He waved his hand and signaled the leader of the secret guards to retreat.

After receiving the order, the leader of the secret guard ducked and disappeared into the darkness.

The Supreme Emperor called Eunuch Hong in.

"The virtuous concubine grants death!"

The Supreme Emperor's voice was low, and after a long pause, he said: "The fifth prince is willing to die!"

Eunuch Hong was excited and looked up at the Supreme Emperor. He saw that the Supreme Emperor's expression was firm and did not seem to be hypocritical.

After all, he had been around the emperor a lot. Eunuch Hong quickly came to his senses and respectfully responded: "Yes!"

It's no wonder that Eunuch Hong was surprised. He has been with the Supreme Emperor for many years and he knows best that although the Emperor values ​​the Emperor the most, he also cares about every child. He thought that when King Cheng rebelled, the Supreme Emperor was extremely disappointed and gave him poisonous wine. After his death, the Supreme Emperor was very depressed for a period of time. Now, he actually directly killed the fifth prince and put him to death!

Eunuch Hong was about to turn around and leave. After some hesitation, he still had the courage to persuade: "Your Majesty, the fifth prince is still young after all. Do you want to think again..."

It's not that he wants to go out of his way. He has been a master and servant for so many years, and he is afraid that the Supreme Emperor will feel uncomfortable after his death. His health is not very good now.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Emperor's firm expression was tinged with helplessness. He smiled bitterly and replied: "Although Jin'er promised to be kind to the brothers, it is only under the condition that the brothers stay safe and abide by themselves."

"Although Song Qige is young, he is very scheming. When he was in the palace, he was protected by Jin'er, but he secretly tried to harm Jin'er with Concubine Xian. How could Jin'er stay?"

"In this case, there is no need for Jin'er to get his hands on his brother's blood!"

Eunuch Hong also sighed after hearing this. It was normal for fathers and sons in the Tian family to fight each other. He only hoped that the Supreme Emperor would take a different view.

Turn around and go outside the palace, preparing to lead the imperial guards to fetch someone.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw the fifth prince, covered in blood, stumbling towards this side alone!

Eunuch Hong quickly stopped him: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

The fifth prince looked up and saw Eunuch Hong, with a look of fear on his face, as if he was about to cry: "Eunuch Hong, I accidentally heard Concubine Xian say that she sent someone to kill the emperor's brother! He was discovered by Concubine Concubine Xian, and Concubine Concubine Xian wanted to kill him. It hit me, and while I was struggling to avoid it, I accidentally stabbed the concubine with the dagger. I, I...I tried, but the concubine seemed to have run out of energy..."

The fifth prince said, holding Eunuch Hong's sleeves tightly with both hands, his face turned pale, and his whole body was trembling.

"This, this..." Eunuch Hong was also at a loss for what to say.

After calming down, Eunuch Hong said: "Your Highness, we still have to ask the Supreme Emperor to make the decision on this matter. You let go first, and I will go in and report."

The fifth prince then let go of his hand and murmured as if he was in a state of confusion: "Okay."

Eunuch Hong quickly went in and told the Emperor the matter.

The Supreme Emperor frowned slightly and said, "Let him come in."

...

In the palace.

The emperor had just sent people to the Xishan Palace to inform the Supreme Emperor about this incident and discuss how to deal with the Xian Concubine and the fifth prince. Soon after, he received news about the Xishan Palace.

The emperor handed the letter to Shu Yuwan: "Take a look!"

Shu Yuwan took it over curiously, read all the lines at a glance, and looked at the emperor in surprise: "This..."

The emperor sneered and said mockingly: "Fifth brother is serious, his acting skills are as good as ever."

Shu Yuwan said: "Now that the Supreme Emperor has spoken, we can't insist on taking his life."

"It doesn't matter. Concubine Xian is dead, and the Zhao family is also dead. Since the emperor father has issued the order, the fifth brother will be imprisoned in the Qingzhu Hall of the Xishan Palace. He will not be allowed to leave for the rest of his life. The fifth brother will not be able to make any splash."

Shu Yuwan remained silent, that was all she could do for the time being.

But she will still find a way to eradicate it!

The fifth prince was already so scheming and ruthless at a young age, and it would only get worse when he grew up. She didn't want to leave any hidden dangers.

After returning to Kunde Palace, Shu Yuwan summoned Qingdai and ordered: "Send a message to Ayu and stay in Qingzhu Palace to accompany the fifth prince."

"Yes." Now the hidden stakes outside are basically in Qingdai's hands.

Ayu was the person that the emperor placed around the fifth prince when Shu Yuwan reminded him to be careful about the fifth prince when the emperor was still in the East Palace. The fifth prince was cautious by nature. Over the years, among the many people sent by Shu Yuwan, There was only one Ayu who gained some trust from the fifth prince.

Nowadays, the people serving around the fifth prince must be like birds and beasts. If Ayu stays, he will gain more trust.

After making arrangements for the fifth prince, Shu Yuwan went to see the two children.

As for the death of Concubine Xian, it did not cause any splash in the capital.

The Supreme Emperor has abdicated, and the Peng family has also fallen. In the eyes of everyone, Concubine Xian is the one who has withdrawn from the stage! What's more, the Supreme Emperor did not have the same affection for Concubine Xian as he did for Concubine Shu. He did not honor Concubine Xian after her death, but she was buried hastily without even entering the concubine's mausoleum.

After hearing Concubine Xian's ending, Shu Yuwan sighed and let it go.
