Emperor Yan fell to the ground, twitching all over.
Seeing this, Duan Rongshi just closed his eyes lightly, and did not move forward. Instead, he took a few steps back.
"The Crown Prince colluded with a cult to commit treason and was killed by the rebels on the city wall."
"Your Majesty is deeply distressed and has suddenly developed a hemiplegia."
"Come here, quickly send His Majesty back to the palace to call the imperial physician, and then invite Imperial Master Yunhe into the palace to examine His Majesty."
Imperial Guards: "Yes! We obey your orders!"
The Beitu army followed into the city.
The west city gate was quickly cleaned up.
In less than half a day, there was no trace of blood on the street.
Li Qingluo watched from a distance, and his heart gradually calmed down.
Zhuiyu changed her clothes and came over.
"Miss, if there is nothing else, I will go to see His Highness first."
Li Qingluo suddenly became curious and turned to ask Zhuiyu, "What happened to the Crown Prince five years ago?"
"Why is it so taboo that no one ever mentions it?"
Li Qingluo could ask his grandmother.
But she felt that Zhuiyu must know more than her grandmother or even Uncle De, and in more detail.
So today I just want to ask clearly.
And as far as she knew, this matter was actually planned by the Pei family.
Five years ago, the old Duke had not yet been controlled by Zulia, so he was still thinking of using his power to cause turmoil in the Duan Dynasty.
As a result, not only did they bring the prince to Nangong Villa, they also took the opportunity to send Pei Jingzhe to the military camp.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhuiyu's face.
He stammered, "Your Majesty was in bed with the illegitimate cousin of the Empress's mother's family, the Gao family, and her...fifteen-year-old daughter."
"Ahem... The prince rushed in with a sword and killed them both in the Purple Palace."
"Your Majesty was so frightened that his whole body was paralyzed."
"When you wake up, you will be wrathful like thunder."
Li Qingluo was shocked.
Then a wave of nausea surged in my heart.
This Emperor Yan is the most damnable bastard!
The Pei family was also capable, able to push the prince to kill someone with a sword in front of the emperor. I don't know what kind of efforts they made in private.
However, in Li Qingluo's opinion, the prince did nothing wrong in this matter.
His only mistake was that he killed someone with a sword in front of the emperor.
I'm afraid that Emperor Yan thought he was going to kill the king at that time.
That's why he deposed the crown prince and imprisoned him in the Nanshan Villa.
But then he might have felt regretful, so he turned around and used the Lotus Sect to restore the prince to the throne.
As for whether Emperor Yan knew that the person behind the Lotus Cult was Zong Zheng Yu'er, and that Zong Zheng Yu'er was supporting the Crown Prince...
This matter is hard to explain.
"Why would the Royal Guards help His Highness?"
Li Qingluo was very surprised just now.
I thought Duan Rongshi would have another fierce battle with the Imperial Guards.
As a result, in front of Emperor Yan, the Imperial Guards openly disobeyed the imperial order.
If Emperor Yan could regain control of government and power, wouldn't the entire Imperial Guard be afraid?
Zhui Yu: "Your Highness was the one who pushed Xia Duo, the commander of the Imperial Guard, into the position behind the scenes."
"Over the past few years, Xia Duo has always been His Highness's most profound chess move. He will not reveal himself to the world until the very last moment."
"Do you know why, girl?"
"Because Xia Duo's biological mother is from Chu."
"Back then, his mother was also the first maiden that the Imperial Concubine allowed out of the palace to get married."
"After the Imperial Concubine passed away, the senior palace maid took Xia Duo and disappeared to Jinling. From then on, she disappeared without a trace, hiding her identity."
"Miss, although the Imperial Guard only obeys His Majesty's orders, this commander is not necessarily His Majesty's true confidant."
"Five years ago, after the Crown Prince's accident, the Emperor intended to vent his anger by killing several of the Imperial Guards who were on duty that day, and to take the blame for the Crown Prince's sword-wielding entry into the Purple Palace."
"It was our Highness who secretly took action and rescued those guards."
"Now they are all in the Beitu Army."
Li Qingluo understood completely.
It turns out that Duan Rongshi has been playing chess for so many years.
After Zhui Yu left, she looked up at the dark sky.
The rain didn't come for a long time.
The rolling dark clouds seemed to be about to fall to the ground.
However, apart from turning the sky pitch black, there was still no movement.
On that day, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace and the Crown Prince's followers were all quickly captured.
Minister Qu was also imprisoned.
Most of the other court officials who usually followed him in and out of the Eastern Palace were also arrested overnight.
The entire Jinling was in a precarious situation...
Overnight, the imperial city of Jinling City has completely changed.
"Girl, are you ready to go to bed?"
Que'er and Cui'er came in with lights, helped Li Qingluo take a bath, and then helped her to the bed.
Li Qingluo was indeed drowsy.
She leaned her head against the bed, almost unable to open her eyes.
But I’m afraid that if she falls asleep, she won’t know when she will wake up.
"No hurry, let Madam Zheng come in first. I have something to ask her."
"Que'er. You've been tired for several days. Go down and rest."
When Nanny Zheng came in, Li Qingluo was the only one in the room.
Nanny Zheng knew what Li Qingluo wanted to know, so she hurried over and said, "Young lady, the palace has reported that Empress Gao went crazy in Fengqi Palace after learning of the Crown Prince's death. I heard she even vomited blood."
"The Purple Palace and Fengqi Palace are both packed with imperial doctors, and they're all very busy."
Li Qingluo: "All the concubines in the palace are in danger now. Those who killed Concubine Yue back then must be extremely scared now."
