The traitors brought by the King of Horses were also captured by the forbidden army who had long been ambushed outside the palace.

Xiao Shen dragged King Ma's body out of the inner hall with a heavy face, "The emperor and the queen mother were killed by King Ma." ”

As soon as Xiao Yan's words fell, the people in the courtyard were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

The archsteward staggered into the inner sanctum, and in a moment his wails of grief could be heard from within.

"The emperor has died, and the queen mother has died."

Emperor Kang Ze and the Queen Mother were killed by the rebel King Ma, and the officials mourned.

At dawn, the people in the palace began to prepare white flags, and the mourning hall was erected.

Su Ying only found out about what happened last night at breakfast.

"Dead?"

"Yes, the emperor and the queen mother, as well as the king of horses, are gone."

Su Ying was a little surprised, did he die too quickly, quite suddenly, didn't King Ma already run away, what kind of death did this jaw go.

Su Ying couldn't understand.

Su Ying didn't understand, and Bai Shuang didn't understand it even more.

"The emperor and the queen mother are here, and the crown princess and the little princes will have to enter the palace in a while."

"Yes, got it."

After eating, Su Ying and the two treasures changed into mourning clothes and went to the palace.

The civil and military officials who got the news also came to the palace one after another to mourn and keep vigils.

When Su Ying and the others arrived, there were already many people inside and outside the mourning hall, and all of them had sad looks on their faces.

Xiao Ember knelt on the futon in the mourning hall and bowed back one by one.

Su Ying looked at the two coffins in the mourning hall and walked in with the two treasures.

When Xiao Yan saw that Su Ying was coming, he got up and took them to his side and knelt down.

Su Ying didn't ask much, just threw the incense paper into the brazier boringly.

According to the rules, the coffin should be suspended for seven days before being sent to the imperial tomb.

"Make a show on the first day, and take the kids to rest later." Xiao Shen whispered in her ear.

Su Ying was not tired, but he felt that the incense burned a little smoky.

When the first to come to bow to the royal family and nobles, and then to the civil and military officials.

When the royal family and nobles came in to bow, a thin figure suddenly rushed in and pointed at Xiao Yan and scolded, "You don't pretend here, your father and grandmother were clearly killed by you, but you blamed King Ma, you are the real traitor!" ”

Su Ying looked up at the person who came, and saw that he was only in his early twelves or thirteen years old, his eyes were red, and he was still wearing the mourning clothes of a filial son.

This person is none other than Xiao Li, the third prince.

There are many concubines in Emperor Kangze's harem, but there are not many heirs, and it is not that they cannot be born, but there are few who can live to adulthood after birth, especially sons.

Except for Xiao Jue and Xiao Ash, Xiao Li in front of him is the oldest.

He is from Concubine De, his maternal ancestor is the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and his ancestor is Bo'an Hou, but the title was withdrawn in the generation of the Ministry of Industry, and the official position of the Ministry of Industry is not low, it is still a fat position, but there is not much real power in the central government that can be touched, and Xiao Li's age is still young, so even when Xiao Ember was exiled, Xiao Li was not the best candidate for the prince in the minds of the ministers.

Su Ying glanced at Concubine De who was following behind her, she walked into the hall with a sad face, grabbed Xiao Li and choked up: "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, don't kneel down and apologize to the prince." ”

Xiao Li stiffened his neck and said: "What I said is true, why apologize, it is he who killed his father and grandmother, he is the traitor, the traitor." ”

Xiao Yan stood up from the futon with an indifferent expression and walked up to Xiao Li step by step.

It may be that the aura on Xiao Ye's body is too strong, and Xiao Li took several steps back in fear.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Shen said coldly: "It is a felony to slander the prince, but this palace is thinking about brotherhood and letting you go, but the eldest brother is like a father, if you don't let you remember it for a long time, you can't tell the emperor about the spirit in the sky." ”

Before the words fell, Xiao Yan raised his hand and slapped Xiao Li in the face.

In front of Xiao Yan, Xiao Li was like an unopened quail, he slapped him, and Xiao Li's body fell to the ground as soon as he tilted his body.

"Emperor!" Concubine De exclaimed in surprise, and was so frightened that she knelt down and stepped forward to hug Xiao Li.

"The prince is angry, the prince is angry, the emperor does not have many heirs, and now the prince is only left with the three princes and the fourth prince, please let them go."

As soon as Concubine De's words came out, the ambiguity became even greater, and in the ears of others, it was as if Xiao Ember wanted to destroy their mouths, if they had any three long and two short in the future, wouldn't it be to blame Xiao Ember for coming along?

Xiao Shen condensed and said, "Are Concubine De and the Third Prince going to rebel?" ”

Concubine De's face changed, "What does the prince mean by this?" This is clearly slander. ”

"What basis do the three princes have to say that the emperor was killed by this palace? You slander this palace, just want to give yourself a legitimate reason when you rebel in the future, I didn't expect Concubine De to have such an ambition, come to someone, take Concubine De and the three princes down, and no one is allowed to let them out until the palace finds out that they are wronged. ”

Xiao Ember gave an order, and the forbidden army stepped forward one after another to set up the mother and son.

Xiao Li came back to his senses and struggled to break free from the shackles of the forbidden army.

"What do you do, you let go of me, let go of me!"

Xiao Yan directly waved his hand, and the forbidden army directly blocked the mouths of the two and dragged them down.

This scene made everyone present silent, thinking that Concubine De's mother and son were too stupid, Xiao Yan is the emperor's own crown prince, and it won't take long to inherit the ceremony, and they actually ran out at this time to offend people, this is not looking for death.

This episode didn't change anything, and when it was close to noon, Xiao Shen asked Su Ying to take the two treasures to the side hall for a short rest.

After kneeling for a morning, Su Ying felt that her waist was hard.

"Tired, aren't you?" Xiao Yan's warm palm fell to her waist and rubbed it gently.

"We're going to kneel until the funeral?"

"After today, I will excuse myself to stay in the palace under the pretext that I am not feeling well."

"Well, what happened last night? Why did the king of horses plant so quickly? ”

After the palace maid came up with lunch, Xiao Shen asked everyone to retreat.

"He has been hiding in the palace before, hiding in the queen mother's bedroom, he is reluctant to leave, because he doesn't want to miss this opportunity to directly kill the emperor, so I let people secretly guard the queen mother's palace early in the morning."

"You know?"

Xiao Shen nodded, he didn't really watch the show anymore that night when the palace changed, he had always had people secretly staring at King Ma's father and son, Sima Chen fled outside the palace that night, and his people were lost, but King Ma was always in the palace.

However, he thought that the King of Horses would at least wait a little longer, after all, the soldiers and horses of King Ma City had not yet arrived.

"So careless?" Su Ying felt that it was not stupid for King Ma to be able to get to the point where he is now, and his actions this time were too reckless.

"Yes." may have something to do with the news that Emperor Kang Ze released by him was not injured and had no worries about his life.

King Ma, I really hate Emperor Kangze, otherwise I wouldn't have taken risks.
