Chapter 27: The Emperor's Conspiracy
"Nonsense! How could it be too late? We'll be going to the Prince's Mansion right away! The underground palace will not be there for the time being. With that, Yang Haolong was about to lift the curtain and shout to stop the carriage.
"Young master......" Ou Yi made a faint sound.
Yang Haolong hurriedly said: "Sister Ouyi, don't waste your body, let's go to the prince's mansion to get the antidote." β
"It's useless." Ou Yi shook his head, "There is no such antidote prince. β
"How do you know the prince doesn't? This poison is clearly from the prince! Yang Haolong said hatefully.
"Could it be that this is the emperor's order, and then the crown prince poisoned it?" Yang Haolong seemed to think of something, and said suddenly.
Ou Yi bit his lip and said hesitantly: "The slave didn't dare to guess that it was the emperor before, but every time the prince came to the dungeon to ask the slave and the maid for the so-called incriminating evidence, the slave and maid suspected that in fact, the destruction of the Pan family and the Xu family was instructed by the emperor." β
Yes, she was clear! She finally understood that something was wrong! No matter how powerful the prince is, the person sitting on the dragon chair is not him after all. The crown prince destroyed the Pan family and the Xu family with such fanfare, how could the emperor not know the reason?
Could it be that a simple sentence of looting wealth by bandits can cover up the fact that the door was destroyed? There is only one possibility, that is, from beginning to end, the emperor is informed! Even the default! That's why the prince dared to be so arrogant!
In this way, the man in black who suddenly appeared this time must be the shadow guard next to the emperor. Because she was going to flee from Zhao, she ruined the emperor's entire plan. Or, the emperor thought that she knew something inside, so he killed people. Ou Yi and Xu Wu are just servants without any identity or status, and it is easy for the emperor to take his life.
But Yang Haolong is at least Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the son of the Yang family, and the object of Princess Yuehua's admiration, so the emperor can't come openly, he can only assassinate. If she agrees to marry Princess Yuehua, maybe the emperor will still treat her as a son-in-law and become his own. But she refused. In all cases, the emperor had no choice but to assassinate her.
Therefore, the prince scolded her for being stupid before, but he actually meant this matter! If she stays in the Prince's Mansion honestly, at least she doesn't have to worry about her life, but once she leaves, she can only die.
What exactly was the agreement between the emperor and the crown prince? The prince is about to force the palace, she doesn't believe that the emperor doesn't know, but the emperor still lets the prince mess around?
It turns out that the prince is a fox or raised! The real fox is the emperor! If the emperor is determined to want Ou Yi's life, if she wants to save Ou Yi, she can only meet the emperor!
I see!
"Stop!" Yang Haolong suddenly opened the curtain, and regardless of whether the carriage really stopped, he jumped down directly.
When Wang Jiahong, who was in front, saw it, he was shocked and shouted, "Why don't you stop soon?" β
Fortunately, the carriage was not fast, and Yang Haolong only suffered a slight bruise when he jumped out of the carriage.
"Are you crazy? If you want to get out of the carriage and say something, what are you in a hurry to jump? Wang Jiahong jumped off the horse, came to Yang Haolong's side in a few steps, and anxiously checked her, for fear that she would be injured somewhere.
"Don't go to the dungeon! I'm going to take them back to the palace! "The emperor is threatening her with Ouyi's life! How could she still be separated?
Wang Jiahong was stunned, and his face changed slightly: "What happened?" Even if you sue the deity, there is nothing in the world that the deity cannot handle! β
It's not that Wang Jiahong is big, but that Gute Divine Venerable does have such a ability! If even the Gut Divine Venerable can't do it, then there is no one in the world who can do it.
"No, you don't! I'll figure it out! "Don't say that she doesn't believe in Wang Jiahong, even if Wang Jiahong really has this ability, with her understanding of Wang Jiahong, she will not be able to get out of it again in the future. This man, whether in his previous life or in his current life, she doesn't want to be involved with him at all!
"What if you soften? I won't kill you! Wang Jiahong was really anxious, because her refusal to help made him feel that he couldn't get close to her.
Yang Haolong looked at him with some surprise, and what he said seemed to be that they had known each other for a long time.
Wang Jiahong knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly coughed a few times to cover up the past: "Since you want to insist on going back, the deity will send you back." β
ββββ
Yang Haolong and his entourage swaggered in front of the prince's mansion again, and the housekeeper couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace: "Yang Shaoqing, the prince will look for you as soon as he wakes up, and you came back just in time." β
Yang Haolong was stunned, after the prince woke up, he didn't chase them back with great fanfare, but as if he didn't know that she would come back, he stayed in the prince's mansion leisurely and waited for her to come back?
Sure enough, she was still too naΓ―ve. Because of her lack of understanding of the superiors, she is restricted everywhere. She was a little angry and said, "No need! The official should enter the palace immediately to face the saint, and ask the housekeeper to place the official's people first. β
When he was about to arrive at the prince's mansion, Wang Jiahong had already left because he wanted to avoid suspicion, and there were only three people in the carriage: Xu Wu, Ou Yi, and Ah Yue.
The butler glanced at the people in the carriage, and was surprised that Ou Yi had been found, but he looked sick.
Yang Haolong said unhappily: "What do you see?" Why don't you go ahead and arrange it? β
"Young Master! Let your subordinates accompany you into the palace! Ah Yue really didn't worry about Yang Haolong entering the palace alone to face the saint.
"No, I can't. You don't have any official title, so you can't enter the palace at will. And you're going to stay and take care of the Ouyi sisters, what if someone is bad for them? Yang Haolong refused Ah Yue's entourage.
Soon, after Yang Haolong arranged a qiΔ here, he entered the palace to face the saint.
She really underestimated the emperor, and the emperor seemed to know that she was coming, so he turned on the green light all the way, so that she didn't have to report it layer by layer, and went directly into the imperial study.
After seeing the emperor, Yang Haolong didn't make those false courtesies, and directly asked: "The antidote is here." β
"Yang Shaoqing, you are really bold, not only did you not salute when you saw me, but also used a questioning tone?" The emperor is high above, his eyes as obscure as his heart.
"Don't you forget, the emperor promised that Weichen didn't have to bow down?" Yang Haolong has now gradually understood the emperor's plan, and he is no longer polite. What if it's the Ninety-Five? provoked her, she still "returned"!
The emperor pulled out a smile, and did not continue to dwell on this issue, but said: "If you want an antidote, you can go back to the prince." β
"Just because I had the intention of fleeing from Zhao State, so you want to kill me?" Yang Haolong couldn't believe that the emperor would make a big move because of such a "trivial matter".
"Yes." The emperor had no need to lie to her and admitted it directly.
"Why? You knew that the prince was going to rebel, but you let him mess around, and even arranged for me to do things by his side? In that case, it would be good for you to give way directly, so why bother? "Yang Haolong really can't understand the emperor's behavior.
"I told you before, I have already written an edict, and there is the name of the rightful heir of my Zhao State. Now, I can tell you who I am writing about. The Emperor did not answer her, but said something else.
Yang Haolong was inexplicably shocked, she had a hunch that this was not a good thing.
Sure enough, the emperor smiled lightly and said: "The person who passed on the throne is my sixth son, Zhao Yinggang!" β
Yang Haolong's eyes widened and he looked at the emperor in disbelief. One is to speak frankly for the emperor, but to be frightened by the actual heir.
"You think it's incredible, don't you?" The emperor sighed and said, "The world says that the six princes are my favorite princes, so what's wrong with me passing on the throne to my favorite prince?" β
"But you have already set up a prince, and the world knows that the prince is the prince, not the sixth prince!" Since this is the case, then why bother so much, and directly announce that the prince of the world is the sixth prince.
"I have a total of 15 sons in my life, but only 4 of them can really grow up." The emperor's sigh let Yang Haolong know what's inside.
It turned out that the emperor was using the crown prince as a cover? You want to assassinate the prince and increase your bargaining chips for your future accession to the throne, right? Well, the emperor told the prince of the world early on that he was the crown prince, and if you want to take the throne, you should get rid of the prince first.
The crown prince turned out to be the one who protected the six princes!
In this deep palace inner courtyard, you can't detect all kinds of darkness at all. Although the prince died due to various accidents, it seems that it was really an accident, but who knows the real reason inside? Actually, the emperor has always been clear, but since ancient times, the battle for the throne has always been bloody!
The superior person is built by the blood-drenched and only white bones left! If you want to become the supreme person, you can only step on the white corpse step by step!
"But the prince is also your son!" Yang Haolong never believed that the emperor would be so patient.
However, the emperor was simply silent. Actually, why didn't he know? But if he doesn't sacrifice a prince, I'm afraid that his only four remaining sons will not be able to continue to live. He knew that he was sorry for the prince, but sacrificing a son, but he could save others and the country of Zhao, he could only do so!
"What about the second prince? Because you know that the crown prince wants to rebel, you deliberately let the second prince cultivate his own forces to fight against the crown prince, so that the two of them can confront each other in the court to balance the forces of all parties. Gradually, Yang Haolong understood the emperor's thoughts.
"In order to let Zhao Yinggang ascend to the throne, you did not hesitate to sacrifice so many people? Even his two sons got in! It's really ruthless, it's the emperor's family! In the end, she was only powerless to taunt the emperor.
In the face of Yang Haolong's questioning, the emperor did not deny it at all, nor did he defend himself, but said: "For the sake of Zhao Guo's country for thousands of generations, it can only be like this!" What about even the prince? If the country needs it, they can only be reduced to a pawn! β
The emperor's straightforward words made Yang Haolong's face change and change. The emperor can still kill his own son, let alone her, an outsider?
It turns out that the glamorous identity of the prince in outsiders, in the emperor Yan zhΓ²ng, is just a chess piece that can be sacrificed at any time!
"And now? Will you let me stay with the crown prince and help him take the throne? Yang Haolong laughed miserably, "Then fight to the death with the second prince, and in the end, the sixth prince can make a profit." But no matter what the final result is, the fate of my Yang family is just a dead end! β
Because, there is no winner at all in the partisan battle between the crown prince and the second prince. The emperor has long set the end. The Yang family and the Li family are both chess pieces on the chessboard. After the six princes really ascend the throne, as the "remnants" of the princelings and the second princes, the Yang family and the Li family will inevitably be eradicated by the new emperor.
So, no matter what they do now and how hard they try, the final result is only a dead end!
"You know that Weichen's final result must be given death by the new emperor, but in this way, you still want Princess Yuehua to marry Weichen." Yang Haolong said bitterly, "Princess Yuehua is your daughter!" Isn't she known as the most favored princess in Zhao Kingdom? You're going to sacrifice her? β
In Zhao State, marrying a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, if Princess Yuehua marries Yang Haolong, she is a member of the Yang family, and if the Yang family is beheaded in the future, even the princess will not be spared.
"The princess was either kissed or married to a courtier by the emperor as a means of encircling the courtiers. As a princess, Yuehua should have had such an awareness a long time ago! The Emperor said ruthlessly.
"Yes, if the princess really marries Weichen, then you can relax the prince's vigilance, thinking that the emperor really wants to choose an emperor between him and the second prince." Yang Haolong couldn't say any more.
The Emperor also closed his eyes. He always knew that he was not a good father or a good husband. He can even use his own sons and daughters, let alone his concubines? However, as a superior person, in order to ensure that Zhao Guo's country will last for generations, he can only do this! ββ
