Chapter 188: Autumn of Many Deaths (Part II)

"Endure it...... Don't fall asleep...... Don't fall asleep......"

only heard the crisp sound of "bang", and the palace maid Xiaoju's head suddenly hit the nearby pillar, and it hurt.

Awake, this time completely awake.

Xiao Ju hurriedly straightened her chest and stood upright, her eyes secretly aimed to the right. Call...... Fortunately, Concubine Chen didn't notice it. But Xiaowen Gonggong, who was standing near her, lowered his head, his shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was secretly laughing. It's bad, it's bad, he must have seen the stupid appearance of himself just napping.

Xiao Ju was full of frustration, and couldn't help but glance at Concubine Chen again. Usually at this time, the mother has already washed and slept, it is said that her delicate face that loves flowers and flowers is maintained in this way, and this habit has not been changed for nearly 20 years after entering the palace. It's really strange today, not only are her eyes blazing and she doesn't feel sleepy, but her whole body is tense and ready to go, I don't know what I'm waiting for.

Could it be because of Grandpa Su's hanging today?

It's not like it's not. When did the mother take the lives of the minions so seriously? She only has her son Four Princes in her heart. Besides, there are not one or two people who have died in this Huaning Palace.

Xiao Ju suddenly shivered, she remembered Mama Li who died in a strange well last year. It seems that the position where he is standing now is the place where Mama Li used to stand.

"! Empress! A loud duck's voice, which had changed his tone, suddenly came in from outside, breaking the deathly silence in the hall.

Concubine Chen, who was thinking about her thoughts, immediately bounced up from the couch, and her movements were as fast as if she had practiced martial arts, which scared Xiaoju and Xiaowen a lot.

A eunuch rushed in from outside the hall in a panic, and when he saw Concubine Chen, he fell to his knees, but his whole body trembled like a sieve, and he couldn't say a word.

Xiao Ju clearly felt that Concubine Chen's breathing suddenly became heavy and short. I saw her slowly walking towards the eunuch step by step, her feet seemed to be wearing shoes weighing a thousand pounds, and she walked extremely heavy.

"Say, what's wrong?" Concubine Chen asked calmly.

The eunuch shrank back in fear and said, "Niangniang...... You, you have to hold ......."

These words have already foreshadowed the direction of the matter. It's over, it's lost! Concubine Chen felt a little dizzy, and her legs were so weak that she could barely stand.

The guards who were ambushed in Yuqing Palace were none other than hers, who her younger brother Liu Muzhi had picked out a few years ago, just in case there was an emergency. She thought that these people would be needed at least when the emperor died, but she didn't want it to be today. It's just that an inconspicuous little eunuch has something wrong, and she has to fight to the death in advance.

"Niangniang...... "The eunuch continued, "just sent someone from the imperial study to report that the fourth prince was ...... He's dead! ”

"Ahh Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Only Concubine Chen has not yet responded.

There was a dead silence in the hall, and no one dared to make the slightest sound, let alone move the slightest.

"What do you say!!" Concubine Chen suddenly came back to her senses, and she didn't know where she got the strength, so she grabbed the eunuch from the ground and shouted, "You tell the palace again!" ”

Looking at Concubine Chen, who seemed to have lost her mind, the eunuch was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and she trembled and squeezed out a few words from her throat: "Fourth prince...... It's gone! ”

"Who said that?! How could he die if he was so good! How could it be dead! "Concubine Chen really can't believe it. didn't wait for the news of the death of the third prince, how could he be involved with his son!

"Slaves, slaves don't know...... I only heard that the four princes died suddenly while playing chess with the emperor......"

"Impossible...... It can't be ......" Concubine Chen pushed the eunuch away, muttered to herself for a while, and suddenly shouted: "I know! This must be fake news spread by the third child! ”

"I'm going to check it out! My Emperor must be fine! She screamed as she rushed out, and soon disappeared into the night.

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly chased out.

The fourth prince was indeed dead, and he swallowed his breath just when the imperial doctor arrived. No matter how the emperor roared and coerced, the imperial doctors were still powerless.

In order to facilitate treatment, the injured third prince was also carried to the imperial study. He was ambushed by the Assassins, stabbed in the arm and back. The wounds were so deep that it was clear that the assassins were ruthless and would take their lives. Fortunately, he dodged in time, and the knife did not hurt the fatal position. Compared to his unlucky younger brother and Yan Liu'er, who died tragically under the knife, Sheng Xuanyuan's injury was nothing.

When Concubine Chen rushed to the imperial study and saw her son's body, she immediately screamed and fainted. After the queen mother learned the news, she also rushed to visit, and when she saw that her two grandchildren were dead and one was injured, she suddenly had a recurrence of heart disease and fainted to the ground. The doctors hurried up to save the two of them, and they were in a mess for a while.

In this sad atmosphere and chaotic scenes, only one person remained silent and watched coldly. That person was Sheng Xuanyuan.

Sheng Xuanming's death was also an accident for him. Everyone didn't understand why the four princes died suddenly, and the death was so terrifying. But he knew very well why it was.

One report and one report. Whether it is to him or to Concubine Chen, it is very fair.

Today, when he learned about the conspiracy more than ten years ago, he was bent on coming to his father and letting the truth be revealed. But now he lay here quietly, watching these ghostly people coming and going, listening to the sound of the cry of true affection one after another, he suddenly felt that everything in front of him seemed so false and hollow, that it could not be compared to the pain of a knife piercing the flesh.

What about the truth? What about illusions? There is still a battle to be made above the horns, let alone this vast empire? As long as you win this throne in your hands, you can dominate the world, and all living beings will be at your disposal! Who can resist such temptation?

He couldn't.

I don't know if it was because of excessive blood loss or because of the anesthetic, Sheng Xuanyuan felt a little tired, and his eyelids began to heavily. I don't know how long later, in a drowsy state, he saw his father come to the bed, looked at him quietly for a while, and then sat down beside him and asked, "Who instructed those assassins today?" ”

Sheng Xuanyuan reluctantly raised his eyelids, licked his dry lips and said with difficulty: "Erchen doesn't know. If the Emperor wanted to find out who was behind it, he could interrogate the Assassins himself. ”

The emperor was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the death of the fourth child has a lot to do with you?" ”

Sheng Xuanyuan suddenly came to his senses, but his face was still dazed, and he only heard him say: "If the person who died today is a son, I don't know what my father thinks." ”

The emperor was speechless.
