Chapter 518: The Death Knell Rings
The death knell sounded without warning, accompanied by the emperor's words, which was particularly suitable, no more and no less, and everyone could understand that this was a national funeral.
The death of the whole country, either the emperor or the queen mother, the queen mother has passed away for many years, only the emperor is still there, and now the bell rings in the palace, only the emperor died.
But the emperor sat on the dragon bed in a good manner, although he looked sick and old, but he had not died in the end, Chu Ze and the concubine's faces turned pale in an instant, and there seemed to be something beyond their control.
"I have already died, but this one thing has exceeded your expectations, and before you are sure of victory, you will show off your power first, this is a big taboo! Ze'er, didn't I teach you? ”
This is a very funny scene, a good person said that he was dead, not only funny, but also creepy, however, the emperor did not find this matter frightening, but looked at the mother and son in front of him with a cold expression.
"Quick! Quick, Emperor, send someone to stop the people in the palace, don't let any news get out! The concubine was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to her senses, and hurriedly pulled Chu Ze beside her and shouted.
Chu Ze was drunk by his mother, so he reacted violently, and suddenly understood when he commanded outward, and then became a little more stable, "Mother, don't be afraid, this palace has been mastered by the sons, and the forbidden army in the palace guards all exits, and no one will go out!" He can't get any information out of it. ”
"So ......" the concubine Niangniang was not as optimistic as him, and the golden hairpin on her head shook so much that her brain hurt. Rubbing the corners of his forehead, seeing that the emperor didn't panic at all after listening to Chu Ze's words, he knew what else they had to ignore, "What about the leading eunuch who has always been close to the saint?" He must have gone out with the edict! ”
"Edict?" Chu Ze turned his head suddenly. The pupils contracted violently, and they all knew what it would mean if the edict was promulgated, and it would naturally be for Chu Yuan to inherit the unification, the death knell sounded, and the emperor died, so naturally the new emperor should be supported, if there is an edict. The crown prince's accession to the throne is logical.
At this time, he suddenly understood the reason for the emperor's move, and at the same time became more and more panicked and resentful. After working hard for a long time, in the end, I still can't compare to this younger brother!
"There are still grandfather's people outside, and there are the capital guards, and they will not let him run rampant. As long as the eunuch appears. will immediately be killed as a person who deceives the people with evil words! Chu Ze frowned, his originally gentle and clear eyes were full of murderous aura, and he gave an order, and the guards in his house immediately took the order and left.
The concubine's hands were already trembling slightly, she was unsteady on the edge of the dragon bed, and she shook a few times but still stood up straight, but she thought that the things she had carefully planned for a long time were disrupted like this, and the unwillingness in her heart almost made her want to kill the person who did her good things with her own hands.
"And the secret passage! There must be a secret passage in this dormitory! Otherwise, the will of the prince would not have been spread. At that time, the palace hadn't figured it out, but today I suddenly realized that this rumor was not groundless! Come! Search this place inch by inch for the main palace. This palace doesn't believe it, and can't find the secret passage! ”
The concubine has lost her mind a little, waving her arms outward, and directing people to come in and search, even if she will change her original intention today, even if she will end up plotting power and usurping the throne in the history books, she must have this evil breath.
She has done everything she should have done and should not do, collaborating with the enemy and treason, forcing the palace to usurp the throne, what else she didn't dare! Today, she will make her son king, and see who can stop her!
Qi Ziyu's straight back tightened suddenly, his fingers slowly tightened on the sides of his body, and the afterglow swept over the old man on the dragon bed, with a cold smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, staring closely at the guards who rushed in with weapons and searched in this dormitory.
This is the resting place of the Son of Heaven, ordinary people are not allowed to enter at all, but now, where are there any monarchs and ministers, the emperor does not open his mouth to stop it, Qi Ziyu can only gradually tighten his back, and he is accumulating strength all over his body, Yan Yiyun is behind that wall, if there is no accident, he will definitely be discovered, it is just a matter of time.
Yan Yiyun heard the word secret passage, his heart also trembled, he was already beating very fast, but now he was sinking to the edge, his hands and feet were cold, he could only listen to the sound outside a little bit closer, took out the sword he carried and held it in his hand, and a little silver light became the most dazzling place in this secret passage.
The emperor's death knell, the edict was promulgated, and the crown prince became the new monarch in name only, no matter whether Chu Yuan could leave safely this time, he had already succeeded for the most part, at least Chu Ze was hopeless if he wanted to ascend the throne smoothly in history.
Yan Yiyun didn't know if this was Ye Musheng's plan, or if it was just the emperor's trap, it didn't matter, but the concubine Niangniang suddenly went crazy at this time, and instead of stabilizing the outside things first, she searched the dormitory, which was definitely something they didn't expect.
When will Ye Musheng's signal come, Yan Yiyun was even more puzzled in his heart, didn't he say that someone outside would do it first? Didn't you say she had to wait for the news to come back?
It's just that in this moment, Yan Yiyun's mind has turned countless thoughts, but none of them can relieve her current predicament, she finds that she is like a little beast trapped here, she could have escaped, but she couldn't take a step.
From the bottom of her heart, there must be something strange in this, which she hasn't discovered yet, so she is waiting, and she is also gambling, the person arranged by Ye Musheng will do it immediately, even if he doesn't do it, Qi Ziyu should be here, I don't know when, whenever she encounters danger, Yan Yiyun is already very familiar with relying on Qi Ziyu, as long as he is there, she can do whatever she wants.
Like an absolute umbrella, but at this time, I don't know if it can still work, Yan Yiyun took a deep breath, the hilt of the sword in her hand was a little slippery, and she could only hold it with force, turned her face sideways and looked out, and suddenly found that the vision in front of her was much wider, and the figure in the bright silver armor in front of her moved away.
Almost at the same time, the door of the secret passage suddenly shook, and Yan Yiyun's original body immediately jumped open, facing the wall in a defensive posture.
Outside the door, the guards had noticed the difference in the walls here, and beckoned a few to come over and push together, and the concubine was happy, and her eyes were fixed on the door motionless.
Chu Ze also turned around, he didn't expect that the door of the secret passage was just a few steps behind him, but he was more concerned about another thing, the throne he had arrived!
Everyone in the hall turned their attention elsewhere at this time, only Qi Ziyu accurately noticed that a light suddenly appeared in the emperor's cloudy eyes, and his gray beard trembled. (To be continued.) )
