The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 9 Forcing the Palace
As the death knell sounded, the whole Dayou couldn't be calm anymore.

Although it was midnight, the entire capital was awakened by the death knell of the emperor's death.

All the houses and houses took out the sackcloth and white sails, lit white lanterns and hung them in front of the doors.

Some are sad and sad, and some are secretly happy, but these emotions are only for a moment.

The death of the high and mighty emperor would not have much impact on their miserable lives.

Sigh, let's continue to sleep, after all, we will have to worry about our livelihood tomorrow, and there is really no need for extra emotions to lament for a dead emperor.

The emperor's palace in the north of the capital was covered by the majestic altars built around it, making it look very dark and cramped.

The entire palace was quiet, only the emperor's bedroom was lit with lights.

Nan Zhu climbed up the steps, skipping the court ladies and eunuchs who were kneeling outside the hall enduring mosquito bites.

Pushing open the door of the palace, a stench of stench rushed in, the wind that followed outside blew out a few candles, and the room became even darker.

The emperor's body was covered with a crumpled quilt, with a withered hand drooping beside the bed.

The old eunuch who served him was stabbed with a bloody hole in his chest, fell to the side and swallowed, and the pills he took every day were scattered all over the floor.

The eldest prince Jin Xiao, dressed in fine clothes, stood beside the bed, staring at the several princes and princesses who were kneeling down with a gloomy expression.

Nan Zhu's intrusion broke the tense and strange atmosphere in the room. Everyone seemed to be relieved, and seven or eight pairs of eyes looked at Nan Zhu in unison.

The second prince Jin An got up and ran towards Nan Zhu, "Little Master, you are here. Father is dead, what shall we do?"

Nan Zhu dodged to avoid Jin An who was rushing towards him, and looked directly at the eldest prince whose face was flickering.

The red lips curled slightly: "Is the eldest prince's action fast? As soon as the death knell rang, he brought his younger siblings to fulfill his filial piety."

Jin Xiao, with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, was sweating profusely, his face was flushed red, but his words were a little false: "After the national funeral, I will ascend the throne."

Nan Zhu snorted coldly and squinted at him, only to see that his eyes were full of panic and dodge.

Knowing that his family's plot is wrong, he has coveted that position for a long time, and when the master is healthy, he can still control the balance of several forces.

Trying to hang the emperor's life is to pave the way for Jinbo.

The master has only been in a coma for more than a month, and they can't wait, they can do such stupid things.

Let the neighboring countries know that the emperor of Dayou is dead, and if they don't rush forward to carve up the land of Dayou, I am afraid that the general of Zhu Kingdom will not be able to stop it.

It's not a big deal whether the emperor is dead or not, it's fine to keep it secret, but it's really stupid to announce it to the world.

The roots of his ears moved lightly, sensing that there were many guards ambushing in the dark, and blamed himself for focusing on Jinbo recently and ignoring the situation in the palace.

However, she still didn't cooperate, and was always against herself. Not all of this was for her, but she was responsible for the current situation.

Unknowingly, Jin Bo took the blame again and took the throne of the catastrophe of national subjugation and calamity.

Nan Zhu flicked his sleeves and was about to leave to clean up the mess.

"Since that's the case, I won't say much, I think your family has already made sufficient preparations.

The death knell has sounded, and it won't be long before this big quiet place will be lively.Since the eldest prince is going to ascend the throne, please cherish it yourself. "

Without waiting for Jin Xiao to reply, he turned and left, but was grabbed by Jin An who was at the side.

"Little national teacher, please allow me to help you prepare for the sacrifice. The father and emperor will be in mourning, and the ceremony of the sacrifice should require manpower." His voice trembled, and his eyes were full of prayers.

As soon as these words came out, the kneeling people also said together: "We are also willing to help the little master prepare the sacrifice together."

Jin An held Nan Zhu tightly, for fear that he would be left here.

He watched helplessly as his elder brother stabbed his father's eunuch to death, and forced his dying father to write him an edict to pass on the throne.

He was watching when the father died. The elder brother would do anything in order to ascend the throne. It is not impossible to kill him.

As soon as the father died, the eldest brother brought all the younger siblings here, clearly to eliminate hidden dangers and punish them.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he never thought of competing with his big brother for that position.

I am also a cheap leg, so I go there because I can't digest food, but I come to the emperor's bedroom. I don't come once in 800 years, and when I come, I bump into my big brother and force the palace.

Now that the big brother is bound to win, he should try to save his life first.

Nan Zhu frowned, because he wanted to delay for some time to sort out the current chaos, and wait until things were straightened out before he could bring Jin Bo back.

Glancing at the eldest prince Jin Xiao, with so many princes and princesses, this position is not something he can sit on if he wants.

It's better than him to help Jin Bo over. At least they are obedient, and it's not difficult to keep them.

Turning around, he said to Jin Xiao: "What does the eldest prince think, let the other princes and princesses prepare for the sacrifice with me."

Jin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at his brothers and sisters who were overly frightened and knelt together with some embarrassment.

He is in a panic now. Grandpa clearly said that nothing will happen, but he killed someone and forced his father to death.

Today, he just came to serve the sick according to his grandfather's order, and let his father pass the throne to him by the way.

Unexpectedly, the father was annoyed, and scolded him for being ambitious, unfaithful and unfilial. He overturned the father's drug case in a fit of anger, but at this time Jin An also came to join in the fun.

The eunuch actually said that he was rebellious, and he had no choice but to kill him if he wanted to announce to the world that he should be deposed as prince.

Now that his father is dead, he must sit in that position. It doesn't matter whether he has an edict or not. With his grandfather helping him, all he has to do is to hold on.

Looking at the sobbing and tearful siblings again, he felt that there was not much threat to him, so he nodded and agreed to Nan Zhu to take them away.

As if they had received an amnesty, they got up quickly, surrounded Nan Zhu and quickly fled the bedroom.

The palace door was closed from the outside, Jin Xiao suddenly felt empty and silent, and retreated involuntarily, wanting to stay away from the two corpses.

A thin old man stepped out of the darkness, his narrowed eyes were shining brightly.

Somewhat regrettably said: "Your Highness is too merciful, they should all be killed. Such a good opportunity will be difficult to come by in the future."

Jin Xiao pretended to be calm, flicked his sleeves, and said to the old man with red eyes.

"You are teaching me how to do things? Don't forget that I am the one who can take the big position."

Without changing his face, the old man walked towards Jin Xiao step by step.

"Your Highness, don't forget how hard-won this moment is today. Since you have chosen this path, you must have the courage of a superior.

In order to sit in that position, your father killed all his brothers and sisters.

In order to consolidate the position, none of the concubines who gave birth to the prince died well. Do you still remember how miserable your mother and concubine were when they died.

If you want to sit firmly in that position, you can't be indecisive. "
