Chapter 1044 1045 [Thunder and storm]

Concubine De only glanced at him and did not stare at the second prince Liu Yun for a long time, but this was enough to prove many problems.

There is no need to go into details about the wrong things that the eldest prince Liu Xian once did. Emperor Kaiping was indeed partial to him and did not disclose the assassination case of Pei Yue to the courtiers, but only gave him a severe reprimand in private.

However, in the Jingtai Palace that day, apart from Emperor Kaiping, the only people who knew about the matter were Empress Chen, Concubine Wu, Liu Xian and Liu Yun.

Concubine Wu and Liu Xian will definitely not leak this scandal. With the cautiousness that Empress Chen has shown over the years, she should not make such a move that will definitely offend the emperor. So the most suspicious person is the second prince Liu Yun.

.

Because of the affair between Zhulou and the Ministry of Industry, Liu Yun was disgraced in the court and completely lost his qualifications to compete for the throne. He must have resentment in his heart.

Although Emperor Kaiping went to Prince Qi's Mansion the next day to make amends, no one could be sure that those words would really change Liu Yun's situation.

The atmosphere near the platform was slightly stagnant. Liu Yun was already in a mixed mood today. After all, he was the eldest son of the empress and had the undoubted right of succession. However, the ministers who supported him could not compete with Emperor Kaiping's determination. In addition,

He made such a big joke that he had to withdraw from the competition for the crown prince position.

Just now watching Liu Xian take the crown prince's seal from Emperor Kaiping, Liu Yun felt mixed emotions in his heart, as if being gnawed by thousands of insects. At that moment, he had some thoughts that even he himself felt frightened.

.

At this moment, realizing that Concubine De had pinned the suspicion of leaking secrets on himself, Liu Yun immediately asked with difficulty concealing his anger: "Empress De Concubine, when did I tell you this?"

However, what was even more unexpected was that Empress Chen did not immediately stand up to refute. The Lord of the Sixth Palace, who had always been cautious in speaking and doing things, lowered his head slightly, with a bitter look on his face.

She raised her head slightly, looked at Emperor Kaiping, and asked, "Does your Majesty know?"

Xu Qingfeng carried the words of the elder of the Four Dynasties to her ears.

Mo Haoli took two steps forward. His thin body seemed to fall down at any time, but he still refused the support of Luo Ting and others around him. He just looked at the back of Concubine De, who was three feet away in front of him, and said with some difficulty: "Your Majesty, maybe

Not all princes are treated equally, but even

How many people from a small family in this world can be absolutely fair? It is said that the Tian family is selfless. Of course, His Majesty has more than just the princes in his heart. Every citizen of Da Liang has an equally important position in his heart. Furthermore, His Majesty,

Are you harsh on Liu Zan? I don’t think so."

Concubine De said slowly: "Later I figured it out. The Queen and the Second Prince are more cruel than me, so they can live well. Your Majesty, I and Zan'er are waiting for you below."

From the beginning to the end, Emperor Kaiping did not interrupt Mo Haoli's words, and there was no trace of sarcasm in his eyes when he looked at Concubine De.

A touch of sadness appeared in Emperor Kaiping's heart, but he did not show it on his face. He said slowly: "Since he is my prince, there are some things he must learn to accept. Concubine De, I ask you again, who is it?

What did you tell me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand holding the dagger suddenly exerted force and cut her own throat with the sharp blade.

The second prince Liu Yun looked at his mother in a daze, feeling that everything in the world was extremely absurd.

Concubine De seemed unaware, still looking straight at Emperor Kaiping and said: "Your Majesty, after I heard this, I thought of your attitude towards Zan'er, and naturally I felt hatred in my heart. But people cannot be resurrected after death.

No matter how deep the hatred in my heart is, it is impossible for Zan'er to live again

Come. I still remember that when Zan'er was in the palace, Your Majesty would rarely talk to him, and he would not even look at him twice. Does Your Majesty know why Zan'er left the palace at the age of thirteen? Does Your Majesty know that he

Why are you working so hard to organize the Lao Shi Zi Wenhui?"

"Liu Zan went through so many troubles and conspired to frame the eldest prince and the second prince, but His Majesty did not send down thunder and wrath. He just imprisoned him in the palace and did not even deprive him of his title. From ancient times to the present, there are several others

Can the emperor achieve this? But what did Liu Zan do? Could it be that the empress cannot remember it? He colluded with the prime minister Liu Duan and others to poison and kill the king, and colluded with the criminal minister Zhang Wukang, intending to kill the prince and seize the great treasure!"

Her hand holding the dagger couldn't help but tremble, and blood flowed down her neck.

Emperor Kaiping didn't seem to notice this oddity. He looked at Concubine De and said, "The empress is so virtuous and virtuous that she would do such a nonsense."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the important ministers not far away became strange.

Concubine De's hand holding the dagger suddenly tightened, and a look of hesitation appeared on her face.

Everyone was shocked.

He looked at Emperor Kaiping worriedly, fearing that his father would not be able to withstand such a blow.

Emperor Kaiping did not answer.

By the end it was so loud.

The atmosphere near the platform returned to silence. Mo Haoli's words defined today's events. Although it would add a few flaws to the ceremony of establishing the crown prince, it would not affect the overall situation.

The eldest prince Liu Xian standing next to him was both angry and sad. This complex emotion was directed not only at Concubine De, but also at the people behind her. After Liu Zan committed suicide, Concubine De lived in seclusion in Jingning Palace.

If you want to know the secrets in Jingtai Palace last year, you need the cooperation of many people to send the news in.

Seeing that he was so heartless, Concubine De's heart, which had been cold for a long time, became frosty again, and she said quietly: "Your Majesty is a wise and mighty Holy Emperor, couldn't you guess it?"

He paused, shook his head and said: "I only know that after Liu Zan left the palace, your Majesty used the money from the Tianjia treasury to help him buy Xianyun Villa and allowed him to make friends with literati and indulge in the mountains and rivers, even though your Majesty knew that this would make him

Liu Zan has accumulated many connections in the court. The empress does not forget those old events in her heart, but she has never thought about His Majesty’s kindness to Liu Zan, let alone how Liu Zan would repay His Majesty.”

In the solemn and solemn atmosphere, an old voice rang out: "Empress De Fei, do you hope that Liu Zan will not be able to live in peace after his death?"

Emperor Kaiping did not show the fragile emotion Liu Xian imagined, and said indifferently: "Say."

The smile on Concubine De's face was slightly ferocious, and she suddenly raised her tone and said: "The Queen sent someone to tell me that Liu Xian ordered his confidants to assassinate important officials of the imperial court, but His Majesty has shown favoritism again and again, and she is dissatisfied!"

At this point, the uproar finally reached its peak.

Concubine De obviously understood this. She did not turn around to argue with the old man, but stared at Emperor Kaiping and said, "Your Majesty, you really want to know?"

There was only a hint of disappointment.

Concubine De smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right, I am also wondering, what is the use of the Queen's doing this? Even if she tells me this matter, even if I can tell it today, at most it will be proof.

The prince your majesty chose is not as wise as the imperial edict said, but everything is a foregone conclusion, so what's the point?"

Bloody tears welled up in the woman's eyes, and she said sadly: "Your Majesty, Zan'er is also your son!"

Although most people had expected this scene to happen, when Concubine De actually committed suicide on the altar of sacrifice to heaven, everyone, including the royal family, officials and military officials, fell into deathly silence. The more than 2,000 people in the courtyard were all stunned.

.

When the sky and the earth were silent, a heartbreaking sound sounded from the turret of the city wall in the northwest. The next moment, a shrill roar penetrated the air, like a meteor, hitting the altar of worship less than two miles away.

"Father!"

Liu Xian's eyes were about to burst, and his beard and hair were bulging, and he rushed in front of Emperor Kaiping regardless of his own safety.
