Chapter 588: Death by the Scepter (1)
The real enemy.
The angry flames in Sheng Xuan's eyes seemed to have been doused with a basin of ice water, and quickly turned to ashes.
Oh, yes! He has no eyes, he doesn't know people, and he follows the wrong master. Reduced to the point where it is today, do you blame the Seven Princes and his wife for fighting back? Or do you blame the Three Princes and the Seventh Princes for joining forces?
It was the four princes who forced him to take all the blame.
Assassinating the prince is a serious crime to exterminate the three clans!
He will surely die!
The only hope is that my grandfather can get into the palace in time to save his life......
Xie Mingxi had already stood up straight and stepped forward without hurrying.
Xie Mingxi didn't deliberately lower his voice just now, and what Sheng Xuan said clearly and unmistakably came into everyone's ears. But none of them spoke out to ask.
Behind him came the sound of continuing to scold.
Sheng Xuan couldn't scream anymore, and let out a whine like a beast dying!
Li Xiangru had no trace of blood on his face, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. The right hand was tucked into the sleeve and clenched into a fist. Nails pinched into the palms, bursts of stinging. There was a mess in my mind.
Empress Yu stopped, and the attendant guarding the door had already greeted her attentively: "The slave has seen the queen's mother." ”
Empress Yu snorted: "Go in and spread the word, and say that the palace is leading a group of princesses and concubines to ask to see outside." ”
That's not a good idea!
The chamberlain hesitated slightly, and Queen Yu's eyes swept over: "You just have to pass it on, if the emperor is angry, everything will be borne by the palace." ”
The waiter's heart sank, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly received orders to go in and pass the word.
After a while, the chamberlain respectfully replied: "The emperor has an edict, and the queen mother and all the princesses and concubines enter the palace." ”
……
Of course, this is not the first time Xie Mingxi has entered the Qing Palace.
In her previous life, she was in charge of palace affairs for many years, and the reigning Son of Heaven was her grandson, and he was very respectful to her. She didn't care about the government and politics, and she never stretched out her hand, but often sent supper dim sum soup into the Qing Palace. Because of this, she is very familiar with the Yiqing Palace.
She lowered her eyes slightly, and together with several other princesses, she followed Queen Yu into the Yiqing Palace.
Emperor Jianwen sat on the dragon chair, the anger on his face had not faded, and the dragon's eyes were full of coldness.
Several princes stood on either side, their expressions different.
The third prince's face flashed with subtle excitement, and the fourth prince's eyes were cold and his face sank like water. The second prince and the fifth prince also had a complicated face, but only Sheng Hong showed happiness in a bright and bright manner.
Sheng Xuan has already pleaded guilty, and the crime of assassination that day fell on Sheng Xuan. Seeing the enemy ambushed, as a poor prince who was assassinated, he should be happy!
"The concubine has seen the emperor."
"My daughter-in-law has seen my father!"
Empress Yu and the princesses saluted together.
Emperor Jianwen swept his eyes and said lightly: "No courtesy, flat body!" Without waiting for Queen Yu to open her mouth, she asked: "The queen is not waiting in the Jiaofang Palace, why did she come to the Yiqing Palace?" ”
Emperor Jianwen was in an extremely bad mood today, and he didn't even have a good voice to talk to Empress Yu.
Empress Yu was not ashamed, and replied unhurriedly: "The concubine waited for a morning, and then waited for noon, and she never waited for the emperor to be seen. I was really worried about the emperor's dragon body, so I came to the Qing Palace to see what was going on. ”
"The emperor and several princes haven't had lunch yet!"
Emperor Jianwen snorted coldly: "What kind of lunch is used!" I'm full of anger! I only found out today that it was Sheng Xuan secretly plotting to assassinate the Seventh Prince! ”
"How audacious! Even the prince dared to assassinate! In the future, won't you dare to do anything to me? ”
Emperor Jianwen's cold gaze swept over the four princes' suddenly tense faces, and said coldly: "If you assassinate the prince, you should punish the three clans!" King Huainan is my imperial uncle, and I want his eldest grandson's life today, and I have to explain it to my face. lest he be resentful of the unexplained reason. ”
Finished!
Sheng Xuan's life, no one can save it!
The fourth prince felt a chill in his heart, his lips moved, and he didn't say a word.
The three princes couldn't wait for the Huainan palace to be uprooted, so naturally they would not open their mouths to plead.
Empress Yu sighed lightly: "The emperor is angry!" Sheng Xuan did such a rebellious thing, and today he was killed with a rod, leaving him with a whole corpse, which was already cheaper for him. Even if he beheaded everyone in Huainan Palace, it was nothing. The emperor, don't be angry with the dragon body! ”
Princes and princesses: "......"
On ruthlessness, who can match Queen Yu!
Emperor Jianwen only planned to take Sheng Xuan's life, and obviously had no intention of angering the Huainan Palace. Empress Yu's fluttering words implicated the whole Huainan Palace.
Emperor Jianwen, who was still angry, sneered: "I really want to ask King Huainan today." Sheng Xuan's assassination of the Seventh Prince, does he know! ”
It's okay not to know. If the king of Huainan also knew about this, he even participated in the plot and instigation...... It's no wonder that he's ruthless.
Everyone understands the principle of cutting grass and eradicating roots.
However, looking at the indifference of the emperor and queen when they talked about Huainan Palace, everyone was in their hearts.
Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi glanced at each other from afar.
If you can take advantage of today's great opportunity to uproot the Huainan Palace, it will be a good thing.
……
The king of Huainan was sick for a long time, weak and unable to walk.
Sheng Xuan was suddenly summoned into the palace, and the king of Huainan knew that things were not good. Immediately called the prince of Huainan to discuss the response. Before they could figure out what to do, someone came to the palace again.
This time, it was the Son of Heaven who summoned their father and son to enter the palace immediately.
The old face of the long-experienced King Huainan suddenly changed color.
What happened? Why did he first summon Sheng Xuan into the palace, and then summon their father and son into the palace? Hasn't the assassination of the Seven Princes a month ago been smoothed out by the Four Princes? Did something happen?
A thick shadow passed over the heart of the prince of Huainan, and he looked at the king of Huainan in horror: "Father! What happened in the palace? ”
The dark clouds in King Huainan's heart also lingered, but it was useless to panic at this time.
King Huainan said in a deep voice: "The emperor is urgently summoned, and there must be no delay. Follow me into the palace first. Remember, you are not allowed to say more than half a word today. ”
The prince of Huainan immediately responded, still worried in his heart, and helped the trembling King Huainan into the carriage.
The king of Huainan was anxious, he couldn't care about his old age and weakness, and after entering the palace gate, he walked quickly to the Yiqing Palace with the support of the prince of Huainan.
When I was far away, I saw someone outside the Yiqing Temple being punished with a rod! The thick smell of blood floated into the nose along the afternoon breeze.
Father and son are connected.
The prince of Huainan was shocked, and shouted in a lost voice: "Ah Xuan! ”
King Huainan thundered in his head, and he could no longer maintain his composure. With all the strength of his body, he shouted angrily: "Stop! Stop! ”
The two Kingsguard guards who were in charge of the staff did stop.
However, it was not because of the screaming of the father and son of the king of Huainan.
Sheng Xuan had been killed alive and completely out of breath.
