In the south of Chengzhou, the Dekang army led by General Zhu Guo pursued the rebel Xiao Chengxian all the way south.

After Xiao Chengxian entered the southern part of Chengzhou and the northern part of Sichuan and Shu, relying on the natural dangers of Sichuan and Shu, he left everyone behind.

Even if he continues to Sichuan and Sichuan at this time, he is afraid that he will not be able to trace Xiao Chengxian.

When Xiao Chengxian enters Qianzhou, he will not be able to enter at will.

"General, can you send troops forward?"

The deputy general was also full of fighting spirit and wished he could capture Xiao Chengxian alive to encourage the soldiers.

"No need, Xiao Chengxian is afraid that he has entered Qianzhou. We have rushed to Chengzhou at this time. Without the support of food and grass, the army cannot bear it."

General Zhu Guo shook his head. Although his face was solemn, he felt very happy in his heart.

He watched with his own eyes as Xiao Chengxian's people threw down the body of His Highness the Crown Prince.

As long as His Highness the Crown Prince is completely dead, no one can come and take the throne from the third elder brother.

The reason why he still chased Xiao Chengxian after seeing the body of His Highness the Crown Prince.

I just wanted to stop Xiao Chengxian from raising an army to rebel.

If Xiao Chengxian returns to Qianzhou City, he is willing to open the city gates and support the third elder brother's ascension to the throne.

With Xiao Chengxian's ability, he really couldn't bear to force Xiao Chengxian to death.

But if Xiao Chengxian and the Lord of Jinghua City don't know what's good for them, then he doesn't mind raising troops to attack them.

"Does Dekang have an imperial edict?"

"No."

"Xiao Chengxian killed His Highness the Crown Prince, why hasn't His Majesty ordered Xiao Chengxian to be killed?"

General Zhu Guo looked to the north in confusion. Even though His Majesty was seriously ill, he was not confused.

Is the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not enough for His Majesty to issue an imperial edict and conquer Qianzhou?

"News came from the court that a group of ministers were guarding outside the Yangxin Hall, but His Majesty refused to show up."

The deputy general said and gave the letter from Dekang to General Zhuguo.

"It seems that Your Majesty is really confused."

General Zhuguo snorted coldly, and then ordered the three armies: "Rest on the spot for two hours, and then join me in advancing into Qianzhou to kill Xiao Chengxian, the traitor to the imperial court."

Inside Dekang Imperial City at this time.

The Queen had fainted from crying so many times, but now she finally woke up and went to the Hall of Nourishing Heart to attend to the illness.

All the ministers in the court were kneeling outside the Yangxin Hall. When they saw the Queen's steps, they all knelt down and saluted.

"The Queen, please advise Your Majesty to issue an order to enter Qianzhou and kill the rebel Xiao Chengxian.

Qianzhou has silver mines and strong strength. Xiao Chengxian's assassination of His Royal Highness has proved Qianzhou's ambition.

If we don’t punish him at this time, I’m just afraid that raising tigers will cause trouble.”

These ministers are all supporters of the third elder brother. Now that the prince is dead, only the third elder brother can ascend the throne.

If Xiao Chengxian continues to interfere, the third elder brother will not be able to successfully ascend the throne, and the court will inevitably be in chaos.

If Xiao Chengxian succeeds in seizing the throne, then these ministers will definitely be killed.

At that time, Xiao Chengxian was in the imperial city, looking for flowers, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

All their ministers had spoken out against and ridiculed Xiao Chengxian.

Therefore, once Xiao Chengxian succeeds in seizing the throne, they will never have peace again.

"If Xiao Chengxian wants to rebel, Qianzhou is now an iron wall. Do you think General Zhu can break through?"

The Queen looked coldly at the ministers in front of her, and then entered the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.

"The Queen..." Concubine Chun and Brother San stepped aside and bowed honestly.

If the third prince does not ascend the throne, they will always have to submit to the people in front of them.

"It's enough for me to stay by your Majesty's side. Concubine Chun is pregnant, so you'd better go back."

The queen still spoke calmly, and sat directly on His Majesty's bed without looking at the mother and son.

"Your Majesty, just now... The Queen is feeling uncomfortable. It would be better for you to go back and rest, while I stay with Your Majesty."

Concubine Chun glanced at the desk and said guiltily.

She persuaded His Majesty to issue an imperial edict to pacify Qianzhou and kill the rebels.

But he was afraid that after Xiao Chengxian returned to Qianzhou, he would lead an army to seize the throne, so he thought of drafting his own imperial edict.

But he never thought that the Queen, who had fainted several times, would dare to serve His Majesty in person.

She hasn't finished imitating her imperial edict yet...

"I am not only the mother of His Highness the Crown Prince, but also the mother of the world.

I am heartbroken to lose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But for the sake of Dekang's country and thousands of people, I must cheer up.

You want the Holy One to issue an imperial edict and destroy Qianzhou, which is simply stupid.

Without this imperial edict, there would still be a chance for peace.

If this imperial edict is issued and Qianzhou rebels against the imperial court, do you think that your reckless brother can defeat Qianzhou?"

The Queen looked at Concubine Chun with a cold and mocking look.

"What do you mean, Queen? Isn't it possible that His Highness the Crown Prince's revenge will not be avenged?"

Is this the end of the shame Xiao Chengxian brought to Dekang?"

Concubine Chun wished she could not understand that it was impossible for His Majesty to send troops, probably because His Majesty was thinking of Xiao Chengxian's affection that day.

But is the Queen mad? She dares to be so kind to her murderous enemy?

"Your Majesty has already warned the harem not to interfere in politics.

If you want to be convicted, Concubine Chun, I will send you to the cold palace on behalf of Your Majesty."

After all, Concubine Chun, mother and son had a guilty conscience. They stayed in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, and their names were not justified. At this time, they could only be punished by the Queen...

After the mother and son left the Yangxin Hall, they waited outside the Yangxin Hall with a group of courtiers, not wanting to miss any news.

"Your Majesty, I know that you don't want to issue the imperial edict because you don't believe that Xiao Chengxian will rebel.

You believe in Xiao Chengxian and Su Manrong, and so do I.

Even if His Highness the Crown Prince dies on Xiao Chengxian’s carriage, I am still willing to listen to Xiao Chengxian’s explanation personally.”

As a woman, her husband was seriously ill and her son died tragically.

The Queen just fainted several times in a row, then she calmed herself down and sorted out today's affairs inside and out.

In Dekang City, Concubine Chun and General Zhuguo's Mansion were among the people who wanted His Highness the Crown Prince's life.

When the third elder brother was brought back, something happened to His Royal Highness.

When Xiao Chengxian entered the imperial city, he only brought four guards with him. It would be even harder for him to successfully take away His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Dekang Imperial City.

He could have directly killed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind the palace of the Protector General and raised an army to rebel.

But he took the prince out of the city, burned his body on the way, and then returned to Qianzhou.

In this way, he lost the best opportunity to rebel.

Xiao Chengxian is a genius in military warfare, so it is impossible that he would not consider this matter.

She felt that everything was full of strangeness and absurdity, and she couldn't even believe that the burnt corpse could be His Royal Highness...

"Your Majesty, I rarely pay attention to matters in the court.

But at this time, the country is in crisis, and I hope your majesty will be cautious.

At least we must find out the real culprit who killed the prince and give Xiao Chengxian a chance to explain himself."ωωw..net

The queen knew that Emperor Dekan was pretending to be asleep to avoid Concubine Chun's insistence.

Now they were the only two people in the Yangxin Hall. Emperor Dekan had already sat up and listened quietly to the Queen's analysis.
