Chapter 202 The Third Prince's Downfall
"It's unbearable. I tolerate the third brother's actions again and again, but I never expected that he would collude with people from Beili Kingdom! Xiao Jue, check it out, check it carefully for me! See what this evil son has done that is harmful to the heavens and ruthless! "
The emperor's angry voice echoed in the palace, and outside the palace, a little eunuch shrank and quickly went to the washing room to secretly send a secret letter out.
The third prince Siqi received the letter and was shocked: "It is fake that General Han was injured, no wonder! Now it's over, everything is over!"
The staff beside him frowned and knelt down: "Your Highness, for the sake of this, you can only burn your boat to the fullest!"
Si Qi walked around the room, his eyes were red, his eyes were cold, but there seemed to be a surging of scorching magma. Finally, he stopped, stared at the jade pendant placed on the cabinet on the wall, and stepped forward and pulled it down to the ground. This was once given to him by the emperor when he was young.
"Although the people of the Nine Gate Admiral have changed, they have also left a lot of eyeliners in the past two years. Tonight, they will close the city gate." The third prince ordered coldly: "It is better not to be late. The Beijing Imperial Guard will let them take action tonight."
The expression on the aide's face was stirring, and he whispered: "I will arrange it now."
Si Qi looked in the direction of the palace, his eyes gradually calmed down. His father was old and it was time to abdicate and rest.
In the palace, after hearing the news brought by his confidant, the emperor waved his hand expressionlessly and signaled him to retreat first.
"Xiao Jue, can you make a good response?" the emperor asked coldly.
Xiao Jue knelt on the ground: "When King Li sent his ministers back, he had ordered three thousand troops to be stationed outside the city."
"Very good." The emperor's eyes darkened and he was quietly waiting for the night to come. He was originally thinking about the father-son relationship and was only going to send Si Qi to the fiefdom and stay away from the capital. Unexpectedly, his son was more cruel than him.
It's really old and I've lost my previous killing decision.
"Emperor, the Empress is here and said that she had stewed warm and tonic soup for you. Do you want Empress Xuan to come in?" The eunuch general manager walked in and asked softly.
The emperor shook his head: "Let her go back and stay in Kunning Palace."
"Yes, the emperor."
The emperor directly shut down everyone and reviewed the memorials in Yangxin Hall.
At night, there was a sound of fighting at the palace gate. Not long after, the third prince Siqi walked in from outside the hall. He was wearing armor and carrying a sword. His armor and sword were stained with blood, and he dripped all over the ground as he walked into it.
"Father, let's go to the palace to rest in the future. These memorials will be handed over to the children." The third prince said, looking at the emperor's position, his face was full of desire that he had never dared to express before.
The emperor slowly put down his pen, stared at him and asked in a deep voice: "Why?"
"Father, now I ask what the meaning of this is." Si Qi's eyes jumped in crazy and excited: "You should write an edict to pass the throne to me."
The emperor did not move, but just looked at him quietly.
Si Qi sneered: "Is Father waiting for General Xiao Jue to bring troops to save you? You are afraid that they can't even enter the city gate. People are coming!"
With his order, a group of guards in iron armor entered one after another, and their leather boots stepped on the ground to shake up the dust in the air.
"Father, what are you waiting for?" Si Qi shouted angrily!
"Brother, don't be angry." The sixth prince walked in with a smile: "How can you accomplish such a big deal if you are so impatient?"
Si Qi was stunned: "Why are you here!"
As he said that, he seemed to realize something and turned to look at the guard behind him.
The commander of the Imperial Guard made a gesture, and two rows of people immediately surrounded the third prince in the middle, aiming the sharp sword tip at him. Si Qi looked at all this, and showed an incredible look on his face. Then he lowered his head and smiled, and slid weakly to the ground.
In Kunning Palace, the queen knelt in front of the Bodhisattva statue. The string of Buddhist beads in her hand suddenly broke. She felt a bad premonition in her heart. The palace maid happened to knock on the door: "Empress, the imperial concubine is here."
"Let her come in." The queen stood up, feeling a little sore and soft on her knees, and couldn't help but laugh at herself.
When the imperial concubine walked in, the dim room seemed to be a little brighter. She was wearing a long skirt with gold scattered scattered silk and a gold hairpin with timber inlaid gems. Her starry eyes were clear and charming and dignified. The bright smile on her face formed a sharp contrast with the queen.
"Sister, why don't you go to the front hall to take a look?" The imperial concubine covered her mouth and chuckled.
The queen had a gloomy face and endured the fishy smell in her throat: "It's so late, my sister doesn't rest, but I am going to sleep. What are you going to do when I run to the front hall?"
"Sister, don't you think you can escape by pretending to be stupid, do you?" The imperial concubine widened her eyes and blinked, without any concealment of the mockery in her eyes.
The queen casually stroked the silk, her sharp fingers shining with a dark yellow light: "If you have nothing to do, just step down first."
The imperial concubine couldn't help but clap her hands: "The Empress is so calm. But should we settle the grudges of the past, now?"
"Reckoning?" A smile appeared on the queen's lips. She looked up at the imperial concubine's gaze: "Do you think you will be fine if you win this palace and you will sit firmly in the high position? I will tell you that you are too happy too early!"
The imperial concubine's eyes flashed: "Why do you have to say this to the Queen? It's just that you have to hold on to King Li and the Han Mansion, and even collude with Beili Kingdom. Such sins are not worthy of death. To this point, it is all your fault. The Empress should cherish the opportunity to stand here and speak."
"Yes, why did I have to keep an eye on King Li? Don't the Concubine want to know?"
"Isn't it just that the military power in King Li's hands is biased towards my son." The imperial concubine smiled coldly: "When my niece got engaged with King Li, you were instructing Princess Jing'an to kill her. Do you think I know nothing about the things you did? You made Jing'an kill so many people, what's the use of the end?"
"Yes, useless..." The queen raised her head, tears slid from her cheeks to her neck, hiding in the bright red palace costume.
The imperial concubine remembered that she had been plotted against by the queen for so many years, and did not want to talk nonsense to her anymore, so she asked someone to come in and suppress the queen.
The queen was not pricked. She smiled and looked at the imperial concubine, her eyes full of crazy and broken obsessions: "You idiot, you don't know anything at all. I have been planning for many years and can't compare to it. I am waiting for you to come and be with me, hahaha!"
"What?" The imperial concubine was stunned, not hearing what the queen was talking about behind her.
But the queen just smiled, and the pale smile made the imperial concubine feel a little panic unconsciously.
The queen was dragged down.
On the second day, the emperor issued a direct order to demote the third prince to a commoner, exiled to Qianzhou, deposed the queen and sent it to the cold palace, and ordered the Minister of Justice to strictly investigate the queen's clan and question the law.
For a time, many people in the court who were related to the third prince and the queen were dismissed and investigated.
