Chapter 45 The Landslide ([-])

(The time temporarily returns to one day ago)

The summer of the first five years has been longer than ever.After the great heat, the scorching sun is still scorching the earth, the air is full of fishy smell, madness is brewing in the suffocating heat, and a violent storm is about to sweep.

The cicada screamed hoarsely, high-pitched and powerful, as if mocking the helplessness of fate.Autumn is coming, and they are about to turn into ashes, but cicadas are always like this, or they are born crazy.The last light and shadow of life is wasted in meaningless screams, with the determination of moths to the flame.

The emperor has been away from the palace for several days, which should have been a very common thing, because the unprecedented company of the authorized prince has made the center of the empire continue to be filled with strange expectations.Everyone is waiting cautiously, maybe the crown prince's status has been completely consolidated, or maybe his majesty shot an arrow and killed the prince.

The princess of the Eastern Palace lived more and more quietly, except for the daily twilight and morning sleep, she was silent.

But what was supposed to come would still come, but no one thought that this storm would be so terrifying, like a thunderstorm rolling over half of Xie Kingdom.

The dark clouds came from the east, constantly twisting all the way, condensing into a giant dragon, so thick that it might squeeze out bean-sized raindrops or even hail at any time.But it stayed in the sky above Chang'an City, maintaining such a depression, unwilling to give it a good time.

The palace was covered with a quilt, sweating profusely, even the empress dowager's calm face began to waver.

……

……

The world outside the palace is still immersed in the irritability of summer, and the palace is already full of confusion and fear.

The Empress Dowager stood indifferently in the Tai Chi Hall, wearing a phoenix robe, with a cold face, as if nothing in the world could destroy her composure at this moment.But everyone in front of Fengjia could clearly see that the Queen Mother's hands were shaking, because the coffin brought back by Gao Changshi was exhausted to the extreme.

The queen has also arrived, with sadness in the corners of her eyes, and her face is as cold as ice.

She walked up to the queen mother and held up one of the queen mother's hands to help her stand still.

Supporting each other and not falling down has exhausted the greatest courage of these two women who are mothers of the world.

The mountains collapse!
The Empress Dowager grasped the dragon head staff tightly in her hand.

When she saw Gao Changshi coming back with the coffin, she thought it was Saburo who finally used bloody and even shameful means to force the exchange. Although she was crying, she felt inexplicably at ease.

A Luan is a good boy, but not a good prince. It is only a matter of time before he is abolished.

Maybe the process will be cruel, maybe the method will be bloody, but these are all acceptable to the Queen Mother. She has experienced two dynasties, and she has long been used to seeing the harem strife, you and I cheat.He also knows that the Xiao family is all sentimental, living for love, dying for love, and even acting like lunatics for the sake of their loved ones.

Even the sages like the first emperor once strangled to death the queen sister who had just given birth to the heir to the empire in order to win the joy of his loved ones.If she hadn't been low-key and witty, and she didn't have special favours, she probably wouldn't be able to survive until Saburo ascended the throne and regard her adoptive mother as the queen mother.Today is not the first emperor, but in order to make his most beloved prince become a prince without any obstacles, it is indeed possible to use a method that embarrasses the royal family to dispose of the prince who has never made any serious mistakes.

But she didn't expect that the one lying in the coffin was——

Although the prince is a gentle and merciful person, but pushed to the extreme, he is also an orthodox Xiao family member.The blood of the Xiao family flowed in his body, and when he fought hard, it was...

Gao Changshi said so, because of a misunderstanding, the empire lost two masters.

Compared with the queen mother's mixed feelings, the queen's mind was much simpler. She turned her cold eyes to everyone who was crawling under her feet. They felt the pressure from the queen when they were exhausted. They bowed their heads and knelt, not daring to make a sound.

They are ready to bear the wrath of the entire empire.

But the queen did not scold, she glanced at the concubines who were constantly mourning and suffering around the coffin, and cursed: "Why are you crying!"

As soon as this remark came out, the sobbing in the palace was suppressed, and the women wiped away their tears in fear. They still remembered the methods the queen used to suppress the rumors of Guanju Palace, and they knew that she didn't mind the same scene happening again.

The queen looked at their panic-stricken faces with satisfaction, supported the queen mother, and sat beside the dragon chair.

"From now on, close the gates of the palace, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

"Yes!"

"I invite King Yuzhang, King Ning, King Yan, and King Runan to return to Beijing to discuss important matters!"

"Yes!"

"Xuan Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Taiwei, and Shang Shuling enter the palace immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Xuanying Yonghou, Jingpinghou, Yixinghou, Wudehou, Jinyanghou and other princes enter the palace immediately."

"Yes!"

"The commander of the Xuancheng gate entered the palace."

"Yes!"

"From now on, the gates of the city will be closed, and the city gates will not be opened without the will of the certain and the Queen Mother!"

"Yes!"

"Let Ning Guogong and Wei Guogong return today, the frontier is difficult, and the state affairs are the most important."

"Yes!"

……

A series of instructions were sent out quickly, and the Queen's performance was methodical and terrifyingly sober.

Because she wasn't sad enough.

The emperor died and the crown prince disappeared, but all of these were not her main concern at the moment.

She is a queen, but she is also a mother. She must seize the opportunity to clear all obstacles for her son to inherit the throne!
However, the Empress Dowager's brows suddenly frowned. When the Empress issued orders to fight for the interests of King Yuzhang, the old man had woken up from her grief. She gently touched her temples and said slowly: "From now on, the Empress will move to Hanyuan Palace." ...The guards of the imperial city handed over to An Guo Gonghua with respect."

His Highness was silent, no one dared to respond.

The Queen's eyes suddenly turned cold. At this time, the sky was already dark, the bells of Chengtianmen had died down, and the candlelight in the Taiji Hall was bleak and flickering.

"Mother!"

She shouted in a low voice, trying to wake up the queen mother and take back her life.But the old man's eyes flashed with a trace of complexity, and he said lightly: "The empress is too sad, she should rest. The inner court invites His Highness the eldest princess to stay in the palace temporarily. Concubine Zhao and Princess Yue... enter the palace together... the kings Returning to Beijing, order to bring family members, no excuses to delay!"

"Yes……"

His Highness was in a state of desolation. Although the Empress was strong and arrogant, she could not surpass the Empress Dowager.At this moment, the Empress Dowager took the initiative and completely shattered the Queen's plan.Every decree she issued was more ruthless than the empress, with the intention of stabilizing the situation in the palace in the shortest possible time, and controlling those who might cause turmoil within the imperial city.

"How will the prince deal with it?"

Someone asked cautiously.

The Empress Dowager gave her a cold look, she was a childless concubine, and said: "Prepare an imperial edict to announce to the world that Crown Prince Zhiluan has misbehavior, embarrassing the use of the country, and deposed as a commoner."

Hearing the sound, the concubine screamed: "The prince kills his father, the heaven and the earth will not tolerate it, how can the queen mother just be deposed as a commoner!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent, and the queen looked at the concubine coldly, as if looking at a dead person.

The queen mother laughed, and a gentle voice sounded behind her: "Drag it down and bury it."

Guards and eunuchs stepped forward and dragged the mad concubine down. On this stormy night, no one cared which tree the poor woman would be buried under.

The empress looked at the Changsha king behind the empress dowager, showing a ferocious unwillingness.

The king of Changsha, however, had an unusually calm expression. He looked around and lingered on the queen's face for a long time before he smiled and said, "It's the emperor's intention to depose the prince as a commoner. Although the prince's behavior is exaggerated and heinous, but the emperor has always been kind. , I can't bear to hurt you. When I was dying, I deliberately left an oral order, and I will be deposed as a commoner."

After speaking, he took out a piece of imperial decree with wet ink and handed it to the Queen Mother.

　Finally, the plot of the first volume has reached its climax. I have been waiting for so long. Today is the weekend, and there is another update tonight, hehe~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
