Chapter 629: Defeating the Defense Line and Losing the Son Again
"Thank you." Ji Chuhe thanked sincerely.
"You and I are husband and wife, and we share life and death together. Why should we thank you?" Xiao Yan'an was a little unhappy. "Madam, please don't say thank you to me anymore, okay?"
"Okay." Ji Chuhe nodded in response. I think this place is relatively safe. We ran all the way here and didn't hear any fighting. Perhaps the civil strife is almost over." Ji Chuhe looked around and decided to hide here for the time being.
Xiao Yan'an turned around and took a look, then took off his coat and spread it on a stone, "Madam, please sit down and rest for a while."
Ji Chuhe sat down and rubbed his sore legs.
I didn’t feel any pain when I was in the cold palace just now, but now that I relaxed, I felt the pain.
Xiao Yanan immediately squatted down and pressed the place where she hit her, "Does it hurt here?"
"Ah."
Xiao Yan'an simply sat on the ground and massaged her legs.
"Madam, the current situation can only have two possible outcomes. In the first scenario, the Queen wins in this palace turmoil. However, it is a well-known fact that the Queen murdered the Emperor. Even if the Third Prince is still alive, he will definitely not be able to succeed to the throne."
"The second outcome is that the Queen Mother wins. Then, she will immediately get rid of the Queen and the Third Prince, and find the Fourth Prince and bring him back to the palace. Then, as long as the Fourth Prince is eliminated, there will be no one else who can inherit the throne. The throne will naturally become the property of my father. This is a better outcome than we imagined before."
This is Ji Chuhe’s overall plan.
The Queen is the key to whether this plan can succeed.
The reason why she believed so much that the Queen could take the Emperor's life was because of her cooperation with the Queen at a banquet when she first arrived in the imperial capital and the Prince's Mansion was just established.
The third prince was poisoned twice in total.
One time, the Queen tried to deal with Concubine Luo and made her suffer a great loss.
The other time was the day they had a banquet.
The queen dared to poison her own son, which shows that she had very precise control over this poison. Perhaps, the queen not only knew how to use this kind of poison, but also other poisons.
The queen did not disappoint her.
With one move, he took the emperor's life.
This conspiracy implicated the Queen Mother and the young Emperor of Rong State, and Ji Chuhe found a way to help them out.
And the three young princes.
Ji Chuhe also arranged a retreat for them.
The sudden fire in the harem was just to cover up the truth.
Chao Sihai had already moved the three little princes and their mother out. They were also willing to take a generous sum of money and live an ordinary life away from the palace.
"Things haven't come to the end yet. Uncontrollable changes will still occur. We can't take it lightly." Ji Chuhe still couldn't relax.
"Yes." Xiao Yan'an nodded solemnly.
So far, the plan is only halfway done. So far, the plan is going very smoothly and everything is under control.
Su Su is at the Fourth Prince's place.
Su Su's mission is to take the life of the Fourth Prince.
Even if my father ascended the throne.
The road ahead will not be smooth.
This throne is not so easy to sit on.
There were shadows moving not far away. It was Rong Song and another group of inner court guards returning.
"Prince, Madam, we have eliminated those people. I looked around and there are no suspicious people near the Imperial Garden. It is safe here." Rong Song came to report.
"Okay, you guys take a rest too. For those who are injured, just treat their injuries first." Xiao Yan'an instructed.
Chao Sihai also walked over and asked, "Madam, shall I send someone to get some information? Let's see what's going on."
"Chao Sihai, your current situation is very dangerous. You can't waste any more time. You have to leave the palace immediately. Chunsheng is waiting for you. After you meet up with Chunsheng, follow the caravan to Huaiyang immediately." Ji Chuhe immediately said to Chao Sihai.
She has already arranged everything, Chunsheng is waiting for Chao Sihai.
As soon as the two met, they immediately mixed Chao Sihai into the caravan and left the imperial capital.
From then on, there was no such person as Chao Sihai in the world.
From now on, Chao Sihai can choose how he wants to live his life.
Chao Sihai felt mixed emotions. He could feel that Ji Chuhe really cared about his safety.
He will never regret his choice in this life.
"Madam, I will say goodbye now and look forward to the day when we meet again." Chao Sihai bowed to Ji Chu and turned to leave.
"Goodbye." Ji Chuhe waved towards Chao Sihai's back.
After watching Chao Sihai leave.
Xiao Yan'an stood up and instructed an inner court guard, "Go and get some information."
"Yes." The man immediately disappeared into the night.
……
Outside the emperor's bedroom, a group of ministers, palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling.
Inside the palace, the Queen Mother sat on a chair with an angry look on her face, and next to her were the Prince of Huaiyang and the Princess.
This civil strife has ended.
It ended with the Queen's failure.
The queen was pinned to the ground, and next to her was the third prince, whose life or death was unknown.
Her hair was disheveled, and her phoenix robe had been stripped off. She looked horrible.
"I did not murder the emperor! It was the Rong people who used witchcraft to harm the emperor. I just concealed the news of the emperor's death! I didn't want to make a big deal out of it! Lest some people with bad intentions take the opportunity to seize the throne!" the queen shouted.
"You still dare to quibble! I think you won't cry until you see the coffin! Come, bring all the people up!" The Queen Mother gave an order.
All the queen's close associates were brought up.
Judging from their conditions, they had already been severely tortured.
"Queen, they have all confessed. This is the poison you gave to the emperor! You colluded with Chao Sihai to murder the emperor. The evidence and crimes are already in front of you. What else can you say!" The Queen Mother threw all the confessions and poison in front of the Queen.
"It's fake, it's all fake! Let me go!" The queen struggled for a while, but the people behind her pressed her even tighter.
Her face rubbed against the ground, leaving a bloody mark in an instant.
The Queen Mother suddenly stepped forward, holding the packet of poison, "Queen, I have already tried this medicine. Guess who I tried it on? That person died in exactly the same way as the Emperor. What else do you have to say?"
"This is a false accusation, a complete false accusation!" The queen still refused to plead guilty.
"Look at the third prince next to you. It's all your fault that he has ended up like this!" The Queen Mother knew what the Queen cared about. She had plenty of time to deal with the Queen until she broke down her psychological defenses.
The queen turned and looked in the direction of the third prince.
"My son! My son!"
After calling twice, the Third Prince did not respond at all.
The queen's heart couldn't help but tighten, "My son, wake up! Wake up!"
