Something big happened in Xiqiang.

Prince Mergan of Beidi died in Xiqiang and his body was thrown at the palace gate.

The news spread so quickly that there was no time to cover it up.

Ever since Mergan disappeared, the Beidi Queen's maternal family has mobilized their entire tribe to search for him. They had always believed he was in the Great Zhou, but when they heard the news again, they found out he had been murdered in the Western Qiang.

The queen fainted on the spot.

After waking up, he summoned his clansmen and vowed to avenge his son.

When the emperor came to persuade her, the queen said nothing but smiled sinisterly at him.

That night, the imperial concubine of Beidi, who was the most favored in the harem, was found dead in bed, with her head missing.

Then, someone reported that the eldest prince's palace contained a dragon robe and crown, as well as a sorcerer who cursed the emperor. The emperor rebuked the whistleblower for spreading rumors and slandering the eldest prince, and ordered him to be beheaded, but the empress, who had hurried over, stopped him.

The queen argued vigorously for the whistleblower and refused to back down.

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out in front of all the ministers, the Prime Minister had no choice but to suggest searching at the eldest prince's mansion. If the person was not found, not only would the informant be killed, but the Queen would also be forbidden to interfere in the eldest prince's affairs from then on.

The Emperor had just said "yes" and hadn't even thought about who to send when the Empress sneered, "I've already ordered the eldest prince and his family to be surrounded. Your Majesty, please stop stalling. That rebellious son has cursed you, and you're still trying to give him a chance to destroy the evidence."

There was a look of panic on the faces of all the ministers. So many things had happened in just a few days, and no one knew what would happen next.

The emperor had a dark face and stared at the queen fiercely, but the queen did not back down.

For a woman who has lost her son, there is nothing she would care about anymore.

If she is angered, with the strength of her mother's tribe, she will destroy the entire Beidi to bury her son.

The Prime Minister took his men to the eldest prince's mansion.

In the palace, the eldest prince and his family were locked in their own courtyard and were not allowed to move around freely.

The eldest prince looked ashen, knowing that he was in great danger.

The dragon robe is indeed his, and the crown is his, but the witch who cursed his father is not his.

His father doted on his mother so much and taught him very carefully, how could he possibly curse his father?

He prepared the dragon robe just as a precaution. In case his father had any accident, he could take out the imperial edict his father had given him and order the three armies to capture Mergan, denying him the opportunity to ascend the throne as the crown prince.

That’s right, even his father knew about the existence of the dragon robe. His father took great pains to write a will for him in advance. How could he possibly curse his father?

The searchers were very rude. They took the things they found and brought them to the palace from the street to report in a grand manner.

Before even entering the palace, the people knew that the eldest prince was extremely rebellious. In order to seize the throne, he was planning to poison the emperor and even prepared the dragon robe for his ascension to the throne.

in the palace.

The emperor's face remained dark.

He also didn't expect that the queen had already known about his arrangements for the eldest prince and had already prepared to deal with the eldest prince. She just pretended to know nothing.

Something happened to Mergan, and the Queen was desperate. She simply overturned the table. Either they die together, or...

"Queen, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

He suppressed his anger and asked the queen who was gritting her teeth and ready to die together.

The queen closed her eyes and was speechless for a long time.

Now that her son is gone, she has nothing to think about.

If the elders of her mother's tribe had not found her, she really wanted to destroy Beidi and bury the entire Beidi with her son.

The elders said she was the golden phoenix that soared from the tribe, and everyone knew of her injustice and sacrifice. At this point, Mergan couldn't possibly be resurrected. Instead of acting impulsively, she should crush everyone she had been targeting, making them kneel before Mergan's grave and be buried with him.

She thought about it for a long time and cried until she fainted several times.

In order to show their sincerity, the elders helped her kill the evil concubine that night.

Wasn’t Mergan beheaded?

The demon concubine's head was also chopped off.

That's not all. The elders also supported her in searching the eldest prince's mansion. They put the cursed villain there when the eldest prince was extremely sad because of the murder of the evil concubine.

The road has been paved for her, so why shouldn't she walk on it?

Compared to being buried with the entire Beidi, she would rather see the enemy die in front of her.

"I have no other requests, only that the Emperor uphold justice for my son and imprison the eldest prince and his wife who murdered him. Furthermore, the eldest prince has secretly kept the imperial robe and cursed the Emperor, committing treason and treason, and he deserves death according to the law."

"Queen, please don't go too far," the Emperor said bitterly, suppressing his anger. "Did you kill my beloved concubine? Did you plant the sorcerer in the eldest prince's mansion to frame him? Don't think I know nothing. I'm warning you. If you continue to be stubborn, be careful I'll wipe out your mother's family."

The queen laughed so hard that tears came out.

As she laughed, she found herself actually crying.

"Your Majesty, please speak out these words for everyone to hear. If it weren't for my mother's family, Your Majesty would never have been able to sit on the throne. Now, for the sake of that bitch and her son, you watch my son being killed by them and do nothing about it? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter to me. Your Majesty, please give it a try and see if my mother's family can be wiped out so easily? See if the ministers and people of Beidi will accept an ungrateful emperor, and if they will accept a prince who killed his king and his brother as the crown prince?"

In the imperial study, besides the emperor and the empress, there is also the prime minister who has always been fair.

Seeing the two quarreling, the prime minister could not help but stand in the middle and tried his best to persuade them to calm down first and not say harsh words in anger.

After a while, the Prime Minister asked, "Your Majesty, you keep saying that the Crown Prince was murdered by the First Prince and the Imperial Concubine. Do you have any evidence? If not, Your Majesty, please do not listen to those villains and become estranged from the Emperor."

"Estrangement? Humph," the Queen sneered, disheartened. "The Emperor has long since separated from me. In his eyes, apart from that bitch and the eldest prince, no one else is his relative. I have nothing to begin with, so at this point, separation is irrelevant to me."

This was a very bold statement, showing that he did not take the emperor seriously at all.

The emperor's hands were shaking with rage, but he also knew that if he did anything to the empress, her family would surely rise in rebellion. This was so sudden, and he had no preparation. He was certain to lose his throne and die a miserable death.

"The Prime Minister asked you if you have any evidence to prove that the crown prince was killed by the eldest prince. If you don't have it, then you don't have it. Why bother to listen to what he says and support him?" The emperor was still angry and spoke with sarcasm.

In any case, his beloved concubine has already lost her life, and his eldest son cannot die at the hands of the queen.

Slap it.

A token was thrown at the emperor's feet.

The Queen looked at him coldly and said through gritted teeth, "Open your eyes and let the eldest princess take a look. Ask her what this thing is."

Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. "This is the token of the Xiqiang Grand Prince's Mansion. It belonged to the Grand Prince's Consort's brother. My son held it in his hand before he died, and he couldn't pry it open. If I hadn't broken his fingers..."
