"Well!"
Mr. Xu really didn't notice this problem.
When I was at home, I didn't seem to get drunk many times. Then, Mr. Xu couldn't help but remember that his wife said that he was drunk once and almost became sworn sworn friends with his three sons.
However, right now, it seems that this is not the time to talk about these things.
"Fourth brother, did the bell ring for a while just now?"
"Uh, it seems so!"
Zuoqiu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, "Yes, there was a bell ringing, but I didn't pay attention to how many times it was!"
"Come on, come on!"
Before Mr. Xu could speak, Zuoqiu shouted first.
Soon, the servants outside rushed in.
"How many times did the bell ring just now?"
"Ten, eighteen mourning bells!"
As this man spoke, Mr. Xu and Zuoqiu's expressions changed.
Then, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu, who were still sleeping soundly, were woken up.
The mourning bell rings eighteen, this is the death of a princess!
In the Tang Dynasty, when a princess died, the mourning bell would ring eighteen times, the concubine's would ring twenty-one, the prince's would ring twenty-four, the queen's would ring thirty, the queen's mother would ring thirty-three, and the emperor would ring thirty-six.
"The mourning bell rings eighteen, a princess has died!"
Zuoqiu immediately looked at Mr. Xu, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, there must be something going on over there in the Yamen. I'll go back first!"
"I send you!"
Mr. Xu took off his clothes and put them on his body, then sent Zuo Qiu out.
…
The mourning bell rang eighteen, and the princess passed away sadly.
Many people are still guessing which princess died, but Mr. Xu knows it well.
The one who died was naturally the eldest princess.
He killed it!
I thought that assassinating the eldest princess would take some trouble, but the actual situation is that there is no trouble at all.
The eldest princess's room and courtyard have always been strictly forbidden for servants to stay.
This also provided an excellent opportunity for the assassination of Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu.
Although there were secret guards in the courtyard, facing Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu who were determined to kill the eldest princess, these guards hiding in the dark did not even have a chance to take action, so they were killed by Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu. solved.
Mr. Xu didn't know if there was someone lurking in the dark, so he didn't show his true face from beginning to end. Even when the two of them took action, their legs were bent from beginning to end.
Therefore, the two of them were suddenly a head shorter than they are now.
In this way, even if there are still people lurking in the dark, it is impossible to see through the figures of Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu at once.
What's more, last night, when the two took action, Boss Xu was still drinking with them in the house.
No one knows that Boss Xu has another skill, which is ventriloquism.
He can easily imitate the voice of anyone he hears, not only vividly, but he can even play multiple roles.
When Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu left the house, Mr. Xu played three roles by himself.
As for the servants in the mansion, they could clearly see the three figures in the room through the lights in the room, but they used some small props.
And this is Mr. Xu's ability.
His mother taught him shadow puppetry when he was a child.
Originally, the whole plan still had some flaws. For example, the three of them were drunk in the house and no one could prove it.
But Zuoqiu's intrusion completed this link.
All I can say is that this is God’s help.
…
The death of the eldest princess is undoubtedly a major event that shocked both the government and the public.
When Emperor Yongping received the news, he thought that his aunt had finally died and would not continue to trouble her.
However, when the chamberlain reported that the eldest princess had been murdered, Emperor Yongping's face became extremely ugly.
"Who did it?"
"Jie, the way of luck!"
The chamberlain who reported the news spoke in a low voice, "According to the report from the female guard hiding in the secret room, they are two people from Jie Yun Dao. They are less than five feet tall. One uses a knife and the other uses a whip."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess was hanged from the rafters by the man with a whip!"
"Useless little maid!"
Emperor Yongping overturned the desk in front of him and said, "Since my aunt has gone underground, she will definitely have no one around to serve her. Let all the lowly maids from Duke Dingguo's palace be buried with my aunt!"
"What about Duke Dingguo and his crown prince?"
The chamberlain asked cautiously.
Emperor Yongping looked at his chamberlain fiercely, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The chamberlain was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
Before Emperor Yongping said anything, an announcement from the chamberlain came from outside.
Emperor Yongping could only suppress the anger in his heart and shouted: "Get out!"
After listening to Emperor Yongping's words, the chamberlain really rolled out.
When he first saw such a scene, Emperor Yongping, who was originally furious and wished that his servant would be chopped down, suddenly smiled.
After working on it for a long time, this is a fool.
Although he was still dissatisfied with the servant's stupidity, Emperor Yongping's murderous intention had faded away.
Not long after, the Queen Mother entered the Qiantian Palace.
"My son has met his mother!"
Emperor Yongping walked towards the dragon chair and met the Queen Mother at the entrance of Qiantian Hall.
"Your Majesty, what happened with your aunt is true?"
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yongping eagerly.
"After returning to my mother, yes, my aunt was indeed killed. It was the revenge of the remnants of the Luck Path!"
――――
"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely avenge my aunt!"
"no, do not want!"
After hearing what Emperor Yongping said, the Queen Mother spoke urgently.
"Why?"
Emperor Yongping was stunned and looked at the Queen Mother blankly.
"Your Majesty, if the Jie Luck Dao can kill the eldest princess, it can kill you!"
"Don't provoke the fate of calamity again!"
"What are you talking about, Queen Mother?" Emperor Yongping frowned, "Before leaving, Emperor Father specifically told his ministers to treat their aunt well. My aunt is closely related to the destiny of our country, the Tang Dynasty. Now that my aunt is killed, I will not avenge her. How can I see my father under the Nine Springs?"
"Eunuch Lan, can you leave for a moment?"
The Queen Mother did not directly answer Emperor Yongping's question, but looked at Eunuch Lan who had been standing by her side.
Eunuch Lan gave a slight salute and said: "This slave has been ordered by the late emperor to deceive the Holy One. Unless the slave dies, he will not leave the Holy One."
"The Queen Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it. You can treat this slave as a wooden figure, unable to see, hear, or speak!"
"this… "
The Queen Mother looked at Eunuch Lan and finally had no choice but to compromise.
However, she still found a compromise.
Eunuch Lan was still guarding the Qiantian Palace, but she wrote down what she wanted to say on paper.
In this way, you can avoid Eunuch Lan's eyes and ears.
Emperor Yongping looked at the passage written by the Queen Mother and was completely stunned. He sat down on the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, do you understand now?"
do you understand
The Queen Mother's words echoed in his ears, but Emperor Yongping seemed to be stunned.
