Chapter 207
"Be careful, stand firm!" The third prince helped Ye Zhiqing with concern, and chuckled in her ear: "Zhou Qianke hasn't come back yet, what are you panicking about?" β
Ye Zhiqing climbed on Xiao Wei's arm with her backhand, and the whole person trembled, as if she had finally returned to her soul, and said tremblingly: "Minnu...... The people's daughters are all on the three highnesses, even if Zhou Qianke comes back, it has nothing to do with the people's daughters! β
Xiao Wei's eyes flashed with disgust, and he mocked: "I really don't know if the woman who shared the joys and sorrows with Zhou Qianke at the beginning was you?" A woman's heart is so fickle! Gently pushed her away: "This king still has something to do, you take care of your father in the inner hall, don't let irrelevant people come in and disturb your father!" Although His Highness has the Praetorian Guard on duty, he still habitually admonishes him. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
Ye Zhiqing watched Xiao Wei leave, clutching her chest for a while, and finally poured two sips of hot tea before swallowing the nausea and going to the inner room to see Emperor Wei.
When she entered, Emperor Wei was closing his eyes, but his breathing didn't seem to sound calm, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was her, and his eyes looked behind her.
"His Royal Highness asked the people to come in to serve His Majesty, he has something to do!"
Ye Zhiqing tried her best to calm her voice, the slightest tremor still revealed her mood, Emperor Wei's eyes were full of understanding, and when she approached, she knelt on her foot to check his pulse, and no one followed behind him, he finally whispered: "Princes...... Killed, right? β
"Your Majesty" Ye Zhiqing's fingers pressed on his old and flabby skin trembled, and for a while he couldn't even touch the pulse, and looked up at him in fright, but saw Emperor Wei's eyes flash: "This rebel!" β
The rebel in his mouth was leading a team of Praetorian Guards to the East Palace at the moment, and the torch dragon illuminated the road it was traveling, which made Xiao Wei have an illusion, as if he was walking on a bright road.
The forbidden army guarding the East Palace saw the murderous arrival of the three princes, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in the hearts of the forbidden army on duty.
The prince's study was brightly lit, and during the day, the prince's prisoners and disciples were sit-in and demonstrating at the gate of the palace, and the matter of petitioning for the prince, together with the actions of the princes in the court, had reached his ears, and he immediately smiled bitterly after hearing the news, his life was in danger, and these people had bad intentions and wanted to roast him on the fire.
The quiet night was broken by the sound of iron armor and footsteps outside, the prince pushed open the door of the study, the night was as cold as water, and the long dragon of torches in the distance meandered in, and it was the third prince Xiao Wei who was in the middle of the stars.
When he got closer, he made an exaggerated salute to Xiao Xuan: "My brother has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" β
"The third brother is flat, I don't know if I'm coming here so late, but what's the matter?"
Xiao Wei glanced at Hu Guichun next to him, who understood and slowly unfolded the holy decree in his hand: "Our family was ordered by His Majesty, because Prince Cha colluded with the third prince and the fourth prince to go to the Qiankun Palace to assassinate His Majesty, and specially came to read the will. β
Xiao Xuan's pupils shrank sharply: "This is a frame!" I want to see my father! β
Xiao Wei made a gesture, the Praetorian Guards Hula stepped forward a few people, the cold blade was on the prince's neck, and a sergeant kicked down from the crook of the knee, and the prince knelt down involuntarily.
Hu Guichun unfolded the decree and began to read it, Xiao Xuan's mind was buzzing, and he could only hear "...... The ambition of the wolf son of the East Palace, inciting all the princes to gather to make trouble, intending to usurp the throne ......", as if countless needles were deeply pierced into his mind, making him have a splitting headache.
It turns out that the so-called father-son affection, blindly retreating and showing weakness, can't even protect themselves, how ridiculous!
He knelt there in despair, waiting for Hu Guichun to finish reciting the holy decree, Xiao Wei motioned to the Praetorian Guards to let go of him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter should really be resentful of the younger brother, it is the will of the father, and the fourth and fifth emperors have all admitted that it was the imperial brother who provoked them to assassinate their father, and besides, the father also believed it!" β
If you want to add sin, why bother?!
Xiao Xuan's heart was like ashes, and at the moment when he raised his head and looked at Xiao Wei, a thought flashed in his mind, making him anxious to verify, he rushed up and snatched the holy decree in Hu Guichun's hand, and four or five knives behind him stabbed into his body, and someone shouted: "Protect the Third Highness!" β
He spat out a mouthful of blood and threw himself on the ground, half of the holy decree in his hand was soaked with blood, and then rolled down from his hand and unfolded to the ground, but he saw that it was empty, and there was no ink on it, but it was a brocade silk that had not yet been written.
The prince's eyes burst out and he fell in a pool of blood, staring at the dark sky, the stars were falling, and the night was not sun.
Xiao Wei squatted down and slowly closed his eyes for the prince, feeling the gradual loss of body temperature under his hands, and ordered: "The children of the concubines and concubines of the East Palace will all be killed on the spot!" β
The Praetorian Guards were ordered to divide into several groups and rush to the prince's harem, and soon there were cries of palace people everywhere and panicked eunuchs running around.
When the crown princess heard the commotion outside, her confidants and palace people cried and reported: "Niangniang, Your Highness...... His Royal Highness has been killed, Niangniang quickly find a way to escape! She sneered: "
