The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Chapter 480 The Death of the Late Emperor 3

All the court officials nodded, and those who knew the whole story discussed it enthusiastically.

"The Guo family relied on the merits of their ancestors and the First Emperor to bully men and women, seize land, and even secretly control the iron mines to refine weapons with the intention of rebellion. That's why the Emperor had no choice but to take action against the Guo family."

"Yes, the head of the Guo family was even more powerful in the capital than the late emperor, who was still the crown prince. Once, when the late emperor was dining in a restaurant while out of the palace in disguise, he was overturned on the spot by the eldest son of the Guo family because of an issue with a private room."

"That's right, that's right. At that time, the Guo family was simply above the royal family!"

Guo Ziyi listened to everyone's comments with a sinister look in his eyes.

Tian Muchen sneered, "If I were in power back then, I would have wiped out the entire Guo family if they were so domineering!" Then he looked at Guo Ziyi again, "Guo Ziyi, how did you kill my father?!"

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Guo Ziyi.

Jixiang looked at Prince Duan and said, "Sixth Uncle, Guo Ziyi killed my father. It shouldn't be your order, right?"

Tian Qiquan, who had been hiding aside like a quail, was suddenly questioned by Jixiang, his eyes full of annoyance.

"Sixth Uncle, do you have anything to do with my father's death?" When Tian Muchen heard Jixiang's words, he suddenly turned around and walked towards Tian Qiquan.

"Although everyone says that there is no affection between royal fathers and sons, my father is my father after all. I must find out the cause of his death! Tell me, was it you who asked Guo Ziyi to kill him?!"

Tian Qiquan looked up, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Chen'er, do you think your Sixth Uncle is someone who would attack his own brothers?"

Tian Muchen was stunned.

"Your father and I are brothers from different mothers but with the same father. How could I harm him? This was all done by Guo Ziyi himself. It has nothing to do with me or me!"

Jixiang smiled, "If Sixth Uncle says that this matter was initiated by Guo Ziyi, I can believe it a little, but if you say that it has nothing to do with you, then it's just an attempt to cover up the truth."

"Although on the surface, the Lan family is your spies and contacts in the capital, and it was they who helped you ascend the throne and became the emperor of the Great Saint Dynasty for a few days. But in fact, the Lan family was just a pawn put in the open to confuse everyone. The one who really helped you succeed in usurping the throne was Guo Ziyi!"

Everyone was even more surprised to hear Jixiang say this.

"Guo Ziyi is just a eunuch. How could he control the royal family, let alone Prince Duan who was in Jiangnan at that time? Did the queen hear some gossip on the streets?" Xue Huai'en asked puzzledly.

"Master Xue, Guo Ziyi is the chief eunuch in the palace. He is in charge of all the eunuchs in the palace. What do you think would happen if these people were secretly controlled by him?"

Xue Huai'en was shocked. Did Guo Ziyi really control all the eunuchs secretly? He had been in the palace for many years, and had been the chief eunuch for ten years. So, wouldn't all these years be...

"Your Majesty, we should gather all the eunuchs in the palace right now to prevent them from rebelling again!"

"Yes, yes, come here, arrest all the eunuchs in the palace immediately!" Tian Muchen ordered immediately.

Situ Changqing looked at Jixiang, "My Lady..."

"Don't bother. I have gathered them all outside the palace and are waiting for your punishment." King Annan strode in and bowed to Jixiang.

"Your Majesty is indeed very good at foreseeing things. I have really caught those troublemakers in the act!" He shouted behind him, "Bring them up here!"

Immediately, soldiers brought in three eunuchs.

The three men were tied up tightly. The soldiers dragged them into the hall and pushed them to the ground. The three men knelt down in auspicious direction.

"When these three were captured, they were holding gunpowder and preparing to blow up the palace they were in charge of."

Everyone sighed again.

Yan Henian said coldly, "Guo Ziyi, you really have evil intentions. People like you deserve to be cut into pieces!"

"Kill him, kill him!" Tian Mu's face was full of anger, "He killed my father, sister-in-law, you must avenge my father and kill him!"

Jixiang nodded and comforted Tian Muyu, "Don't worry, the emperor's sister-in-law will not let him get away with it. But before he dies, he must explain clearly how he killed his father."

"Yes, this must be made clear!" Tian Muchen also agreed, and then kicked Guo Ziyi, "Tell me, how did you succeed in doing this to our father?!"

Seeing that everyone was staring at him covetously, Guo Ziyi no longer insisted, and glanced at Jixiang and said, "Your Majesty should have known at the time that the late emperor died of poisoning, and even the ghost doctor was helpless at the time."

Jixiang nodded, "So, where did you get the poison you used?"

On the way back to Beijing with the coffin, she secretly asked Tian Muyu to help her open Li Kangdi's coffin for inspection. However, when she checked, she found that there was no trace of poison in Li Kangdi's body.

But she believed the ghost doctor. The ghost doctor said that Li Kangdi died of poisoning, so it must be true that he was poisoned.

However, this kind of poison is a kind of poison that can disappear on its own over time, which she has never seen before. For this reason, she has been secretly searching for this poison, but to this day, there is still no clue.

When Jixiang saw Guo Ziyi's gaze turning to Prince Duan, he was startled. Could it be that the poison was provided by Prince Duan?

When Prince Duan saw Guo Ziyi looking at him, he immediately waved his hand in disdain, "I didn't give him any poison. The poison that killed the late emperor has nothing to do with me!"

"Guo Ziyi, where did your poison come from?!" Tian Muchen kicked Guo Ziyi again.

Guo Ziyi's eyes widened in anger. "Do you want to know? Even if you want to know, I won't tell you! It's just that you will all be killed by this poison soon! When you are all dead, this palace will be mine! Hahahaha! By then, even if Tian Muyu and the others come back, they won't be able to find out that it was me who killed you, hahahaha."

Guo Ziyi's crazy laughter echoed in the hall, and everyone's heart was chilled, and they all looked at Jixiang at the same time.

"Empress!" Yan Henian and Xue Huai'en said almost in unison.

Jixiang raised her hand to signal everyone to stay calm. She squatted down and stared at Guo Ziyi. "My hands have been stained with blood, but I never want to get stained with the blood of fools. (Exerting force with fingertips) Guo Ziyi, do you think that you have that strange poison that can change your current situation? You are wrong... You are just a snake that can swallow gold foil in the cage of the previous emperor. No matter how shiny your scales are, if you cut open your belly, there is only mud."

Guo Ziyi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly jumped up and grabbed Jixiang's wrist, "Today, I will destroy all of you in this pile of mud! Let you..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a snap and his face showed unbearable pain.

Jixiang had already turned his hand around and broke Guo Ziyi's wrist.
