Chapter 456: Disguised Imprisonment
Ling Chu originally thought that even if they came back, it would not be easy for outsiders to know.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain how she and Ning Chuyi were still in a small county town thousands of miles away from the capital the day before, how did they appear in Kyoto in a short time.
An Guifei and Zhao Chuanlin's affair, even if they knew, they couldn't poke it out.
But then, she changed her mind.
It's just that Concubine An and Zhao Chuanlin confuse the royal bloodline, she can't watch the country of the Chongzhao Dynasty ruined in the hands of such a person.
Otherwise, the world will be in chaos, and it will be the people who suffer.
Her master couldn't stand idly by.
Xuanyi Zhenren is old, so it's not good for her old man to be tired. As a disciple, since she bumped into this, she couldn't turn a blind eye.
Moreover, if you don't solve An Guifei and Zhao Chuanlin, you will be too sorry for her expensive teleportation charms.
She and Ning Chuyi used eight teleportation talismans, all of which were exchanged for rare high-grade jadeite.
Seeing Ling Chu swing the drug in his hand in the direction of the bed, Ning Chuyi watched quietly and did not stop it.
"Tsk, the second senior brother's medicine is easy to use, but it's a pity that this is the last point. The next time I see him, I'll have to ask him for more. Seeing that Concubine An and Zhao Chuanlin, who were preparing for the second spring breeze, fainted suddenly.
Ling Chu patted the remaining powder on his hands, and raised his foot to prepare to bypass the screen.
Ning Chuyi twitched the corners of her mouth, and quickly grabbed her arm.
"Don't look at it, be careful of the eye of a needle."
Ling Chu paused. Forget it, if you don't look at it, you won't watch it, she has no interest in the nudity of foreign men.
Although there was an invisibility talisman, Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi did not go out from the gate of Concubine An's bedroom. Instead, he climbed out of the window where Zhao Chuanlin came in.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and it was about midnight.
Although it is still dark, there are palace lights everywhere in the palace, so you don't have to worry about not being able to see the road when it's dark.
The second prince spread the news of the emperor's death, and he didn't know what was going on in the palace at the moment.
Relying on the invisibility talisman, Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi didn't have to hide, and they went out of Concubine An's bedroom to explore in the palace.
Ling Chu was not very familiar with the palace, but the emperor often summoned Ning Chuyi into the palace. He took Ling Chu straight to the palace where the emperor lived.
In the distance, the two heard faint cries.
Along the way, Ning Chuyi's brows became tighter and tighter.
Not only are there more forbidden troops guarding the palace than when the emperor was there, but they are all fresh faces.
It seems that the second prince has dealt with all the people left by the emperor and replaced them with his people.
Thankfully, they wore invisibility charms, and they didn't encounter anyone who stood in their way along the way.
As we got closer, the crying grew louder.
The sleeping palace where the emperor lived became a place for the soul to stop.
At this moment, the door of the temple was open, and at a glance, the hall was full of vegetarian people.
After a cursory glance, Ling Chu found that all the officials in Kyoto had gathered here to cry for the emperor.
In the middle of the main hall is a majestic and simple coffin. What must be in it is the emperor's corpse.
The second prince was kneeling in front of the coffin wearing linen and filial piety, holding a stack of yellow paper in his hand and putting it in the burning copper basin.
Kneeling beside him were several princesses, as well as the young prince.
The three princes were nowhere to be found.
Although he has a disability in his legs and feet, the second prince did not let him go. He killed his father and brother himself, but he put the crime on the three princes and the father and son of Ning Guogong.
I don't know if the third prince was killed by him or imprisoned.
Although Ling Chu wanted to find out about Concubine An and Zhao Chuanlin, she was not ready to do it herself.
There is one of the best candidates in the palace.
The death of the crown prince is inseparable from the second prince, and the queen must hate An Guifei's mother and son.
Ling Chu felt that it would be better to stab the queen about Concubine An and Zhao Chuanlin.
But she glanced at the crying spirit again, and found that not only the third prince was not there.
On the side of the female relatives crying, the concubines at all levels are there, but the queen, who is the master of the harem, is nowhere to be seen.
It is said that the emperor died, even if the queen was sick, she would come to cry for the emperor.
Ling Chu was a little worried about the people in Dingyuan Palace, she searched the crowd, but found Princess Dingyuan.
However, seeing that her face was haggard and pale, she had been kneeling for a long time, and her body looked a little shaky.
Ling Chu was worried that her body would not be able to stand it, but she was invisible at the moment and could only watch dryly.
She looked to the other side again.
The one on the left who was crying was the official of the court, Ling Chu looked at it, and only saw her eldest brother Han Lin, her father Dingyuan Wang was not there.
Ning Chuyi's face was dark, and he found that not only was King Dingyuan not there, but there was no one from the Ningguo Mansion who was crying in this hall.
The second prince put the charge of murdering the emperor on the head of the Ningguo Mansion, and his family did not know whether he was executed or imprisoned.
Ning Chuyi's eyes fell on the coffin in the center of the main hall, the emperor was not dead, the corpse inside must be fake.
In fact, as long as everyone sees that the person in the coffin is not the emperor, the second prince can be debunked.
But Ning Chuyi didn't go directly to open the coffin.
Don't look at the coffin placed in the middle of the hall so casually, but in the shadows there are many forbidden soldiers standing with waist knives in their hands.
At a glance, I knew that it was the second prince who prevented someone from making a fuss about the emperor's corpse.
Following Ning Chuyi's gaze, Ling Chu also saw those forbidden troops.
The two looked at each other, then turned and walked out of the main hall.
I walked until I walked to a remote and uninhabited place before I stopped.
Ling Chu glanced back at the emperor's bedroom, and had some doubts in his heart, "It has been a few days since the news of the emperor's death came out from the second prince, and it is said that even if the hundred officials want to enter the palace to cry, they will only stay in the palace for the first three days.
After three days, as long as you enter the palace on time every morning to cry, you will go back to your house to rest in the evening, and then enter the palace the next day.
Otherwise, if you kneel and cry like this every day, even an iron man can't stand it.
But now, it is really unreasonable that all the officials in Kyoto are in the palace and have not returned home. โ
Ning Chuyi's eyes were dark, "Although the second prince spread the news of the emperor's death, he knew that the emperor was not dead. Inevitably dreaming a lot at night, he is afraid that he can't wait to ascend the throne. โ
"But it's been a few days since he broke the news of the emperor's death, so he can't wait to ascend the throne, and he's not afraid that someone will poke him in the back."
"For the sake of the throne, he even dared to kill his father and brother, how could he be afraid of criticism from others. He could have arranged for a few officials to invite him to the throne on the grounds that the country could not be without a king for a day. โ
"What's more, almost all of the officials in Kyoto have come to the palace.
The second prince left them in the name of crying spirits, which was both a shock and a disguised imprisonment.
After all, those who can come to the palace to cry are not only the pillars of each prefecture, but these people also represent the power of the entire Kyoto.
As long as the second prince orders someone to close the palace gate, these people will be held hostage by him.
In this case, who would dare to oppose his accession to the throne?
Even if there is, there is no need to worry, as long as a few false accusations are fabricated, it is enough to kill chickens and monkeys!
The whole of Kyoto was controlled by the second prince, and the queen mother was afraid that she had also lost her freedom and became his hole card.
