The evil king chased his wife 99 times: lady, wait for me

Chapter 263

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The death bell rang throughout the palace, and the entire palace was alarmed. The concubines, maids and eunuchs, and ministers rushed over, kneeling according to their positions from the inner hall to the steps, crying loudly.

Soon, the bell of the national mourning resounded across the land of Dongzhou, and the whole country mourned.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Empress Jiang Zhiyi stumbled in with the help of the court lady, because she was eating vegetarian food and praying for the emperor in the Taimiao, so she was the last to come as the empress.

Jiang Zhiyi is one year older than Shangguan Bing. She is Shangguan Bing's first wife and has a daughter and a son.The appearance is not very outstanding, but the temperament is dignified, coupled with a slightly plump figure, graceful and luxurious.

"Sister-in-law's condolences!" Shangguan Yiqing sighed.

"Didn't Shen Ke say that the emperor would be able to recover? Why did she suddenly..."

"It's an assassination." Shangguan Yiqing whispered.

"Assassination?" Jiang Zhiyi stepped forward to uncover the quilt on Shangguan Bing's body, and sure enough, she saw a hole in her chest, her face changed drastically, "Who is it? Who is so bold!"

"Yes..." Shangguan Yiqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Not sure yet."

Jiang Zhiyi heard the hesitation in his words, and slowly calmed down: "Although I am praying for the emperor in the Taimiao, I still know about the affairs in the palace. Yan Feiyi is here, right?"

Shangguan Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yan Feiyi is already dead, and the rescuer Shen Ke invited was Feng Youruo, the second lady of Yunzhou Fengxiang's family, and the wife of the pavilion master of Zhuyage Pavilion."

"Zi Yihou why bother to flirt with Bengong anymore, Bengong still knows what he should know!" Jiang Zhiyi said while crying.Although she had never had formal contact with Yan Feiyi, she knew very early on that Donghuang had a Yan Feiyi in his heart, and he almost broke his engagement with her because of Yan Feiyi.

Shangguan Yiqing knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she said: "Since you know, don't ask any more, she is no longer Yan Feiyi, she doesn't pose any threat to you?"

"I would rather she threaten me! As long as the emperor is still alive..." Jiang Zhiyi sobbed, trying to maintain her rationality and asked, "Who was serving in the palace when the incident happened?"

"It's Feng Youruo's family of three." Shangguan Yiqing said bravely.

"It's her again! So it's not here to save lives, but to harm people! Feng Youruo! How dare you murder the emperor, I want her to die!" Jiang Zhiyi screamed bitterly, the jealousy and resentment towards Yan Feiyi for many years Finally vented out together.

Shangguan Yiqing helped her up: "Sister-in-law, don't get excited, the truth of the matter has not been clarified yet... Right now, we must first appease the hearts of the people."

Jiang Zhiyi was taken aback, looking at Shangguan Yiqing.

Shangguan Yiqing pouted her mouth outward, there were four old emperor uncles and their heirs kneeling there.Jiang Zhiyi tightly grasped the embroidered handkerchief, she is a traditional woman, her husband is her everything.Now that her husband is gone, it's like the sky is falling, she can't bear it at all!

"Sister-in-law Huang, don't worry, brother Huang has made plans since he fell ill. Although the crown prince is young, but with me around, you mother and son will not be disadvantaged." Shangguan Yiqing comforted her in a low voice.

The Shangguan clan has a large population, and these uncles have always coveted Shangguan Bing's throne, and now that Shangguan Bing has passed away, they are even more eager to move.Jiang Zhiyi also understands the pros and cons, so she can only pin her hopes on Shangguan Yiqing: "Zi Yihou, I will entrust you, this palace and the crown prince!"

"Sister-in-law don't worry!" Shangguan Yiqing nodded vigorously.Supporting the young master is also a promise he made to his brother.

"Thank you!" Jiang Zhiyi turned around and looked at Shangguan Bing who was no longer breathing on the dragon couch. Feeling sad, she burst into tears: "Your Majesty, how can you leave my concubine? You left and let the concubine and the child How do you live?"

As soon as the queen cried, all the concubines also cried, and for a while there was only mournful crying in the entire Zhanghua Palace.

Shangguan Yiqing helped Jiang Zhiyi up, and said loudly: "My condolences to the emperor's sister-in-law. It is important to track down the murderer, but the country cannot live without a king. Fortunately, the emperor's brother left a will two years ago to be passed on to the crown prince, Shangguan Che. Let's do it together!"

"Everything is up to Zi Yihou!" Jiang Zhiyi cried, "I only have one request, and I must find out the real culprit to comfort the late emperor's spirit in heaven!"

"Yes."

After leaving Zhanghua Palace, Shangguan Yiqing only felt that the responsibility on her shoulders was a little heavier.He looked up at the sky, the night had passed, and today was a new day.Even if there is a will, those old uncles who can't find out the truth will not allow the prince to ascend the throne smoothly, and he still has to go to the prison.

In the prison, Ling Yuan lay on the straw and fell asleep.He has been sleeping since he came in last night, not even giving Feng Youruo a chance to speak.

Because men and women were locked in two adjacent cells, if Feng You tried to wake him up, there was nothing he could do.

Lingyuan slept all night, and she thought all night.

She was so confused yesterday that she even suspected him!He is a demon. He has lived for thousands of years and has supreme magic power. How could he compete with a mortal?Besides, Shangguan Bing was just a brother to her, and he had no personal relationship at all, no matter how jealous he was, he would not kill Shangguan Bing recklessly.

Instead of killing Shangguan Bing, he might as well kill Xiao Bairan!

"Aniang, aren't you sleepy?" Han Xi asked as she opened her eyes and yawned.

"Not sleepy." Feng Youruo shook his head, and hugged Han Xi tightly, "Xi'er, can you wake up your father?"

"This..." Han Xi was in a dilemma.

"Can't use mana here?" Feng Youruo asked in a low voice, afraid of being heard by the guards guarding them.

"Mother, Dad doesn't want to talk to you, and it doesn't work if I call." Han Xi looked at Feng Youruo apologetically, "Mother, how could you doubt Dad?"

Feng Youruo lowered his head in shame: "I'm also in a hurry..."

"But you hurt him." Han Xi stretched out his hand to hook Feng Youruo's neck, and hugged her tightly, "Aniang, you shouldn't doubt him if you suspect anyone."

"I know, I regret it too. I wanted to apologize to him but he ignored me..." Feng Youruo looked helplessly at the next cell.

It was cold in the sky prison, even though it was covered with straw, it was still very cold, how could he sleep all night!
"However, Shangguan Bing's death was too strange. My father was killed as soon as he came out with his front feet. Who could escape the strict security and go in to kill people? And we were outside the hall at the time, so we didn't notice it at all! "Han Xi frowned, unable to figure it out.

Feng Youruo sighed, and said sadly: "Yeah, I can't figure it out either. He has been in poor health these years, and it has been worse recently. He basically sleeps on the bed, and even the government affairs are handed over to Zi Yihou as an agent. .If someone really couldn't help but want to kill him, he should have done it long ago. Even if we stop us from coming to Dongzhou, he can kill him. Why is it when we come out?"

"There is only one possibility, that person is targeting Auntie or Dad." Han Xi told the truth.
