Chapter 1532 King of Chu: He was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he died at the hands of an assassin...
Shenjing City
On his side, Qiu Liang, accompanied by the captain of the Jinyi Palace, took a few quick steps, left the Jinyi Palace official hall, and headed towards the palace.
Hanyuan Hall, inner study
The King of Chu sat on a royal chair, and his sinister, fair face seemed to show a bit of flushed aura after being drunk. At this moment, he closed his eyes slightly, as if to rest his mind.
Sang Yao, the internal minister of Daming Palace, approached, with a puzzled look on his fair face, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Palace, Qiu Liang, is outside asking for an audience."
"I'm a little sleepy now. Ask him to come and see me again tomorrow." The King of Chu waved his slender hands, with a hint of impatience in his tone.
Sang Yao came closer and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Qiu Liang has something important to ask for your Majesty's attention. It's urgent and he insists on seeing you."
The King of Chu paused, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Let him in."
If you continue to say bad things about Jia Ziyu, don't blame him for getting furious.
After a while, Qiu Liang was seen walking quickly from outside. His rough face with curly beard looked like it was covered with cold frost. His thick eyebrows were raised and his eyes were cold. He took a few quick steps and came closer. He bowed and said, "I greet your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
"Stand up." The King of Chu opened his slightly sleepy eyes and asked loudly, "What are you doing in the palace this time, Mr. Qiu?"
Qiu Liang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, today I was able to monitor the Jia Mansion and heard that Jia Zheng's eldest son, Jia Zhu's widow Li, gave birth to a child."
"Just speak frankly. I don't want to listen to these trivial family matters." The King of Chu said in a deep voice with a look of impatience on his face.
Perhaps, as the Queen said, she was just spreading Zi Yu's slander again, but now was not the time to act rashly. She would give Qiu Liang a warning later.
Qiu Liang's face was slightly solemn, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, Li's father Jia Zhu has passed away, and Li is a widow living in the mansion. She actually got pregnant and gave birth to a child. It is really unbelievable."
The King of Chu frowned and said in a deep voice: "So, what do you want to say?"
Qiu Liang whispered, "Your Majesty, that Li gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
Upon hearing this, the King of Chu looked deeply at him and asked in confusion, "What did you say about twins, boy and girl?"
What kind of nonsense is this?
At this moment, the King of Chu was still drunk.
Qiu Liang said: "I am also very puzzled, how come they are twins, a boy and a girl?"
The King of Chu also sensed something at this moment. His fair face kept changing expression as he whispered, "How could they be twins, a boy and a girl?"
The Queen is a twin, a boy and a girl. Then the Song family is a twin, a boy and a girl. Now even the widow of the Jia family is a twin, a boy and a girl?
When did twins become so common?
Qiu Liang's eyes were cold as lightning, and he whispered, "According to the lieutenant, the twins may be the children of Wei Jun Wang Jia Heng."
When the King of Chu heard this, he asked, "So, what exactly is going on?"
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Are they all Zi Yu’s children?
Song can still be said to be the late emperor, but how could the empress...
At this moment, most of the drunkenness on the King of Chu disappeared, his eyes flashed coldly, and a surge of anger like the waves of a river surged in his heart.
Qiu Liang said: "Your Majesty."
The King of Chu nodded and said, "You can go down."
Qiu Liang's rough face showed an inexplicable expression. He looked at the King of Chu, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, and said, "Then I will take my leave."
He spoke and said nothing else, then tiptoed out of the inner study.
"Bang~"
The King of Chu smashed down on the imperial desk all of a sudden. In an instant, the brushes and inkstones hanging from the pen holder on the red date-colored lacquered wooden desk flew all over the place. The memorials that were originally stacked up in a pile also scattered and fell off the desk.
Sang Yao's expression suddenly changed and his heart was startled.
The King of Chu's eyes were inexplicably gloomy, his calm, sinister face was like a thick layer of frost, and he said in a deep voice: "Sang Yao, let the inner guards secretly investigate whether it is true as Qiu Liang said that the widow Li gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl."
It's impossible. The Queen has always been proud and arrogant. It's impossible. Besides, his twin boy and girl look more like him.
Sang Yao quickly bowed in response and walked away without saying anything more.
After Sang Yao left, the King of Chu's jade-like face suddenly showed a fierce and cold look.
Qiu Liang was most likely trying to sow discord among them in order to make him suspicious of Jia Ziyu.
In fact, no man can accept the fact that he has been cuckolded and is unwilling to admit it at the first time.
On the other side, Qiu Liang strode out of the palace with a murderous look on his face, and walked towards the outside of the palace along the vermilion palace walls with green eaves and black tiles.
On the King of Chu's flawless white face, one could see dark clouds rolling and a murderous aura shrouding him. He immediately sat down, an indescribable anger rising in his heart.
Before this matter is verified, you must not act rashly.
Otherwise, once he is asked, no matter whether it is true or false, his dignity as the emperor will be humiliated.
At this moment, the King of Chu was lingering in his mind, anxiously waiting for the feedback from the inner guards, until the evening, when dusk fell and the lights were turned on.
The lights in the hall were orange-yellow and shone brightly, spreading out like water, illuminating the clear water floor, and the lights were sparkling.
In a palace not far from the study in the Hanyuan Hall, one can see the winding and undulating blue dragon roof, with tiles covering the palace. The White Lotus Mother, wearing a green hat and a green robe, is sneaking along the roof.
Just like that, as evening approached, the drizzle fell, and between the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a vast grayness could be seen. The entire majestic and magnificent palace was shrouded in a misty rain.
The King of Chu was now a little sober. He heard the raindrops trickling down the eaves, and hitting the blue bricks on the eaves, making a crackling sound. He couldn't help feeling even more irritated.
Under the King of Chu's sword-like brows, his eyes were deep, and an indescribable murderous anger surged in his heart.
It should not be the Queen. This is either a coincidence or Qiu Liang is so evil that he would do anything to alienate the emperor and his ministers.
Qiu Liang deserves to be killed! Deserves to be killed!!!
But if it was true, could Ziyu really have an affair with Zitong? Impossible, Zitong has always been arrogant...
Let him think about how he got pregnant with this child.
It seemed that he had not touched the queen much since his eldest son died at the hands of an assassin in Jiangnan. The last time he did so was when he was drunk...
Thinking of this, the doubts in the King of Chu's heart were gradually magnifying. In an instant, the seeds of suspicion took root and sprouted, and thorny vines suddenly entangled the King of Chu's heart.
Otherwise, how to explain the twins, a boy and a girl?
Could they all be Jia Ziyu's children? It's possible, otherwise how could they all be rare twins?
In the past, it could be said that it was the bloodline of the royal family. Then where did Jia Zhu’s widow, Li, get her bloodline from?
This is really unreasonable!
It’s really deceiving!
The King of Chu began to have wild thoughts again. Under his thick eyebrows, a gloomy look appeared in his bright eyes. His face was as cold as frost and his mood was inexplicably complicated.
At this time, the King of Chu heard footsteps coming from outside and asked, "Sang Yao, have you found out any news about Li from Ningguo Mansion?"
Then, at this moment, a dark figure wearing a bamboo hat flashed into the inner study, with a cold aura surrounding him.
It seemed that in the rolling dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and soon, lightning and thunder could be seen. The study room suddenly became white and shining with bright light.
Then, the King of Chu saw a sword light as stunning as a flying wild goose, as fast as thunder, as powerful as thunder, and with endless murderous intent, it suddenly came towards him.
The remaining drunkenness of the King of Chu was suddenly wiped out by fear, his pupils shrank sharply, and he said in shock:
"There are thorns..."
"Pfft..."
The King of Chu only felt an inexplicable pain in his throat, and inexplicable panic and pain kept attacking his body and mind.
Immediately, he felt terrified. Even though he stretched out his hands to grab something, the King of Chu's hands were like a drowning man. He grasped at the air aimlessly for a few times but found nothing.
Assassin, why did the assassin want to assassinate him?
Before the King of Chu could think carefully, he felt an extreme pain in his throat. An indescribable feeling of suffocation gradually came over him, making his whole body feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, with his hands and feet extremely cold.
He was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, yet he was killed by an assassin...
Before he thought for too long, he felt an indescribable darkness surging over him like a tide, instantly drowning the King of Chu.
At this moment, a look of lightness appeared on the fair and beautiful face of the White Lotus Mother in the green hat, and then she left the study room quickly without saying much.
The evening rain was drizzling, the sky was dark, two paper lanterns hung on the eaves of the corridor with blue bricks and black tiles were swaying in the wind, casting circles of orange-yellow light that fell on the clear bluestone slabs, revealing the gleam of water and the glow of fire.
After a while, a scream was heard from the inner study room, which was filled with horror and fear, breaking the tranquility of the palace shrouded in the evening rain.
"Someone, come and save me, save me!"
In an instant, the entire palace fell into chaos with people and horses falling to the ground.
The emperor was assassinated and died in his inner study, just four months after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
Zhen Qing was having dinner with her twins at the moment. Her beautiful face, with its dainty bun and charming look, was full of smiles.
The crystal clear heart is full of happiness and sweetness.
At this moment, a maid entered the hall and said urgently, "Madam, something terrible has happened. His Majesty has been assassinated."
The spoon in Zhen Qing's hand suddenly fell and hit the blue and white porcelain jade bowl. Immediately, the jade bowl made a "ding" sound, which was crisp and pleasant, and seemed particularly abrupt in the back hall of Kunning Palace.
Zhen Qing's cold and bright face turned pale as paper. She handed the two cute babies to the care of the nanny beside her and whispered, "I'll go over there."
After thinking for a while, he instructed the female official beside him and said anxiously, "Come here, summon Prince Wei to the palace immediately."
Right now, at this critical moment, I really can't leave that bastard.
After Zhen Qing finished speaking, she stood up and walked quickly to the outside.
At this moment, a group of eunuchs and maids had gathered outside the study in Hanyuan Hall, and the Jinyifu guards were also standing guard with knives in hand.
"The Queen is here." At this moment, an eunuch said, and then everyone made way and looked at the beautiful lady in a plain dress and a beautiful bun on the corridor.
Zhen Qing's face was as pale as paper. At this moment, accompanied by several palace maids, she staggered slightly and walked quickly towards the palace. When she entered the inner study, she immediately smelled a bloody smell.
The King of Chu was now lying on a lacquered wooden table, with dark red blood gushing out from his throat, flowing on the white jade-like rice paper, and suddenly jumping into the eyes, dazzling bright red.
Zhen Qing's expression suddenly changed, and she said in a startled voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Although she had previously considered poisoning the King of Chu, she had not expected that he would die so suddenly, which caught Zhen Qing off guard for a moment.
Even though Zhen Qing was originally a vicious person, at this moment, seeing the miserable death of the King of Chu lying in a pool of blood, she couldn't help but feel sad.
"What's going on?" Zhen Qing asked with fear in her eyes and a slight tremor in her voice.
At this moment, an eunuch said with a hint of tears in his voice, "My queen, during dinner, I found that His Majesty..."
Zhen Qing calmed herself down, her beautiful eyes narrowed under her curved eyebrows, and she shouted in a stern voice, "What are the palace guards for? How could they let the assassin get close to His Majesty?"
At this moment, a female official came into the hall and said, "Madam, the two Generals Zhen are waiting outside the hall."
The two Zhen Generals are Zhen Jue and Zhen Lin, who are in charge of the palace guards. They are now in charge of the palace's guard and vigilance.
Now that the new emperor has been assassinated, it is reasonable to say that these two are also responsible.
……
……
On the other hand, let's go back a little bit in time. Jia Heng walked out of the Daming Palace quickly and rode his saddled chestnut horse all the way to Ningguo Mansion without stopping.
Ningguo Mansion, in the outer study room——
Chen Xiao is currently playing chess with Gu Ruoqing. Both of them have beautiful eyes and eyebrows. When they sit down, they are bright and attractive, and there is no difference between them.
Chen Xiao raised her eyebrows, her sparkling eyes looked at the gloomy young man in the python costume, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Jia Heng had no expression on his face. He lowered his voice and said, "Xiaoxiao, come with me to Liutiao Hutong."
Chen Xiao was moved when he heard this, but without saying much, he followed Jia Heng.
In the old house in Liutiao Hutong, which is a few hundred steps away from Ningguo Mansion——
Fan Yi, dressed in a colorful Shu brocade scholar's robe, sat down on a dark red lacquered pearwood chair, while Cai Quan, wearing armor at the moment, sat not far away with an anxious look on his face, and from time to time he poked his head out to check the situation.
Dong Qian sat not far away, his broad, dignified face also showing a hint of anxiety.
Dong Qian looked at Fan Yi, who was calm and composed, holding a cup of tea in his hand and sipping the fragrant tea, and asked, "Mr. Fan, why did the Marshal ask us to come here urgently?"
"Planning big things." Fan Yi put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, and under his thick eyebrows, his old eyes seemed to contain divine light and flashed with wisdom, and he said in a low voice.
Dong Qian looked at Cai Quan standing beside him. The two of them looked at each other, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Xie Zaiyi, on the other hand, looked much calmer. He picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup, took a sip, and had some vague guesses in his mind.
At today's gathering in Xihe Palace, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat strange.
Jia Fang, who was standing on the eaves of the corridor, had a cold look under his sword-like brows, and he said in a hurry: "The prince is here."
While they were talking, the two doors of the Jia family courtyard opened with a creaky sound, and the young man in the python robe, with a calm face and a tall and slender figure, walked quickly into the courtyard.
Jia Fang's eyes were determined under his two handsome eyebrows that slanted into his temples. He called out in a clear voice, "Uncle Heng."
Jia Heng nodded and walked along the gravel path into the residence he had lived in when he was humble. The pomegranate tree by the east window was still green and lush after the rain, just like before.
I remember that six years ago, he lived with Qingwen in this simple thatched house, and later married Keqing. Then, he walked out of Liutiao Hutong with a sword in hand. In the blink of an eye, six years had passed.
Jia Heng entered the hall in a trance. In the main hall, one could see Xie Zaiyi, Dong Qian, Cai Quan, Song Yuan, and Fan Yi. These were his old brothers when he first started his career.
There are only a few people like these who can really plan important matters in the secret room.
"General Ji (Prince)." Several people bowed to Jia Heng and stood up one after another, their voices uniform and melodious.
Jia Heng nodded, extended his hand to support him, and said, "Brother, there is no need to be polite. Come and sit down."
Xie Zaiyi, Cai Quan and Dong Qian sat down at this moment, and under their thick brows, they looked at the young man in the python robe with surprise.
Jia Heng considered his words carefully, stared at Cai Quan, Xie Zaiyi and others, and said loudly: "From the time you and I gathered together as brothers to the time we pacified Liaodong, in the blink of an eye, six years have passed."
Cai Quan nodded and said, "Yes, it has been six years in a flash."
I still remember when he first came to this small courtyard, he met the commander-in-chief, and from then on he rose to prominence. It was truly a time of opportunity that swept the world.
Xie Zaiyi also had a dazed look in his eyes beneath his thick eyebrows. From a city gate captain to a third-class duke, if it weren't for the Prince of Wei, he would never have the wealth and glory he has today.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, his eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at Xie Zaiyi intently, and said in a deep voice: "Just now, the emperor left me alone, saying that he would adjust the system of the Beijing camp and make some adjustments to the personnel."
Fan Yi twisted a few strands of gray beard under his chin with his hands, his cloudy eyes were full of wisdom, and he said: "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked; when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden. This has been the case in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is natural that the emperor will have his own ministers."
A dark color flashed across Xie Zaiyi's eyes, and he asked in a serious tone, "What is the commander going to do?"
Jia Heng looked at him calmly, and said, "Prepare for a rainy day and wait for changes."
Of course, he could not say that someone from the White Lotus Sect had arranged to assassinate the new emperor. He could not say such words even to his confidants.
Some things cannot be said.
Of course, everyone present was smart. After hearing this, they looked at each other with some guesses on their faces.
Fan Yi reminded him, "Your Majesty, the one who strikes first wins, the one who strikes later loses."
Jia Heng nodded, then looked at Xie Zaiyi, put on a serious expression and said, "Brother Xie, I have something to ask of you."
"Yes." Xie Zaiyi responded and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Jia Heng's eyes flashed aggressively, and he whispered, "You and Cai Quan will stay in the Beijing Camp for the next few days. Be alert to the movements in Shenjing City and follow my orders at any time."
Xie Zaiyi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Jia Heng looked at Dong Qian who was not far away and said in a gentle voice, "Cousin, you should bring your personal guards and Jia Fang with me these two days to protect the Ning and Rong mansions and the Jinyang Princess's mansion."
Dong Qian's face became serious and he bowed in response.
An indescribable feeling welled up in my heart.
It's clear that a storm is about to come.
After Jia Heng finished his instructions, he left Liutiaoer Hutong without any further ado and sat down in the hall of Ningguo Mansion.
Suddenly, a servant came in from outside and said, "Your Highness, someone has come to the palace. The Queen said that there is an emergency and she wants you to come in."
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression paused, his eyes looked deep, and he said, "I'll be there right away."
I think there has been some progress with the White Lotus Mother.
To be honest, he has been patient with the King of Chu for a long time.
I would like to recommend a book written by a good friend of mine, "Rebirth 08: My Academic Success Story".
After being released from prison, Xu Qingshan vowed to take the right path, but returned to southern Fujian in 2008. The main themes are [academic master/love/scientific research/business/family/clan].
