After the rebirth

Chapter 104 Chapter 104
"You are so ruthless!" Empress Cheng was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment at the moment, with blood on the corners of her lips, staring at the emperor standing in front of her with a look of hatred.

"Your majesty." Seeing the emperor sneer, the queen spit out a mouthful of blood, held her breath, and stood up, "Have you ever thought about what will happen to Lin'er if you kill me like this?"

This man used to be the husband she liked wholeheartedly, but since when did they not even have a proper conversation?
"Lin'er? Do you still have the guts to mention Lin'er?" Speaking of the crown prince, the emperor's face became even colder, even with a hint of gloom. "Are you sure he is still Lin'er now?"

"Do you think I don't know about all the good things your Cheng family has done?"

"Your majesty, it's really hard for you. In order to get rid of the Cheng family, you can say such things!" The queen was stunned for a moment, then sighed with a wry smile, and finally shook her head and swayed , turned around and walked towards the side table.

"Since you are determined, I will take a step forward. I will watch on Huangquan Road and see how you face your sons!" After speaking sadly, the queen grabbed the dagger on the table and stabbed herself heart.

"Five blessings." The emperor looked at the increasing amount of blood on the ground, and said in a cold tone.

"The servant is here." Wu Fu saluted respectfully and responded.

"Declare the decree, declare it to the world, the empress suddenly died of an emergency, and the whole country mourns." The emperor raised his foot and said as he walked out.

"The servant complies with the order." Wu Fu slightly bent over and followed. Behind him, someone was responsible for cleaning up the aftermath.

"The secret decree informs the Cheng family that the empress has a personal relationship, and I will show them face. If not, don't blame me for not thinking about it." The emperor said sarcastically.

"Yes." Wu Fu's heart twitched. Not to mention the Cheng family, no family would want to spread such a crime.

"Is the news reliable?" In the early morning of the next day, the imperial decree was issued, and in the evening, when the people who followed the caravan and stayed in the inn heard what happened last night, Hua Yan frowned and looked at the people beside him.

"It should be reliable." The fourth prince nodded, "There should be no false edicts for this kind of thing."

"But, at this point in time..." Hua Yanbai was still hesitant.

Could it be that what the emperor said to Taifu's father was true?

The emperor really wants to get rid of the Cheng family?

Since the emperor wanted to get rid of the Cheng family, why did he tie her up with the prince?
"He said before... that he wanted to get rid of the Cheng family..." Seeing that the fourth prince was still staring at her, Hua Yanbai knew that her face must be ugly at the moment, so she spoke hesitantly.

"But, why did you let me..." Hua Yanbai couldn't continue. After all, the fourth prince is still a prince. Even if some guesses should be true, no one knows what he planned.

"I understand." The fourth prince withdrew his gaze and said in an inexplicable tone.

Hua Yanbai was taken aback, thinking what do you understand?
However, everyone didn't speak again. Seeing her like this, the fourth prince's eyes darkened, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Master, you..." Back in the room, Xu Wu looked worriedly at the man with an ugly face.

"Xu Wu, what do you think will be the end of being loyal to the emperor?" Hua Yanbai said in a somewhat erratic tone.

"Master, could it be that things are not what we think?" Xu Wu didn't know how to answer this question, but she and the master both prospered and lost, so she could only comfort the master and herself in this way.

Hua Yanbai hated in her heart, but at the same time secretly made up her mind that after returning to Beijing, she must find a chance to meet the most mysterious person.

Some things, if she doesn't figure it out, she will really go crazy!

And in the palace, outside the imperial study room, the crown prince has been kneeling for a whole day, and his normally innocent face is now a little numb.

In the end, the emperor asked someone to carry the prince to the queen's mourning hall. In any case, some superficial work was still to be done.

However, the empress dowager has been very quiet. The emperor waited for a whole day, but did not wait for her reaction.

So, had to proceed step by step.

"Huh?" After lying on the bed for a long time, Hua Yanbai suddenly sat up.

"Master, what's the matter?" Xu Wu immediately approached nervously, looking around vigilantly.

"The empress is dead, so it's considered a national mourning. After returning to Beijing, will the palace banquet not be able to be held?" Hua Yan asked with a frown.

"Ordinarily, it should be." Xu Wu was stunned for a moment before realizing that there was nothing wrong, but his master suddenly thought of something.

"Meow! The emperor is such a weird creature, what exactly does he want?" Hua Yanbai gasped, and said with gritted teeth.

"Master, have you thought about something?" Xu Wu suddenly whispered.

"What's the matter?" Hua Yanbai looked at her in confusion. Is there anything he hasn't thought about?
"Why did the emperor target the Cheng family?" Xu Wu hesitated before speaking, "Is it just because the Cheng family has too much heart? Or is it that the Cheng family can really subvert the Feng family's imperial power?"

Hua Yanbai blinked, staring straight at the person in front of him.

"The emperor's situation started when the Mei family had an accident and Concubine Wan entered the palace, so," Hua Yanbai nodded, Xu Wu's question must be true, otherwise, she would not have been trying to figure it out from the beginning Regarding the matter of the Mei family, "What kind of secret is it that makes him not hesitate to sacrifice the Mei family, his own children, and even the Hua family and the Situ family now?"

"Xu Wu, I've thought about it a long time ago. His situation is very serious, but I can't figure out what it is?" After speaking, Hua Yanbai sighed and shook his head dejectedly.

"Then master, who do you think the emperor will appoint as the next step?" Xu Wu was silent for a while, then asked another question.

"His brain circuit, tsk!" Hua Yan clicked his tsk, "Wait for the news, anyway, I can't guess it."

"Sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow!" Hua Yanbai lay down and waved his hands, telling Xu Wu to go back to rest.

"He actually personally set up a scheme to frame the queen?" The fourth prince received more detailed information at this moment.

It turned out that the emperor's warning to the Cheng family was not too false, at least he really found a man to frame the queen for "secret/communication".

"Could it be that he really found out the evidence of the Cheng family collaborating with the enemy?" The fourth prince handed over the letter paper in his hand to the candle and lit it.

"Cooperating with the enemy? Beilan?" Ji Lin looked at his master in surprise.

"Uncle Cheng Guo lives reclusively, especially in recent years, could it be that he..." The fourth prince ignored Ji Lin's words, but murmured in thought.

"Master, someone in the caravan is missing!" Before Ji Lin could speak again, there was a knock on the door, and it was very hasty. The next second, Ji Leng walked in and reported in a deep voice.

"How did you find out?" The fourth prince asked with his eyes darkened.

"The caravan set off from Liaoyun City. Except for our people, there were 27 people in total. When they checked into the inn in the evening, the subordinates felt that something was wrong. They kept observing in the dark and finally confirmed that they were indeed missing one person. .” Ji Leng returned.

"Order everyone to be vigilant." The fourth prince ordered in a deep voice, but he didn't let Ji Lin send someone to investigate.

The Ji family brothers looked at each other and accepted the order.
