Chen Yicong had a premonition of danger, and before the eunuch could continue to speak, he rushed towards the exit at a lightning speed-

His mausoleum keeper is just outside the Sanxi Hall!

No matter what this group of eunuchs wants to say now, he has to take the soldiers first-

"Stop him." Almost at the same time that the eunuch gave such an order, several palace people who had been guarding this room had already chased Chen Yicong to both sides.

The boy kicked against the wall and rose to his feet, almost narrowly avoiding the wrists that the two men had buckled.

"Rebellion again?" Chen Yicong scolded sharply, "Who gave you eunuchs the guts!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid said, there is a will-"

"Someone!! Come!! Chen Yicong roared hoarsely at the closed window—his voice must have been heard by his mausoleum keepers in the silence of the night.

At the same time, however, a deafening bronze bell rang in the courtyard of Sanxi Hall.

The palace people who had been guarding the window also pulled down the heavy curtain at this time, so the bell that had just shaken people's ears suddenly weakened.

The entire main hall of Sanxi Hall has also truly become a place isolated from the outside world at this time.

Chen Yicong didn't bother anymore, he picked up the silver paper candlestick nearby, and viciously hit the palace people who were in the way, every blow was merciless and aimed at the key point-

"Your Highness, stop." The old eunuch's voice came from behind him again.

Chen Yicong's gaze swept back briefly, and the movement of the whole person suddenly froze - the eunuch who was the leader took out a short dagger at some point, and the blade was leaning against Zhen's neck.

In this moment of hesitation, Chen Yicong was grabbed by the shoulder, twisted his hands behind him, and was so caught that he couldn't move.

"You dare to bring a knife into the palace...... How dare you bring a knife into the palace! Chen Yicong's gaze was almost crazy, "Who is it!?" Who told you to do this? ”

Seeing that Chen Yicong had been controlled, the eunuch threw away the knife, and even respectfully helped Zhen to stand up again.

"Father-in-law Tian......" Zhen looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes were extremely stunned, "What are you doing?" ”

"The slave and the maid have a will." The man's voice was calm, "Niangniang and Your Highness, can you wait for the slave maid to finish speaking?" ”

“…… You said. ”

Father-in-law Tian solemnly took out a sealed decree from his sleeve, he cut the end of the sealed thread, and then skillfully pulled off the sealed cotton thread.

However, he did not announce the decree as usual, but directly handed the holy decree that had been opened to the Zhen family.

"Let's see for myself." He said in a calm voice.

Zhen hesitantly took it, and the other little eunuch even took a bright candle from the side very intimately to illuminate Zhen.

The entire hall fell silent, and Chen Yicong also held her breath and looked at her mother intently.

Soon, the decree fell from Zhen's hands, and Chen Yicong saw her mother's eyes fill with tears again—with disbelief, with unprecedented cold.

“…… It turned out that they wanted me to be buried. ”

Zhen let out a few words of despair and muttered, her gaze swept over the Qitai Emperor who was still cold, "Are you sorry for all these days, are you saying it for this......"

The word martyrdom was like a nail, which was inserted into Chen Yicong's heart almost instantly.

The young man's whole body was like falling into an ice cave, only to feel dizzy in front of him, a ringing in his ears, his hands and feet were cold and numb to the point that he lost consciousness, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"The slave maid has been in Prince Gong's mansion and has served the emperor and the mother for so many years," the old eunuch's voice was low, with a little regret, "I never thought that when I came, I would do such a thing, it's really ...... I am ashamed of my mother's care over the years. ”

Zhen raised his head and looked at the intricately patterned ceiling of Sanxi Hall.

“…… Why? ”

"The emperor said that he was afraid that he would not be able to cope with it alone, so he ordered the slave and maid to send his mother on the road within one hour of his soul returning to the western sky." The old eunuch looked at Zhen, "It's too late, he's afraid he won't be able to find you." ”

Zhen let out a sneer, "That...... How does he want me to die? ”

"The emperor has prepared a wine, and the effect is ...... Soon. The old eunuch whispered, "He...... I am probably reluctant to see my mother suffer. ”

Zhen lowered his head and let out a series of laughs.

The laughter creeped everyone.

"Hongu ...... I want to see the moon again tonight. Zhen raised his eyes, "...... This request is not excessive. ”

"Niangniang doesn't have to do any more struggle," the old eunuch said with deep eyes, "The slave knows that you have the means to recruit the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the night of the palace change, so you can't take half a step out of these three Xitang tonight, if the time comes, the mother doesn't want to drink, and the slaves and maids can only do it themselves and send you on the road." ”

"Wait!" Chen Yicong suddenly shuddered, he raised his head and looked at the old eunuch, "You do this...... What's in it for yourselves? I am the current prince of Da Zhou, and I am the future son of heaven! If you dare to kill my mother, you will wait for me to ascend the throne—"

"Your Highness, those who are still standing in this room will not survive tonight except you."

“…… What do you mean? ”

"We've all taken the poison." The old eunuch said slowly, "This is the emperor's will after all. ”

Chen Yicong's teeth trembled, and tears silently burst out of his eyes.

He thought painfully about how to ask for help, and big tears fell to the ground, and the bruised tendons on his forehead made him look hideous at the moment, like a caged beast.

"Why ......" Chen Yicong's hatred had almost overflowed from his eyes, "Emperor...... The emperor can ...... Mischief? ”

The old eunuch was silent for a moment.

"Yes." His voice didn't have a little wave, "The emperor's will, no one in the world can disobey it." ”

……

In the Qin Garden, Heng Yuanjun was a little sleepless tonight.

He sat in the courtyard all the time, unable to even concentrate on playing chess.

Finally, the familiar sound of landing came from a corner of the courtyard, and Han Chong came back.

"How?" Heng Yuanjun immediately asked.

"It is true that as Ming Gong expected, Sanxi Hall is a little strange tonight," Han Chong said softly, "The bronze bell was not ringing by the emperor's dragon couch, but was moved to the courtyard, and all the palace doors were closed, and there was no light in the room. ”

"Didn't you dive in and take a look?"

"The prince's mausoleum guards have surrounded the entire Sanxi Hall, and the ministers have checked it several times, and there is no dead end to sneak into."

Heng Yuanjun frowned slightly, "...... No, we can't wait any longer. ”

"What does Ming Gong want to do?"

"Take the Divine Machine Battalion." Heng Yuanjun looked at the night sky in the east with some concern, "I'm going to go to Sanxi Hall in person." ”
