Section XXIV

The emperor saw that King Ying handed over by Zihao was so angry that he fainted on the spot, and his body has deteriorated since then. As for Ziluo, he issued an edict at the suggestion of King An, saying that King Ying died violently. At the suggestion of several old ministers, the emperor gradually handed over the affairs of the court to Prince An to supervise.

Zihao can be said to have almost taken the throne without much effort, so his attitude towards Su Qi has become cold. And for all this, Su Qi will not be unaware of it, let alone be restrained, like a chess piece that is about to be abandoned. In order to let King An have a sense of crisis and dare not pay less attention to himself, Su Qi decided to make a fuss about Ziluo, who had lost his trace. She knew that the emperor and Gonggong Su would definitely be in the Yangju Palace, so she asked a little eunuch to "summon" and trick Zihao into the imperial garden.

Zihao was still "called" even if he was puzzled, but when he saw from a distance that only Su Qi and her maidservants were standing in the Yuhua Personal Garden, he couldn't help but be angry. He walked over quickly and slapped Su Qi on the head, causing half of her face to become red and swollen. He pointed at Su Qi's nose and reprimanded loudly: "You are so bold, you dare to falsely preach the holy decree!"

"If there is a next time, I will not spare you!" Zihao didn't want to entangle with her more, and turned around and wanted to leave. Su Qi rubbed his flushed face and stared at his back and asked, "Does Your Highness really think that you will definitely be able to ascend to the throne?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hasn't Your Majesty recently repeatedly refuted your approved recitals? Isn't he gradually withdrawing from Your Highness's right to oversee the country?

King An disagreed, "Hmph, even if my father is dissatisfied with me, he has no choice but me in the choice of the prince." ”

"In terms of qualifications, there is indeed no one among the current princes who can compare with Your Highness. But how does His Royal Highness think he is better than the Thirteenth Prince Ziluo?" Su Qi knew that as long as the other party was willing to listen to her, she would be able to convince him.

Zihao was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure and pretended to be relaxed and said: "He doesn't have to worry about it, the imperial court has already issued an edict saying that he is dead." ”

Su Qi sneered, "Whether he is dead or not, His Highness is like a mirror in his heart, as long as the emperor wants him to ascend the throne, then he can change from the dead thirteen princes to the fifteenth prince who has been appointed as the prince at any time." ”

"There is no fifteenth prince at all!" Zihao was obviously a little annoyed.

"It's because he didn't have it that he was able to become. Su Qi had already walked in front of King An as she spoke, and her eyes were cold with a little contempt. Zihao was suddenly a little worried, but he was still stubborn, "Then my father has to find him." Su Qi suddenly burst out laughing, and his laughter was full of mockery.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's ridiculous for me to laugh at Your Highness!"

"What do you mean?" Zihao felt more and more unconfident in his heart, and the woman in front of him was no longer the little girl she was at the beginning. Her mind and her ruthlessness were unexpected, and she couldn't seem to control her.

"The whole world is not the king's land, how difficult do you think it will be to find a runaway prince today?!"

Hearing this, Zi Hao completely let go of his self-righteousness and figure and asked Su Qi in a low voice: "Then in your opinion?" Su Qi was not in a hurry to say the solution, but rubbed half of his face that was beaten and sprinkled coquettishly, "Your Highness just hit people so painfully!" Zi Hao immediately pulled her into his arms and said in Su Qi's ear: "Good heart, I'll give you a good rub when you come to my house tonight." Su Qi was inexplicably a little angry when he heard this, and he broke free of Zihao's hands and ran away, saying as he ran: "Your Highness, you better think about what you should do, right?"

Su Qi knew that he had once again mastered the future master of this empire. What she had to do now was how to make the current owner of the empire die quickly and without a trace. At the same time, it seems so natural that the future master of the empire ascends the throne without standing up to suspicion, so that her position will be secure.

Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor, who saw that his body was gradually getting better, suddenly became seriously ill and the group of doctors were restrained. Under such circumstances, the court officials were busy with the matter of establishing a prince, after all, this was related to their future! When that group of important officials of the court who had read the books of sages and sages were vying for the throne for their respective masters, the only person who really cared about the emperor who was dying was the imperfect person in the deep palace - Gonggong Su. He was suspicious of the emperor's sudden aggravation of his condition, and was even more uneasy about the unrest of the imperial physicians. He tried so hard to awaken his sleeping majesty, and he loyally hoped that his only master could command the world with majesty. So he secretly sent someone outside the palace to invite a Lang Zhong to see the emperor. But he didn't expect that his every move had already been reported to Su Qi. And Su Qi immediately informed King An, and as soon as the two of them combined, they immediately came up with a vicious plan.

Father-in-law Su almost didn't encounter any obstacles, and smoothly took Lang Zhong through the nine-fold palace and entered the emperor's bedroom. However, at this time, the emperor had already returned to heaven, and it was clear that he was poisoned and died. When Gonggong Su was sad and weeping, Lang Zhong panicked, and the tenth prince Zihao led the forbidden army to rush in.

He glanced at the emperor's body from a distance, and loudly reprimanded Su Gonggong: "Bold Su Zhan, you dare to murder Your Majesty!" and then gave orders to the forbidden army, "Take down these two traitors for me immediately!"

Between the forbidden army and Ying Nuo, Su Gonggong and Lang Zhong were carried in their hands. Then they were thrown into prison and tortured in turns, and on the other hand, King An received the "edict" that the previous emperor had already made to succeed to the throne and become a new generation of monarchs.

"You just need to admit that it was the Eighth Prince who instructed you to murder the first emperor, and His Majesty promised to spare you from death and keep you rich, how about it?" The little official of the criminal department who was in charge of interrogating Gonggong Su finally said what he meant, of course, this is what the new emperor meant.

"Your Majesty?!" Gonggong Su was shocked and subconsciously repeated, "Could it be that the new emperor has ascended the throne?" but he immediately sneered after a little thought, "It's right to think about it, didn't he go to great lengths to poison the former emperor just to ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

"You are presumptuous!" the presiding judge was furious.

"He killed his own father, does he still want to kill his brothers and sisters?" Father-in-law Su suddenly glared angrily and loudly asked the lackeys in front of him, seeing that they were worried in their hearts.

"Although I, Su Zhan, am not a complete person, I will never be in the company of you young people!" Although Father-in-law Su's voice was weak and soft, he was full of words. Of course, after saying this, he was subjected to another horrific torture. After Su Gonggong fainted, he was thrown back into prison and waited for the next day to wake up and accept another round of coerced confessions and inducements.

"Father-in-law Su!"

"Father-in-law Su, wake up!"

Father-in-law Su was half asleep and half awake, and in a trance, he heard a female voice calling him eagerly. Su Zhan opened his heavy eyelids vigorously, and what came into view was Su Qi's caring and eager face. Father-in-law Su didn't know that Su Qi was already Zihao's person, so when he saw her at this time, he naturally felt a little more grateful. He sat up with great difficulty and asked, "Why did you get here?" Su Qi couldn't help but sobbed sadly as he watched Grandpa Su being tortured to the point that he couldn't help but sob. Father-in-law Su looked helpless, "Go back quickly, this is not the place you should come." ”

Su Qi collected her tears and said, "I'm going to save you!"

"Stop talking stupid, go back. ”

"No, you listen to me. I've already made up my mind, and someone will pick you up at the third watch tonight. ”

"What you said is true?" The renewed hope and the renewed desire to survive made Su Zhan choose to believe Su Qi's words.

"Go out and find the person you're looking for. Su Qi was referring to Ziluo and Yimei.

Su Zhan finally escaped from the heavily guarded prison. He didn't know that Lang Zhong had already identified the Eighth Prince as the mastermind, he didn't know that it was the idea of the new emperor and Su Qi that he could escape death, he didn't know that letting him go was a conspiracy, and he didn't know that he would let the son of the former emperor die again.
