As soon as the emperor's angry words came out, Empress Dowager Xiaojing fainted on the spot.
"Queen Mother!" Nanny Chen shouted.
Long Chi's face was as pale as paper, and his mind went blank. He thought he had heard wrongly, but when he saw the pitiful looks cast on him by everyone present, he knew that he had heard right. The emperor's uncle really gave the order. Deposed his position as prince.
Long Chi felt dizzy and his shoulders slumped.
He... the situation is over.
The other ministers were also frightened into silence at this time. The emperor's angry voice could still be heard, and no one dared to step forward to speak to Long Chi.
Soon, a group of imperial guards came over and detained Long Chi.
Long Chi had come to his senses at this moment, his handsome face was pale, but his eyes were filled with cold hatred.
He glanced at the closed carriage and secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would make the emperor's uncle kneel at his feet and pay a heavy price for his hasty decision today.
And Lu Liangwei…
Long Xiao, who was on the side, watched Long Chi being taken away by the imperial guards, his eyes flickered.
He really didn't expect that the imperial brother would depose Long Chi as the crown prince in such a thunderous and swift way.
Did Long Chi really want to assassinate the emperor's brother? Or is it that the emperor has long wanted to be deposed and is looking for an excuse
This fact is somewhat confusing.
And the emperor's thoughts were getting deeper and deeper.
A few days ago, the emperor's brother discussed matters with him, but did not reveal any clues.
Today...
He and the staff behind him looked at each other, feeling shuddering, and all thoughts in their hearts were suppressed.
Could it be that the emperor's eagerness to depose him had something to do with Lu Liangwei
Maybe Lu Liangwei already had the emperor's brother's heir in his belly, so he was eager to oust Long Chi from the throne
When Long Xiao was puzzled, he suddenly heard Zhao Qian calling him.
"King Xiangyang?"
He looked up and saw that the eunuch who had just scolded the assassin was looking at him with a smile on his face.
He was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Eunuch Zhao, is there something wrong?"
"The trouble is not with our family, but with the emperor. The emperor was angry with the prince just now, and is still weak at the moment. He sent our family over to tell you that the queen mother is unconscious. She will go to Jiuhua Temple by the King of Xiangyang. You’re here to escort me.”
The Queen Mother is going to Jiuhua Temple
Long Xiao suppressed the doubts in his heart and responded, "Manager Lao Zhao tells the emperor that I will deliver the Queen Mother to Jiuhua Temple in a safe manner."
"Our family will definitely convey the words of King Xiangyang." Zhao Qian said, turned around and walked towards the emperor's carriage, but muttered, "The Queen Mother is old and devoted to Buddha. This Jiuhua Temple is a The Queen Mother will definitely like this quiet place.”
When Long Xiao heard this, his heart suddenly became clear.
It seems that once the prince fell, the emperor's uncle no longer tolerated the Queen Mother Xiaojing. This clearly meant that he would be sent to Jiuhua Temple to become a monk.
No matter what Long Xiao thought in his heart, since the imperial brother asked him to escort the Queen Mother Xiaojing to Jiuhua Temple, he could only obey.
The remaining assassins were all executed, and those who survived were also captured and escorted back to Beijing by the Forbidden Army, and then handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial.
After the prince was deposed, on the way back, the ministers and women's family members were all trembling with fear.
The emperor's thunderous wrath was so frightening that no one dared to criticize it.
I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen during this autumn hunt. First, Concubine De angered the emperor for no reason and was sentenced to death. Now, the prince was deposed, and the unconscious Queen Mother Xiaojing was sent directly to Jiuhua Temple.
