Chapter 442: The Night Temple
Although it seems that Chen Danzhu has been forgotten and the emperor never mentions her, in fact, the place where she is being held is so well guarded that not anyone can enter, let alone take her away.
"Chu Xiurong!" Zhou Xuan kicked the cell door angrily, "At this time-"
Before he could finish his sentence, small footsteps sounded, and someone walked in and was startled at the sight of the light.
Zhou Xuan grabbed him the next moment, and the torch shone on this person's face.
"Xiaoqu?" Zhou Xuan frowned, and instead of letting go of his hand, he grabbed him tighter, "What about Danzhu?" At this time, how dangerous it is to bring her to you! Give her to me. β
Xiaoqu was almost suffocated by the tightening of his neck, and squeezed out his voice with a red face: "Master Hou, I'm here to take Miss Danzhu away, but I'm just here, what about Miss Danzhu?" β
Zhou Xuan understood, and stared at him: "Didn't you take it away?" "Let go of your hand.
Xiaoqu took a big breath and looked at the cell: "I just came, this is impossible, who else?" β
The Abolished Prince? Impossible, he is alone, and he has just entered the palace.
The fifth prince, even more impossible, although he brought people, he didn't have time-
Zhou Xuan pinched Xiaoqu again and sneered: "This is what Chu Xiurong said about the safest palace?" I said a long time ago that I would take Miss Danjoo away! β
Although Xiaoqu was choked, there was no fear in his expression: "Master Hou, now is not the time to talk about this, for the safety of Miss Danzhu, let's do the next thing well." β
The two were arguing in the cell, and Zhou Xuan's personal soldiers were calling urgently.
"Master Hou." He exclaimed, "It's not rightβ"
Zhou Xuan was interrupted impatiently, kicked Xiaoqu into the cell, and walked out: "What? Don't worry about anything else, just guard the palace gate. β
Came to the human: "The palace gate is fine for the time being, but there is something wrong outside the capital gate." β
Outside the capital? Zhou Xuan raised his eyes to look at the night sky in the distance, and there seemed to be a little starlight in the thick inky night sky gradually lit up.
......
......
The harem seemed to be brighter, and Chu Xiurong stood in front of the hall, watching the guards escorting the five princes swim towards the queen's coffin like a fiery snake.
"Your Highness." Xiaoqu rushed in.
Chu Xiurong asked, "Is Miss Danzhu settled?" β
Xiaoqu shook her head: "Miss Danzhu is gone." β
Chu Xiurong's expression was slightly stunned.
"It's not Zhou Xuan." Xiaoqu said hurriedly, thought about it and shook his head, "Who knows if he deliberately deceived people." β
His Royal Highness became indecisive when he thought of Chen Danzhu, he should not be distracted by Miss Danzhu at this time, but in order to appease Chu Xiurong, he still had to solve Miss Danzhu's matter.
"If it's in Zhou Xuan's hands, it's fine, if it's not there, the fifth prince shouldn't be thereβ" Xiaoqu analyzed it seriously, and was ready to be distracted and split people to find it.
Chu Xiurong shook his head and interrupted him: "Don't think about it." β
Who, you don't even care about Miss Danzhu? Xiaoqu was a little unaccustomed to it, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"Actually, there's no safe place here." Chu Xiurong laughed at himself, "I'm good, Zhou Xuan is good, compared with the crown prince, the fifth prince, and His Majesty, it's the same for Miss Danzhu." β
That-Xiaoqu comforted him: "Maybe Miss Danzhu ran away by herself, she hid by herself, it may be safer." β
Chu Xiurong sighed lightly: "Actually, it's not that I can protect Miss Danzhu, maybe, I, and many people, are safe because of Miss Danzhu-"
This is even more incomprehensible, Xiaoqu is a little confused, so it's still like this, when he sees His Royal Highness Miss Danzhu, it will become slimy, and if he doesn't see it, he will be like this, he is busy changing the topic.
"Your Highness, just now I overheard Zhou Xuan's subordinates say that the situation outside is not right." "But I asked him, and he said it's okay, reassure us - this guy isn't very reassuring." β
Chu Xiurong smiled: "Don't care, people have already come in, the big drama will start, it won't stop, who is credible and who is not, and who is thinking about something, it doesn't matter." β
Then he looked at the Queen's Palace.
"The Five Princes have already made a fuss, right?"
.....
.....
The five princes walked into the queen's mourning hall, with ropes still tied to their bodies, looking at the coffin, looking at the furnishings, and looking at the burning incense, it seemed that they had finally confirmed that the queen had really passed away.
But unlike the waste prince, he did not cry or kneel, but raised his head angrily and roared.
"Who killed my mother!"
With shouting, he raised his feet and kicked over the incense candles and braziers on the offering table.
The people in the mourning hall were in a panic, tonight it was the emperor who authorized the abolished prince and the five princes to keep the queen's spirit, and everyone else avoided it, except for the eunuchs and palace maids, there were only a few officials who were on duty at night in the young mansion, where could they stop the crazy five princes, they could only put out the fire in a disorderly manner, so as not to set the entire palace on fire.
Chu Jinrong stepped forward and grabbed the five princes.
"The queen mother committed suicide." Chu Jinrong burst into tears, "If you have to say that someone killed the queen mother, that's me, it's me who failed the queen mother, it's me who is sorry for her-"
The fifth prince pushed him away: "Don't be confused, it's clear that someone wants to kill us all!" The queen mother was killed by someone, don't want my mother to die unjustly! β
As he spoke, he shook off Chu Jinrong, made a big noise, and went to hit the coffin again.
It's really not like a joke here, the officials of the Shaofu Prison can only report to the emperor, and the emperor didn't sleep, and threw the military newspaper of Xijing in his hand on the table.
"I know this beast is not alive! Bring him here! β
.....
.....
The main hall is brightly lit, the emperor sits on the throne, the dormitory is not as solemn as the main hall, and there is a screen behind the throne, which is wide and exquisite.
The five princes were tied up and escorted over by the guards, Chu Jinrong staggered to follow, and the concubines and princes heard the commotion, and they all hurriedly came over.
The five princes were pushed into the main hall.
"Brute." The Emperor shouted, "Kneel." β
The fifth prince was pressed to the ground by the guards who followed him around his neck.
Chu Jinrong also knelt down, and kowtowed heavily on his head: "Father, it's all my fault." β
The fifth prince knelt and sneered: "What's wrong with you!" You've been killed, I've been killed, and the Queen Mother has been killedβ" He looked at the throne, "Father, how long will you harbor the real murderer!" β
The emperor said coldly: "It's really ridiculous, is it fake that you attacked and killed Chu Xiurong?" Looking at Chu Jinrong again, "Is it fake that you attacked and killed the doctor who treated me?" Why did it become someone else who harmed you? Who can harm you? β
The fifth prince looked at the concubines and princes standing on both sides, his eyes fell on Chu Xiurong, and shouted: "Chu Xiurong, it's you, you killed my mother!" β
Chu Xiurong and King Lu of Yan stood together, and when they heard the words of the five princes, King Lu of Yan subconsciously dodged to the side-
This is the old feud between the five princes and Chu Xiurong, and it has nothing to do with them.
Chu Xiurong's expression was calm, and he walked out to meet the sight of the five princes: "You rely on nonsense to harm people now, how can I harm the queen?" β
The fifth prince looked at Chu Xiurong coming over, he slowly stood up, a weird smile appeared on his face, his shoulders, neck and body stretched, and with his movements, the ropes that were originally tied to his body spread out and fell to the ground.
His hand reached out and he pulled a knife from under his robe.
The people around were shocked, and many people subconsciously screamed.
What's going on?
How could the Five Princes have a knife?
Why did the fifth prince enter the palace with a knife?
"How do you hurt the Queen? I don't need to know, and I don't debate with you. The fifth prince waved his sword, looked at Chu Xiurong and smiled, "I just want to kill you!" β
The shocked people all came back to their senses again, and the screams were louder, and Concubine Xu rushed towards this side.
The emperor on the throne shouted angrily: "Take this beast!" β
There was a loud bang, armor, swords, and gunshots, and several guards in the hall who escorted the five princes came forward, but instead of taking down the five princes, they surrounded Chu Xiurong.
At the same time, more than a dozen guards also poured in outside the hall, still not rushing to restrain the five princes, but blocking the door of the main hall, and Qi Qi's long knives flashed with cold light in the hall as bright as day.
The noise suddenly disappeared, and the hall was silent.
What's going on? Did the guards hear it wrong?
No, these guards heard correctly, everyone in the hall knew it very well in their hearts, and their faces turned pale in an instant.
The emperor on the throne also seemed to be frightened, looking at the scene in front of him, motionless.
The fifth prince let out a wild laugh and pointed the knife in his hand at Chu Xiurong.
"Chu Xiurong! You're dead today! β
