Chapter 273: Heaven Help Me
The Imperial Palace can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in the entire capital, but it is also the place where news is the least easy to conceal.
The big families have more or less arranged eyeliner in the palace, just to see if they can spread the news out of the palace.
In the evening of that day, the guards of King Cheng's Mansion passed the latest news from the palace to King Cheng. At that time, King Cheng and King Cheng were discussing in the study.
King Cheng took the note and looked at it, and stood up in shock, his face suddenly clouded.
"Father? What's wrong? King Cheng was startled when he saw Prince Cheng's ugly face, and asked carefully.
"The emperor has died!" King Cheng gritted his teeth and popped out these words from between his teeth.
"What? His Majesty...... Does this mean who will inherit the throne? King Cheng Shizi shuddered for a moment, and then remembered the most important thing, and hurriedly asked.
"Hahahaha! Good to die! It's good to die! God help me! King Cheng suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and the guards guarding outside the study wanted to plug their ears.
"Father, father, emperor......" King Cheng called out in a low voice.
"The emperor has never left any edicts, and the eldest prince and the second prince have kept the emperor's death a secret, and they must take the opportunity to envelop the court forces!" King Cheng analyzed, and then seemed to think of something, "If that's the case, I can guess why this Wu'an Hou Mansion was imprisoned!" ”
"Why?" As soon as the prince of Cheng heard that it was related to the Marquis of Wu'an, he immediately came to his senses.
"The great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan is nothing more than that!" King Cheng waved his hand casually, he didn't care what happened to the Marquis of Wu'an! Now it's the dragon chair that counts!
"Father, since the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion has now been imprisoned in the heavenly prison, it is better to ...... them" King Cheng's expression was resentful, and he made a gesture to wipe his neck.
"Huh?" Prince Cheng snorted impatiently, pointed to the tip of his son's nose and said, "Look at what you look like now?" Since the Hou Mansion of Wu'an has been locked up in the prison, he will not be released again! Unless the new emperor ascends the throne! If the dragon chair is obtained by this king, the whole world will become this king's, and a small Hou Mansion still needs to worry about it? ”
"Yes!" King Cheng was unconvinced and couldn't, so he could only make promises on his face.
"Think long-term! All right! You go down first! King Cheng looked at his son's uncompetitive appearance, and a fire rose in his heart, and the joy of the emperor's death suddenly disappeared. If it weren't for his good royal brother's wariness of him, how could he raise a good son like this? How can there be only one son?
Think about it, even if the throne is in hand, I'm afraid that his good son won't be able to keep it! In this case, the only way to strike first is to get rid of those who may compete with his son for the throne!
King Cheng's eyes flashed with a fierce look!
Chengwang Shizi returned to his courtyard with an unhappy face, and the two charming and amorous aunts immediately pounced, snuggling up to Chengwang Shizi one by one, "Shiziye!" You're back! ”
"I've been waiting for you for a long time! Why did you come back? The concubine's face was not good, but what unpleasant happened? A woman with apricot eyes and willow eyebrows said delicately.
"It's not my good father! Look down on the master and kick the master out of the study! I don't want to think about who will send him to the end when he dies in the future! King Cheng Shizi was furious, and said without concealment.
