Chapter 342: Chapter 342: A Change in the Heavens

Sikong Xiao was stopped in front of the palace.
The ten or so people were all in high spirits, and their temples were bulging. Others might not be able to tell, but Sikong Xiao was a martial artist, and it was obvious at a glance that these people were all kung fu experts.
“Who are you? Why are you blocking my way? Do you know who is blocking my way?!”The imperial eunuch shrieked,” Get out of the way. Otherwise, when I call for help, the Imperial Palace is right in front!”
Qing Feng cupped his hands.” I’m the servant of the Xie family in Black Clothes
Alley. I have something to tell Sikong Xiao.””
The eunuchs didn’t recognize him, but Sikong Xiao recognized Qingfeng. His shadow was everywhere around his son-in-law. He was a trusted aide.
“What is it?” Sikong Xiao saw that Qingfeng was standing still and didn’t come forward. He thought that Qingfeng had something private to do, so he jumped out of the car and walked over.
Before he could stand still, he heard Qing Feng whisper,’”‘My master called me to tell Sikong something-the emperor has passed away-
Before he could finish, the eunuch rushed him.
“Lord Sikong, shouldn’t we be faster? The emperor is getting anxious and
angry, but I can’t afford it.”
-Please follow me to the Xie Mansion. Lord Lang and his wife are waiting for
Sikong.””
The source of the news was not clear, and he was worried that Sikong Xiao would not believe it, or delay it for a while and attract the attention of the
Royal Forest Guards.
Sikong Xiao believed him. Xiao Baoxin had already informed him that after
Noble Consort Liu’s death, Emperor Yu Heng had also died in less than two years. He did not expect the Emperor of this lifetime to die so early.
He felt a little sad. Emperor Yu Heng was a heroic figure and also his Bo Le, but he was suddenly gone.
The emperor had passed away, and he had even secretly summoned the ministers into the palace. It was obvious that he would not die a good death.
This could explain why his son-in-law had sent people to stop him from entering the palace.
Although Sikong Xiao was a martial artist and did not understand the twists and turns of the court, he was not stupid.
He knew it was a trap, but he still jumped in.
“Wait a moment.”
Sikong Xiao got on the ox-cart and lowered the curtain.
“We-”
Before the eunuch could finish his sentence, Sikong Xiao knocked him unconscious with a wave of his hand. He lifted the curtain and said to Qingfeng,””Let’s go, lead the way.”
Qing Feng silently gave him a thumbs up. If he was a general, who cared if he was a eunuch eunuch or not? He would just be knocked down.
###
Yang Shao came to the Xie residence right after Sikong Xiao.
Xie Xian naturally could not tell him the truth. The news that Xiao Baoxin heard only said that someone in his palace had risked his life to spread it.
This matter couldn’t be exposed, so he let him take on this name.
“Think carefully, if Xin ‘an King succeeds, Brother Yang will naturally enjoy endless glory and wealth. But now that the Empress had struck first, she did not dare to say that she would not succeed. There was always a chance. It depends on Brother Yang’s choice.”
Xie Xian and Yang Shao had laid out their ugly words.
“Brother Yang’s martial arts are high, I think the guards in my house might not be able to stop Brother Yang.”
Yang Shao was stunned when he heard this. How could Empress Wang kill the Emperor?
Regicide!
Empress Wang, this b * tch, was really ruthless. She killed him just like that!? It was something he would never have dreamed of. He thought that the one at home could probably do the same. For the sake of glory and wealth, he would do anything to sell himself.
“Brother Xie, what are you saying!” Yang Shao said righteously,”Yu Gong, the Emperor and I have the grace of knowing each other; In private, with my friendship with Brother Xie, and now that we are family, how could I help the tyrant and side with the Crown Prince?”
“Brother Xie, don’t worry. I risked my life to spread this news…Don’t you dare snatch this credit from me.” he said half-jokingly.
Xie and Yang looked at each other and smiled, but they did not feel relaxed at all They both knew that it would be fine if this matter succeeded, but if they failed, it would be a great crime of rebellion and the execution of nine generations.
Xie Xian being able to find him was out of Yang Shao’s expectations. After all, if he had made up his mind to join the Crown Prince in this matter, with his martial arts, he could kill his way out or kill as many as he could. It would be a great contribution to the Crown Prince.
Of course, he wouldn’t choose the Crown Prince, not only because he knew the ending of the Crown Prince in his previous life.
What he said to Xie Xian just now was all from the bottom of his heart. He could not do anything for the sake of glory and wealth.
Take refuge in the prince by virtue of the minimum amount of merit to take the shot to kill the prince, or put Xie Xian to kill the prince, or put the Xin ‘an king to kill the sacrifice flag, but he did not come out, and his life creed contradicts.
###
The two of them decided to confront each other on the spot when the Xin ‘an King arrived.
However, after waiting and waiting, the men of sacrifice that Xie Xian had sent out did not return. Instead, the butler directly brought the Xin ‘an King over. The Xin ‘an Prince was dressed in a servant’s clothes and had a gray headband on his head. His face was pale and he was clearly still in shock.
” Minister Xie, 1-” Xin ‘an Prince rushed over, but he was halfway through his sentence when he saw Sikong Xiao and Yang Shao standing beside him. He suddenly swallowed his words.
“I sent people to pick up the six kings. Where are they?”Xie Xian asked.
Xin ‘an King shook his head.
“Sixth King King.” Xie Xie pulled the Xin ‘an King’s hand and led him inside. Clear Wind and Bright Moon walked outside and closed the door. Sikong Xiao suddenly knelt in front of Xin ‘an King, tears streaming down his face. When Yang Shao saw this, he quickly knelt down as well. He couldn’t cry, so he lowered his head to make up the numbers.
“The Emperor has passed away!” Even though Sikong Xiao said this with sorrow, he didn’t dare to raise his voice.
When the Xin ‘an King heard this, tears immediately flowed down his face.
-It was General Yang Shao who risked his life to spread the news…” Xie Xian shifted the topic to Yang Shao.” Empress Wang barged into Taiji Palace at night and poisoned the Emperor to death…
” This vicious woman, how dare she?!” The king of Xin ‘an was shocked. Emperor Yu Heng had already said that he lived in the eastern suburbs and would not summon him at night if there was an urgent matter. Once he sent someone to summon him at night, it would mean that he was about to die.
” But that’s a matter for a long time to come.” Emperor Yu Heng had drunk wine at that time, and his eyes were red. “I don’t know how long I can live either.,.1 only hope that before I die, I can make you the Crown Prince, so that you can stay by my side as long as you’re alive.”
Therefore, he had a bad feeling when the eunuch came to deliver the imperial edict.
However, the one who issued the decree was neither Wei Desheng nor Wei Zhong. It was just a random small yellow clan.
The Xin ‘an Prince thought that something was wrong, so he called someone to capture the eunuch and beat him up. In the end, he was confused. He did not know what was going on. Anyway, it was not the emperor’s personal edict, but Wei Zhong’s message…
Moreover, he had also summoned many important officials of the court, such as King Jiang Xia and King Huai Yang.
These were still alright, but he mainly called Wang Lang from the Wang family. Even if the Emperor could not make it, he would not summon Wang Lang into the palace when he had to settle his funeral matters!
At this moment, if he still couldn’t see that something was wrong and that the situation in the palace had changed, he deserved to be killed..
