Steel Dynasty - Chapter 517

[Chapter 517 Confinement]

The atmosphere in Bishui Pavilion was so oppressive that it seemed difficult to breathe.

Liuli supported Concubine Zhen outside the inner hall, and the conversation in the inner hall fell into their ears word for word. In shock, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Zhen could hardly stand still.

In the inner hall, the prince’s face was distorted: “Father, you are so cruel. I have been this prince for thirty years, and you are still thinking of deposing me. I should have believed my grandfather’s words a long time ago, and I don’t As for waiting until today.”

“Bastard!” Queen Zhao’s body trembled with anger, and she raised her hand to slap the prince.

The prince instantly grabbed Queen Zhao’s hand. He pushed Queen Zhao back angrily, and Queen Zhao fell to the ground. He sneered and said: “From now on, none of you can order me. This country of Chongqing is Oh my, I am the future emperor!”

“The traitor!” Xiao Wenxuan coughed violently, his face turning red.

The prince looked at Xiao Wenxuan and suddenly laughed mischievously. He said: “Father, don’t you want to know the truth? Erchen will tell you the truth. You guessed it right. The poison was given by Erchen to Wang Xi. This poison It is a chronic poison that will cause the body to collapse over time. But don’t worry, you can’t die now. After all, you are still useful. When I have eradicated all other forces in Chang’an City, you can die. “

Also, don’t you want to know where Feng Deshui went?” The prince suddenly said viciously: “I chopped him into pieces and fed them to the dogs, hahaha!”

“Xiao Wenxuan!” He struggled to get up, but his body was too weak to get up. He was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Your Majesty!” Queen Zhao said in shock.

The prince looked at Xiao Wenxuan with a sneer. He looked around the Bishui Pavilion and then said: “Father, you can rest assured to recuperate here in the Bishui Pavilion. From today on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Bishui Pavilion without my order.” After

a pause .

After a moment, he looked at Empress Zhao: “Mother, if you support my son, the position of the Empress Dowager will still be yours in the future, and my son will forget the blame. If you are as stubborn as my father, don’t blame my son for being unfilial. “You are such a traitor!

“

Empress Zhao lay on Xiao Wenxuan and cried bitterly.

But when he made eye contact with Xiao Wenxuan, he saw that familiar look.

For a moment, she suddenly stopped crying and said: “Now that the overall situation has been decided, what other options do I have? I just hope that you can save your brother’s life.”

“So the queen mother supports her son.” The prince said softly laughed.

Queen Zhao nodded with difficulty.

The prince was overjoyed and said: “In that case, the queen mother should return to the palace. This place should be left to him and Xiao Ming’s humble mother-in-law.”

Queen Zhao looked back at Xiao Wenxuan again, then she turned around without hesitation and walked outside.

The prince sneered at Xiao Wenxuan and Wang Xi followed Empress Zhao away. Passing by Concubine Zhen, the prince said teasingly: “Concubine Zhen, don’t be afraid. You are of great use. I only count on you to let Xiao Ming enter Chang’an.” “You’re dreaming

!

” Concubine Zhen raised her eyebrows and spat.

The prince didn’t take it seriously. He was now very proud and smiled proudly. He said: “I will let you see Xiao Ming die in my hands.”

After that, he said to the guards outside the Bishui Pavilion: “From now on Just give them some light food from today. If I see a piece of meat in their food, I will chop off your heads.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” the guards said tremblingly.

Nodding with satisfaction, the prince looked at Du Heng who was standing outside the door. He said, “General Du, I leave the safety of this palace to you.”

“Don’t worry, your highness, there is a mouse hole somewhere in this palace .”

The general knows everything and there will be no mistakes,” Du Heng said loudly.

The prince nodded with satisfaction, and then he and Wang Xi walked out of the palace.

As he walked out, Wang Xi looked back at Du Heng and said to the prince: “Your Highness, I still feel uneasy with Du Heng. This Du Heng has always been loyal to Your Majesty and has a close relationship with King Qi. His son Du Boyuan and Xiao Ming are close friends. If he is asked to monitor the emperor, he is afraid that something will go wrong. “

“Shilang Wang is thinking too much. This Yang Zhen is also a confidant of the emperor, and he is also serving under me now. ? Now that my father’s life is at stake, these generals and officials see it very clearly, because it can be as short as a few months, or as long as one or two years. When I ascend the throne, Du Heng is just like those generals, and he is nothing more. He only leads the three thousand soldiers and horses in the palace, so there is nothing to fear.”

“Your Highness is wrong. This palace is the center of the Chongqing Kingdom. Whoever controls the palace controls the world. I advise your highness to change. The general is in charge of the imperial guards in the palace,” Wang Xi advised.

“Needless to say, if this is the case, what do you want the generals who have taken refuge in me to think? Isn’t this just burning bridges? Don’t forget the third prince. The fourth prince has been wooing officials and generals during this time. I can’t let the other generals think about this trivial matter. It’s heartbreaking, and Du Heng is only in charge of the inner palace, and the outer palace is all ours. Even if he only pretends to surrender, it will only take the blink of an eye to kill him.”

Wang Xi frowned, and the prince’s words seemed to be there. There was some truth in it, but he always felt uneasy, but thinking that King Zhao was going to lead troops into Chang’an today, he stopped mentioning it.

In the Bishui Pavilion, all the maids serving Concubine Zhen kept sobbing. They started crying after the prince left.

“Why are you crying? If you want to cry, go outside and cry.” Liuli looked at the maids and said angrily. Concubine Zhen was sad because of this incident, but these maids didn’t try to persuade her. Instead, they all did a disservice.

A palace maid said: “Can we not cry? We all heard what the prince said, which means we all know this secret. Can we still live after knowing this kind of thing?”

“That is, who listens to secrets like regicide ?

Die.”

“Ugh…”

Liuli suddenly became speechless after hearing this.

Concubine Zhen said at this time: “I’m sorry, it’s me who has caused trouble to everyone. If I hadn’t served you, I wouldn’t have let you suffer. Here, I apologize to you.”

“Empress!” All the maids were shocked and immediately helped them up. Concubine Zhen.

A palace maid said: “Your Majesty treats us with great kindness. How can we accept your gift? We are just sad in our hearts, but because of this, we will definitely advance and retreat with your Majesty.”

Concubine Zhen sighed, what is happening in Chang’an City now With the huge changes, spreading the news is the most important thing, otherwise it may be detrimental to Xiao Ming if he is kept in the dark.

If the news was told to him, Xiao Ming would be able to prepare as soon as possible.
