Dead.

In the imperial city, on the criss-crossing palace roads, there were patrolling Yulin guards walking by from time to time.

On the dragon bed wrapped in bright yellow curtains, the emperor's eyes were closed, his brows were deeply locked, and he was tossing and turning, as if he was in a deep nightmare.

"Nope! Stop it! ”

The emperor suddenly exclaimed, then turned over and sat up.

He was short of breath, and the bright yellow nightgown on his body was also soaked with cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Outside the door, there was the call of the chief attendant.

"I'm fine, it's just ...... I had a dream. ”

The emperor stepped down from the dragon bed, and the chief attendant outside the door also pushed the door in, walked over quickly, and poured him a cup of tea diligently.

"Your Majesty, do you want to pass hot water and clean it for you?"

The chief chamberlain looked at the emperor a little embarrassed, and although he was surprised, he didn't dare to show it.

"Well, how many days is it out there now?"

The emperor suddenly asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, I just knocked the second watch."

The chief chamberlain replied as he arranged for someone to prepare hot water and tidy up the mess on the dragon bed.

"Second watch? Let's change my clothes, and after a while, it's time to go to court. ”

The emperor suddenly felt deep exhaustion.

He was obviously in the prime of life, but he suddenly had a feeling that he was already in the twilight.

Although he is not as fond of the crown prince as he is to the Nine Emperors.

But after all, it is also his son, even if it is only as a tool for transition, it can play some role.

Originally, he wanted the crown prince to be used as a shield in front of the Nine Emperor Princes.

Before the Nine Emperors can take charge on their own, stop all the intrigues and dirty methods for him.

But now, the Nine Emperor Princes are still fledgling, and the crown prince has died early, which has completely disrupted his plans.

"Although I single-handedly arranged for the sinner to be charged with the assassination of the crown prince, the suspicion of the Nine Emperors is still the greatest. Although I want the Qiao family to become the help of the Nine Emperors, I don't want them to be powerful, but it is difficult to control. ”

The emperor groaned in his heart.

Outside the door, a small chamberlain stood at the door and looked, and the chief chamberlain walked over, heard him whisper a few words, and then walked back to the emperor's side, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there is news from the people in the prison, and Uncle Guo wants to ask to see you." ”

"He wants to see me, and I'm going to see him?"

The emperor sneered.

But soon, a very tightly covered carriage left the palace and headed straight for Dali Temple.

In the prison, in the innermost cell.

Uncle Guo, who was disheveled, was facing the cold wall, constantly shaking back and forth, banging his head against the wall.

"Why hasn't he come yet, it's impossible for him to be indifferent to the news I have passed on. He will come, will come! ”

In the midst of his nervous murmur, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the cell.

"You want to see me?"

In the cold aisle, a figure suddenly gradually walked out.

The bright yellow dragon robe was obscured by a large black robe, revealing only a corner of the hem as he walked.

"Your Majesty, you're finally here."

Uncle Guo still kept shaking his body, but he tilted his head and stared at the emperor and said sadly.

"I knew that if I said that, you would come!"

"Me? Are you not even calling yourself a minister in front of me now? ”

The emperor's face was gloomy, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to be dripping into ice.

"Minister? Haha, haha! ”

Uncle Guo sneered twice, his voice gradually became louder, and finally he became very crazy.

"Your Majesty, do you remember that I am your subordinate? Then do you remember how my eldest sister and my family accompanied you to raise troops, blood and fire.

The eldest sister had a big belly at the time, helping you manage the affairs of the house, and even personally took care of military rations and salaries, and all trivial matters, and took care of it in an orderly manner, and her body for almost six months fell off like that.

She's alive and tired! Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the deceased crown prince is not your first child, but your second? Have you also forgotten that your world was brought down by our family for you!

You obviously know that the Nine Emperor Princes are the real murderers of the crown prince, but you still find someone to take the blame for him, and even want to pass on the throne to him in the future! You are worthy of the prince who died unjustly!

But if you still have a little conscience, you should treat my eldest sister well, instead of confines her in the dormitory, torture and humiliation in every way! ”

The emperor listened quietly.

If it weren't for the muscles on his face twitching from time to time, it would be like an expressionless clay wood sculpture.

Uncle Guo's emotions were too intense, and when he vented it, he was a little short of breath and tight, and his eyes were black.

He had to pause and catch his breath.

"You're done?"

The emperor sneered: "The queen has already died, but it is too late to mourn." It's a pity you can't give her a ride. ”

Uncle Guo was stunned for a moment, looked at the emperor in disbelief, and suddenly pounced on the railing, desperately stretched out his hand to scratch, and roared: "It's you!" It's your poison, isn't it? You have to cut off potential hidden dangers for the Nine Emperor Princes. Right!

Ha ha! What a vengeful and ungrateful white-eyed wolf! But you won't be better for long, the current Qiao family is the same you who held heavy troops back then!

Your today is their tomorrow, you just wait for the reincarnation of heaven! ”

The emperor's face turned completely cold, looked at the already crazy uncle, and said to the chief chamberlain who followed him: "Spread my will." Uncle Guo intended to kidnap and murder the Nine Emperor Princes, and he had a heart of disobedience.

Immediately launch the noon gate decapitation to show the public! The queen's family harbors evil intentions, repeatedly provokes my heavenly might, and deceives the king, and the crime is unforgivable! The nine clans were punished, and all the family property was put into the treasury.

Those who dare to intercede for it will be equally responsible for the same crime! Liu Zhan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is the supervisor and beheading official, and there must be no negligence! ”

The chief officer of the inner chamberlain leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty, Liu Shaoqing's wife...... is a distant relative of the queen mother......"

The emperor paused.

He is ready to reuse Liu Zhan to fill the vacancy in the court after the queen family is ambushed, so as to contain the Qiao family.

Therefore, this main room cannot be dealt with with the same crime, otherwise Liu Zhan will not be able to stand firmly in the court.

After a while, he said slowly: "Mrs. Liu Shaoqing is kind and virtuous, and she is deeply loved by the Queen Mother. Pity her parents died early, and she was sent to the fence, and she had already passed into the name of a widowed woman in the queen mother's family, and she had nothing to do with the queen's family. ”

This sentence not only picked Fang Yan'er out, but even raised Liu Zhan's status a little.

On this night, somewhere in the imperial city suddenly burst into flames, and the sound of crying continued throughout the night.

The unsuspecting people were all huddled at home and shivered, and the civil and military officials who received the news were even more dangerous.

No one could have imagined how the sky could suddenly change overnight.

The queen family who had the power of the dragon was uprooted, and before dawn, they had fallen down in a dense circle outside the noon gate.
