"Your Majesty, do you really think that His Majesty has not issued an imperial edict?"
"What did you say?"
Concubine Xue frowned, staring fixedly at Chen Dachang.
At this time, the emperor had already collapsed on the bed, unable to breathe freely, and could hardly even speak.
Chen Dachang sneered.
Concubine Xue Gui stepped forward and kicked Chen Dachang over, "Old dog, what are you laughing at?"
Chen Dachang continued to laugh loudly, "Our family is laughing at my mother's stupidity."
"presumptuous!"
The soldiers punched Chen Dachang again.
Chen Dachang spat out a mouthful of blood, stared wide-eyed, and looked at Concubine Xue Gui, "Your Majesty is seriously ill, and the princes have not yet returned to the capital. For the sake of the country, how can we not issue an edict to pass on the throne earlier."
Concubine Xue took a step forward and directly stepped on Chen Dachang's finger, "Tell me, who will His Majesty appoint as the crown prince? Where is the imperial edict?"
Chen Dachang laughed, "Madam, have you ever thought that the crown prince appointed by His Majesty may be King Zhao?"
"What did you say?" Concubine Xue Gui's face was full of surprise, shock, ecstasy, panic, and confusion.
Suddenly, she snapped angrily, "You're lying."
Chen Dachang laughed, "Is your mother in a hurry? If the name of the king of Zhao is written on the imperial edict, all your mother is doing now is to hand over the throne that she has already obtained. Haha... you mother and son, really Disappointing His Majesty."
Concubine Xue Gui suddenly turned her head and looked at the Son of Heaven.
The emperor's eyes widened, and his throat made a whirring sound.
Concubine Xue Gui rushed to the bed and asked sharply, "Your Majesty, is what Chen Dachang said true? Did you really issue an edict to pass on the throne? The crown prince you appointed is really King Zhao?"
The emperor's eyes were cold, and he could only make whirring noises, but could not speak complete words.
"Your Majesty, talk!" Concubine Xue Gui shook the emperor's body.
Chen Dachang roared loudly: "Madam, you hurt His Majesty's throat, and His Majesty can't speak anymore."
Concubine Xue paused her hands, turned her head to look at Chen Dachang, her eyes were fierce, "Tell me, where is the imperial edict?"
Chen Dachang laughed, "Your Majesty and King Zhao forced the palace to rebel, and the imperial decree has been invalidated."
Concubine Xue was furious, "Absurd! The crown prince appointed by His Majesty himself is now at a time when people are in panic, and it is time to come out to stabilize people and control the situation. Chen Dachang, are you really going to be a traitor who will bring disaster to the country and the people
If you are loyal, and you are not willing to see the Great Zhou Dynasty be wiped out, then you will hand over the imperial edict, and I will spare you. "
Chen Dachang shook his head, "King Zhao is not worthy to be the crown prince."
Snapped!
A slap hit Chen Dachang's face hard.
"It's not your turn to question whether King Zhao deserves to be the heir. Since His Majesty has made King Zhao the heir, then he is the heir." Concubine Xue Gui was so imposing that she wanted to kill Chen Dachang to vent her anger.
Chen Dachang chuckled, "Your Majesty, has it never occurred to you that our family may have lied to you. If His Majesty appoints a crown prince, why didn't the courtiers get any news?"
Concubine Xue stared at him in amazement, "What do you mean by that? You were the one who said His Majesty made a crown prince, but now you are the one who said that His Majesty did not make a crown prince. You duplicitous eunuch, are you Are you playing tricks on me? Believe it or not, I ordered you to be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs."
"Our family dare not play tricks on your empress. It is a matter of great importance to the crown prince. Even I know very little about it. Your majesty is arbitrary. Whether or not a crown prince has been established, who has been established as the crown prince, and where is the edict to pass on the throne? Only His Majesty knows."
"Do you think I will believe you?" Xue Guifei smiled coldly, "If you dare to play tricks on me, I will make your life worse than death."
"Why do concubine mother talk nonsense with him?"
With the sound of armor, a group of blood-stained soldiers walked into the bedroom.
The leader is none other than King Zhao.
Behind King Zhao is King Yan.
King Yan was wearing armor, and blood was still dripping. Obviously, after a bloody battle, they came to Xingqing Palace.
"You guys are here!" Concubine Xue Gui was surprised, "Blood on your body?"
"Mother and concubine don't worry, it's all other people's blood." King Zhao walked into the bedroom and kicked Chen Dachang over. "This old man is obviously playing tricks on us. It's better to kill him directly."
Concubine Xue Gui hurriedly stopped him, "I can't kill him yet. I haven't got the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom yet, and there is no Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom on the imperial edict, which is not legal."
Zhao Wang had a gloomy face, "So what if there is no Chuanguo Yuxi, anyone who dares to refuse to accept it will kill him."
Concubine Xue Gui said: "Killing people can only be taken care of for a while, there is no need to solve everything by killing people."
Governing the country cannot rely solely on killing people.
If King Zhao wants to secure the throne, he still needs the support of his courtiers. Kill everyone, who will do things.
King Zhao smiled, "The matter is simple. If he doesn't say anything, then the punishment will be executed until he speaks out. Someone, I will punish Chen Dachang in front of the emperor today."
Chen Dachang laughed loudly, "King Zhao, rebellious ministers and thieves will be punished by heaven."
Snapped!
King Zhao's hand strength is not comparable to that of Concubine Xue Gui. With a slap, Chen Dachang's cheek was swollen directly.
"Pull out his nails, I don't believe he can hold it."
The soldiers pressed Chen Dachang to the ground, and one of the servants took out tools and laughed, "Eunuch Chen, I have offended you. If you can't stand it, just tell me where the Jade Seal is, and our family will stop. What do you think? "
Chen Dachang struggled, but to no avail. The soldiers pressing down on him were so powerful that he couldn't move at all.
The servant began to torture, Chen Dachang wanted to bear it with perseverance, he would rather bite off his tongue than make a sound.
"Gag his mouth, don't allow him to bite his tongue."
As soon as King Zhao gave an order, someone stuffed a ball of rags into Chen Dachang's mouth, stuffing it up to his throat. Make sure he doesn't get a chance to bite his tongue.
"Eunuch Chen, if you can't take it anymore, just nod your head, and our family will stop immediately."
Chen Dachang's eyes were red, he shook his head frequently, and refused to hand over the Jade Seal of Chuanguo even to the death.
The servant who executed the punishment chuckled and didn't care.
Chen Dachang can withstand one nail being pulled out, can he withstand two or three
Ten fingers to heart, not just talk.
Three nails had been pulled out, but Chen Dachang still didn't let go.
This Concubine Xue took a step forward and signaled the people around her to take out the rag from Chen Dachang's mouth.
"Eunuch Chen, are you willing to say it?"
"Bah! You can kill or cut whatever you want."
Concubine Xue Gui smiled coldly, "I didn't expect Eunuch Chen to be quite courageous."
Chen Dachang was covered in cold sweat, and his hair was wet with sweat, strand by strand.
He chuckled, "Our family belongs to His Majesty, and we only obey His Majesty's orders. You rebellious officials and thieves, want to get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, just dreaming."
Concubine Xue laughed loudly, "Do you really think that no one knows where the Chuan Guo Yuxi is except you? Bring someone here."
Shen Changshi was dragged in with a pale face. His leg was broken and he could only lie on the ground.
Chen Dachang saw him with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
"You, why are you here?"
Shen Changshi put his hands on the ground and his upper body, and finally sat up.
He smiled at Chen Dachang, "Win the king and lose the bandit, that's the way it is."
"Eunuch Shen, you said you know where the Chuan Guo Yuxi is, are you serious?" Concubine Xue asked with a smile.
Shen Changshi nodded, "I want to tell you, Madam, I do know where the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom is kept."
"Impossible!" Chen Dachang flatly denied, "It is impossible for you to know where the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom is."
Shen Changshi raised his eyebrows and said, "Eunuch Chen, you have always looked down on our family and even sent people to watch over our family. Do you think that our life will be over if we take refuge in Concubine Li De? Haha... You think our family only has Concubine Li De Can the road be walked? Wrong! When you secretly inspected the Chuan Guo Yuxi last time, you must have never thought of our family hiding in the dark and peeking."
"You, how dare you!" Chen Dachang couldn't believe it.
Shen Changshi touched the broken leg, and it hurt him to death.
Just because his reaction was a little slow, his legs were broken by these soldiers.
Grandma, if it weren't for people who had to bow their heads under the eaves, he wouldn't want to cooperate with Concubine Xue.
However, Concubine Li De was finished, he could only choose to seek refuge with Concubine Xue.
He grinned at Chen Dachang, "Why didn't our family dare? Our family was supposed to be promoted to a servant last year, but you blocked it, and Lao Hu was promoted instead.
What kind of shit is Lao Hu, except that he is older than our family, how can he compare with our family. Our family has worked in the position of regular servant for so many years, and we have made countless contributions and hard work. It is our turn to be promoted to the position of servant.
It is because of you, you are jealous of our family, that I have not been promoted. You sent people to watch me, wouldn't I send people to watch you? "
Shen Changshi had a half-smile, with mocking eyes, "This staring, I didn't expect to find out something extraordinary. The Imperial Concubine, the Chuan Guo Yuxi is in this room."
Xue Guifei looked excited, "Where is it?"
Even King Zhao's breathing became urgent.
Shen Changshi raised his hand and pointed to the empty wall, "Just behind that wall, there is a secret compartment. The Chuan Guo Yuxi is in the secret compartment."
"Shut up!" Chen Dachang broke out in cold sweat, "How dare you betray His Majesty, you should be hacked into pieces."
Shen Changshi laughed, "I just know the current affairs as a hero. Eunuch Chen, you blocked my promotion last year, so you should have thought of the consequences today."
"You have to die."
"Even if I die badly, I'm still stronger than you who are about to die."
"Don't talk nonsense. How do you open the secret compartment?" King Zhao asked sharply.
Shen Changshi said: "The mechanism to open the secret compartment is behind the three paintings. There are three raised dots. Press them at the same time to open the secret compartment behind the wall."
King Zhao couldn't wait to rush to the empty wall.
Several servants took down the painting, and sure enough, they saw three raised dots on the wall.
They put their hands on the dots, and they only need to give an order to press the mechanism.
