After being bound by the system, Bai Yueguang and I reunited

After receiving the news from the emperor, the young man in black and several subordinates quickly got up and followed the winding underground path to another dark room.

The darkroom was empty, with only a few old boxes lying on the floor.

The young man in black had precise aim. He walked towards the box in the corner, reached out his hand, groped at the bottom for a moment, and gently pressed on the bulge.

"boom"--

The deeply hidden secret door slowly opened, raising fine dust.

The boy in black raised his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Climb up the steps and open the last door.

The young man raised his eyes and looked at the figure wearing a black cloak not far away.

"You came."

As the boy spoke, he pressed the mechanism in the hidden place on the rockery. Behind him, the secret door quickly closed.

He stepped out of the rockery and walked towards the figure.

"Is the news confirmed?" Under the black cloak, an old and vicissitudes of voice came out.

The young man covered his face, and his laughter came out from under the mask and became dull.

"Based on what I heard from the hospital official, I'm not sure if the old man is lying. My suggestion is to wait."

The old man nodded, "This is a critical period, so we must be cautious. We will be able to confirm the authenticity of the news tomorrow morning."

The young man's voice became excited, "I really look forward to the day when I can sit on the throne!"

The old man stroked his beard.

"Who would take this throne instead of you?"

The young man laughed twice, then changed his voice and said, "Go ahead and proceed as planned!"

"I obey your instructions."

The young man in black patted the old man on the shoulder, "When I ascend the throne, I will live up to your friendship!"

The corners of the old man's lips moved, and then he leaned down to salute, "Then I will thank Your Highness first!"

-

the next day.

The officials waited in front of the palace for almost two hours, but the emperor did not come.

Suddenly everyone's heart skipped a beat.

After that, Eunuch Lin hurriedly called away Taifu Yu, the deputy general of the regent, the Taiwei and the six ministers, and the remaining people began to become restless.

In the emperor's bedroom, the smell of medicine was strong, and the smell of blood was looming.

Behind the curtains, the emperor's voice came.

"I decree that the twelfth prince has committed the serious crime of treason and is sentenced to death at an early age. He will be executed immediately at noon!"

Lingchi?

Several adults exchanged glances with each other, and finally Tai Fu Yu spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Twelve Princes are naturally guilty of unpardonable crimes, but is sentencing Lingchi too much?"

Since ancient times, no royal relative has been subjected to such a cruel punishment.

Behind the gauze curtain, the emperor seemed to move slightly.

His voice was filled with anger, "You just obey my will, how can you have the right to refute it?"

Several people immediately knelt down and shouted to the emperor to calm down.

"Hmph!" The emperor snorted coldly, and then said: "I have already sent a message to the regent. The Wang family does not need to be escorted to Beijing, but can be killed on the spot."

Everyone: "!!!???"

I heard the last emperor continue to say madly: "The twelve princes will be executed, and the ninth prince will oversee the execution!"

"The jade concubine was thrown into the cold palace, and the purple concubine was promoted to Jieyu and given the title of Huan."

This series of decrees confused everyone. Even Taifu Jade, whose expression remained unchanged as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, widened his eyes in an instant.

Before these adults could say anything against it, the emperor waved his hand.

"Okay, let's all get down."

The palace door closed behind him.

Several people strode away, and after walking a long distance, several ministers gathered around Taifu Yu, saying random things to each other.

"Master Taifu, is there any deeper meaning in the Emperor's decree?"

"Do we really want to execute the twelfth prince Lingchi?"

"Why did the Supervisory Officer arrange for the Ninth Prince?"

"The Wang family is considered the head of the aristocratic family. Now that they are dead, will the emperor's next step be to eradicate all the aristocratic families?"

Chirping, chirping, chirping.

Mrs. Yu was so annoyed that she couldn't help the calm expression on her face.

Someone said something and everyone fell silent.

"Your Majesty, are you really poisoned?"

Everyone shut up.

No one dared to speak.

The Vice-General of the Regent was very self-aware and knew that he could not play with an upright man with a heart, so he turned around and ran away.

This muddy water is not easy to flow.

Taiwei, Yu Taifu, and the six ministers did not leave, but stood still in the same place.

After a while, Master Yu broke the silence.

He sighed and said, "People, don't be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, you will easily make mistakes."

Leaving behind some vague words, Master Yu left with his hands behind his back.

The rest of the people's eyes fell on the Taiwei eagerly.

Lieutenant: "..."

He thought for a moment, looked serious, and opened his mouth slightly.

Several colleagues immediately looked over expectantly.

Lieutenant: "It's time to go home for dinner."

After saying that, he ran away.

other people:"……"

I don't want to admit that I am this person's colleague.

His official position must have been bought!

-

At noon, the Ninth Prince, dressed in white with red eyes, sat on the execution platform.

When he saw the twelfth prince being escorted out with his feet shackled, the ninth prince's eyes turned even redder, and he choked with sobs and shouted: "Twelfth brother!"

Upon hearing this, the Twelve Prince quickly raised his head and looked at the Ninth Prince.

"Brother Ninth! Brother Ninth, save me!"

The Ninth Prince had a deep brotherly love, stretched out his arms, and faced the Twelfth Prince with tearful eyes from a distance.

"Twelfth brother! Brother, I can't help you!"

The twelfth prince was stunned immediately.

"What do you mean? What do you mean? Aren't you going to be tried today?"

The twelfth prince immediately began to struggle desperately, and the shackles on his wrists and ankles jingled as they collided.

"Tell me clearly! What exactly are you going to do when you bring me out today?"

The Ninth Prince took out his kerchief, wiped it from the corners of his eyes, and said to the official sitting next to him with a pained expression, "I have always been on good terms with my twelfth brother, and I really can't bear to watch anymore."

He frowned, with a painful look on his face, "I'll ask your Excellency to take care of the next thing!"

After saying that, the Ninth Prince left the execution ground.

Leaving behind him were the 12 princes who were wailing in agony and the petty officials who had troubles to express.

The Ninth Prince walked not far away, the expression on his face changed, and he returned to the Prince's Mansion leisurely.

Bath and change clothes, burn incense and worship.

The Ninth Prince knelt on the futon and kowtowed three times to the tablets on the table.

After the ceremony, he raised his head and said, "Mom, I have been planning for more than ten years, and I can finally see the results."

The Ninth Prince touched the back of his hand with his forehead, "My mother is alive in heaven, please bless my son to succeed!"

The moment he finished speaking, the servant outside whispered, "Master, the execution ground has been robbed!"

The Ninth Prince suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep look at the dark tablet, and smiled.

"Mom, I will make you the most noble woman in the world!"

After saying that, the Ninth Prince slowly arranged Guangxiu and ordered, "Tell General Xu that it's time to start!"

The night is thick.

Every household fell into a deep sleep, and some of those who slept late heard the sound of horse hoofbeats coming from the street.

The ignorant child asked strangely, "Mom and dad, what's the noise outside?"

The couple reached out their hands almost at the same time and covered the child's mouth.

"Shh!"
