Chapter 252: Cannon Fodder Who Was Confiscated and Exiled at the Beginning 27
252, the cannon fodder who was confiscated and exiled at the beginning 27
Empress Xian received the note from the Prime Minister's wife, took a look at it, and threw it aside.
She is unable to protect herself now and is thinking all day about how to escape from the palace before the emperor dies.
I have no mood to care about the Prime Minister's wife.
"How's the digging of the cave going?" Concubine Xian asked her trusted palace maid.
The trusted palace maid said, "Your Majesty, there is a river outside the wall of the cold palace, and the hole has been dug to the riverside."
Concubine Xian frowned, "Is there a river outside the cold palace?"
The trusted maid nodded, "My Lady, there is a moat outside."
Empress Xian closed her eyes. Is God trying to kill me?
"Can't we just fill up the moat?"
The trusted maidservant asked, "? Madam, did you fill up the moat to avoid being discovered by the guards?"
Empress Xian also felt that it was unlikely, and closed her eyes heartbrokenly, "Is it that difficult to fill up a river? How about giving up?"
The trusted maid couldn't bear it, "My queen, why don't we build a boat?"
Empress Xian closed her eyes and said in silence, "A boat blatantly passed by on the river. Who with eyes could not see it?"
The trusted maid said, "What if the guards don't have time to pay attention to us that day? At least the queen has a way to survive."
Empress Xian sighed and said, "Then let's build the boat first."
She felt it was unreliable and had a bit of a fluke mentality.
What if the guards on that day had presbyopia and their eyesight was poor?
Wouldn't she be able to save her life?
……
The maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion waited outside the palace gate until dark, but did not receive a reply from Concubine Xian.
He could only go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and report to the Prime Minister's wife.
When the Prime Minister's wife heard that Concubine Xian refused to let her enter the palace, she was furious and scolded Concubine Xian.
He lay unwillingly on the bed, his eyes dull.
……
The prince sent people to investigate the matter of the palace.
No results were found.
The prince had already regarded the palace as his own.
As soon as the emperor passed away, they would dig up the gold from the floor of the palace.
Exchange the silver for military supplies and send troops to attack Marquis Lu Bei.
The court officials kept saying that it was he who let Marquis Lu Bei escape.
He must personally lead the troops to capture Lu Beihou and execute this traitorous family.
He no longer felt that he had fabricated evidence to frame Lu Beihou. He believed that Lu Beihou must have had the intention of rebellion long ago.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have run away so easily.
If there is no intention of rebellion, the subject must die if the king wants him to.
He couldn't keep the stain of Lu Beihou, and he had to wipe out Lu Beihou's family.
When the time comes, he will let the people of the world see that they cannot rebel.
Treason will lead to death.
He must be the most wise and powerful emperor.
Now that the gold in the palace is gone, wouldn’t his grand plan be delayed?
The prince was extremely anxious and thought of the solution proposed by his uncle, the Prince of Xiao.
Let the prince of Xiaoguo come to the palace to inquire about the silver.
Prince Xiao is flattered wherever he goes and is in high spirits.
When the prince called him into the palace and asked him about the silver, he was confused.
The emperor is in a state of disarray, so he thought the issue of the silver didn't need to be dealt with.
I forgot it long ago.
Why did the prince bring it up again?
Shouldn't the Crown Prince be worrying about the succession now?
The Crown Prince of Xiaoguo frowned, "Prince, now you should focus on the succession.
That’s the most important thing.”
The prince frowned and said, "Uncle, my father hasn't died yet, and I am ready.
You also know what the second prince told the court officials to say in the court.
They blamed the incident of Marquis Lu Bei on this prince.
If this matter is not dealt with, I, the crown prince, will not be able to convince the people after I succeed to the throne."
The prince of Duke Xiao said, "Prince, you will be the most honorable person in the world by then, so don't care what those people say.
You are the legitimate successor to the throne. There is no other legitimate candidate like you in the world.
The matter of Marquis Lu Bei was done by the Emperor, what does it have to do with the Crown Prince?"
The prince frowned and said, "Uncle, I must do this anyway.
What my father cannot do, this prince can do.
As long as I can handle the matter of Marquis Lu Bei, everyone will praise me for my wisdom and bravery. "
The prince of Duke Xiao said, "Prince, Marquis Lubei has fought in the northern border for many years and is a master at using troops. This matter is not easy to resolve."
The prince smiled confidently, "This prince has never lost a battle."
Prince Xiao saw that the Crown Prince wanted to lead the troops himself, and he was not optimistic about the Crown Prince.
Marquis Lu Bei has been guarding the northern border for many years and has rich experience in commanding troops, but the prince has never actually fought in a war.
But he couldn't say openly that the prince couldn't beat Marquis Lu Bei.
"How can a noble prince put himself in danger?
There are so many generals in the court, so we can just send any one and the prince won’t have to go there himself.”
The prince waved his hand and said, "This matter will be decided by the prince himself.
Uncle, just take care of the money issue."
The prince of Xiaoguo could only say, "I understand."
Jin Xiuxiu asked the little cutie to keep an eye on the prince.
Jin Xiuxiu heard the conversation between the Crown Prince and the Young Master Xiao.
Jin Xiuxiu said to the Wheel of Time and Space Little White Dog, "Kong Kong, the prince wants the prince of Xiao to get some money to send troops to attack my cheap father.
You go and keep an eye on the prince of Xiaoguo."
The little white dog of the Wheel of Time said excitedly, "Okay."
The prince wants to give us money again, and he is a very nice person.
……
The emperor couldn't hold on and died.
The court officials begged the prince to ascend the throne.
The prince succeeded to the throne legitimately and became the new emperor.
Seeing that the emperor had lost his breath, the queen said coldly,
"And that bitch Concubine Xian, let her go and accompany the emperor."
The Queen asked Concubine Xian to be buried with the Emperor.
When Empress Xian heard that the Emperor was gone, she ran to the cold palace carrying the package she had prepared in advance.
He crawled in through the hole that had been dug in advance.
The trusted palace maid led the way in front.
It was dark and cold in the cave, and Empress Xian shivered as she walked.
The passage in the cave is not long and we reached the end in a short while.
When Concubine Xian came out of the cave, she saw the queen with a cold face.
Empress Xian: "..."
The Queen glanced at Concubine Xian coldly and said, "Concubine Xian, the Emperor misses you. You should be accompanying him now. Why are you here?"
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Empress Xian said in a sharp voice, "I am willing to go wherever I want. I saw that the weather was nice, so I came out to relax."
The queen smiled coldly, "Why don't you go accompany the emperor and help him pimp? Why do you come here to relax?"
Empress Xian doesn't want to pretend anymore. It's all over now. What's the point of pretending?
"The Emperor can favor whomever he wants, and the Empress doesn't need to be jealous."
The Queen mocked, "It's a waste of Concubine Xian's talent to stay in the palace. She should become a brothel owner.
Now the court officials are all thanking Concubine Xian. They are offering their wives to the Emperor to win his favor. "
Empress Xian retorted, "Tsk tsk tsk, it's better than someone with a foul mouth. It doesn't matter if she's the queen, but the emperor can't stand it even on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month and won't stay overnight."
The queen said coldly, “The emperor dotes on you and can’t live without you.
Now that the emperor is gone, you have to go and accompany him and serve him.
Come, send Concubine Xian to the Emperor."
