The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 263 Zhao Sijin Proclaims Emperor

People in Dazhao didn't care much about the fire in Candle Yin Hall.

Xuan Jue just said this to Liu Yue, and then ordered the palace people to continue to play music and continue to dance, only to think that the fire in the Sixth West Palace soaring to the sky was the burning firecrackers in Youdu to celebrate the grand event of the Dazhao Festival.

Liu Yue panicked and ran out of Tonghua Terrace in a hurry without even inviting Fu An.

She rushed towards Candle Yin Hall, thinking of her master and the 'Emperor' whom she brought back with her own hands.

She was running extremely fast, which was in sharp contrast to the joy and leisure of the palace people in the East Sixth Palace.

But gradually, her pace slowed down.

A terrible thought grew in her mind. She stood at the head of the Yuhu bridge, looked up at the sky full of fireworks shining into the stars, and remained silent.

It was Zhao Sijin who asked her to give gifts to the East Sixth Palace at night; it was Zhao Sijin who ordered all the palace people not to follow her and stay in the palace; where.

How big is the fire in Candle Yin Temple?

Even Liu Yue who was standing at the bridgehead of the Imperial Garden of the East Sixth Palace could vaguely see the flames soaring to the sky in the west.

What consequences this fire will bring, Liu Yue knows all too well.

If Jiang Baixu was burned into a mummified corpse, then who else can use Jiang Mubai's bones to verify his real body?

Zhao Sijin asked all the palace people to stay in the Candle Yin Hall, how could he know that he wanted to silence them?
And she stayed Liu Yue because of the friendship between master and servant for many years, and because she can't live without someone she can't trust.

Since Zhao Sijin is determined to do this, what's the point of rushing back to the Candle Yin Hall now?

She knew that what Zhao Sijin did was crazy and inhumane, and those innocent lives were all burned to ashes just because of her thoughts and desires.

But what can she do?
Either stand unswervingly on Zhao Sijin's side, or rush back to the Candle Yin Temple to save Jiang Baixu at this moment, and he will be turned into ashes in the future.

She wants to live.She has no choice.

When she slowly returned to the Sixth West Palace, the fire in the Candle Yin Hall had already been extinguished.

Zhao Sijin sat paralyzed in front of the palace gate, holding in her arms a small body that had been burned dry, leaving only charred bones, in great pain.

Due to the water leaking and catching fire, the Candle Yin Temple was sprayed with a large amount of cold water by the water dragon at this time, and Zhao Sijin's clothes were already soaked through, sticking sticky to her skin.

Liu Yue took off her coat and put it on her body, squatted down and said in a low voice, "Master, I'm sorry"

Her eyes glanced at the skeleton from time to time, the strong smell of meat made Liu Yue feel like vomiting.

She saw Zhao Sijin weeping in a daze, crying as if her own child died.

After crying for a long time, people whimpered endlessly, and their shoulders trembled.

The palace people who came and went saw her so unmoved. After the birth, on the first day of the new year, what a painful blow to a mother to have such a thing happen?This night, no one in the West Sixth Palace is destined to sleep.

All the 47 palace residents of Candle Yin Palace were buried in the sea of ​​flames, and none of them survived. The gate of Candle Yin Palace had a key from the outside for some reason.

After the investigation by the criminal officer, the first place where the fire started was the dormitory where Jiang Baixu lived, so he and the two nurses died in the worst condition. They were burned to the bone by the flames, and half of the portraits could not be seen.

When this incident happened, the dissident ministers naturally suspected that the rumors had reached Zhao Sijin's ears, and that she had caused this tragedy with her own guilty conscience, so that there would be no proof.

But she missed a little bit.Scraping the bones to test relatives, even the bones that have been burned can be compared with Jiang Mubai's remains.

Three days after leaving the imperial court, led by Wang Daozhi, the internal assistant officer, and Lu Xiuqi, the commander of the imperial forest, thirteen court officials, big and small, surrounded the Yiyu Palace where Zhao Sijin moved to.

They kept clamoring outside the palace gate, asking Zhao Sijin to come forward and give them an explanation.

Liu Yue opened the gate of the palace, and Zhao Sijin came out with unkempt hair and dirty face, and stared at the crowd, holding back the tears in his eyes, "Go ahead, the emperor, you are going to cause trouble! These people surrounded Ai's bedroom , Are you going to force the palace?"

Wang Daozhi clasped his hands together, and said in a steady voice: "The former court had doubts about the identity of the emperor, and this matter must not be verified. However, there was a noise, and the emperor was burned to death alive. The ministers have to think about it. If the Queen Mother If you want to prove your innocence, please allow me to open the coffin for autopsy, open the coffin of the first emperor, scrape the bones and test the emperor's relatives, so as to solve the doubts in my heart and others."

"You are presumptuous!" Zhao Sijin pointed at Wang Daozhi with trembling fingers and scolded: "The emperor just went, and he died in a miserable state, yet you still want to scrape his bones? The mausoleum of the late emperor, you open the coffin to get the bones, don't you want to Let the late emperor's soul restless?"

Wang Daozhi sneered and said, "If the late emperor knew that the emperor who sat on the throne for the past few months was not his flesh and blood, he would be truly restless."

Zhao Sijin approached Wang Daozhi step by step, and said ruthlessly: "Are you questioning Aijia? What if Aijia doesn't allow you to test your relatives? What should you do?"

"I dare not question the Empress Dowager. This doubt is the suspicion of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, not just my subordinates. The current situation has reached the point where the Empress Dowager cannot refuse."

"Okay, very good." Zhao Sijin looked around, his eyes swept over the courtiers who were with Wang Daozhi like a sword, "Then Aijia asks you to wait, if it is verified, it proves that the emperor is from the first emperor, so what should we do? "

Wang Daozhi was sure that Zhao Sijin was scaring them, and wanted them to be accused of disrespect and think twice.

Not afraid of Zhao Sijin's threat, he said firmly: "If it proves that the emperor's blood is pure, I am willing to apologize with death."

The rest of the dozen or so officials agreed in unison, forcing Zhao Sijin into a situation where he had to nod his head in response.

Jiang Mubai's coffin was opened, and under the supervision of Wang Daozhi and his party, the imperial doctor scraped the bones and took the remains, and took Jiang Baixu's bone fragments from Jiang Baixu's coffin.

The courtiers of Youdu gathered in Yiyu Hall, and the imperial doctor began to verify it under the watchful eyes of everyone.

However, the direction of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations.

After repeated verifications, the blind date is enough to prove that Jiang Baixu is indeed Jiang Mubai's biological son.

All the courtiers were speechless, calling it impossible.But where is there room for them to refute?

Zhao Sijin set up the swordsman and axeman early in the morning and waited outside the hall. When she gave an order, the swordsman and axeman entered together and beheaded Wang Daozhi and his [-] ministers.

Blood was dripping all over the ground, and the rest of the courtiers knelt down together and said in unison: "The empress dowager is wise, get rid of treacherous thieves, and there will be no one who has a different heart in Youdu!"

Zhao Sijin sneered and said: "The emperor is dead, you can't live without a master for a day. Last night, Ai's family dreamed about the late emperor, and the late emperor entrusted Ai's family to take charge of the government and take good care of the country in Youdu for him. Do you have any objections? ?”

"I dare not."

Zhao Sijin took a deep breath, nodded comfortably, and smiled coldly.

Only then did Liu Yue, who was waiting by her side, realize that all of this was just a game of chess carefully laid out by Zhao Sijin.

The reason why she cried so bitterly holding Jiang Baixu's skeleton that day was because the skeleton she held at that time was not Jiang Baixu's, but Zhao Sijin's, who was only seven months old and died prematurely. One's own flesh and blood.

In the past, the child was born prematurely and died. It was Liu Yue who buried him in the ground with his own hands.

Zhao Sijin dug the child's bones out of the ground and threw them in the Candle Yin Hall to be burned.

And that fake Jiang Baixu didn't know what to do with her.

The hairs on Liu Yue's arms stood on end, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

Such a ruthless woman, who follows her by herself and knows so many secrets about her, will she give herself a way out?
Seeing the wide-open smile on Zhao Sijin's face, Liu Yue couldn't help but shudder, pursing her lips slightly, trying her best to contain her fear.
