Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 275

"As long as you tell the truth, this Prime Minister can promise to protect you!" said Prime Minister Beicheng.

At this moment, he had a cold face and was determined to find out why Dehe Palace suddenly caught fire and why the emperor appeared in Dehe Palace?

What happened to the secret guards around the emperor? Why couldn't they rescue the emperor?

All these doubts made Beicheng Xiangguo not believe that Zhou Zhengan’s departure was an accident, and who were the other corpses in Dehe Palace?

"It was the Empress and the Second Prince who set fire to Dehe Palace and burned the Emperor, Concubine Ling, and Concubine Ying to death in the Dehe courtyard. This was because the Second Prince often asked the Empress to invite those concubines who had fallen out of favor to Dehe Palace to humiliate them. Today, the Emperor discovered this, and the Empress decided to go all out. She called the Second Prince out and then had someone set the palace on fire." The little girl sobbed as she finished her words.

What happened tonight really scared her.

"What a Queen Qu!" Bei Cheng Xianggong was furious after hearing this.

I didn’t expect that Queen Qu would dare to murder the emperor.

"Sir, what should we do now?" The officials following behind Prime Minister Beicheng were very scared when they heard this.

After all, the Qu family is not someone to be trifled with. Now that they have heard this terrible news, they will probably not have a good ending.

Besides, the emperor only has the second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince.

I heard that the third prince accidentally injured his offspring's roots while fighting in a border town. It seems that he has no hope of having offspring in this lifetime.

It is impossible for such a person to ascend the throne as emperor.

The fifth prince was injured and had difficulty walking. Their Xijing Kingdom would not support a prince in a wheelchair to ascend the throne.

The remaining two were the second prince born to the queen, and the seventh prince born to Concubine Chu.

Among these two people, it is obvious that the second prince is the legitimate son, and their next emperor will probably only be the second prince.

"Did the emperor say anything?" Prime Minister Bei Cheng clenched his hands tightly. He understood that the late king was now in his prime and it was impossible for him to issue a will.

If the second prince really ascends the throne, given the current arrogance of the Qu family, their Beicheng family is afraid that they will have no good days.

Prime Minister Beicheng, now, I really hope that the emperor can leave behind a few words.

The officials behind Prime Minister Beicheng also looked at each other in confusion. They were also a little scared. After all, they had heard about the character of the Second Prince.

"The emperor said... the emperor said that the second prince is not his blood, and he passed the throne to the seventh prince. He abolished the queen and the second prince, demoted them to commoners, and named Concubine Ling as Concubine Ling, and Concubine Ying as Concubine Ying." The little palace maid said tremblingly.

"What? The second prince is not the emperor's bloodline?" Bei Cheng Xiangguo was also shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that the queen would be so bold as to give birth to someone else's child and confuse the royal bloodline.

"Prime Minister, the Queen wants you to come over!" A young eunuch hurried over and said.

But his expression was one of great arrogance.

"You keep an eye on her." Prime Minister Beicheng said to the two guards behind him.

"Yes!"

"Prime Minister!" The other officials felt a little uneasy when they saw Prime Minister Bei Cheng leave.

"Go find Concubine Chu and the Seventh Prince and protect them first!" Bei Cheng Xianggong whispered in the ear of a confidant.

Prime Minister Beicheng looked at Qu Yanling standing in Kunning Palace, and his eyes were not very good.

He knew from the beginning that none of the Qu family was a good person. If it weren't for the poison queen, his daughter wouldn't have died. If it weren't for the poison queen, his son and grandson wouldn't have to spend their whole lives in a wheelchair.

"Why, Prime Minister, you don't even know how to greet me when you see me?" Queen Qu looked at Prime Minister Beicheng coldly, staring at her.

I felt very proud.

She was the daughter of the Qu family, so she naturally knew that Lord Beicheng would not want her son to ascend the throne, but what could she do?

Is her son going to become the emperor of Xijing Kingdom?

"Empress? You are nothing but a vicious woman. The late emperor had already deposed you before his death! Qu!" Prime Minister Beicheng said coldly.

"Who else heard it? Who else can come out to testify? Haha! Bei Chengyuan, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. My son's ascension to the throne is legitimate." Qu Yanling said proudly.

"Hmph, he's just a bastard, how can he be qualified?" Bei Chengyuan said to Qu Yanling.

"I say that he is the emperor's offspring, so he is. Who dares to question it? Bei Chengyuan, you know, when my son ascends the throne, the first thing he will deal with is your Bei Cheng family." Qu Yanling laughed arrogantly.

"Hmph, in this bright and clear world, Qu, you will definitely be punished for what you have done. The late emperor has ordered the throne to be passed to the seventh prince. What does it have to do with you!" After Bei Chengyuan finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and wanted to leave.

"Stop him!" Following Queen Qu's order, many guards came out of Kunning Palace. Bei Chengyuan saw that among them were the shadow guards of the late emperor.

No wonder, he said, the emperor was burned to death in there.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave my Kunning Palace today." Qu Yanling said proudly, blowing on the teacup in her hand.

"Qu, what do you want to do?" Bei Chengyuan didn't expect that Qu Yanling actually wanted to make things difficult for him.

"It's nothing, it's just that the late emperor is really lonely in the underground. I thought that the Prime Minister was deeply loved by the late emperor, so I sent the Prime Minister down to accompany the late emperor!" Qu Yanling said with a smug smile on her sinister face.

In her opinion, this matter will not change any further. If those people are dissatisfied with her and her son, they can just be killed directly. Why should she stay and cause trouble for them?

"Qu, you vicious woman, the kingdom of Xijing will never be handed over to you and your son!" Bei Chengyuan thought to himself that he would stop Zhou Chengbei from ascending the throne even if it cost him his life.

"Really? I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Jiang Tong from Xijing Kingdom is going to change his name to Qu. Haha!" Qu Yanling smiled proudly again.

"Humph, do you really think there is no one left in Xijing Kingdom?" Bei Chengyuan said, pointing at Qu Yanling's nose.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, your nephew is dead! Do you want to know how your daughter died? It was me. I bribed the palace maids and added Tibetan red fire into her food. She died with one body and two lives. She was really unlucky." Qu Yanling said proudly.

"Evil woman!" Bei Chengyuan staggered and almost fell when he heard this. He knew that his daughter's death was strange, but he had no evidence. The emperor was unwilling to make the decision for his daughter, so he had been holding this breath all these years.

"And your good nephew's foot, do you know how he got injured? Who made him recite better than my Bei'er? Bei'er was so angry that he pushed him into the water. My son personally took a stone and smashed his leg bones! Hahaha, he will never have a chance to stand up in his life!" Qu Yanling smiled with a look of relief.
