Chapter 697 (1/2)

Marquis Wu was ordered to hunt down those disorderly officials and thieves, but he claimed to suppress the bandits. This reason is really icing on the cake. Now all the officials and families in the whole imperial city are in danger. Even the dandies don't go to the streets to find fault.

”Hey, now everyone outside is shouting that there are bandits in the East. In fact, who doesn't know? Those people of the great prince's school are going to suffer.”

”Yes, just these days, those people killed at the entrance of the vegetable market are all on the side of the big prince.”

”Now the trees are falling and the monkeys are scattered. As soon as the great prince dies, your majesty has killed so many people regardless of the feelings of kings and ministers.”

”Don't talk nonsense, your majesty. You are worried that the eldest prince will be very lonely under the nine springs. Only in this way can those officials who have a good relationship with him go down to bury him.”

”Yes, the royal family has always been like this. Sometimes when the emperor dies, he will bury all his concubines. Therefore, it's better to be the main room. You can't be a concubine, otherwise you will be buried.”

Listening to those people in the tavern talking about the Grand Prince, Tian Yuqiao, dressed as a man, was speechless. Because she also received a secret order, that is, to let her bury all the concubines of the Grand Prince.

The two children, who were just three years old, were handed over by the emperor to the Empress Dowager.

Tian Yuqiao wanted to say that she didn't like killing, but the emperor had made an order. If she didn't accept it, it would be regarded as resistance and disrespect. Maybe their whole family should be buried with the eldest prince, which would be too uneconomical.

Although those women are poor, they seem insignificant compared with their own lives.

When she took Xiaoyu back from the market, she saw Prince Jing, who had disappeared for many days, sitting in her living room, drinking tea with his legs crossed.

”Lord, my father is not at home. During this time, he has received many invitations and needs to say goodbye to everyone.” Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.

”Hahaha, girl Qiao, I'm not looking for your father, but for you. He's leaving for the northwest, and you're going back to your hometown.”

Tian Yuqiao frowned and asked, ”Oh? So your majesty doesn't need me to arrange a funeral for the eldest prince? That's really great.”

Seeing Tian Yuqiao's complacency, Prince Jing still said, ”Hey, your majesty asked me to accompany you back to the mountain village, and repaired the tomb of the eldest prince next to the tomb of the twelfth prince, and the position is lower than that of the twelfth prince.”

When Tian Yuqiao heard the speech, he immediately exclaimed, ”it shouldn't be! It's reasonable to say that the great prince is higher than the twelve princes in terms of age and status. There's no reason to bury his brother in his brother's hands. It's unreasonable.”

Prince Jing smiled bitterly and said, ”there's no way. The Grand Prince secretly colluded with Hu leader Ba Ji in an attempt to usurp the throne of Mou Dynasty. His majesty knew it when he was very weak. Moreover, he even asked me to discuss it with the old thing of marquis Wu ~”

Tian Yuqiao immediately understood that the emperor's ambition for his son had been known for a long time. The reason why he didn't kill his son himself may also be because he felt that he would die soon and that other sons were still young.

Now the old emperor's body and bones are much better than before, especially when he comes to Tian Yuqiao to rub rice every three or five times, so his body is even better.

Now that he is old and strong, he plans to sit in this high position for another three or five years.
