In the palace.
Rong Jiu strode towards the royal study room quickly.
The palace people I met on the road all respectfully paid their respects.
Now that the Crown Prince and the Queen are both under house arrest, His Majesty has delegated many tasks to His Highness the Third Highness. Everyone can see that the world of this imperial capital is about to change.
But seeing that Rong Jiu's face was tense, it seemed that something was important, and the palace people did not dare to say anything more.
Rong Jiu walked quickly, feeling full of annoyance.
After all his calculations, he didn't realize that Situ Xingchen was also in the Queen's Palace at that time!
If he had been more careful at that time, he would definitely have discovered something was wrong, or if he had taken a step forward and opened the screen, he would have discovered Situ Xingchen!
But - he didn't!
Things were going so smoothly in the past few days that he was so careless that he forgot about this person's existence!
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that there are mysteries everywhere!
Situ Xingchen and Rong Jin made an engagement, and even after Rong Jin's accident, he never asked to terminate the engagement.
This is not a conspiracy, so what is it!
Situ Xingchen must know something to be willing to help the Queen and Rong Jin like this!
He actually never thought of checking Situ Xingchen before!
Before she reached the royal study room, Rong Jiu heard a sudden burst of hurried footsteps in front of her.
He looked up and saw Emperor Jiawen walking in the front.
Emperor Jiawen's expression was gloomy and fierce that he had never seen before, with a strong murderous aura!
Rong Jiu was shocked - what happened again!
"My son has met my father!"
Rong Jiu stepped forward quickly and bowed.
Emperor Jiawen frowned when he saw Rong Jiu:
"Why are you still in the palace?"
At this point, Rong Jiu should have already left the palace.
Rong Jiu immediately said:
"Father, my son has left and returned. There is something important that I want to inform you immediately!"
However, Emperor Jiawen continued to move forward without stopping.
"If you have any questions, please wait until I come back!"
As he spoke, he had already passed Rong Jiu.
Rong Jiu was stunned: What's going on? !
"Father, my son is really in an emergency—"
"Hey, Your Highness, you'd better wait first!"
Eunuch Min walked to Rong Jiu, raised the dust in his hand, and persuaded her earnestly.
"Have you not seen how anxious His Majesty is now? In short, His Majesty must have neither the mind nor the time to listen to what you have to say at this moment! Just wait patiently for now!"
Rong Jiu asked suspiciously:
"I would like to ask Eunuch Min to give you some advice. My father is in a hurry. What is he going to do?"
"You don't know yet!?"
Eunuch Min blurted out in shock, then quickly looked around, pointed to the sky, and lowered his voice and said:
"Didn't you see the movement just now?"
Rong Jiu was stunned for a moment and then understood.
"That news is."
"That's the news from the Imperial Mausoleum! Your Majesty, can you not be anxious!?"
Eunuch Min patted his thigh.
"Old slave, you have to leave quickly. Your Highness, you should take matters into your own hands first!"
After saying that, Eunuch Min immediately chased Emperor Jiawen.
Rong Jiu stood there, feeling another wave of emotions in her heart.
After talking to Chu Xianmin just now, he was filled with shock, anger and regret, and returned to the palace without having time to think about anything.
While walking on the road, he also noticed the huge fireworks.
Of course he knew that it was for sending a message, but because all his thoughts were on Situ Xingchen, he didn't even realize that it was a warning coming from the direction of the Emperor's Mausoleum.
This means something happened to the Emperor's Mausoleum!
Although Rong Jiu is not in the imperial capital all year round, he also knows that Sijin Peak, where the imperial mausoleum is located, has always been heavily guarded. It can be said that it is strictly guarded.
Now that this news suddenly came, he must be in big trouble!
It would be strange if Emperor Jiawen wasn't nervous and anxious.
Just when Rong Jiu was thinking about whether he should just go back to the Queen's Palace to take a look and confirm whether Situ Xingchen had been there, Emperor Jiawen, who had just left not long ago, was intercepted again.
This time, it was a guard wearing armor.
He came all the way in a hurry, looking panicked. He knelt down directly in front of Emperor Jiawen and shouted in a panic:
"Your Majesty! It's not good!"
Emperor Jiawen felt as if his head had been hit hard by something, and his brain hurt!
Oh no? !
Something happened to the Imperial Mausoleum, what could be worse than this!
"explain!"
Emperor Jiawen was forced to stand still and shouted in a deep voice.
The guard knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is dead!"
There was sudden silence all around.
Emperor Jiawen's expression suddenly froze.
Rong Jiu heard the sound and looked up, only to see that the guard was indeed the person responsible for guarding outside the Queen's Palace!
He just said that the queen is dead!
An ominous premonition surged in Rong Jiu's heart!
He took three steps at a time and quickly walked to the guard's side:
"What did you just say!? Say it again!"
The guard was startled by his sudden question and flinched before saying in a trembling voice:
"The Emperor, the Empress, committed suicide!"
"waste!"
Emperor Jiawen finally reacted and kicked the guard hard in the heart.
"Didn't I say that no matter what, I must take good care of the Queen!?"
The things the queen did, it wouldn't be a pity to die a thousand times over, but there were still many things he didn't want to know clearly. She died so suddenly, what should he do next?
"You! How on earth do you do things!"
The guard endured the pain and said tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, we have been keeping watch outside, and we will go in every half an hour to check. But, but, for some reason, the Queen has hit the wall. When we heard the noise, the Queen was already..."
They are actually very unjust!
The queen has been in the same state these past few days, even though she has endured very painful torture, she is still carrying it.
Who would have thought that she would think so suddenly!
She was determined, and the impact was so hard that her face and head were covered with blood, and her skull was almost cracked by the impact.
How could they have expected this
Emperor Jiawen was already very anxious because of what happened to the imperial mausoleum. Now when he heard the news, he felt the blood surge in his chest and abdomen, and then he vomited out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound!
"His Majesty!"
"Father!"
Eunuch Min and Rong Jiu both exclaimed in surprise.
Eunuch Min was standing beside Emperor Jiawen and quickly supported his shaky body.
"Your Majesty! You must take care of your dragon body!"
Against the background of the blood stains on the corners of his lips, Emperor Jiawen's face looked even paler.
He stared at the guard and asked word by word:
"Who has been to the Queen's Palace today!?"
He was convinced that the queen definitely did not commit suicide suddenly!
There must be a deeper reason for this!
An idea suddenly flashed through Rong Jiu's mind.
Could it be Situ Xingchen—
The guard's voice trembled slightly:
"Hi, your Majesty, only the Third Prince has been to the Queen's Palace today."
Rong Jiu was shocked! Suddenly looked at the guard!
