My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 942: Chapter 942-Not a Good Death

The Emperor’s corpse was not even cold, and it was unknown if it was completely cold. For the sake of the throne, both sides had already fought to the point of life and death. I said you killed the emperor, I said you rebelled, and you tried to kill the other party in every way.

If the royal relatives were just onlookers, they probably wouldn’t be alarmed and sweat on their noses.

They were also afraid that if they were not careful, they would be involved in the struggle for the throne and be brought to one side. They would be punished by the future emperor.

Or perhaps, they would be as deranged as the plebeian Wang family and kill them all in minutes.

She was so frightened that she was even eating melons. At the same time, she was worried that Imperial Concubine Chu would use too much force and suffocate her son. That way, no one would have to fight. No, although Emperor Yong Ping did not have many concubines, he had many children in the past few years as the emperor. There were still three melons and two dates. However, none of them had Chu Gui’s courage and boldness.

For example, Consort Pan Xian also had a child, but she was trembling as she held the child. Her entire body was filled with rejection, and she tried her best to reduce her presence. She held the Third Prince as if she was about to bury the child in the ground.

She really didn’t want to get involved in this.

As for Prince Jiang Xia, he did not acknowledge the authenticity of the imperial edict, but he did not care about Imperial Concubine Chu at all.

What good would it do him if the son of Imperial Concubine Chu became the Emperor? Imperial Concubine Chu still had the Chu family behind her.

There was also the King of Yuzhang, who was of an appropriate age and was respectful to Emperor Yongping. After all, Emperor Yong Ping was not old, and his son was even younger. What emperor? Wouldn’t he be a puppet to control the government?

Consort Pan Xian had the Pan family behind her, and Imperial Consort Chu had the Chu family. Xie Xian had taken a fancy to the Second Prince, and his birth mother, Beauty Lu, was of low birth. Although she had previously sought refuge with Imperial Consort Chu, in the battle for the throne, she had lost a thousand miles by a hair’s breadth. Imperial Consort Chu would not acknowledge the Second Prince’s orthodoxy no matter what. This also eliminated the possibility of the two of them working together again.

Although Beauty Lu’s background was not prominent, she was able to give birth to the Second Prince in the palace and live safely until now. It was not that she was brainless. She could see through this. Looking at the Second Prince kneeling respectfully next to Empress Xiao, he knew her choice.

In fact, she had no choice but to choose the Empress. If she really got close to Noble Consort Chu, people would believe that she would strangle the Second Prince to death on the spot.

In any case, she just needed to hide behind Empress Xiao to seek protection and comfort. Ever since Imperial Concubine Chu gave birth to her son, she had long since dared not get close to her. Who asked Zhao Yujie to cause trouble for the eldest son, leaving her second son there to attract attention?

Today, she had been pushed out by Xie Xian. Even if she wanted to be good in the future, she would not be able to be good. She might as well walk down the path to the end!

Beauty Lu looked weak, but she was unusually determined. She held the Second Prince’s fingers tightly. Firstly, she was nervous. Secondly, she wanted to remind her son to stand up straight so that others would not look down on him.

..

Xie Xian saw the expressions of everyone around him, until Prince Jiang Xia pointed at his nose and scolded him for bringing disaster to the country and the people, intending to influence the abolition of the emperor.

“Looks like Jiang Xia King is not going to be punished? Not pleading guilty?”

King Jiang Xia’s eyes widened.” I have served four emperors. As a relative of the royal family, I have done my best to serve the Song family. What crime have I committed? Xie Xian, why are you trying to win over the hearts of the people here with your glib words?”

“The Empress has the imperial edict in her hands, and the witnesses are blessed. Even Empress Xiao, Beauty Lu, and the many Imperial Guards lying in ambush outside the East Hall have long been ordered to come to you today. There are many witnesses and material evidence, but you still make excuses to slander the Empress and the officials in the court.”

Xie Xian did not leave any leeway for Prince Jiang Xia. He was going to get rid of them anyway.

“Respecting the Emperor’s will, why aren’t you capturing Jiang Xia King, stripping him of his court clothes, and beheading him in public?!”

The Prince of Yuzhang bit his lower lip tightly. He glanced at Xie Xian and immediately withdrew his gaze.

He didn’t want to get involved in the fight for the throne. No matter who became the Emperor, he didn’t want to be the Emperor. He also didn’t want King Jiang Xia to push him. He could see that the deposed Crown Prince and Imperial Brother had all died in this way. It was too cruel.

Just look at Imperial Older Brother, he has lived like a quail, even the slightest movement of the wind would cause his neck to tighten.

He would rather raise a useless son and live happily for the rest of his life than to court death like them.

Everyone was even more unwilling to be dragged into a hard shell. They were all as quiet as a gourd with its mouth sawed off. None of them were fools. They could tell that this was the final battle. Whoever had a backup plan would win, and whoever was strong would win.

“Xie Xian, I should be the one asking this. Aren’t you going to repent?”

Prince Jiang Xia crossed his arms calmly and put on a sarcastic face.”

“For fame and fortune? For the court? Don’t you think about what the people of Daliang will think of you after what you’ve done? If it was recorded in the history books, what kind of reputation did you, Xie Xian, have?”

“Even if you’re not afraid of what others say, isn’t it really for your family and your wife…Think about it?”

The smile on Xie Xian’s face that was visible to the naked eye immediately disappeared, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

King Jiang Xia couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this.

“If you plead guilty now and kneel in front of the emperor to admit your mistake, I will remember that you once contributed to the country and assisted the emperor. I will be lenient and let the Xie family live.”

“King Jiang Xia, you are threatening me!”Empress Xiao said hatefully.

Other people didn’t know how much Xie Xianhu trusted Xiao Bao, but she knew that he treated her like his life. Xie Xian had a way out, but she had no way out!

Xie Xian clenched his fists and raised his voice slightly.

“The ministers are still disobeying the decree. Do you want to plot a rebellion like King Jiang Xia?”

“It was clearly you, Xie Qianzhang, who plotted to rebel!”Imperial Concubine Chu sobbed,”You are a sinner of Daliang. Even if the Emperor becomes a ghost, he will not let you off.” After she finished speaking, she let go of her son and let him cry loudly.

This mourning hall was finally a little lively.

“Hurry up and take Imperial Consort Chu and the Fifth Prince away,” Empress Xiao said.”It’s disgraceful to be a woman in public!””

It was a mess in front of the mourning hall. At this moment, Jiang Xia Wang Consort Yang also stood out.”We are all relatives of the royal family. Are you really going to watch your uncles and grandfathers be framed to death by rebels?”

“It’s him now, and it’ll be you in the future!”

Before she could finish speaking, the old nanny beside the Empress had already brought a few eunuchs and gagged Imperial Consort Chu. She then dragged the Fifth Prince out with her.

Zhuge Shu led his men to the mourning hall and was about to attack Prince Jiang Xia.

“Who dares to touch me?!” Jiang Xia King roared.!”

Yang Wangfei rushed in front of Jiang Xia King, as if she wanted to kill him first. However, before she could speak, Zhuge Shu’s men held her by the arm and pulled her to the side,”

“If you want to add a crime, you don’t have to worry about having no excuses!”

“You rebels will die a horrible death!”
