Chapter 274 Royal Secrets
The second prince's rebellion was expected and unexpected. What was expected was that he had rebelled seriously, but what was unexpected was that he was much earlier, so he couldn't wait.
The military strategy is obvious. To capture the king first, Su Shu will be the same. After the rebellion, Yuan Li will first control the entire palace, including his father, the emperor.
Although the emperor was old and weak, he would not succumb to his betrayal son. However, he had a Gu attack and could not resist. He could only let Yuan Li, the former commander of the Imperial Guard, put him under house arrest.
"Ahem." The emperor lay weakly on the bed. While he was still awake, he said to the queen beside him: "Why don't you leave?"
Didn’t the prince whom he was most proud and afraid of arranged a way out for her? But why didn’t he leave in the end and insisted on accompanying him here?
The queen smiled coldly and said, "Of course I want to stay, stay to see how you pushed yourself into the abyss step by step, and how you defeated the Great Zhou Kingdom with your own hands."
She had been waiting for this day for too long, so long that she had lost herself. She had forgotten the Gu on the emperor's body, which was her own hands.
"Ha, so you really can't forget him? Even if I kill him, you won't forget him?" The emperor mocked himself: "Yes, even the Gu on my body is your own hands, what else can you do?"
He knew that his queen had laid a Gu on him, but others didn't know. Concubine Yuan thought that the Gu was laid by her, but it was not. Even when she was under house arrest this time, the queen was secretly operating it.
He hated, hated that he would still occupy Queen Yang's heart even if he died, and even more hated himself. All he got was her body but no heart.
The queen shook her long sleeves and sat upright beside the bed: "So what, so what, no! Now you are a prisoner, and the country of Great Zhou is no longer yours."
When the emperor broke through her constraints and forced himself to raid his home and destroy his door, she was already disheartened. Over the years, she could finally avenge him.
The emperor's face turned pale: "Don't forget that this is Qing'er's country. If it is taken away by Su Shu, Qing'er and Qi'er will sooner or later become prisoners."
"You still have the face to bring Qing'er. Ask yourself, you can give him the right answer. In all dynasties, when did a prince of a country fall to compete for the throne with the prince?" The queen said with a sinister face: "It's not all you let it go. If it weren't for this, why did my son live so hard? Why did Qi'er need to stay away? It's all because of you!"
"Haha, but don't worry, how could Qing'er lose? When you die, it will be when Qing'er ascends the throne."
On the other hand, Guan Xiaoxiao, who had just finished listening to the story, couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that there was such a relationship between your father, mother and uncle Jiang." There were so many books to write about this.
It turned out that the Empress and Jiang Dou's father were a beautiful couple of childhood sweethearts. Unfortunately, they were favored by the emperor at that time, so they married the current Empress home and established the Empress. As for Jiang Bogong, he was forced to marry the woman given by the emperor as his wife and gave birth to Jiang Dou.
The emperor has a high power, and how Jiang Bogong fought against him, the two of them could do nothing except compromise.
In order to prove that they no longer had an affair, the emperor often called Jiang Bogong to the palace to play chess. In addition, he often showed his love in front of him, thus breaking his thoughts.
Later, the second prince reported that Jiang Bogong's mansion was rebelled, and the emperor did not stop and destroyed the entire Jiang family. As for why Jiang Dou was left alone, Guan Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out.
