It turned out that the queen was a little suspicious when she saw Wei Zhaohua coming in, so she rushed in with people, and the Imperial Forest Army did not dare to act rashly, nor could she stop the queen's posture.

Everyone saluted, the emperor had not yet covered the coffin, and the queen was still the queen. "See the Queen."

"Shen Cuobai, you are so bold, you dare to stop this palace? The emperor's death happened suddenly, only you were by your side, didn't you poison the emperor? Want to usurp the throne? ”

The queen walked next to Shen Cuobai and said in front of the people in the hall. When Shen Cuobai heard the queen's words, there was not much abnormality on his face. "Erchen didn't mean this, but his father died suddenly, and there were still some things that were not explained clearly, and Erchen had to do it little by little, so it was delayed."

The queen raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The emperor still has a lot of things that he hasn't explained clearly?" The empress glanced in the direction of the old emperor's corpse, intentionally or unintentionally, and then asked rhetorically, "Then why did you let you do it?" ”

"This palace is the prince of Eastern Qi, why do you need a reason to do these things? At this time, the queen should assist the court to order the wife to mourn for her father, and not to do unnecessary struggles. Shen Cuobai replied.

The queen laughed out loud, "If you don't see the edict of succession in this palace, you Shen Cuobai won't think about ascending to the throne for a day." There is no justifiable reason, how can this palace let you sit on the dragon chair so easily. Among the princes, there is no one who is more capable than you. ”

Shen Cuobai looked at the queen coldly, and only then did he speak, "If the queen has any objections, then wait for tomorrow's funeral to discuss it." In the harem, the queen still has to grasp the proportions, otherwise, the identity of ** is not so easy to be. ”

"Good! The palace will naturally be a good **, and the emperor died, who would abolish the palace? ”

The queen sneered and walked outside. Wei Zhaohua looked at the back of the queen leaving, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart, unconsciously worried about Shen Cuobai. As if sensing Wei Zhaohua's concern, Shen Cuobai smiled comfortingly at Wei Zhaohua.

"These days will be more chaotic, don't think about anything, take care of yourself." Shen Cuobai walked up to Wei Zhaohua and whispered.

Wei Zhaohua nodded, holding the brocade box handed over by the old emperor in his hand, and looked at the white cloth on the bed, but the person under the white cloth had already lost his breath.

When he returned to the house, Su Chengbi had already been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. Seeing Wei Zhaohua coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"After the death knell struck, I asked Aunt Su to come to look for you, because I was afraid that you would run around. As a result, you actually ran to the palace, do you know, the current situation is very serious, and if you are not careful, you will lose your head. ”

Wei Zhaohua didn't know what to say in the face of Su Chengbi's words, Su Chengbi looked at Wei Zhaohua anxiously, and when he looked down and saw the brocade box in Wei Zhaohua's hand, he was a little curious.

"What is this?"

Wei Zhaohua looked at the brocade box in his hand, "It was left to me by the emperor." ”

Su Chengbi's heart was touched again, "The emperor left it to you?" Will you still think of you before the emperor dies? This makes you even more dangerous! ”

Wei Zhaohua shook his head, comforted Su Chengbi and said, "Don't worry, I will protect myself." Mother is waiting for me at this time, is there something wrong? ”

When Su Chengbi heard Wei Zhaohua's words, she suddenly realized that she glanced at Wei Zhaohua, "The Son of Heaven has died, and the wife must accompany the mausoleum." If I'm not in the house these days, don't let me get into trouble. ”

"Mother, don't worry, I naturally do things in a measured way, and I won't let my mother worry."

Su Chengbi shook her head helplessly, because there were still things to do in the palace, and she didn't delay, so she hurried out of Wei Zhaohua's courtyard. As soon as Su Chengbi left with his front foot, Wei Zhaohua ordered Youyou and Anyang to close the door.

"County Lord, but what's the matter?" An Yang asked in a low voice, completely losing his cynical appearance in the past.

Wei Zhaohua handed the brocade box in his hand to Youyou, "This brocade box must be very important, but it will not solve the current problem." The emperor will not be stupid to put the fate of Dongqi in the hands of my little woman. ”

Yoyo took the order and carefully put away the brocade box.

Wei Zhaohua sat at the table, rubbing his sore head. I don't know what's going on lately, and I'm always getting a headache.

"Anyang, if you have a treasure to leave to your child, but there are many people staring at this treasure, what do you have to do to complete your idea?" Wei Zhaohua asked.

An Yang thought for a moment, "If it were me, I would first deposit him in the hands of a safe person, and then hand him over to my children." This will not cause trouble for the child, nor will it give opportunities to those who are eyeing them. ”

"Deposit it in safe hands...... Deposit it in the hands of a safe person......" Wei Zhaohua muttered these two sentences back and forth, suddenly put down his hand, stood up from his seat, and looked at Youyou and An Yang were startled.

"Then that means that the edict is in the hands of someone else, and the safe person ...... Who is the most trustworthy person for the emperor? Wei Zhaohua analyzed little by little, and his mind was running rapidly.

Youyou and An Yang also seemed to understand what Wei Zhaohua meant, and they were also thinking with Wei Zhaohua, and Youyou opened his mouth and said, "Could it be Mrs. Jiang?" ”

Wei Zhaohua thought for a while and shook his head, "Although Taifu Jiang is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he has already escaped from the world. Although he will appear in the court again, he is not the one who calls the shots. ”

"Could it be that it will be handed over to the people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? For example, Commander Jiang or someone else? An Yang also said his thoughts.

Wei Zhaohua shook his head, "In today's situation, the queen trespassed into the emperor's palace and no one handed over the edict, so the person who has the edict must not be in the emperor's bedroom!" ”

Yoyo and An Yang also nodded, and then thought about who would be the one with the edict.

Countless faces flashed in Wei Zhaohua's head, and they suddenly froze on one face. "Where is my uncle now?"

Anyang heard Wei Zhaohua mention Su Chengtuo, and thought for a while, "Master Su has been taking it with him on the training ground these days, and Master Su has been following, and he didn't even go to the early dynasty." If you don't say it

, I'm afraid others are about to forget! ”

"Yes, although Lord Su is valued by the emperor, Lord Su is on the battlefield wholeheartedly, and I don't know what to think about the matter of seizing the heir!" Youyou also felt that Wei Zhaohua would not be a good candidate when he mentioned Su Chengtuo.

Wei Zhaohua shook his head, "No! Uncle will not be a person who ignores the government and government, unless someone instructs him to fade out of everyone's sight, so that he can hide from everyone and be more conducive to His Royal Highness the Prince's accession to the throne! ”

An Yang and Youyou listened to Wei Zhaohua's analysis, thought for a long time, and then spoke, "After Lord Su returned to Beijing, he seized the general's military power, if he has the emperor's edict, then he must have the ability to protect the edict!" ”

"That's right! Lord Su originally planned to go back to the frontier after seeing his wife, but he didn't expect to stay in the capital for so long. But if the emperor has always refused to let Master Su leave, the starting time will make sense? ”

The more Wei Zhaohua thought about it, the more he felt that Su Chengtuo was very likely to have the emperor's edict in his hands. Cheng An said that the old emperor had already prepared the edict, and the old emperor knew very early that his body was not good? So why is it not clear to others, and what is the purpose of hiding others like this?

Wei Zhaohua thought like this, and his heart was even more puzzled. Wei Zhaohua looked outside, hoping that Shen Cuobai would also be able to guess, and then find the edict as soon as possible and ascend the throne as emperor. Otherwise, if the queen finds it and destroys it in advance, then Shen Cuobai will really have no reason to ascend to the throne openly.

Wei Zhaohua was in his own courtyard, maybe the news of the death of the Son of Heaven was too sudden, and even the Wei Mansion was not angry. Wei Zhaohua didn't go out either, and after cleaning up, he lay on the bed to rest when the night came up. If she wasn't mistaken, I'm afraid there would be a tough battle to fight tomorrow. Even if she couldn't help Shen Cuobai, she would have to stand behind him.

Compared with Wei Zhaohua's indifference, the queen and Shen Chenmo in the Fengyin Palace were already in chaos.

"The queen mother, my father left suddenly, and seeing the emperor's brother ascending the throne is what everyone expects, in this case, what way out do we have in the future?" Shen Chenmo paced inside the main hall, as if he couldn't stop like an ant on a hot pot.

The queen closed her eyes on the high seat, "The palace has sent many people to find clues. As long as Shen Cuobai can't find the edict of the first emperor, he won't want to be on the throne as the emperor! ”

Shen Chenmo looked at the queen, "Even if there is no edict from the emperor, the imperial brother is also a righteous prince, can he change anything?" ”

The queen opened her eyes and looked at the dark room, it was already dark, but she did not let the maid light the lamp.

"This palace is in charge of the phoenix seal, if the jade seal can't do something, can't the phoenix seal still be? As long as there is no intention of the emperor, this palace can be the lord of the world! ”

Shen Cuobai accompanied the old emperor's mausoleum, it was too noisy during the day, and when night fell, it seemed a little quieter.

A black shadow quietly landed next to Shen Cuobai, "Master, I still can't find out the news of the edict." ”

Shen Cuobai sighed, "Keep checking!" ”

times

On the day, Wei Zhaohua simply cleaned up and entered the palace. Su Chengbi and Wei Qingshan didn't come back last night, and the things in the palace should have always been complicated, so that neither of them could get out.

When Wei Zhaohua arrived, the funeral had not yet begun. The old emperor had been placed in a golden coffin, and countless people gathered around him and wept bitterly. The paper burned all over the sky, and all the mourning veils were hung around, and there was a mourning.

Shen Cuobai was kneeling in front of the old emperor's coffin, looking at his red and swollen eyes, he should have not closed his eyes all night last night.
