The wind whistled and rolled up the mud and sand on the ground, and the sand gradually flew into the sky and fell again. The sky was gray with no clouds and no sun, and a few crows were hovering over the Forbidden City.

When Xiaoyaozi and Xiong Wei rushed to the cell, they only saw the man vomiting black blood and his face was blue, apparently poisoned to death.

"Eh!" Xiaoyaozi sighed, "It's one step too late." ”

Xiaoyaozi clenched his fist in one hand and slapped the palm of the other, and he felt that he was always being led by his opponent. He obviously knew who his opponent was, but he couldn't capture him with his own hands and avenge Ouyang Ying, he felt an unspeakable helplessness in his heart.

I secretly blamed myself in my heart, and blamed myself for being too concerned about Ouyang Ying's injuries at the time, and forgetting that there was such an important witness for a while.

"Oh, we're careless. Xiong Wei looked at this dead witness, and felt very guilty in his heart, and looked at Xiaoyaozi, "Master, what should we do now?"

Xiaoyaozi sighed, looked at the pot of orchids in Xiong Wei's hand, and thought: Until now, only by asking the emperor to arrest the cold-blooded and punish Zheng Guifei can he avenge Ying'er.

Xiaoyaozi took the orchid from Xiong Wei's hand and strode towards the Qianqing Palace.

Xiaoyaozi went to the Qianqing Palace and found that the orchid was poisonous, and the orchid was sent by Zheng Guifei, as well as the tragedy of Ouyang Ying's family to Mingshenzong.

Mingshenzong looked at the orchid and coughed, Xiaoyaozi thought it was the orchid's problem and hurriedly took the orchid farther away, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

"Ahem!" Mingshenzong shook his head, held Xiaoyaozi's hand and said, "Actually, I already knew that these things you said were done by Concubine Zheng Guifei. ”

When Xiaoyaozi heard this, she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart and said, "Then, why didn't the emperor stop her." ”

Mingshenzong did not answer Xiaoyaozi, and changed the topic and said: "I have lived for thirty more years, and I know that my time limit has come, so forgive those who can forgive." Besides, how can it be possible to fight in the palace without sacrificing some innocent people. As for the daughter of the Yang Mansion, you can help me take good care of her and try to meet her needs. It can also be regarded as comforting the spirit of Imperial Doctor Yang in the sky. ”

"This ......" Xiaoyaozi wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was blocked back by the Mingshen Sect.

"The most important thing for you now is to ensure that the crown prince ascends the throne, maybe there will be a lot of things happening in this palace. The Myojin Sect said weakly.

He grabbed Xiaoyaozi's hand tightly and said, "You must help the prince keep the Daming country and keep the Daming country." ”

Mingshenzong looked at Xiaoyaozi with wide eyes, this look made Xiaoyaozi a little scared, a little frightened, and a bad premonition that could not be explained.

"You must help me keep the Ming Dynasty, otherwise I won't be able to turn a blind eye!" Mingshenzong stared at Xiaoyaozi deadly, couldn't get up in one breath, and finally fell.

"Your Majesty ......" Xiaoyaozi looked at Mingshenzong and stared at him before he died, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back.

Before the Mingshenzong was temporary, he asked himself not to dispose of Concubine Zheng Guifei, how could he go against his dying wishes?

However, if you don't deal with Concubine Zheng, how can you be worthy of Ouyang Ying and so many innocent lives in the Yang Mansion?

Xiaoyaozi really didn't know what to do for a while.

He opened the door and shouted, "The emperor has died." ”

Xiong Wei and Xia Yun, who were at the door, looked at each other, were stunned for a moment, and ran over to look at Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi shouted again: "The emperor has died!"

The news undoubtedly shocked the entire palace.

Concubine Zheng Guifei was looking forward to this day, she heard the news of the emperor's death, she jumped up from the stool with joy, she hurriedly ran to the front of the dresser to open her jewelry box, took out the holy decree inside, couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "I finally waited for this day." ”

"Hurry up, go and let King Fu go to the Qianqing Palace. Zheng Guifei said while changing into mourning clothes, "Quick, send someone to see, who hasn't arrived?"

After speaking, he hurriedly ran in the direction of Qianqing Palace.

When Concubine Zheng arrived, only Xiong Wei and Xiaoyaozi were there, and there was no one else.

Concubine Zheng pretended to be calm and walked in front of Xiaoyaozi.

When everyone saw Zheng Guifei coming, they gave Zheng Guifei a salute unhurriedly and said, "Guifei Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei took out a handkerchief and threw herself on Mingshenzong, crying and saying, "Your Majesty, why don't you wait for your concubines and leave early." Your Majesty, the concubines are here to accompany you!"

Concubine Zheng Guifei was about to hit the pillar as she spoke, but the palace maid beside him hurriedly grabbed her and persuaded her: "Niangniang, I can't help it, I can't help it!"

Concubine Zheng deliberately broke free of their hands and hit her head on the pillar. The palace ladies took her by the hand again.

Xiaoyaozi's eyes squinted at the holy decree in Concubine Zheng's hand, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Xiong Wei also looked at the holy decree in Zheng Guifei's hand, and then looked at Xiaoyaozi, Xiaoyaozi shook his head and signaled Xiong Wei not to speak yet.

Xiong Wei also understands that it is best not to speak at this time, and see how Zheng Guifei will act in this play. He had just seen the evil smile on Concubine Zheng Guifei's face that couldn't be hidden, and now he was crying and making trouble, it was just a show.

Xiong Wei crossed his hands on his waist and was too lazy to look at Zheng Guifei's crying and mourning appearance.

"Ahem!" Concubine Zheng cried for a while, and finally stopped crying. She cleared her throat and said solemnly: "The death of the emperor is the misfortune of my Ming Dynasty. However, fortunately, the emperor has already set up a person to inherit the throne. For now, when all the civil and military officials have arrived, I can announce the holy decree. ”

Xiong Wei couldn't get used to Concubine Zheng's pretending appearance, his temperament was already very impulsive, and he said directly: "Concubine Niangniang......"

Xiaoyaozi saw that Xiong Wei was about to be impulsive again, so he hurriedly picked up the words and said, "Then please ask the concubine Niangniang, wait for a while, such a major matter, let's wait for everyone to talk about it." ”

After a while, the eunuch whispered in Concubine Zheng's ear that the ministers had arrived.

Concubine Zheng stood up and looked at it, it was white, and all the civil and military officials lowered their heads and stood neatly.

"Everyone is here?" said Zheng Guifei solemnly.

Fang Congzhe, the minister of the capital, was the first to stand up and say: "Guifei Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose, Guifei Niangniang has something important to announce, just say it." ”

"I have something important to announce at this time, and I think everyone can guess what it is. Concubine Zheng said as she looked at everyone's expressions.

The ministers all discussed, in fact, everyone could guess what Zheng Guifei was going to say.

"Since ancient times, the first king died, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne. Everyone also knows that the emperor has already set up a crown prince. However, I have the emperor's handwritten edict in my hand, and the throne will be succeeded by the third prince, King Fu. ”

When Xiong Wei heard Concubine Zheng's words, he straightened up and said, "I'll go and expose him now." ”

Xiaoyaozi grabbed him, glared at him and said, "It's not time for you to speak." ”

Xiong Wei didn't understand, what did Xiaoyaozi mean? Concubine Zheng Guifei had already said that King Fu was going to inherit the throne, and when would it take to wait.

Before Xiong Wei could speak, he became excited in cold blood, and thought: What? Why is King Fu the crown prince?

It turned out that he had already agreed with Concubine Zheng before. Cold-blooded helped Concubine Zheng get rid of the queen, and killed the Yang family, destroying the corpse. Concubine Zheng Guifei helped to become the emperor in cold blood.

Concubine Zheng Guifei also told the cold-blooded that the true throne was originally cold-blooded. When Concubine Zheng Guifei was cold-blooded, Mingshenzong said that if it was a son, he would be crowned the crown prince.

After seeing Cold Blood, Concubine Zheng didn't quite believe that Cold Blood was her own son. Who knows, but the emperor let himself recognize the hidden dragon.

Concubine Zheng Guifei was even more convinced that she was really deceived by the emperor back then.

However, who is his biological son in the end, Cold-blooded and Hidden Dragon. She couldn't say for sure. Besides, whether it is cold-blooded or a hidden dragon, she can't tell the difference and won't let any of them be emperors in vain.

Cold-blooded has always said that he wants to be the emperor, but Qianlong has always put the country first. Maybe there will be some conspiracy involved.

How could she give up the situation of her hard work to someone who didn't believe in it.

And King Fu is his own birth, and when he grew up, he is definitely his own bloodline, of course, he will choose King Fu as the emperor.

The holy decree in her hand was originally written that King Fu was the emperor, this was when she begged Mingshenzong, and Mingshenzong wrote an edict to Zheng Guifei in order to comfort her.

Concubine Zheng Guifei still clearly remembered that Mingshenzong also said at that time that she should not be in such a hurry to take it out, so as not to make the queen unwilling, and when he returned to heaven in a few decades, she could take it out.

Zheng Guifei happened to use this edict to deceive the cold blood, since the cold blood also said that it was the Ming God Sect that dropped the bag back then, Zheng Guifei just used his story to tell him that this holy decree was the holy decree issued by the Ming God Sect when she was cold blooded.

Cold-blooded saw that Zheng Guifei admitted that he was her son, and gave cold-blooded a look at the holy decree, so he did not suspect that Zheng Guifei was lying.

Cold-blooded has never believed in people in his life, and the only one he believes is what he thinks is his biological mother.

At this time, when cold-blooded heard that Concubine Zheng Guifei was saying that King Fu would succeed to the throne, he immediately jumped up. He said excitedly: "How can it be that King Fu will succeed to the throne?"

In fact, he wanted to say, "Why not me!"

He hadn't said the next sentence yet, and the ministers below couldn't bear it anymore when they heard Concubine Zheng's words.

Fang Congzhe, the first minister, was the first to raise a question, saying: "Guifei Niangniang, I'm afraid this edict must be forged, the first emperor did favor King Fu before his death." However, the matter of the crown prince has not changed, and the person who inherits the throne must be the crown prince. ”

Zheng Guotai heard Zheng Guifei say this, and saw her holding the holy decree, of course he believed that what Zheng Guifei said was true.

He hurriedly objected: "The first emperor had said before that he wanted to make King Fu the crown prince, but it was because of the queen at that time, so there was no King Fu. Now that the empress has died a few days ago, it is entirely possible that the emperor will change the edict during this period. And after the emperor's change, his body was weak and he didn't have time to announce the edict and returned to heaven. It is reasonable for Concubine Zheng to call at this time. ”

When Concubine Zheng Guifei saw that she had Zheng Guotai's support, she felt more confident. She said very confidently: "The national disaster is at the head, the disaster is not a one-way street, and my Ming Emperor has become ill from hard work, like a mountain collapse." Now is not the time to argue about who will succeed to the throne, but to assist the new emperor in order to calm the war in Liaodong. ”

Concubine Zheng said, holding the edict with both hands, knelt down and saluted King Fu and said, "Please enthrone my emperor!"

"No! King Fu can never be the emperor. Fang Congzhe said again, "Weichen is bold, please ask the concubine Niangniang to read the edict in public." ”

The people of the Donglin Party are also clamoring below to see the holy decree.

Concubine Zheng was not afraid at all, she took out the holy decree, opened it and looked at it, and was immediately shocked.
