Chapter 276 The Emperor's Family Matters
When a basin of cold water was poured on his head, Donghai King jumped up suddenly and shouted: "I'm trying my best! I'm trying so hard! It's my uncle... it's Cui Hong..."
The stranger in front of him was not the princess Tan. The King of Donghai asked in surprise, "Who are you?" Then he looked around and saw that this was indeed his home. He was dizzy and his feet were floating, and the alcohol had not passed. The sky outside had just become a little dark.
"Please go with me when you are the King of Tokai."
"Why am I following you? Who are you?"
"Your Majesty summons you to the palace."
King Donghai was shocked and his face turned pale, "I will set out tomorrow. Why are I summoning me to the palace today?"
The stranger had no expression on his face, "I will know it when I enter the palace."
"Where is the edict? What about the decree? You, you are a guard, not a eunuch in the palace..." The King of Donghai became more and more panicked as he thought about it. He couldn't help asking for help. Suddenly he remembered that no one could save him. The prince's mansion changed from officials to slaves, and he didn't know any except the princess Tan.
The strange guard looked quiet and was not in a hurry at all. If he could enter the mansion, he had already proved his identity.
King Donghai also understood this truth and calmed down a little, "I'll go and say something to the princess."
"No, the princess must also be ordered to enter the palace, she should have already been in the sedan chair."
"Let me... wash my face and change my clothes." Donghai Wang really couldn't find any other reason.
When washing his face and changing his clothes, countless plans emerged in King Donghai's mind, none of them succeeded, and countless fantasies appeared, thinking that someone would suddenly jump out to save him, until everything was ready, no miracle would happen. The servant was respectful, unlike the hidden martial arts master, the corners and the roofs were clean, and it was even less like someone would jump out.
King Donghai suddenly realized that he was really helpless.
The guard urged him again, and the King of Donghai had to set off, and his drunkenness disappeared. He turned around when he left the mansion. He didn't live in this palace for long, but he was nostalgic at this moment. He really wanted to fall down and not go out even if he beat him to death.
There were more guards outside the gate, and there were two sedan chairs parked. King Donghai wanted to say something to Tan, but the guards politely invited him into the sedan chair.
King Donghai's heart was undulating along the way, his body was exhausted and tense. When he got out of the sedan chair, he almost lost his strength to walk.
He was sent to an independent courtyard in the palace. He was the only one who got off the sedan chair, and Tan was not sure where he was sent.
Han Ruzi was busy all day, and it was not until the second update that the genius took time to meet Donghai. As soon as they met, they asked: "What's wrong with you? Haven't eaten? Or have you just practiced martial arts?"
Donghai King had no idea where the courage came from, so he stood up, "If you want to kill, you will kill, you will cut it... In short, I am not afraid of you. Your scandal will be exposed to the world sooner or later, and everyone knows..."
After running out of courage, Tokai Neptune collapsed on the chair.
Han Ruzi smiled and said, "My ugly thing?" Then he shook his head, "I want to kill you, and I will proceed openly and I will never call you into the palace quietly."
King Donghai was stunned, and thought it was right. The other party was already the emperor. He either pretended to be someone else or was sentenced to death. There was no need to play with other methods. He felt very relaxed and almost cried, "What's wrong with your Majesty looking for me?"
"A strange thing happened in the palace, I want to discuss it with you."
King Tokai was stunned again, "I didn't do it."
"I haven't said what it is."
"No matter what, it has nothing to do with me. I am more honest now than the full dog. Those people you sent to the royal palace can testify that I have never done anything except drinking, eating, sleeping, and not seeing anyone else. Really, I am willing to accept the loss. I know how the prince and grandson who failed to compete for the position should spend their whole life in wine and sex. I have already started drinking, sex... sex wait."
Han Ruzi laughed, "You are addicted to alcohol and sex now. You are still a little younger. Why don't you help me to calm the world and do something?"
King Donghai looked around and saw that there were no outsiders in the room. "If you have something to say, just say it clearly. Your Majesty is the emperor and I am a minister. Even if Your Majesty asks me to commit suicide, I dare not say anything bad, and I don't need to win me over with kind words."
Han Ruzi sat on the other side, picked up the herbal tea on the table, poured a cup of it himself, "Taizu's sword is missing."
"What?"
"Taizu's Sword."
"That one in the dressing room?"
"Um."
"How could it be... Your Majesty doubt me, right?"
"You once brought people into the palace that night."
"But I have never been to the clothes room, and it's useless for me to ask for the Taizu sword. Even if it is used to call on the ministers, it should have been shown out at that time. Hiding it secretly has no meaning to me."
Han Ruzi suspected from the beginning that she was not Donghai King, "Where is the Tan family?"
"Tan Family? I can't guarantee this. It was very chaotic at that time... Oh, so you summoned the princess into the palace. You, you... Your Majesty is the emperor, and the princess is Your Majesty's sister-in-law. You can't do anything randomly."
Han Ruzi smiled bitterly and said, "What the hell are you thinking in your mind? The princess once went to the clothes room with the queen that night."
The Princess of Donghai remembered that the princess told him about his experience that night, "Yang Feng, Your Majesty should ask Yang Feng, he has been tied to a pillar outside the clothes room, and if someone comes in and out, he will never be able to see it."
Han Ruzi had asked a long time ago that Yang Feng had seen nothing, so Han Ruzi certainly chose to believe it, "The key is that he didn't know when the sword was transferred, and it was definitely not the time when Yang Feng was imprisoned."
"Hey, the emperor shouldn't believe anything... I didn't say it." Found that he had no worries about his life, the King of Donghai was much more at ease and could think about the emperor's questions seriously. "On the other hand, what's the use of Taizu's sword? It was just a relic left by the ancestor."
"It's useless to most people, but it means a little to me and to the general Korean star."
"Oh, by the way, you asked someone to bring out the Taizu sword. After Han Xing took the sword, he calmed down the palace chaos... It turns out that he was assassinated like this." King Donghai suddenly realized and forgot to call him "Your Majesty".
Han Ruzi knew about Donghai and knew that the other party's surprise was real. "It turned out that I thought the seal was being used. Now it seems that Taizu's sword is more likely. The assassin probably took the sword to meet the general. The general mistakenly thought that it was the person I sent..."
"I will go to war tomorrow and find Han Xing's guards and you will know how he died." King Donghai was still a little nervous, thinking that his idea was too simple. The emperor must have thought of it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty doubts the Tan family?"
"Assassination is more like a martial arts method. The Tan family and the Hua family are all possible. Yang Feng thought it was done by those who look up at the qi."
King Donghai sneered, "Lin Kunshan? If he had such ability, I wouldn't have..." King Donghai secretly vowed to control his mouth, "Okay, I can go and talk to the princess. If there is really a Tan family involved, she should have heard of it. But I have to ask for a guarantee."
"I have no guarantee to the Tan family. I can forgive her again for the princess."
King Donghai stared at the emperor for a while, "Okay, am I going now?"
Han Ruzi nodded, he had to find out the truth as soon as possible.
King Donghai walked out and suddenly stopped and turned around, "My mother..."
"Concubine Cui, Prince Yong's orphan, and the champion Hou will be buried at the same time, about ten days later."
Han She, also known as Han Ye's short career as an emperor was not recognized. In the history of the Great Chu, he will always be called "the orphan of Prince Yong".
King Donghai suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, "I heard that she was poisoned to death by...?"
"I haven't asked." Han Ruzi said that this is the truth. Since the empress dowager has to respect, some things cannot be asked too clearly. However, since the empress dowager blames Emperor Si's death on Concubine Cui, it is inevitable to use the same method to poison the enemy.
King Donghai didn't say anything else. When he walked out of the room, someone outside took him to see the princess.
Han Ruzi sat alone in the room. All the rooms in the palace were surprisingly similar, but the size and decoration were different, but each had its own independent names, including countless palaces, pavilions, museums, and courtyards, which Han Ruzi couldn't remember at all.
Not long after, Donghai King came back, his face flushed and seemed to have been scolded.
"The princess said she didn't take the sword, and the queen was there at that time. They saved Yang Feng and left. No one entered the clothes room. It was impossible to take anything away."
Han Ruzi had heard about the details from Cui Xiaojun and had no doubt about Tan, "Where are the rest of the Tan family?"
The King of Donghai stumbled a few times, "The princess doesn't know, she said...she said..."
"say what?"
The King of Donghai finally raised his courage, "She said that Your Majesty should not just be busy pacifying the world, searching for Taizu's sword, and he should take charge of the housework if he has time."
"Huh?" Han Ruzi was stunned. Tan's courage was indeed not small, but what he said was a bit inexplicable.
"Your Majesty doesn't know yet? Did the queen not mention it?"
Han Ruzi's eyes became a little stern, and King Donghai immediately said: "I'm talking too much, the princess is talking nonsense. I think she's a little abnormal now, and what she says may not be credible..."
"You are leaving the capital tomorrow. If you like the palace so much, just stay here for one night." Han Ruzi did not ask, but instead advised King Donghai to rest.
To the King of East China Sea, this sounded more like a threat. Knowing that he could not tease the emperor in the end, he blurted out: "My beauty...the Queen Mother wants to get rid of the queen."
The beautiful Wang has not yet received the title of Empress Dowager, so King Donghai added it to her first.
Han Ruzi squinted his eyes a little, and the King of Donghai became even more scared. "The princess said that she and the queen went to the queen's bedroom to ask for help that night. The queen was guarding the door. She refused to open the door and said that the queen was there, and that his majesty would not be able to attack the Cui family in the future. If Yang Feng had not found the guards in the palace in time, the queen and the princess would probably have died at the hands of the guards. I heard that the cumstone courtyard was burned and the queen lived there forever, she was lucky and escaped. Of course, the princess said it might not be accurate, and I didn't see it with my own eyes..."
"Enough." Han Ruzi stood up, "Tomorrow, everyone in the Tan family, regardless of gender, age, will follow the army on the way and move to the East China Kingdom with you."
Donghai King was shocked, "That's not what the imperial edict said."
"There will be a new imperial edict tomorrow morning."
"But... how could it be too late? There was no time to prepare."
"The Tan family has nothing to prepare for, just go on the road." Han Ruzi stopped explaining and walked out. He would never leave the suspicious person in the capital.
King Donghai was stunned. Although he should be cruel when he saw the emperor, he still couldn't accept it when he saw the ruthless person Han Ruzi instead of himself.
Han Ruzi went to the bedroom under the escort of the guards, and had never been hesitant as he is now.
He believed Tan's words, but he didn't know how to speak to his mother and queen. (To be continued.)
