The news of the prince's death spread throughout the imperial capital in a very short period of time, and some people in the imperial capital were happy and some were sad.

In a small teahouse, everyone is drinking tea with peace of mind, and they are talking about some parents, so they are all chatting about each other. But the role of the teahouse is not limited to this, if you don't talk about some popular topics, then the tea in everyone's hands will only lose a little taste.

Suddenly, a man spoke:

"Have you heard about the death of the prince?"

Naturally, some people didn't know, and maybe they just supported the crown prince's accession to the throne, so the man retorted mercilessly with a sneer on the corner of his mouth:

"How could the crown prince die? Do you know what kind of crime this is? If I don't tell the prince to go, how can the seven princes fight the prince?"

The rest of the people shook their heads, everyone knew in their hearts whether this prince was really dead or fake, but some people didn't want to believe it, and others didn't want to expose him.

Simply everyone didn't care about this person, pretended not to hear him, and continued to discuss.

"This prince deserves to die, and no one in his faction does good things on weekdays. ”

"Yes, we people in the imperial capital have suffered greatly, it's good to die!"

An old man seemed to be reminded of the painful memories of the words of the crowd and burst into tears.

"My granddaughter was because she was favored by the prince's doorman, so she trampled her body, and finally had no way to appeal, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and today the prince has finally been punished! Pity my granddaughter, she is only eighteen!"

Everyone comforted the old man, but the person who had supported the prince before still spoke indifferently:

"It's a blessing for your granddaughter to be looked down upon by the prince's disciples, how many people want to be looked down upon and have no way. ”

"Why are you like this?

"Why does your mouth stink so much?"

When they heard this, they all accused the man, and the old man even got up from the table and raised his stick to beat him, but he was still unmoved, and even showed a sarcastic smile:

"When the prince comes back, I will report you people, and you will all die. ”

At this moment, there was a sound of neat footsteps outside, and a group of soldiers walked in.

"Someone reported that you guys here are discussing the prince's affairs, I don't know if it?"

The man hurried forward, looked at the officer almost flatteringly, and said to him:

"Report to the chief, it is this group of people who are here to spread rumors that the prince is dead, and they all insult the prince, saying that the little scumbag of the Seventh Prince is the real son, and they should be arrested quickly. ”

The officer frowned and turned his gaze to him:

"Who told you it was a rumor?"

When the man heard this, his body trembled, and he did not dare to look directly into the eyes of the chief.

"Now that the emperor is the world of the Seven Princes, you dare to say here that the Seven Princes are not, are you looking for death?"

Then the commander turned to the group of soldiers behind him and said:

"Arrest this person, take him back and torture him to see if he is the remnant of the prince. ”

"Also, pay attention in the past two days, don't let the Seventh Prince hear someone say that he is not, otherwise you and I will not be able to bear the consequences. ”

When the man who had been sneering before heard this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the chief:

"Sir, I was wrong, I don't dare to speak ill of the Seven Princes anymore, please let me go, I am old and young. ”

As he spoke, he tugged at the chief's trousers, and the commander looked at him in disgust, kicked his hand away violently, and then, without saying a word, waved at the soldier, and turned away.

The man seemed to have gone mad when he was dragged away by the soldiers, and all he said was:

"The prince is not dead, the prince will come back to take revenge on you, hehehe......"

Everyone watched coldly as the man was dragged away, without the slightest relent, after all, what the prince's faction had done in the past few years was really resentful.

Such a scene is not uncoincidental, similar things are happening in various places in the imperial capital. Today's imperial capital is destined to be recorded in the annals of history, countless remnants of the prince have been found by the forbidden army, and the prince's power is really coming to an end.

It was not calm in the palace at this time.

In Concubine Liu's palace, the second prince stood in front of Concubine Liu.

"Emperor, since the crown prince is dead, then you should quickly subdue his power, and one Seven Princes alone is not enough to threaten you. ”

"Queen Mother, you may not know enough about these Seven Princes, but since he can bring down the crown prince, we are even weaker than the crown prince, so why fight with him. ”

Concubine Liu glanced at the second prince, and this glance made the second prince fall into an ice cellar, and then she slowly spoke:

"Emperor, have you lost your confidence? You must know that although the crown prince is dead, his mother queen is not a simple role, and her position as the first in the harem for so many years is not just because of her status as the queen. ”

But the second prince seemed to be afraid, and said stubbornly:

"Queen Mother, forget it, the Chu Jiang next to the Seventh Prince is not simple, just let the queen fight with them, let's just watch the play, it is not good for us to participate in it. ”

Concubine Liu sighed, and looked at the second prince simply, and the second prince seemed to have the courage this time, and also looked directly at Concubine Liu.

After a long time, Concubine Liu opened her mouth to break the silence:

"That's it, this throne is not in dispute. ”

In another, more splendid palace, the atmosphere in the palace was even more solemn.

"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really in control. ”

A palace maid cautiously said to a woman wearing a phoenix crown on her head.

Although this woman is old, she has to say that she is well maintained, she still has charm, and she has a motherly temperament. But at this time, she seems to have lost this temperament and has become gloomy.

"My emperor, why did you leave me all of a sudden? I haven't seen you proclaimed emperor, how can you leave me alone in the world?"

And then he began to cry aloud. After she stopped, she just stared blankly at the bracelet in her hand, which was given to her by the prince on her birthday, and looked at it, and fell asleep like this, this time the queen had a dream.

In the dream, the crown prince was still the same as when he was a child, and he was playing with the queen in the imperial garden.

"Mother, hurry up. ”

The prince is chasing butterflies in front of him.

"Emperor, slow down, wait for the queen mother. ”

As soon as the scene changed, the crown prince sat next to the queen, playing with the spirit weapon sword given to him by the Emperor of Nanjiang Kingdom.

"Queen Mother, do you think I can have more and better weapons in the future?"

The queen touched the prince's head, smiled at him and said:

"Emperor, if you want, the entire Nanjiang Kingdom is yours, and you can choose any artifact in the palace treasury. ”

The scene changed again, and the queen walked alone in the thick fog.

"Emperor, where are you?"

No matter how much the queen shouted, the prince still didn't appear. The queen kept walking, the boundless darkness like a giant beast, ready to eat her up at any moment.
