When we returned to Yude Palace, it looked no different from the outside.
When we walked inside, we found that Eunuch Xu had already led people to decorate the mourning hall.
There were white elegiac curtains everywhere in the palace, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Seeing Empress Jing come back, he hurriedly came closer and whispered: "The prince came here just now.
He wanted to rush into the palace to check on the emperor's condition, but the old slave desperately stopped him."
Queen Jing sighed softly and said: "It's rare that he still has some filial piety.
Eunuch Xu, please invite Xue Xiangguo here and tell him that the emperor has something to entrust to him."
Eunuch Xu said in astonishment: "What does the Queen mean?"
Queen Jing said: "It's time for all the people to know about the emperor's death."
Xue Anchao came to Yude Palace half an hour later.
He walked into the palace and was shocked when he saw the situation in front of him.
With tears in his eyes, he wailed loudly and knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, my old minister is too late. , I didn’t get to see you for the last time.”
He was wailing and kowtowing on the ground.
Jing Hou watched Xue Anchao's performance expressionlessly.
Eunuch Xu quietly came behind her and whispered: "Xue Xiangguo has gathered all the ministers and are waiting in the Zhengde Hall.
The prince will arrive soon."
He added: "Now everyone I still don’t know that the emperor has passed away.”
A sneer appeared on the corner of Queen Jing's lips, and I thought to myself: This Xue Anchao is really thoughtful, fearing that the Queen will take the opportunity to attack him, and has thought of all possible escape routes, but he never thought that his beloved son Xue Wuji would have fallen into our hands.
Xue Anchao came to Queen Jing with tears in his eyes.
He completely regained his composure in an instant and whispered: "I have seen the Queen before."
Jing Hou said: "I called Xiang Guo here first.
You should know what happened."
Xue Anchao pretended to be confused and said: "Please forgive me for my ignorance."
Queen Jing said coldly: "I want to discuss with Xiangguo who will inherit the throne."
Xue Anchao pretended to be surprised and said: "Today, I raised this matter in the main hall, but didn't the queen already reject it?"
Queen Jing said: "At this moment, at that moment, the emperor's health is still getting better.
Naturally, I am not in a hurry to raise this matter, but now" she paused deliberately.
"Emperor" Xue Anchao shed two more lines of turbid tears, but I don't know if he was really sad in his heart.
He wiped away his tears and suddenly seemed to have a different face, and said angrily: "You actually covered up such a big thing as the death of the Queen and the Emperor, so what is your purpose?"
Jinghou smiled calmly and said: "Everything the Ai family does is for the sake of the country of Qin.
Does Xue Xiangguo think that I will harbor any evil intentions?"
Xue Anchao said coldly: "Today in the court, the queen should have seen that people's hearts are turning against each other.
It is a matter of public expectation to support the prince as emperor.
Does the queen think that by covering up the death of the emperor, she can cover the sky with one hand?"
The queen's phoenix eyes were full of power, and her jade face was covered with a layer of frost: "It seems that Xue Xiangguo wants to use the ministers to continue to embarrass me."
Xue Anchao smiled and said: "I dare not, I just did what I thought I should do."
He bowed respectfully and said: "The emperor passed away, and the whole world mourned.
I must inform the ministers about this."
He said confidently: " All the ministers are already waiting at the Zhengde Hall, and the old minister must immediately inform them of the emperor's death."
Jinghou said coldly: "I think you should know something."
She looked at me standing aside.
I said clearly: "Xue Xiangguo, Xue Wuji forced his way into Chuxiu Palace this afternoon with the intention of raping the princess.
He has now been thrown into the sky prison."
Xue Anchao's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes became extremely malicious.
He turned to Queen Jing and said: "You" Queen Jing's eyes rolled slightly, and she pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Does Xue Xiangguo want to see the scene of bloodshed in the Imperial City really take place?"

Xue Anchao's expression was extremely complicated.
After repeated hesitation, he finally sat back down again.
Queen Jing said frankly: "I originally wanted to use force to seize the legitimate son, but even if it succeeds, the Qin Dynasty will be severely damaged, and the powerful Zhou Dynasty will take advantage of the situation.
How can I live up to the emperor's entrustment?"
Her beautiful eyes said Flashing with crystal tears, he looked concerned about the country and the people.
Jinghou said: "To be honest, Yuan Ji is much stronger than Yuan Zong in terms of courage and ability.
However, before the emperor died, he repeatedly told me that Yuan Ji should never be allowed to ascend the throne."
I laughed secretly in my heart, Emperor Xuanlong I was waiting by the side when he died, and I never heard him say these words.
Queen Jing's acting skills are indeed outstanding.
There is no truth to the truth.
Now she can say whatever she wants.
Jinghou said: "The emperor said: Although Yuan Ji has always been talented, he is narrow-minded.
This is the biggest concern of an emperor.
If you can't tolerate your brothers and relatives in your heart, you can't tolerate your ministers and generals.
How can you command a thousand-mile territory and lead the army?"
Give all people well-being” Xue Anchao said sarcastically: "It seems that in Empress Jing's heart, only Prince Qi is the best candidate."
Jing Hou said: "Although Yuan Zong is indifferent by nature and lacks the power of a king, he is kind-hearted and generous.
If he ascends the throne as emperor, he will definitely love the people like his own son.
It is precisely because of this that the emperor values this and identifies Yuan Zong.
To be the new king of Great Qin."
This sentence is the focus of Empress Jing today.
Xue Anchao was in a daze and said for a long time: "What does the Queen plan to do with His Royal Highness?"
Queen Jing smiled and said: "This matter should be left to the Prime Minister to handle."
Xue Anchao said: "I don't understand what the queen means."
Jinghou took out an edict that had already been written and said: "This is an edict written according to the emperor's wishes.
Xue Xiangguo can read it first."
Xue Anchao respectfully took it with both hands and unfolded the edict, only to see it written on it: The royal family did not create, the natural disaster did not regret, the late emperor established his business forever, abandoned the world and ascended to heaven.
The eldest heir of the Yuan Dynasty belongs to the heavenly position.
It does not mean that he is extremely evil and rebellious.
The funeral procession is going on, the house is filled with panic, the misfortunes are rampant, the joy is expressed in the sense of presence, and even the music government is summoned, the orchestra is promoted, the music is not prepared, and the delicious food is added to the weekdays, the concubine is chosen to give birth to the child.
In the palace, ugly noises spread everywhere, with relatives and friends, singing and singing, pushing and shoving the palace, and blaspheming day and night.
A group of little people played, built thousands of plans, cost tens of thousands of forging, exhausted the manpower, punished harshly, and were imprisoned in seclusion. increasing day by day.
He occupies the position of a prince, is good at the service of slaves, is the esteemed person of thousands of chariots, and enjoys the work of raising a family.
He sighs from far and near, people and gods are angry, and the country is about to fall.
How can he resume his heirs and guard the great industry?
Now he is deposed as the king of Yingyang.
I hereby order you to welcome Qi Wang Yuanzong and join the compilation of the Great Unification, in order to build up the country and benefit the people.
I smiled secretly in my heart.
It seemed that Empress Jing had already done enough work to dig out all the embarrassing things about Yan Yuanji.
Xue Anchao suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead after reading it.
He stared at Queen Jing and said, "This" Queen Jing smiled and said: "Xiangguo, please look carefully.
The prince is so unscrupulous, how can he inherit the great cause of Qin?"
Xue Anchao smiled bitterly and said: "If you want to impose a crime, there is no excuse."
He put away the edict and said to Empress Jing: "But I don't know how the empress will deal with the old minister."
Jinghou said: "Xue Xiangguo is the pillar of the country.

After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will need your assistance in everything.
The Ai family will definitely treat you as before."
I am afraid that only she herself will believe this.
Xue Anchao said: "Since the queen is so frank, I am not afraid to make it clear that Wuji is my only child.
I ask the queen to spare his life."
Jinghou nodded and said: "Xiangguo, don't worry, as long as Yuan Zong ascends the throne, Xue Weiwei will naturally be safe."
Xue Anchao said: "Don't worry, Queen Jing.
After King Qi ascends the throne, the old minister will immediately return to Qi with Wuji and never set foot on the border of Qin again."
This Xue Anchao was a Qi native born in Qin.
Yuan Yuan appreciated and reused him, and after decades of hard work, he climbed to the position of prime minister.
When Xue Anchao left, Queen Jing turned to me and said, "Look at Yin Kong, can you trust Xue Anchao?"
I said respectfully: "Xue Wuji is in our hands.
We forgive him for not daring to play any tricks, but does Empress Jing really want to let them go?"
Empress Jing smiled and said: "Since the Ai family can make the prince the king of Yingyang, how can they kill his father and son?"
I secretly thought in my heart that if Empress Jing really let go of Xue Anchao and his son, she might really let the tiger go back to the mountains as Bai Dio said.
Queen Jing said to Mr.
Xu: "Go and call all the princes.
They should know about this matter."
She handed me a jade plaque and said: "Go to Chuxiu Palace in person, notify Yuan Zong and Yan Lin to come over immediately, and take a look at Xue Wuji's condition."
In fact, her main purpose was to let me go and see Look at Xue Wuji's situation to make sure that everything is safe.
I nodded and said with concern: "Don't work too hard, mother.
It's better to take the time to rest."
Empress Jing asked: "There is an ice cellar behind Chuxiu Palace.
The location is secret.
You ask Commander Wei to temporarily move Xue Wuji there."
I called Sun Sanfen to come to Chuxiu Palace together.
Qi Wang Yan Yuanzong and Yan Lin had already guessed something from the unusual changes in the palace.
When I told them the news of Emperor Xuanlong's death, they cried loudly and went to Yude Palace.
Running away, it seems that Emperor Xuanlong is still very important in their minds.
Xue Wuji was still in a coma, and the people responsible for guarding him were six imperial guards, all of whom were close confidants of Empress Jing.
I showed the jade token to them, and the leader, Wei Yushan, followed Queen Jing's instructions and moved Xue Wuji to the ice cellar.
I asked Sun Sansan to check Xue Wuji's body.
Sun Sansan probed his pulse, shook his head with a wry smile, and whispered to me: "How many pills did you give him?"
I looked at Sun Sansan in surprise, and immediately realized that one of the girls from Yanlin must have increased the dose because she was afraid that the medicine was not strong enough.
"Is he going to be okay?"
I suddenly became nervous.
It would be troublesome to poison Xue Wuji.
Sun Sansan shook his head and said: "There should be nothing serious about his body, but I'm afraid he won't wake up until ten days and a half."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
The ice cellar was very cold and it was difficult to stay in it for a long time.
I asked Wei Yushan to find a quilt and cover Xue Wuji.
Now is not the time to take his life
