Chapter 562 Another day of missing my little apprentice
"What did you say, you dog slave?"
Don't think you can kick me while I'm down just because I'm in trouble now. I think you're asking for death!
As the third prince spoke, he broke free from the guards who were restraining him and rushed directly to the eunuch, intending to kill him.
Zhao Junyue raised his hand to signal the guards, who quickly went over and pulled the Third Prince away.
"Third brother, why are you in such a hurry?"
Let's go and see if what this little eunuch is saying is true or false.
As Zhao Junyue spoke, he looked at the assembled ministers.
"I heard that the ladies have also come to the palace today. I imagine you gentlemen are quite worried. If you don't mind, you can all come together."
After Zhao Junyue finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the inner palace. The guards escorted the Third Prince and followed behind him, walking together with the ministers.
Because he was worried about Ning Bao and Su Jing Shu, Zhou Chengxing immediately handed over the task of capturing the rebels to Shen Muyang upon seeing him, and then headed towards the inner palace.
Halfway there, Zhou Chengxing saw Zhao Junyue, so he quickly followed behind them.
At this moment, the sounds of men and women could still be heard continuously coming from inside Consort Liu's palace.
Unmarried girls like Ning Bao and Li Ying were all relegated to the side hall.
When Zhao Junyue arrived, the room was still bustling with activity. He quietly opened a small porcelain bottle, flicked out some medicinal powder, and then had several old nannies go in to separate Consort Liu from the naked man.
Consort Liu, regaining her senses, collapsed to the ground, her face filled with despair.
"Zhao Junyue, you are so cruel!"
...................
The Emperor learned of the incident involving Consort Liu immediately. He closed his eyes helplessly and gave a few instructions to the eunuch beside him.
Not long after, Consort Liu was stripped of her title and banished to the Cold Palace, while the Third Prince and all his concubines were also imprisoned.
With the downfall of the Liu family and the imprisonment of the third prince, Consort Liu, confined to the cold palace, was completely left unattended.
The wounds on her body from when her fingernails were pulled out have never been treated. These wounds would probably be minor injuries to others.
But for a noble concubine who has always been treated with the highest honors, this would be extremely difficult.
Furthermore, with no servants to attend to her in the Cold Palace, news spread within three days that Consort Liu had gone mad.
Ning Bao and Su Jing Shu returned to the mansion late at night that day, while Zhou Cheng Xing had not returned home for three consecutive days.
He didn't return home, exhausted, until the evening of the third day. After washing up, Zhou Chengxing felt much more refreshed. After dinner, Zhou Chengxing looked at Su Jingshu and Ning Bao...
"The new emperor is really good. Some of the old ministers didn't think much of him before."
After all, he had been imprisoned for many years, and everyone thought he only knew martial arts and had no understanding of national policy. But these past few days, seeing him handle state affairs in an orderly and decisive manner, he is clearly a qualified ruler.
Su Jingshu sighed softly.
"Now Her Majesty the Empress can finally rest easy."
My lord, the imperial edict of succession has been issued, but has it been announced when the new emperor will ascend the throne?
As for the old emperor…”
"The old emperor was almost driven to his death by anger after the incident with the imperial concubine. It was the new emperor who invited Bai Ming into the palace and stabilized the situation."
The new emperor's intention is to let the old emperor live a few more days, as he is currently very busy with his coronation and wedding and has no time to hold a state mourning ceremony.
However, the date of his ascension to the throne has not yet been set...
Zhou Chengxing glanced at Ning Bao.
"Someone will come to take you to the palace later. The new emperor wants you to decide the date of his ascension to the throne. He doesn't trust the people in the Imperial Observatory."
Ning Bao was stunned for a moment, and before Ning Bao could speak, Su Jing Shu said anxiously,
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
How could such an important event as the coronation ceremony not be entrusted to the Imperial Observatory?
