The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

The emperor didn't want to see his son who only knew how to cry. It was simply a pipe dream for him to replace the prince with one who looked so miserable.

He has not yet found a woman to take responsibility for.

"Li Zhuo, take the second prince away first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The second prince was dragged out directly. He didn’t dare to shout for mercy. This matter was not a trivial matter, but he guessed that his father would make a big deal out of a small matter.

After all, he is the emperor's biological son. No matter how angry his father is with him, he will not kill him.

Thinking of this, the Second Prince felt a little relieved.

When the person was taken away, he didn't struggle too much, thus avoiding making a fool of himself.

When only the emperor and Concubine De were left in Qianqiu Palace, it became dark and the surroundings were shrouded in a black aura.

The emperor walked slowly to Concubine De, "Why? I think I have treated you well!"

The emperor looked at Concubine De's face, as if in a dream. He was asking about Yao Xiangjun, but it seemed not like she was the one being asked.

When Concubine De saw the emperor's eyes, she felt disgusted. "You old man, you dare to ask me why? What the emperor asked is really ridiculous!"

Concubine De got up from the ground, walked around the emperor, and sneered, "Zhao Nanxiao, you are an old man with a haggard face, do you still want me to really like you?"

emperor:"........."

The emperor stretched out his hand and saw his rough big hand. Because of his illness, he quickly aged and became thin, and there was not much flesh left in his hand.

It's over. The person in front of me is not Shang Mengxi.

He is not the prince of Zhenbei Marquis back then.

The emperor's eyes gradually became clear. Shang Mengxi was already dead. The woman in front of him was his daughter and also his substitute.

He didn't get her, but he got her daughter. That brief period of good times was mostly his imagination.

Concubine De didn't know what was happening in the emperor's mind, she continued to taunt, "Zhao Nanxiao, you think you are so great, but your son doesn't even take you seriously!"

“Also, to tell you the truth, my mother has never loved you, you are just her stepping stone.

She approached you because the Emperor wanted to get rid of the Zhenbei Army and asked my mother to confuse you!"

“Hahaha, you are such a fool that you were fooled by my mother. You, the Marquis of Zhenbei, just stay in the Northland like this, guarding the Northland for my uncle, the emperor, hahaha!”

"Zhao Nanxiao, don't you think you are ridiculous?"

"Your whole life has been a joke!"

The emperor's chest was churning and blood spurted out of his mouth again.

When Concubine De saw the emperor vomiting blood, she was stunned at first, then she laughed out loud, "Hahaha, vomiting blood, hahaha!"

At this moment, Concubine De felt extremely happy.

"Zhao Nanxiao, I know I won't survive, but you'll be here to accompany me soon. Hahaha, even though you're old and useless, I don't want you to live any longer!"

"You rebelled to gain this kingdom. When the time comes, you will return it to the merchants. Haha...ha..."

Defei's laughter suddenly stopped!

A large hand gripped her neck.

"Crack!"

Defei's body slumped to the ground, her mouth open and her eyes wide open!

He looks like he is dying with his eyes open!

The emperor didn't even look at the corpse on the ground.

"Somebody come!"

At this time, the heavy door of the palace was pushed open, and Feng Shun and his men ran in, bending over.

"No need to close the door!"

Zhao Nanxiao let the wind outside blow on his robe.

Maybe because it was going to rain, the wind was particularly strong at this moment.

The strong wind blew on Zhao Nanxiao's robe and on his thin body.

But he stood there firmly.

Feng Shun was frightened when he saw the bloodstains on the emperor's robe.

The emperor vomited blood again.

The prince is not in the capital at this time!

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm in the palace!

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, your health is at risk."

The emperor now opened his arms, feeling the strong wind coming towards him.

Zhao Nanxiao had been a soldier all his life and had seen all kinds of storms.

This difficulty is nothing.

"Feng Shun, dispose of Concubine De's body!"

It was only then that Eunuch Feng noticed that there was a woman lying not far away.

At this time, the woman's clothes were barely covering her body.

"Throw the people into a mass grave and let them be eaten by a pack of wild dogs. You do it yourself!"

Feng Shun lowered his body, "It's your majesty!"

The emperor looked at Mu Qing and Yang He outside the palace and ordered: "Notify Huainan Dao Zhansheng, Shannan Dao Luzhang, Jiangnan Dao Zhenglin, and Henan Dao Xiangzhou to secretly bring troops to Beijing to guard the capital!"

Yang He's heart sank, these people were all His Majesty's former subordinates.

Coming to Beijing at this time, could it be that...

When Yang He saw the blood on the emperor's robe, he knew that His Majesty was preparing for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

But, at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can he come back?

Yang He's heart was filled with fear.

The current situation is not much better than when the rebellion broke out in the north.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will notify you immediately!"

Yang He left in a hurry.

The emperor did not go to see the second prince, but locked him up in Qianqiu Palace.

The Qianqiu Palace was guarded by imperial guards.

Only palace servants were allowed to bring food in.

Then, news came from the palace.

When Concubine De died, Your Majesty was so sad that he suspended court for three days.

Because of the funeral, the second prince's wedding was postponed indefinitely.

However, the third prince's wedding date went on as planned.

The emperor's move caught the ministers in the court off guard.

They didn't know what evil had happened in the palace recently.

How could Concubine De die of illness at such a young age?

Also, what does the death of Concubine De have to do with the Second Prince?

Why should he stay in the palace to mourn for her!!!

Concubine De is not the second prince’s biological mother!

The emperor is really old and confused, he is acting so foolishly.

Also, why was the second prince's wedding date postponed, but the third prince's could be held normally?

There is something weird about this matter.

When Meng Jijiu came out of the imperial city, he was stopped by Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, "Master Jijiu, please stay!"

Meng Jijiu turned around and saw that it was Minister Ma. "Master Ma, what do you want to do?"

Minister Ma pointed to the sky and said, "Do you understand what that person meant? Is your granddaughter's wedding going to be postponed?"

The wedding is only three days away. It would be a joke to call it off now.

Meng Jijiu thought it was a good thing, as he didn't like the second prince in the first place.

Their Meng family has a tradition of poetry and literature, and he doesn't want his granddaughter to marry into the royal family at all.

However, at that time, the granddaughter was chosen by Concubine Shu.

Now that he heard that the wedding date has been postponed, Meng Jijiu is the happiest.

Seeing that Shangshu Ma was suspected of instigating, he immediately bowed his hands to the sky and said, "Sir Ma, your Majesty is a man of great talent and vision. How can his decision be wrong?"

Minister Ma: “….”
