It was not yet the fifth watch, the sky was not yet light, and it was dark outside.

Under the eaves of the corridor of the Funing Palace, several palace lamps are hung. The palace lantern was blown by the cold wind and kept shaking, casting dappled light and shadow.

Emperor Yuanyou, who was lying on the dragon couch, was suddenly awakened by a nightmare.

Gonggong Li, who was sleeping on the ground, was very vigilant, and woke up almost immediately, hurriedly got up and came to the side of the bed, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare?"

Emperor Yuanyou was dizzy, his eyes showed a trace of fear, and his voice trembled a little: "I dreamed that the prince was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he cried to me, saying that someone had harmed him. ”

This dream is too realistic. Emperor Yuanyou, who had always been calm, was also frightened.

Gonggong Li's heart tightened, but he smiled and comforted: "Dreams are all reversed." In another hour, the sky will be bright, and at the beginning of the new year, the emperor will relax. Waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the palace safely. ”

As I get older, I can't help but be a little more in awe of the ghosts and gods.

Emperor Yuanyou thought of the dream just now, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he opened his mouth and ordered: "Spread my will immediately, go to the prince's mansion now, and summon the prince to see me." ”

Right now?

Gonggong Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded.

Gonggong Li turned around and walked to the door of the bedroom, and as soon as he opened the door, a chamberlain hurriedly ran over.

In the silent dormitory, the sound of hurried and panicked footsteps is particularly clear and flustering.

Gonggong Li's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

The candlelight in the bedroom shined through the door, shining the frightened face of the waiter: "Gonggong Li, the prince's mansion sent bad news, saying that His Royal Highness the prince died suddenly......"

Gonggong Li's mind slammed, and suddenly went blank.

Emperor Yuanyou's angry voice sounded behind him: "Presumptuous! Dare to talk nonsense and curse the prince!"

The chamberlain plucked up his courage and said, "How dare a slave talk nonsense about such a big thing." The person who reported the news was still outside the palace, so the servant let him in and report to the emperor in person. ”

All of this is true!

The prince died suddenly!

Gonggong Li's always sharp mind was barely turned around at this time. The first reaction was to rush into the bedroom: "Emperor, Emperor!"

Emperor Yuanyou was really angry and unconscious.

"Come on, go to the Imperial Doctor!" Li Gonggong shouted angrily.

……

Jingxiu Palace.

"Concubine Xian, something is wrong!"

Concubine Sun Xian, who was asleep, was awakened by the sound of a quick knock on the door, and after sitting up straight, she shook her slightly drowsy head, frowned and scolded the palace maid outside the door: "What's the matter that can't wait until dawn to report?"

Since she was disgusted and claustrophobic by the emperor, this Jingxiu Palace has also been completely deposited. It's as if forgotten by everyone. Not to mention the middle of the night, even during the day, very few people come.

What big deal can be?

The palace maid outside the door couldn't wait for Concubine Sun Xian to open her mouth, so she pushed the door and came in.

Concubine Sun Xian's face sank, and she was about to get angry, but the palace maid had already knelt down for a while: "The people from the prince's mansion entered the palace to send a funeral letter." ”

Bereavement?

Concubine Sun Xian couldn't react for a while: "What kind of funeral letter?"

Who died?

Could it be Gu Guanning?

Before Concubine Sun Xian could imagine a good time, the palace maid had already opened her mouth tremblingly: "Yes...... It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Concubine Sun Xian suddenly laughed loudly as if she had heard some funny joke: "Nonsense. The prince was in the prime of life, how could he die suddenly. It's not dawn yet, I have to sleep for a while, you step back first. ”

The palace maid had tears in her eyes: "Niangniang, the slave maid is not lying. The emperor was shocked to hear the bad news, his blood surged, and he had already fainted. All the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital were summoned to the Funing Palace. It was precisely because the movement was too loud that the slave maid got the news, and she didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately came to deliver a letter to her mother. ”

All of Sun Xianfei's expressions were fixed on her face.

Her eyes were full of horror and disbelief, but there was boundless trepidation and fear.

How could the crown prince die?

How is this possible?

Her son, the prince of Great Qin, is in his prime, and he has not yet had time to sit on the dragon chair, and he has not yet had time to let her mother enjoy the honor......

How could he just die?!

Concubine Sun Xian wanted to open her mouth to speak, but a burst of fishy sweetness suddenly surged in her throat, and blood gushed out as soon as she opened her mouth. Splashed on the placket and bedding like blooming blood.

The palace maid rushed forward in shock: "Niangniang!"

……

Queen Wang, who was in Jingyang Palace, and Concubine Dou Shu, who was in Jingyun Palace, also received this amazing bad news at the same time.

The queen Wang, who was almost full of gray hair and described as emaciated, was startled at first.

The deep indignation, resentment, and anger in my heart were relieved for a long time.

That's great!

The crown prince is dead!

That's great!

The queen laughed nervously.

Fortunately, there are only two henchmen and palace maids who serve closely in the dormitory, as well as Father-in-law Xi. No matter what Queen Wang said or did, it would never be rumored that this Jingyang Palace would come out.

The queen laughed heartily for a long time, laughing so much that tears were about to come out.

"People are doing it, the sky is watching, it's not that the time has not come. The queen's eyes were full of happiness, and the corners of her mouth were full of cruel smiles: "The death of the prince is too wonderful!"

Inside and outside the palace, there will be huge waves immediately.

The prince is the foundation of a dynasty. Although the crown prince has no great talent, he has been the prince for so many years, and there are many officials in the court who support him. Because of the chaos in Jizhou, the prince also has some prestige among the people.

Now that the prince has died suddenly, he is still dying so undignified. With Emperor Yuanyou's temperament, he will definitely hide the cause of death and save the last face for the prince.

Next, it depends on whose hands the position of prince falls into.

","

Father-in-law Xi stepped forward quietly, lowered his voice and said, "This kind of bad news will spread all over the capital at most tomorrow." I don't know how many waves will be set off when the time comes. I heard that the emperor had been shocked by the bad news and fell unconscious. Shouldn't Niangniang immediately go to Funing Hall to preside over the overall situation?"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

In case Emperor Yuanyou has another good ...... Whoever accompanies Emperor Yuanyou in the end, of course, has indescribable benefits. If Emperor Yuanyou could wake up safely and rush there, he would also seem to be worried about the emperor's dragon body.

In short, the faster you go, the better.

Queen Wang took a deep breath: "What you said is reasonable, come and wait for the palace to change clothes." ”

Time was in a hurry, Queen Wang had no intention of packing up, hurriedly put on her clothes, and led Father-in-law Xi to Funing Palace.

At this time, the sky was slightly white.

The low-ranking palace maids and chamberlains in the palace had already gotten up and bowed their heads to sweep the road in the palace. The corner of his eye swept to the queen who was walking in a hurry, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Although Queen Wang was deposed, Yu Wei was still there, and he didn't look at the palace people kneeling on the side of the road, so he went to Funing Palace.

The queen was fast enough, but someone was one step faster than her.
