Isn't it ridiculous that he still wants to act loyal and patriotic despite his intention to usurp the throne
"Don't even think about it!" he said, his voice extremely majestic.
The Seventh Prince raised his eyebrows: "So, the child is unfilial!" He was about to take out his trump card and order the troops. At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Slow down!"
It was as if time had stopped at this moment, and the voice carried a familiar arrogance and coldness, like a biting wind blowing from the cold winter, hitting everyone's hearts bit by bit. Then he saw outside the door of the main hall, a man dressed in white like snow, with black hair and cold eyes, like a jade-faced Shura coming out of a cold light scroll, slowly coming.
"Your Majesty!" A minister standing among the ministers trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief. The Queen Mother's face was pale, and her eyes were full of uncertainty. The Seventh Prince was shocked. He sent many spies and received the news that Fu Yunxi was really dead. Therefore, he did not doubt how the person who was about to be buried in the coffin suddenly appeared. Although he didn't understand how Fu Yunxi came back from the dead, the Seventh Prince also knew that the reason why he and the Queen Mother decided to take action was because Fu Yunxi was dead and there was no longer a threat from him. But now that Fu Yunxi appeared again, he suddenly had a premonition that he was about to be destroyed.
"Catch him!" the seventh prince shouted.
However, no one paid attention to him. His own men didn't move either. They were looking at Fu Yunxi.
The Seventh Prince became panicked. She was not the only one who felt something was wrong, but also the Queen Mother. She said: "Yun Xi, are you not dead? Why did you stay with so many guards? The Ai family is going to be scared..."
Fu Yunxi glanced at her coldly and said to the emperor: "The Xirong people have been defeated. General Cheng is now stationed at the city gate. The city is defended."
The Queen Mother staggered and could hardly stand still: "The Xirong people were defeated?"
The emperor put his hands on his hands and smiled: "I knew Cheng Lei could do it. Yun Xi, you have worked hard these days."
Listening to their conversation as if no one was watching, even a fool understood that he had fallen into a trap. The Queen Mother forced a smile and said: "That's great, Da Zong is finally safe and sound."
"The Queen Mother and the Seventh Prince colluded with the Xirong people, cooperated inside and outside, and collaborated with the enemy and treason. They will be thrown into prison and will be tried again at a later date!" After Fu Yunxi said this, the guards behind him swarmed up and captured the Queen Mother and the Seventh Prince. The Queen Mother struggled: "It's unfair! Your Majesty, it's unfair! You dare to touch the Ai family! The Ai family has no collaborators. King Xuanqing, do you have evidence!"
The seventh prince also shouted: "Uncle Wang, he said that we collaborated with the enemy and treason. Do you have any evidence?!"
Fu Yunxi said coldly: "Do letters from enemy countries count as evidence?"
Now it was the Queen Mother's turn and they were stunned. How could Fu Yunxi have their letters in his hands. Naturally, they didn't know what role Zhuo Qi played in it, otherwise they wouldn't be so shocked.
The Queen Mother howled unwillingly: "Let go of the Aijia, the Aijia is the Queen Mother! You are rebelling, aren't you!" She spent the rest of her life planning this matter. She hated the woman's children who became emperors, and the other who became powerful. The princes of the ruling and opposition parties have always been a thorn in her side. She was about to get rid of them, but failed at the last moment. How could she be willing to do so!
"Father, my son is wrong, my father! Please spare my life!" The seventh prince also shouted. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is a capital crime once committed, not to mention that he is the main culprit. He doesn't want to die. His ambition has not been realized yet, so how can he die? The emperor had always treated him very well, and if he begged for mercy, for the sake of their father and son, he would probably spare his life.
Unfortunately, the emperor did not say a word until the seventh prince and the queen mother were taken away.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." Fu Yunxi said.
"You did a good job." The emperor returned to his high position and looked at the trembling ministers below.
Crisis is a touchstone. At the critical moment, the loyal and the traitor stand up.
After cooperating with the drama for so long, it was finally time to settle the accounts.
Time, like running water, covered up all the undercurrents, and the capital returned to calm. If it were not for the public beheading three days later, people might even think that the Xirong people's attack on Da Zong, and the joint rebellion of the Seventh Prince and the Queen Mother were just a dream. But it turned out that it was not a dream. At the critical moment, the loyal and traitors stood up, and the emperor purged the ministers in the court and carried out drastic reforms. Those who had dissident intentions and formed factions with the Queen Mother and the Seventh Prince were all eradicated without leaving any room. For example, the family of King Wei was executed by nine tribes.
Zhuang Shiyang was also implicated in this, and was directly sent to the frontier to do hard labor. It was said to be hard labor, but the mountains are high and the rivers are long. How many people lost their lives on the long journey, especially people like Zhuang Shiyang who were used to living a comfortable life. . Sure enough, within a day, Zhuang Shiyang died of serious illness on the way. Even so, it is not obvious what happened. Han Yan didn't feel anything when he heard the news. She thought she would be happy because Zhuang Shiyang was her enemy in her previous life, who killed her mother and allowed his wives and concubines to bully her, but she didn't. She thought she would be disappointed because Zhuang Shiyang allowed her to live safely in the Zhuang Mansion for more than ten years and gave her a place to live, but she didn't. She just accepted this fact calmly. She suddenly discovered that even emotions were superfluous for the unimportant people in her life.
As for the evil deeds done by the Queen Mother, including the assassination of Concubine Jing in the palace, all were exposed to the world, and the people all sighed for the Emperor and King Xuanqing. The emperor saw that she was the late emperor's wife after all, so he gave her the whole body. The worst thing was the seventh prince. As a son, he drew a sword against his father. As a minister, he betrayed the king and communicated with the enemy. This was really the greatest evil. He was executed by Ling Chi and was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum after his death. On the day when the Seventh Prince Lingchi died, many people came to watch, but no one felt sympathy for the Seventh Prince. Just do whatever it takes to fight for the throne, but what is hateful is that he actually betrayed his own country. This is what makes the people most angry.
Han Yan did not go to see it that day.
Ji Lan said: "Miss, why don't we also go and take a look?" The seventh prince had done so many evil things to their young lady secretly, and he was finally punished. Evil people will be punished, so he felt bad, and he didn't go and take a look in person. How.
"If you want to go, just go by yourself." Han Yan smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he didn't look very happy.
Shu Hong glanced at Han Yan with some worry. Naturally, Han Yan would not be happy. Although the matter between the Queen Mother and the Seventh Prince came to an end, Fu Yunxi's cold poison was still not lifted. Watching the time passing by, Fu Yunxi's condition is getting more and more serious. How can Han Yan feel at ease. But they are not miracle doctors, so they can't help at all in this matter.
