Shen Lanxi snorted coldly: "I have already given her a chance, but she still doesn't know how to live or die!"
Liu Yanhui became anxious after hearing this and asked quickly.
"Is it the remnant of Concubine Shu?"
Although Concubine Shu was buried alive with the emperor, she had been working in the harem for many years and there was no guarantee that she still had some followers.
Wei Dongzhu shook his head: "No."
Liu Yanhui was puzzled. If not Concubine Shu, who else could it be?
No, he had to follow and see.
The concubines in the harem have been mostly settled, except for a few who have too much stuff and are still packing.
"My lady, the old general has sent a letter."
Qi Yingqun, who had been pretending to be crazy and stupid and obstructing the palace servants from packing up, had clear eyes and did not show any trace of madness as he did during the day.
After she opened the letter, there was only one line of words written on it: The prince has been obtained.
Qi Yingqun's eyes were filled with a cold light of determination. She was the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Shen Lanxi's ascension to the throne was not legitimate. She held the prince in her hands, and supporting the prince to ascend the throne was in accordance with the will of heaven and human ethics.
"Send a message outside the palace and take action!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the signal, the people outside the palace immediately took action.
As early as more than ten days ago, the soldiers who had quietly sneaked into the capital city emerged from their hiding places such as mansions, secret rooms, and cellars and gathered.
"A team of men, take down the regent."
"The other two teams will capture the remaining court officials."
"The rest of you, go wait at the gate of the palace!"
"Yes!"
……
"My lady, I saw a fire outside."
Qi Yingqun asked quickly: "But are there fires everywhere?"
"Yes, my lady. They all started from the agreed place."
Qi Yingqun smiled and turned around and said, "Come out of the palace with me!"
"Yes!"
The gate of the cold palace had just been opened and the imperial guards had been waiting for a long time.
"Where are you going, Queen?"
Qi Yingqun looked at Wei Dongzhu, and his heart sank to the bottom in the blink of an eye.
"Take him to the palace gate!"
"Yes!"
The people waiting outside the palace were just waiting for their men to bring all the officials to the palace gate so that they could start the rebellion.
Unexpectedly, before the officials could wait, what they saw was a fire on the palace gate.
Shen Lanxi stood on the palace wall, looking coldly at the people below.
"Prince Ping, Prince Ji, Prince Jin, and Prince Gong, you really make me look at you in a new light!" Shen Lanxi sneered, looking at the four people below who usually did not show up. She did not expect that they were not unwilling to show up, but had great ambitions.
The four princes felt their hearts sinking as they listened to Shen Lanxi's voice.
They planned for nearly a year and prepared for half a year. During this period, they considered things over and over again, and stopped immediately at the slightest sign of trouble. There was absolutely no way that there would be any mistakes.
Who on earth tipped off Shen Lanxi?
"Hmph, Shen Lanxi, you plotted to usurp the throne, murdered the royal family, and poisoned His Majesty. You are an unforgivable evil woman who kills without blinking an eye!" Prince Ji scolded Shen Lanxi angrily.
A man came out from the corner.
"Father, you are the one who aids and abets the tyrant. In order to keep the throne, you poisoned my mother, killed my grandfather, favored my concubine and killed my wife, and caused the tragic death of sister Yunxue. You are the unforgivable criminal!" Zhou Cheng'an was furious and accused King Ji of crimes.
Prince Ji couldn't figure out what went wrong. The moment he saw Zhou Cheng'an, his eyes went dark.
"When did you join Shen Lanxi?"
Zhou Chengan sneered: "Does it matter? Today I will let the world know your crimes. You killed your father and wife, and allowed your concubines to abuse your children. You deserve to be cut into pieces!"
Prince Ji was so angry that he saw black spots before his eyes. He didn't expect that after plotting for so long, in the end, it would be ruined by an ungrateful evildoer.
The other three princes naturally blamed Prince Ji for this.
The son's debt is paid by the father, and they remembered this account. When the great thing is accomplished, it will be good for them if there is one less person to steal their credit!
The three of them turned around and exchanged glances. Although they did not speak, they had already put the matter of getting rid of King Ji at the top of their priority list after the success.
"Shen Lanxi, stop trying to sow discord. The Ji Palace is a family affair and outsiders are not allowed to make the final decision. And you are a thief who stole the country and a traitor who brought chaos to the court. Everyone has the right to kill you!" Prince Jin added fuel to the fire.
Prince Ji quickly came back to his senses and glared at Zhou Chengan.
"Zhou Cheng'an, you evil son, after I have eradicated the treacherous villains, I will punish you according to the family rules!"
Zhou Chengan sneered and said contemptuously: "Your Majesty, the destiny is on your side and the people are on your side. Do you think you can accomplish anything with just a few old men like you?"
What a joke!
Wei Dongzhu came with Feihou. Shen Lanxi glanced at him and looked towards the city.
"The deposed Queen Qi conspired to rebel and has now been executed!" After he said that, he ordered his men to throw Qi Yingqun's body outside the city.
With a bang, blood splattered everywhere, which made many people think of the previous prince's palace coup.
I'm afraid there will be bloodshed today!
"Shen Lanxi, you...you...are so bold. This is the Empress, how dare you? You are plotting treason..." Prince Gong bravely took a step forward, and after seeing the person clearly, he took a breath, jumped up and cursed.
Shen Lanxi said coldly: "How dare you! The late emperor personally abolished the empress when she was still alive. How dare you deny it? That means you are disobeying the emperor's order and going against the late emperor's will. You are the traitors."
King Ping glanced in the direction of the pool of blood and dared not make any more noise. He was worried, why couldn't the people sent out to capture the officials' families hear even the sound of horse hooves?
Prince Ji has been overwhelmed.
"Listen, Imperial Guards and City Guards. Whoever kills Shen Lanxi will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister when the True Dragon Emperor ascends the throne. You will be given high positions and generous salaries, promoted to higher positions, and enjoy the credit of following the Dragon!"
King Jin's eyes moved, and he immediately followed the shouting: "Shen Lanxi is not of royal blood, and she is a woman. She is murderous and tyrannical, and she has harmed the royal family and killed loyal people. What good will you end up with if you follow such a woman? This world must be ruled by men. If a woman is in power, it will only lead our Great Zhou to destruction!"
Prince Gong: "Hurry up and kill Shen Lanxi, open the city gate for us and welcome the new emperor into the palace!"
King Ping looked at his angry allies and felt more and more uneasy.
Why is there still no sound of horse hooves, and not even any fire?
The corner of my eye inadvertently glanced at the pool of blood. It's bad, it's bad!
No matter how nice the three princes' words sounded, or how inspiring they were, the people standing on the city wall didn't move a finger.
The situation is hopeless, and everyone below is like grasshoppers in autumn. They still can't see the reality clearly, and what's the point of jumping around desperately!
Wang Bao reminded him, "Your Majesty, you must not delay the auspicious time of enthronement!"
Shen Lanxi said coldly: "Kill!"
"Yes!"
In the blink of an eye, archers were replaced on the palace wall. At Shen Lanxi's command, arrows fell like meteors.
Some of the people below didn't even have time to react and were killed by the arrows.
Some who reacted quickly could only run away four or five steps before blood splashed on the ground.
But in an instant, the area under the palace gate had turned into a bloody hell!
