The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 592: Could Emperor Mingde's death also be fake?

In the Golden Throne Hall, the corpse was soaked in blood and had been pierced by several arrows, but the most horrifying one was the arrow that hit right between the eyebrows.

Not biased, right in the middle of the eyebrows.

The deceased looked like a Wan national. Perhaps he had seen some horrible people or things before he died, so his face was hideous, his eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

There was no need for the coroner to come on stage to explain, everyone knew that the arrow between the eyebrows was the real hit.

Tanlu's pupils trembled violently.

Two! Two! Your Highness the Second Prince!

Dead! Dead! Oh my! The Second Prince is dead!

As a mature envoy, seeing his son-in-law's opponent die in a foreign country, should he reveal the truth or remain ignorant?

Tan Lu immediately had the answer, "Princess Haiyan, what do you mean? This is indeed a guard from our Wan Kingdom who accompanied the envoys. Now he has died in the North Wing. Shouldn't you give our Wan Kingdom a proper explanation?"

When Shi Anxia saw the bloody corpse, she didn't even blink, and just calmly replied, "It's time to give an explanation. This person is from your Wan country, and he colluded with the Queen Mother on behalf of the Second Prince, and he also used documents to reach an agreement on the terms after the incident."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone presented the document.

The man dragging the corpse was the secret guard Xue Junyang. "When I led people to Anyi Pavilion to search, Wan people including Ju Wuzhong, Fu Ling, Ge Luo, and Mu Ni were all present at the scene."

The document was circulated among the ministers and finally reached Tanlu.

The ministers were filled with indignation, "The Queen Mother is really selling out her country for personal gain!"

"Where does the Queen Mother put the North Wing's reputation?"

“It’s a complete loss of sovereignty and humiliation to the country!”

After reading it, Tanlu was also shocked. If Booth returned to the country with such great achievements, his son-in-law's position as crown prince would be gone!

It was at this time that he suddenly realized that the Emperor's declaration of war to Beiyi and asking him to lead his men to Beiyi for a martial arts competition was a cover-up. The real purpose was actually to help the Queen Mother seize power and control her to become a puppet of Wan State.

By then, the land, food, and various rich materials of the Northern Wing would be at the disposal of the Wan State, and the people of the Northern Wing would become slaves of the Wan State.

Unfortunately, Booth died and everything came to nothing.

Then, he absolutely could not admit that the body he saw was Booth. Not only could he not admit it, he had to go back and lie to the emperor, saying that Booth had received a secret letter a few days ago and left the capital of Beiyi early to return home, and that those secret guards were the ones who died.

He had made up his mind, but his face was full of doubt. "May I ask where he died? Who was he with?"

As soon as Shi Anxia heard the other party's question, he knew that he had won the bet again.

She bet that Tanlu, the prince's father-in-law, would never admit that this man was Booth, and in this case, Booth would be at her mercy.

Emperor Mingde was worried at the time, "If the death of Booth leads to a war between the two countries, I don't know how many people in my northern wing will die."

Even if the war was finally won, so many families were broken, so many people lost their sons and grandchildren, and so many people lost their fathers and uncles.

There are never real winners in war!

Emperor Mingde did not want to go to war, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid of the death of the people.

Shi Anxia was certain, "Tanlu is the father-in-law of the prince, and the princess consort is coveted by Booth. Privately, Tanlu and the second prince are old enemies. Publicly, the emperor wants to change the prince, and he will definitely not tell Tanlu, which will plant the seeds of mutual distrust between the two sides. Tanlu led his envoys to the North Wing for the competition to cover up his tracks, and Booth's real purpose was to mix in with the envoys and gather people to help the queen mother seize power. When Tanlu knows that he helped Booth to harm his son-in-law, he will never admit that Booth was the one who died. Because Booth's name did not appear in the envoys to begin with."

Now it seems that she is still good at calculating people's hearts.

Shi Anxia smiled slightly, "I'd better find an authoritative person to explain this issue to you. Please invite the Minister of War, Mr. Song, to the palace."

Soon a man came in, but that man was not the Minister of War, Lord Song. "I am the Minister of War, and I am here to explain in detail the unexpected situation at Dongsheng Gate at the request of Lord Song."

"Today at 3:00 pm, we held a military exam for the Northern Wing. The Minister of War, Lord Song, personally led the examination. Soldiers were deployed at the southeast, northwest, and northeast gates of the Imperial Palace. Unexpectedly, a group of people wearing night clothes rushed straight into the Imperial City from outside the Dongsheng Gate. The situation was critical at the time. Lord Song quickly commanded the soldiers to surround and intercept them, and at the same time ordered the candidates to assist in the defense against the rebels."

"There is still a river of blood at Dongsheng Gate, and Lord Song is having people clean up the scene. Of the traitors we know of, 1,061 are from Beiyi, and the other six are from Wan."

After Meng Cheng finished his report, he bowed and left the hall. He was still busy, so he had no time to talk about the ten taels of silver.

In a flash, another dying person was carried into the hall. It was Li Changan, who was imprisoned in the Li family cellar by the Empress Dowager's order.

Li Changan struggled to get up from the stretcher, then knelt down in front of the ministers, "My Li family is the sinner! My Li family is the sinner of the North Wing!"

He cried and revealed everything about how Empress Dowager Jiqing had colluded with the rebels and the people of Wan.

This is the Li family! This is the testimony of the Li family!'

Both human and material evidence are present.

"Li Changan! You are a traitor! You shall not die a good death!" Empress Dowager Jiqing grasped the corner of her robe tightly with both hands. The pain in her whole body was not as intense as the despair in her heart.

Li Changan nodded with tears in his eyes. "Our Li family really deserves a bad death! You bully men and women, embezzle government silver, and pretend to be bandits to rob disaster relief silver! You have done all kinds of bad things and have lost all conscience! Especially you, the queen mother of a country, who are willing to be a traitor! What do you want? You are half buried in the ground, what do you want!"

The Queen Mother slammed the armrests, "Shut up! Shut up! I will live a hundred years! I will live forever! I am a person with great merits... "

She smelled the strong stench and watched the pus flowing to the ground. She suddenly felt very sad and tears filled her eyes.

How did she end up like this? She should be sitting on the dragon throne, receiving the court officials' kneeling respects.

But why did everyone disobey her? Even her Li family wanted to betray her like this?

Defeated! Defeated! The Ministry of War! The Ministry of War controlled the east, west, south, and north gates!

Yes, the Ministry of War should have controlled the east, west, south, and north gates. Song Zhaochang agreed to send all the troops into the imperial city, and at that time he accepted a bribe of ten boxes of gold bars from the Li family.

Why did it become like this?

This old guy surnamed Song is a scoundrel!

No wonder Shi Anxia and his wife can come and go freely, no wonder Eunuch Qi is unharmed, no wonder... but what's the use?

Empress Dowager Jiqing suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but tremble all over.

If...if...could it be that Emperor Mingde’s death was also fake?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her face was distorted like a demon, and her crazy and furious eyes flashed with a frightening cold light.

Her laughter was sharp and piercing, and she laughed until tears came out. As she laughed, she started crying and shouting, "Emperor Mingde, come out... come out..."

A bright yellow figure appeared at the entrance of the hall. The sunlight stretched his shadow very long, and even the shadow revealed endless brilliance and majesty.
