When Zhu Qiaoxin was about to leave the inner hall, he happened to meet Yun Zheng Yunxing who hurried over and Zhong Qiande who followed him.

"The emperor is dead, and the queen is dead too!"

Just now everyone was frightened by the appearance of the emperor and queen, and only now did someone react and stretch out their hand cautiously.

"The emperor ordered to pass on the throne to His Royal Highness the eldest princess!" Someone then knelt down.

And following this sound, all the guards in the hall who had heard the Queen's order and saw that the Emperor Wu did not deny it immediately knelt down.

"His Royal Highness, please accept the condolences and ascend the throne as soon as possible!" Yun Zheng was the first to react, and quickly knelt down in front of Zhu Qiaoxin.

"Please mourn the princess, take care of the dragon body!" Yun Xing was also very surprised, and quickly knelt down.

"My condolences to the princess, take care of the dragon body!" The guards following Yunzheng Yunxing also knelt down together.

Not thinking about other things at all, Zhu Qiaoxin just shifted his gaze to the only Zhong Qiande who was still standing in the main hall at the moment, staring at him with burning eyes.

And when Zhong Qiande was still standing straight, the emperor sat down the leader of the six guards of the Imperial Forest Army.But already figured everything out, quickly came in and knelt down in front of Zhu Qiaoxin.

Sparing the kneeling crowd in front of him, Zhu Qiaoxin walked towards Zhong Qiande step by step: "Where is she?"

After experiencing everything just now, even she was confused about whether it was true or false, and now Zhu Qiaoxin only wanted to get a definite and true answer.Knowing that he is Emperor Wu's confidant, knowing that he has always liked Yue Qingfeng.So at this moment, Zhu Qiaoxin accidentally pinned all her last hopes on him, only hoping to get a different answer from this population.

Looking up at this woman who has suddenly become his master sitting on the entire Dazhou, Zhong Qiande lightly blinked his eyes.Then he hurriedly suppressed the unwillingness and surprise in his eyes and slowly knelt down: "His Royal Highness, I have found out---"

"I asked you where she is?" Knowing that he found out the things she arranged for Yunxing to secretly put in Lu Bingyan's place, but at this moment Zhu Qiaoxin couldn't care less about anything else.Suddenly bent over Zhu Qiaoxin grabbed Zhong Qiande's collar directly, his expression was full of eagerness and some secret requests that even she didn't know.

The neck is burning hot, and it is rare to be excited about the eldest princess.Zhong Qiande sighed softly, then raised his head and said in a low voice: "It's been three days under the iron chain bridge in Zhaoshan. Thousands of people have searched for nothing, so there is no hope, princess---"

Slowly lowering his eyes, Zhong Qiande clenched his fist tightly and suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "There is also a princess, now that there is no emperor or queen in Dazhou, it is bound to be a whole mess. So I beg Your Highness , Abandon the benevolence of children and women, think about Da Zhou, think about the emperor's high hopes for you, think about everything you have to face next, okay?"

"What does this have to do with me?" His eyes were already filled with tears, and his heart was suddenly desperate to the bone.

Looking back at the culprit who ruined her life's happiness and played with her and Yue Qingfeng.And the elder brother who had the opportunity to tell everyone everything, but didn't say anything seemed great and magnanimous.Yue Qingfeng's eyes were red and he said loudly: "I don't want to. Why should they do whatever they want? Why should I listen to them? Why should I listen to this kind of person? hour---"

"Princess!" Yun Zheng, who hadn't spoken too much in the back, quickly shouted.

Looking up at this woman who got everything but didn't know how to cherish it at all, Zhong Qiande said with a blank expression: "Princess, King Ping has not been in the fief for a long time. He lied to everyone, and now I will send someone to search through the entire Zhou Dynasty. Yes, but I still haven’t heard from him at all. And just now my subordinates said that the emperor and empress personally handed over Da Zhou to you, so now I ask the princess to give up her children’s affair, the overall situation is the most important thing!”

Looking at him coldly, Zhu Qiaoxin looked out expressionlessly.

Everyone glanced at each other, Zhong Qiande quickly looked at Yun Zheng who was on the side.Even though he didn't have much contact with him in court for a long time, he has already seen through this person.He has the same ideals and aspirations as him, and Zhong Qiande does not believe that he will let his master be confused at this time.

Meeting his gaze, Yun Zheng paused for a moment, and then immediately gave him a calm look.

"Brother, will the master not think about it?" Yun Xing, who has always been an invisible person, couldn't help but make a sound when he saw the eldest princess who had already walked out.

Looking back at him, he looked at Princess Wei who had gone away.Yun Zheng stood up slowly, her eyes full of determination and excitement: "No, she is the princess of Wei. Now that the emperor has died suddenly, she is the pillar and symbol of the whole Dazhou. She will not just watch Dazhou It's messed up, I'm sure she will figure it out soon!"

Moving forward in a daze, the queen's words seemed to be still ringing in her ears just now, walking forward step by step without a clue, Zhu Qiaoxin said to herself: "I---I'm not a puppet, why should I listen to a crazy woman? My sister is definitely not dead, we made an appointment to go to Wushan together. So I will go to Wushan to wait for her, and they must not have searched Zhaoshan properly, so I have to go there in person---"

"The emperor is dead!"

Zhu Qiaoxin, who was still dreaming, was stunned by the ear-piercing voice from Xuanwu Hall behind.

And when she was in a daze, the big bell of the Great Zhou Palace, which was usually only remembered after the new emperor ascended the throne and the emperor passed away, rang.

The clang clang was louder and louder, as if it was hitting her heart.There was a dull pain in her heart, and she didn't understand until now what she had done in just one hour.Only now did she finally understand what she had put herself in.

She, Zhu Qiaoxin, lost her brother just now, and at the same time lost her wife who was going to spend her whole life with her.

By this time, she has become a sinner, beyond redemption.

"The emperor is dead!" A mournful voice sounded, and all the guards on the surrounding palace roads put down their weapons and knelt down.

"Your Majesty!" Countless court ladies and eunuchs poured out from all around, and stood there blankly.Zhu Qiaoxin didn't realize that there seemed to be something different until his ears were filled with the panicked voices of the crowd.

"The emperor is dead!"

"The emperor is dead!!"

"The emperor is dead!!!"

Every time he walks out of a palace gate, all he sees are kneeling ladies and eunuchs.Even the empresses, who were rarely seen before, all went crazy and ran out crying. According to the laws of the Great Zhou, when the emperor died, all concubines who had not given birth and maids who had served in bed had to be buried, and the generation of the Great Zhou None of the concubines in the harem gave birth.

"The empress has died with the emperor!" someone shouted, and when Zhu Qiaoxin was protected by many guards, the empress of the imperial concubine Li who was running towards her from the palace stopped suddenly.Before Zhu Qiaoxin could react, she stood far away and took the sword from the guard around her and wiped it on her neck.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" All the maids and eunuchs serving Concubine Li knelt down and burst into tears.

If there are concubines in the harem who dare not hang themselves or be buried, their families may be questioned.And these slave maids will also have their heads cut off in advance, indicating that they will go down first and wait for her to come and continue to serve her.Concubine Li's move not only saved the family, but also saved hundreds of slaves in the West Palace.

Suddenly reacting, Zhu Qiaoxin pushed away the guards around her, and rushed to the Meridian Gate tower like crazy.Standing on the tall city tower, the formerly bustling Yancheng became quiet all of a sudden.After seeing the people and officials in the capital that kept coming towards the Great Zhou Palace and surrounded the entire palace tightly, Zhu Qiaoxin finally understood that she could not stand by and watch, and finally could not ignore the chaos in Yancheng.

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been a symbol of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty since the founding of the country, and every time there is a state funeral for the royal family.There will always be civil strife and strife.Even small countries on the border will be gearing up to take the opportunity to harass the borders of the Great Zhou.So this was the main reason why Brother Huang hurriedly called her back when he felt a little unwell, and desperately searched for King Ping.

Suddenly he understood why he kept silent when Zhou Hou falsely delivered the imperial decree, and Zhu Qiaoxin had mixed feelings in an instant.

Looking at the people below who were constantly coming towards the palace in panic, and seeing the thick blue smoke rising from the moats around Yancheng in the distance, Zhu Qiaoxin turned around slowly.

Yun Zheng, Yun Xing, Zhong Qiande and others in the rear had followed her all the way.Seeing her turn around, she quickly knelt down.

All of a sudden, I felt a heavy burden weighing on my body.Looking up and listening to the panicked voices of the people outside the city, Zhu Qiaoxin finally said: "Light the beacon tower on the city tower, and tell the surrounding troops that the palace is fine so that they don't come and stand still. As for the situation in the city, pass an order to Yuzheng, the admiral of the nine gates." Yu, tell him to control it. Anyone who confuses the public with evil words and takes the opportunity to provoke trouble will be killed. During the national mourning period, hanging red, banquets, and celebrations are prohibited throughout the country, and offenders will be punished according to the law regardless of their status. "

"Also---" Looking at Zhong Qiande, Zhu Qiaoxin said softly: "There must be no gossip in the palace. During the national funeral, how should you arrange for you to go to the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites? The issue of burial , everything should be handled according to the law and as light as possible, and there must be no mistakes."

"My minister obeys the order!" Zhong Qiande saw that she had finally regained her composure, and hurriedly received the order.

"Princess, do the princes and clansmen in Yancheng and the territories need--" Yun Zheng asked cautiously.

Turning around, he looked at the group of clan princes and princes who were kneeling below in sackcloth and filial piety.Zhu Qiaoxin panted slowly and said loudly: "Send a letter to the subordinates, telling them that they are absolutely not allowed to enter the palace without an edict, except for His Royal Highness Ping Wang. There are also relatives and nobles below. Except for the Jiangnan King who can enter the palace, the rest are all I will rush them all back to their mansions and keep them under strict watch. Tell them that I will find them when they need to come forward. All the officials in the court will be guarded by me. During the national mourning period, if there are any cliques for personal gain, they will all be severely punished!"
