After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won't Leave Me Alone

Chapter 475

"Yuxi... such an important thing, how could I know..."

The queen took a step back, her eyes wary.

The prince still turned his face away from her, and stated the facts indifferently: "You probably don't know that the emperor father trusts most is not Feng Lisheng, nor you group of ministers, nor the lonely prince, but you, the queen mother!"

It's not that Jing and Di love the queen more, but because of the queen's character. Just like now, although the queen loves his son and knows that he has made a mistake, she will only persuade him to rein in the precipice, but will never use her status to cover up he. Too honest and magnanimous!

However, her shortcomings are also obvious. She has not experienced the dangers of the world, and she is too soft-hearted.

The prince picked up the long sword again: "Mother, you should think about it. If you don't tell me, then I will kill everyone in this palace. Now the capital has been controlled by Gu. The captain of the city gate, the commander of the five cities, the palace Central Imperial Army, oh, with Fan Jingzhong as the deputy commander, the camp in the western suburbs is almost the same. Even if there is no edict to pass the throne, Gu can still ascend the throne, except for his poor reputation."

Although he was smiling when he said this, his eyes were bloodthirsty and fierce, making people instinctively feel that he was not joking.

And many officials in the palace were also shocked by the sword that the prince stabbed the Yushi of Chu just now. Seeing the expression of the prince, they all knelt down on their knees.

The queen took a breath, and seemed to have no choice but to compromise: "Let's do this! The imperial edict must be drafted by several important ministers in the court. You should have someone write this edict first. Violence and intimidation are not allowed, only let them voluntarily." .Otherwise, Bengong will not tell where the jade seal is hidden even if he dies?"

The crown prince finally turned his head and glanced at her, but quickly withdrew his gaze, and pointedly said: "Mother, you have said so much, are you delaying time to wait for reinforcements?"

The empress paused for a moment, lowered her eyes and said nothing. The prince sat back on the chair in the middle, took the blank edict in the hand of the little eunuch, raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly:

"Is it in the heart of the queen mother that all the officials in the palace are role models of loyal ministers who would rather die than surrender! Heh! Then today, the minister will let the queen mother see the danger of this heart."

He glanced at the faces of the first few officials, and immediately three important ministers came out, and the three presented some of the contents that had been drafted in advance.

The crown prince took it casually, waved his hand and summoned the scribes who were looking for specially, and imitated Jing and Emperor's handwriting to transcribe.

This is his most hidden hole card, and he didn't want to use it until the last moment, but now, the inside and outside of the palace are basically under his control, and the only legal successor besides him, Feng Shuo, will soon die. He doesn't have to worry anymore.

Prime Minister Xu stared in shock at his colleagues who had worked together for many years.

"Xueshi Zhu, Shangshu Jiang, and Taishi Yu, you..."

The three turned their faces away, and Yu Taishi snorted coldly: "The prince is the son of the middle palace and the only son of His Majesty. I really don't know why you hesitate. Do you really want that yellow-mouthed boy to take the throne?"

Prime Minister Xu paused for a long time, then suddenly came to his senses, and said in a trembling voice: "The mercenaries of the feudal lords are also your fault, and General Lu, he..."

The prince took a sip of tea comfortably: "That's right! The uncles all have their own little ideas, but they just don't have the guts to do so. As a lonely nephew, I had to help push it, but those individuals are really not good, presumably General Lu will solve it soon!"

The queen gritted her teeth and asked, "What did you do to General Lu?"

The prince smiled casually: "If there is no accident, the six members of the Lu family, father and son, should all be poisoned now!"

"You..." The blue veins of Chu Yushi who had just been bandaged and wounded were bulging: "The Lu family has been in the military for several generations, General Lu has been a soldier for half his life, two sons died in battle, and the Lu family is full of heroes. ..."

The prince didn't care much: "If you want to blame it, blame them for raising a good daughter."

The clerk began to copy, and a blank rice paper was handed to Prime Minister Xu: "Master Xu, I'm missing you."

Prime Minister Xu turned his eyes coldly: "You guys are plotting against me, even if I die, I won't write it!"

The prince's eyes sharpened: "Then you go to die!"

After the voice fell, the long sword was drawn out of its sheath again, and it stabbed directly at Prime Minister Xu's heart.

But at this moment, a figure flashed in front of her eyes, the queen broke away from her potential, rushed over regardless, and grabbed the tip of the sword swung by the prince.

The accident happened too quickly, the prince was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but the sword had already been swung. The point of the sword pierced straight into one of the Queen's shoulders, and the glaring blood soaked the clothes instantly.

The prince hurriedly supported the man, and shouted anxiously: "Where is the imperial physician? Go to the imperial physician quickly..."

The queen grabbed his wrist with one hand, held the tip of the sword against her throat with the other, her face was pale from sudden blood loss, she looked at him with a trembling but firm voice:

"I remember listening to my younger siblings talking about it, saying that even parents can't just kidnap their children with family affection... But the mother has no choice but to use mother-child affection to kidnap you once,

Qi Yu, stop! Go and confess your mistake to your father and leave the capital from now on, this is my last chance as a mother to fight for you, otherwise..."

She pressed the tip of her sword towards the stem of her neck, obviously wanting to kill her.

The prince went to break her wrist holding the sword, and growled uncontrollably: "Don't do this, I..."

Looking at the firmness in her gentle eyebrows, the queen is naturally soft-tempered and has no ability to plan strategies. She can only use this stupid method to try to bring her disobedient son back to the right path.

The prince hesitated for a moment. If he had to do it all over again, maybe... he shouldn't take this path. What will the ending be like?

Maybe he will be kicked out of the royal family and live a mediocre life, or he will quietly kill his biological mother Qingyao, hide this secret forever, and become an idle prince under the halo of his brother.

But we have reached this point, and there is no turning back.

He looked at the tears dripping from the corners of his mother's eyes, and at the same time he felt bitter, another thought popped up crazily.

You cannot have both fish and bear's paw, since he chose to embark on this path, it is impossible to have family affection at the same time.

Since you can’t own it, you should cut it off, right?

It was just like when he abandoned the love when he was a teenager from the bottom of his heart. In this way...you don't have to try this bitterness again. I no longer have to face my mother's painful eyes.

Since this is his weakness, it should be discarded in due course. He seemed to have convinced himself from the bottom of his heart. He grasped the hilt of the sword in a strange way.

As long as the long sword moves forward, the woman who raised him will be killed immediately.

The empress was so emotional that she wanted to die, everyone present would only think that she was not suicidal.

Look, some people are naturally cool, and they are still calculating at this time!

It only took a moment for him to move his thoughts. When he raised his eyes again, his brows had returned to calm, his head was slightly raised, and his palms were slightly exerted.

However, at this moment, the heavy palace door was suddenly knocked open, the prince felt his arm go numb, and then a bright yellow figure rushed towards him.

Behind them are two teams of black-armored guards. They are the emperor's exclusive dark guards. Even the prince does not know the exact number of them. Beside these people, stood a middle-aged woman in a blue-gray Taoist robe. The woman's face was serious and cold, and she was clearly dressed in plain clothes, but she had the demeanor of an outsider.

She is the leader of the Red Lotus Sect and Cui Lingling's master.

The queen only felt her body lighten. She was carefully carried by someone, smelling the familiar ambergris in her breath, she didn't seem to be surprised.

However, all the ministers and servants in the Hall of Qinzheng, including the prince, were stunned for a moment.

Looking at Jing and Emperor who suddenly appeared intact and intact, the prince's first thought was that Feng Lisheng asked someone to disguise himself as another.

However, what followed was a solid slap from the person opposite.

This slap was so hard that one side of the prince's face was swollen, his ears were buzzing, and he finally stopped deceiving himself. This is the real Jing and Emperor!

And he... thinks he has a chance to win, but it is probably just a joke!

Jing and Di bowed their heads, quickly tapped several large acupuncture points on the Queen's body, and then took out a handkerchief and pressed it on the wound. The woman in Taoist robe stepped forward, took out the powder and bandaged it neatly.

Seeing the queen's unsurprised expression, the prince seemed to understand something in the blink of an eye?

Since he came to Fengming Palace tonight, the queen mother told him twice to stop, and the last time he even forced him to die. He thought that the queen mother could not accept these things he did in secret.

It turned out that... the queen mother has been giving him a chance, and has been trying to save him.

The queen turned her face away sadly. At first, he really thought that His Majesty had really been poisoned and passed out.

Until the moment she learned that the prince had escaped from Dali Temple, she seemed to realize it in a flash.

In the late period of the first emperor, how fiercely the kings competed for the heir apparent. Every one of them was a match for the crown prince. The world only thought that Jing and the emperor could finally ascend to the throne of God because of luck, because the outstanding princes were all fighting each other. No, so it was his turn.

Only a few people know that Jing and Di have never relied on luck,

How could he be forced into such a situation by the crown prince?

But considering the overall situation, she couldn't stop all of this. She could only pretend not to know and cooperate silently.

The only thing she could do was try her best to persuade the prince to stop, but she couldn't do it after all...

The crown prince looked at the empress, but resentment rose uncontrollably in his heart. Since the empress mother already knew that all this was just a game set up by the emperor, why didn't she tell him in advance?

Jing and Empress Difu sat down on the chairs and sneered: "What? It's this time and you still resent your mother for not reporting you secretly?"

Now that this step has been reached, the prince has nothing to pretend: "Now the capital is controlled by the ministers inside and outside the capital, so what can you do even if you wake up, father?"

Jing and Di found a place to sit down, poured themselves a cup of tea, and raised their eyebrows indifferently: "Are you telling me something?"

Facing Father Huang’s eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the prince’s heart sank, but he forced his expression to smile and said:

"No matter what you say, Father, I'm just stating the facts. The commanders of the Imperial Army and Wucheng Bingma Division have already belonged to me. Even if they know that you are fine now, but they have already taken this step, they just want to You will make mistakes."

Jing and Di smiled with a good temper: "Really?"

The voice fell, and the shouts of killing outside the door came from far to near, and the commander of the forbidden army rushed in in a panic:

"His Royal Highness, it's not good. There are a lot of people at the gate of the palace. It's... It seems to be the Southwest Army... Our people can't hold it anymore!"

Southwest Army! The prince subconsciously thought of Feng Lisheng.

However, not long after, I saw Gu Zhao, the Marquis of Ningyuan in armor, walking in. He waved his hand casually, and the commander of the imperial army was immediately gagged and dragged out.

Gu Zhao bowed and knelt down to report the situation outside to Jing and Emperor.

It turns out that this is not the Southwest Army, but a royal army hidden among the people during the Great Xia Taizu period. These people have different identities on the surface and are closely connected with the Huitong Bank. They will only be activated during special periods related to the safety of the royal family. .

The prince always thought that this was just a legend,

He stared at Gu Zhao, only to blame himself for being too careless.

Gu Zhao is a maverick existence in the court. He is a lone minister. As the name suggests, he hardly interacts with officials in the court and is only loyal to the Holy One. He was promoted by Jing and Emperor at the end of Wei Dynasty, and has been guarding the southwest frontier since then, not coming back once in two or three years, and it is said that his ability is mediocre, and his sense of presence in the court is very weak.

But for such a person, it is easiest to do one thing quietly.

The prince seemed to give up struggling, and asked with a wry smile: "I remember that Gu Houye left Beijing in the first month, and it has been nearly four months now. Did the emperor start to doubt my son so early? Then you Why don't you just kill the son-in-law?"

Jing and Di didn't look at him, but straightened up, withdrew their habitual simple and honest expressions, and coldly glanced at the ministers under their eyes, and their deep and powerful voices echoed in the hall:

"If you don't do this, how can you tell whether you are a man or a ghost under your respectful skin? Throughout history, every dynasty cannot escape the fate of prosperity and decline.

Why, because the days are better, and this person has more thoughts? Too much thought leads to greed, like a potted flower, when a few roots rot, you have to pull them out, otherwise the whole pot will rot.

The same goes for the officialdom of the imperial court. It has been more than a hundred years since the establishment of the dynasty. The officialdom of the imperial court seems to be harmonious. In private, the relationship network of each family may have become a mess. It is time for a big exchange of blood to repair it. up.

It happened to use the hands of the prince to blow up some ghosts and monsters. "

After saying this, there was a deathly silence in the air, especially those ministers who had other ideas, they were so frightened that they could hardly stand still. But Xu Cheng and other loyal ministers were full of excitement, thinking how lucky they were, the emperor who assisted him was so restrained and sensible,

Jing and Emperor withdrew their gazes, and waved their hands lightly: "My dear friends, please move to the front hall of the court for a while. After talking about state affairs, it's time to deal with family affairs."

All the ministers were silently led away from the Qinzheng Hall by the soldiers. Although the royal family's family affairs were regarded as state affairs, no one had the guts to speak out at this juncture.

Waiting for the people who should go to leave, Jing and Di patted the Queen's shoulder: "You are injured, go back and rest first, and I will go to see you when I am done."

The queen shook her head. He said softly: "The concubine is his mother, these things cannot be supported by you alone as a father."

Seeing the sad and almost desperate expression in her eyes, Jing and Di opened their mouths, but finally said nothing.

After turning around, he looked at the prince, his eyes were complicated, and his voice was almost gnashing his teeth: "You ask me when I started to suspect you, it's too early, let's take the Luodu Silver Mine corruption case last year! Those two witnesses Qi You The Jiangyang thief who was killed, and later Xiaoliu secretly tracked down the whereabouts of those two people. I asked the people from the Red Lotus Sect to search at will, and they really found something.

The Red Lotus Sect has a network of connections all over the Great Xia. In the past two or three years, it seems that there is a force that is using various means to amass money.

At that time, you were full of Su Qing, and I didn't think about you at first. Later, Princess Su was born, and the prime minister Su Huai was involved. Su Huai's corruption for many years was exposed, and the eight million taels of silver that he embezzled disappeared. Su Qing begged for mercy. Although I had doubts, I still don't want to doubt you.

Until a fire broke out in the Punishment Division, Su Qing disappeared inexplicably. It was all too coincidental. I found out Ye Chen, the son of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, Ye Chen. . "

Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth angrily, who was excellent at nourishing qi:

"There is a gambling house called Fa Caiju in the west of the city. This gambling house has almost no bottom line in order to make money, and the owner is a beast who loves to torture girls. Such a gambling house is secretly using your prince's power to do evil.

And all the money you earned went into your pocket. "
