Spring Drunk Chang'an

Emperor Yingwu both oppressed and praised the Crown Prince, and his thoughts were complicated, but he never regarded the Crown Prince as a mortal enemy like Concubine Qu and Xiao Xun did. After all, he was his own son.

Not enemies.

Later, the crown prince took control of the two armies and forced him to abdicate. His thoughts were mostly filled with sighs, anger, helplessness, and compromise...

He agreed.

He knew clearly in his heart that handing over the country to the prince was the right choice. His son grew up and became an outstanding emperor. Although Emperor Yingwu was annoyed, deep down in his heart, he was more or less proud as a father.

Emperor Yingwu cared about the crown prince.

Even if it’s not much!

However, on the day of his son's wedding, someone suddenly attempted to assassinate his son in the Qiankun Hall. It was a young eunuch that no one knew. He was worried and angry. He frowned and turned around, looking at Queen Song. He lowered his voice and said angrily: "Queen, you, you..."

How do you manage your harem?

He wanted to ask this question. After all, in his opinion, when Concubine Qu was in charge of the six palaces, the harem had always been peaceful and stable, and nothing had happened. But this time when the prince got married, in order to "please" his son who was about to ascend the throne, Emperor Yingwu reluctantly suppressed his beloved daughter and handed over the palace power. What was the result?

Queen Song holds the Phoenix Seal and she manages things like this?

On the day of the prince's wedding, the young eunuch who was drinking attempted to assassinate him?

How do you choose the person?

Emperor Yingwu could hardly suppress his rage, but he had to do it. In front of the entire court, on the day of the Crown Prince's wedding, he couldn't cause a "dissension between the Emperor and the Empress." So, he swallowed his accusations, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Empress, I leave the interrogation to you. You must find out the truth of this matter!"

Although the young eunuch was killed by the prince, there are still clues, such as: the eunuch's roommate, his friends, who provided him with the knife, etc.

Any problem along the same line must be found out.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand and will not let go of any clues!"

"Dig! I'm going to dig out the mastermind behind this too~~" Queen Song sneered, glanced at Concubine Qu from the corner of her eye, and cursed word by word.

Although, she had heard her son say, she had clearly known that Concubine Qu would "make trouble" today, and that they had condoned it in order to gather evidence and catch them all in one fell swoop, but she actually saw, on the day of the wedding, after the ceremony, someone took a knife and tried to assassinate her son on such a festive occasion!

Queen Song still couldn't help feeling angry.

When she spoke, her expression was extremely cold, and there was murderous intent in her eyes.

Emperor Yingwu was startled, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he understood. "That's good. I'll leave this matter to you..."

The assassination attempt had taken place, and then ended so quickly. The Emperor and Empress were preparing to conduct an investigation afterwards, and the officials, who had been hanging on their hands, finally put their minds at ease. Even those who were not so 'friendly' towards the Crown Prince, sighed slightly in disappointment. Just like Xiao Xun, he barely managed to put away his complicated feelings, put on a half-hearted smile, clasped his fists, and stepped forward, ready to comfort his 'brother'...

The look in Song Bin's eyes when he looked at Prince Yan showed a rare bit of 'sympathy'!

Since becoming a eunuch, this guy has really accepted his fate and can barely be called "well-behaved". When trying to please the prince, it can be seen that he is quite awkward and uncomfortable, but he can still swallow his pride and put on a smile!

In order to survive and live a good life in the future, he "endured humiliation and bore heavy burdens". As a result, his stable life was ruined by Concubine Qu!

Song Bin's eyes involuntarily looked at Concubine Qu!

What would this daring, reckless woman do? Would she choose to go down this path to the bitter end, or would she fight for her life?

With the young eunuch who had carried out the assassination, they were able to follow this clue and expose Concubine Qu, without having to worry about Emperor Yingwu's partiality...

Obviously, Concubine Qu also knew this. From the moment the young eunuch failed in his assassination attempt and was killed instead, she knew in her heart that her wish might not succeed!

As long as the crown prince is alive, the court will not be in chaos, and her son will have no chance to ascend the throne.

but……

She won't give up!

She was desperate. The worst that could happen was that they would die together. Or, if she couldn't kill the prince, she would make him suffer for the rest of his life and never let him live happily!

Killing one doesn't hurt, killing two makes a profit!

Her eyes suddenly widened and her face became ferocious. She suddenly stood up, grabbed the wine jug on the table beside her, and threw it hard to the ground.

There was a clear "bang" sound in the hall.

The sound wasn't very loud, but everyone heard it...

The civil and military officials instinctively turned their gazes towards the source of the voice. Emperor Yingwu always remembered where his beloved woman was. He also looked over with concern, and the Song family...

Everyone, including the prince, silently said this in their hearts!

'Here it comes'!

"Concubine, you..."

What's wrong? Did you hurt your hand?

Emperor Yingwu wanted to ask with concern, but before he could finish his words, he heard a sudden noise outside the palace.

The vermilion palace gate,

Blood splattered the Golden Throne Hall. Outside the towering Qiankun Hall, the sounds of swords and axes, and shouts, suddenly reached the area. Immediately, candlelight flickered, and light and shadow danced freely on the dragon pillars lining the palace walls...

Someone rushed in!

so many people……

They were all big and strong, with distorted faces, holding sharp blades and fully armored. They entered the hall and quickly surrounded the exit, staring at the ministers and the crown prince with piercing eyes...

"What is this? Dragon Court Guard?"

Some officials were stunned.

All the officials frowned and instinctively protected the royal family.

They carried Emperor Yingwu, the Crown Prince and others behind them.

"Huo Jing, you bold traitor, you broke into the Qiankun Palace without an imperial edict at this time. Are you planning to rebel?" Song Bin looked around and led the crowd out.

The Dragon Court Guard was a branch of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and was separated from this army to guard the imperial palace. Huo Jing was one of the leaders of the Dragon Court Guard.

It was also Concubine Qu who secretly bribed and won over her trusted forces.

After all, Concubine Qu had been in charge of the palace for more than 20 years and was considered one of Huo Jing's direct superiors. The two had been in contact for a long time and had worked together a lot.

Without being an official, and not wanting the "pillow talk" of the "emperor", Huo Jing was just a small sergeant in the Longting Guard before he hooked up with Concubine Qu. After joining Concubine Qu, he was promoted all the way, and in just three years, he became the commander of an army. He continued to be in this position and even became the deputy of the Jinyiwei, with the hope of leading an army!

This is basically all thanks to Concubine Qu.

Therefore, relying on the Empress's rise to power, he naturally had the evidence to confiscate their property and annihilate their clan. In the Empress's hands, the two of them could be described as 'in cahoots'...

Concubine Qu pressed on step by step, and Huo Jing was helpless. In his heart, he had a faint feeling that if he succeeded, he would be the first person to follow the dragon, and his family would surely prosper.
