Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.
She wants to make the royal family of Dongli regret it!
The man was stunned and began to speak, "The royal family of Dongli Kingdom... consists of nineteen princes and three grandsons, and the court is divided into three factions."
"The first branch is the lineage of the eldest prince. The eldest prince was born to the queen and has always been prestigious. He is friendly in the court and has the most ministers supporting him."
"The second group is the Crown Prince, who is ranked as the Sixth Prince. He is the son of the Emperor's favorite Concubine Xin. His mother's family is powerful, but his ability is average, so he has fewer supporters than the First Prince."
"The third group is the Third Prince, born to Concubine Ling. He is good at winning over powerful forces to his advantage."
"However, the Imperial City has not been at peace recently. The Emperor's youngest son returned from Xiqi State and caused a stir in the city."
"The master said that he is a very powerful person and needs to be eliminated as soon as possible."
The man gave a brief account of the situation of the royal family of Dongli Kingdom.
The last two sentences were heard from the eldest prince.
Dugu Qingluo frowned slightly, keenly capturing the key information.
"Who is the youngest son of the Emperor?"
"He is the orphan of the retired emperor. He should have inherited the throne, but his status was taken away by his uncle. He was sent to Xiqi Kingdom as a hostage since he was young. He just returned not long ago."
The man said expressionlessly.
What he said can be found out by asking.
Dugu Qingluo felt that this person could be used as a breakthrough point.
He should have been the emperor, but his uncle took the throne away from him and he was thrown into another country. I guess his life would not be easy.
As long as you have hatred towards the current royal family of Dongli Kingdom, you can cooperate.
She doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire for the royal family of Dongli Kingdom!
After asking a few more questions, and seeing that he had asked almost all of them, Dugu Qingluo ordered his men to suppress the three assassins.
These three people cannot die now, they are still very useful!
"Yan Qing, tell the Queen Mother the contents of this record."
Dugu Qingluo said to his personal female official.
Yan Qing took the record book and left the prison.
After returning to the East Palace, Dugu Qingluo opened the secret compartment under the floor and walked into the dungeon.
The old princess and five spies are hiding in the dungeon of her palace!
During the day, she was afraid of accidents, so she took the opportunity to move the people out.
Unexpectedly, there really were assassins coming at night!
"Auntie Huang, do you think someone is coming to save you tonight, or to kill you?"
Dugu Qingluo looked at the old princess and said.
Old Lady Wang stammered, her face covered in blood, and she couldn't speak.
The reason is simple: his mouth was sewn shut.
It was Empress Dugu who ordered it to be sewn.
"The person you trusted sent someone to kill you."
"Don't worry, Auntie. I will arrange for you to meet them soon."
Dugu Qingluo smiled faintly and looked at the five spies meaningfully.
No matter how noisy the old princess made, no one paid any attention to her.
Back upstairs, Dugu Qingluo lay on the throne, his body relaxed.
Two female attendants massaged her shoulders.
"Your Highness, you've worked too hard."
"I feel really bad for you, please get more rest."
The female official pounded him hard and said with heartache.
"I have my own plans in mind, you don't have to worry."
"By the way, notify Vice Commander Song tomorrow and ask her to send some people to Dongli Kingdom to gather information."
"After a while, I will go to Dongli Kingdom."
Dugu Qingluo closed his eyes comfortably and gave the order.
"Your Highness, I understand."
"Your Highness, are you still bringing people? I also want to go. The Dongli Kingdom is really going too far!"
"We must let the Dongli Kingdom know that we, the Dugu Kingdom, cannot be provoked!"
The female official spoke indignantly, increasing the strength in her hands.
Dugu Qingluo frowned, "If you want to go, you can follow me."
The two female officials were so happy that they became stronger.
"Okay."
"You guys go down."
Dugu Qingluo stood up, his shoulders ached, and most of his tiredness disappeared.
After the two female officials left, Dugu Qingluo dealt with some more things before falling into a deep sleep.
Two days passed.
In the past two days, several assassins came to attack, but they were all captured by Dahei with one palm.
On the third day, the time arrived for Empress Dugu to meet with the officials.
That's it!
The old princess, five spies, and ministers who participated in the usurpation of the throne were beheaded!
The government posted the notice early, and in the morning people gathered at the execution platform to watch the excitement.
At noon, everyone arrived one after another.
This beheading was a serious crime that concerned the fate of the Dugu Kingdom. Empress Dugu was also present.
The prisoner, Dugu Shuangyan, was the first royal family member to be beheaded in hundreds of years.
In order were five spies and ministers who participated in the usurpation of the throne.
Dugu Shuangyan was held down and walked towards the execution platform, her eyes filled with tears. She looked at Empress Dugu from time to time and shook her head.
Unfortunately, her mouth was still sewn shut and she couldn't speak.
The five spies and the minister had such weak legs that they had to be dragged along.
Separate the men and make them kneel before the guillotine.
The executioner who was in charge of beheading the old princess was ordered to tear off the fuse on the old princess's mouth.
"Royal sister, help!"
"Wuwuwu... Shuangyan doesn't want to die. Shuangyan really knows she's wrong."
"Royal sister, please let me go, wuwuwu..."
"You killed your own sisters, you must die a horrible death! A horrible death!"
When the old lady realized she could speak again, she burst into tears and begged for mercy.
Only after she was put on the execution platform did she really feel scared. She didn't want to die.
Empress Dugu didn't even look at her and started cursing again.
The dozen or so fellow thieves who were traveling with me had nothing to say. If I died, it would hurt. So what?
