In the middle of the night, Qian Danqing was awakened by the sound of the funeral bell from the palace.
"What is that sound?" He was a little unsure, thinking that he had heard wrongly. This was the sound of the death knell.
"Master, the Emperor has passed away." A servant outside reported.
Beitang Yu died? When he came out from the Palace, Beitang Yu was still fine, how could he suddenly die?
Qian Danqing suddenly sobered up and pushed the door open. "What did you say? The Emperor has passed away? "
"Yes, the old master has already entered the palace," the servant said.
He was really dead! Qian Danqing's face was gloomy. She immediately changed her clothes and entered the palace.
One didn't need to think to know who killed Beitang Yu. Beitang Xuanyang didn't even have time to endure. He had just left the Imperial Palace, but he actually killed Beitang Yu.
That was his biological father, yet he could do it.
Qian Danqing entered the palace as fast as she could. At this time, the palace was already covered in mourning clothes. Ironically, at this time, the palace seemed to have vitality, no longer as lifeless as before.
"Big Brother, you're here. The Emperor, he … …" Imperial Consort Qian had changed into a pink dress and was wearing a mourning dress. She was giving orders to the palace servants in the main hall. When she saw Qian Danqing, she took a few steps forward.
"Where's the Crown Prince?" Qian Danqing asked with an ashen face.
Imperial Concubine Qian froze for a moment, then immediately understood that Qian Danqing must know how Beitang Yu died, "Big brother, the Crown Prince is busy with the emperor's funeral."
"I'll go find him," Qian Danqing said.
"Big brother!" Noble Consort Qian stopped him and said in a low voice, "Since the Emperor has passed away, don't cause any more trouble."
Qian Danqing glared at her. "Cause trouble? Imperial Consort, what do you think I will say to the Crown Prince? You know very well that His Majesty won't die for no reason. "
"No matter what the reason is, it's not much different from what we wanted before," Noble Consort Qian said. She waved her hand to dismiss all the servants in the hall.
"No difference?" Qian Danqing looked coldly at Imperial Consort Qian, "Killing the Emperor and killing one's father, is this a small matter in the eyes of the Imperial Consort?"
Imperial Consort Qian said, "I know it's not a small matter, but what can I do? Are you going to tell the world? Big brother, that's your nephew. "
"It's because he's my nephew that I feel disappointed!" Qian Danqing's face was cold. "A person who doesn't even spare his own father, will he treat us well in the future? Your Highness, don't you think that the Crown Prince is a completely different person now? "
"In the past, the Crown Prince was too weak. After killing enemies on the battlefield, he became manly. Didn't you say that he didn't have any courage?" Imperial Concubine Qian said.
"Being courageous doesn't mean that you have to be resolute and ruthless. He killed his own father!" Qian Danqing said angrily.
Imperial Consort Qian's expression changed. She shouted at Qian Danqing, "Big Brother! Who saw it? That's just your speculation. Can't it be an assassin? "
"Where is the assassin?" Qian Danqing asked. "It's him! Today, he threatened to kill His Majesty. I thought that I had persuaded him, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't give up. When was he ever so vicious and merciless in the past? Your Highness, don't you think that the current Crown Prince has become too terrifying? "
"No matter how terrifying he is, he is still my son, your nephew. Do you want to see him die?" Imperial Consort Qian asked. "Do you want to help Wang Junchai? After so many years, you still haven't given up on her."
Qian Danqing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He really had the intention to kill. Beitang Xuanyang couldn't be left alive, but if this person became the Emperor of the Dark North Kingdom, it would really be a misfortune for the world.
He actually taught such a son of a wolf.
"If I want to help the Empress, can you still be an Imperial Consort?" Qian Danqing asked in a deep voice.
"If that's the case …" Imperial Consort Qian lowered her voice. "Then forgive Xuan Yang this once. Just pretend that you don't know, okay?"
She knew that Beitang Yu was killed by Beitang Xuanyang. At night, she wanted to see Beitang Yu, but she happened to hear the father and son quarreling. Beitang Yu said that Xuan Yang wasn't his son, but a monster that came from nowhere. Then, she didn't hear any more voices inside.
After a while, Beitang Xuanyang walked out expressionlessly. His face was like a spring breeze, as if he had settled a burden on his mind. He seemed to be in a good mood.
She went in to take a look and almost screamed. Her son's happy expression had been lingering in her mind, entangled with Beitang Yu's death.
"I know that Xuan Yang has changed, but what can I do?" Imperial Consort Qian's eyes were red. "Even a vicious tiger doesn't eat its cubs. Can I say it out loud?"
If people knew that Beitang Yu was killed by the Crown Prince, what would happen to the Crown Prince? She didn't dare to think about it.
Qian Danqing looked at Imperial Consort Qian with grief. "Do you think he will treat you well by indulging him like this?"
"I have already told him that after he ascends the throne, he must make you the Regent. At that time, you must cooperate with the Cabinet Ministers to suppress him and let him return to his original temperament. When he wakes up, then … then give him the power." Imperial Consort Qian looked at Qian Danqing almost pleadingly.
"Consort, have you thought it through?" Qian Danqing asked.
"I can't be clearer!" Imperial Consort Qian said that she would rather use this method to teach her son than hand over the throne to Wang Junchai.
If the First Prince was still alive, Wang Junchai would definitely not let it go.
Qian Danqing nodded lightly. "Alright, I understand."
"Then when you see the Crown Prince … don't say anything," Imperial Consort Qian said.
"Where is the Crown Prince?" Qian Danqing asked in a low voice.
Imperial Consort Qian said, "At Yangxin Palace Hall."
Beitang Xuanyang did not set up Yangxin Palace Hall to prepare for the funeral. He was discussing with the Cabinet Ministers and Qian Xiyu about the ascension.
"Your Highness, according to the ancestral rules, you can only officially ascend the throne after sending the late Emperor's coffin into the Imperial Mausoleum. However, you are the Crown Prince and now the Emperor of the Dark North Kingdom. You can change it if you want," a minister said.
"I want to ascend the throne as soon as possible," Beitang Xuanyang said.
Qian Xiyu said, "Your Majesty, the late Emperor passed away on his way back from the Jin Kingdom. In order to avoid suspicion, it is best to be more cautious."
"Suspicion?" Beitang Xuanyang looked up at Qian Xiyu. "What suspicion would others have? Father was tortured in the Jin Kingdom and was seriously ill all the way without any care. He died as soon as he returned to the palace. Who would have any doubts?"
He had seen Beitang Yu and knew that the truth was not like what Beitang Xuanyang said. However, Qian Xiyu did not say anything. "Your Majesty is right."
Since Beitang Yu was dead, it was a fact that Beitang Xuanyang had become the new Emperor. He would not make Beitang Xuanyang unhappy at this time.
"Since no one has any objections, then let's do it." Beitang Xuanyang finally smiled.
He asked everyone to leave and was about to sleep when a palace servant came to pass on a message that Qian Danqing had come.
Beitang Xuanyang's eyes darkened and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
