"Ghost!"
Three shrill shouts from Li Wanji and the two palace maids rang out in the huge palace.
The royal guards and eunuchs who heard the shouting nearby ran towards the sound.
When these eunuchs and guards came to the door of the emperor's palace, they found that the imperial concubine and the two palace ladies were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
Wei Zhongxian, who came with the crowd, quickly stepped forward to help the imperial concubine and pretended to ask what happened.
Li Wanji pointed to the palace with trembling fingers and shouted in a crying voice: "Ghost... ghost... there is a ghost!"
Wei Zhongxian waved his hand, and several eunuchs and guards rushed in.
I have to say that the makeup the crazy empress painted herself was really scary, and she looked like a ghost that sucked in yang energy when she lay on the body of Emperor Li Xuanji. Even if he saw someone coming, he would still ask in a crazy voice: "Your Majesty, is this concubine beautiful?"
beautiful? So beautiful!
The few guards who rushed in were almost scared to death by the Queen's makeup.
Fortunately, two eunuchs recognized that it was the Empress who was lying on the emperor, so they did not let the guards pull out their swords and kill the empress on the spot. They just pulled the crazy Empress up from Li Xuanji's body.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian pretended to go forward to watch Li Xuanji.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
...
Wei Zhongxian pretended to shout several times in succession, and then pretended to use his hands to test Li Xuanji's breath.
The next second, Wei Zhongxian, who was very talented in acting, burst into tears.
"His Majesty passed away!"
Although Wei Zhongxian did not say the cause of Li Xuanji's death, everyone present was secretly shocked: "Your Majesty was scared to death by the Queen?"
Soon the palace was filled with tears, and the bell representing the emperor's death was also rung!
Prime Minister Yan Song, who had just taken a Disha Zengshou Pill, was about to pamper his eighth concubine when he heard the death knell.
Yan Song didn't care about reducing the potency of the medicine, immediately put on his court clothes and hurried to the palace.
Yan Song was one of the first ministers to arrive when he heard the emperor's death bell. He immediately ordered the palace to be under martial law.
After entering the palace, Yan Song grabbed one of his informants in the palace and asked the reason: "Why did His Majesty die suddenly?"
The eyeliner shook his head hesitantly and said: "I don't know either. I just heard that Your Majesty wanted to favor the Imperial Concubine tonight, but for some reason, the Empress who was thrown into the cold palace escaped the control and painted extremely The ghostly makeup has arrived in His Majesty’s chamber.”
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he... he was accidentally frightened to death by the Queen!"
Yan Song was stunned after hearing this.
Only a few people knew that the Empress was demoted to the sidelines and was even driven crazy because of it. Not even the Empress' biological son, the eldest prince, knew about it.
"Things are not easy to handle now!" Yan Song muttered to himself.
Yan Song and a group of courtiers followed the eunuch who led the way and walked quickly to the emperor's palace. At this moment, all the eunuchs and maids had faces full of sadness. Even Wei Zhongxian was in tears!
After checking the body of Emperor Li Xuanji, Yan Song hurriedly walked to Wei Zhongxian and asked inquiringly: "Eunuch Wei, what happened!"
"Why did I hear people say that the Queen scared His Majesty to death when I first entered the palace?"
Wei Zhongxian pretended to be angry and said: "What kind of bitch dares to talk nonsense and criticize royal affairs? If our family finds out, I will tear his mouth to pieces."
Zhou Yi had previously told Wei Zhongxian that some things must not come out of his own mouth. What he had to do was to guide and let others guess and make associations.
Just like Wei Zhongxian cried out in mourning before, he did not shout "The Emperor was scared to death by the Queen" but instead shouted "The Emperor died".
As for how the emperor died, with so many people present and so many pairs of eyes, they would naturally guess, associate, and even spread the news.
Now Wei Zhongxian did not say whether Li Xuanji was frightened to death by the mad queen who was demoted to the cold palace, but directly took Yan Song to the Yipian Palace not far away.
In this side hall, Wei Zhongxian had the crazy empress tied to a chair with a ribbon.
The Empress turned her back to Yan Song, the treacherous prime minister. When Yan Song walked up to the Empress, the Empress suddenly shook her head and smiled at Yan Song with her extremely scary painted face: "Your Majesty, I am a beautiful concubine. ?"
Yan Song was also frightened by the Queen's appearance and almost fell to the ground. Even some parts that were a little excited after taking the medicine were once again immortal.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stepped forward to support Yan Song and said: "Prime Minister Yan, nothing will happen to you! If you do the same...then my country, Chen State, will be doomed!"
Yan Song gasped for air and pointed with trembling hands at the tied Mad Queen not far ahead: "This...this...is this the Queen?"
Wei Zhongxian pretended to be embarrassed again and said: "Prime Minister Yan, this is the situation..."
Now, after being frightened by the crazy empress, Yan Song firmly believed that Li Xuanji was probably frightened to death by the sudden appearance of the empress.
During this period, Wei Zhongxian followed the instructions of the Book of Changes and did not say a word about the empress scaring Li Xuanji to death.
Yan Song's conclusions were all drawn by himself through what he saw, heard, and felt. As a result, Wei Zhongxian and Li Wanji had many witnesses, and they were completely freed from suspicion related to Li Xuanji's death.
"What can we do now?" Wei Zhongxian deliberately threw this hot potato to Prime Minister Yan Song, who was inferior to one person but outnumbered ten thousand people.
The crazy empress scared the emperor who drove her crazy to death. Although it was natural retribution, it was a huge scandal for a country. For a while, even the cunning Yan Song didn't know what to do.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Song sighed and said: "I'd like to trouble Eunuch Wei to bring all the ministers and officials to this palace. Also, be sure to control the eldest prince as soon as he enters the palace."
Not to mention that Yan Song didn't arrange it this way, Wei Zhongxian himself would also control the eldest prince.
Even if there hadn't been the incident where the Queen took the blame and scared Li Xuanji to death, if the eldest prince learned that his biological mother was thrown into the cold palace and driven crazy, even if it was not caused by Li Wanji and Wei Zhongxian, the eldest prince would probably This account must be settled on the two of them.
Now that it has been determined that the queen will be blamed, all uncertain factors must be settled.
If the eldest prince is not killed together, there is no telling when the eldest prince will make a comeback in the future and kill Li Wanji and Wei Zhongxian.
