It wasn't like this in my last life

When Song Xi said those words, Song Badai was walking out of the forest, holding a wild fruit in his arms, he was startled when he heard it, his hand slipped and the fruit fell all over the ground.

Song Xi jumped off the horse and came to help him pick up the fruit.

Song Badai Zhuangruo asked him casually, "What did you say to Prince Gong just now?"

Song Xi smiled, pretending to be mysterious, "I won't tell you, we have an agreement first, and I will tell you after you finish speaking."

Song Badai said in his heart what to hide, I heard it all!

"What are you in a daze for? Get on the horse and set off." Song Xi picked up the fruit and stretched out his hand to pull him.Song Badai had protested before and wanted to ride a horse by himself, but Song Xi refused because there were not enough horses. There was no way, Song Badai had to continue to squeeze a horse with him, and endure the various reactions caused by someone's friction and collision.

Princess Xinhui changed into men's clothes again, her face was gloomy, and she didn't say a word along the way.

Song Badai was a little worried, "Is what she said believable?"

Song Xi raised her eyebrows, "What are you afraid of? Zong Jue is just relying on the advantage of the location. I don't want to play tricks with him at all. Just fight her. As for her, I will send someone to keep an eye on her."

"Then Prince Gong..." Although he promised that he would not hurt himself, it is not necessarily the case for Song Xi. After all, Song Xi's succession to the throne is more legitimate than Prince Gong's.

Song Xi touched him, took the opportunity to mop up some oil, with a serious face, "He's not stupid, and getting rid of me won't do him any good. As long as I abide by the agreement, he won't do anything."

"Agreement?" Song Badai raised his eyebrows.

Song Xi flicked the rein, "Let's go."

The army set off all the way to the capital.

The soldiers guarding the city had discovered it when the army was approaching the capital, and immediately reported to Ling Su.

"Can you see the banner clearly?" Ling Su frowned, calmed down after a while, and had some guesses in his heart, "Check again and report again."

When he confirmed that it was His Royal Highness's army, he went to the city in person and opened the city gate to greet him.Vice-General Wang sent by Prince Jing, who was named as assistant, tried to stop him with his sword, but was blocked by two guards around him and took it down on the spot. "Press it out and let His Royal Highness take the wind and wash away the dust."

"Okay, General Ling is also a loyal man, now follow me into the palace to arrest the rebels." Song Xi did not even get off his horse, and turned his head to order, "Song Dan, order five thousand elite soldiers to guard the city gate, and if there are any intruders, they will be killed. Tsing Yi, lead the rest of the troops to attack the palace with me. Remember, you must not disturb the people, and if you violate the order, you will be dealt with by military law."

Prince Jing entered the palace long before the army entered the city.

"Mother Concubine, Ling Su's bastard turned traitor as you expected, now we only have five thousand guards left in the palace, isn't it..."

Concubine Jing shook her head, "What's the rush? We have the edict of the former emperor and the testimony of the empress dowager. Most of the civil and military officials are here with us. It doesn't matter if he is the crown prince. We have to charge him with trespassing. Back then What about that lowly maid? It will be of great use if someone brings her here."

Prince Jing still seemed anxious, "Most of the treasures have been transported out now, we still have time to go through the secret passage, and when the time comes to go overseas, with this money, why can't we make a comeback?"

Concubine Jing wanted to slap him in the face, why did she give birth to such a courageous son!

"That's the way we left for ourselves. It's not that time yet. Listen, if you act like this again in a while, then our mother and son will die. Put away your cowardly look. This Bet, if you win, you are the king of the country. If you lose, it’s okay if you lose, we still have a way to go. Calm down and think about what to say for a while.”

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's medicine has arrived." The maid stood outside the door and reminded softly.

Concubine Jing waved her hand, "Go ahead, watch her take it, I will ask her to go out and say a few words later, don't let her fall asleep."

"Yes."

Not long after the maid left, the guards guarding the palace gate came to report that His Royal Highness led troops to force their way into the palace.

"Here we come." Concubine Jing's spirit was shaken, "Put on the make-up for this palace, you call all civil and military officials to go to court."

Song Xi didn't encounter strong resistance when he entered the palace, the guards just let him in after asking him to put down his weapon.He thought that Prince Jing had given up resisting, but it turned out that he was here waiting for him.

"Can Prince Jing tell this crown prince that your father's body is not yet cold, what are you planning to do?"

Prince Jing was taken aback by his aura and stuttered.Concubine Jing frowned tightly with her pretty eyebrows, she took the lead and said, "Song Xi, are you guilty?"

Song Xi looked at her coldly, "Oh? What crime is the concubine planning to charge me with?"

Concubine Jing was condescending, "Of course it's the crime of deceiving the emperor." Seeing that the officials were surprised, she was not in a hurry to explain, and clapped her hands, "Bring him out, I want you to have nothing to say."

"Isn't this... the maid who served Concubine Rou and later came out to rectify the name of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Concubine Jing said coldly: "That's right. It's just that everyone, including the late emperor, was deceived by this woman and Song Xi. Song Xi was not the late emperor's child at all, and everything was done in collusion with them." Looking down The people below, "Say it yourself."

The court lady was in a daze, talking like she was reciting, "The late emperor's child died on the road. His surname was Song, and he was a child of the Song family. The late emperor's child died on the road. His surname was Song, and he was a child of the Song family... ..."

Song Xi smiled and didn't care, "The noble concubine is planning to use this..." He waved it casually as if he didn't know how to express it, "The former emperor appointed me as the crown prince, are you saying that the first emperor has no eyes? "

"Presumptuous!" Prince Jing stood up, "Royal father was just deceived by the traitor."

Concubine Jing nodded, "That's right, besides, the late emperor had already noticed something was wrong before he died, and ordered someone to conduct a thorough investigation again, which allowed him to discover the truth, and he just left like this in a fit of anger. Song Xi, you not only Deceived the emperor, and even killed the late emperor, are you guilty?"

Song Xi picked out his ears, "I really don't know."

Civil and military officials, some with a firm stand, watched the excitement; some were in doubt, and looked around at each other.

Concubine Jing stood up, "I know you don't believe me, so I will issue an imperial edict before the late emperor dies, in order to abolish your crown prince and establish a new king." She motioned slightly, and Ji Gonggong took the bright yellow imperial edict come.

There was a minister standing on King Jing's side at the bottom, and he immediately stood up and cooperated and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty's concubine, I don't know who your Majesty's new monarch will be?"

Concubine Jing didn't say anything immediately, but just waved her hand, "Please, Empress Dowager, when Your Majesty issued the imperial edict, Empress Dowager was also there to witness, everything is decided by the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager walked in with the help of a court lady and sat down on the main seat.

After everyone saluted, Concubine Jing walked up to the Empress Dowager hypocritically, "Empress Mother, did Your Majesty draw up another imperial edict that day?"

"Yes." The Queen Mother replied dully.

Concubine Jing blocked everyone's eyes from probing, and continued: "Could the queen mother clarify the confusion for the civil and military officials, whether this edict is true or not?"

"real."

Concubine Jing smiled when she heard the words, and turned to look at the crowd, "Do you have any questions?"

Someone immediately responded, "Since Eunuch Ji and the Empress Dowager have testified, this imperial edict must be absolutely true. Please also read the edict to the eunuch."

Concubine Jing nodded, "Since that's the case, Eunuch Ji will read it."

"Yes." Ji Gonggong bowed, "It has been fifty-six years since I ascended the throne, the rivers in the sea are clear, and the people are happy... Although the crown prince Zongxi is a noble character, he has a hidden illness and cannot bear the heavy responsibility. Among the remaining princes, only the second son of the emperor Zong Jin is very humble to me, and I want to pass on the crown to the second son of the emperor, Zong Jin. All the princes should work together to wear a new king. The important ministers should support the prime minister carefully and help the country together."

"It's impossible!" Prince Jing jumped out, pointing at the edict and shouting, "It's a fake, it must have been replaced!"

Song Xi looked at him coldly, "This is ridiculous, just now the emperor's grandmother, the imperial concubine and Ji Gonggong all said it was true, but now they say it is false, the truth of this decree is all up to you, third brother." talk?"

Concubine Jing's face was pale, obviously she couldn't figure out why she suddenly became like this.She looked at Ji Gonggong, then turned her head suddenly to look at the queen mother, who was staring at her with clear eyes, and she didn't look like she had taken medicine at all.

"Do you think that if you let Aijia drink the medicine, you can do whatever you want?" The queen mother stood up with the help of the maid, "Fortunately, this girl saved Aijia's life."

Prince Jing took a closer look and almost fainted. That maid looked familiar, it was none other than Princess Xinhui's maid, why didn't she die? !

Song Xi had seen enough of the drama, and then walked out slowly, "Second brother and I saw through the wolfish ambitions of your mother and son, and knew that you would definitely change the imperial edict, so we took the first step to hide the edict, and took the opportunity to change it back today .”

A minister below was puzzled, "Your Highness is saying..."

"That's right, this imperial edict is true. The emperor's grandmother and I were both present when the imperial father issued the edict. You can take a look. There are seals of the emperor's grandmother and me on it. I am in poor health and embarrassing the important task of this country. The people of Dingxi asked my father to set up a new emperor. My father loved me, but I was always hesitant. Fortunately, my father still put the overall situation first and appointed my second brother as the new king. From today on, I am no longer Dingxi’s Prince."

He knelt down neatly while saying, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." His tone was sonorous and forceful, but he didn't know how unwilling he was to say these words.

All the ministers were taken aback for a moment, and then knelt down.

Imperial Concubine Jing and Prince Jing were stunned, the situation was over, and what awaited them was eternal doom.

"No, I won't admit defeat like this, I am the Empress Dowager." Concubine Jing suddenly rushed over, grabbed the phoenix hairpin from her temples and pressed it against the Empress Dowager's neck. "Don't come here, Jue'er, come here."
