In the fifth year of Yinde's reign, on September 12th, the eldest prince Shen Chengjin passed away in the fifth year of his life.

He was posthumously named Prince Chongheng, and the emperor withdrew from court for three days. The whole country mourned him, and the country mourned for three months.

Chengjin's funeral ceremony was also very grand, and all the concubines and royal heirs from the palace came to pay their respects.

Whether it was sincere or not, everyone shed a few tears at the funeral.

The queen and the eldest princess in front cried the most sadly, but they tried hard not to faint from crying again.

The eldest princess cried while burning paper money for Chengjin.

Never would I have imagined that Jin'er, such a well-behaved and sensible person, would actually be willing to leave this world and leave so many people who love him.

When she received the news that Jin'er was injured, her first reaction was to rush to stay with Jin'er. With her here, the child would be fine.

But as fate would have it, she didn't even see the last of Jin'er.

The queen seemed to have shed all the tears in her life, but could never get her child back.

In his memory, Chengjin was still so young, but he suddenly grew up to five years old. He was only five years old and would never grow older.

"Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor..." Yi'an knelt down behind her, also crying. Prince Chongheng passed away, and she no longer had a brother.

Although the relationship between the queen mother and her mother-in-law was not very good, the emperor brother always took good care of her in the study room, always encouraged her, and often gave her the delicious food the eldest princess brought from outside the palace.

The imperial brother often told her that she should call herself a son in front of her father, but she didn't listen, saying that her father liked her calling herself An'an.

The emperor's brother had no choice but to leave her alone for a few more years. When she grew up, he would call himself his son-in-law.

Now that the imperial brother is gone, should she grow up and call herself a daughter-in-law?

She always felt that she was still young, but if she thought about it carefully, she was already her father's eldest child.

And her brother had already left before she could compete with her on horseback.

On the day Chengjin was buried, the queen couldn't bear it anymore and fainted again in Emperor Yinde's arms.

The queen refused to wake up. Emperor Yinde and the eldest princess had been accompanying her. No matter what others said, no one wanted to rest.

It wasn't until the sunset that Li Fuhai came over to report that An Yi had something urgent to do and asked to see him, that Emperor Yinde returned to the Yangxin Hall.

As soon as Emperor Yin De entered the palace, he saw An Yi kneeling on the ground and refused to get up.

Seeing the situation, Li Fuhai drove away the servants waiting in the palace.

Emperor Yin De waved his hand tiredly, indicating that An Yi could speak back.

"Master, do you still remember the Glazed Gate?"

This sentence alone made Emperor Yin De pause in his hand as he picked up the tea cup. He knew these three words Liuguang Gate very well.

That was the last step in his ascension to the throne.

Seeing that Shen Yuchen, who was already the prince, had already won over 80% of the courtiers, the third prince Shen Yuming was not willing to surrender like this, so he secretly contacted the owner of the Liuguang Sect and promised his sister the position of queen.

All this was planned for more than three months, and it was supposed to be seamless. But the night before Shen Yuming launched his rebellion, Shen Yuchen's people discovered it, and the person who discovered all this was the secret agent who was reporting this to him at the moment. one.

Shen Yuming and the master of Liuguang Sect prepared a total of 50,000 elite soldiers. Shen Yuchen naturally had a good chance of winning, so he directly led 100,000 elite soldiers into Liuguang Sect with Gu Wenkang, Zhou Bin, and An Yi, and killed people. After cleaning everything, they finally used oil and fire to burn the Glazed Gate to the ground.

At that time, the late emperor's body was no longer what it used to be. When he heard about this, he vomited blood and fell into a coma for less than half a month.

After waking up, he directly issued an order to execute Shen Yuming. In fact, Shen Yuchen knelt down to beg for this imperial edict. He knew that his father was a little reluctant to give up, but he still did it.

Because he knows that the most taboo thing for an emperor is to be too kind.

If he hadn't discovered it in time, Shen Yuming might not only have killed his brother, but also his biological father.

"Haven't the people from Liuguang Sect been dealt with? Then who are these people?" Emperor Yin De asked coldly.

An Yi bowed respectfully and replied, "It happened five years ago. The children at that time have grown up now."

Emperor Yinde exhaled a breath, yes, five years have passed.

"At that time, the leader of the Liuguang Sect was not completely sure that he would help Shen Yuming win, so he had a backup plan. When he was about to start a rebellion, he handed over several of his senior brothers and his biological sister. To a good friend of mine."

An Yi continued, "And Xiaoying who was in Liaozhou Town was the biological sister of the head of the Liuguang Sect back then. Those who assassinated Shengjia in Jiangnan and His Highness the Crown Prince this time were both people from the Liuguang Sect."

As soon as An finished speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing, and there was silence in the hall again.

Emperor Yinde held the tea cup and was stunned for a long time. It turned out that all this was done by the remnants of the rebels.

"Didn't you find anyone else besides Sakura?"

"Yes." An Yi replied, "His Royal Highness's people caught an assassin, and his subordinates interrogated him all night. These words came out of his mouth, and Xiaoying, as the younger sister of the Liuguang Sect's leader, is The one with the harsh words was punished by his subordinates, but he refused to say anything."

"Then there's no need to keep it."

Emperor Yinde rubbed his temples and said, "How many more rebels do you think there are that I haven't discovered yet?"

After saying this, An Yi and Li Fuhai both lowered their heads and remained silent. These people really did all kinds of evil. They not only assassinated His Majesty, but also took His Royal Highness away. It was really a heinous crime.

"An Yi, leave one alive, and hang the rest."

"This matter must be settled." Emperor Yin De's voice was cold, and he directly placed the tea cup heavily on the sandalwood table.

An Yi's heart sank, and then he bowed, "I obey the order, master, please rest assured."

Emperor Yinde sat alone on the soft couch for a long time. He really didn't expect that the Liuguang Sect had left any survivors alive, and they were so capable. They plotted against Hui Zhaoyuan and Yi'an, plotted against him and the queen, and even took them away directly. Jin'er.

If he had taken strict precautions back then, perhaps such a big thing wouldn't have happened.

"Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian wants to see you." Xiao Nanzi's voice sounded from outside the palace.

Emperor Yinde calmed down and said, "Please come in, Concubine Xian."

Xiao Nanzi made a respectful gesture of invitation and invited Su Qingyao into the hall.

Su Qingyao bowed politely and said, "I, my concubine, see your majesty. May your majesty be safe."

"Sit down." Emperor Yin De glanced at Su Qingyao and said softly.

"I personally made some ginseng soup. Your Majesty, please try it." Su Qingyao said, then put the food box on the sandalwood table.

"Yao'er is interested." Emperor Yin De was originally sad because he couldn't eat anything, but thinking that Su Qingyao had made it himself, he still wanted to try it.

Normally at this time, Su Qingyao would personally serve the soup and hand it to Emperor Yin De, but today, she sat on the soft couch on the other side without moving.
