Chapter 283 Death of Xiao Shen
Prince Huai's Palace.

King Huai changed out of his golden monk's robe and put on a dragon robe that represented his status. He only wore a string of red Buddhist beads on his wrist, and his whole body was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Qu Su waited outside the door with his hands hanging down, staring at the snow on the ground that had not yet melted, wondering what he was thinking.

King Huai came out of the house wearing a black cloak and handed him a letter, "Notify Tiedan and act according to the plan."

Qu Su took the letter, put it in his arms, bowed, and retreated respectfully.

Seeing Qu Su leave, King Huai's lips curled up.

It seems that his good nephew will hand over the throne to him today, but he thought he would have to wait for some time.

As expected, no one in that generation could be helped up. The only one who could stand up was killed by his elder brother, the emperor, due to a little trick he used.

The emperor's brother is really cruel. After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

That's not right. My royal brother has always believed that he was cuckolded and that Xiao Fengyi was not his son. Otherwise, how could he have judged the Eastern Palace to be in treason just because of 500 Tartars?

His niece helped him a lot by conquering the grassland.

When he sits on that position, he will definitely make her a princess with an iron hat.

By the way, the white tiger has to come over. Of course, the emperor must have the best things in Dayu.

At the same time, a fast horse rushed from the imperial tomb to the palace.

Just before King Huai entered the palace, a man riding a fast horse came in front of Xiao Shen.

When the cloak was lifted, it was none other than the former chief eunuch Li Fugui.

"Your Majesty, this is something left by the late emperor." Li Fugui respectfully presented a black wooden box.

Li Shuang'an took it, opened it and checked it. After confirming that there was no danger, he presented it to Xiao Shen, who looked haggard.

Xiao Shen took a look and saw a letter and a thumb-sized porcelain bottle in the wooden box.

After opening the letter and reading it quickly, Xiao Shen showed a strange smile on his face.

I didn't expect that woman Liu Pianran could be of great use even after her death.

My father used her corpse to raise a Gu, but he never expected that it would actually come into being.

You must know that the corpses of the fifth princes and others all failed.

He handed the porcelain bottle to Li Shuang'an and gave him a few instructions.

Li Fugui completed his mission. Xiao Shen anticipated his own fate and pulled out a thick stack of banknotes and a secret decree from his sleeve and handed them to Li Fugui personally.

"When this matter is over, you can take your godson and leave."

"To the northwest."

"Tell Xiao Ying all the truth."

"It can be regarded as the last gift that I, as an uncle, leave for her."

Li Fugui knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."

……

……

When King Huai entered the palace, he saw Xiao Shen, who was wearing imperial robes and sitting on the dragon throne.

He raised the corners of his lips and bowed halfheartedly.

Xiao Shen didn't care either, he turned around and said, "Please take a seat, and serve tea."

Tables, chairs and hot tea were soon set up in the palace.

King Huai raised his eyebrows and sat down on the chair.

Things have come to this point, there is no point in pretending any longer.

He picked up the hot tea, but did not drink it. Instead, he looked at the unconcealable grayness on the young emperor's face with interest.

"Your Majesty summoned me here. What's the matter?" he spoke first.

Xiao Shen smiled and picked up the bright yellow imperial edict in front of him, "This is the imperial edict of succession."

"As long as the uncle lets the queen and her unborn child go, I will put my seal on the edict. How do you think?"

King Huai seemed to have expected this. He put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty?"

After a pause, he suddenly gave a malicious smile.

"How could I hurt my own child?"

Xiao Shen's breathing stagnated, "What... did you say?"

King Huai laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. "My dear nephew, you still don't know the true face of your queen, right?" "She realized that you were a grasshopper after autumn, so she took the initiative to climb into my bed and got pregnant with my child."

"She originally wanted to kill you so that she could become the queen mother because of her son's status. Unfortunately... God will let her know that she is not destined to be the queen mother."

"You thought the child was yours, but if you calculate the time carefully, is it really yours?"

"She is just a slut who only cares about fame and fortune. Is she worth you plotting for her until your death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman in luxurious clothes suddenly rushed out from behind the screen.

"Your Majesty! He is talking nonsense! I didn't do that!" It was a very cold day and Lu Qingqing was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

She didn't expect that King Huai would tell her what she had done so openly. Wasn't he trying to kill her?

A fishy-sweet taste welled up in Xiao Shen's throat and he forced himself to swallow it.

That's it.

He opened the edict of succession, stamped it with the imperial seal, and threw it into the hall.

Xiao Shen leaned on the dragon throne, holding on to his last breath.

"I and the Queen are deeply in love. After I die, Queen Lu Qingqing will be buried with me."

He glared at Lu Qingqing who was kneeling on the ground, with a look that contained a warning.

Xiao Shen bit open the poison sac hidden in his mouth without hesitation and died on the dragon throne.

The young emperor closed his eyes with a heart full of resentment and resentment.

Uncle, I'll wait for you on the road to the underworld.

Seeing with her own eyes that Xiao Shen was no longer moving, Lu Qingqing crawled over using her hands and feet to pick up the edict of succession, and knelt down to King Huai.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty." She held the imperial edict with a beautiful smile, but her voice was trembling.

King Huai raised his hand to take the imperial edict, bent slightly, and raised his hand to touch her face.

Lu Qingqing's back was stiff, and her carefully made-up face showed a flattering expression.

Then, that big hand grabbed her neck.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the noble lady with a bulging belly fell to the ground.

King Huai straightened up, pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and threw it on Lu Qingqing's face.

"Where is the secret guard?"

He spoke in a deep voice.

After a long time, no one came out and no one responded.

Pulling the corner of his lips, King Huai ordered, "Since you don't want to be used by me, there is no need to keep you."

"Dragon Guards, listen up - all secret guards, kill them all without mercy."

……

……

In the suburbs of Beijing, in the villa that Xiao Shen purchased when he was still a prince.

Everyone was packing up quickly.

Liu Mingwu stood in the yard, looking up at the inky black sky.

She had a feeling that maybe... she wouldn't survive the night.

People have a certain premonition when they are about to die.

As expected, at three o'clock in the morning, a group of masked men in black came rushing in from all directions.

Liu Mingwu sat upright in the main courtyard, protected by a dozen guards.

Unfortunately, how could these people be a match for these men in black?
But they were all killed in a moment.

The leading black-clad man pointed an arrow directly at Liu Mingwu's chest and said, "Madam Liu, my master said that if you hand over the money in your hand, you can live."

Liu Mingwu guessed who the "master" the other party was referring to.

She opened her mouth to speak, but a crossbow arrow, accompanied by a strong wind, instantly pierced her neck.

Long Si was shot by an arrow and turned around and ran away.

It was cold and the roads were slippery, so by the time he received the order and rushed over, the villa had already been occupied by someone else.

So when Liu Mingwu was about to tell him the location of the money, he shot her to death with an arrow.

This group of people can't get what the girl can't get.

God bless, I hope the girl will give him a lighter punishment because he has made amends for his mistake and did not let the silver fall into the hands of the enemy.
