fake prince

Chapter 877

The eunuch kowtowed to the queen, and said: "Your Majesty, the slaves have to continue to do their errands. In the previous dynasty, they were given death instead of death. According to the rules, they have to fill in the autopsy."

The queen couldn't see the expression, just nodded, and went in. When she got inside, she heard a "poof", and a drop of blood fell on the ground.

This is the fingernail piercing into your own flesh.

"Prince, even if mother is desperate, she will not let your son take over as king and end up like this."

Outside, an eunuch came over, touched his breath, took out a silver needle, stabbed her foot, and turned around to report: "Concubine Wei is sick."

"Since the illness is gone, follow the rules and restrain yourself quickly. If you move out early, you will move to the original palace. Don't offend the empress. When the rain stops, notify the Ministry of Rites."

As the chief eunuch spoke, he sighed in his heart, since he chose a day to be buried as a concubine, although he knew that it was relatively hasty, but at least he still maintained the last position.

Prince Lu's Mansion

With the sound of rain, Ma Shunde galloped with several galloping horses and arrived at the gate.

"Eunuch Ma!" A hundred households guarding Lu Wang's mansion were talking with several teams. When they saw Ma Shunde coming, they immediately came out and saluted respectfully.

"You came in such a hurry, but what is your purpose?"

Ma Shunde got off his horse, threw the horse's reins to a guard, and while looking in, he took out a token and shook it, saying: "Of course there is a purpose, you guys, immediately lead people to surround the entire Prince Lu's mansion." Get up, let none of them go out! Today is going to be an end!"

In Ma Shunde's arms was the imperial decree that came to be read out. After today passed, the situation in the capital would change again.

When Baihu and several teams heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. Although Ma Shunde's words were not said explicitly, they were still a reminder.

Could it be that King Lu's family will be confessed to the mansion today, just like the prince ten years ago?
Oh my god, this is a big deal!
In fact, no one wants to do this kind of thing of beheading members of the royal family. Who knows if the case will be overturned in a few years, and will the emperor regret it?

The emperor regretted it, and only angered the "knife" who killed the people at that time. A few years after the death of the prince, didn't the hundreds of households who killed the emperor's grandson all die inexplicably?

It's good to die from illness and keep your dignity, but it's empty-handed to deal with the guilty, and you get nothing.

But at this time, no matter how anxious he was, he was doing this job, and he couldn't resist his responsibilities. Bai Hu swallowed, and replied: "I obey my orders."

Ma Shunde's face was also heavy. Fortunately, he didn't kill King Lu. Even so, he would have a deep hatred with King Lu, but there was nothing he could do.

"Why don't you give this errand to Mr. Zhao?" Ma Shunde strode in, unimpeded all the way, and soon arrived at King Lu.

As a prince, even though he always acted in a low-key manner, he had everything he should have. The palace was huge, and the main courtyard was even more magnificent. In this courtyard alone, hundreds of people could stand there without being too crowded.

The small square in front of the yard can accommodate more people.

"Call all the wives, concubines, servants and servants of the sixth master's mansion here, our family has something to say!" Ma Shunde said in a sharp voice as he showed the token that could call up the armored soldiers.

"My lord!" Zhao Zhu, the servant, heard this, turned back hurriedly, entered the room, told the situation outside to King Lu who was sitting silently on the couch, and asked, "What should we do now?"

"Help me out." King Lu gritted his teeth and got up from the couch, but his legs were a little weak. At such a time, his whole body was shaking.

He slapped his thigh hard, hating himself for being weak, but it wasn't until this moment, the despair of "it's finally my turn", that he finally felt powerless and understood what imperial power was.

Originally, I thought that I was the King of Lu. I had been planning for many years, and I laughed at seeing my two older brothers biting dogs. Aware of his small movements, there is nothing he can do about it.

Unexpectedly, facing his father now, he is still so powerless, not to mention other things, even trembling in the face of the possible results, can such a weak self really do it?

"Father and son, alas, is this the imperial power?"

"Who knows what you mean, you can be proud of the prince with a smile."

"The last time I read this word, I thought it was good, but now I realize that it is just hypocrisy."

He was helped to walk out of the house, the rain outside had lightened a bit, but it was still falling. Among the people who were summoned, there were wives and concubines, servants of the housekeeper of the palace, almost all of them were present, and all of them looked panic-stricken, standing in the rain , the clothes are soaked and dare not say anything, it is really embarrassing.

King Lu stood on the steps. Such a scene made it hard for him not to think about what happened more than ten years ago.

"Is it the same for the prince back then? Could it be that I have the same fate?"

"Could it be that all the people in my house will be killed? What awaits me is the imperial decree of death?"

"Sixth Master, you still don't obey the order!" Ma Shunde stood up with his face expressionless, glanced at King Lu, and urged in a shrill voice.

"Your servants respectfully welcome Sheng Yu." With the support of Zhao Zhu, King Lu walked down tremblingly, and knelt down with all the people in the palace.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor said: The punishment of the country is three thousand, and the crime is no greater than unfilial piety. The common people are ignorant, and the perpetrators are rare. Kuang Erlu King is my son. It is appropriate to lead the discipline and enlighten the Quartet."

"The mother and concubine are sick, but they forget to visit, and they drink too much. It can be said that they are wanton and despicable, and they reach my ears."

"Although I am my son, if you want to borrow the law, how can you teach the world? It is better to move to the rank of the left, and to lead the king of Ninghe, so as to avoid his faults. I admire this!"

Ma Shunde took out a volume of imperial decree, unfolded it and stood on the steps to recite it aloud. The imperial decree was very short, and it was not the death-killing family that King Lu thought.

Although King Ninghe has been demoted by one level, it is much better than what he had expected before, and it can be regarded as a very good result.

King Lu's heart relaxed, and he collapsed directly on the ground. The ground was covered with rain, and he didn't mind. He just felt that the stone that was pressing on his heart was finally moved away.

That's great, I can still live, but I'm just reduced to the county king!
Not only King Lu breathed a sigh of relief, but also all the wives and concubines kneeling behind him.

King Lu could think of the massacre of the prince's family more than ten years ago, could it be that they couldn't think of it?

They also thought about it, and they were still terrified. Now they know that the prince has been demoted from the prince to the county king, and he is still the prince. At most, the rank is lower. This is a very good result. At least they can save their lives. It is even better to be able to live a life of glory and wealth without dying or suffering.

Concubine Lu... No, now it should be Concubine Ninghe. Seeing her husband paralyzed there, while the eunuch who announced the decree was still waiting, she quickly pushed her husband: "My lord!"

Only now did King Ninghe wake up, yes, he must accept the order!

The newly-baked King Ninghe hurriedly got up, asked his servant to clean his hands quickly with a handkerchief, and then stepped forward to receive the order.

"My son accepts the order!"

"King Ninghe, please take this imperial decree." Ma Shunde glanced at him and said implyingly.
