Wishful Things

"..." Emperor Qingming was so enraged that his whole body trembled slightly: "Save yourself?! I see that you are clearly a wolfish ambition, and you don't know how to be satisfied!"

"So what? Since the situation is irreversible, why can't I take advantage of the situation?"

The king of Xiang looked straight at the emperor, without any respect or fear in his eyes: "The same surname is Xie, and the same is a concubine. Since you can sit on this throne, why can't I sit?!"

Emperor Qingming's eyes were as cold as ice.

"What did you say--"

Are they both concubines? !

In the eyes of this humble person, can he be compared with him? !

His biological mother was Empress Huiren, who was conferred by the first emperor himself and enshrined in the imperial mausoleum to receive incense from all the people!

He——is the eldest son of the Xie royal family!

"Brother Huang, don't you really understand?" King Xiang put his hands in front of him, and stood up slowly under Emperor Qingming's glaring eyes. This was the first time that Emperor Qingming saw unwillingness in the eyes of this fourth brother.

"I have been by your side since I was a child, and together with you secretly targeted and dealt with the second brother. Why do you think it is? Isn't it because he is a descendant, he has a good family mother, and an uncle who holds military power! And I am a humble bastard like you, we are the same kind of people!"

King Xiang's eyes were extremely red, and the expression of unwillingness on his face was undisguised. He suddenly raised his trembling fingers and pointed at Emperor Qingming behind the dragon case——

"But later your mother and concubine were posthumously named queen, and that's not enough... You also sat on the dragon chair and became the master of this Daqing country, and also my monarch! If you and I were in a different situation, and the person sitting there was me now, wouldn't you feel it's too unfair?!"

This sense of injustice and gap was something he didn't even feel when his second brother, who he always hated, sat on the throne!

He always wanted to ask one question——Why? !

The atmosphere in the hall was tense and cold to the extreme.

Emperor Qingming's wide sleeves brushed across the dragon table, and he clenched something tightly in his palm. He walked down the imperial steps step by step with heavy and slow steps.

That dragon robe seemed to be his confidence and coercion, allowing him to look at the Yaodi who was standing in the hall and described it as a mess with the eyes of an ant.

However, every word the other party said just now was like a pair of extremely sharp long needles, which had pierced fiercely into the most hidden place in his heart.

Seeing Emperor Qingming walking slowly step by step, the King of Xiang stood where he was and looked at him without hesitation.

People have come to a dead end, but there is nothing to be afraid of - what's more, he knows better than anyone else that if the other party strips off this dishonest dragon robe, he is just like him in his bones!

Thinking of how he had bowed his knees in front of the other party all these years, like a domestic dog wagging its tail, the King of Xiang suddenly laughed, stared at Emperor Qingming, shook his head and said, "At least my mother came from a family of innocent doctors, and she was kind to the former emperor to save her life... To be honest, the biological mother is just a lowly foot-washing maid. Before entering Beijing, the emperor's brother, who had no status at all, may not be as good as a courtier!"

"..." Emperor Qingming gritted his teeth, and smiled angrily, his eyes were extremely sinister: "... I think you are crazy! Collaborating with the enemy and treason, making crazy words and committing crimes... No matter which one it is, I can cut you into pieces!"

"Brother Huang doesn't need to list the crimes for me..." King Xiang stared closely at Emperor Qingming's eyes: "After all, if we really want to talk about it, Brother Huang's hands are no cleaner than mine...Even Brother Huang personally taught me how to do these things. Could it be that Brother Huang has forgotten?"

Emperor Qingming's face turned blue, and he interrupted with a trembling voice: "Shut up!"

"It seems that the emperor still remembers!" King Xiang suddenly laughed again, his shoulders shrugged: "That's right, doing such a heartless thing must be a nightmare every night!"

As he said that, he took another step forward and said, "Brother Huang, I still remember my father at that time..."

"I tell you to shut up...!"

Emperor Qingming suddenly raised his hand, and the ruby ​​dagger that had been tightly held in his palm pierced King Xiang's heart.

King Xiang's figure suddenly stiffened, and his pupils constricted suddenly.

Looking at these eyes, at this moment, Emperor Qingming only had one voice in his mind - this person must not be allowed to leave alive today, absolutely not!

The sharp dagger was mercilessly pushed deeper into the flesh and blood, almost piercing the chest of the person in front of him.

"thump!"

The man's tall figure fell heavily.

Emperor Qingming looked condescendingly at Yaodi who fell at his feet, his face quickly turned pale and terrifying, his eyes widened from pain, and his bloody chest heaved unevenly.

"The King of Xiang colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country. He wanted to murder the Queen Mother, and colluded with Sun Taifei to blame Ji Shangshu. This is an unforgivable crime."

Emperor Qingming's tone sounded calm and cold: "After the crime was exposed, he wanted to try to harm me, and now he is punished on the spot—"

Li Ji lowered his head and replied softly: "Yes."

The other two inner eunuchs kept their heads down, not daring to make a sound.

King Xiang's body was quickly taken down.

The blood on the gold bricks was also wiped clean, the window lattice was pushed open, and the fresh air swept away the bloody atmosphere without leaving any traces.

Word spread quickly.

The king of Xiang colluded with the enemy and poisoned the queen mother...

Under the indistinguishable debate, he even went crazy and wanted to harm the emperor, so that he ended up being killed by the guards on the spot...

It all happened so fast.

From the impeachment of the Ming Yushi in the early dynasty to the death of King Xiang, it only happened in one day.

However, the search of Xiang Wang Mansion by the police guards has not stopped.

Although the king of Xiang is dead, the matter of his collusion with Dongwu has not been fully investigated. The matter is of great importance. There are many things worthy of in-depth investigation and scrutiny.

But in Xiang Wang's mansion, an accident still happened.

The six-year-old son of Princess Xiang and King Xiang disappeared——

Emperor Qingming was furious because of this, and ordered the criminal guards to find out the person within three days, to see the person alive, and to see the corpse if dead.

However, after three full days, there is still no trace of Princess Xiang's mother and child. Instead, under the bed in Princess Xiang's bedroom, an entrance to a secret passage was discovered...

The secret road leads to a courtyard on the back street that no one lives in all year round. When the police guards found this courtyard, it was already empty.

Looking at the old house that seems to have traps everywhere, even if you step on it, you will doubt whether there is a secret passage under your feet. Han Yan, who is so tired, feels that there is no way to find it.

"From the recent actions of the king of Xiang, it can be seen that he is not a man without a city. Since he has chosen this path, it is inevitable to leave some backup."

In Xuesheng Tea House, on the second floor by the window, Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi were sitting and drinking tea.

Xu Mingyi nodded: "But this happened so suddenly, King Xiang has no chance to use this secret passage."

On the contrary, Princess Xiang reacted quickly enough, or she was guided by King Xiang's confidant——

good evening everyone~
