Chapter 182 Are there any of your accomplices in the palace?

The Imperial Preceptor's people carried her back to the room, and he walked straight over and stood in front of the concubine: "The concubine is a sensible person. Please give more advice to King Nan. This matter was ordered by the emperor and he cannot stop it."

The concubine said gloomily: "Aren't you afraid of retribution for everything you do?"

"If there is retribution, those who have done evil before me should have received retribution long ago." It means God is unfair.

The concubine watched him leave and ordered her servants to carry him back to the house. The doctor came to see him and only said that he was suffering from the heat and had a good rest. There was nothing serious.

The concubine stood by the bed and looked at him for a long time. He looked so infatuated and unrepentant. He really looked like the old prince. He was truly a father and son.

In the dead of night, the concubine took people to his cemetery. When he died, he was accused of colluding with the enemy. He was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum, so he had to find another place to bury his body.

Mammy saw that she actually made such a concession: "Toffee."

When the concubine came back to her senses, she found that her eyes were moist. She waved her hand and said, "Open the coffin."

Mammy looked at the servant and nodded. The servant had a shovel in his hand and began to dig the soil. The concubine looked at the shovelful of soil and couldn't help but grab the flesh of her chest, as if the pain and sorrow at that moment were still there.

Grandma walked over to support her, and she turned her head sideways, closing her eyes tightly and refusing to face it.

The servants inserted the shovel into the cracks in the coffin lid and pried it open bit by bit to expose some cracks. They saw light coming from inside.

When the coffin was halfway opened, they saw a lot of funerary objects inside, and everyone's eyes lit up.

But when they actually opened it, they found two people lying in the coffin. One was the prince. Who was the other woman?

They entered the mansion later and didn't know that the prince was having an affair. When she saw that they were still looking at them, she spoke.

"Get the prince's jade pendant."

The person in the coffin is already a skeleton, and their original appearance cannot be seen, and they cannot get a piece of gossip.

When he heard the voice, he suddenly came back to his senses, reached out and took away the jade pendant that was placed in the prince's hand. Holding the jade pendant in both hands, he walked to the concubine and offered it to her with both hands.

The concubine took the jade pendant and glanced over there out of the corner of her eye. The past was dusty for him, but it was still vivid for her.

Sometimes she even fantasizes about whether the prince would have ended up like this if he had not been successful in everything.

Mammy ordered: "Restore the coffin to its original state."

The servants worked together to close the coffin, shovel dirt on it, and restore the grave to its original state. They were about to go back with the shovel when a man in black flew down from the tree.

The moment the man in black pulled out his sword, the servant closest to him had a scratch on his neck and blood was oozing out.

His pupils dilated and he covered his neck with both hands. After a while, he fell to the ground and died. The man in black pointed his sword at the rest of the people.

The servants immediately realized that the concubine had already known the secret of the coffin, and accidentally broke it open by them, intending to kill someone and silence her. They immediately knelt on the ground and begged.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't see anything. I really didn't see anything."

The concubine winked at the secret guards. The necks of these people were all scratched. They all fell to the ground, and the old prince's grave was soaked with blood.

She glanced at the tombstone and said calmly: "The person has been dealt with cleanly."

"Yes, Princess."

Mammy followed behind her: "Toffee, do you want to send the jade pendant to the palace now?"

"The people in the palace are notoriously dishonest, so naturally I have to hand over this jade pendant in front of everyone, so that the emperor will not regret it."

"It's getting late, Princess. Let's go back and rest first."

"Yes." The concubine put her hand on the back of her hand and walked back slowly. She was really tired from working tonight.

royal palace

When the emperor saw that most of the palace people had dispersed outside the door, he pushed open the darkroom door with a whip and a candlestick in hand. The darkroom was really too dark, and even a little bit of light would make his eyes uncomfortable.

Guandi closed his eyes tightly, then opened them little by little, and saw the person clearly through the candlelight. He begged: "Your Majesty, I am really unjust."

The emperor's face turned gloomy, and he raised the whip in his hand: "Tell me, are there any of your accomplices in the palace?"

Guan Di kept shaking his head: "Your Majesty, I really didn't kill anyone. I don't have any accomplices at all."

The emperor got angry and gave him a few whips, and then pointed the whip at him: "Do you think that if you people from the Phoenix tribe sneak into the palace, I can't do anything to you?

This dragon chair belongs to me, and none of you can take it away. If the people of the Phoenix clan come and kill each one, I will not be afraid. My father can destroy your clan, but if you get involved and come back, I can destroy you again."

The emperor raised his whip and struck him repeatedly until he was exhausted. The emperor's hair was somewhat disheveled, and he leaned against the wall, staring at Guandi, who was covered in blood.

"Sooner or later, I will kill all of you Phoenix Clan people."

Guan Di smiled sarcastically: "The emperor of Dashuo has become so stupid that the country will be destroyed sooner or later. God will destroy Dashuo."

When the emperor saw that he was talking nonsense, he wanted to stop, but then he raised his whip and hit him with all his strength.

"This great country belongs to me, and no one can take it away, not even God."

Guan Di fainted instantly, and it wasn't until the sound stopped in the dark room for a long time that he slowly regained his senses.

He threw away the whip in his hand and walked out of the dark room with his shoulders on his shoulders. His father-in-law came in with the ginseng soup that the queen mother had ordered the imperial kitchen to cook. He saw that the emperor's dragon robe was stained with some blood and his hair was a little messy.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

He held the table with both hands, stepped heavily on the steps, sat heavily on the dragon chair, and placed his hands on the dragon head.

"He has already recruited him. Deal with him cleanly and tell the Imperial Master that his eldest disciple is trying to assassinate me. Kill him."

The father-in-law asked: "Are the matters concerning the Phoenix Clan still under investigation?"

The emperor pressed his hands on his temples, unable to hide his tiredness: "We'll talk about the sacrifice to heaven after we've finished."

The father-in-law brought him ginseng soup: "Your Majesty, do you need to go to any palace to rest?"

Those women were just given to him by various ministers as a means to consolidate his political status. No matter which one he favored, he would offend others.

He hasn't figured out how to deal with these women yet. Just the fact that people from the Phoenix Clan are lurking around him is enough to make him anxious.

"I will rest in the imperial study tonight." He picked up the ginseng soup and took a sip.

The father-in-law advised: "Your Majesty, you can't keep running away like this. The Queen Mother is pressing hard."

"Are you listening to me or the Queen Mother? I am the ruler of Dashuo Country."

The father-in-law hurriedly knelt on the ground: "It was my slave who overstepped his bounds."

The emperor took a few sips of the ginseng soup, then put the cup down and leaned aside to rest.

When the father-in-law saw that he was asleep, he immediately packed up the cups and left the imperial study.

The Queen Mother learned that he still did not favor his concubine. Isn't that ridiculous? When the matter of worshiping heaven is over, she must talk to him well.

In the early morning, after being force-fed a bowl of medicine, she felt much better. As soon as she could sit down, the palace maid came in with a basin.
