"Your Majesty, now you know what Dou Wei is, right?"

Imperial Palace, Yanxi Hall. read

Queen Xie sneered again and again.

An old nun was kneeling on the ground. She had already told Zhao Heng everything about the third prince's life experience.

At this moment, Zhao Heng's face turned pale and his body was shaking violently uncontrollably.

Slowly standing up from the chair, he clenched his fists and roared with all his strength: "Dou Wei, you are an old man who deserves to be cut into pieces, I...even if I die, I will fight you to the death!"

He has always cared about the Dou family's contribution to the dragon. Since he came to the throne, he has given special treatment to the Dou family.

He was given the position of the most powerful minister of Dasong to Dou Wei.

These people also gave the Dou family all the benefits, allowing the Dou family to firmly occupy the position of the most powerful family.

Even if Dou Wei teamed up with other powerful people to control the imperial army in the palace, it was essentially like putting him under house arrest.

His hatred for Dou Wei only lies in the struggle for power.

But he didn't expect Dou Wei to be so vicious.

He raised Dou Wei's son for twenty-five years.

And he has always maintained his affair with Concubine Dou.

Either of these two things is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

He, Zhao Heng, was indeed incompetent, greedy for enjoyment, and timid and afraid of death.

But no matter how you say it, he is the emperor of Dasong and a man.

Dou Wei bullied him like this, how could he endure it anymore!

"How can the emperor break the deadlock with Dou Wei now? This matter is causing a storm in the city. No one in Jinling City knows about it. Everyone is afraid that Dou Wei will jump over the wall and hurt the emperor's life." Empress Xie said in a serious voice: "After all, Dou Wei's character, the emperor I know better than my concubine.”

When Zhao Heng heard this, his eyes were gloomy.

He had no other way to go, and Dou Wei had no other way to go.

This matter has become known to the world, and he must kill the third prince and Concubine Dou to rectify the emperor's course.

Judging from the correspondence between Dou Wei and Concubine Dou, Dou Wei and Concubine Dou had a deep relationship.

In the letter, their son the third prince also regarded it as a treasure.

In the past, he had also wondered why Dou Wei was so close to the third prince.

At that time, he just thought it was his uncle's love for his nephew, so he didn't think much about it.

Now he suddenly realized it.

Therefore, if he wanted to kill the two of them, Dou Wei would definitely not agree. Instead, he would take desperate risks to protect the two of them, which would be detrimental to him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Immediately, he looked at Queen Xie who looked indifferent.

He knew that this incident would not only humiliate him, but also cause rifts between powerful families.

The powerful families are fighting against each other, but all along, they just want to support their own prince to ascend the throne.

But Dou Wei's doing this is tantamount to humiliating them.

In the future, they will send their daughter to the palace as a concubine.

If the third prince's lineage occupies the throne, the third prince's son will be the future emperor.

At that time, wouldn't they be letting their daughters continue to produce heirs for the Dou family?

All princes born to concubines are of Dou family blood.

They fought back and forth to support this prince and that prince, but in the end, didn't the Dou family win?

With such evil behavior, it is impossible for them not to alienate the Dou family and be wary.

"The only ones who can help me right now are the Xie family. I know what you want. As long as you stop Dou Wei for me, I will make the eldest prince the crown prince." Zhao Heng said slowly.

He knew very well that the only force in Jinling City that could compete with Dou Wei and Xiao Cheng was Xie Duan.

After all, Ningzhou, where Jinling is located, is the territory of the Xie family.

This is also the reason why he chose Xie's daughter as his queen, just to balance Dou Wei's power.

If Dou Wei wanted to kill him, he had to get through the Xie family first.

"Your Majesty should have made Gang'er the crown prince long ago, otherwise there would be no trouble like today." Queen Xie was overjoyed.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly entered the Yanxi Palace and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Queen, thank you Shangshu for sending the news. Xiao Cheng is leading troops towards the palace."

When Zhao Heng and Queen Xie heard this, their expressions changed.

The Jinling Forbidden Army is divided into the Inner City Forbidden Army and the Outer City Forbidden Army.

The Forbidden Army in the inner city is responsible for guarding the palace, and the Forbidden Army in the outer city is responsible for guarding the defense of Jinling City.

Xiao Cheng has always been in charge of the outer city forbidden army, and the inner city forbidden army has always been in charge of Yang Feng.

After Yang Feng was exiled, the general who succeeded Yang Feng was assassinated.

Afterwards, the forbidden army in the inner city was controlled by powerful generals.

Since then, although Zhao Heng has been able to enter and leave the palace freely, seemingly the same as before, he is actually under house arrest.

However, due to the fighting between clans at that time, Xiao Cheng was not in control of the generals of the Forbidden Army in the inner city.

Each family elected one of their own to serve as the general of the inner city's forbidden army to prevent one family from leaving alone.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the original concerns of other powerful families would come true.

"Without the emperor's military talisman, the imperial army cannot be mobilized. Xiao Cheng led the troops without the emperor's order. There is no doubt that he wants to rebel." Empress Xie almost broke her silver teeth.

Dou Wei, this is a broken jar.

He must have known that if his conspiracy was exposed, he would have no choice but to force the third prince to the throne.

Because any other prince who ascends the throne will remember the rebellion committed by his Dou family.

As a result, he was afraid of his Dou family and tried to find ways to weaken his Dou family and finally eliminate them.

In history, there were many powerful families who were jointly strangled by the royal family and other powerful families.

No matter what, the princes are all surnamed Zhao, and they fight each other, but in the end, Dasong Jiangshan will all be surnamed Zhao, and the Dasong royal family will not change their surname.

And he, Dou Wei, has obviously crossed the line.

"Please, the empress and the emperor, please immediately go through the west gate guarded by General Xie An. After leaving the palace, go to the north gate. Our people are there. There will be soldiers from the Xie family to meet the emperor and the empress." The eunuch continued.

Then he remembered something and whispered something to Queen Xie.

Queen Xie nodded lightly and said to Zhao Heng, who looked a little worried: "Uncle Guo said that in order to praise the country, please establish a heir apparent first."

"They are all bastards!" Zhao Heng cursed in his heart when he heard this.

Then there was another wry smile. How could these powerful people ever care about their own life and death? It was only for their own benefit.

After thinking about it, there was no other way, so he had to ask Liang Cheng to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write the imperial decree and establish the eldest prince as the prince.

After the imperial edict was completed, Queen Xie smiled brightly, put the imperial edict in her sleeve, and said to the young eunuch: "What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly lead the way."

After walking a few steps outside the palace with Zhao Heng, she said to a palace maid: "Go and fetch Concubine Mi immediately and escape from Jinling together."

The eldest prince is now the crown prince and will be the emperor in the future.

For her, in addition to preventing Dou Wei from supporting the third prince to ascend the throne this time, she also wanted to stabilize King Yan.

Because of this, she thought of rescuing Concubine Mi together.

Otherwise, once Xiao Cheng takes control of the palace, it will definitely be detrimental to Concubine Mi.

If Concubine Mi dies, King Yan will truly have nothing to worry about, and no one will be able to restrain him.

But she still wanted to use King Yan to deal with the Dou family for the time being and stabilize the country for the eldest prince. After the eldest prince ascended the throne, she would consider dealing with King Yan.

When Queen Xie ordered the maids, Zhao Heng quickly glanced at Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng nodded secretly.
