Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the emperor's feet. He looked terrified, as if he had been greatly frightened. After seeing Li Dehai, he seemed to see a savior, and said eagerly: "Hurry up! Let Daoist Chen come and take this witch send away!"

The imperial army looked embarrassed, the Sumerian was obviously out of breath, and the bruises on her neck were clearly caused by the emperor, everyone was already dead, even if there was a female ghost, it was the emperor's fault.

However, Li Dehai strode forward at this moment, extremely serious; "Don't worry, your majesty, this servant will order someone to invite Daoist Chen!"

He didn't even look at the Sumerian corpse on the bed, and directly helped the emperor out.

The imperial guards watched his movements and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"As expected of the chief eunuch, it's really amazing."

"Then this Sumerian..."

Several imperial guards didn't dare to look directly at this corpse. Although they had seen too many corpses, this person in front of them was the emperor's concubine. They were so naked that they dared not touch it.

Fortunately, it was Li Dehai who helped the emperor out, and then turned back.

"Hurry up and carry the corpse out of the palace."

With Li Dehai's words, several people became bolder, rolled up Sumerian's body with a quilt, and carried it out.

After finishing this matter, Li Dehai instructed the people around him, and said in a low voice: "Take some money out and give it to her parents on her behalf."

After hearing the words, the little eunuch was stunned: "For Su Meiren's parents?"

"You know why don't you go quickly?" Li Dehai's face suddenly turned cold.

"Yes yes yes!" The little eunuch turned pale and ran out quickly.

Looking at the empty bedroom, Li Dehai couldn't help shivering.

The emperor's temper is getting weirder...

What happened to the Sumerians was like a small pebble falling into the sea, and just as it stirred up a little wave, it was swept away by a bigger wave.

Only a few people have heard of these rumors.

And the fact that the emperor could not go to the early dynasty one after another undoubtedly confirmed the authenticity of this matter.

However, as the emperor's body fell ill, the hearts of the people in the court began to fluctuate.

Chu Yunyi is the prince, and he is orthodox in many people's hearts. However, for the second prince and his party, Chu Yunyi is the biggest stumbling block on their way to success.

Therefore, when the news of the Sumerians reached Chu Mengyang's ears, he felt the emperor's abnormality for the first time.

"Father strangled the Sumerian?" He frowned and said, "Why? Could it be that Father is insane? But all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital have treated Father before, and never mentioned this matter. thing."

The staff around him are gray-haired, but their old eyes have shrewdness that doesn't match their age: "Your Highness, it's not that the emperor is insane, but that his inner demon has appeared."

Hearing this, Chu Mengyang became more and more puzzled: "What demon?"

In his eyes, he has already sat on the supreme position, so what demons will there be?

The staff member smiled mysteriously: "Don't you know that Your Highness didn't know about Qichen's change more than 20 years ago?"

"You mean..."

"Exactly!" The staff looked excited, "Your Highness, don't you know? There were many doubts about the Qichen change that year. It was rumored that the former prince was dissatisfied with the late emperor's passing of the throne to the emperor, so he launched the palace change. The emperor wanted to save the emperor. The first prince had to be killed, the first princess knew she had no face to face everyone, so she burned herself to death, and everyone in the East Palace also died in the fire."

"But if you think about it carefully, the prince is already a prince, why do you want to launch a palace change? Could it be that you just want to sit on the throne soon?" Chu Mengyang was stunned by the meaningful words of the staff.

Chu Mengyang is not a fool. After thinking about it for a while, he noticed the strangeness.

To judge others by himself, if he becomes a prince, there is no need for a palace change at all, he just needs to wait until the emperor's life is dying and he will sit on the throne as a matter of course.

But for the emperor who was still the third prince at that time, if he wanted to sit on the throne, the only way was Gongbian.

"You mean...the one who launched the palace change back then was not the first prince, but the emperor?" Chu Mengyang asked this question in surprise, and the next moment he frowned again, "But this has nothing to do with Su Meiren. What does it matter? She is only talented, how can she be the demon of the father?"

"This is an old story." The staff joked with a smile, "You probably don't know that there were many rumors when the late emperor was around, one of which was that the current sage, who was still the third prince, had an affair with the late emperor's concubine. Her surname is Qin, and she is one of the late emperor's most beloved concubines. During the palace banquet, her subordinates have seen Su Meiren from afar. Her appearance and temperament are almost carved out of the same mold as Qin Zhaoyi back then. of!"

The staff's words completely overturned Chu Mengyang's cognition.

His lips moved a few times, and he murmured: "Father, he actually..."

"My subordinates are straightforward. Although they were not officials in the court back then, they also had good friends with many important officials of the court. The late prince is gentle and virtuous. Whether it is the late emperor or other ministers, they are very satisfied with him. If there is no accident, His succession to the throne is a certainty! But when the first emperor was seriously ill, he led his troops to initiate a palace coup, which was abnormal. In addition to the series of subsequent events, it seemed that he was implicated, but in fact it was more like being murdered. "

"Before the palace change, there were rumors in the palace that the late emperor caught the third prince and had an affair with Qin Zhaoyi. If you connect these things together, you will know that the truth of the matter is not what you see on the surface?"

Chu Mengyang's fingers moved slightly. Under the seemingly calm appearance, a stormy sea had already set off.

If what the staff said is true, the truth of the matter is most likely that his most respected father was the real culprit who killed the late emperor. Perhaps it was because the late emperor discovered his affair with Qin Zhaoyi. For his own reputation, It was also for the sake of the throne that he did not hesitate to do such vicious things as killing his father and brother!

He looked at his staff in a daze: "What is Mr. Du's intention in saying this?"

"Those who achieve great things don't care about small things." Mr. Du suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously, "Your Highness, if you can learn from the emperor, maybe this position will have to be replaced."

Chu Mengyang turned pale with shock: "Mr. Du be careful!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everyone around has been dismissed, and now there are only you and me." Mr. Du's attitude is respectful, and every word is bewitching Chu Mengyang, "Don't you want to sit in that position? The prince has always been partial to him, even if he conspired with the Jiang family to commit capital crimes such as collaborating with the enemy and treason, he still refused to punish the prince, don't you feel wronged?"

"According to the emperor's love for the prince, if you don't fight, you have nothing to do with the throne. The prince is narrow-minded, and the day the emperor dies is the time when your head will be lost! If you are willing to fight, then we still have a chance vitality!"

Every word of Mr. Du shocked Chu Mengyang: "Even if it's a fight, it won't be..."

"You have only this way!" Mr. Du said sharply, "Your Highness, you have no other choice!"

Before Chu Mengyang could speak, Mr. Du pressed on step by step: "Why don't you lead your troops into the palace now, while the entire Jiang family is in prison, while the emperor is seriously ill, and before everyone reacts?" , put the emperor under house arrest and kill the prince, only in this way can you sit on the throne!"

"You don't have to care about those rumors, you are the emperor, even if they complain, they can only smile at you!"

Chu Mengyang sat down on the chair, and after a long time, he let out a sigh.

"Wait a little longer." He waved his hands weakly, "I have to think again."

Hearing this, Mr. Du sighed.

But seeing Chu Mengyang's confused expression, he didn't continue to persuade, but said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you are a smart person, and you know what choice is best for you."

In the study, there was only Chu Mengyang alone.

When he thought of Mr. Du's words just now, he agreed in his heart very much, but if he really asked him to do it...it was really difficult for others.

……

"really?"

Gu Ning opened his eyes wide with shock.

She was holding the tea she poured not long ago, because she was too focused on listening to the gossip, the tea was cold, and she hadn't had a sip yet.

The Eldest Princess took a sip of tea slowly and nodded slowly: "That's natural, will I still lie to you?"

"Since Qin Zhaoyi is the emperor's best friend, why did he strangle Su Meiren to death?" Gu Ning frowned, and just after asking this question, she figured it out again, "Could it be that Qin Zhaoyi also died in..."

"Exactly." The Eldest Princess sneered, "Men are only good at talking, but when it comes to matters that are directly related, they become more ruthless than one another."

Old General Pei, Pei Anlin and Xie Yan were all silent.

The eldest princess didn't seem to see the three of them, and then continued: "Don't look at the emperor's love for Qin Zhaoyi, but compared with the throne, Qin Zhaoyi is nothing."

"The Jiang family helped him win the throne. One of the conditions was that he make the Jiang family his queen. The Jiang family was jealous, and she would never allow such a threat from Qin Zhaoyi to exist. Under the persecution of the Jiang family, he personally executed Qin Zhaoyi. "

"During the Qichen Incident, there were countless deaths and injuries. Qin Zhaoyi was just a small concubine. No one cared about her life and death. It's just that the emperor always had some thoughts about this person whom he admired when he was young. No, it was a little stimulating. , he strangled the Sumerian by mistake.”

Gu Ning shuddered all over. She rubbed the granules on her arms and said in a low voice: "In this case, then the matter of the late emperor and the late prince... no one knows?"

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess was silent for a while, and left the corner of her eye to thank the banquet.

Seeing a nervous look in Xie Yan's eyes, she waved her hand: "It's all old things, you always bring up what to do."

"Why don't you come and discuss with me, the date of your wedding with Xie Yan, do you want to get married earlier? Or later?"

Gu Ning blinked her eyes. Under the threatening eyes of General Pei and Pei Anlin, as well as Xie Yan's phoenix eyes, she honestly replied: "Let's get married earlier."
