White Tiger Kingdom, Royal Palace.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Hu walked into the imperial study hurriedly.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Lie raised his eyes and glanced at Eunuch Hu displeasedly, "What makes you so panicked?"
When Eunuch Hu heard Xuanyuan Lie's question, he knelt straight on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has passed away."
As Eunuch Hu spoke, he lowered his head to the ground and began to cry.
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Lie stood up suddenly, stepped in front of Eunuch Hu, grabbed his shoulders and shook him, "Isn't it time to ask questions? Why did he suddenly die?"
When Eunuch Hu saw Xuanyuan Lie in such an emotional state, he did not dare to hide anything and immediately replied, "The jailer who was guarding the Heavenly Prison just now came to report that the eldest prince committed suicide in the Heavenly Prison."
Eunuch Hu's voice was a little sad. No matter what the eldest prince was, he was the emperor's biological son, and he had watched him grow up, and now he was gone like this.
When Xuanyuan Lie heard this, his figure swayed and he almost sat back on the chair again. He gripped the edge of the table tightly, looking a little dazed. how come? How could he commit suicide?
Seeing the blank look on the emperor's face, Eunuch Hu said worriedly, "Please express your condolences!"
After a long while, Xuanyuan Lie came to his senses, raised his eyes and looked at Eunuch Hu, "Where is he now?" Xuanyuan Lie's voice was very soft, even slightly trembling.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hu immediately bowed and said, "I sent someone to send the eldest prince back to Gyeongbokgung Palace."
Xuanyuan Lie was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his expression became dazed again.
Seeing Xuanyuan Lie's brows furrowed, Eunuch Hu's heart was pounding, and he immediately kowtowed and said, "This slave is good at making opinions, please punish me."
Xuanyuan Lie came back to his senses after hearing this and waved his hand, "You did a good job." Logically speaking, She'er was demoted to a commoner and should not return to Gyeongbokgung Palace, but now that everyone else is dead, how can he still return? Accounting compares these.
"Show off at Gyeongbokgung Palace." After all, it is his child, and he should send him on his last journey.
"yes."
At this moment, Xuanyuan She's body has been carried to the center of the main hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace by two jailers. Because of the uprising, Xuanyuan She's concubines and concubines were all thrown into the sky prison. Now only Some palace maids and eunuchs.
When the maids and eunuchs of Gyeongbokgung Palace saw Xuanyuan She's body, they all knelt down with sad faces.
"The Emperor has arrived!" The eunuch's voice came from outside Gyeongbokgung Palace.
When the palace maids and eunuchs heard this, they immediately wiped away their tears and turned towards the palace door together.
When the two jailers heard the singing, they immediately knelt down.
As soon as Xuanyuan Lie entered the main hall, he saw Xuanyuan She lying motionless in the center of the main hall. His eyes instantly turned red, and his hands and feet became extremely stiff, and he could not even move forward at all.
There was obviously only two or three steps away, but Xuanyuan Lie walked for a full quarter of an hour.
Looking at the lifeless Xuanyuan She lying there, tears instantly filled Xuanyuan Lie's eyes, and he raised his trembling hand to touch Xuanyuan She's cold face. Why? Why did he commit suicide? In fact, he never thought about his death. He even thought about replacing him with a death row prisoner. Why is he so anxious?
He turned around and glared at the two jailers with a furious look on his face, roaring, "What do you do for food? Why don't you take good care of him? Why do you let him commit suicide?"
Hearing Xuanyuan Lie's roar, Eunuch Hu was so frightened that he knelt down. Although the emperor demoted the eldest prince to a commoner and imprisoned him, he still loved the eldest prince in the end. After all, the eldest prince was his eldest son. When the eldest prince was born, the emperor gave him a general pardon, so he was named Xuanyuan She. How much the emperor liked the then eldest prince.
The palace ladies and eunuchs all trembled and lowered their heads when they heard the roar, and the two jailers even shook their heads. A jailer said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, have mercy on me. The eldest prince was fine before going to bed last night. The servants don't know why he suddenly committed suicide?"
Another jailer heard this and said with a trembling voice, "The eldest prince was indeed fine before going to bed last night. He also had dinner and showed no signs of committing suicide. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness last night I went to Tianlao to visit the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was fine when His Highness left."
When Xuanyuan Lie heard this, his eyebrows suddenly rose. Mo'er went to see She'er. Could it be possible? Mo'er is kind-hearted and would never do such a thing.
"This matter ends here. No one is allowed to mention the fact that the Crown Prince visited the eldest prince again!" Xuanyuan Lie said as he raised his eyes and glanced at the two jailers and the palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground.
After hearing this, everyone immediately leaned over and lowered their eyes and said, "I obey my orders."
Turning around, he once again took a deep look at Xuanyuan She's remains, "Cheng'en, please arrange a grand burial!"
He didn't want Guo Huier to come, and he didn't want his mother to send him on her last journey. How many people in this world could bear the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person away!
"Yes, I will make arrangements right now." Eunuch Hu said as he stood up and left the main hall.
Fighting against the Prince's Mansion.
Yu Feng hurried into the study and knelt down on one knee, "Your Highness, the eldest prince has passed away."
Xuanyuan Mo, who was reviewing official documents, heard this and broke his pen. The pen and ink instantly stained the entire memorial.
Glancing at the conspicuous ink marks on the notebook, Xuanyuan Mo frowned and asked, "When did it happen?" His voice was cold, like the wind and snow pouring into his collar at night.
"Just last night." Yu Feng frowned unconsciously when he heard this.
Xuanyuan Mo's frown deepened when he heard this. It should have been after he left last night.
"Cause of death." The voice was a little colder than before.
"It is said that he committed suicide." Feeling the chill on Xuanyuan Mo's body, Yu Feng immediately said respectfully.
"Kill yourself." Xuanyuan Mo snorted coldly when he heard this, and a cold light flashed in his amber eyes. When he left yesterday, there was no sign that he was going to commit suicide.
Hearing Xuanyuan Mo's disdainful snort, Yu Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and then he lowered his head and said, "This matter also seems fishy to me. Do you want me to send someone to investigate?"
When the prince left last night, the eldest prince was still fine. As soon as the prince left, the eldest prince committed suicide. If the eldest prince did not commit suicide, then someone must have wanted to frame their prince.
Xuanyuan Mo heard a sneer on his lips, "No need, do I know who it is?"
Besides her, who else could do such a thing without anyone noticing in the prison? She was very careful in her beating. Not only could she kill Xuanyuan She, but she could also frame the blame on him. It was really a plan to kill two birds with one stone! It seems that he and she have to settle their accounts.
Yonghe Palace.
Zhou Manyun lazily leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, glanced at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, and lightly opened his red lips, "How about it, what is the emperor's reaction when he knows that Xuanyuan Mo went to the Tianlao last night?"
When the young eunuch heard this, he immediately leaned over and said respectfully, "Your Majesty did not react at all. He only said that this matter would end here, and ordered the servants not to mention it. He also ordered Eunuch Hu to bury the eldest prince with a lavish burial."
When Zhou Manyun heard this, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and then a sneer appeared on his lips. Is he really partial to that scoundrel? Knowing that that evil bastard killed that good-for-nothing Xuanyuan She, he still remained indifferent!
"You go down first!"
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the little eunuch immediately stood up and retreated.
After the little eunuch left, Zhou Manyun looked at Lian'er beside him and ordered, "Go and recruit Xiaoluzi to me."
"Yes." After hearing this, Lian'er immediately bowed and retreated.
Zhou Manyun looked at Lian'er's back and narrowed his eyes slightly. That woman's precious son was dead. As a sister, she had to send her a letter no matter what.
Le'an Palace.
In front of the dressing table, Guo Huier raised her hand and gently stroked her long hair in the mirror, with a sad look in her eyes. In just one month, her black hair turned into a full head of white hair, and her originally well-maintained face had begun to grow. Wrinkles, is this still her? Is she still the Queen Guo Huier who once controlled the harem alone?
The door of the room was pushed open with a creak, and there was a sound of footsteps in her ears, but Guo Huier still stared at herself in the mirror without looking back. Now, only her personal maid Wen Yi can enter here.
"Slave, please see the Queen."
Not hearing the familiar voice, Guo Huier turned her head in confusion. Seeing the strange little eunuch kneeling on the ground, Guo Huier frowned slightly, "Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, the little eunuch immediately lowered his head and said, "Slave Xiaoluzi, the Queen, don't you remember me? I used to serve the Queen in Le'an Palace."
Guo Huier's eyes flashed slightly when she heard the name Xiaoluzi. She seemed to have heard of this name before. Raising her eyes and taking a closer look at the path where she was kneeling on the ground, Guo Huier frowned and said, "Is this how you came in?"
Not just anyone can enter Le'an Palace now, not even her She'er. She hasn't seen She'er in more than a month.
Xiaoluzi's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he reached out and quietly pinched his thigh, causing pain that made his eyes immediately turn red.
"Empress, I have been favored by you in Le'an Palace before. Today I risked my life to enter Le'an Palace to report to you."
Listening to Xiao Luzi's slightly choked voice, Guo Huier frowned unconsciously, "What kind of letter are you reporting?"
Xiaoluzi didn't say anything when he heard this, but started to cry first.
Guo Huier looked at Xiao Luzi who was crying and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Seeing the panic in Guo Huier's eyes, Xiao Luzi choked and said, "Queen, your father, General Guo, was killed, and the Guo family was wiped out."
Hearing this, Guo Huier stood up suddenly and stared at Xiaoluzi in disbelief, "How could it be possible? How could it be possible? How could his father be killed? Why was the Guo family wiped out again?"
What a severe punishment it would be to destroy the nine tribes! Could it be that his father is plotting rebellion?
Before Guo Huier could think about it, Xiao Luzi immediately replied, "Prince Zhan wronged General Guo for treason and personally beheaded General Guo. The Emperor not only ordered the destruction of the nine Guo family clans, but also made Prince Zhan the crown prince."
"What?" Guo Huier shouted immediately after hearing this, a pair of triangular eyes instantly burst out with a light of resentment, "That scoundrel actually became the prince. How could it be possible? The position of prince can only belong to She Er."
Hearing Guo Huier mention Xuanyuan She, a glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Luzi's slightly drooped eyes, and he started to cry again, "The Queen. Not only is General Guo gone, but also the eldest prince..." Before he finished speaking, Xiaoluzi was already crying.
