Chapter 464 The Dust Settles
"emperor……"
"The Emperor has passed away..."
A shrill voice came from the bedroom.
The sound was not loud, but it was particularly harsh amid the clashing of swords.
Everyone present was stunned.
After realizing what was happening, Prince Chen went on a killing spree like a madman, even killing all the ministers and eunuchs.
Anyway, he has already been charged with the crime of regicide and patricide, so he has to make it come true, otherwise it would be too unfair to the person who planned it so painstakingly.
He wiped the blood off his face and gave a creepy smile.
He rushed out with a sword, killing... killing...
He wanted to kill all of them, leaving no one alive, and even wanted to kill Yuqing and the woman who betrayed him.
None of them will die a good death.
Crazy, King Chen is crazy.
The ministers fled in panic. They wanted to escape, but they couldn't.
There are swords and sabers everywhere, and escaping means death.
But there were still a few who didn't believe it and escaped.
For example, Lord Zhou was chopped to death just after he escaped, and it was Prince Chen who chopped him to death himself. Blood splattered, splashing onto the flowers and plants beside him and flying onto their faces.
madman!
Prince Chen is truly a madman.
They must have been blind before to be deceived by such a cruel person who collaborated with the enemy, betrayed his country, killed his father and his king.
It would be disastrous if such a person ascended to the throne one day.
Prince Jing and Princess Yuqing didn't care about anything else. When they heard the emperor's death, they rushed into the inner hall.
Zhenfei and the palace maids and eunuchs were so scared that they hid in the corner.
Lying on the recliner, the emperor was bleeding from all seven orifices, even his skin was bleeding, it was horrifying.
The two looked stunned.
Princess Yuqing has examined it. The wound is very deep, but it does not hurt the vital parts. The emperor should not die so soon.
How could he die like this?
And he died in such a horrible way.
This must be due to evil spirits.
But when they saw the medicine bottle and red pill rolling out of their father's hands, they understood instantly.
Miaomiao said that eating too much of this thing would cause chronic poisoning and increase blood flow, but there was no evidence to support this, so who would dare to stop him from eating it?
I think it's the pill that caused the problem.
My father was already seriously injured and bleeding profusely. Now eating this stuff is just adding insult to injury and accelerating the bleeding.
This is just asking for trouble.
Seeing the two masters' extremely unhappy expressions, Concubine Zhengui was afraid that they would misunderstand and take their anger out on others, so she hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, it was the Emperor who insisted on taking the elixir himself, and we didn't stop him..."
The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and trembled.
They were really afraid that if the emperor died, no matter what the reason, it would be because they failed to protect him and according to the rules they would be held accountable or buried with him.
It was not until they heard the princess' words that they felt reborn.
Concubine Zhengui also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't blame you. This is father's fate." Princess Yuqing glanced at them, unable to hide the bitterness in her heart.
Although her father was a bastard, he loved her after all.
Looking at the way he died, I couldn't hold back my tears any longer.
King Jing showed neither sadness nor joy on his face.
He simply asked, "Did Father say anything before he died?"
Concubine Zhen pursed her lips and said cautiously, "The Emperor said... that the Empress should be buried with him, and the Imperial Seal will appear on the day of the funeral."
The emperor was really mean. He wanted to drag others to be buried with him after his death. Fortunately, he didn't ask his favorite concubine to be buried with him.
But she was still panicking.
Previously, when I was playing chess and chatting with Princess Mingzhu, she once said that history books recorded that in most cases, the favorite concubines did not end up well. Many of them would be labeled as evil concubines who brought disaster to the country, executed, and reviled by the world.
There was once an emperor who clearly liked to eat lychees, but he insisted that it was his favorite concubine who liked to eat them. He wasted a lot of money and effort and transported fresh lychees from thousands of miles away.
As a result, it was the favored concubine who was reviled by later generations, who said she was extravagant and a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country.
When disaster struck, he was hanged to appease the public anger.
At that time, she just thought the little girl was referring to her.
Because that's what the emperor did. He obviously liked to raise cats and collect famous cats from all over the world.
But she insisted that she liked it.
Many rare cats were presented from all over the country for this purpose.
Although the speaker did not mean it, the listener took it to heart, and she took the little girl's words to heart.
So she finally chose to surrender to Princess Yuqing.
She was a favorite concubine, but she had never done anything to harm the country or the people. However, she was still afraid.
Princess Yuqing was afraid that she would become useless and would abandon her.
The royal family is terrible.
Princess Yuqing swept away her previous sadness and looked at her in shock: "Buried with her?"
"You said that the Emperor wanted the Empress to be buried with him?"
King Jing sneered, "Father is truly heartless. Even after his death, he refused to let Mother go, and he still wants to play tricks on her."
Good, very good.
Don't think that he can't find it just because your father doesn't hand over the imperial seal.
There are always some clues.
King Jing glanced at everyone in the room, and a sense of pressure came over him: "No one is allowed to reveal my father's last words."
…
The fighting outside the door stopped, and Mu Yunji took down King Chen without any effort.
The winner takes all.
Prince Chen admitted it, but remained arrogant.
"Mu Yunji, even if you beat me, it doesn't matter. Your mother, your sister, your nephew, and your newborn niece are all in my hands. If I die, they will be buried with me..."
"Beast." Mu Yunji threw a punch.
Several of King Chen's teeth were knocked out in an instant and were spat out along with blood.
Before he could recover, King Jing punched him in the stomach several more times.
King Jing grabbed him by the collar and said, "If you dare to touch them, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death. Don't forget that your mother is still in the Dali Temple."
Prince Chen frowned slightly, then smiled again for a moment, "Her life or death is none of my business. If she hadn't been born of humble origins and given birth to me, how could I have been born in this cannibalistic place, abandoned by my father, and subjected to so much bullying? All my misfortunes were caused by my mother. Do you think I should be grateful to her?"
"You are truly a good son to our father." So ruthless and vicious.
King Jing really wanted to kill him with a knife, but was stopped by Mu Yunji.
"Your Highness, you cannot bear the infamy of being a fratricidal person. Hand him over to the Dali Temple."
King Jing didn't want to continue talking and wanted to leave.
He was eager to go home and wished he could fly to the Mu Mansion to see his wife and daughter right away. Although he had left a lot of people with them, he was still worried.
Mu Yunji grabbed his arm and looked at the bedroom door. "Your Highness, you can't leave. You have to stay and take charge of the situation. I'll go back and make sure they're safe."
King Jing understood what he meant.
He gritted his teeth and bowed, "Brother, I leave Xue'er and the child to you."
Mu Yunji patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, they will be fine."
At the gate of the Mu Mansion.
The place was full of people, a sea of black.
It also stinks.
The two sides confronted each other, and neither dared to act rashly.
