Chapter 338: Regicide
Translator: 549690339 |
The door of Taiji Palace was pushed open, and the wind blew and drizzled.
Wei Desheng had already gone back to rest, and his disciple Wei Zhong was on night duty. When he saw who it was, he quickly took a few steps forward and lowered his voice.
“Empress?”
Behind her were seven or eight people, including Empress Wang, eunuchs, serving girls, and trusted nannies.
“I heard that the emperor has summoned a dancer to serve him?”
Before she could finish her sentence, she had already strode inside. When Empress Wang reached the door, the palace maid had already pushed it open. It was as if no one was there. Wei Zhong was dumbfounded, but he did not dare to stop her or make a sound. He only followed Empress Wang into the West Hall.
Incense was burning in the room, and her clothes were scattered all over the floor, falling onto the couch. Emperor Epsilon was naked, hugging the dancer who looked like Noble Consort Liu at the banquet. The two of them were pressed tightly together. The dancer’s jade-like body was indescribably beautiful, like white jade. Compared to her scattered black hair, it was black, white, and white. It was extremely beautiful.
Empress Wang waved her hand behind her, and two tall and burly nannies stepped forward. One of them grabbed Emperor Yu Heng’s jaw, while the other took out a small porcelain bottle and poured it into his mouth.
Wei Zhong was scared silly and stood rooted to the ground.
“Empress…Empress…”
He was originally the Empress’s man. She had sent him to Wei Desheng’s side to serve him since he was young. It took him a few years to finally catch Wei Desheng’s eye.
If there was any movement, he would also pass it to Jiaofang Palace. However, he never dreamed that Empress Wang would use this trick. What could they possibly pour into the Emperor’s mouth? If it wasn’t something that would kill them, the Emperor would take their lives when he woke up. They knew what it was.
He felt a chill in his crotch and peed.
” Empress?!”
After what those two nannies did, anyone should have woken up.
Emperor Yu Heng came to his senses almost instantly. The two nannies no longer pressed down on him. In fact, they were no longer needed. The moment he woke up, he felt a burning pain from his throat to his stomach.
This is regicide!
However, he was already unable to speak. The screams of the dancers who had suddenly woken up could be heard in his ears, but Emperor Epsilon could no longer hear it clearly because it was too painful.
The son killed the father, the father killed the son, the brothers killed each other, and the wife killed the husband.
They were all alive.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be part of the same family. He never dreamed that he would die in the hands of Empress Wang.
At least in his opinion, Empress Wang was dignified and magnanimous. She had a broad vision, but she was not cruel. She never used any underhanded methods against the concubines in the harem.
If he had to pick one person, he believed that the Crown Prince would have done more than Empress Wang. The Crown Prince was impulsive and irritable, regardless of the consequences.
As for Empress Wang…
Emperor Yu Heng looked over. She was facing him with her back to the light, so her entire face was hidden in the darkness. He could not see her face clearly at all. Or perhaps the pain had blurred the consciousness of the.
She only felt that her eyes were frighteningly bright and frighteningly cold, as if they had no emotions.
Don’t blame me. It’s your fault for wanting my son’s life.”Empress Empress
Wang walked forward and spoke softly to him.
Blood spurted out of Emperor Yu Heng’s mouth and he rolled to the ground, right beside the Empress’s feet. The dancer hugged her head and shrank back into the bed. At first, she still screamed, but later on, she did not dare to scream anymore. Her head was lying on the bed, and her body was trembling. Wei Zhong was right behind Empress Wang. When he saw Emperor Yu Heng’s bleeding face, his legs went weak and he sat on the ground. He had already peed m fear, or else he would have been able to face the Emperor right now.
No one dared to look at Empress Wang’s face. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Only the sound of rain outside the window could be heard.
Empress Wang remembered that on the day she gave birth to the Crown Prince, it was also drizzling.
It hurt, it was so painful that it tore his heart apart.
She gave birth inside. At that time, Emperor Yuheng was still the Prince of Wu Ling. He stood guard outside the delivery room and welcomed his first child with joy.
Dancer Zhu seduced the emperor and made him take red pills. He died of an overdosage.” Empress Wang’s voice was cold, and her face was so calm that no emotions could be seen. “Die.”
Before she could finish her sentence, the two tall and burly nannies had already rushed onto the dragon bed. One of them grabbed the dancer’s hair and the other grabbed her leg and dragged her to the ground.
The two of them acted as if they were trying to kill Emperor Epsilon. One of them pinched his chin while the other poured poison into his mouth.
However, the dancer was different from Emperor Yuheng. She was conscious and struggled even more fiercely in the face of life and death. Suddenly, the dancer seized the opportunity to kick the granny who was holding her down. The granny let out a cry.
Halfway through, his voice stopped abruptly.
Taking advantage of this moment of vitality, the dancer pushed the nanny who was pouring the poison. The poison was scattered all over the ground, blood red.
However, she didn’t have time to look. She wanted to live. She thought that as long as she rushed out and shouted that the Empress wanted to assassinate the Emperor, she would be saved. Who knew that when she was halfway up, her loose hair was grabbed by the nanny and forcefully pulled back.
There was no time to worry about poisoning or killing. The two nannies pounced forward like wild dogs and fiercely strangled the dancer’s neck.
And so on and so on, until the dancer was completely dead.
Wei Zhong gulped and slowly came back to his senses. He knew that if he didn’t show his loyalty now, he would be the next to die.
” His Majesty,” he crawled to Empress Wang’s feet and swallowed his saliva while trembling. His throat was already dry and smoking, but he forced himself to calm down and said,””The emperor accidentally took too many red pills and died, is it…Immediately invite the Crown Prince to ascend the throne?”
“A country cannot live without a ruler.”
These words hit the heart of Empress Wang.
However, he said,” There’s no rush. I have an important task for you.”Empress Wang said,” The Emperor passed away suddenly and did not leave behind any assistant ministers. I have to make arrangements for his funeral. Go to the Little Yellow Gate and order them to summon King Jiangxia, King Huaiyang, and Wang Lang to the palace for an audience.” They only said that the emperor had summoned them and that they were not allowed to reveal anything to the outside world. Otherwise…”
“This servant wouldn’t dare!” Wei Zhong’s head hit the ground.” I swear to be loyal to the Empress. Otherwise, I will die a horrible death. I will be a eunuch for the rest of my life without a son to send me off!””
“Alright.”
As a eunuch, if he didn’t have all six of them, he wouldn’t be able to live his life. As long as he could live, no one would be willing to enter the palace to wait on others. Empress Wang believed him when he said that he would be a eunuch in his next life. She brought her trusted eunuch Wang Wei with Wei Zhong.
“In addition, summon Sikong Xiao Yun, Minister of Personnel Xie Xian, and General of the Army Xue Mu to the palace for an audience. And… Xin ‘an King.”
Usually, there were at most five eunuchs who delivered orders.”
“Find someone you can trust.”
“Tell them to enter the palace immediately,” Empress Wang said word by word.”
Wei Zhong’s heart skipped a beat. The empress was really not holding back her good fart. Calling all these powerful officials, Yin Ye, into the palace was the rhythm of revenge and injustice.
After sending Wei Zhong away, she instructed the eunuch Wang You,””Go and personally invite the Crown Prince to Taiji Palace and say…The emperor and I will be waiting for him here. Don’t say anything else, understand?”
“Yes.”
Wang You accepted the order and walked out. He was facing Zheng Zhi, the commander of the central army who pushed open the door and entered. He was the son-in-law of the Wang family in Langya and married a down-and-out branch of the Wang family.
Zheng Zhi was less than 30 years old and had thick eyebrows and round eyes. He had a straight face and looked like he didn’t care when he saw the Yu Heng Emperor on the ground bleeding from the seven apertures of the body..
