Chapter 229 He deserves to be punished
King Yong never closed his eyes until his death.
After King Chong pulled out the sword, he fell heavily to his knees on the ground with a thud and died...
Prince Chong walked towards Concubine Xian and said, "Mother, I will ascend the throne soon. When the time comes, I will depose her and honor you as the Queen Mother. Are you happy?"
Concubine Xian looked at him coldly, without a trace of maternal kindness in her eyes, "I am not worthy of being called mother by you. Back then, Prince Yong and the Queen Mother swapped my child and placed you with me. But I was pregnant for ten months and risked my life to give birth to your child. How could I not recognize you? You don't look like him at all!"
King Chong was shocked at first, then he let out a crazy smile, "So you already knew it, no wonder you were so cold to me, no matter what I did, I could never please you... So you already knew it..."
Sometimes he was sad, sometimes crazy, and sometimes he laughed loudly. "But what can I do even if I know? My father is dead, the crown prince is dead... Prince Ling will also die in the chaos. Let me ask Da'an, who else can compete with me? Hahahaha... Kill them, slaughter everyone in the palace! I don't want to hear any opposition!"
Before he entered the palace, he received news that Prince Qi had arrived and was fighting with Prince Ling at the city gate. Prince Ling had been seriously injured and the Gu family army had also suffered heavy losses.
Kyoto is in his hands!
What can a mere Princess Yongjia change?
But after he gave the order, no one dared to move.
Looking behind him, Zhou Yuan was captured. The jade talisman in his hand that commanded the Grand Princess's private soldiers had also fallen into the hands of the Grand Princess Yongjia.
Immediately, uniform military steps were heard from all directions.
The leader was Prince Ling, and there was also a young woman whom he had never seen before.
Also, Mu Qingyan!
How can it be!
With Prince Qi's troops backing him up, how could Prince Ling possibly escape?
"Chong Wang Junlan, you are an accomplice of the evil, you killed your king and your father, and you tried to confuse the royal bloodline. You deserve to be killed for your crime!"
The Grand Princess's private soldiers had laid down their weapons and surrendered.
His own soldiers were no match for Princess Yongjia's men, so they surrendered...
He sneered, "Don't you want to be the emperor, uncle? Then why are you here today?"
Prince Ling looked indifferent, "In order to clean up the Jun royal family!"
Prince Chong watched Mu Qingyan walk to the side of Emperor Jianning and the Crown Prince.
Her pair of white hands gently patted the prince's chest, and the prince suddenly exhaled and woke up.
He also pulled out the arrow on his chest, revealing the golden soft armor underneath.
"You, you faked your death..."
King Chong couldn't believe it!
Looking at Mu Qingyan again, she was holding a bottle of something unknown and placed it under the nose of Emperor Jianning. After a while, the man who had just died of poisoning frowned and then woke up.
Everyone stood up.
They all looked at King Chong.
"You, you lied to me..."
The only one who died was King Yong!
Therefore, such a big trap was not set up for King Yong, but for him!
How did they guess his intentions? When did they find out his identity?
Why! Why!
His first reaction was to look at Mu Qingyan.
Because, that dream… the woman in the dream who looked exactly like Mu Qingyan was tortured to pieces by him…
He thought of a possibility.
That is, Mu Qingyan was also having the same dream. This dream might not be a dream, but the love, hatred and vengeance of their previous lives!
"Is that you?" he asked out loud.
In front of the Chongwen Hall, the sounds of fighting have stopped and the entire palace has returned to peace.
The corpses on the ground and the smell of blood in the air told everyone that a brutal internal conflict had just taken place here.
Mu Qingyan looked him straight in the eyes. "Yes, anyone can sit on the throne of Emperor Da'an, except you! Therefore, I will spare no effort to stop you and make you fall into my trap!"
"To avenge myself in my dream?"
He himself felt it was absurd to say such things.
But this seems to be true.
Unexpectedly, she didn't deny it.
"Capture him!" Following Prince Ling's order, Prince Chong was quickly tied up and taken away.
The soldiers carried the bodies away from the ground, and Wang Quan stopped the palace servants from washing the bloodstains on the ground.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The ministers who were forcibly abducted experienced a life-and-death palace coup. They thought that His Majesty and the Crown Prince had really passed away, and they would also die under the butcher's knife of the chaotic army. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events and a ray of hope...
Although the coup was not dangerous, Emperor Jianning was still deeply shocked.
He sat in the empty imperial study and didn't speak for a long time.
Prince Ling and Princess Yongjia were busy dealing with follow-up matters and were too busy to attend.
Queen Qin and Concubine Xian walked in, each carrying a food basket.
Queen Qin advised, "Your Majesty, drink a bowl of lily and lotus seed soup, it will calm your mind..."
Empress Xian also said, "If you can't drink lotus seed soup, then eat some noodles with gravy. Your Majesty, didn't you like the noodles with gravy made by me the most in the past? I made it myself, please have some..."
Emperor Jianning did not favor one over the other. He ate two mouthfuls of noodles with gravy, drank two spoonfuls of lotus seed soup, and never touched it again.
"You have been frightened today. Stop working so hard and go back to the palace to rest... Please comfort the concubines in the harem. When I have dealt with the affairs of the previous dynasty, I will give them appropriate rewards and compensation. As for the palace maids who were caught in the chaos, I will also give some compensation to their families... It is my gift..."
Queen Qin nodded slightly, "I will take care of this matter. Your Majesty should still take care of your health..."
Emperor Jianning waved his hand, signaling them to leave, and said nothing more.
He wanted to tell Empress Xian that her child was still alive, but he was not in the mood at the moment. What's more, Captain Yun and his wife, who raised Yun Hua, had not yet arrived in Beijing, so it seemed unconvincing to say it now.
In order not to disappoint Concubine Xian, let's wait until everything is settled before we talk about it...
Outside the palace, Prince Ling and Princess Yongjia arrested all the suspects one by one. After redeploying defenses, they returned to the palace to report the casualties.
Gu's army is still searching for the remnants.
General Gu and Gu Qingsu were still inspecting the deployment of defenses to see if there were any mistakes or omissions. In order to avoid chaos again, they did not dare to slack off at all.
The whole city of Kyoto fell into deathly silence.
The people in every household closed their doors and windows and dared not show their faces.
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and tonight, there will be such a shocking scene.
Fortunately, the chaos in Kyoto has calmed down, and they can still have a good year.
The eldest princess joined the rebellion and was given poisoned wine. The jade talisman bestowed by the late emperor was taken back, and the private soldiers were disbanded and assigned to the border defense army.
