Drunk Bamboo

What happened?

Xie Yuzhu felt like she was watching a play. How could it be so exciting and full of twists and turns?

The royal feud was even more bloody than what was written in the books.

The Imperial Noble Consort has been by the Emperor's side for many years, all for Prince Jing. Her sacrifice is huge.

Unfortunately, they couldn't sit on the throne for long.

Is it too high to spend twenty years just for this moment of reunion?

Xie Yuzhu couldn't understand their thoughts.

The eunuch poured a basin of cold water on the emperor to wake him up.

"Cough...cough..."

The emperor was coughing violently, his hair and clothes were messy, and now he was wet all over and looked in a miserable state.

For the emperor, this was definitely a shame that he would never forget.

Because under the dragon throne were his officials and his family, and they could see everything clearly.

He even has a desire to die.

"Awake?" Prince Jing smiled coldly and pointed at the row of royal family members, "Then continue."

"Start with the oldest or the youngest?"

Point your fingers from left to right, one by one.

When he pointed at the princess, Hua Jinlin immediately protected her behind him. Although the princess was his elder, she was born one day later than him, so he had to protect his aunt.

"Don't touch my aunt!"

The Crown Princess then protected Hua Jinlin.

"Lin'er, don't hurt my Lin'er."

He glanced at Xie Yuzhu without stopping.

When the finger fell on the queen, she showed no fear.

"People of the royal family will never be humiliated!"

Would rather die than surrender.

Prince Jing applauded.

"As expected of the Wang family of Hedong, they have integrity. Among all the court officials, only Prime Minister Wang dares to speak frankly. I didn't expect that the queen would also stand tall."

He leaned over and stared at the destitute emperor with disdain, mocking him, "Look, your queen and your grandson are both more courageous than you."

The emperor looked ashen and dazed, and had no idea what they were talking about.

Prince Jing suddenly stood up and said, "I changed my mind. It would be most interesting to torture you."

The emperor suddenly woke up.

"Take off his dragon robe, tie him up with ropes, and hang him on the Golden Steps. Let everyone see him being humiliated, let everyone see him, the emperor, become a prisoner."

At Prince Jing's command, two eunuchs reached out to strip the emperor of his dragon robe.

"You...you...are so outrageous! I am the emperor, how dare you touch me!"

The emperor struggled hard and was furious, but because he was old, he was not as strong as the two young eunuchs, and he tore the dragon robe into pieces.

The Imperial Concubine's face was filled with hatred when she saw him holding on to the torn dragon robe tightly.

"If you were not so lustful and greedy, and if you hadn't forced the weak tribes of Rao Country to pay tribute every year, how could I be offered to you as a sacrifice? We used to live a good life. Even though we were poor and backward, we were happy and free. It was you who broke my peaceful life!"

"You've ruined my life!"

She tore off the dragon robe and ran into the air.

The emperor stared at her with a bit of fear in his eyes.

The Imperial Concubine smiled coldly, "We have been in love for a long time, and it was you who broke us up!"

"You're the bitch! You're the bitch!"

The emperor tried to evoke her innocence when she was young, "If you hadn't blocked that sword back then, how could it be..."

"Block the sword?" The Imperial Concubine sneered, then looked at the Emperor with a hateful expression, "I wish that the sword would take your life. It was just a planned torture."

The emperor's last bit of hope was shattered.

Even the initial life-saving grace was designed...

What else is true?

She has been lying to him for the past twenty years!

"Everything I did to you was fake and against my will. People like you don't deserve anything. Even if you have it, you don't know how to cherish it."

The Imperial Concubine's words were even more straightforward and unconcealed.

The hatred in the emperor's heart burned fiercely.

The Imperial Concubine clamped her hands around the Emperor's neck, just as he had clamped his hands around hers.

"Look, the queen was sincere to you, but you broke her heart. Look, the prince respected you as his father, but he also stayed away from you because of your suspicion."

"Look at your loyal courtiers and your sons, what have you done to them?"

He swung his hand and threw the emperor aside. The emperor lay on the ground, breathing hard.

The queen shook her head, unable to bear it any longer.

"Royal Concubine, why do you insult His Majesty like this? His Majesty has treated you sincerely."

The Imperial Concubine snorted coldly, "Queen, you are so naive and kind. I have fought with you for so long. If you were more cruel, my mother and I would not be alive today."

Prince Jing enjoyed watching the play.

"Hang him up."

The extremely noble emperor was stripped of his dragon robe and left with only his inner clothes, with his hair disheveled. He looked like a relatively clean beggar, or even more like a criminal being hung on the city wall for public display.

"Father! Father!"

"Grandpa Emperor! Grandpa Emperor!"

The princess and the crown prince shouted desperately.

"Shut up!" An eunuch waved his hand and slapped him.

With a "whoosh" sound.

The eunuch who was about to take action had his face and body pierced with fine needles.

"Puff-"

He fell to the ground and died.

There was a small wooden box on Zhang Hansu's palm, and the needles were shot out from the wooden box.

Xie Yuzhu took a glance and knew that this was Liu Ziwang's work.

"Hansu!" The Crown Prince hugged Zhang Hansu's thighs in fear.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid!" Zhang Hansu covered his eyes and comforted him patiently.

"I didn't expect that there is someone brave enough to hide a weapon." Prince Jing then noticed Zhang Hansu and became even more interested in the hidden weapon in her hand. "This weapon is very exquisite."

The Crown Princess looked at Zhang Hansu with gratitude and held the child in her arms.

Zhang Hansu stood guard beside the Crown Princess with a fierce look in his eyes.

Prince Jing's eyes suddenly flashed and he stared straight at Zhang Hansu.

"Han Su? What's your last name?"

Zhang Hansu just said: "Don't hurt them."

Prince Jing opened his eyes wide in surprise, with a smile on his face, "They look exactly alike. The look in their eyes is exactly the same."

Zhang Hansu knew who he was talking about. He lowered his eyes and said firmly, "I am just myself."

Prince Jing pointed at Hua Jinlin in the Crown Princess's arms and said in a gentle tone, "You are protecting him. Are you a female official in the East Palace?"

Still speaking coldly, "No comment."

Prince Jing was not annoyed, but just stared at her in a daze, as if he was recalling something.

The Imperial Concubine walked up to him and said softly, "Your Highness, Zhang Hansu is just a palace lady, what is there to be concerned about?"

"Zhang? Her last name is Zhang!" Prince Jing's eyes lit up, and he understood everything. "Zhang Qian and... Donggong, Xiao Yu'er... This makes sense."

He looked at Zhang Hansu excitedly, "If she were born, she would be your age."

Zhang Hansu raised her eyes and looked at him for a moment.

He knew that she understood what he said.

There was surprise in his eyes.

The Imperial Concubine asked worriedly, "What happened to you?"

At this moment, the prince rushed into the hall with a team of guards.

"Prince Jing, surrender!"
