"What's going on?" King Chen asked.

Wang Hai said anxiously: "Just now, a palace guard came to spread that woman ...... Even the woman who was holding the corpse of King Yong also bit her tongue and committed suicide! sat in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace and committed suicide by biting their tongues, they didn't look at it for a while! ”

King Chen and King Jing were both stunned, and Zhuo Jiu on the side was also shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"I don't know, anyway, the guards came to pass it, and they were in a hurry, it didn't look like they were kidding us!" Wang Haidao.

"Oops...... So...... It's true! King Yong is indeed dead, otherwise why would that woman kill herself? What's the trick to come up with, isn't it? ”

King Chen frowned and nodded.

This is already undeniable.

sighed, and said to King Jing, who was still stunned: "Let's go, let's ...... Go collect the body of the eldest brother. ”

"Hey......" King Jing sighed and followed.

King Chen turned around and instructed Zhuo Jiu: "You go and call a few people in our house and follow up." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhuo Jiu answered, and his voice was heavy for no reason.

……

Zhiqiu just stopped at the gate of the courtyard and looked in for a while, and Xiao Tao came out, but it didn't take much effort. The people who explained Rong Yunxi whispered to Xiao Tao, and then walked quickly to Yanlaiju.

Xiao Tao didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly went back to tell Qin Yingyue what she heard from Zhiqiu, and at the end, she asked, "Master, should we go over and have a look?" ”

I thought about this, and I said it, and I really didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Shouldn't they go and see what happened like this? It's normal to want to take a look, right?

But Qin Yingyue raised her eyes to look at her, with an obvious and displeased look in her eyes. Qin Yingyue put down the book in her hand and ordered casually: "Go and pour me a cup of tea." ”

"Yes." Xiao Tao was so frightened that she hurriedly responded, and she didn't dare to go out and pour tea for Qin Yingyue.

He respectfully placed the teacup on the small desk and bowed down. Qin Yingyue stopped her and said, "I'm not busy." ”

"Yes." Xiao Tao took a few steps forward and continued to wait for Qin Yingyue's orders.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Xiao Tao shook her head, but nodded hurriedly, but she was frightened by Qin Yingyue.

"Well, since you're nodding, tell me what you're doing wrong." Qin Yingyue said.

Xiao Tao hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yes...... Be...... It was the slave who said the wrong thing. ”

"Did you say the wrong thing, what's wrong with that?" Qin Yingyue asked.

Xiao Tao was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The slave is stupid, please punish the master......"

Qin Yingyue held the teacup, glanced at her with disgust, and did not call her up. Instead, he explained unhurriedly: "If you ask me if I want to see it, I have already fallen for the plan of the Zhaode Academy." The meaning of the Shotokuin Temple is that they want me to go and see it, so as to displease His Highness. If I say that I have always cared about King Yong, but what Zhiqiu told us, then I have fallen into the plan. On the side of Zhaodeyuan, there must be a response, and there will be an illusion that I have wronged her. I'll have a hundred mouths, and I won't be able to tell. ”

"What the master said was that all the slaves and maids were too stupid, and they thought about it for a while. Saying something that shouldn't be said, it almost made a big mistake! Xiao Tao had to answer busily.

But what she was thinking in her heart was, didn't Qin Yingyue care about King Yong's suicide at all? From just now to now, I haven't heard her ask even a word like "true or false", and she is focused on calculating the contest with Rong Yunxi. King Keyong, after all, is her husband.

Qin Yingyue sneered: "It's not a big mistake, after all, I won't be affected by your stupidity." It's just a little peach...... You have been with me for a long time, and our master and servant must be with us for a long time, you are always so confused, how can I rest assured? It's okay to have me here, but if I don't have me, one day you think about it and make a big mistake, but how should it end? If you kill me with me, you won't even have anyone to save your life. ”

Qin Yingyue said a paragraph that was said in earnest terms, which made Xiao Tao listen to it and be less nervous than before.

Hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave is confused, thanks to the master's constant reminders." The great kindness of the master to the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid always remember it in their hearts and dare not forget it. The slave must be cautious in everything in the future, and must ...... I will do my best not to cause trouble to my master. ”

Qin Yingyue had long felt that she was a piece of hob meat, and when she heard her say such things, she had no patience. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "You stand down, let me read quietly for a while." ”

"Yes." Xiao Tao answered.

deliberately got up slowly, wanting to see what else Qin Yingyue had to say.

But Qin Yingyue was already immersed in reading, and she didn't mean to tell her at all.

But...... After all, King Yong is Qin Yingyue's husband, whether she wants to admit it or not, after all, she is also a person who has been close to her skin, how can she not care at all? For his death, it was so peaceful.

Xiao Tao felt that Qin Yingyue was really terrifying.

……

Outside Weiyang Palace, King Chen and King Jing hurried over, followed by a few family members brought by Zhuo Jiu.

Commander Xiao greeted him and said, "The lower officials were afraid that it would be unlucky for the two corpses to be blocked at the palace gate, and it would inevitably cause the people's ideas and riots, so he ordered the two corpses to be moved aside." Your Highness, please look at ......"

Commander Xiao pointed to the two corpses lying flat under the wall of the palace on the side.

King Chen and King Jing looked at each other, both affectionate and solemn......

When I walked in front of the two corpses, I saw that the one lying quietly with a face as white as paper was indeed King Yong and the loyal female dark guard Weaving Star. Both of them had clotted blood from their mouths and no other wounds on their bodies, so they either took poison or committed suicide by biting their tongues. Since someone saw Weaving Star bite his tongue and commit suicide, and King Yong had no poison to find in the prison, he naturally bit his tongue and committed suicide.

King Chen and King Jing watched quietly for a long time......

King Chen came back to his senses first, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and made a gift to King Yong to send his eldest brother, and he couldn't afford to bow for a long time.

King Jing also followed the same as King Chen, and made a bow to the corpse of King Yong, and waited until King Chen got up, and after two breaths, he got up.

King Chen said to Xiao Tong: "Your Majesty is not in good health, and the matter of King Yong's suicide should be suppressed first, and the palace will tell Your Majesty more slowly." As for the matter between the eldest brother and this woman at the gate of Weiyang Palace, let's just keep it down, and no one should leak the slightest rumor. The order goes down, and today, those who see it should not have seen it, but whoever dares to say half a sentence about this matter will be beheaded. ”

"Yes." Commander Xiao responded a little nervously. Then he said, "But...... There were also jailers on the other side of the prison who were chasing after them, and there were also people here...... Although they did not dare to come closer, they heard that this woman had come all the way from the market, and the people really saw it. ”

King Chen said: "It's okay, the rest of the things will be arranged by the palace." ”

He was not used to the prince's self-title, especially in front of the corpse of his eldest brother, which was particularly ironic. But in front of the officials of the DPRK and China, they must not make a mistake in etiquette.

King Chen ordered someone to carry King Yong's body back, since Zhixing was swaggering through the city to Weiyang Palace, they naturally didn't have to deliberately restrain it, and they just sent someone to give an order afterwards. And he wanted to close the matter and prevent it from spreading, not because he didn't want others to know, but because he just wanted to hide it from his father.

As for the officials in the court and the people of Kyoto City, sooner or later they will know that King Yong committed suicide by biting his tongue in the prison, so it doesn't matter if there is any trouble with this woman. King Yong's murder of his father and rebellion is an extremely shameful thing, are you afraid of being more embarrassed?

Maybe someone will make up a story with deep meaning because of this incident, which can be regarded as leaving the eldest brother with a good name.

Although the emperor did not give any orders to deal with the Yongwang Mansion, it was still necessary to guard the Yongwang Mansion with heavy troops outside the Yongwang Mansion in case anyone escaped. Moreover, the soldiers in King Yong's Mansion who did not follow King Yong's uprising were all incorporated into the Imperial Forest Army, so that King Yong's Mansion no longer had its own forces.

Zhuo Jiu walked behind King Chen and King Jing with a few family members carrying the corpse of King Yong, seeing that the new prince and King Jing were coming, where did the guards at the door dare to stop them? Without even asking, he made way for King Chen and King Jing. Everyone knows that although the crown prince is called the crown prince, he is no different from the emperor. If there is anything, just report to the new prince. And what the new prince does, they don't have to look at whether there is an order from the emperor at all.

The same is true for Commander Xiao's side, the incident happened at the gate of Weiyang Palace, but he still sent someone to tell them about the prince's mansion first, and after listening to their report, King Chen knew that they must not have told their father. That's what Fang Cai commanded.

The guards at the door saw that King Chen's people were carrying the corpse of King Yong, but they still didn't have a surprised look, and they didn't stop and inquire dutifully, they just stood by the door without squinting, waiting for King Chen's people to walk in.

The winners and losers can be seen. The world worships the high and the low, which forms the so-called world way.

King Chen temporarily placed King Yong's body in King Yong's bedroom, thinking that the woman Zhixing was also affectionate and righteous, and the eldest brother's side, except for her, I am afraid that there is no one who can follow the eldest brother to die. So he ordered the woman's body to be placed next to the eldest brother.

Let's leave it like this for the time being, as for how to handle the funeral of the eldest brother and what etiquette, I still have to report it to my father to know.

But this matter should not be done rashly. If the strategy is not good, it is very likely that the father will feel that he can't tolerate his eldest brother, and he will kill his eldest brother.

At this time, looking at the corpse of his eldest brother, King Chen only felt that his heart was very tired and tired...... For a moment, he was very envious of his eldest brother. Like the eldest brother, it can be regarded as a real relief.

Getting along with a suspicious person like my father, I really can only get ease when one of them dies. Although he was already the crown prince at this time and had a certain amount of power in the court, he still didn't know when his father would suddenly deprive him of all this.

The more you get to the door, the more you realize how difficult it is to step up to this high threshold.

After settling the body of the eldest brother, King Chen and King Yong walked together in the palace of King Yong, and saw a woman not far away who was very familiar. Looking closely, it turned out to be Linlang who he put on King Yong's side to play the obstacle. Linlang took a little maid with her, and it seemed that she was walking back from the kitchen yard. King Chen called out to her and told her to come over.

"Your Highness." Linlang gave a salute rather indifferently.

"You must have understood the current situation, what are you going to do?" King Chen asked directly.
