Chapter 935: Suspicion
Empress Xiao nodded slightly. She glanced at the corpse on the dragon bed and sighed, tears falling down her face.
“Gui Zhi, send a message to the general of the cavalry and invite the King of Yuzhang to come in for a chat.”
After the few of them left in a hurry, there were only Xie Xian and Duo Fu in the room, and the dead Emperor Yong Ping.
“Where is the jade seal?” Xie Xian asked.
“Yes, yes, yes, in His Majesty’s study.””
Take the channel to the top
The Emperor’s bedroom was connected to the study, so they walked around a locked door. Duo Fu took out the jade seal with familiarity and waited for Xie Xian’s next arrangement.
“Imperial decree.”
Huh?
Duo Fu hurriedly took out a brand-new imperial edict from a sandalwood box behind him and placed it on the table. Xie Xian didn’t need to say anything to understand that this General of Wei, Xie Pushe, wanted to forge an imperial edict.
The great sin of killing nine generations.
However, Duo Fu didn’t dare to say it. His nine clans were all in Xie Xian’s hands. If he dared to order him around like this, then he definitely had the confidence to do so.
In any case, if he did not forge the imperial edict, who knew what kind of chaos it would be? He might not even be alive.
Duo Fu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He drank it!
Without needing Xie Xian’s instructions, Duo Fu nimbly began to grind. No one knew better than him what kind of ink the Emperor usually used, and how thick it was.
Until he saw the familiar handwriting on the imperial edict.
If he hadn’t seen Xie Xian’s calligraphy with his own eyes, he would have thought that the Emperor had written it himself. With his clumsy eyesight, it was exactly the same.
Look at this posture, look at this proficiency, who knows how many times he had practiced.
Duo Fu felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to think further.
“Falling Seal.” After Xie Xian finished writing, he flicked his sleeves and lightly instructed.
Dove covered it with a trembling hand.
“This… It’s too new.” She stammered to remind him.
Other than the fact that there was nothing wrong with it, he could already tell. There was no need to mention the others. They were all thousand-year-old foxes. Why would they play Liaozhai?
“It doesn’t matter. This is the best I can do.”Xie Xian didn’t care at all. “Who can prove that it wasn’t written by the emperor on a whim recently? You only need to say that the Emperor did indeed express this edict.”
“Our emperor has always been cautious and cautious, and he is suspicious and guarded. It is not surprising that he left a hand behind.”
Duo Fu nodded. Indeed.
The General of Wei was quite polite when he spoke. It was not just Zhuge Xiaoxin. He was simply too scary. For a while, he didn’t even dare to drink the calming soup. Later on, he couldn’t resist the torture of not being able to sleep day and night. He was irritable and irritable.
After that, she started drinking again.
However, he did not dare to increase the dosage. At most, he drank a bowl.
Duo Fu didn’t know if there was a problem with the Soul Calming Soup. When he saw the Emperor die in the morning, he was already out of his wits. How could he have the time to confirm the life and death of the eunuchs who had tasted it? He stood in front of Emperor Yong Ping and quickly invited Xie Xian into the palace to preside over the overall situation.
He was so afraid that his pants were wet and dry.
“General Wei…”
Xie Xian looked at him and said,”Go and place the imperial edict directly above the signboard of Taiji Palace.” Do your job well, and the palace will need you in the future.”
Duo Fu heaved a sigh of relief. If he didn’t want his life, he would be grateful.
It didn’t matter if he hosted or not. He was still so young and hadn’t lived long enough.
“If you can’t reach it, go find the cavalry general.”
Duo Fu was stunned for a moment before he quickly left. He waved his loose robe and hid his trembling hands that were tightly holding the scroll.
It wasn’t that he had said that the emperors of Daliang died too frequently, and each one was shorter than the last.
It was really scary.
The Emperor had long been prepared. Today’s banquet was to make an example of King Jiang Xia. In the end, before he could fire him, the Emperor himself was killed. Truly, the heavens were unpredictable, and all the lightning strikes were concentrated on the imperial family of Daliang.
Just by killing each other, they were almost extinct.
###
Xie Xian walked out of the study. This time, he did not return to the room where the Emperor had died. Instead, he followed the sobbing sound and found the warm pavilion where Empress Xiao and the Prince of Yuzhang were.
“Empress.” He called out respectfully from outside.
“Come in.”
Xie Xian walked in and saw that the Prince of Yuzhang’s fat face was already covered in tears. His nose was dripping with tears, and Empress Xiao’s eyes were red and swollen.
“Empress, I’m sorry for your loss.”
“The emperor’s funeral matters still need to rely on niangniang to preside over, please make sure to cry yourself sick. I just don’t know… Then what should the nobles of the West Hall do? Please come over, or do you want to return to the residence to attend the funeral?”
“How did my royal brother die?”The King of Yuzhang wiped his snot with his sleeve.”
Empress Xiao looked at Xie Xian. Xie Xian slightly raised his left hand.”Please follow me, Your Majesty.”
He led them to the emperor’s bedroom. Although the King of Yuzhang was young, he was not unreasonable. One look at the way he died and it was obvious that he would not die a good death.
“Who did this?”
“General Wei, do you know?”
Empress Xiao lowered her sobs,”Today was originally the Emperor’s…” The day to deal with King Jiang Xia has long been arranged…”
He did not say anything else.
But there was no need to say anything else.
The meaning behind his words was clear. Prince Jiang Xia was the most suspicious.
The King of Yuzhang glanced at Xie Xian. This person might not be completely innocent.
“After all, we were siblings once. Imperial brother is dead, so how can I not let sister see him one last time?”As she spoke, tears fell again.
Emperor Yong Ping had paranoia. He was timid, suspicious, and sensitive, but he was very generous to his two younger brothers and sisters and never stingy with rewards.
The King of Yuzhang had his own thoughts, but that was only to protect himself. There was no disrespect to Emperor Yong Ping.
With his own brother in power, wasn’t it more beneficial to him than anyone else? He could still tell this.
However, Emperor Yong Ping died.
Empress Xiao looked at Xie Xian. Clearly, she was now following his lead. Seeing him nod his head indiscernibly, she said gently,”I definitely want the Eldest Princess to see him. I was thinking that you were still a young man and could stand up for yourself. The relationship between you siblings is so good. I’m afraid that if I see the Eldest Princess, even I won’t be able to control myself…”
“I don’t even understand. Now that Little Seventeen is here, you can take good care of the Eldest Princess in a while…”
Empress Xiao’s tears were like broken beads.
“The emperor is such a good person, why did he die so miserably?!”
The sobbing sound was not loud, but it spread out intermittently. Everyone’s hearts trembled. They roughly knew what had happened. Outside the West Hall, the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng had practiced martial arts for a few years, so her hearing was sharper than ordinary people.
When he heard that something was wrong, his expression immediately changed.
“Did you hear crying?” She grabbed Xiao Baoxin, her face pale.
Xiao Baoshu was speechless. I think so.”
Prince Jiang Xia cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Baoshu.””Fuma hasn’t been on the battlefield for a few years. This prince is old and doesn’t listen very clearly. So the emperor’s son-in-law is like this?”
