Half a month later, when the old emperor came to Chaoyun Palace, Mu Qingchao coughed through the window.
"Ahem..."
"Your Majesty, I am infected with... a cough cough... wind and cold. I am afraid that the disease will be passed on to Your Majesty, so I am afraid that I will not be able to serve you."
When the old emperor lived to this age, what he cherished most was his own body. He shook his head and could only go back.
That night, news came out from Fulin Palace.
The emperor passed away...
On the night of the emperor's death, the entire palace shouted to kill Zhentian.
The third prince led his troops to surround Fulin Palace and held all the princes and concubines hostage. They kept the funeral secret and planned to establish their own posthumous edict.
The fifth prince joined forces with the foreign ministers in the palace and led troops from the north gate to capture the third prince.
The eldest prince entered through the main gate of Li, with the name of "catching the traitors and clearing the emperor's side".
…………
Several parties competed, the sounds of fighting, screams, crying, quarreling, and smashing... all mixed together.
The fire was soaring into the sky outside, and the blood dyed the snowflakes in the sky red. The fire was soaring into the sky, and the thick smoke covered the sky and covered the sky like the sun.
Mu Qingchao knew early in the morning that he would inevitably be placed under house arrest if he went to Fulin Palace, so he hid in Chaoyun Palace claiming to be ill.
Even if I live a new life, I still feel scared when I hear those shouts of killing outside. If I listen carefully, I can still hear the sounds of knives piercing flesh, intestines being torn, and blood gushing out.
She and several maids turned out the lights, nestled in the bed, and covered their ears.
I felt sad again.
She lost her father when she was young, and her mother took all her wealth, a younger brother, two concubines, and an aunt to seek refuge with her maternal grandfather.
My maternal grandfather's family treated them badly, my mother was weak, and I was young at the time, so I had no choice but to let them manipulate me. They almost defrauded me of all my family property, and I was teased and teased by several cousins.
Even later, her cousin was afraid that her appearance would rob her of a good marriage, so she negotiated with the fifth prince to send her to the palace. For the sake of the family's honor and disgrace, her grandmother turned a blind eye and pushed her along.
Say a word for her.
Grandma naturally had a good plan.
With Mu Qingchao's appearance, she must be favored when she enters the palace. Shen Muchi sent her there. She will be able to help Shen Muchi when the time comes. After she helps Shen Muchi seize the throne, she will send her own granddaughter to him.
Entering the palace, she became the Queen of Nanming, and her mother honored the world.
By then, all the glory and wealth will belong to their Zhong family.
In the Mu Qing Dynasty, the reputation of a witchy concubine was enough for her to be punished.
In the previous life, they did exactly that.
At that time, Mu Qingchao was very angry.
My father was once a third-grade imperial censor, and my ancestors even earned a lot of family property, but they were all coaxed and deceived by my grandfather's family.
They want money for money, and fields for fields.
Whatever they said, my mother never responded. She just thought that since the women and children had no one to rely on, Mu Qing's future marriages would still have to be decided by his maternal grandfather's family.
The uncle was walking around in the court, serving as chief minister and serving as a highly respected minister. There were many princes, grandsons and young men around him. He naturally thought that they would pay more attention to help Mu Qing find a good marriage.
A mother's greatest wish is nothing more than this.
However, the mother's only wish came to nothing, and what she got in exchange was that she was sent to the palace to stay with a dying old man, becoming a stepping stone for them to ascend to the top of the Zhong family.
On the day he entered the palace, Mu Qingchao and his mother held their heads and cried. At that time, she wished she could eat the flesh of her grandfather's family alive and drink their blood.
But now that I think about it, I feel that I was so stupid.
Look at the royal family, brothers can fight each other and kill each other. How could she feel that her uncles and aunts were sincere to her?
How could she place her hopes on a grandmother who was not related to her by blood?
You deserve everything.
It finally dawned.
The shouts of killing gradually stopped.
Qiangwei calmed down, got up and went out to see the situation.
"ah……"
Not long after, a shrill scream came from outside the palace.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
When the people in the palace heard the sound, they went out to see it, but their faces suddenly turned pale.
I saw blood flowing across the door and condensing into ice. As I passed by Chaoyun Palace, I couldn't see the end. On the trees at the door, there were blood-colored ice crystals hanging upside down.
Several palace people were lying in front of the door. Their stomachs were stabbed with knives, and their intestines and internal organs were bleeding all over the floor. They were also frozen into ice and were half covered by the heavy snow.
There were bloody handprints on the palace door. Apparently they tried to knock on the door last night, but were killed from behind.
There is still a burning smell in the air that lingers for a long time.
"Well……"
Chunya finally couldn't help it, leaned against the tree and vomited loudly.
She finally understood why the empress asked them to nail the door shut last night. If these people really pushed the door in, none of them would survive.
Fortunately, fortunately, they turned off the lights and pretended that no one was there, and sealed the door, so they escaped.
Even though he had seen it once, Mu Qingchao was still frightened.
After a moment of regaining consciousness, he said to Qiangwei: "Go out and inquire about the situation."
Within two hours, Qiangwei came back.
"I have found out everything clearly." Qiangwei said: "I heard that the fifth prince successfully captured the 'thief' with the support of the chief minister and all the ministers last night."
It's funny to say that the once noble Tianhuang nobleman turned into a thief overnight.
"Princess Zhenguo also came forward to testify, saying that the late emperor had entrusted her with the edict when he was still alive. It was clearly written in the edict that it was passed down to His Highness the Fifth Prince." Qiangwei continued.
This is even more nonsense.
Even though the late emperor had a deep relationship with the princess of Zhenguo, why did he hand over a legacy to a princess?
It's a pity that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Those who have objections to this have died last night. Shen Muchi has already ascended the throne before his death, and he will choose a day to ascend the throne soon.
It's really exactly the same as in the last life.
Qiangwei said in shock: "Many people died last night. In Fulin Palace, the concubines were locked up with some underage princes and princesses. Some of the disobedient ones were killed directly.
Concubine Shu from Lingxi Palace, Wan Guiren from Xiaotangxuan, and the little princess Linglong are all dead."
These people could still be seen in the palace a few days ago, and they were still very alive at that time.
Chun Ya was timid, and when she heard this, her face that had just recovered turned pale again.
After a moment, he secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, the empress had some foresight and allowed us to save our lives. If we survive the catastrophe, we will be lucky in the future."
"Will there be good fortune later?"
When Mu Qingchao heard this, he sighed: "The more difficult part is still to come."
Before Chunya's smile reached the corners of her mouth, she gradually stiffened when she heard Mu Qingchao's abrupt words.
"The palace chaos is over. Why do you say that?"
Why do you say that?
Mu Qingchao didn't need to answer. A few days later, he had the answer.
In the harem of the former dynasty, people began to request letters to "kill the demon concubine"!
Of course, the demon concubine is Mu Qingchao.
This life is a little different from the previous one. This time the late emperor did not die in her room after all. The people and officials were more tolerant towards her. There was not as much resentment as in the previous life.
So this time, the first person to jump out was Mu Qingchao’s good uncle...
Zhong Ming, the chief minister who holds all the power in the government and has the ability to follow the dragon.
Whether it is life or death can only now be revealed.
