Chapter 934: Mother and Son Conspire in the Current Dilemma
Emperor Hongde didn't say anything, Yu Feng and Feng Guang also kept their mouths shut, and the commander of the Imperial Guards, Dong Wen, didn't say a word either. The imperial study fell into deathly silence.
After half a cup of tea, Yu Feng quietly moved himself to the side. After a while, he brought a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Emperor Hong De.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea!"
Emperor Hong De frowned and said nothing. Instead, he reached out and picked up the teacup in front of him and took two sips. His turbulent emotions calmed down a lot after the two sips of hot tea went into his stomach.
"Where are the others in the Cifu Mansion?"
Emperor Hong De asked.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Jinyan's concubines and illegitimate children, as well as the guards and servants in the Vice Prime Minister's residence, have all been imprisoned in the Sky Prison. They will be carefully investigated to determine if they were involved in Zhang Jinyan's conspiracy before any further punishment is decided!"
Emperor Hong De nodded after listening, then looked at Dong and asked, "Lord Dong, what should we do next... are you clear?
Also, regarding the Heavenly Prison...don't let them off too obviously tonight.
The same thing is true in Shuntian Prefecture Prison!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Emperor Hong De raised his hand and rubbed his temple, his voice full of fatigue.
"Yes, I resign!"
Dong Wen bowed to Emperor Hongde and turned to leave the imperial study.
Emperor Hongde sighed deeply, "I clearly have good intentions, I clearly have a sincere heart, could it be that... I am wrong?"
Yu Feng and Feng Guang exchanged a glance, and Yu Feng spoke: "Your Majesty, you are not wrong. The one who is wrong is... the 'wrong person'!"
It may sound like nothing was said, but everyone who heard it understood who was the 'wrong person'!
At this moment, the two 'wrong people' were sitting face to face in front of the statue of the compassionate and solemn Guanyin Bodhisattva, plotting the most cold-blooded, ruthless and cruel thing in the world!
"Mother, Zhang Jinyan and his family must die!
There can be no hesitation on this matter.
My son has already made arrangements to send them off tonight!"
"Yier, we can't act rashly at this time!
It was already inappropriate for you to divorce Zhang Miaoying. If Zhang Jinyan's entire family died tonight, what do you think others would think?
What would your good uncle think?
The first thing they would think of is that you must be afraid they would reveal some secret, so you hurriedly killed them in the middle of the night to silence them!"
The man who was speaking in front of King Yi, Xiao Jingyi, was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a ferocious look on his face. Although he was holding a white bead in his hand, he was still out of tune with this small Buddhist temple and did not fit in at all!
This beautiful middle-aged woman is Xiao Jingyi's biological mother——
The one who was determined to become the queen and mother of the country, but was disappointed that the former crown prince died young;
Then, she was determined to become the Empress Dowager's former Crown Princess Zhou!
Nearly twenty years of burning incense and chanting scriptures not only did not make Zhou feel any compassion or kindness, but her obsession with her son ascending the throne of Emperor Jingyue and herself enjoying the supreme honor of being the Empress Dowager grew stronger day by day, and she never let it go for a moment!
When the late emperor was alive, he sent the Golden Armored Guards to stay in Prince Yi's Palace and confined the late Crown Princess Zhou in this small Buddhist temple.
After the previous emperor passed away, Emperor Hongde succeeded to the throne.
Emperor Hongde originally thought that Zhou was Xiao Jingyi's biological mother after all, and the mother and son relying on each other would be a comfort to each other.
So, the golden armored guards who were responsible for guarding Zhou were withdrawn.
Who would have thought that although Emperor Hongde treated the mother and son with kindness, the mother and son were not grateful. Instead, the result of getting together was that their ambitions doubled!
Especially when Xiao Jingyi was twelve years old, he learned that the former crown prince had left a force for his only son, Xiao Jingyi, to seize the throne. The mother and son were even more confident and regarded seizing the throne of Jingyue as their must-achieve goal!
However, since Emperor Hongde ascended the throne, he has always been diligent in his work and has appointed talented and capable people to positions. There is no shortage of loyal ministers in the court to assist him, and there are also experienced soldiers guarding the border. Jingyue has a harmonious government and a peaceful and prosperous country!
In the end, mother and son realized that they were not strong enough and had no chance to fight against Emperor Hongde. They could only plan secretly and try every possible means to accumulate strength, so that one day they could overthrow Emperor Hongde and his son and ascend to the highest position as they wished!
It’s easier said than done!
That dragon throne... they can still only look up at it.
After hearing what Zhou said, Xiao Jingyu stood up irritably and paced back and forth in the Buddhist hall.
"Mother, do you think your son can't think of this?
My son had thought of it a long time ago!
But... tomorrow Zhang Jinyan will be pulled out of the prison and handed over to the three judges for trial.
Mother, do you think that Zhang Jinyan... can withstand the severe punishment of the Three Courts?
Besides, at this moment, I think... there is no need to torture Zhang Jinyan in order to interrogate him——
As long as someone told him that his daughter Zhang Miaoying had been divorced by his son, that Zhang Miaoying was no longer the Princess of Prince Yi, that their Cifu Mansion had no relationship with their son, that their Cifu Mansion had been abandoned by Prince Yi's Mansion...
Will Zhang Jinyan still be loyal to his son and risk his life to keep the secret for his son?
He must be eager to drag his son down to hell with him!"
"Okay, sit down!
You're walking around so much that I'm dizzy!"
Zhou glared at Xiao Jingyu with a look of disappointment.
