Chapter 183 Entering the Palace
When Lao Zhou first ascended the throne as emperor, he was also extremely dangerous. His brothers wanted to put him to death, so from that time he understood that in the face of absolute imperial power, the royal family has no family affection.

From the very beginning, Lao Zhou knew that the third prince would not survive to the end in safety. It was not because Zhou Ximing couldn't tolerate him anymore, but because he did it himself, making the world unable to tolerate him.

After calming down and finishing the meal, the imperial decree from the palace was rushed over, asking Zhou Ximing and Bai Susu to enter the palace as soon as possible.

Lao Zhou stood aside and watched with a smile, hugged Bai Jingshan who was standing there, and looked at the two people standing there, "I'm watching the two little guys at home, you just go."

During this period of time, Lao Zhou couldn't be more aware of the means of those people in the palace.If they entered the palace with their front feet, someone would dare to take Bai Jingyun and Bai Jingshan away as hostages.

But no matter how noisy these people are, as long as Lao Zhou is around, no one can take these two people away under his nose.

Hearing Lao Zhou's words, the worries in Bai Susu's heart dissipated a lot, her brows were loosened, and her expression relaxed.Looking sideways at Zhou Ximing who was standing aside, he grabbed his wrist, "It happens that I ate a lot today, so I can go out for a walk."

Sensing Bai Susu's relaxation, Zhou Ximing eased his brows and eyes, and instead held the hand she handed over, he pulled her away from the palace.

Because of the news of the death of the third prince, the emperor was very angry.The third prince's body had already been secretly sent over from Tang City, but it would take some time, and the coffins visited in the palace are just clothes tombs.

When Bai Susu and Zhou Ximing arrived at the second gate of the palace, they got out of the carriage and saw that many things in the palace, which was originally full of flowers, were replaced with white.

The eunuch who came to greet them also wore a white flower on his head. Seeing the two of them coming, he immediately walked over to greet them with a smile and asked them to go inside.

The eunuch did not take them to the Ganquan Palace where the emperor lived, but took them in the direction of the harem.Although there are many concubines in the harem, few have the right to speak, and Concubine Heng is one of them.

This huge harem seemed to be dressed in white by her to pay homage to her dead son.The other concubines didn't say anything, and changed into plain clothes.

When Bai Susu arrived at the place where Concubine Heng lived, she saw a white silk hanging above it, blowing in the wind.

"Prince, the princess is here!"

A sharp voice came to mind, and the crying and crying voices in the room gradually disappeared, and they all consciously gave way.

Bai Susu followed Zhou Ximing into the room, and saw a coffin placed in the center of the room, and beside it was a memorial tablet for the third prince.

When Concubine Heng saw Zhou Ximing and Bai Susu approaching, a strong hatred flashed in her eyes, and then she tried her best to hide it, and began to sit on the ground and cry.

She looked at Zhou Ximing with tears in her eyes, with a look of despair in her eyes, and said in a miserable voice, accusing Zhou Ximing, "I know that you two brothers have a bad relationship, but what is there that you can't talk about? To such an extent."

As she spoke, she wiped away the tears from her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand, looking very sad.

Hearing her words, Bai Susu's eyes turned cold.Concubine Heng's short sentence just now told others explicitly and secretly that the third prince was killed by Zhou Ximing!

Bai Susu walked over and helped Concubine Heng up, her voice was also gentle, "The third brother made a mistake and went to Tangcheng to forgive his sin. Who would have thought that he would offend so many people and kill him."

Bai Susu first pointed out that the third prince made a mistake to go to Tangcheng, and then said that the third prince offended someone himself, and took Zhou Ximing out of this matter.

Zhou Ximing looked at his wife who had the right to defend him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.He held Bai Susu's wrist, pulled her up, held her in his arms, frowned and sighed, "I heard that the third prince has done many wrong things, and I wanted him to make amends, who would have thought..."

Isn't it just acting? Zhou Ximing has been fascinated by it since he was a child, so these are naturally easy to grasp.

The other concubines tried their best to reduce their sense of existence, not to join such a game of talking with knives every sentence.Concubine Heng snorted coldly in her heart, crying even more miserably on her face.

"My son, who killed you?" Concubine Heng hugged the coffin, crying very sadly, "If you let me know who killed a thousand swords, I will definitely not spare him!"

After the previous one, Bai Susu always felt that what she said meant something.A pair of eyes narrowed, it seems that Concubine Heng came prepared today.

"Who did it is up to the people of Dali Temple to decide, what are you messing around here!" A clear and majestic voice sounded outside the door, making everyone look outside the door unconsciously.

I saw the queen walking in wearing a plain robe, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, looking at Concubine Heng who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, and reprimanded in her tone, "When something happens, I get confused, no Why do you believe in things that have no beginning or end?"

Although there are rumors in the palace, it is said that Zhou Ximing designed the third prince to go to Tang City, and designed him to die there.But there is no proof, no evidence, it's all just speculation.

Seeing the queen approaching, Concubine Heng flinched instinctively.She stood up, supported the coffin on the side, and tears gradually piled up in her eyes, "Now I am a white-haired man giving a black-haired man, and the queen is not pitiful, and she said I was biting at random, I was just thinking about it!"

The queen snorted softly, looked at Concubine Heng with a smile that was not a smile, and walked up to her step by step, her voice was cold, "I heard everything you said just now, I can't be a fool ?”

The queen never disdains such insidious tricks, she has always been aboveboard, in everything she says and does.Anyone who is not stupid can understand the meaning of what Concubine Heng said just now, but no one pointed it out just now.

Concubine Heng was taken aback by the Queen's words, she stood there in a daze, tears still rolling in her eyes, as if she had been bullied.

She picked up the veil, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked heartbreakingly: "Is there no doubt about this matter?"

This time, Concubine Heng directly named her.Now that the third prince is gone, she has no backer.If Zhou Ximing takes the throne later, her life will not be easy.

Therefore, taking advantage of the death of the third prince, she is bound to pull Zhou Ximing off the horse and trample their mother and son under her feet!
She could do it before, and she can do it now!Concubine Heng looked at the queen, the abacus in her heart was clattering.
