No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 544: Be a Clear-headed Ghost

The Fourth Master looked down at the Prince of Zhi. He fell to the ground like a lost dog, unable to recover.

Su Peisheng, the acting genius, swiftly got up from the ground and spat out the blood in his mouth.

"Come here, arrest all these traitors!"

Following his sharp command, countless guards rushed in from outside the Yangxin Palace.

They grabbed swords and captured the group of people in black.

Anyone who tried to struggle was killed instantly by the merciless swords in their hands.

"Brother, I gave you a chance," the Fourth Master said with deep hope in his eyes.

When he received the letter from Mingheng, he did not order him to be killed on the spot. Instead, he let Mingheng act according to the circumstances.

I have already given him a chance out of selfishness, if he can give up his ambition and live a peaceful and idle prince.

It’s not impossible for him to give him a rich and prosperous life.

In addition, Prince Zhi has a son, and he even thought that since Honghui has taken over, he could also use his cousin.

However, he didn't expect that because he cared about this bit of brotherhood, the boss would go straight into the palace.

Prince Zhi laughed heartily: "Fourth Brother, you are still the best~"

"How did you find out? Let me be the one who knows."

He had no idea how he had leaked the information and was not aware of it at all.

How could such a powerful thing as a musket suddenly become unusable?

The Fourth Master said, "Then let you die knowing full well..."

The people around him were taken away one by one, and in the end only the Prince of Zhi was left.

Only then did he realize that once Zhu Tianmu's people contacted Concubine Hui, the Fourth Master would know about it.

In fact, although the Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan have some control over the harem, they cannot know in detail who a concubine meets and what she does every day.

After all, she was Emperor Kangxi's concubine. As long as she didn't do anything out of line, she could just live in the palace with good food and drink.

She will not be short of money for all food and drink expenses.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Yi had nothing to do and started a quarrel with Concubine Hui. She wrote down what Concubine Hui did every day and even where she went for a stroll.

When Concubine Yi noticed that Concubine Hui always went to a remote garden herself or sent someone to do so, she knew something was wrong.

But she still thought that this old woman couldn't stand the loneliness, so she kept a guard there, which was why she always went there.

Wasn't Concubine Yi excited? After all, she had found Concubine Hui's fault and could also make Prince Zhi lose face and no longer threaten the emperor.

This is considered a great achievement, and it would be no problem to give Lao Jiu a new title and job.

After Concubine Yi collected the evidence, she couldn't wait to put it in front of the Fourth Master.

When the Fourth Master heard that Hui E'niang was going to cuckold the Emperor, he couldn't help but take it seriously.

But this is also a family disgrace, and family disgrace should not be made public.

So the Fourth Master sent people to keep an eye on him, hoping to catch him in the act quietly.

Unexpectedly, this investigation revealed a huge...

"Tunnels, muskets, food..." The Fourth Master snorted coldly, "Boss, you are quite a ruthless person."

"But your staff can't watch over it all the time, and Concubine Hui doesn't dare to let me stay there all the time."

"I ordered all the gunpowder in the muskets to be replaced with sand."

"How does it feel to be so sure of victory, but not be able to fire a single shot?"

In particular, Prince Zhi was too confident in his firearms, and it was inconvenient for a group of people to come in, so they didn't even bring swords.

Once the musket is useless, there will be no power to fight back.

"Then how do you know it's today?" Prince Zhi still didn't understand.

There are so many guards outside, it is impossible for them all to stay in the palace under normal circumstances.

Looking at the people who rushed in just now, I knew that they had been gathered outside the Yangxin Palace for a long time.

He didn't reveal his whereabouts along the way, and even the decision to pick up his mother today was a sudden impulse. How did he know it was today?

The Fourth Master was genuinely laughing now: "You've been feasting and drinking lavishly in the suburbs of Beijing for three days. Do you really think my people are just idle eaters?!"

When mentioning this, the Fourth Master felt really happy.

On the first day that Prince Zhi and his companions arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, they began to make large purchases.

They thought that if they bought it in the village instead of at the market, no one would find out.

But the group of people in the village sold it to them at a high price, but they were worried in their hearts.

They are not fools. If they suddenly buy so much meat, how many people will eat it?

Could it be that the White Lotus Sect has made a comeback?

On the same day, several village chiefs secretly reported the matter to the authorities.

Upon investigation, we found that Prince Zhi's men had already been seen, and they were all watching in the dark.

Everything this group of people ate, drank, and talked about was recorded clearly.

The Fourth Master would collect reports almost every two hours, and their every move was under his watch.

So, what is there to fight for?!

Prince Zhi's hands dropped dejectedly. The victor becomes the king and the loser becomes the bandit. That was the end of it.

He struggled and said, "My mother is innocent. She did it all for me. She is just a weak woman..."

He looked at the Fourth Master pleadingly, hoping that he would relent.

The Fourth Master said, "If you had just said that you would have spared the Queen, your mother would have been able to survive."

"But, do you and your mother deserve to live?!"

He was telling the truth and he said it twice. As long as Prince Zhi released him because Cha Cha was a woman, he would keep Concubine Hui.

After all, Concubine Hui had no son and was so old that she wouldn't live for many years if she was imprisoned.

But Prince Zhi didn't do that. He didn't even intend to let his brother's wife and children go.

How could he show mercy to such a person?

Prince Zhi belatedly began to kowtow, and the blue bricks on the ground were stained with a thin layer of red.

But until he was dragged away, the Fourth Master did not nod.

The farce came to an end, and the children in the side hall did not make any noise and were still sleeping soundly.

This is the sleeping incense that Lin Mingyan had asked Wu to develop a long time ago. After lighting it, the sleep quality is excellent.

There are no side effects and it's not addictive, so that's why we give it to our kids.

I called them here on purpose today, fearing that Prince Zhi might not go straight to the Yangxin Palace, or split his troops into two groups and scare them again.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong. All the people in Prince Zhi's group who entered the palace were captured, and those on the other side of the tunnel, including Concubine Hui, were also captured long ago.

Lin Mingyan rubbed her swollen temples and said, "It's finally resolved. Otherwise, I would have been feeling uneasy every day."

It seems that I'm getting older. I used to be able to stay up all night without any problem, but now I feel exhausted even in the early morning.

Seeing this, the Fourth Master carried her directly to the bedroom prepared in the side hall: "Everything will be handled by others. If you are tired, go to sleep first."

Lin Mingyan was so worried she couldn't sleep. "I don't know what's happened to Mingheng and Shisi. We haven't received any supplies in half a year."
