Chapter 138: Court

The next day, it was said that the queen lost her mind due to the incident with the prince, and she shouted about a ghost in the middle of the night.

The fifth princess Shi Ying accompanied her mother, and they moved into the Buddhist hall in the palace together.

Shen Xian didn't have much emotion when she found out, just a little bit sad.

Yesterday she looked a little crazy again when she saw the queen. She must have been too stimulated in the past few days. How can she bear it when it suddenly breaks out?

But then I thought about it, if the queen entered the Buddhist hall, wouldn't Dudu not be in front of her?

So he quickly got up and prepared to enter the palace.

At this moment, in the court hall.

People from the Third Prince's faction wrote letters one after another demanding that the deposed prince be beheaded in public and a new prince should be elected as soon as possible to ensure peace.

Everyone was forcing Shi Ling to make a decision, but he didn't move at all, standing straight at the top as if he couldn't hear anything.

Until someone stood up and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, King Xuan, forgive me for being bold. It has been more than two months since His Majesty was seriously ill in bed. In these two months, His Majesty has not shown his face even once. May I ask how your Majesty is doing now?"

Shi Ling frowned and turned around with a dark expression.

Staring straight at the speaker, he asked in a low voice: "For example, to be more clear, what do you mean?"

The man was not afraid and continued: "What I mean is that I am afraid that someone wants to dominate the court and support the puppet for his own use."

Combined with the recent folk rumors, Princess Xuan intends to get close to the 18th prince, and even bets thousands of gold on the 18th prince to become the crown prince. All signs are pointing to one thing.

King Xuan was ambitious and intended to control the government.

Some people saw Shi Ling's tactics and did not dare to mess with him, and some wanted to gamble their future, but all of them jumped out like grasshoppers after the fall.

Everyone was very happy and didn't care at all how they would die later.

Shi Ling listened quietly to them finishing their "crimes" and smiled coldly: "Where is the evidence? You sir, just want to kill me with your empty words. You are so cruel."

How many people are you looking at me and me looking at you?

After searching the whole court, I couldn't find anyone more cruel than him.

"Don't you think that His Majesty has passed away a long time ago, and that I blocked the sky with my hands to prevent the mourning and prevent the new crown prince from ascending to the throne?"

This is what everyone is thinking, but no one dares to say it out loud.

Everyone has seen His Majesty's physical condition after the assassination that day. His body was so weak that no matter how hard he tried, he would not have been able to survive until now.

What's more, now that Shi Ling said these words himself, people have to think that he is showing off?

After all, it is possible based on his past style.

Shi Yu, who had been silent all this time, finally moved his feet and turned to look at Shi Ling: "No matter how much the emperor talks, it would be better to invite the father to come out and let all the officials see how the father is."

Shi Ling narrowed his eyes, exuding an unpleasant aura.

He tilted his head and raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know that His Majesty is not exposed to the wind? What if His Majesty is troubled by this? Third Prince, will you be responsible?"

Shi Ling smiled on the surface, but the smile did not hit his eyes. He slowly approached Shi Yu and bowed slightly to approach him.

"Or is it that the third prince can't wait to become the new prince and wants to know with his own eyes whether your father is dead or not, so as to avoid long nights and nightmares?"

Shi Yu's face became increasingly ugly, and his fists hidden under his official robes began to rattle.

"That's my father, how could I curse him?"

Many of the ministers behind him were supporting the third prince, while most of the others were too cautious to speak out.

"On the contrary, uncle, if my father is fine, why don't you let us go and pay respects to him? Your frequent visits to the Golden Dragon Palace, uncle, really makes people suspicious."

Shi Ling looked like what he said made sense and raised his hand to let him continue.

He walked to the center with his arms akimbo and slowly turned his back.

Seeing this, Shi Yu knew that Shi Ling could not do what they said with just a few words.

Then he turned around and looked at Shen Yuanhe in the crowd.

Shen Yuanhe's injury was almost healed, and he slowly walked out of the team and saluted Shi Lingyaoyuan.

Said: "I think that now that the people's sentiments are unstable and the government is uneasy, it is better for the prince to let your majesty show his face to calm the people's hearts."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers in the palace knelt on the ground and shouted in the direction of Shi Ling: "Your Majesty, please come out and preside over the government to calm the people's hearts."

Obviously, this was to intimidate him.

Shi Ling's hands on his waist gently tapped the belt, his face was not very relaxed, and he turned around to scan the faces of the ministers kneeling on the ground one by one.

It seems that I want to write them all down.

Then he stared at Shi Yu and said, "If this king invites His Majesty, what crime should you be guilty of?"

"I will not hesitate to ask for orders for the people. As long as my father is safe and my nephew can rest assured, I will punish my uncle as I please."

His words were sincere, and he really looked like a kind and positive little pitiful person.

But Shi Ling just snorted coldly, strode out and said loudly: "Then please ministers, please wait a moment, I will invite your Majesty to come down for you."

As soon as he left, everyone gathered around Shi Yu.

Someone swallowed and said in fear: "Third Prince, what should we do if His Majesty really comes?"

Shi Yu looked sinisterly at the door Shi Ling walked out of, and said in a deep voice: "I also want to know where he came from to find His Majesty."

It's not that he deliberately cursed, but that the spies he placed in the Golden Dragon Palace came to report this morning that Emperor Hongzheng passed away last night.

I don’t know who lives in the Golden Dragon Palace at this moment.

Shen Yuanhe retracted his eyes: "Since the prince told us to wait, then we will wait. In short, people cannot be resurrected after death."

Shi Yu nodded.

Shen Xian just used her status as Princess Xuan to pick up Dudu from Fengluan Palace, and then handed it over to Chen Cainu smoothly.

The man who was originally very sick immediately got out of bed and regained his energy the moment he saw his son.

Shen Xian took this opportunity and finally entered Chen Cainu's bedroom. The room was very simple, with just a table, chair, bed, and not even a single extraneous furnishing.

Nothing can be hidden from a glance.

Where is it hidden?

It's true, Mr. Emperor, just make it clear. The entire Ningyu Pavilion is so big, even if you dig three feet into the ground, it will take several days.

dig?

It's not really underground, is it?

Thinking about it, she lowered her head and kicked the ground with her feet.

It's quite hard and doesn't look like something can be buried in it. Could it be in the yard?

It would be better to go and ask the emperor in person later.

As she was thinking about it, she stretched out one foot. Ah Feng suddenly jumped down from above her head. She was so frightened that Grandma and Chen Cainu quickly protected Dudu, thinking that an assassin was coming.

Shen Xian was afraid that they really called the Imperial Guard, so she hurriedly said: "It's not an assassin! This is a boy from my house who is looking for me."
