Unparalleled Concubine

Chen Ju shook his head and said, "I don't know."

……

At the same time, there was a great chaos in the palace, many eunuchs and maids fled in all directions, and the prisons in the palace were left unattended, and some palace people who were imprisoned for crimes took the opportunity to escape.

And in the harem, a panicked fat man was also squeezed into the crowd. The world was so big that he didn't know where to go.

Just when he was desperate, he saw a thin middle-aged man.

The man asked him, "His Royal Highness, is someone going to kill you?"

The prince nodded repeatedly.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly.

"I can save His Highness."

Chapter 319 The Will of the Son of Heaven

His Royal Highness King Wei put his hands in his sleeves, he took a deep breath, and then said slowly to Chen Ju: "Grand Duke, this king respects you very much, but at this time you should not cover up Eldest Brother, otherwise the palace will Dead people, many, many people will die."

From His Highness King Wei's point of view, even if no one in the palace dies, His Highness the Crown Prince must die, because if the Crown Prince does not die, his status will be wronged!

No matter how far the prince goes, he must die.

Chen Ju bowed respectfully, lowered his head, and said, "Of course this old slave knows about this, but there is one thing that His Highness may be able to appease the anger in his heart."

His Royal Highness King Wei looked indifferent.

Chen Ju turned around on his own, entered the inner hall of Changle Palace, took out a box made of sandalwood in his hand, and then bowed to His Royal Highness Wei Wang: "Your Highness, this is the will of Emperor Daxing before his death. At that time, His Majesty ordered that it should be opened after his great trip."

His Royal Highness Wei was expressionless.

As he said that, he looked up at King Wei, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, this box is very important to whether you can secure the throne."

King Wei said indifferently: "Open it."

"This old slave can't open it alone."

Chen Ju pointed to the brass lock on the box and said, "This lock requires two keys to open, and the other one is in Zhang Xiang's hands. Duke Haoran is also in Changle Palace now. Please invite him to come here, Your Highness."

Originally several prime ministers and civil and military officials were kneeling outside the Changle Palace. When the Habayashi guards came in, they hid in the Changle Palace.

King Wei took a deep breath and suppressed the impatience in his heart.

"Grandpa, the forbidden army is about to enter the city. I don't have the time to open any boxes with you here. If you don't tell me where the elder brother has gone, I will kill you!"

Chen Ju bent over and said: "Open this box, Your Highness will no longer be afraid of the Imperial Army."

His Royal Highness King Wei looked at the old eunuch with a puzzled face.

He suspected that the old eunuch was delaying his troops to delay the time, waiting for the forbidden army to enter the palace.

Li Xin, who was behind King Wei, bowed and said, "Your Highness, shall I take someone to look for the crown prince?"

"Well, you go."

His Royal Highness King Wei took a deep breath, and said: "Brother Xin, remember, kill him immediately when you find it!"

"Yes."

The eunuch Chen Ju sighed quietly and said nothing more.

So far, there is no room for him to speak.

"Your Highness, please summon Duke Haoran to come over and open the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing."

King Wei waved his hand in doubt.

"Please come here, Mr. Zhang."

A moment later, Zhang Qu, who was in a bit of a panic, was pulled down in front of His Royal Highness Wei Wang by a Yulin army. This Mr. Haoran's hair was a little messy at this time. He straightened his clothes before looking up at Wei Wang, and then took a deep breath. With a sigh, he sighed: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang is so generous."

The Seventh Prince lowered his head slightly: "Mr. Zhang smiled."

Holding the box in his hands, Chen Ju said to Zhang Qu, "Mr. Haoran, do you still remember this box?"

Zhang Qu nodded: "I remember."

Chen Ju said slowly: "That day, Xiang Zhang saw the old servant put the edict into the box and locked it up. His Majesty was there at the time. Xiang Zhang should be able to prove the edict is true."

Duke Haoran took out a purse from his sleeve, and then took out a key from the purse, bowed his head to His Royal Highness Wei Wang and said, "I can prove it."

Chen Ju nodded.

"Very well, we will follow His Majesty's will and open this box."

His Royal Highness King Wei frowned slightly.

He has grasped the overall situation now, but if this will is against him, he will be in a dilemma.

Chen Ju seemed to see through his thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, although this old slave doesn't know the content of the will, but I can be sure that it will be absolutely harmless to Your Highness."

King Wei nodded indifferently.

"open it."

The two keys were inserted into the lock hole at the same time, and with a crisp mechanical lock, the big copper lock was opened.

Chen Ju took off the copper lock tremblingly, and then opened the box with trembling hands.

Inside the box was a roll of apricot-yellow imperial decree made of white jade.

The eunuch, Chen Ju, touched the imperial edict for the last time, and when he was about to open it and read it out, His Royal Highness King Wei stretched out his hand to hold the imperial edict.

"Grandpa, please forgive me. This king has to read it first, and Grandpa will read it later."

Chen Ju smiled in relief: "Your Highness, please."

His Royal Highness King Wei took the imperial decree and unfolded it slowly in his hands.

After a brief glance, his eyes showed joy, and his breathing became a lot faster.

He put down the imperial decree, first knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the coffin of Emperor Chengde, and then said in a deep voice, "Young Lord, read it."

Holding the imperial decree in both hands, Chen Ju walked up to Zhang Qu, bowed his head and said, "Mr. Zhang also has a look."

Zhang Qu unfolded the edict, glanced at it, and fell silent for a long time.
