The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 236 Wrong Direction
Sitting in the seat, the emperor stared coldly at Concubine Duan's eyes.

There was a dead silence in the hall, even if there was deep affection, even if there was the emperor's favor, but Concubine Duan knew that it was not so easy to fool her.

At this moment, Concubine Duan suppressed her restlessness and looked at the emperor quietly.

Being able to do this step shows how strong Concubine Duan's psychological quality is.

A woman like her can be said to be comparable to Empress Lu Wuhuang.

Although her expression was calm and calm, Concubine Duan's mind was spinning fast, and she had to find a way to get through this test safely.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines still say the same thing. If killing the ministers and concubines can appease the wrath of the subjects in the world, the ministers and concubines are willing to share the worries for the emperor!"

Speaking of this, Concubine Duan walked aside on her own, picked up some small clothes from the small table on the soft couch, and wiped away her tears on her own.

Those clothes, Zhao Yongcheng recognized at a glance, were worn by the fourth and ninth children when they were young, and he personally ordered the scarf and hat bureau and the sewing bureau to make them.

"The death of the fourth child is unclear, and the life and death of the ninth child is also unknown. The two sons are lost in their forties, and the concubine has nothing to remember for the rest of his life. Instead, he will suffer if he lives!"

After saying this, Concubine Duan turned directly to face the emperor and knelt down and said, "I only have one request. After my concubine dies, I don't ask for a generous burial. I just ask the emperor to grant three feet of land in the western suburbs. Clothes and concubines are buried together..."

"In this way, the concubine will be reunited with her son underground!"

Concubine Duan was crying like pear blossoms and rain. At this moment, she was not acting, but genuinely sad.

In fact, if the emperor really asked her to die, she could actually accept it, because she really felt that living was meaningless.

But on the other hand, she felt that she couldn't die yet, at least she had to wait until the queen fell and the prince's family died before she could die.

It has to be said that Concubine Duan's performance in front of her also reminded Zhao Yongcheng of many past events, especially the aggrieved years.

At the beginning, the fourth son, Zhao Yanting, was his most promising son. Just when he was ready to tear up his face with the officials and forcibly abolish the elder and make the fourth son the prince, Zhao Yanting accidentally fell into the water and died.

Just at this time, officials in the south caused a large-scale rebellion by forcing the people to rebel. Zhao Yongcheng had to stop his flag and drums in order to seek stability, and the investigation of Zhao Yanting's death was also hastily done.

Although so many years have passed, it is still a great shame in Zhao Yongcheng's heart.

He is the supreme emperor, but reality gave him a resounding slap in the face when he tried to abolish the crown prince, telling him that the power of civil servants was out of control.

After the rebellion was quelled, Zhao Yongcheng's main energy was to fight against the civil servants.

The continuation of this incident is the dispute between the crown princes, and he pushed out the ninth son Zhao Yanxun.

It's a pity that at the last moment, the barbarians invaded, forcing Zhao Yongcheng to give in again.

The two sons are gone, there is really no need for Concubine Duan to make trouble, so who is going to kill the prince?

Who will benefit?Zhao Yongcheng thought hard.

At this moment, Concubine Duan kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine has nothing to worry about, please give me poisonous wine!"

At this moment, the frost on Zhao Yongcheng's face gradually dissipated, but he still didn't say a word.

He didn't speak, and Concubine Duan didn't speak either, but sobbed softly.

After a long time, Zhao Yongcheng got up from the chair, went to Concubine Duan and helped her up.

"My concubine, I have difficulties!" Zhao Yongcheng said slowly.

Wiping away the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, Concubine Duan choked up and said, "This concubine knows, so this concubine is willing to die!"

At this moment, even Zhao Yongcheng's eyes were a little red, and his voice trembled: "Don't mention it anymore, I can't hear this word!"

From Zhao Yongcheng's point of view, his fate is actually miserable.

Continuous bereavement of children, domineering civil officials, rebellion in various places, unstable borders, and now zombies are falling from the sky, trying to destroy the country passed down by the ancestors.

Who would have thought that at this time, only Concubine Duan said: "If I hadn't missed the emperor, my concubine would have hung up her white silk long ago!"

"My concubine must not have the intention of committing suicide, I forbid you to do so!" Zhao Yongcheng said with a gloomy face.

If Concubine Duan also leaves him, then he will really be alone.

Concubine Duan immediately said: "Your Majesty, I beg you... to send someone to Longyou to find Xun'er back!"

Obviously being accused, Concubine Duan not only made the crisis invisible, but also seized the right time to "kidnap" the emperor to do things.

"I will arrange this matter, don't worry!" Zhao Yongcheng sighed.

In the direction of Longyou, he had already sent a dozen groups of people, but there was no news from them all, so that he gave up hope.

Supporting Concubine Duan to sit down, Zhao Yongcheng said: "Concubine Concubine Concubine Duan is resting, I will go back first if I have something to do!"

There are a lot of things going on right now, especially about the prince, which is enough to make Zhao Yongcheng feel overwhelmed, so he has no intention of resting.

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Concubine Duan got up immediately and said, "I send my concubine off to the emperor!"

Under Concubine Duan's insistence, Zhao Yongcheng could only let her see him off.

Standing outside the palace gate, watching the emperor go away, Concubine Duan's gaze turned to the left and right, where dozens of palace people were kneeling, including Yuzhu.

The maids and eunuchs in the Xianfu Palace were cleared out before the emperor arrived, so they didn't know what happened in the palace.

"Get up, do what you need to do!"

After finishing the order, Concubine Duan turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then got up one after another, but no one talked nonsense. After a long time in the palace, they knew what they shouldn't ask. Don't ask.

Walking into the Buddhist hall alone, Concubine Duan staggered and almost fell to the ground. At this moment, the string in her heart was loosened.

Supporting the seat, Concubine Duan sat down slowly, her chest heaving unsteadily, she has passed this test today.

Besides, Zhao Yongcheng, when he returned to Qian'an Palace, the chief eunuch was already waiting.

Entering the hall, Zhao Yongcheng didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and asked directly: "Whatever was found, tell me everything!"

"Reporting to the emperor, the slaves have sent people to investigate this matter, and it is preliminarily concluded that His Highness the Crown Prince is sick due to weakness and taking strong medicine!"

"The few women who served last night were bought back from the brothel by the prince's servants. They are all young men who have been trained in the brothel since childhood. There is nothing suspicious for now!"

"And the elixir taken by the crown prince was offered by a Taoist priest from the East Palace. There are five Taoist priests in the East Palace!"

"The crown prince has an accident, these five people have committed suicide in fear of crime, and the slaves have sent people to strictly investigate their heels!"

"Last night, all the eunuchs and maids on duty in the prince's bedroom have been imprisoned and are currently being tortured...nothing has been discovered yet!"

After talking a lot, but there was nothing useful, Zhao Yongcheng's anger came up.

"Trash, I haven't found anything until now, why don't you hurry up and get out on errands!"

After drinking the servant girl away, Zhao Yongcheng leaned on the throne.

At this moment, he was thinking about a question, who would benefit the most from the death of the prince!
The crown prince is dead, and the long-term cultivated prince is gone. Could it be... those ministers?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yongcheng suddenly realized that it was not possible but extremely possible, after all, these civil servants were not generally courageous.

The prince is dead, and the only ones in the capital who are qualified to succeed to the throne are a few young princes, wouldn't they be more easily bewitched and controlled.

The more I think about it, the more reasonable I feel, and the more I think about it, the more angry I feel, Zhao Yongcheng has murderous thoughts at this moment.

Following this matter, it is not impossible to clean up a group of people.
