Chapter 617: Containment
What is that?
Taking this opportunity, it is his current task to eliminate all the emperor parties in Xiling and firmly control Xiling in the palm of his hand.
As for the future......
Chu Chen will not let himself indulge in grief all the time.
He will be reborn in the death of his father and shine brilliantly after being reborn.
Anyone.
No one wants to make up their minds about him, and all those who want to calculate him will eventually pay the price one by one.
Throughout the day, the once majestic officials came to mourn the king of Qingjun, and by the way, they cared about the lonely and helpless Cang Shizi.
At this time, they no longer seem to be the old foxes who intrigue and fight for power in the court, but a group of respectful elders who care about their juniors.
However, without exception, when they saw the blood stains on Chu Chen's body, they would express their doubts in a timely manner.
After hearing Chu Chenyun say lightly that he had killed the Queen Mother and Uncle Tang, everyone's faces instantly turned colorful, and they looked at Chu Chen stiffly and in horror, completely unable to believe that the person in front of him, who said that killing people was as simple as eating, was the weak and innocent little prince who once invited the county prince's mansion.
And...... And he killed the Queen Mother, his imperial grandmother......
Even if it's not biological, but the rules of the royal family ......
Even when King Qingjun is alive, he has to treat the queen mother as his mother-in-law.
However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, Chu Chen didn't care, his cold eyebrows and ruthless eyes made the scalps of the officials tingle, and they all excused themselves to retire.
When night fell, the housekeeper reminded Chu Chen that he should change into filial piety clothes, Chu Chen looked around the mourning hall and said lightly: "Let everyone go out, I want to accompany my father and mother alone." ”
The housekeeper bowed his head gloomily: "The prince wants to open something, but the matter has come to this...... Alas. ”
The people in the mourning hall quickly retreated.
Chu Chen walked to the coffin in silence, looked at his father who was lying inside, and the words of the Queen Mother sounded in his ears, and his brows couldn't help frowning deeply.
Poison.
My father led the army for half his life, not that he didn't know the emperor's defense of him, nor did he know that the queen mother was uneasy and kind, how could he easily drink the wine she gave?
There was a slight chill in the coffin, which was the cool air emitted by the placed ice cubes, which was used to preserve the body of his father.
Chu Chen pursed his lips and stared at his father's face in silence.
A bluish-black patch, a complete sign of poisoning.
Before he returned to Xiling, Duguxi said that his father had been poisoned, and it was impossible to give up the eighteen-year plan in Great Xia because of an accident.
Duguxi wants to use his father to threaten him to contain him, on the surface, he will not let his father die so soon...... But my father died at this time.
Died of the Queen Mother's poisonous wine.
According to normal people's thinking, the death of the father should be said to be the work of the Queen Mother, which has nothing to do with Daxia or Duguxi.
Because if his father dies, his bargaining chips will be gone.
However......
What if his purpose in the first place was not to threaten him at all, but only to contain him?
Knowing that his father was poisoned, whether it was true or not, Chu Chen couldn't wait to come back to confirm it, and only when he saw that his father was safe could he settle down.
As soon as he returned to Xiling, he learned of his father's death, and after he was sad and angry, and his emotions were out of control, he needed to deal with his father's funeral and needed to stay in Xiling to keep filial piety.
Even, the bloodline of the Xiling royal family is withering, if there is no one available in his hands, this Xiling King is very likely to be stripped of power and fall into an embattled situation.
