The reborn king is ferocious

Chapter 278 The mastermind behind the scenes
Empress Xiao looked at the spitting son in front of her, her eyes were cold and strange: "What does Prince Yi think?"

The prince was stunned for a moment, the empress Xiao's gaze made him quite uncomfortable, but thinking of the expert saying that he had to use the air of a king to suppress the empress Xiao and let the courtiers see the bravery and determination of the prince. After becoming a reliable Mingjun, his courage multiplied and he straightened his back.

"King Yu has not been in court for many years, and now the situation is changing rapidly. I am afraid that it will be difficult to adapt. It is better to go back and enjoy the wealth and glory. Why do you have to work so hard and suffer yourself? As for the mother, although the prince is filial, how can the father drive you?" The matter of the collapse must be strictly investigated... I also ask the mother to be considerate. When the truth comes out, if the Dali Temple does not let people go, the prince, as the king of a country, cannot engage in favoritism. If nothing happens, the prince should be filial and honor the mother The Empress Dowager takes care of her life. Grand Master Xiao is old, and the Crown Prince really can't bear to make him work so hard, so I will send someone to replace him..."

The prince is trying to cross the river and demolish the bridge?
Those ministers knew that the crown prince was going to deal with Empress Xiao this time. One heard that he had the handle that would definitely win Empress Xiao, and the other was that after Xiao was powerful, the country would eventually return to the surname Luo. Who would not give it to the crown prince?

Therefore, at this critical juncture, although many people were not optimistic about the prince's ability, they believed that the new king must be him, so they took refuge in the prince's side.

Now that Luo Xiuyuan had passed away for sure, and Empress Xiao had something unclear about it, it was logical for the crown prince to ascend the throne next.

But those people did not expect that the crown prince wanted more. It turned out that he not only wanted soldiers, power, and the throne, but also the lives of Empress Xiao and King Yu!

Being so ruthless is indeed the true nature of Luo Xiuyuan's son who wants to ascend the throne.

But the Xiao family is powerful, and with the backing of King Yu, how could it be possible for him to become powerful overnight, let alone kill his mother.

King Yu handed over the military power, but Grand Master Xiao returned the heavy army, even if he and Empress Xiao were not so intimate, after all, they were his own daughters, and blood was thicker than water.Moreover, Empress Xiao holds great power in her hands to give the Xiao family various guarantees. Grand Master Xiao will never sit idly by and let the prince mess around.

At this time, everyone discovered a very strange thing. Empress Xiao recently relied heavily on King Yu and let him sit here, Grand Master Xiao also showed dissatisfaction.

But there are many eyes and ears in Grand Master Xiao's palace for such an important event today, why didn't he appear?
When the prince mentioned Grand Master Xiao, Empress Xiao and King Yu also realized something was wrong. Could it be that the prince is so confident today because Grand Master Xiao is behind his back?
No, although Empress Xiao is not easy to control, it is obviously more useful for the immature prince. Even if Grand Master Xiao wants to support a puppet, it is absolutely unwise to incite the prince and Empress Xiao to fight to the death when the overall situation is uncertain Yes, he shouldn't be so stupid!
So where is Grand Master Xiao at this time, and what is he doing?
Empress Xiao said sharply: "Prince, do you know what you are talking about and what you are doing? There is no reason to suspect that this palace is already disobedient and unfilial. I think that you are the crown prince and you are still young, so just ignore it. You Who was this instigated to seize King Yu's military power, and still want to deal with Grand Master Xiao? Someone, take this disobedient son under arrest!"

There was silence in the great hall, Empress Xiao frowned slightly, and after the Crown Prince was frightened for a moment, he immediately became complacent again.

"The queen mother doesn't need to shout, this place is already under the control of the prince. The prince finally advises the queen mother that women are only suitable for self-cultivation in the harem, and those important government affairs should be left to the men."

King Yu couldn't bear it and said: "His Royal Highness, this country will be yours sooner or later. The Queen just wants to straighten everything out so that you can ascend the throne safely. Why don't you even have this little trust? Your own biological mother is desperate?"

The prince said angrily: "Hmph, it's too late to talk about your own biological one now! Now that we're talking about this, the prince doesn't want the last piece of fig leaf. This is all forced by you. All the ministers, I think you all know that Empress Xiao The iron-blooded wrist has always been strict and harsh to this prince, and kindness is hard to find. This prince has always thought that she wanted to temper his son... But the truth turns out that this prince was not born by her at all, but she was born by her in order to stabilize the future. It’s just a way for an envoy to deceive others.”

As soon as these words came out, the horrified ministers were dumbfounded.

The prince was heartbroken and said: "Originally, the prince thought of her kindness in nurturing her for many years, and didn't want to expose this layer, but she hooked up with King Yu, killed her own sister, and forcibly robbed her nephew as her own. Heaven and earth cannot tolerate such a person with vicious thoughts. He even wants to usurp the throne... This prince can't bear it anymore, even if he owes the favor of nurturing, he must not let this country change his surname!"

Wasn't the prince born to Empress Xiao himself?The news was like a bolt from the blue.

According to what the prince said, he was born to Empress Xiao's sister... Some old officials recalled that such a thing did happen more than 20 years ago.

Empress Xiao has a sister who is not inferior to her in beauty, but has a much gentler temperament.

The relationship between the two sisters is very good. For a while, the elder sister frequently went to and from the palace. It was widely rumored that Luo Xiuyuan took a fancy to her and planned to take her in as a concubine.

Later, it was reported that my elder sister contracted a cold and was sent out of the capital by Grand Master Xiao for treatment. Half a year later, news of my elder sister's death came, and that was the time when Empress Xiao gave birth to the crown prince.

Hearing that Empress Xiao heard the news, regardless of her postpartum weakness, she burst into tears and insisted on offering incense to her sister.

Empress Xiao is jealous, could it be that Luo Xiuyuan and his sister had a secret entanglement, empress Xiao was angry, and before Luo Xiuyuan knew that her sister was happy, she sent her away in the name of curing the disease, and then pretended that she was also happy.

As soon as one died, the other gave birth, and Empress Xiao's stomach hasn't moved for several years after her marriage. It's such a coincidence...

With this analysis, what the prince said is somewhat credible.

But what happened between Empress Xiao and King Yu?

Killing her sister and seizing her son, being unfaithful to the former king, colluding with King Yu, murdering the former king to usurp the throne...any of them can kill Empress Xiao!
"Presumptuous!" King Yu took a step forward and glared at the prince, "Who told you this? It's a complete reversal of black and white. If you ask him to come out, this king will confront him, and you ministers will know immediately whether it's true or not."

Seeing that King Yu became angry from embarrassment, thinking that the former king had many conflicts with him when he was in power, and it was really suspicious that Empress Xiao would use him so much as soon as he took power. The ministers were more inclined to the prince's words in their hearts.

But the swords outside the hall are as bright as snow, and they are all the prince's men and horses.

Empress Xiao never believed that the always stupid prince suddenly became so capable, she sneered: "The prince is so brave and smart, it's time for your military advisor to show up."

The prince was a little guilty, and he said forcefully: "This is all the truth, paper can't cover fire, and I should have thought that one day the truth would come out when I did it. This prince has thought of the kindness of nurturing, and I will give you a choice. What you do is up to you. It's gone."

When did Empress Xiao receive such a threat?It was rare for her to look proud, no matter what the prince said, she would not move, and she still had an aura that no one could shake.

The prince couldn't help beating drums in his heart, thinking to himself that this was his best chance, looking at the outside situation, Xiaohouwang's people must have been controlled, arrogance was just a bluff, right?

This hateful woman, the prince can no longer bear her pointing fingers at him.

If she is obedient, she can live for a few more days, otherwise, even if she dies at this moment, the prince will not give up even if the country's hatred and family hatred are combined.

Seeing that Empress Xiao didn't make a statement, the prince waved his hand, and a guard entered the palace to escort Empress Xiao away. King Yu glared at each other angrily: "The prince is confused, and you all want to do whatever you want? Whoever dares to touch the queen, I will kill him immediately."

King Yu's jade-like handsome face was full of anger, and the guards dared not move forward.

At this time, there was a brisk smile from outside the hall: "My sister really has a good way to make King Yu so willing to work for you. Now that you are surrounded by all sides and can still calm down, my sister really can't accept it."

The rings were tinkling, and the court ladies lined up and filed in, filling the murderous palace with a faint fragrance.

Concubine Jia's palace attire is rigorous, and the flame-like red sets off her snowy muscles and bones, and her figure is graceful.

The prisoner, who was supposed to be in the prison, suddenly became radiant, and stepped into the palace as a victor, and everyone was amazed.

Empress Xiao had expected it a long time ago, looked at the prince mockingly, and said with a pun, "Finally someone can't bear the loneliness and is eager to jump out."

Concubine Jia didn't mind that Empress Xiao ignored her. She saw Luo Xiuyuan who had been dead for a long time on the bed. The once strong body and the face that made her heart flutter had been deformed and discolored. She couldn't help feeling sick.

However, as Luo Xiuyuan's favorite concubine, under the current situation, she had to put on a good show for everyone to see.

Concubine Jia stepped back three steps, widened her beautiful big eyes, and immediately filled with tears, she fell to the ground and crawled to Luo Xiuyuan's bed, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, open your eyes and look at this concubine. Ah. The concubine risked her life to see you... You said that you liked the concubine in the wedding dress the most, and the concubine wore this red dress, just to wash away the bad luck for Tianqiong, to save Tianqiong. Your Majesty shares your worries and solves your problems. But Your Majesty, why don't you answer your concubines? That's not what you said in the secret decree to your concubines, Your Majesty. What do you ask your concubines to do?"

The crown prince also came to such an event just now, but since Concubine Jia was favored in the past, and she was crying heartbroken, compared to the crown prince Luo Tianyuan, it was much more touching.

However, everyone's attention was on the secret decree she said.

Did the previous king leave a secret decree?What is written on the secret decree?I just want Concubine Jia to come out to meet, but I still feel something is wrong, and want to teach her how to deal with Empress Xiao?
Everyone turned their minds to guess what secret decree Luo Xiuyuan passed on.

Regardless of Luo Xiuyuan's intentions, the fact that he wanted to bring Concubine Jia out of prison at this time showed that Concubine Jia was still the most beloved woman in the hearts of the former kings.

Empress Xiao's eyes flashed, and she caught the loophole in Concubine Jia's words and said, "Your Majesty has never woken up. Where did the secret decree come from? Concubine Jia, how did you escape from prison and pass on the secret decree falsely? It's all a capital crime!"
