Hear it, hear it, how righteous it is. Not just to kill the king and usurp power, but also to do it in the name of the people.
"Hmm~" Xining said in a long tone: "Brother Huang's words are reasonable. Come on, present the gift to Prince Duan."
A guard, carrying a tray with a square wooden box on it, walked up to King Duan, but did not kneel down.
King Duan looked at the wooden box and frowned slightly.
The henchman behind him stepped forward and reached out to open the box.
"Wait a minute!" King Duan stopped him and opened the box himself.
When the lid is opened, you can see the lotus-like head lying in the box.
The confidant suddenly took a breath of cold air, and King Duan was also stunned.
I heard the empress say with a bit of majesty, and even more heartbroken: "Brother, it's me, it's not me. I listened to this villain's slander and made your brother suffer. I was also confused for a moment. Thinking about it now, I regret it so much. A hundred years later, how can I have the nerve to see the late emperor and the ancestors of the Chen Dynasty!"
After saying that, he hit his thigh twice with his pink fist.
Now it's okay, the original reason is gone. The empress herself solved it!
It is said that the empress is extremely favored and favored. She has not seen the male concubine in the palace for half a year. She obeys her every word and is constantly rewarded. How could she succeed in this?
Wei Heng, who was standing nearby, sneered secretly. If he knew that the empress cut off the head with this stern face, I don't know what Prince Duan's expression would be.
That's not all, Xi Ning continued to compile: "I still believed in him originally. He also said that when I saw the emperor's brother, it would be the day of my death. I panicked, and followed his words and handed over the imperial seal. Sneak him out of the palace."
King Duan was shocked. He took the national seal out of the palace and gave it to any king, or even a branch of the royal family. Anyone who was a descendant of the Chen Dynasty monarch could attack him. Whoever can avenge you at that time will be more qualified to sit on the throne.
"After the imperial seal left the palace, he continued to make slanderous remarks. He talked too much, but I was thinking about how I could get to this point due to all the things I had done when I was a child with the emperor brother." Xining not only wanted to play the family card, but also brought Chen The ancestors of the dynasty came out. The more nonsense they talked at this time, the more likely they were to save their lives: "I didn't know it was the ancestors who protected me, but I suddenly woke up."
She pointed her finger at the box containing the head: "It's him, it's all him. Relying on my favor, he actually alienated my brother and sister and shaken the country's foundation. In anger, I ordered someone to kill him to prove my awakening. , repent immediately!"
There is no reason for this, the national seal is also dangling somewhere outside the palace. King Duan did not expect that things would turn out like this!
It shouldn't be the empress who panicked, changed her clothes and tried to escape from the palace. For this reason, he also specially set aside a seemingly safe road, sent heavy troops to ambush there, and waited for the people to come out and kill them all.
The empress didn't think it was enough. She raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes behind the white crown string: "Remember that the late emperor once had fifteen sons and seven daughters. After I ascended the throne, there were only five sons and three daughters left. Although I am not talented, I tried my best to protect the late emperor. Blood, flesh and blood, family ties. Fortunately, what happened today did not get out of hand, otherwise it would have caused chaos among the seven kings and devastated all life in the world."
This doesn't mean that you, Prince Duan, want to sit in this position, and you don't want to think about how to deal with the remaining six siblings. Even if they may not have enough troops, they will definitely cooperate with the alliance for the throne first. After winning the throne, they will slowly "discuss" who will sit on it.
King Duan's back suddenly became sweaty, and he saw a box of national seals on the shelf next to him.
So he signaled to his confidants.
How could the national seal be moved casually, but King Duan's eyes were as sharp as a sword. The cronies had no choice but to go over and open it.
Sure enough, the national seal inside was gone. It seemed that what the empress said was true.
Xining still held up his sleeves to wipe his eyes and pretended to cry, but his eyes secretly glanced at King Duan.
Suspicion and serious illness are the faults of any king, and King Duan should be the same. An uncertain battle will not be fought unless pushed to the extreme. I can only blame the fool, the body master, for pushing King Duan too hard. Either you kill him or not. This kind of force will force others to rebel.
Prince Duan had no direction for a moment. Was he going to kill the empress at this time?
It seems that there is no benefit in killing him. The national seal is gone. Killing the empress will just win the hearts of those younger brothers and sisters. They can unite and deal with him. And he was charged with regicide and usurping the throne. Even if he ascended the throne, he would not be able to sit there for long, and Qing Shi would still have a bad reputation.
But if you don’t kill, that’s not an option! They have already reached the palace and killed so many people. The empress will avoid him in the future.
King Duan pretended to be angry, but it was actually a test: "Your Majesty listened to the slander, but why did you assassinate me multiple times?"
"What?" Xining put down his sleeves and pretended to be shocked: "Someone wants to assassinate the emperor's brother?"
King Duan sneered: "After three years of mourning, His Majesty ordered his ministers to come to the capital every winter solstice to pay homage to their ancestors and sweep their tombs. They could only bring fifty guards with them. For three years, every time I entered the capital, assassins and assassins would ambush me on the road. At most, There are actually hundreds of people!”
"Ah? Is this really happening?" Xining put down the Emperor's Sword in panic, lifted up his clothes, stepped off the dragon chair, and walked to King Duan.
He also pulled up one of Prince Duan's sleeves and asked with an anxious look, "Is Brother Huang injured?"
Prince Duan and everyone were stunned for a moment. She was not an empress, she was just a good sister who cared about her brother.
A guard, carrying a tray with a square wooden box on it, walked up to King Duan, but did not kneel down.
King Duan looked at the wooden box and frowned slightly.
The henchman behind him stepped forward and reached out to open the box.
"Wait a minute!" King Duan stopped him and opened the box himself.
When the lid is opened, you can see the lotus-like head lying in the box.
The confidant suddenly took a breath of cold air, and King Duan was also stunned.
I heard the empress say with a bit of majesty and even more heartache: "Brother, it's me, it's not me. I listened to this villain's slander and made your brother suffer.

That's not all, Xi Ning continued to compile: "I originally believed him. He also said that when I saw the emperor's brother, it would be the day of my death. I panicked, and followed his words to send the national seal to the emperor. Sneak him out of the palace."
King Duan was shocked. He took the national seal out of the palace and handed it over to any king, or even a branch of the royal family, as long as he was a descendant of the bloodline of the monarch of the Chen Dynasty.
