Lin Qingge was stunned for a moment when he looked at the sharp dagger. He didn't expect Concubine An to go into battle in person. Did she not plan to leave any fallback?
While she was stunned, the old minister next to her moved and began to shout loudly.
"No concubine! Your Majesty is the Emperor!"
The first person to speak up will be followed by more voices.
"Yes, what happened to His Highness was an accident and cannot be blamed on His Majesty."
"If the noble concubine insists on having her own way, the entire family will not be able to escape the blame!"
"..."
The soothing voices around him were mixed with obvious doubts.
Zhou Chengzhang must be dead. His body has been lying in the coffin for several days. There is no chance of him coming back to life.
What's the point of Concubine An forcing her into the palace?
The veteran who was the first to speak out said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness passed away. I know that you are very sad. But Your Highness is His Majesty's son. Why shouldn't Your Majesty be sad? It's just that the matter has reached this point and there is no possibility of changing it. Your Majesty, please think twice and don't do anything. It’s a matter of joy for those who have relatives and will be happy for their enemies.”
"A relative hates an enemy quickly?" Concubine An turned her head and looked over, with a mocking look on her cold face, "Who is the relative and who is the enemy? Is the Emperor even the slightest bit sad that Zhang'er is gone? He I don’t even think that I am at fault, everything is Zhang’er’s fault!”
The old minister's expression changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but An Mingzhi spoke: "Mr. Chen, today is not just a state matter, but also a family matter. Since it is a family matter, you'd better not ask too much."
"Family affairs?" The old minister snorted coldly, "Things related to His Majesty are all state affairs. Mr. An, what do you mean by this?"
He frowned slightly, glanced outside, and said coldly: "It's you, together with Concubine An, trying to force the palace! The guards outside have been replaced by you."
An Zhiming said nothing, and his presence as an old god showed that everything was under his control.
Mr. Chen's brows furrowed and his eyes flashed rapidly. It was obvious that he simply came to express condolences and did not expect that things would turn out like this.
Emperor Zhou looked at them and sneered: "Let me see how many people participated."
There was no hint of annoyance in his indifferent voice, and it seemed that what he saw in front of him could not arouse his mood swings: "Shan Shan An knows that alone, he does not dare to have such a big battle."
"Your Majesty seems to have forgotten me." Concubine An held the dagger a little tighter against Emperor Zhou's neck. The pressure was so great that the skin was pressed to the point of pain, but it was still hard enough to cause bleeding.
"you?"
Emperor Zhou looked down at her with pity and helplessness in his eyes: "Even if you succeed, so what? An Mingzhi is plotting for my position, what about you? Could it be that you want to be the eldest princess? The position has been vacant for many years, you know Who do I care about?"
The emperor's transformation from husband to brother may not seem to mean much to Concubine An, who lost her only son.
But once Emperor Zhou appointed Concubine An as his successor, things were completely different.
The empress is the mother of the world. No matter which prince becomes emperor in the future, he will be respected as the empress dowager, with incomparable honor.
This kind of temptation is indeed more tempting than the position of the eldest princess.
It has to be said that Emperor Zhou was not a simple figure to be able to secure his throne as emperor, and he immediately offered the most tempting conditions.
Unfortunately, instead of being happy, Concubine An started to sneer.
She laughed louder and louder, and in the end she didn't know whether it was because she didn't control the strength in her hands or if she did it on purpose, but she actually pulled a bloody mark on Emperor Zhou's neck.
Emperor Zhou's groan attracted Concubine An's attention. She looked at him coldly: "Your Majesty, you don't really think that a lie can become true if you tell it a thousand times, do you? I have been by your side for more than twenty years." Zai, after more than ten years of hearing about your marriage, I’m already tired.”
Lin Qingge reached out and touched his nose.
Painting cakes has really been around since ancient times.
I think after the death of the first queen, many concubines in the harem were eyeing the queen's throne, and Emperor Zhou also made many wishes to the concubines.
Until now, it has become completely false.
I don't know what the other concubines are thinking, but Concubine An doesn't believe this kind of thing at all.
The muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, as if he didn't expect Concubine An to say that.
Soon, he said again: "Don't worry about the dagger, I will stand up immediately."
"I put down the dagger in my hand. Your Majesty doesn't want to establish a queen, but wants to kill me and everyone in the An family, right?" Concubine An shook her head, "I don't dare to gamble with so many lives. Also, my brother He has no intention of becoming emperor, he does all this just for the sake of his concubine."
Lin Qingge suddenly raised his head, whether intentionally or not, Concubine An also looked towards her, her red lips curling into a smile.
But with only one glance, Concubine An glanced at everyone present: "Zhou showed incompetence and betrayed his moral integrity, which caused continuous natural and man-made disasters during the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now he is still killing his sons and offering sacrifices for the sake of longevity. He deserves to die!"
When the word 'Zhou Xian' came out, everyone was stunned.
After a long while, Mr. Chen said: "How dare you, how dare you call His Majesty by his first name?"
"He is not worthy of being an emperor. For his own selfish desires, he has made the whole of Great Zhou uneasy. Do you think such a person can still protect Great Zhou?" Concubine An said coldly.
"Kill your son as a sacrifice?"
"The Star-Zhaing Tower was built for the purpose of immortality. The so-called rituals that your Majesty did to bless the world in the Star-Zhai Tower, as you say, were actually all for his immortality. Also, the string of strings found in the Star-Zhai Tower before The human bone bracelet was made by him!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and a look of surprise flashed across Lin Qingge's face.
Human bone bracelets are very cruel to make.
Every bead is a living thing, and the owner of the bones has to be tortured for eighty-one days before he dies, and he will be extremely resentful after his death.
Everyone avoids such ghost beads.
If something like this appeared in the palace, it should be investigated vigorously. However, after that day, it was as if this incident had never happened at all.
Afterwards, she asked Chu Nanfeng, but he didn't know.
As time passed, I didn’t ask any more questions.
Unexpectedly, the initiator was Emperor Zhou!
In this case, how could he investigate the matter thoroughly?
Concubine An saw everyone's surprised expressions and continued: "Zhou Xian believed in the slander and believed that the human skull beads full of wronged souls could bring him great power. Unfortunately, they were destroyed. So, he targeted his son again. ! Talking about bloodline sacrifice, longevity will be as long as the sky!"
The eyes of everyone in the hall changed.
The pursuit of immortality by emperors is nothing new, but it is unbelievable that they are so obsessed with it that they even refuse to let go of their own heirs.
Master Chen tapped his goatee, as if it was difficult to accept such a thing: "Your Majesty, is this, is this true?"
