Long Fu took out a bamboo flute and started playing it.
When some ministers heard the Queen Mother's words, they were all furious, especially Prince Yu.
He looked at the Queen Mother with a look of deep sorrow and anguish, "Sister-in-law, you are so confused! How could you collude with foreign nations to rebel? You are going to destroy the Tianqi Empire!"
"Yes, Empress Dowager, Your Highness Prince Yi, this is absolutely unacceptable. You'd better stop. If you can turn back from your mistakes, the Emperor will surely show mercy."
"Please, Queen Mother, please, His Royal Highness Prince Yi, please stop and don't harm the innocent!"
For a moment, all kinds of crying and begging sounds came one after another. The Queen Mother looked at these people with a sneer. She just liked to see these people groveling and begging for mercy in front of her.
"It's no use begging me. If I ask you, I'm asking the emperor. As long as he writes the edict of succession, I will have them stop."
At this time, Long Fu blew for a long time but didn't hear any movement outside. Instead, two soldiers were kicked in from outside.
When everyone looked towards the door, they found that it was the brothers Tang Wenqi and Tang Wenle who broke in from outside.
Long Fu put down his flute and looked at the two men with a fierce look on his face. "Stop! If you dare to move again, I will execute them right now."
Tang Wenqi and Tang Wenle did not take action again, but looked at Long Fu.
"Prince Yi, stop struggling in vain. The things and people in the secret passage you relied on have been eliminated by us. Zhu Mao has also been executed. Now my eldest brother has brought the Tang family army back to the capital. The scene you want to see will never be realized." Tang Wenqi said sarcastically.
Long Fu was in disbelief. No wonder the Imperial Master of Western Shu didn't show up after he played the flute for a long time. It turned out that they had been exposed long ago?
"Impossible!" The Queen Mother said with a ferocious look on her face, "Fu'er, don't listen to his nonsense. Those corpses were invulnerable to swords and guns, how could they be easily dealt with? The Imperial Master must have not heard it.
Also, the Western Shu army is attacking Youzhou, and the Tang army is busy with its own affairs, so how could they possibly appear outside the city? They are just trying to disturb your mind. Since they don't want to take the opportunity, then let's start killing him!" The Queen Mother pointed at Prince Yu and said, "I want to see whether the Emperor wants to save the world or the lives of all these ministers."
"Bah!" Old Prince Yu looked at the Queen Mother and spat, cursing, "Even if I die here today, I will never let you get what you want."
Old Prince Yu closed his eyes, and his family members around him burst into tears.
Emperor Tianqi had never expected the Queen Mother to be so crazy that she actually wanted to kill all the ministers of Tianqi. "How dare you!"
The soldiers standing beside Prince Yu raised their swords and attacked him upon receiving the order.
"what!"
"Father!"
As the crowd shouted, there was a "bang!" sound of something falling.
Prince Yu quickly opened his eyes when he found that he was fine. The others also looked at the fallen figure in disbelief.
how come?
No one understood why the man who was about to chop off Prince Yu's head died himself?
Only a few people looked towards the roof, including the three generations of the Tang family and Emperor Tianqi.
At this moment, Gu Lingyue was peeling off the tiles on the roof, making a large hole. She sat on the roof and gave Emperor Tianqi an awkward smile. "Um... I'm sorry, the hole is too small, and it's inconvenient to move around, so I enlarged it. Father, you won't ask me to pay for it, will you?"
Emperor Tianqi rolled his eyes at her and said nothing.
Is this about money? She was the first person in the world who dared to tear down his roof, and did it right in front of him.
Tang Zhenhong was relieved to see Gu Lingyue, and a proud expression appeared on his face.
When the Queen Mother saw that it was Gu Lingyue, she gnashed her teeth in anger and said, "You were the one who killed someone just now."
She used the affirmative sentence because she couldn't help but feel that the little bitch in front of her had that ability.
"A birthday gift for you." Gu Lingyue said with an expression that looked like she was asking for a beating. "How is it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Not only this, but I also took care of those things in the secret passages in your palace. I burned them all to ashes."
Gu Lingyue’s main goal is to make someone so angry that he won’t stop until he piss her off to death.
"You..." The Queen Mother's face was twisted with anger. "You bitch, I will cut you into pieces."
Gu Lingyue chuckled, "Okay! Then come up, old witch, I'm waiting for you."
The Queen Mother was so angry that her blood boiled. She pointed at Gu Lingyue and shouted at Long Fu, "Kill her! Quick! Kill her for me!"
At this moment, Long Fu no longer listened to her command. All he could hear was Gu Lingyue's words "burn it all clean with one fire".
Concubine Lu didn't say a word from beginning to end, but her face was pale and she stared straight at Emperor Tianqi, wondering what she was thinking?
Seeing Long Fu standing there in a daze, the Queen Mother angrily yelled, "Useless thing, has my training for you been wasted?"
She turned to look at the soldiers who were holding the ministers hostage, "Kill them all for me..."
"Hmm!" Before she could finish her words, Gu Lingyue shot her in the shoulder, and blood immediately flowed out.
The Queen Mother grimaced in pain, her hair falling down. She had completely gone mad. "Kill them! Kill them all!"
Long Fu also came to his senses at this time. Thinking of what Tang Wenqi said and what Gu Lingyue said, he knew that he was finished and fell to the ground.
Gu Lingyue looked down at the soldiers and said indifferently, "Whoever dares to move will suffer the same fate as that man just now."
The soldiers looked at each other, and then looked at Long Fu and the Queen Mother.
They rebelled because they were following orders, hoping to gain the credit of following the emperor and bring honor to their family. But now it is obviously impossible, and they don't want to cause their families to die in vain.
Moreover, the real boss is silent now, so isn't their rebellion meaningless?
So they all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to plead guilty, "Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Tianqi looked coldly at the soldiers kneeling there, and said with dignity: "Come here, capture all these traitors!"
Soon the imperial guards rushed in, surrounded the soldiers on the ground, and subdued them and took them away.
The ministers and their families all breathed a sigh of relief. The empress dowager saw that there was no hope. She picked up her fallen hairpin and was about to commit suicide. However, Chang Jinnuo knocked the hairpin away with a palm, and the empress dowager fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Long Fu quickly pleaded with Emperor Tianqi, "Father, I was wrong! I will never do it again! Please forgive me."
Only now did he realize how scared he was.
Emperor Tianqi ignored him at this time, but looked at the ministers and their families below, waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.
Long Fu didn't know what Emperor Tianqi meant, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything else.
After everyone left, Tang Zhenhong also stood up.
He didn't expect that the rebellion could be resolved so smoothly today. The rest was the emperor's own business. It was not convenient for him to stay, so he planned to leave.
Before leaving, he called Gu Lingyue down from the roof.
Gu Lingyue was curious and wanted to hear how Emperor Tianqi dealt with the empress dowager. When she heard Tang Zhenhong calling her, she reluctantly jumped down from the roof and came to Tang Zhenhong's side.
"Grandpa, don't we really want to hear how my father dealt with that old witch?" Gu Lingyue pretended to speak in a low voice, but now in the banquet hall, even a pin drop could be heard, so how could everyone not hear what she said.
Queen Shen was worried about Long Jun's inhumanity at the moment and didn't pay any attention to this matter. Besides, she would be happy no matter who was unlucky between the Queen Mother and Gu Lingyue. However, Long Jun had a gloomy face.
He found that his father was too indulgent towards this woman, and now he really regretted the marriage.
After the Queen Mother came down from Gu Lingyue, she had been glaring at her viciously, wishing she could tear her to pieces and eat her. When she heard what Gu Lingyue said, she was already injured and was knocked down by Chang Jinnuo. Her blood was boiling, and she was so angry at Gu Lingyue that she spit out blood and fainted.
Chang Jinnuo was speechless. Princess Jing must have done it on purpose, but he felt relieved. It was the old witch who wanted to kill his grandfather just now. She deserved it!
The three generations of the Tang family, grandparents and grandchildren, automatically stood beside Gu Lingyue after she came down from her. Especially when the empress dowager glared at Gu Lingyue with vicious eyes, they all felt that it was too good for her to faint from anger.
Emperor Tianqi said unhappily, "Does Princess Jing intend to stay and repair the roof?"
Gu Lingyue chuckled when she heard this, "I, your daughter-in-law, smell so bad. I'd better not stay here, lest I bother Father."
Having said that, he pulled Tang Zhenhong away, and Tang Wenqi and Tang Wenle also hurriedly said goodbye to Emperor Tianqi.
In fact, she just wanted to piss off the Queen Mother. Now that the old witch had fainted, there was not much point in her staying here.
After everyone left, Emperor Tianqi looked at Long Fu coldly and said, "Stupid, you don't even know that you are being used. How could I have given birth to a son like you?"
Long Fu sat down and said with a wry smile, "Yes, I am so stupid. I also feel that I am not your biological son. That's why you don't like me."
"you……"
Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he picked up a bowl on the table and threw it at Longfu. Longfu did not dodge. The bowl hit Longfu's head directly, then fell to the ground and broke with a "bang".
There was also a bloody wound on Long Fu's head.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Lu quickly knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, Fu'er knows nothing. This is all my fault. Please forgive Fu'er."
As he said this, he kowtowed repeatedly.
"Hmph! He doesn't know that you know, so why don't you tell me what's going on?" Emperor Tianqi said with a sharp look.
"Your humble servant..." Concubine Lu didn't know where to begin. She had been crying so much that her elegant makeup was ruined, and her forehead was red and swollen from the impact. She looked particularly miserable.
Seeing his mother's expression, Long Fu felt particularly distressed. He didn't want her to suffer any more injustice, so he said, "Father, this is all my fault. I accept the blame and only ask that you forgive me."
Emperor Tianqi felt somewhat comforted when he saw that Long Fu still had some conscience and admitted his mistake in the end, without causing major casualties.
So he said, "Fool, do you think that if you were not my son, I would allow you to live until now?"
Hearing this, Long Fu raised his head in shock, "You...you are saying that I am your biological son?"
Concubine Lu also looked at Emperor Tianqi in disbelief.
"Nonsense, if you are not my son, do you think you would be willing to be that thief's son?" Emperor Tianqi said with his eyes wide open.
"Of course not." Long Fu said quickly.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Lu's mouth trembled, tears streaming down her face. "Can you let me die in vain? What on earth is going on? When I woke up, I was clearly..."
Concubine Lu couldn't continue speaking, and finally said, "The Queen Mother also said it was his."
Emperor Tianqi sneered, "You believe everything the Queen Mother says? Just because she's your aunt, you don't even ask me when you have questions?"
Concubine Lu: ...
Causing chaos in the harem is a matter of life and death. Does she dare to ask?
"Twenty-seven years ago, when I was returning from outside the palace, I happened to see you drugged. I stayed in your palace until almost dawn before leaving for something else."
Emperor Tianqi did not say the rest, but Concubine Lu had a rough guess.
In order to completely control her, the Queen Mother, her aunt, allowed Long Aochun into her bedroom. When she woke up and saw Long Aochun sitting in her bedroom, she thought she was with him.
Concubine Lu was originally just shedding tears silently, but now she burst into tears, for her cautiousness over the years and for her stupidity.
She had been played around by her aunt for so many years, and she thought her aunt was really doing it for her own good, but she didn't expect it was actually for her son.
Long Fu no longer asked Emperor Tianqi to forgive him. He was indeed guilty. He didn't even know who his father was, and he helped others plot against his father. No wonder his father called him a pig.
Since the matter was clear, Long Fu was his son after all, so Emperor Tianqi spared his life. In the end, he ordered the empress dowager to drink poisoned wine, abolished Long Fu's title of prince, and Concubine Lu's title of concubine, demoted them to commoners, and forced them to hide their identities and be expelled from the capital. All nine members of the Lu family were executed without mercy, and all other ministers who colluded with Long Aochun and the empress dowager were dismissed, demoted, or exiled thousands of miles away.
At the same time, at the gate of the palace.
When Gu Lingyue and the Tang family members were at the palace gate, they met Tang Wenqing who was walking into the city.
Tang Wenqing roughly told a few people what happened in Yizhou and Youzhou, and told Gu Lingyue that Longshang had returned to Youzhou to help his father, and asked her not to worry, then hurried into the palace.
Tang Zhenhong asked Tang Wenqi to stay at the palace gate and wait for Tang Wenqing to return to Prince Jing's Mansion together, while he, Gu Lingyue and Tang Wenle returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Wang An came to greet him hurriedly. He did not avoid the Tang family's grandparents and grandchildren, and said anxiously: "Princess, something happened."
Gu Lingyue's heart skipped a beat. What Wang An was talking about must be related to Long Shang. And just now, her eldest cousin had said that Xishu had sent 300,000 troops to attack Youzhou. Could something have happened to Long Shang? Or were there zombies on the border?
She tried her best to remain calm and asked cautiously, "Did something happen to Long Shang?"
"Don't worry, the prince is fine, but Yun Hao is in trouble.
"Your Highness said that the people of Western Shu have brought out a lot of living dead. They don't feel pain and are impossible to kill. Moreover, once bitten by them, the victim will lose their mind in a short time. They bite anyone they see. Your Highness would like to ask if you know what kind of poison this is and if there is a cure?"
"Corpse soldiers?" Tang Wenle had met Gu Lingyue not long ago and had fought with those corpse soldiers. He knew how powerful they were and said in shock.
Gu Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Long Shang was fine, but she frowned when she heard that there were indeed zombie soldiers at the border and Yun Hao was bitten.
She was able to deal with the zombies in the secret passage because the passage was narrow and fire attack was effective. But if it was in an open area, the zombies would be scattered and fire attack would not be an ideal solution. In addition, she had not yet developed a medicine to cure the zombie poison, so this was a bit tricky.
