Chapter 560 An Eye for an Eye
At the same time, Ning Bao looked up at the newly shining imperial star in the sky...
Oh my god!
In just a short while, this new imperial star has become so bright; it seems that the new emperor has been chosen.
Although the new emperor has been confirmed, there seem to be quite a few obstacles.
Fortunately, the new Wenqu Star and Ziwei Star next to the new emperor are also very bright.
Ningbao diligently rummaged through her storage talisman for food. Sigh! She'd been in the palace for most of the day and still didn't know when she'd be able to leave. How boring!
........................
Inside the Emperor's palace, the moment the Second Prince received the imperial edict, everyone shouted "Long live the Emperor!" once again.
The Tiger Guard leader knelt respectfully on one knee before the Second Prince... no, the new Emperor.
The Tiger Guard knelt before the new emperor and presented him with the imperial seal...
No one expected that the edict of succession and the imperial seal were not in the hands of the same person.
"Zhao Junyue, don't be too happy yet, you don't know yet, do you?"
My 50,000-strong army is already storming the city gates.
No, judging by the time, they should have already entered the city.
"They might already be at the palace gates..."
Before the Third Prince could finish speaking, a eunuch rushed in in a panic.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, someone has broken into the palace..."
Zhou Chengxing disregarded etiquette, quickly rose from the ground, grabbed his sword, and prepared to fight.
"Your Majesty, I will go and take a look."
Zhao Junyue nodded.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Prince Zhenbei. If possible, please hold on a little longer, General Shen will be back soon."
If there is any danger, please make sure that the Prince of Zhenbei puts his own safety first.
Think of the princess and the noblewoman...
Zhao Junyue harbored resentment towards the old emperor and also had a poor impression of the court that the old emperor had protected.
If the old emperor had been more decisive, he wouldn't have allowed the Liu family to control the government.
Zhao Junyue, however, genuinely respected the Prince of Zhenbei, regarding him as an uncle worthy of his utmost respect.
Therefore, he was extremely unwilling to let the Prince of Zhenbei be injured or even lose his life in order to protect this broken and dilapidated court.
Zhou Chengxing gave Zhao Junyue a deep look, then strode out.
After Zhou Chengxing left, Zhao Junyue immediately ordered his men to take Consort Liu and the Third Prince away.
Consort Liu was very confident in her backup plan, which consisted of 50,000 troops. No matter how brave Zhou Chengxing was, he could not possibly fight against 50,000 men alone.
Therefore, Consort Liu was not afraid at all when she was taken away by Zhao Junyue's guards.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she was escorted back to her bedchamber, she would see Zhao Junyue walk in.
Seeing Zhao Junyue frown, Consort Liu suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Zhao Junyue, what are you doing here?"
Shouldn't you be out there managing things?
Zhao Junyue looked at Consort Liu with a sinister gaze.
"To take charge of the overall situation?"
Why should I take charge of the overall situation?
You probably don't know this yet, do you?
The throne that you and your son so covet, I don't care about at all.
What I care about most is whether you are dead or not.
"How could you treat my mother and elder brother like that? Today I'll repay you tenfold!"
"No! Zhao Junyue, you can't do this!" Consort Liu shook her head repeatedly in fright upon hearing Zhao Junyue's words.
"I am the most honored woman in the Longyuan Kingdom. My son will soon become the emperor. I am the Empress Dowager."
If you harm me, I will have Gu Yunrou and your fiancée Su Yuting tortured to death.
"Is that so?" Zhao Junyue looked coldly at Consort Liu.
"Then I'm even less likely to let you go..."
"Guards! Take action!"
As soon as Zhao Junyue finished speaking, several agile old women walked in from outside the door. Without saying a word, they pressed down on Consort Liu and, ignoring her screams and struggles, quickly pulled out and trimmed her fingernails.
Seeing Consort Liu's face turn pale with pain, and she even fainted from the pain, Zhao Junyue's expression became even colder.
That's how Consort Liu treated his mother back then. His mother was a delicate, dignified, and beautiful woman. How much she must have doted on her!
Although the Second Prince knew that his mother had been reincarnated, he could never forget the harm that Consort Liu had done to his mother.
Although his mother had told him not to seek revenge or live in hatred, some things are not so easy to let go of.
Besides, Consort Liu was not a kind person; many people lost their lives because of her.
Even if it's not to avenge his own mother, Consort Liu cannot be allowed to live.
After Consort Liu's toenails and fingernails were pulled out, the Second Prince waved his hand and said to his confidants...
"Proceed as planned."
The confidante nodded in agreement. Before the old nanny could even wipe the blood off her hands, she took out two more pills and stuffed them into Consort Liu's mouth.
Before Consort Liu could react, the pill had already melted in her mouth.
The confidant then threw in a filthy man....................
Seeing that the people had gone inside, the Second Prince did not linger any longer, since the 50,000-strong army that the Liu family had gathered outside was about to break in.
As the new emperor who has not yet officially ascended the throne, he must now shoulder his responsibilities.
When the Prince of Zhenbei announced the decree, when he first learned of the news, he resisted it.
But he knew Zhou Chengxing was right. If the third prince or someone else had ascended the throne today, they would certainly not have allowed him, the legitimate son of the empress, to live in the world.
His fiancée, his aunt, his uncle...................
Those loyal ministers who support and defend him will not have a good ending...
