Following the exclamation from the head chamberlain, the atmosphere in the dining room, which had regained some warmth, suddenly became stagnant.

The head chamberlain looked panicked and staggered as he walked across the banquet and arrived directly in front of the emperor.

The emperor's heart trembled and he looked at him with a frown. The entire hall was silent, except for the distant sound of fireworks outside the palace, which highlighted the tomb-like silence in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the loud noise just now came from the Prince's Mansion and the palace gate. The Prince's Mansion and the palace gate were blown up by unknown objects."

Before the head chamberlain could finish speaking and the emperor could react, the queen stood up suddenly, her face turned pale and her breath was trembling, "What did you say? Where did it explode?"

Xiao Jiayuan and Li Fei both looked at the queen.

Strange.

I didn't see how sad she was when the prince died. She couldn't bear the explosion of the mansion?

The queen was breathing heavily and stared at the head chamberlain. She couldn't even wait for a moment and urgently urged, "Say it!"

The head chamberlain pursed his lower lip and said, "The Prince's Mansion, yes, it was the mourning hall that was blown up."

"How is it possible..." The queen felt that the world was spinning for an instant, and before she could finish her sentence, a mouthful of blood spurted out. A golden light appeared in front of her eyes, and she fell straight forward.

Fortunately, the nanny next to her reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her from rolling down the steps.

The queen's fainting caused a small-scale commotion. The emperor had no time to care about her. He waved his hand to take her down and ask the imperial doctor to go to the back for treatment. The queen was taken away. The emperor's eyes were filled with heavy anger and he looked at the chamberlain, his voice was filled with anger.

And shock, plus a faint panic, with a slightly broken voice, "What is an unidentified object?"

The head chamberlain took a breath and said with a frightened expression: "That is, according to the people who reported back and forth, the guards at the palace gate saw a strange stone suddenly hitting the carriage of Prince Duankang's palace. The Prince's Palace also said,

It was a strange stone falling from the sky that hit the prince's mourning hall."

Strange rocks fell from the sky.

As an emperor, this is the most taboo thing!

This is a punishment from heaven!

What is a punishment from heaven? It means that he, the emperor, did something unqualified and caused the anger of heaven and people, so he would send strange stones as punishment.

It’s another special day like today.

The emperor's face was ashen and even more panicked.

However, the Queen Mother next to him calmed down earlier than him, and slapped the table, "Nonsense, there is peace and prosperity, banquets in the sea and rivers, your majesty's wise ministers are able to help the people live and work in peace and contentment, where did the strange rocks come from the sky, who has ulterior motives and is so destructive to people's hearts,

Why don’t you catch me quickly!”

No one in the main hall dared to speak.

The emperor took a breath, his anger erupted, and he glanced at the courtiers.

The emperor's wrath is like thunder.

Everyone in the entire hall was trembling. Those with good psychological quality just lowered their eyes and lowered their heads. Those with poor psychological quality were so frightened that they almost fainted, and even the timid female family members kept crying.

Finally, the emperor's eyes fell on Xiao Jiayuan. He squinted and stared at Xiao Jiayuan for as long as a cup of tea. Finally, he looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and said, "The Ministry of Justice will go and investigate now. We must find the source of the explosion before dawn.

.”

The Minister of Punishment crawled out from the seats, hurriedly accepted the order, and left quickly with the Minister of Punishment who was sitting at the table.

After the Minister of Punishment left, the Emperor asked the Chief Chamberlain: "Are the casualties serious?"

The head chamberlain hurriedly said: "The casualties in the Prince's Palace are still unknown. The area at the entrance of the palace is empty. Only the carriage of Prince Duankang's Palace was bombed, but people from Prince Anbo's Palace were also there at that time..."

Before the chamberlain could finish speaking, the emperor frowned tightly, "Prince Anbo's Mansion? Who?"

The head chamberlain said: "It is said that he is Princess Anbo's younger brother, Gu Heng."

The emperor was puzzled, "What is he doing there?"

The chief chamberlain said: "I don't know yet, but it happened that Zhang Yuanzhang brought Dr. Zhao to the palace for duty. They were passing there and they were about to enter the palace when the explosion occurred. As soon as they reached the entrance of the palace, it exploded behind them. They simply got closer and it was already

I saved people in the past.

The other slaves don’t know yet, so I will come back immediately to report the news.”

The emperor looked at Xiao Jiayuan again with a gloomy face.

The moment he got the news, the emperor had an idea in his mind: Yu Yan did it.

But now he was shaken again. If Yu Yan really did it, how could Gu Heng be there?

If it weren't for Yu Yan...

The emperor couldn't help but think of the explosion in the Queen Mother's palace that day and the cat marks on the wall.

Although the fire at that time was traced to the queen, the explosion had nothing to do with the queen, and there was no evidence from the cat's mark to prove who did it.

It is impossible for this banquet to continue, but the matter has not been investigated clearly, and now they are still carrying the name of a strange stone sent from the sky, so the emperor cannot let these people leave.

With a few staunch royalists in tow, the emperor left the banquet and returned to the imperial study.

The chamberlain was guarding the door, and the emperor and several courtiers were waiting in the imperial study for news from the Minister of Punishment.

Queen's palace.

As soon as the queen opened her eyes, she drove away all the imperial doctors in front of her. When there was no one else in the bedroom, she grabbed her personal nanny and turned over to sit up. With disheveled hair, she asked anxiously: "What is going on in the prince's palace?"

Grandma was also very anxious, "It was said that the bomb happened to hit the mourning hall. It did not blow up the prince's coffin, but the mourning hall was blown into pieces. Many people there who were responsible for keeping watch and burning paper were injured by the explosion."

The queen's eyes were about to burst, "Where is the emperor's coffin? How is the coffin?"

Mammy shook her head anxiously, "I don't know yet. It's hard for me to ask people to check this. If someone finds out the clues, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the Queen and Your Highness."

The queen took a deep breath and said, "I will go now."

As she spoke, she was about to turn over and get off the ground, but was stopped by her nanny, "Mother, not to mention that Your Majesty does not allow courtiers and family members to leave the banquet hall now. Even if you just went to the Prince's Mansion, how can we check?"

The queen was furious and said, "Then I have to go too. The emperor's coffin..."

The prince is not dead at all.

Prince Duankang's palace contacted her at that time and asked her to make a fuss about the prince. This was the only way for her to return to the palace.

In order to stabilize the situation in the court, the emperor must set up a new three-legged alliance. When King Yu fell, the emperor couldn't wait for a powerful force to resist Yu Yan, but for a while, there was no one in the court who was reliable, easy to control, and powerful.

strength.

The queen happened to fit the bill.

At that time, the Anping Mansion collapsed, and it collapsed because of that kind of thing. The prince had no chance of succeeding to the throne. The only reason why the emperor would not depose the prince was because he needed this status to resist Yu Yan.

But she couldn't just watch the prince just be a chess piece with no future.

She borrowed the power of Prince Duankang's palace and pretended to cooperate with him, but secretly ordered someone to find a secret medicine to make the prince fake his death, even the envoy Zhang Yuan hid it.

The prince was lying in the coffin.

The coffin was specially made with air holes inside.

Her plan was very simple. She returned to the palace with one purpose: to kill the emperor as quickly as possible.

The emperor died so unexpectedly that it was impossible to leave a succession edict. Then her prince would be able to come back to life. At that time, the prince would be the only legitimate successor.

As for the reason for the resurrection, God's will is enough.
