This will all be over soon. Then you will be free. I will let you go with peace of mind."
The emperor's eyes were wide open, as if he was a devil crawling out of hell, wanting to drag all those who betrayed him into hell and fry them in a pan of oil.
Concubine Xue chuckled. "Your Majesty, you look so frightening. I'm frightened to death by you. But even if you go blind, it won't change the facts. Prince Zhao will be the next emperor. He will inherit your will and govern the Great Zhou. Don't worry, he will be a good emperor."
Just when the emperor was about to be angered to death, a dull noise was heard in the empty bedroom.
The empty wall was concave inward, revealing a hollow compartment.
There is a sandalwood box in the secret compartment.
Concubine Xue looked tense. No one spoke in the bedroom. Everyone was staring at the sandalwood box in the secret compartment.
King Zhao picked up the sandalwood box with his own hands, unable to hide his excitement.
He carefully placed the sandalwood box on the table, rubbing his hands with a fiery look in his eyes.
Concubine Xue urged, "Open it quickly and see if the imperial seal is inside."
King Zhao nodded, pulled down the lock, and the lid of the sandalwood box opened. Inside lay a jade-carved imperial seal.
"Hahahaha... the imperial seal, it really is the imperial seal..."
King Zhao held up the imperial seal and laughed out loud.
It was as if at this moment, he had ascended the throne and become the emperor of the Great Zhou.
"Hurry, put your seal on the edict." Concubine Xue urged.
Only with the imperial edict of succession in hand could she feel completely at ease.
Even if the edict of succession is fake, as long as it has the seal of the imperial seal, the fake can become real.
The edict of succession, written in the style of Chen Dachang, was placed on the desk.
King Zhao could not hide his excitement and used the seal himself.
As the seal fell, the edict transformed from fake to real.
"Hahaha……"
King Zhao laughed out loud, the throne was within his grasp.
At this time, a cold voice sounded.
"I have already fulfilled my promise, isn't it time for the Imperial Concubine to fulfill yours as well?"
The person who spoke was the King of Yan.
Concubine Xue was in a good mood and didn't care about Prince Yan's attitude.
"You helped King Zhao, and I am grateful for your kindness. Bring the man up here."
At the command, soon Li Defei and her son were brought to the bedroom.
Concubine Li De held the little prince in her arms, terrified and uneasy.
When she saw Concubine Xue, her pupils shrank and she was gripped by fear.
She rushed to the bedside, "Your Majesty, please save me, save the little prince."
She curled up into a ball, and the little prince felt very uncomfortable in her arms and cried out of fear.
The emperor stretched out his hand, his fingers trembling, pointing at Concubine Xue, and making a whimpering sound.
Concubine Xue smiled softly, "Your Majesty, please don't point at me. I have no prejudice against Concubine De. But Concubine De is such a failure as a person. She has offended too many people. Someone wants her life, and I can't do anything about it."
“You, you…”
The emperor was so angry that he actually spoke some words, but his words were incomplete.
Chen Dachang looked towards King Yan and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Prince Yan walked forward step by step and came in front of Concubine Li De.
He stared down at her with a cruel smile.
Then he looked at the emperor lying motionless on the bed, "Did father ever imagine that this day would come?"
"You, you..." The emperor could only utter this syllable.
Prince Yan's eyes were filled with hatred. He grabbed Concubine Li De's hair and pulled her forward.
Li Defei was pulled up, panicking and terrified, "Let me go, let me go."
"Mother, mother." The little prince burst into tears.
Concubine Xue gave a wink, and immediately a eunuch picked up the little prince.
"Let go of the little prince!" Concubine Li De screamed in horror.
Bang!
Prince Yan slapped Concubine Li De in the face and said, "Now you're scared. You were so arrogant back then, how could you not have imagined this day would come?"
The Prince of Yan looked mad. He didn't show it on weekdays, but when he erupted, his madness was terrifying.
If Gu Jiu saw this scene here, he would definitely say that King Yan had been holding it in for too long and had turned himself into a madman.
The King of Yan's eyes were red, and he gnashed his teeth and roared at the emperor, "Are you heartbroken? It's really unbelievable that you have such a heart. From childhood to adulthood, you have treated us like animals.
No, in your eyes, we princes are worse than animals. You beat and scold us at every turn, without giving us the slightest respect.
Who are we? We are called princes, but we are nothing but pitiful creatures. If you want to kill us or cut us up, how dare we say no?
I'm your son, and you hit me, scolded me, and didn't give me face, but I endured it. But what did my mother do wrong? She's been with you for decades, and yet you clumsily framed her for this woman and demoted her from virtuous concubine to imperial concubine.
Don't you cherish her and the little prince she gave birth to? We adult princes are worse than pigs and dogs. Only the little prince is your biological son.
It just so happens that today I will let you see how I killed your precious son and your precious woman. I want you to know that even if you are the emperor, there will be a day when you will be powerless.
"You, you...this..." The emperor pointed at the King of Yan with a sad and angry expression.
The King of Yan raised his hand and slapped the emperor's finger away.
He laughed heartily. "Back then, in front of everyone, you stood up for that woman and demoted my mother from Consort Xian to Consort Jie. You should have expected this day to come. All this is retribution for your arrogance."
Even if this woman deserves death, you, the culprit, deserve death even more. You are not worthy of being a father at all. You are an executioner, and you killed the bond between us father and son with your own hands."
Prince Yan pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into Concubine Li De's abdomen with quick and fierce movements, without any hesitation.
Concubine Li De covered her abdomen and seemed to have not yet come to her senses.
"Why?"
Why did he have to kill her? She had nothing left, she had lost, she could no longer stir up trouble, so why would he not let her go?
Prince Yan's face was grim. "You killed my mother, you deserve to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Yan decisively drew his dagger and walked towards the little prince.
"No, don't! Kill me, don't hurt the little prince."
Concubine Li De stretched out her hand and rushed towards Prince Yan.
Prince Zhao kicked her over with one foot, "Bitch! You should feel honored to have been allowed to stir up trouble in the harem for so many years. If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened today."
Concubine Li De was not dead yet. She struggled to crawl towards Prince Yan and said, "Let the little prince go. He is innocent."
"innocent?"
The Prince of Yan seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. "From the day you conceived him, his hands have been stained with blood. As a prince, there are no innocent people. All the people you killed for him will be blamed on him."
Prince Yan picked up the little prince.
The little prince kicked his legs and cried, "Father, Mother, Father, Mother..."
The little prince was still very young, and his crying was so helpless and weak.
However, no one present showed any compassion and allowed him to cry.
Prince Yan lifted the little prince by the back of his collar and came to the head of the bed.
"Look, this is your precious son. Have you ever thought about passing the throne to him? For this bastard, you treated us adult princes like animals, wishing to kill us immediately. Fortunately, God showed mercy and gave you a stroke and hemiplegia. Today is your retribution, retribution for being a tyrant."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Yan threw the little prince heavily to the ground in front of the emperor.
Bang!
Blood was flowing everywhere, and the little prince twitched twice, and then there was no movement.
"No!"
Concubine Li De screamed wildly and crawled to the front of the little prince with her bleeding body.
"No, it won't. You will be punished."
Concubine Li De held the little prince's body, crying, shouting, and cursing.
The little prince's body gradually turned cold from warm, and blood was all over the ground.
"You will be punished, and you will all die a miserable death!" Li Defei let out her last cry, fell to the ground, and died from excessive blood loss.
"Hahaha……"
King Yan laughed out loud.
However, there was no joy of revenge in the whisper, but rather confusion and pain.
He lowered his head, looked at the two corpses, one big and one small, on the ground, and sneered.
"You deserve to die, all of you deserve to die."
He gritted his teeth, as if he was speaking to others, but also as if he was speaking to himself.
He dropped the bloody dagger and walked out of the bedroom.
King Zhao opened his mouth and wanted to call out to King Yan.
However, he was stopped by Concubine Xue.
The current state of King Yan is the best for them.
It would be even more perfect if Prince Yan never recovered from his defeat.
King Zhao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not call King Yan and watched him leave.
Concubine Xue glanced at Concubine Li De and the corpse of the little prince, then came to the bedside and smiled softly, "At this point, Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?"
There is a devil in the eyes of the emperor. No, he himself is a ghost crawling out of hell.
Whenever there were people around him, he would immediately issue an order to execute these traitors.
None of them will die a good death.
He would cut them into pieces.
Concubine Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, please take a look at this imperial edict. If there are any inappropriate words, please correct them."
"you……"
The emperor felt as if countless auras were running wild in his heart, and he could suffocate and die at any time.
Concubine Xue put away the imperial edict and said, "This edict is perfect and no longer requires your Majesty's personal correction. As for you, Your Majesty, you have completed your mission. Next, I would like to give you a great gift. Bring the person up."
