The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

Zhao Zhen raised his head and stared at Madam Liu with a gloomy look, his eyes were so sharp that it seemed as if he wanted to tear her to pieces alive.

Even though Madam Liu had prepared herself mentally, she was still frightened and her face turned pale. She really didn't want to argue any more, so she ordered the coachman to leave as soon as possible.

"Mother-in-law!" Zhao Zhen called again.

Madam Liu was displeased. After thinking for a while, she took out a purse from her bosom and threw it on the ground: "For the sake of you and Ling'er's marriage, the Liu family has done its best. Third Young Master, please don't bother the Liu family any more."

After saying that, she lowered the curtain.

The carriage drove away.

Zhao Zhen was too weak to catch up. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the purse at his feet. He bent down and picked up some change. He sneered and threw the purse high up.

boom!

The purse fell to the ground. A beggar heard the sound and ran over, crawling, picked up the purse in ecstasy and took it away.

Zhao Zhen sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

...

The palace gate creaked open.

Princess Changling walked in with red eyes.

Xu Minghuang, who was dozing in a rocking chair in the corridor, heard the noise, raised his head and glanced at the person who came. Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen, he couldn't help but squint.

"Ming Huang!" The moment Princess Changling saw her, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and burst into tears.

Xu Minghuang frowned, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "What happened?"

"Ming Huang, Brother Feng is dead. He was beaten to death by Zhao Zhen."

After saying this, Xu Minghuang was stunned. The handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground. She looked at Princess Changling in disbelief: "How could my brother die? What happened?"

Princess Changling then told the whole story: "Zhao Zhen has been cruel since he was young. He must have pretended to have lost his memory. He tricked Brother Feng into coming to his house and tortured him severely. He even ignored the emperor's summons several times..."

"Changling!" Xu Minghuang grabbed Princess Changling's sleeve fiercely, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she choked up and said, "Can you take me to see my brother for the last time?"

Princess Changling and Xu Minghuang hugged each other and cried, their voices hoarse: "Brother Feng has been beaten beyond recognition. Minghuang, please don't watch anymore."

Under Xu Minghuang's repeated pleas, Princess Changling compromised and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "I'll go and beg mother right away."

Half an hour later, Princess Changling came back with a purple mark on her forehead. When Xu Minghuang saw her coming, he knew that the matter was done. He didn't care about comforting her injuries anymore. He grabbed her hand and walked out.

Princess Changling said, "Minghuang, the emperor has ordered people to carry Brother Feng's coffin into the palace."

Xu Minghuang's steps suddenly paused, his face looking somewhat unnatural, but Princess Changling did not notice anything unusual about him, as this was something she had worked very hard to obtain.

"Are you going to make my brother unable to rest in peace even after his death?" Xu Minghuang smiled bitterly.

"Minghuang, you misunderstood. It was the Emperor who granted permission for Brother Feng's funeral to be held in the palace, and invited a master from the Huguo Temple to pray for his soul. After the funeral is over, I will send someone to send Brother Feng back to the ancestral grave. The Xu family has also been notified."

Princess Changling became more and more sad as she was about to marry her lover, but he was beaten to death.

After more than half a day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had sent people to make arrangements. All he could see was white. Xu Minghuang looked at the coffin that was carried in by a dozen people and sneered at the Northern Qi Emperor for being so generous as to allow a person from an outsider to hold a funeral in the palace.

Standing next to the coffin, Xu Minghuang urged that it be opened.

"Ming Huang..." Princess Changling covered her face and cried through her fingers. Xu Minghuang patiently tried to comfort her, "I can't bear not to see my brother for the last time."

Princess Changling turned her head away.

After opening the coffin, Xu Minghuang took a deep breath and looked inside.

Both the figure and the clothes are Xu Feng's.

She just touched it lightly, then quickly withdrew her hand and asked someone to cover it again. Xu Minghuang tilted her head and couldn't help sneering in her heart. Her brother had given up on even her.

The brothers who depend on each other for everything are just like this when the critical moment comes.

"Ming Huang." Princess Changling was afraid that she was too sad, so she choked up and said, "If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in your heart. I asked the emperor and the queen mother to let me accompany you every day. Don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone bully you."

Looking at Princess Changling's sincere face, Xu Minghuang felt a little soft-hearted for a moment.

But the thought of being betrayed.

Xu Minghuang took a deep breath, picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped Princess Changling's cheek: "Why are you crying? The person lying in there is not my brother at all, he is a fake."

"Huh?" Princess Changling was stunned.

"Brother has a scar on his left wrist. It was when I fell from a tree while trying to pick up a kite. Brother was trying to save me when a branch pierced through him. The scar is left. The person here has an intact hand. Chang Ling, brother must still be alive."

Xu Minghuang determined at first glance that the person inside was not Xu Feng.

Relying on her brother's intelligence, she believed that Zhao Zhen was definitely not his opponent, and that Xu Feng must have taken this opportunity to join the game and get rid of his identity.

"You, are you telling the truth?" Princess Changling couldn't believe it.

Xu Minghuang nodded: "When have I ever lied to you? My brother and I depend on each other for survival, how can I not recognize him? My brother must have been hidden. Chang Ling, you must find the people who interrogated my brother at that time, arrest all their family members, and interrogate them strictly, and you will definitely be able to reveal some clues."

The two were close friends, and Princess Changling, who was also the sweetheart's sister, quickly believed Xu Minghuang's words.

She nodded: "Minghuang, I'll go right away."

Following Xu Minghuang's reminder, Princess Changling quickly went to the Third Prince's Mansion. Seeing the plaque being taken down, she frowned.

The Jingzhao Yin had already counted the property and was about to take it away one truckload at a time.

Princess Changling stepped forward to stop the man. Jingzhao Yin asked, "What do you mean, Princess?"

"Don't misunderstand me, sir. I'm here to investigate the mystery surrounding Xu Feng's death and to interrogate a few people from you, sir."

Jingzhao Yin frowned and saw that Princess Changling had already taken out the token.

Helpless, Jingzhao Yin had to do as he was told and said, "If the princess has any questions, I can help to interrogate her. Lord Xu is dead, so please accept my condolences."

"Who said he was dead?" Princess Changling glared, "Don't curse Brother Feng. He must still be alive. The one who was carried away was not Brother Feng at all."

Jingzhao Yin thought that Princess Changling was just overly sad and talking nonsense. Because she was the Queen Mother's favorite princess, he did not dare to offend her and had to compromise and handed those people over to Princess Changling for disposal.

"Thank you." Princess Changling waved her hand and asked the guards behind her to take the person away.

This scene happened to be seen by Zhao Zhen who was standing not far away. He leaned on the steps and gnashed his teeth: "Xu Feng, how dare you deceive me! If I find you, I will grind you to dust!"
