Although Dongling Guyun did not intend to publicize the assassin's killing of the assassin into the Zhan Palace, it still reached the ears of Dongling Luoxi as quickly as possible. Hearing this, the emperor was furious, and immediately issued a holy decree regardless of everyone's dissuasion, ordering the Ouchi secret agents and the Imperial City Forbidden Army to collectively go out to arrest the assassin!

As soon as the decree was issued, the entire Imperial Capital City immediately fell into a panic, and every day, I don't know how many "assassins" were thrown into the prison and tortured, trying to make them confess the "mastermind behind the scenes". All of a sudden, the prison was overcrowded, wailing all over the field, and all kinds of screams ** were unbearable!

The night is getting darker.

Dongling Guyun sat at the table, his brows furrowed. He knew very well in his heart that the assassins captured by Tanglin Luoxi were innocent at all, but in the current situation, he couldn't stop it!

Because the name of the throne is not right, Tanglin Luo Xi has an unusual fear and hatred for those who may threaten his throne, once he finds any clues, he will not hesitate to kill, as the so-called "rather kill by mistake than let go"!

And for those who dared to intercede for him, he was even more accused of "accomplice" at every turn, and there was no mercy for killing them! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that this was an absolute taboo for Tanglin Luoxi, so even if more and more innocent people were arrested, no one dared to come out and say a word for them!

The figure flashed, and Shen Shaobai floated in, his face solemn: "Guyun, the situation is not good." ”

Dongling Guyun nodded: "I know." Ouchi's secret agents and the Imperial City Forbidden Army have taken people everywhere, which has affected many innocent people. ”

Shen Shaobai sat down and asked in a deep voice: "Can't you stop it? In order to protect a few of the first emperor's courtiers, but to affect so many people, if the first emperor has a spirit in the sky, how can he bear it?"

"I also want to stop it," Dongling Guyun stroked his eyebrows and sighed slightly, "But now the situation is very special, if I open my mouth, I am afraid that it will be easy to arouse Dongling Luoxi's suspicion, and it will be easier to fall short!"

Shen Shaobai pursed his lips, and after a long time, he suddenly made up his mind and said: "In this way, we can only speed up the pace as much as possible, and even advance the action......?

Dongling Guyun smiled bitterly: "This can indeed be done once and for all, but how can the question be advanced? The human and physical evidence we need has not yet been collected, if we act rashly in advance, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the people of the world!"

"I'll do it as soon as possible!" Shen Shaobai let out a breath, then stood up, "Since this is the only way, I won't tell you more, farewell!"

After Shen Shaobai left, before Dongling Guyun had time to sort out his messy thoughts, Duanmu Youning arrived on his hind feet. Although she was veiled, she could still see the obvious worry in her eyes: "King Zhan, now the people in the imperial capital city are panicking, and the situation is only a little bad." The emperor arrested people indiscriminately without looking at the evidence, causing his wife to be separated and the people's resentment boiling......"

"In order to catch the Assassins, my father has always done everything he can. Dongling Guyun sneered, his eyes flashing with cold hatred.

Duanmu Youning seemed to notice his abnormality, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart, but he deliberately said: "The emperor did this because he cared about Concubine Rou Niangniang and didn't want her to be hurt......

"Excuse!" Dongling Guyun suddenly gritted his teeth and rushed out, "He's just for himself, I'm afraid of ......"

Suddenly realizing his gaffe, he suddenly stopped, and his breath became unusually disordered. Duanmu Youning's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Are you afraid, what are you afraid of......?" Are those rumors true?"

Taking advantage of this short gap, Dongling Guyun's aura had basically returned to normal, and he just asked lightly: "What rumors?"

Duanmu Youning hesitated for a moment: "The people are secretly talking in private, saying that the throne should not belong to today's son, so ...... King Zhan, how did the emperor get this throne? Why ......?"

"You'd better not ask about these things casually, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble. Dongling Guyun interrupted her coldly, but the coldness was obviously aimed at others, "I said, now you and I are people in the same boat, if this boat capsizes, we will die together!"

Duanmu Youning pursed his lips: Could it be that there is really a big secret in it, which would make Dongling Guyun so secretive?

Helped Dongling Guyun take the medicine, returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, and tossed and turned until dawn, Duanmu Youning was still thinking about the matter. When she came to Nangong Yu's room to say goodbye, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind: By the way! Ask Nangong Yu! She knows most of the things in the court, maybe she will know something!

"Ning'er, what are you thinking?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for most of the day, Nangong Yu couldn't hold her breath at first, "Her eyes kept blinking, but what was so difficult?"

"No, I didn't. Duanmu Youning smiled and pretended to be casual and spoke, "Mother, do you know that the Imperial Capital has not been peaceful recently......"

"I know!" Nangong Yu sighed, his hands unconsciously caressed his bulging lower abdomen, "Although I don't leave the house now because of this child, I also know that the emperor is arresting some assassins everywhere, disturbing the people all day long, pitiful ......"

Duanmu's eyes flickered slightly, and he deliberately lowered his voice: "Mother, I heard that the emperor is so angry because of his strange throne, is it true?"

Nangong Yu looked left and right, and made sure that only their mother and daughter were in the room and whispered: "If it is strange, it is really strange." Ning'er, once upon a time, you ...... In that way, he naturally didn't care about these things, so he didn't know that the former emperor Dongling Luoyang was the brother of today's son Dongling Luoxi. At that time, there was only one prince under the knees of the first emperor, named Donglin Jiangfeng, and he had been established as the crown prince for many years. Who knew that just twenty years ago, Tanglin Jiangfeng actually rebelled and killed the monarch to rebel......"

"How is it possible?" Duanmu Youning couldn't help but shake his head, "Since Donglin Jiang Feng is the only prince of the previous emperor, he will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, why does he need to kill the monarch and rebel? This is too unbelievable!"

"It's not just that you don't believe it, in fact, no one believes it at all!" Nangong Yu sneered slightly, "It is said that back then, it was the emperor who personally led the troops to find the evidence of Donglin Jiangfeng's murder of the monarch and usurpation of the throne, and claimed that the emperor had been killed by Donglin Jiangfeng, and he had to take Tanglin Jiangfeng down for questioning, and then ascend the throne himself as the emperor." And the concubines of the former emperor were sent out of the palace regardless of whether they had any appearance or not, and became nuns, and their lives and deaths are still unknown......"

Duanmu Youning was even more surprised: "That...... Concubine Rou ......"

"She's the exception. Nangong Yu sighed, "I have already told you before, the emperor has an unusual favor for Concubine Rou, which has made such a bad relationship. ”

Gradually, accepting these facts, Duanmu Youning quickly regained his ability to think: "What about the crown prince Dongling Jiangfeng, the emperor shouldn't let him go, right?"

"Naturally not!" Nangong Yu nodded, "Not long after the emperor took it down, he read out in public ten charges such as killing the monarch and usurping the throne, and then gave him a bowl of poisoned wine and forced him to take poison and commit suicide!"

"Suicide?" Duanmu Youning was stunned for a moment, "If the prince was wronged, how could he be willing to die and be infamous for eternity?"

"The prince was naturally unwilling, so I said that the emperor forced him to commit suicide by taking poison. Nangong Yu sneered again, obviously not having much affection for Tanglin Luoxi, "And in fact, the prince didn't take poison himself at all, it was the emperor who sent someone to forcibly pour poisoned wine into his mouth!"

"Ahh......h

Imagining the scene at that time, Duanmu Youning only felt a spasm in his stomach, so uncomfortable! Donglin Luo Xi was so eager to execute Donglin Jiang Feng, which in itself was extremely unusual! Could it be that the person who really killed the king and usurped the throne was actually ......

With a pang in her heart, she followed up and asked, "If this is the case, the emperor will not let go of the other heirs of the former emperor, right?"

"There is only one prince under the knees of the first emperor, and there are several princesses. "Nangong Yu ...

nodded, "But as you said, the emperor claimed that although they had not participated in the murder of the monarch and the rebellion, they were the prince's closest relatives, so they could not continue to stay in the palace, and they were also ordered to become nuns!"

Sure enough! Duanmu Youning couldn't help but sneer: "It is impossible for the crown prince to kill the king and usurp the throne, this is a big unjust case! Could it be that no one in the Manchu Dynasty has doubts about this?"

"How is it possible?" Nangong Yu sighed, "I have already said it, not only do you not believe this, everyone does not believe that the prince will do this! But at that time, everything was a foregone conclusion, the emperor had full control of the situation in the palace and the capital, even if others did not believe it, they did not dare to speak at will, otherwise they would invite death!"

Duanmu Youning took a deep breath: "You mean that the emperor will go on a killing spree?"

"Yes. Nangong Yu nodded, "Actually, although the ministers didn't dare to say anything in person, they quietly talked about it in private, saying that the prince was framed. However, if someone says something like this, it will soon be followed by a sudden death, and the cause of death is unknown. Over time, no one dared to say anything more. But even so, the emperor always knew that his throne was strange, and he kept it secret......"

It is clear that being a thief is weak-hearted. Duanmu Youning sneered disdainfully, but he finally understood why Tanglin Luo Xi was so hateful and fearful of those assassins from the previous dynasty, and he did not hesitate to make such a big move to wipe them out!

It's a pity that killing can never stop the truth from coming out!

Thinking that Donglin Luoyang's family was actually mutilated to this point, Duanmu Youning looked down on Donglin Luoxi's despicable and shameless more and more, but when she thought of Concubine Rou, she suddenly became a little worried: "The concubines and children of the first emperor have never ended well, but only Concubine Rou enjoys all the glory and wealth, isn't she afraid of being scolded and suspected by the world? For example, will anyone suspect that she and the emperor are colluding with each other......

"Why not?" Nangong Yu sneered, obviously also had a lot of criticism for Concubine Rou, "The emperor loves Concubine Rou in every way, and he favors King Zhan the most, some people have long secretly guessed that what happened back then was simply a conspiracy between the two! It's just that for fear of being assassinated by the emperor's people, no one dares to really say this guess!"
