Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 494 Usurper and Treason
Inside Zichen Palace.

Xiao Huang's eyes were half down, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

The atmosphere was stalemate, and the air condensed.

Xiao Huangmen, who was kneeling in the hall, was trembling and pale.

The prince was forced to kneel on the ground, his eyes, which were always clear and warm, stared at Xiao Huang, with incomprehensible despair in his eyes.

The queen, the Chen family, the Shangshu... and the other four princes stood aside, apparently testifying against the prince.

Coincidentally, Concubine Ling is also there, but Concubine Xian is not there.

I don't know how long the tense atmosphere lasted.

Only Han Zhan was kneeling in the hall with his back upright, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes were careless and leisurely, he didn't pay attention to all this, as if the person being accused was not him.

"Han Zhan, you are guilty." After a long time, Xiao Huang opened his mouth and said coldly, "If you admit that this matter was planned and ordered by you alone, I can spare the Hou Mansion and not be implicated by you."

Han Zhan chuckled: "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what I said. I said that this matter has nothing to do with me. How can I admit it?"

"Han Zhan, the evidence is solid. Don't argue. This matter has nothing to do with you. Could it be someone else?" Chen Yong changed his voice. It's the prince, not you? This little yellow gate is trying to excuse the prince, so I pulled you out to take the crown for the prince, am I right?"

Chen Yong's words were really venomous, and he was trying to force Han Zhan to admit that the prince had the intention of usurping the throne and did something to murder His Majesty.

In fact, if Han Zhan admits it, the Hou family, who is the prince's confidant, will naturally be involved, and will definitely be executed by all the families.

Han Zhan chuckled: "Master Chen's words are really funny. I was having dinner with my wife at the mansion, and I was taken to the palace after half of the meal, and then I was forced by you to confess. I even The reasons for this are not clear, so what crime am I guilty of if I plead guilty?"

It turns out that His Majesty has had an abnormal headache in the past few days, faints from time to time, and has nightmares again and again. The Tai Hospital can only diagnose the deficiency of dragon body caused by His Majesty's greed for beauty, and His Majesty has frequently taken pills in the past two years. See It seems that the body is strong and strong, but in fact it has long been weak, and there is not much life to live.

It's just that how dare the hospital say such things?
Do you just tell him that you output too much madness day and night, ruining your body, and belching after a few days?
I'm afraid he was killed without saying a word.

Therefore, everyone kept silent, saying that His Majesty was caused by physical weakness, all he needed to do was rest and recuperate, and then slowly recuperate with gentle nourishment.

Everyone knew that this was an excuse, but Emperor Xiao believed it!
At the same time, it became more and more strange, since nothing happened, why did he feel dizzy and have nightmares?

Xiao Huang dreamed for several days that he was back to his youth. In the dream, he held a long sword and personally killed his emperor brother, and took the throne from the emperor brother. He also dreamed of countless souls who died under his sword. , All of them came to him in their dreams to ask for their lives.

Emperor Xiao was so frightened that he would die, for fear that he would be taken away by ghosts,

So I found the most convincing Taoist priest and asked why.

This Taoist priest was found by the Fourth Prince for Emperor Xiao. He has some real skills, and his Taoist name is: Ziwei.It is said that it is the Ziwei star who came to the world, specially to assist Emperor Xiao to rule the country, and it will be immortal for thousands of generations.

Since there are people in the world who can live forever and ascend to immortality, there are naturally ghosts. If so, how should we deal with those ghosts?
Daoist Ziwei pinched her fingers and counted, and her face suddenly changed.

"How?" Seeing his unkind expression, Emperor Xiao was also anxious, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Daoist Ziwei's expression was condensed, and it took a while before he said with a serious face: "Your Majesty... I'm afraid I won't live long!"

"What?" One sentence scared Huang Xiao out of his wits.

Emperor Xiao was very afraid of death, otherwise he wouldn't know how to make alchemy and still believed in the theory of gods and ghosts, so his face turned red and he was furious.

"Say! Who dares to harm me and poison me!"

Daoist Ziwei sighed heavily: "It would be fine if you poisoned it, no matter how powerful the poison is, there is a way to undo it. However, this person used the technique of witchcraft, not only to kill His Majesty, but also to kill His Majesty after death. No reincarnation! Pindao said before that your Majesty's fate is extremely precious, but if you don't ask immortals to ask, you will still be the king of a country in the next life and be admired by all people, but now..."

What he said made Huang Xiao startled, frightened and angry, and his whole body trembled.

"Investigate! Let me investigate!" Emperor Xiao sternly yelled, "He has such vicious thoughts, I will definitely cut him into pieces!"

Daoist Ziwei pinched her fingers again, but sighed: "Forget it, Your Majesty, it's better to put this matter down quietly, don't worry about it anymore, so as not to cause more trouble."

"Why?"

Emperor Xiao wished he could kill this vicious person with his own hands. He dared to usurp his throne and even murdered him. It would not be an exaggeration to implicate the Nine Clans!

"Because of this person..." Daoist Ziwei was in a dilemma, and instead of answering, asked, "Your Majesty thinks who wants to get that position the most?"

Emperor Xiao's eyes sank, his eyes were full of viciousness and viciousness: "Could it be that beast, the fourth child?"

Since the matter of praying for rain, Emperor Xiao has loved Xiao Yide very much, and Xiao Yide is very similar to Emperor Xiao in terms of appearance and temperament, and the prince is mediocre, Emperor Xiao really has the idea of ​​establishing a new prince , and the Chen family lineage made a comeback again, and stood up again, and many ministers in the joint court spoke well for Xiao Yide. Now hearing Taoist Ziwei say this, I thought of Xiao Yide.

Daoist Ziwei smiled and shook his head, "It's fine if it's the fourth prince." After finishing speaking, he added, "Poverty Dao is a person outside the world of mortals and does not participate in these disputes. The reason why he stands here to assist His Majesty is because of poverty This is the mission of Taoism, so Pindao will not favor any side, and this reminds His Majesty-as the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark, and the one that barks the most fiercely has the most ideas, and puts your innermost feelings into consideration. The most obvious expression of desire, but the more courageous and indifferent to the world, the deeper the mind will be hidden."

Emperor Xiao's eyes froze.

The next moment, Taoist Ziwei said slowly: "Your Majesty can go to the East Palace to check, maybe you will find something."

"Prince?" Emperor Xiao instinctively shook his head, "Impossible, the prince was raised by me personally, his temperament is very similar to that of a queen, the most gentle and kind, it is absolutely impossible to do such a vicious thing, absolutely impossible! Do you know what a felony it is to slander the Crown Prince? Even though you are assisting me to guard the Liangjiang Mountains, if you slander the Crown Prince, I will still cut off your head and kill you!"

Xiao Huang's words were resonant, his face flushed with excitement, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and even his cloudy eyeballs protruded outwards, he gritted his teeth every word.

I just don't know if he said this to Taoist Ziwei, or to convince himself.
