The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 1076: Did the Imperial Master get what he wanted?

A thunderclap woke Tao Zhen up. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost dawn and Pei Zhan hadn't come back yet.

Tao Zhen knew that Xia Yangcheng was in chaos recently, and there was no telling when something would happen.

Sure enough, not long after, he heard panic sounds outside. Tao Zhen put on his clothes, went out and grabbed a maid and asked what happened. The maid also woke up in the middle of the night, so she didn't know anything.

Tao Zhen followed everyone to the door. The gate of the Prince's Mansion was surrounded by people, wearing armor and carrying swords.

Tao Zhen looked at the non-stop rain and suddenly understood.

Something happened in the palace.

She couldn't sleep because she was worried about Pei Zhan. People in the prince's mansion were in panic. Everyone couldn't sleep and waited in silence, praying for the prince's safety.

They can only survive as long as the prince lives. If the prince dies, then they will only die.

The sun rises, and the air is filled with water vapor. The flowers and plants in the garden are wilted by the heavy rain, and there are still many petals left on the ground.

Despite this, Tao Zhen still felt that the trees were greener, the flowers were more colorful, and even the sky was bluer than usual.

When the sun rose to its highest point, the troops at the door also withdrew, but no one said a word to them.

The people in the mansion were a little panicked.

Someone said: "Since the troops have withdrawn, everything should be fine."

"Yes, it's okay. Your Highness must be okay too."

"Your Highness is blessed with great fortune."

Everyone encouraged each other, as if what they said really became the truth, but no one knew what the truth was.

Someone went out secretly, but there was no one on the street. All the people coming and going were the army, so they turned back in fear, but fragmentary news had already spread that Prince Cheng's Mansion had been raided.

A few days later, the death knell of Chu State rang, and King Cheng killed his father and forced the palace.

Everything happened incredibly quickly. It was already half a month later when Tao Zhen saw Pei Zhan. By this time, King Cheng had already escaped under the cover of his men.

The Emperor of Chu is now in the Ling Palace, and the prince is supervising the country. He will choose a good day to ascend the throne within a month.

Pei Zhan lost weight, and his complexion has not been very good since he came back. He was in a similar state to when Emperor Dashun ascended the throne, and the atmosphere was so dull that it made people breathless. "What's going on?" Tao Zhen asked quietly.

Pei Zhan shook his head, but refused to say anything. He only told Tao Zhen to pay attention to his safety and never go out.

Tao Zhen always listens to advice and stays in the mansion. The Chu Kingdom is different from Dashun. Whoever ascends the throne as emperor has no impact on Tao Zhen. She doesn't care what people in the mansion say or discuss, but she didn't expect it. , and a bigger storm is coming.

The Emperor of Chu was buried soon, and the day for Li Xiuyi's enthronement had been chosen. Now everyone was busy. After finishing the burial of the old emperor, they started busy with the enthronement of the new emperor.

Even the people in the Prince's Palace began to prepare to leave one after another. Some people wanted to be sent away, while some people wanted to follow them into the palace to serve them.

Xiao Yan came once more. He got what he wanted, was in a good mood, and even had a few words with Tao Zhen.

Tao Zhen suddenly asked: "Master, I have something to ask you."

Xiao Yan was in a good mood and was a little more patient: "What?"

Tao Zhen said: "You said before that you could unravel the life-and-death contract on me, and the witch doctors of the southwestern tribe can also unravel it, right?"

Xiao Yan nodded.

Tao Zhen asked again: "Then the people who made the life-and-death contract are none other than you, right?"

"What do you ask for this?"

Tao Zhen smiled and said, "I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Xiao Yan nodded: "Yes."

Tao Zhen nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Xiao Yan frowned and looked at her, but Tao Zhen said something profound to him: "Now that the master's wish has been fulfilled, is it considered complete?"

Xiao Yan thought about this question seriously: "That's right, it's still a little bit worse."

Tao Zhen said: "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The master of the state takes care of himself."

Xiao Yan looked at her deeply for a while and finally left.
