Chapter 20
In two days, all this will come to an end, and then he will be able to go back to the mansion to see him.
The author has something to say: cuties who like Wenwen remember to leave footprints, comments are really rare, heartbreaking qaq.
And, the cutie who left a comment will have a red envelope~
On the day of the palace coup, He Zifan had a nightmare. In the dream, Gu Xiao was pierced by an arrow in the chest, and the sky was full of blood in his eyes. Then he woke up from the living fright. ...
That day, He Zifan had a nightmare. In the dream, Gu Xiao was shot through the chest with an arrow, and the sky full of blood came into his eyes, and then he was woken up by the living fright.
Before he could talk to the housekeeper, he found that the breakfast on his table was only a bowl of white porridge and side dishes.
To be honest, this is not enough for him to stuff his teeth.
"This is..." He Zifan turned to look at Jing Qiu beside him, hoping she could give him a reasonable explanation.
Jing Qiu was slightly embarrassed, as if she didn't know how to speak.
Huanchun next to him took the initiative to explain: "Jingqiu went to the dining room this morning to order to prepare meals, but the dining room made these. The servants went to ask the housekeeper, but the housekeeper said that the prince ordered it."
"What does he mean?" He Zifan asked displeased.
Huanchun sighed secretly, and then continued: "My lord said, maybe the mansion let you eat too much, that's why you make trouble everywhere. From today on, your meals will be kept simple."
This is obviously what Gu Xiao said, and the butler is only responsible for relaying it.
He Zifan almost died of anger when he heard the words, and worried about being thrown into the corner by him.
Looking at the little breakfast on the table, He Zifan was in a daze and sulked at the same time.
In order to show that he was speechless to fight, He Zifan refused to eat breakfast with great backbone.
Unexpectedly, before noon, there was a burst of hunger in his stomach.
It was not easy for Huanchun to get lunch. Looking at the bowl of porridge, Liudie side dishes, and a small plate of pastries in the food box, He Zifan shamefully chose to compromise.
The reason why he compromised so quickly was because Huanchun tried to leave the house to buy some food outside the house in the morning, but was stopped by someone.
After questioning, I learned that the prince has issued a death order, no matter who is allowed to go out, and those who violate it will be executed on the spot.
In other words, if he didn't want to starve to death, he could only choose the meals prepared by the dining room.
When the years were quiet in Prince Su's mansion, the palace people in the palace were trembling, and the whole capital was full of chills.
The civil and military officials were also very confused. In just three days, King Su suddenly launched an attack. In the early court, he listed the "ten crimes" of King Zhen and the Feng family, obviously intending to uproot King Zhen's lineage.
Emperor Yu'an was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out, and the whole court was in chaos.
King Zhen took advantage of the chaos to leave the palace and summoned five thousand forbidden troops to attack the palace overnight.
King Su Gu Xiao was brave and resourceful, and summoned the remaining [-] forbidden troops to strangle all the rebels, captured Queen Zhen, and slaughtered the whole family of Duke Feng's mansion.
Emperor Yu'an woke up from a coma and heard the news, and summoned Gu Xiao overnight.
Gu Xiao entered Emperor Yu'an's bedroom with bloody aura all over his body, he didn't even bother to perform the rituals, and just stuck there like a wooden stake.
"Presumptuous, ahem... your wings are stiff now... Li... you don't dare to give up, I... I'm not dead yet... Cough..."
With a wave of Gu Xiao's hand, all the people in the dormitory left the dormitory without a word, and the last palace occupant who left did not forget to close the door behind him.
Emperor Yu'an was horrified in his heart. After decades of being emperor, he quickly discovered the problem.
He never expected that the people serving him would all be replaced by Gu Xiao's people at some point!
"Nie Zi...cough cough...what do you want to do?"
Gu Xiao smiled, and the bloody aura on his body became stronger, as if Shura was reincarnated.
"What is Father worried about? If you are worried about Concubine Feng Gui, as soon as Father dies, I will send her to accompany you."
"Gu Xiao, what do you want to do? Could it be that you want to kill your brother and father?!" Emperor Yu'an's eyes flashed with fear, and his heart became more and more uneasy.
"Isn't it obvious enough what my son wants to do? At the beginning, the death of the queen mother and the lives of dozens of people in the Mu family were all in the hands of the father. The father forgot, but the son dared not forget. In order not to let the mother He and his grandfather's family can't rest in peace, so I can only send my father down to make amends to my mother." Gu Xiao looked at Emperor Yu'an with a smile on his face, as if he wasn't the one who just said that he was going to send his biological father to die.
Emperor Yu'an was frightened and angry, pointed at Gu Xiao and trembled for a long time, unable to say a word.
At this moment, the sound of complicated footsteps and the sound of weapons intersecting came from outside, but Emperor Yu'an seemed to see hope, and shouted to the outside with his last strength: "Guard... Come in and escort!"
"Hey, father really thinks that those people outside are here to protect you? To tell you the truth, those are the people of the big emperor brother. I want to come to the big emperor brother to see that the situation is not good, and I plan to give it a go. If I succeed, turn around and do it yourself If the emperor is killed, the 'criminal evidence' presented in the early court will naturally disappear." Gu Xiao easily snuffed out the last hope of Emperor Yu'an.
"Niezi, how did you poison me!" Xu Shi knew that he was powerless, and Emperor Yu'an raised the last question in his heart.
Emperor Yu'an knew that the reason for his weakness was that he had been poisoned. Now that the poison had penetrated into his lungs, the entire imperial hospital was helpless.
At first, Emperor Yu'an suspected that someone in the harem poisoned him, but now he thinks that Gu Xiao is the one who is most likely to poison him!
"Father is worrying too much. It was not me who poisoned you, but Concubine Feng Gui, whom you have always loved and loved so much. Oh, by the way, Mrs. Xue has already secretly joined Mrs. Feng, and she was also involved in the poisoning. "Probably feeling that it wasn't exciting enough, Gu Xiao threw out another big news.
Hearing this news, Emperor Yu'an vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood one after another, and his face began to turn pale.
Emperor Yu'an had only one breath left, but under Gu Xiao's continuous stimulation, his pupils gradually became dilated.
Probably hating Gu Xiao, Emperor Yu'an looked at him with a ferocious expression before he died, and finally broke his breath after struggling.
Gu Xiao stood aside calmly, until he witnessed Emperor Yu'an die, and then took out the bright yellow imperial decree from his arms.
Familiar with the door and the way, he dug out the jade seal from the bedroom, neatly printed it on the back of the imperial decree, and then put the jade seal back to its original place.
After doing all this, Gu Xiao left Emperor Yu'an's palace without hesitation.
At this time, the battle outside also came to an end.
The [-] imperial troops under Gu Xiao's hands are all elite soldiers, and the [-] soldiers and horses in King Zhen's hands, although they have an advantage in numbers, are unfortunately all worthless scumbags. Of course, there is no suspense about the result.
When the imperial army escorted the rebels to Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao glanced at King Zhen, and then ordered him to be thrown into the dungeon.On the other hand, he went to the imperial study with the imperial decree.
Not long after, the prime ministers who received the news entered the palace one after another.Seeing the blood flowing into rivers in the palace with his own eyes, he vaguely guessed that the day might have changed, but he didn't know which prince would win in the end.
When I arrived at the imperial study room and saw Gu Xiao sitting on the throne, the question in my heart was answered.
Probably no one expected that the throne fell into the hands of the most unfavored King Su!
After the weak prince and prime minister entered the palace, they immediately received the news of the emperor's death.Immediately afterwards, they were taken to the imperial study by Yuan Shou, the eunuch next to the emperor. ...
After the prime minister and others entered the palace, they received the news of the emperor's death immediately.Immediately afterwards, they were taken to the imperial study by Yuan Shou, the eunuch next to the emperor.
Seeing King Su Gu Xiao sitting on the throne, the faces of a dozen ministers were all different, and none of them took the initiative to speak.
Those who can become the pillars of the country are all old foxes who have cultivated to become elites.The current situation in the palace is unclear, and no one wants to be this early bird.
On the way here, they had already figured it out in their hearts. It is logically impossible for such a big event to happen in the palace without alarming the cabinet.As a result, when so many forbidden troops were mobilized, they didn't know it.
The ministers who were not involved in the battle for the crown prince made up their minds to be shrinking turtles.
But there are still people from King Zhen here, and they naturally need to ask clearly before they can know what to do next.
"Prince Su, what is the situation in the palace now, I hope the prince will explain to us." Seeing that no one spoke, Taifu Zhou took the lead to ask, relying on his seniority and being the mainstay of the world's literati.
Gu Xiao calmly took out the bright yellow imperial decree and asked Yuan Shou to give it to the prime minister for review.
After confirming that the handwriting and seal on it were true, the prime minister still said cautiously: "Your Majesty dares to ask the lord, His Majesty's imperial decree must be passed through the cabinet. Why does the cabinet not know about such an important decree?"
Gu Xiao had been prepared for a long time, he first let out a long sigh, and then recounted everything that happened before with a heartbroken heart.
According to what Gu Xiao said, Emperor Yu'an originally called him into the palace to inquire about the progress of a certain matter, but he happened to meet King Zhen leading troops to force the palace.
After hearing the news, Emperor Yu'an was so angry that he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and then ordered him to go to the deputy commander of the imperial army, Wei Xiao, to lead his troops to clear the rebels.
Probably aware that his time was running out, Emperor Yu'an waited for him to come back with a sigh of relief, and handed him the imperial edict he had prepared.
Emperor Yu'an also told him that he had already noticed Feng's wolf ambition.In order not to disturb the Feng family, the imperial decree was not allowed to be handled by the cabinet, but kept in his own hands for emergencies.
In addition to this imperial decree, before Emperor Yu'an died, he also ordered Concubine Feng Gui to be buried for him.
After finishing speaking, Gu Xiao looked at the ministers in front of him, and said meaningfully: "That's the way it is. Now that King Zhen conspired against him and his father passed away, this king has a will in his hand, and he is also the son of his father, isn't it? The legitimate heir of this dynasty? Your Excellencies
