When Xuanyuan Yuzhen got the news, it was already bright in the sky. He listened to the report of the man in black beside him and frowned and said, "Are you sure that the father and mother have left?"

The man in black looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and nodded seriously, "By the time my subordinates react, they have already left the city, and the Crown Prince, His Highness the Second Highness, and the Queen all died last night!"

Xuanyuan Yuzhen frowned when he heard the words of the man in black and said, "I can understand the matter of the deposed prince and the second son, but why did the empress die?"

"I heard that the empress died together with the deposed prince." The man in black looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's face and said respectfully, "The incident that happened last night was between your majesty and the imperial concubine. I know that all the parties present were threatened by His Majesty not to tell them, so by the time I got the news this morning, they had already left the city."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen listened to the words of the man in black, "No matter what, we still send people to protect them, at least when Nanchen passes through the territory, and he also wrote a letter to tell Emperor Xiaojing that it was his father and mother who went there. Nanchen, I hope Emperor Xiaojing will take good care of them."

The man in black looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's face and nodded seriously, "I understand, Your Highness may have any other orders."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the man in black and shook his head helplessly, "Let's wait until I discuss other matters with them."

The man in black glanced at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and then disappeared in front of him.

At the same time, Qingyan and Murong Jingxuan got the news, but Qingyan was always with Murong Jingxuan at this time.

Listening to Fengqing's words, Qingyan frowned and said, "The news was sealed so well that you didn't know the news until this morning!"

Fengqing looked at Qingyan and nodded seriously, "This is what the palace spies came out to tell us, otherwise my subordinates wouldn't know that such a thing happened!"

Murong Jingxuan looked at the expression on Qingyan's face and said helplessly, "What's wrong? Do you think why the mother-in-law would do such a thing!"

Qingyan looked at Murong Jingxuan and said with a smile, "This is the character of the mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law wants to leave, she will not let anyone know at all. And do you really think that the mother-in-law's character is superficial? Is it like what you saw?"

Murong Jingxuan looked at Qingyan and shook his head, "I don't think so, but we should write a letter to Ning'er and let Ning'er entertain them well when Nanchen comes."

Qingyan looked at Murong Jingxuan and shook her head, "Don't worry, Ning'er will get the news when Nanchen comes. We don't need to worry about this matter. We still care about the situation of the fourth brother now. Now the father and mother The concubine left, leaving this mess to the fourth brother, who doesn’t know how he will deal with it.”

Fengqing looked at the two of them and said respectfully, "If the master is referring to the deposed prince and the second highness, they are all dead, and the queen also committed suicide because of the prince's death."

When she heard this, Qingyan was surprised and said, "You mean all three of them died last night?"

Fengqing looked at them and still nodded respectfully, "Yes, they are all dead."

Murong Jingxuan listened to Fengqing's words and looked at Qingyan, "It seems that this matter is definitely not that simple. Is it possible that Father wants to hide these things from us?"

Qingyan looked at Murong Jingxuan and smiled and said, "If this is really the case, I can understand why the mother-in-law wants to leave. After all, the queen is dead, and there is only one noble concubine, Ding Shuqi, left, and Ningmu-concubine , if this is really the case, then at least the harem will be clean, and it can be considered that the mother-in-law helped the fourth brother handle something before leaving."

"Do you think Eunuch Pei will leave?" Murong Jingxuan looked at Qingyan and said with a smile, "But according to father's character, he will definitely take Eunuch Pei with him. After all, he has been serving father for so many years. On."

Qingyan looked at Murong Jingxuan and nodded seriously, "Let's go into the palace later and see what the fourth brother has to say about this matter. The world of Donghe has already fallen into our hands, and we have to see the rest. What does fourth brother want to do?"

Murong Jingxuan said, taking Qingyan into his arms, "You are right, now let's see what the fourth child wants to do. I definitely need a regent to play with."

Qingyan looked at Murong Jingxuan and nodded with a smile.

In the imperial study room, Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the imperial edict and jade seal left by Emperor Hongjia with a look of helplessness. Looking at the expression on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's face, Murong Jingxuan walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said helplessly, "Now Don't say anything else, my father has obviously given this country to you."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen nodded seriously after listening to Murong Jingxuan's words, "Anyway, this country will be mine sooner or later, but I didn't expect that my father would use such a method to ascend the throne and become emperor over me. Didn't I already say that when Will he be willing to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor after the second child's matter is resolved? In the end, he left the capital with his mother and concubine. We have no way of predicting what will happen on the way. Do you think they are too willful?"

Qingyan looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's face and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, the result of this matter is already like this. We can only choose to face it. Now that they have left, as the saying goes, 'The country cannot survive in a day.' Fourth brother Wujun, the most important thing is to find a day to ascend the throne."

Murong Jingxuan listened to Qing Yan's words and nodded seriously, "Fourth, what Xiao Yan'er said makes sense. The most important thing now is to find a day to choose to ascend the throne. After all, this is the big deal."

Murong Jingxuan looked at the two people and nodded seriously, "Of course I understand what you are saying. We can talk about this matter after the matter of the second son and the deposed prince is completed."

Xuanyuan Yukai looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, since your father has passed the throne to you, you might as well choose to deal with their affairs after you ascend the throne. In this way, you can give them two If they have enough face, they can no longer be buried as princes anyway. In this case, why not give them the status of prince? At least it has a good reputation among the people, right?"

Qingyan listened to Xuanyuan Yukai's words and smiled and said, "Xiao Liu said this, but the fourth brother has always paid attention to the issue of reputation. He is already very prestigious among the people. Do you really think he still cares about that?" Is it a word-of-mouth issue?"
