My Ferocious Tigress Wife

After Second Master Xie’s scolding, Third Master Xie also became obedient.

“Our Xie clan…” Third Master Xie sighed deeply. He felt that it was going to be difficult. However, she was afraid that it would be unlucky to say it out loud, so she swallowed it back.

The two brothers were no longer sleepy. Rong Antang was on guard and did not allow them to go up and cause trouble. Whether the Xie family succeeded or not, it would all depend on heaven’s will and Xie Xian.

The two of them ordered a jar of wine and drank for the entire night without even ordering any dishes.

###

No one had expected Xie Xian to do such a thing. Not only did he spread the news of the King’s Empress killing the emperor to his own family, but all the officials and generals in Jiankang City were sent ‘goods’ on the same day. They were all news of the King’s Empress killing the emperor and killing the courtiers in the palace.

It was as if a pot had exploded. Everyone knew that this matter was not to be joked about. Every spittle was a nail.

As soon as the news spread, those families who had been brought into the palace could not take it anymore. They were afraid that their family head was a tough nut to crack and would not rely on Empress Wang to be killed by her. He was also afraid that he was a tough nut to crack. His life was saved, but his reputation was ruined.

It was destined that no one could sleep that night. All the officials in Jiankang City had lit up their lanterns, making it as bright as day.

Empress Wang had waited for so long without receiving news of Xin ‘an Prince, Sikong Xiao, and Xie Xian entering the palace. She knew that things were not good.

However, fortunately, those who deserved to die were dead, and those who should have submitted had submitted.

Since he had already lured her into the palace, it was impossible to hide the Emperor’s death.

However, some people believed it, while others did not.

Those who believed in the Empress’s reason naturally survived. The only one who doubted the Emperor’s death was General Xue Mu, who had already been killed on the spot by the commander of the Middle Army and a group of royal guards who were lying in ambush in Taiji Palace.

The battle was intense. It was true that Xue Mu had died, but he had also captured more than ten people to die with him. In the end, if not for the archers lying in ambush, Xue Mu would have almost killed his way out of the East Hall.

No one dared to stand up and resist.

Although King Jiangxia also agreed that the Emperor had died from an excessive consumption of the Red Pill, Empress Wang trusted Zheng Zhi more than King Jiangxia, so she let Zheng Zhi take over the position of Wei Wei. The King of Huaiyang took over the position of General of the Army.

After the matters in the palace were settled, it was time to take care of the matters outside the palace.

If there was one person who was not summoned into the palace, it was still reasonable. Xin An Prince, Xie Xian, and Sikong Xiao were not summoned into the palace. If the three of them said that they did not gather together to cause trouble, even a ghost would not believe it.

“Mother, what should we do next?”The Crown Prince asked anxiously.

Blood splattered all over the ground in the East Hall, and there were more than a dozen corpses. She ordered the palace servants to carry them out. Empress Wang and the others chose the royal study next door where the Emperor usually read memorials. The place was not like the East Hall, and the space was much smaller.

Empress Wang was undoubtedly sitting on the dragon throne while the Crown Prince stood to the side.

Prince Jiangxia and Prince Huaiyang were ranked first and second on the left, followed by Wang Lang and Zheng Zhi.

“If Xin ‘an King is not eliminated, he will always be a huge threat.’Wang Lang said. “Xiao Yun is the leading general and guards the capital. He has an army in his hands. Once he stands on the side of Xin ‘an King, I’m afraid… Not good.”

He was just holding back and did not say anything. Empress Wang did not say anything to anyone before she attacked, so he could not give her any advice at all.

It wasn’t that Empress Wang’s move was wrong, but once Sikong Xiao was tricked into the Imperial Palace, they would naturally let them do whatever they wanted, and their plan would be half successful.

However, not only Sikong Xiao, but even the Xin ‘an Prince was not under his control. What use could the Central Imperial Army have?

Once Sikong Xiao showed his carriage, Jiankang City would be in chaos.

Why was Sikong Xiao so highly regarded by Emperor Yu Heng? He had fought hard on the battlefield. At least, he had never heard of Sikong Xiao losing a battle!

Prince Xin ‘an was a prince favored by the Emperor, and Sikong Xiao was a great general who held military power. Among the three of them, even Xie Xian was not of much use. Unfortunately, he was also the head of the aristocratic families, Emperor Yu Heng’s favorite minister, and was personally conferred the title of Minister of Personnel.

With these three people together, the outcome was still uncertain!

“Xiao Yun has always been on the Xin An King’s side. He must be on the Xin An King’s side now!”The crown prince asked, could he say something more nutritious?

The Crown Prince’s heart was burning with anxiety. He did not want to fly anymore as he looked at the throne that was within his grasp.

However, he did not dare to throw a tantrum in front of the Empress. Ever since he saw Emperor Yu Heng’s corpse bleeding from all seven orifices in the west hall and knew that it was his own mother who did it, Empress Wang had already refreshed his understanding of her, and he was terrified.

This was someone who dared to say and do things. He was bolder and more vicious than him.

Empress Wang tapped the table lightly.

“The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne. It is only right and proper for the Crown Prince to succeed the throne after the Emperor dies. On his deathbed, the emperor summoned all the ministers for an audience. Wang Lang, the King of Jiangxia and the King of Huaiyang were all auxiliary ministers. If the King of Xin ‘an disagreed, it would be a conspiracy to rebel. Xiao Yun agreed. That was a traitor, and everyone had to kill him.”

With a word from the Empress, she summoned all the ministers into the palace and made them the emperor’s personal assistant ministers.

Everyone looked down and had no objections. Clearly, they agreed with the Empress’s words.

“The emperor has passed away, and the crown prince will immediately succeed the throne!”Empress Wang decided.

With Wang Lang leading the way, King Jiangxia, King Huaiyang, and Zheng Zhi also knelt down and said,””Long live our emperor.”

The prince was overjoyed.”

Empress Wang said lightly,” Zheng Zhi has passed on the Emperor’s orders. The King of Xin ‘an is to enter the palace immediately to meet the new ruler. If he refuses to accept it, he will be executed on the spot for treason.””

“In addition, send two more teams of people to bring the families of Prince Huaiyang and Prince Jiangxia into the palace. It’s dangerous outside, so it’s better to enter the palace together to avoid it.”

Zheng Zhi took the imperial edict and went out.

Prince Jiang Xia and Prince Huaiyang knew very well that they were not taking their families into the palace to avoid trouble. They were clearly afraid that they would have second thoughts and use this to control them.

Empress Wang was just a woman, but no matter if it was scheming or shrewdness, she was not someone ordinary people could compare to.

“.. Finally, Empress Wang looked at the Prince of Huaiyang’s big fat face. There was too much flesh on his face, and his eyes were too small to see what kind of expression he had. “I’ll have to trouble Little Uncle to make a trip outside the city and take over the guards outside the city. In order to support the palace and suppress the rebellion.”

“I accept your orders.” The King of Huaiyang cupped his hands.

The few of them had a good discussion, but they did not know that the weather outside had already changed.

After the Prince of Huaiyang left the palace, he was sealed by Sikong Xiao without even leaving the city.

Sikong Xiao was in charge of the capital’s guards. He knew that Emperor Yu Heng had already moved his men into the city when he died and sealed off all the gates.

” I’m following the emperor’s orders-”

“Didn’t the emperor get killed by Empress Wang? I wonder which emperor’s decree did the king receive?”The general guarding the city was on guard. He pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, as if he was ready to draw his sword and slash at anyone who did not agree.

King Huai Yang was shocked.. Was Xiao Yun trying to rebel?
