The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 328
imperial decree?The Empress Dowager looked back at Ji Jin suspiciously, Emperor Chen had just passed away, when did he write down the imperial decree?

"Long live my emperor..."

All the ministers lowered their heads and touched the ground, only to see the Grand Duke in front of Emperor Chen slowly approaching with a scroll of imperial edicts in his hands, and his face also had a bit of doubtful depth.

"By God's fortune, the emperor ordered the day. I boarded the plane when I was young, and it has been dozens of springs and autumns. I can feel God. I also think that good heirs and talented people will come out in large numbers in the country. Gu Te established the heir to consolidate the country. The second son of the emperor, the Japanese are wonderful , the talent is pure and beautiful, the ceremony is carried out, the public opinion is bowed, and I would like to tell the world. On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Chen, Zirui was granted the treasure of the book, and he was established as the crown prince, and he was in the East Palace. With the hearts of the world, the grand ceremony is complete, hereby."

The Grand Duke only felt that every word was pounding in his mind.Until his voice gradually dissipated outside the huge palace, everyone obviously didn't react, they just felt that all this was in a dream.

What does it mean to grant the second prince a book of treasures and make him a prince? !Where did today's prince come from?And this imperial decree was actually written 20 years ago when Emperor Chen was in power!
"Fu De, where did this decree come from?!" The queen mother was the first to recover from the shock. Who would have known that the grand duke actually had tears in his eyes, looking at the queen mother with deep meaning, and the craving Weeping as if unable to utter a thousand words, he finally cried out in grief, "Your Majesty! The slave is going with you!"

As soon as these words came out, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, quickly and ruthlessly wiped it towards his throat, killing him on the spot!

"what?!"

All of a sudden, there was noise outside the palace. No one thought that Eunuch Fu De would follow His Majesty, and his suicide seemed to show that the matter was not simple.

Eunuch Yu looked at the corpse lying at his feet with lingering fear. They had a good friendship, but today he didn't think that Fu De would be in such a catastrophe.He picked up the imperial decree that had fallen on the ground and handed it to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother looked at the familiar handwriting on the imperial decree and the seal of the imperial seal at the end in disbelief. This imperial decree is true!
The vision in front of her eyes gradually became gloomy, and the figure of the queen mother swayed, and she felt as if a pair of invisible big hands were tightly grasping her throat.Who is leading all this behind the scenes, why did this imperial decree appear in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty after the emperor's death?

At this time, the surroundings immediately became quiet.

On the left and right sides of the corridor, two tall and straight figures appeared.

Dongfang Xu's eyes flickered slightly, he looked up, and saw Dongfang Rui, his second brother, who was also looking at him at the other end.

The queen's words reappeared in his mind again, Dongfang Xu opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say a word.

The imperial edict from 20 years ago seems to have slowly revealed all of this.The amputated legs of his mother's queen, the Mei'er that his father said before his death, and the master poisoner who ambushed him in the forest, connected all the clues together.

So, does his second brother also know everything?

……

above the hall.

Now the crown prince Dongfang Xu's identity is very embarrassing, and he appeared so late, causing many ministers to feel dissatisfied and act accordingly.Regarding the imperial decree written 20 years ago, it was used to make a big fuss.

Some people say that this is a conspiracy to deceive everyone for 20 years. In fact, the emperor wanted to make the second prince the crown prince, but he was replaced by someone with a heart, and the emperor was afraid of the power at that time, so he finally chose to compromise. , this rumor is aimed at the Nalan clan headed by Empress Chen.

Some even said that the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Mei, was murdered by Empress Chen back then.In order to let her prince ascend to the crown prince, the empress framed her, and in the end, she cut off the diplomatic relations between Chen Kingdom and Lian Kingdom.

As for the one who knew the truth back then, now only the Queen Mother is left, but even if the Queen Mother said something, it would be difficult to stop Youyou's mouth.

There are more and more rumors that are unfavorable to the prince, and the voice of supporting the second prince Dongfang Rui is also rising.

As for Eunuch Fu De who committed suicide, everyone believed that he committed suicide for the sake of pleasure because he exposed the truth back then and was afraid of being threatened.

The queen mother was furious, angrily reprimanded several officials, and then announced her withdrawal from the court. She seemed to be buying time to investigate the truth, and did not give an explanation to everyone.

In the palace, there were two men standing in front of them.

Their bodies exude a different chill, and no one dares to look over here.

Dongfang Rui imagined countless scenes, when all these happened, what would the emperor brother say to him.But he didn't expect that facing him now would be more uncomfortable than he imagined.

He knew it was useless to explain, now that the emperor's father is gone west, and the queen mother is like this, it must be normal for the elder brother to resent him, right?However, Dongfang Rui had to admit that he was always aware of the undercurrent and never reminded the emperor and the queen.

Is this his selfishness?Perhaps, it was the unyielding blood in my heart clamoring.

He wanted to know how different he was compared to his brother Huang.

But things were developing towards the worst. He felt that perhaps the brotherhood between the two would be broken.

"The Queen Mother arrives—"

The queen mother returned to the palace, her cold eyes were tightly locked on Dongfang Rui.For a long time, because of her deep hatred for what Concubine Mei did back then, the Queen Mother has always ignored Dongfang Rui, and it can even be said to be disgusted.Fortunately, he didn't look like Concubine Mei, otherwise the queen mother was afraid that she would not be able to help but order someone to kill him secretly.

Although, he is also the flesh and blood of the emperor.

"Grandma..."

The two saluted at the same time, but the Empress Dowager looked deeply at Dongfang Rui.

"What does the second prince think of this imperial decree?"

Dongfang Rui straightened his back, but lowered his head, "The grandson is terrified."

The queen mother just looked at him like that, as if trying to guess something from his calm expression?Does he know?Does he want to fight for the crown prince?
Because the Empress Dowager remembered that Emperor Chen really wanted to give the position of crown prince to Dongfang Rui, but was stopped by herself.When did the emperor write down the imperial decree without telling himself, and who has it been kept for so many years, and now it is brought out?

But the queen mother was clearly full of doubts, but she couldn't move Dongfang Rui.

Nowadays, there are many people in the court who favor the second prince. If something happens to the second prince at this juncture, it will definitely cause instability in the court.

Doing so can only be counterproductive, so the Queen Mother had to put away her sad emotions, and kept thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Let Dongfang Rui give up by himself?The queen mother sneered in her heart, it was useless to do so, because those people in the court tried their best to recommend the second prince, even if he wanted to retreat, everyone would say that he was forced.

There must be a way to bring everything back to peace, and if there is one, that would be great.

"What does the prince think?"

Dongfang Rui's eyes moved, and he waited quietly for the man beside him to speak.

There was no wave in his steady voice, "Grandson, you must live up to your father's expectations." A simple sentence revealed all of Dongfang Xu's determination.What he meant was that he knew that there were many obstacles ahead, but he wanted to keep his position as the prince and make up for the big mistakes he made.

And Dongfang Rui also heard that Brother Huang was telling himself that he would never back down, even at all costs.

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, then put away her emotions and looked at Dongfang Rui, "Second prince, I hope you can fully support your brother, and it will not be in vain for the queen to teach you for many years." She also wanted Dongfang Rui to know that if He has the slightest thought about the position of the crown prince, first of all he must completely defeat the emperor brother who grew up with him, the matter is not so easy.

"Grandson always remember the teachings." Dongfang Rui lowered his head, and an obscure light flashed in his eyes.

Afterwards, the vigilant man stepped back, and the queen mother sighed softly.

"It's time to get rid of Concubine Mei."

The Empress Dowager only felt that she had made an irreparable big mistake. She had already thought about it a long time ago, so why did she hesitate to do it?She would forget how she let that bitch go in the first place.

By the way, it seems that the emperor tried his best to protect him, and he didn't want to hurt his mother-child relationship, so he turned a blind eye.Because the queen mother also knew that the emperor would not forgive Concubine Mei's actions, even if she was in his heart, he would imprison her forever, just keep her like this.

Now that the emperor is going west, he has no obstacles anymore, but if he wants to move Concubine Mei, is it still too late?
During these years in the cold palace, I never thought that I could cover the sky with one hand now, that bitch, I really underestimated her.No, it should have underestimated Lian Guo.

The Lian Kingdom that sent that bitch back at the beginning must have been uneasy and kind. They have never asked whether the princesses of the country are alive or dead all these years. The Queen Mother would think that the Lian Kingdom gave up this pawn, but she did not expect that she underestimated them. .

The reason why the Lian Kingdom is feared by others is their inestimable strength, which can be seen from Concubine Mei's 20 years of keeping a low profile.

"Prince, how do you plan to deal with that foreign princess?"

The Empress Dowager knew that these unsettling factors could no longer be allowed to survive.

"Grandmother, let her go."

"What? Maybe the person who assassinated you was sent by Yi Kingdom! Prince, you can't be merciful at a time like this!"

Dongfang Xu recalled the look in Xiyue's eyes at that time, and he never thought that the other party would actually help her.No matter what thoughts she was using, Dongfang Xu knew that he owed her a favor, so there was no reason for him to die.

"If it wasn't for her, I'm afraid my grandson would still not be able to stand in front of the imperial grandmother."

"Prince, you don't know..." The Queen Mother looked deeply at Dongfang Xu, for fear that he had taken the initiative to fall in love with Duke Yi, just like Emperor Chen.With the lessons learned from the past, if the prince really has feelings for Xiyue, then he will never make a second mistake again!
