Situ Yan opened his eyes in shock:
"Rong Xiao! Are you crazy!?"
The queen is the mother of a country, and after her death, a national funeral will be held!
As her son, Rong Jin should observe filial piety for three years!
Even if there is an urgent reason, it will take at least a year to make sense!
A month? !
Isn't that equivalent to getting married in the queen's coffin?
Do you still want this face? Do you want this reputation anymore?
If this is really done, not only Rong Jin and Situ Xingchen will be labeled as treasonous, but the reputation of the entire Yaochen Kingdom royal family will also be affected!
"You are shameless, I, Situ Yan, want more!"
Now that he knew that Rong Jin was not the true chosen one, how could he agree to continue fulfilling the engagement
Situ Xingchen is the apple of his eye, his proudest and most beloved daughter! How could you marry a deposed prince like Rong Jin!
Wouldn’t it be over for the rest of my life
Seeing Situ Yan's furious look, Emperor Jiawen felt relieved.
This old guy keeps scheming and scheming, but in the end he shoots himself in the foot!
He must get this round back no matter what!
"You were the ones who proposed this marriage. Are you going to break the contract now?"
Situ Yanqi's liver hurts.
"So what if we break the contract!?"
They would definitely be criticized if they broke off their engagement as soon as something happened to Rong Jin.
But even so, it's still better than having Situ Xingchen stuck in it for the rest of his life!
Emperor Jiawen leaned on his chair.
He was exhausted from the torment of things during this period, but now that he saw Situ Yan being so angry, his mood finally relaxed a little.
"There is no need to discuss this matter. The engagement remains as usual! One month later, Situ Xingchen will get married in the imperial capital. Don't worry, Rong Jin is my son after all. I will definitely let the people below manage this wedding in a glorious manner. !”
Situ Yan's vision went dark and he almost fainted.
"Rong Xiao! You! You—"
He had made up his mind to keep Situ Xingchen here until his wedding to Rong Jin was completed!
"Rong Xiao, don't go too far! Don't think that our Xingluo Kingdom is afraid of you!" Situ Yan took a deep breath to calm himself down and said with a gloomy face, "Elder Zong Ye is still in Xingluo now. If he knows that you Do this."
"Who are you threatening?"
A trace of ridicule appeared on Emperor Jiawen's face.
"Elder Zong Ye is very powerful, but do you think it's enough just for him to show up?"
"Don't forget, Elder Zong Ye represents Mingyue Tianshan!" Situ Yan's eyes turned red.
"You can invite people from Mingyue Tianshan, can't we?"
Situ Yan was startled, and then he remembered that Rong Xiu had also stayed in Mingyue Tianshan for many years.
Although outsiders thought that Rong Xiu was just a sick man, he once heard Situ Xingchen mention that Rong Xiu was actually not as rumored.
The most important thing is that Rong Xiu has stayed in Mingyue Tianshan for so long. If he is willing, he can naturally find a backer!
Maybe even more powerful than Elder Zong Ye!
Using this as a threat has no effect at all.
Veins popped up on Situ Yan's forehead.
He has never been so humbled and humiliated!
"Rong Xiao, do you really want the two countries to go to war!?"
Situ Yan said word by word in a deep voice!
Emperor Jiawen raised his eyes slightly, folded his hands in front of him, and smiled.
"Situ Yan, do you dare?"
"Your Highness, your tea."
"Come in."
Squeak—
The door was pushed open, and a young man in gray clothes walked in with a cup of tea and carefully placed it next to him.
Rong Jiu is cleaning the knife.
He was very focused and took every step very seriously.
This knife is actually just an ordinary knife, but he has always cherished it.
Because it was the knife he used when he killed his first person on the battlefield.
That was the first time he cut off someone's head with his own hands. When the blade fell, he could harvest the other person's life in an instant.
Thick, fishy blood splashed all over his face.
Many people have varying degrees of reactions after killing someone for the first time, ranging from nausea and vomiting to nightmares.
But he didn't.
On the contrary, he only felt happy!
After all these years, this knife is still as sharp as ever.
"Your Highness, this tea won't taste good when it gets cold."
The boy reminded him respectfully.
Rong Jiu paused and glanced at him.
"Please use it slowly. The younger one will leave first."
After saying that, the boy quietly left and closed the door.
Rong Jiu's eyes fell on the cup of tea.
He put the knife in his hand next to him, picked up the tea, stood up, walked to a bonsai, and poured all the tea into it.
Then, he groped for the bottom of the tea cup and clicked it gently.
Click.
An extremely thin layer popped open and a piece of paper fell out.
It turns out that there is a tiny mechanism hidden at the bottom of this teacup!
Although the piece of paper was very small, the writing on it was very clear.
"Everything is ready!"
Rong Jiu was certain in her heart. With a move of her fingertips, the piece of paper was crushed and completely turned into powder.
With a slight lift, it dissipates with the wind.
Chu Ning has been so busy these days that she has not even returned home.
Chu Liuyue did not go back to the academy, but stayed alone at home.
After the news of the queen's death and the prince's deposedness came, she had a vague premonition in her heart.
The arrival of Situ Yan confirmed her suspicion.
- Emperor Jiawen already knew that Rong Jin and Situ Xingchen secretly followed him that day and entered the imperial mausoleum.
This incident became the straw that broke the camel's back, and Emperor Jiawen finally made up his mind to take action.
The Si family seemed to have been implicated as well, with many people dismissed from their posts and some even imprisoned.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is definitely related to the Queen.
The entire Si family didn't resist at all. They just accepted everything silently and kept a low profile.
The position of the head of the four major families is shaky.
But this is not what Chu Liuyue is most concerned about.
She just felt something was strange.
Since Emperor Jiawen knew that Rong Jin and Situ Xingchen went to the imperial mausoleum that day, he would definitely find something along this clue.
The queen's death was most likely related to Situ Xingchen.
But until now, there has been no news.
On the contrary, the third prince Rong Jiu was thrown a basin of dirty water for nothing, and the rumors became more and more intense.
Almost everyone believed that he was the one most involved.
Emperor Jiawen is not stupid. If he really wants to investigate, he will definitely find something.
But now he actually allowed this matter to develop
I heard that Rong Jiu has also been placed under house arrest.
No matter how much she thought about it, Chu Liuyue felt that something was wrong.
And although the pyramid is on her body now, she still doesn't know what it is.
After thinking about it, I have no clue.
Finally, Chu Liuyue decided to go to Qijiao Alley again in person.
The queen must know something. Now that she is dead, Situ Xingchen and Rong Jin can't ask, so why don't she go and find out for herself.
However, when she arrived at Seven Corners Alley, she saw corpses all over the ground!
Those are the Imperial Guards guarding the complex!
Chu Liuyue's heart sank and she immediately pushed the door open and entered!
The bloody bronze tripod that was placed in the middle of the courtyard has disappeared!
I have to go out at noon, and the rest will be updated later. Can you all watch it together in the evening
