After all, the queen is the master of the harem, and she has experienced so many ups and downs for decades, but in the end she still reacted quickly, the emperor, the crown prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince were all killed on the same day, and the way of death was exactly the same, it was obviously from the same person, but what kind of person was it that dared to slaughter the royal family of the Eastern Empire so boldly?

She slapped her right hand the side of the bed, calmed down, and ordered: "Come on, hurry up and invite the ministers to the meeting hall, there are important matters to discuss with them in this palace." ”

The top priority now is to deal with the affairs of the prince, otherwise not only will there be chaos in the palace, but the entire Eastern Empire will also fall into chaos.

In the meeting hall, all the court officials gathered here, and were discussing the news they had received, when the voice of "the queen has arrived" came from outside the hall.

In the next second, the queen mother walked into the meeting hall, and the officials were about to kneel and salute, but the queen raised her hand to stop: "Ministers, there is no need to salute, this palace wants to discuss with the ministers how to deal with the matter in front of them." ”

She sat down on the throne and continued: "I believe that you Aiqing have also known the news that the emperor, the crown prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince were all killed by traitors last night. ”

The ministers nodded, they hurried into the palace only after they got this news.

The queen looked at the ministers and asked, "Do you have any suggestions, and what do you think we should do now?"

The ministers looked at each other, and an official of the queen's party stood up and said: "Queen Mother, Weichen thinks that we should find out the murderer first, this person is so fierce and cruel, if we don't find him out as soon as possible, I'm afraid something bad will happen." ”

The queen's party echoed one after another, and at this time the prime minister stood up and arched his hand: "Back to the queen, the old minister thinks that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and now there is only one prince left in the entire royal family, and the old minister thinks that the most important thing at this time is to let the four princes ascend the throne first, and then let him preside over the aftermath of the emperor and several princes and the arrest of the murderer." ”

When the queen heard this, her nails were pinched into the flesh of her palm, the prince of this palace had just been killed, and his position was about to be taken by others, she hated that murderer so much, she really hated it!

Yes, the murderer, she tried to control her expression: "Ministers, this palace wants to ask you a question first, have you ever wondered who the murderer is?"

Ministers, look at me, I'll look at you, no one spoke out for a while, the murderer was obviously aimed at the Eastern royal family, they couldn't imagine that anyone could have such a great ability to kill the emperor and others without alarming anyone in the palace.

Seeing this, the queen said: "The palace thinks something is very strange, why did the murderer kill the emperor, the crown prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince, but did not kill the fourth prince?"

"This ......" The ministers didn't know why the murderer alone did not kill the four princes.

The prime minister asked hesitantly: "Queen Mother, do you mean that you suspect that the fourth prince is the murderer?"

The queen shook her head and said, "Who the murderer is, Bengong doesn't know, Bengong just has some doubts and raises it." ”

The military department Shangshu stood up and said: "Weichen thinks that the murderer will not be the four princes, there are three worshippers in the palace, two are Emperor Xuan, and one is Emperor Xuan, the murderer can quietly kill the emperor under their noses, its cultivation can be imagined, how can the four princes do it?"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is a member of the prince's party, and after receiving the queen's eyes, he immediately stood up and retorted: "Maybe the four princes sent someone else to do it?"

Bingbu Shangshu shook his head: "This is also unlikely, if there is such a master under the fourth prince, and he has ambitions for the throne, then how can he keep a low profile in the palace?" In fact, he wanted to say that he had no sense of existence, but the exit was still low-key.

Everyone was silent, and the military department Shangshu said very reasonably, the four princes were the most unexistent among the princes, because his biological mother was humble, so he had been bullied by other princes and princesses, and the emperor also ignored him, if it weren't for the fact that he was the only prince left this time, they couldn't remember that there was such a fourth prince as him in the palace.

As for why the murderer killed the emperor and several other princes, but only did not kill the four princes, maybe the murderer forgot that there was such a person as the four princes like them?

Seeing the changes in the faces of the ministers, the queen knew that they didn't believe that the four princes would be the ones who killed the king, in fact, she didn't believe it very much in her heart, but as soon as her crown prince died, his position was occupied by others, and she inevitably felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She spoke: "Let's send someone to find the fourth prince first." ”

In the conference hall, everyone was worried about the throne and the murderer, and Mu Liyue and Mo Jue were not so troubled in the prison.

Mu Liyue heard that outside the prison, the jailer was discussing the murder of Dongfang Zhen and several princes, and couldn't help but sigh that although there were no communication tools such as mobile phones in ancient times, the speed of news transmission was not slow at all.

"Mo Jue, can that fourth prince really ascend the throne?" asked Mu Liyue.

Mo Jue nodded: "Well, they have no choice, unless they don't want to ascend to the throne with the surname Dongfang." ”

"Okay, then we can only wait for the fourth prince to ascend the throne before letting us out. Mu Liyue said.

In order to prevent the Mo Wangfu from being labeled as a rebel and being able to get out of the prison with dignity, they could only wronged themselves to stay in the prison for a few more days, but fortunately, everything was ready in the space ring of Mo Jue, and she was on vacation.

As expected, three days later, the fourth prince ascended to the throne with the support of the prime minister and others, and he quickly dealt with the aftermath of Dongfang Zhen and several princes, and also solved the chaos everywhere with thunderous means, and the palace and other places also returned to normal.

The four princes' statecraft and tough methods also made the ministers change from apprehension to surprise, they didn't expect that the four princes, who had been inconspicuous, would not lose to the prince in a martial arts strategy, and even stronger than the prince, which made them more loyal to the newly enthroned emperor.

The queen originally wanted to control the four princes and be the behind-the-scenes king of the Eastern Empire, but she was caught off guard by this reversal, she sent assassins to kill the four princes, but the assassins were caught red-handed, and finally the East Window incident occurred, and the queen also hanged herself in her own bedroom.

At this point, the four princes completely controlled the entire Eastern Empire, and then he didn't know where to find the murderer of the emperor and several princes, and divided his five horses into corpses in public, calming down the speculation of the murderer.
