The reason why Empress Wei was targeting Lu Guanyun was actually something that couldn’t be helped: everyone knew that He Lou Duhan himself had no reason to assassinate the Crown Prince, and the one who had the motivation and ability to instruct He Lou Duhan to do so was no one else but the Su family!

However, there was no evidence, the Su family’s roots were far away in Qingzhou, and there was still a King Su roaming around how could she be willing to kill only these few surnamed Su in the imperial capital?

So while proceeding to plot up the King of Shu as a backup option, she spared no effort in getting the Su family killed in name only.

Helou Dokhan is worthy of the inner circle of Fu Feng Hall origin, up to three days and three nights of torture, often unimaginable torture, he froze is not a word out!

From him to start, obtain a confession against the Su family, so that the teacher’s wish to be famous fell through, Pei Yourui has not been able to find the shadow of the person, He Lou House of those subordinates who asked three Empress Wei thought for a long time and finally thought that there is another person, you can open up this breach: He Lou Duhan’s disciple, Lu Guanyun!

“This Lu Guanyun is young, and the Hengshan royal family has been holding the center.” Xin Qian was a little puzzled when she heard this command, “Even if He Lou Duhan accepted him as a disciple for the sake of Marquis Yan and his wife, these two years of pointing out his homework is said to have been attentive, but, his own true identity is supposedly impossible to disclose to him, right?”

Even if He Lou Duhan and Lu Guanyun especially have a master and disciple bond, and like this disciple so much … but Lu Guanyun this age is also too small, generally speaking it is considered that small children are difficult to keep secrets, He Lou Duhan, unless his brain is broken, will only tell this disciple that he is actually an important secret son of Fufeng Hall who is planted in the side of Gu Shao!

But Empress Wei sneered, “Lu Guanyun knows whether he knows his master’s true colors or not this is not important, what is important is that he is He Lou Duhan’s disciple, and because of his lectures, he goes in and out of He Lou’s mansion from time to time this is enough!”

Only then did Xinqian understand that Empress Wei did not have any false hope of finding out any important information from Lu Guanyun, but rather she wanted to utilize Lu Guanyun’s identity as a disciple of He Lou Duohan to induce him to say what the Empress wanted to hear!

As for Lu Guanyun after doing so, certainly Empress Wei has a reason to point directly to the Su family, but he must also be burdened with the reputation of betraying his teacher, the future is ruined this is not in Empress Wei’s consideration, after all, she is the Crown Prince’s biological mother, but not Lu Guanyun’s biological mother!

Just Empress Wei also did not expect, Lu Guanyun look lively and cheerful without heart, but also not good at fooling.

I don’t know whether it was because of someone’s advice or his own idea, but when he was playing, he would never say two words if he could say one, and thoroughly implemented the concept of “less words, less mistakes”; moreover, he only answered questions he could understand, and as soon as he noticed that the Empress’s words seemed to have a different meaning, he immediately pretended to be confused or answered questions that were not meant to be. As soon as he realized that the Queen’s words seemed to have some ulterior motives, he immediately pretended to be confused, or answered the question in a way that was not intended.

The Empress sank her face and rebuked him, and he immediately fell on his knees and begged to be punished.

Said to voluntarily accept the punishment, but his own father Hengshan King on the eye of the guard outside, not to mention the teacherdisciple relationship, although close, but He Lou Duhan his own teacher and grandfather Gu Shao, although the people under the edict of the prison, but also did not how to be punished it?

If Empress Wei punishes Lu Guanyun alone, how can King Hengshan not pull Gu Shao out to give his son a backing?

So the first call was so Lu Guanyun muddle through after the next day and then the boy called to the front, the Queen directly asked people to lead him out of the back of the hall, to go to the Imperial Prison to feel the world under the bright appearance of the real!

Who would like this hand is really Lu Guanyun to scare however, Hengshan Wang led his son back to the doctor, but also have a reason not to let Empress Wei summoned his son again, he stood under the Dan Edward chest thumping and old tears, and even said, “I have already sent more than one back to the black hair person, please, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be gracious and allow this young son of mine to be able to see him off!”

Duanhua emperor heard looked to the empress, the empress is indifferent cast a glance, said, “Hengshan uncle love son heart is touching, just because of this, uncle should be more sympathetic to his majesty and this palace is think of the year An Yang county princess before the bloom of the flower, because of the Song Lu’s reason to wither away early! So two days ago, Jiangnan Hall heir things, His Majesty and the Palace, but also out of understanding uncle Wang, right as nothing to know!”

“Now that His Majesty and this Palace’s only male heir has been assassinated and seriously injured on his deathbed, this eagerness to find out the true culprit, can Uncle Wang really bear to ignore it?”

Her words were tantamount to implying to King Hengshan: If your son is ignorant, are you ignorant too?

Earlier let that kid handed the confession up to the heart of the Palace, where the Palace will still be difficult for him?

It was not difficult to teach his son to get a confession, but King Hengshan understood that after doing so, it would be tantamount to taking the side of the Wei family and the ancestral motto of the Hengshan royal family was not to take sides in the dispute between the throne and the great throne!

Moreover, even if King Hengshan wanted to take sides, he might not be willing to choose the Wei family!

First, the crown prince is seriously injured, the king of Shu is young and no good learning and intelligent reputation, the difficulty of embracing him than embracing the crown prince is much higher; Secondly, it is because if the crown prince ascends to the throne, for the Hengshan royal family can not account for the benefit of anything.

On the contrary, if King Su ascended to the throne, these two days has revealed the attitude of the Marquis of Yan, no less than a champion of the work.

And Marquis Yan and his wife have always treated Lu Guanyun well, so the Hengshan Royal Family might be able to gain some benefits from this.

So after hearing this, Hengshan King thought rapidly and continued to cry, “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated, and as an uncle of the same clan, I am naturally grieving! But I really don’t know why that He Lou Duhan is suddenly so heartless!”

… As for the matter of Jiangnan Hall’s extinction mentioned by Empress Wei, he didn’t put it in his mind at all: after all, who would give Song Yibao and Song Yiyao siblings a head start now?

Who is qualified to stand up for them?

Song Yixiao was caught up in the grace of having been raised by the Hengshan Royal Family and simply refused to open this mouth!

Gu Shao was now struggling to protect himself, and was even more unconcerned about this matter.

Even if the subordinates of Jiangnan Hall still have one or two thoughts of their old master’s favor, what can they do with a hereditary prince?

“Since Uncle Wang also thinks that He Lou Duhan is heartless, this palace is also relieved!” Hearing the Hengshan King’s polite refusal, Empress Wei’s eyes went cold for a moment before continuing, “This is all the more reason to let Crown Cloud’s cousin recognize this person’s true nature, lest he be harmed by him and be misled into a lifelong future!”

The implication was that in the future, not only would he continue to summon Lu Guanyun for interrogation, but he would also continue to let him witness the current situation of He Lou Duhan, and even witness the torture of He Lou Duhan!

Hengshan Wang heard, silent for a moment, only to say in a shaky voice, “Your Highness, my son Guanyun, is still a child, compared to the crown prince, is also a few years younger. His birth mother died early, there is no mother, what support, these years, although I try to do my best for the responsibility of the father, but in the end can not completely replace the mother of the princess, his guts were not big, this time after the shock, also do not know when will be able to get well. If he goes into the imperial prison again …臣 …臣 begging the Empress!”

When he said this, he fell heavily to his knees!

“Uncle Wang has a line of children at his knee, and his grandchildren are also prospering.” Empress Wei, however, just looked at him with an expressionless face, “Still so compassionate to Cousin Guanyun, but why can’t you sympathize with the fact that the Crown Prince is the only blood of this Palace?!”

The last sentence, the Empress almost cried out in fact, at this moment, her nails, were viciously pinching into her palms!

There are no words to describe the Queen’s mood at the moment: since the assassination of the Crown Prince, not only know the real culprits but can not avenge the son, even from the former supporters of the Crown Prince, there have been shaken, including her family, including her family Wei family, are focusing on how to support the King of Shu, and even Lu Hoho ascension to the throne above!

Perhaps they did not mean to fall on their sword, and some of them have so far held out a faint hope for the Prince’s recovery.

But their behavior was tantamount to stabbing knives into the Queen’s heart over and over again.

Instead of being comforted and cared for as they should have been after the assassination, they were abandoned by their original supporters!

Empress Wei couldn’t imagine how devastated the Crown Prince would be when he woke up and realized his current situation.

After all, this kind of encounter for her, is an expected thing but the age is still young, and like the early years of Emperor Duanhua smooth sailing over the crown prince, will calmly accept all this? Can he accept all this calmly?

And when the time comes, how will Empress Wei, his biological mother, comfort him?

And how can he be comforted?

After parting on bad terms with the Hengshan King, the Empress and Empress sat in her original position for a long time without speaking.

After a long time, it was Emperor Duanhua who broke the silence, “Now that even Uncle Hengshan is not on our side, what should we do?”

“… But he’ll have to let Lu Guanyun continue to enter the palace for interrogation after all.” When Empress Wei heard this, a layer of fury floated between her brows, hiding her fatigue, and said expressionlessly, “Since he loves this young son so much, I’d like to see how long he can hold out!”

Emperor Duanhua smiled bitterly, “According to you.”

In the past two days, it was said that the Emperor and Empress were personally pursuing the matter of the assassination of the Crown Prince, but in reality, all of them were already Empress Wei.

This was not only because Emperor Duanhua’s death was a foregone conclusion, and Empress Wei could not be expected to be the Empress Dowager it was also because Empress Wei no longer hid her talent and scheming, and in the disposal of many things, compared to Emperor Duanhua, it was simply a thunderbolt, often she had already thought of everything, and Emperor Duanhua still cared about what the matter was. What is the situation?

So a few times down, the emperor finally realized the gap between himself and the empress, he would have been a bit disheartened because of the matter of going to the throne, and now also sincerely want to avenge his son, so also no longer compete, only to the empress to do a wallflower is.

“Back then, the late emperor knew that the empress was the mastermind behind Han Ji’s affair, but never told me, was it because the late emperor knew that the empress was resourceful and talented, and cherished her ability, so he didn’t want to hurt the conjugal love between me and her?” Just watching the Empress methodically giving orders, Emperor Duanhua occasionally thought this way, “If I had not listened to Lu Hehao’s words and centrifuged with the Empress before …”

Then there is Empress Wei to advise him, perhaps he before that period of time, not so tired so depressed in addition to Zhu Qin and Gu Shao, even a discussion of people are not.

But then I thought, the reason why I have been on Lu Hehao not defended, all because the Empress concealed the suspicion that Lu Hehao is the mastermind of the smallpox last year!

In a sense, it was Empress Wei who caused him to fall into the hands of Lu Hehao.

The Emperor himself now did not know what mood he should be in, but only thought heavily, “I wonder what will happen at tomorrow’s court?”

The following day’s court meeting, everyone knew for sure it wouldn’t be peaceful.

After all, these are extraordinary times.

Only, all of them did not expect that the court meeting had only begun this day when a chamberlain came over to pass on the Empress Dowager’s decree.

The decree was not long, but its content caught everyone by surprise: the Dowager Empress decided to succeed the King of Shu to the Grand Princess of Chen, who had died prematurely.

The reason was that she had been dreaming of the Grand Princess of Chen for the past two days, and had originally planned to pick an heir for the Grand Princess of Chen from the clan’s side branch, but after hearing about it, the King of Shu’s birth mother, Dowager Consort Xu, had strongly recommended her own son.

To this end, Xu Taifei yesterday in the Qingxi Palace on the insistence of kneeling for more than two hours kneeling to the Empress Dowager to relax before they are willing to get up!

The courtroom was in an uproar!

The Wei family’s crowd was on the verge of vomiting blood!
