Sheng Changbai also rushed to the front, followed Gu Tingye, and entered the palace. Then he saw Zhao Zongquan, who was already cold. It was Empress Shen crying bitterly in front of the emperor's bed.

"Father, I'm late." King Huan looked pained and followed Queen Shen to kneel down in front of Zhao Zongquan's bed.

"Your Majesty, my rescue is late."

When Gu Tingye saw this situation, he knelt down with a sad face.

There were even tears in his eyes. Although Sheng Changbai didn't see it in person, Gu Tingye probably wasn't so sad when Gu Tingyan died.

Zhao Zongquan did not treat Gu Tingye badly, and was much gentler to Gu Tingye than Gu Yankai.

"His Majesty……"

Sheng Changbai could only cry in mourning for Zhao Zongquan.

Since Zhao Zongquan died at the right time, Sheng Changbai was willing to mourn for Zhao Zongquan.

Of course, Sheng Changbai really meant it.

Not only was Sheng Changbai not sad, he also wanted to celebrate with singing and dancing that Hun Jun was finally dead.

Zhao Zongquan walked over without having to do anything himself. This was the best result Sheng Changbai expected.

"Prince Huan expresses his condolences. Now is not the time to be sad. The country of Zhou Dynasty still needs you to inherit it. The empress and the princes and princesses also need your care."

After all, this is the royal family. After the death of the father, there is not much time for people to grieve. The most important thing is the issue of inheritance.

"Mother, why did your father come to Bintian?"

After hearing Sheng Changbai's words, King Huan stopped crying, but he was not in a hurry to inherit. He first asked about the cause of Zhao Zongquan's death.

"It's Ma Hui and Liu. They forced your father to abdicate and pass the throne to Zhao Qi. If your father didn't obey, they humiliated him in every way. Your father was so angry that he relapsed and refused to give him any treatment. Your father's death was caused by the imperial doctor's treatment." After regaining her composure, Empress Shen still couldn't calm down and said while crying.

After all, the two of them can be considered a poor and humble couple, and their relationship is deeper than that of the average emperor and empress.

Queen Shen's explanation can be summed up as saying that the rescue troops arrived too late.

Zhao Zongquan fell into the hands of Ma Hui and Liu Guifei for too long and was tortured to death.

"Bring me Ma Hui and Concubine Liu!"

King Huan shouted with red eyes, basically roaring.

It was also because Zhao Zongquan was not originally the heir to the throne and belonged to an ordinary family.

King Huan, who grew up in such a family, also had great affection for Zhao Zongquan.

It's not colder than the ordinary royal family relationship, it really has a certain father-son relationship.

"They also took away the jade seal and wrote an imperial edict. Fortunately, Your Majesty, you came in time." Empress Shen continued to preach.

"No wonder the two of them were shouting like that outside." Gu Tingye responded.

"Let me go. My son is the emperor. How dare you do this to me? It was the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother who did this. Zhao Zongquan has no virtue and incompetence. He should be abolished and established. The Queen Mother promised to establish him. My son is The emperor’s.”

After Concubine Liu was brought in, she still kept shouting.

To be fair, with the support of the Queen Mother, it is not considered a complete conspiracy by both of them, and it can be considered to have a certain basis.

The attitude of the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty was no joke, and she definitely had certain rights to abolish and establish emperors.

Especially when Zhao Zongquan was still a cheap and unfilial adopted son.

But this time is not the time to discuss etiquette.

Now that we are at war with each other, it is time to compete with each other to see who has the bigger fist.

As long as King Huan comes back and Shen, Gu, Geng, and Duan all side with King Huan, then King Huan has the greatest power.

"You are a vicious woman, you have wasted your father's favor on you, how dare you murder him." King Huan angrily scolded his father's concubine.

"It's not that I want to kill him, I just want my son to ascend the throne, otherwise I would do this. At your age, you have been recognized by so many courtiers, how can it be possible for my son to ascend the throne."

King Huan had begun to threaten Zhao Zongquan's status. He was bullying his younger brother by fighting for inheritance rights.

Since he was a legitimate, virtuous and elder brother, his underage brothers had no chance of competing with King Huan.

"The devil is obsessed with the mind, and the desire for profit is clouding the mind."

"Ma Hui, my father trusts you so much. You are just a commoner. My father gave you a title and promoted you to a general. How do you repay my father like this?"

"Shen Congxing is your uncle, and Gu Tingye has made great achievements many times. The two of them are above me in power and position. I have nothing to say. But Geng, Duan and others who were originally guardians of the hospital are all in power and position above me. How could Zhao Zongquan treat me so poorly?"

This unruly brother-in-law had obviously been dissatisfied with Zhao Zongquan for a long time.

With the Queen Mother's promise, when my nephew had the chance to become emperor, he chose to take the chance.
