Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Concubine Shu hanged herself in the prison.

The news spread throughout the imperial capital like it had wings.

For a time, the crowd was hotly discussing.

In the mansion of the eldest prince.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the prince's methods seem to be more powerful than we imagined."

When Zhou Zheng's name was mentioned again, Zhou Fan's tone became more cautious.

This person whom he had never put in his eyes now gave him a strong sense of oppression.

"It's really shocking that Concubine Shu could commit suicide with just a few words in the prison."

Liu Fu's old face wasn't too tense and solemn, but his words were a little more affirmative of Zhou Zheng.

As the head of a hundred officials, Liu Fu knows things that are far beyond what others can match.

"But, is the eldest prince afraid?"

"Master Prime Minister, don't you think Zhou Zheng is scary?"

Zhou Fan asked Liu Fu, in the whole country now, who dares to look down upon Zhou Zheng?

In addition, Zhou Zheng has gradually gained real power, and the most important thing is the change in the Holy Emperor's attitude towards him, which makes all the princes even more frightened. Especially the Zhu Sui incident is like a thorn inserted deeply into Zhou Fan's heart, like a stuck in his throat. !

"First Prince, you are worrying too much."

Waving his hand, Liu Fu took his time.

"The moment Concubine Shu died, the prince no longer had any status in the heart of the Holy Emperor."

While sneering, Liu Fu analyzed it methodically.

"The current crown prince seems to be gradually gaining His Majesty's approval, and even has the power to organize Zhuli. This is just an appearance."

"Go to the Great Yuan Dynasty in the north to discuss the matter of marrying the princess. If you succeed, you will lose the opportunity to ascend the throne forever."

"If it fails, if it angers Dayuan or returns without success, how can such a person be worthy of a big responsibility?"

Zhou Fan breathed a sigh of relief at Liu Fu's words.

"In other words, no matter whether he can marry Princess Dayuan or not, he will lose?"

"That's right!"

Liu Fu was originally the one who wanted Zhou Zheng to go to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and he had already calculated various possibilities.

Regardless of the outcome, in Liu Fu's opinion, it was enough to completely make Zhou Zheng lose the opportunity to compete for the top position.

"I heard that Sima Cheng, the Minister of War, went to find Zhou Zheng."

"He's just a minister of the Ministry of War, so what if he has some real power?"

"Putting your hopes on Zhou Zheng, it seems that he still doesn't give up on Gan Mo."

"It would be a good thing if the prince really dares to do what he does next. The more he offends the Holy One, the closer he will be to death."

After serving the Holy Emperor for so many years, Liu Fu knew Zhou Tian's temperament very well.

Now, all he lacks is a high-sounding reason to depose the prince. The more Zhou Zheng angers Zhou Tian, ​​the more miserable his fate will be in the future!

......

"Second Prince, Zhou Zheng will leave the imperial capital in three days."

"The further north you go, the less visited you are..."

There was a hint of chill in Yu Xing's voice, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"What are you panicking about?!"

"There are many people who want him dead."

"We can just watch quietly."

A soft smile appeared on Zhou Ting's stern face.

......

"Is everything arranged?"

In the third prince's residence, Zhou Qiao looked pale. Just now he heard the news that Concubine Shu had committed suicide. At that moment, Zhou Qiao's murderous intention towards Zhou Zheng had reached its peak!

"Your Highness, if you act at this time, things will not go so smoothly..."

A somewhat rickety figure stood behind Zhou Qiao, with a serious look on his face, but he finally spoke out to persuade him.

"The prince has made such a big noise during this period that he even tried to make Concubine Shu hang herself in the sky prison."

"It's not that he isn't worried about the crazy revenge he may face, but it's because the more arrogant he is, the more he will attract the attention of the world."

The prince's trip to Dayuan was a sensation throughout the country, with countless pairs of eyes watching overtly and covertly.

It is not easy to take action without anyone noticing on the road.

If you are not careful, if you are involved in it and reveal clues, it will be a fatal disaster!

"Did Concubine Shu die like this in vain?!"

The pale face suddenly lifted up, and the palms clenched into fists hit the tea cup hard.

Bang!

For a moment, the delicate porcelain shattered on the ground, and the sharp fragments directly cut through Zhou Qiao's fleshy palm, causing blood to flow freely.

But Zhou Qiao didn't care at all!

"Zhou Zheng must die, no matter what, he must die!"

At this moment, Zhou Zheng was not the so-called fourth brother in Zhou Qiao's heart, but an sworn enemy!

"Your Highness, Concubine Shu's death may be the best ending for Your Highness..."

Seeing Zhou Qiao who was almost going berserk, the old man frowned. A woman was of no importance in front of the great cause of the country.

"If Concubine Shu doesn't die, there will be changes."

"Could it be that the Third Prince, regardless of all his hard work over the years, is really willing to be exposed and become a despised person, or even go to jail!?"

The old man's low drink made Zhou Qiao, who was immersed in anger, sober up in an instant.

"However, I am not willing to let this matter go unnoticed!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Qiao couldn't hide the killing intent in his voice.

Because he knows better than anyone else that he is no longer a political offensive and defensive alliance with Shu Fei, but has real feelings for her!

Zhou Qiao never touched another woman again because of Concubine Shu!

Even though he knew that this woman was the woman of the current Holy Emperor and his nominal mother-in-law!

But so what? !

Over the years, he has been constantly trying to please Zhou Tian, ​​secretly working hard to fight for the throne, not only to control the power of the world, but also to truly take Concubine Shu as his own!

If it weren't for Zhou Zheng, how could his favorite concubine Shu be separated from Zhou Qiao? !

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything will be arranged properly."

"Zhou Zheng's journey north will not be that easy."

The old man looked at Zhou Qiao in front of him with some distress, but finally let go.

He knew very well that if there was really no movement, Zhou Qiao would be completely devastated.

......

Deep in the palace.

A ghostly black shadow stood quietly behind Zhou Tian.

"Your Majesty, the prince has already set off to look for Gan Mo."

The dry voice came quietly without any emotion.

After hearing these words, Zhou Tian just put down the memorial in his hand.

"In the past ten years, no one has dared to advocate rescuing Gan Mo. Even several princes are afraid of him."

"Didn't you expect that he would still be the prince in the end?"

Zhou Tian murmured to himself, ten years!

The world only knew that Gan Mo had committed a crime that required death, and that the emperor's orders and laws required Gan Mo to die.

But no one knew that Zhou Tian hoped Gan Mo could still live.

In other words, Gan Mo still has value and cannot die.

"What happened back then when Gan Moruo was released from prison..."

The shadow wanted to speak but stopped.

"What, are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid, old slave!"

"Since you're not afraid, why not let him come out?"

"I must get what I want!"
