My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 937-Asking a Tiger for Its Skin

The malevolent faces in front of Empress Xiao also felt a little scared. They were all relatives of the imperial family. She didn’t have any real power in her hands. It was impossible for her to really give the order to kill without mercy. If she dared to give the order, those guards would also dare to kill.

King Jiang Xia had served four generations of emperors. Who knew what kind of network he had hidden behind the scenes? If she was not careful, the emperor’s death could be blamed on her.

To be able to unknowingly kill the Emperor in Taiji Palace, Empress Xiao felt her hair stand on end just thinking about it. She was also afraid that she would accidentally fall into the trap.

As a result, after seeing Emperor Yong Ping’s corpse, he did not dare to drink a single drop of water. Now, his mouth was dry and his temples were throbbing in pain. The hateful Xie Xian had left all this to her to handle. No matter what, it was a job that offended people.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm. Empress Xiao turned her head and saw that it was the hibiscus that Xie Xian had brought into the palace.

Empress Xiao had lived in the Xie Manor for almost a year, and she was Xiao Baoxin’s daily meal friend. Naturally, she was not familiar with the maids beside her, nicknamed the Four Great Fighters. It was impossible to ignore them even if one wanted to. They were like door gods.

Although he was dressed as a woman, it was still obvious that he was not a man. He looked like a young eunuch with delicate features in the palace and was not eye-catching.

“General Wei said to invite the Jiang Xia Prince and a few others into the emperor’s bedroom.”

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito. If one didn’t stare at Hibiscus ‘mouth, one wouldn’t be able to tell that she was talking. Moreover, the scene was so noisy that no one would be able to hear you if you were to speak normally.

It could be seen how cautious Mu Jin was.

Empress Xiao nodded slightly. It seemed that Xie Xian’s side had been settled.

“Granduncle, where is King Jiang Xia?” Empress Xiao raised her voice slightly, not suppressing the chaotic scene.

Zhuge Shu, who had appeared out of nowhere, stepped forward and said in a loud voice,”Where is Jiang Xia King?”

Prince Jiang Xia took a step forward.

Empress Xiao then called out to the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng, the King of Yuzhang.

“Please follow me into the palace to meet the king.”

Xiao Baoshu took a step forward but was stopped by Zhuge Shu.”The Empress only announced the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng.”

Seeing that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was in a daze, the King of Yuzhang supported her and followed Empress Xiao and the King of Jiangxia into the West Hall of Taiji Palace.

It was finally quiet outside the West Hall.

In just a blink of an eye, he heard the Eldest Princess of Xuan City wailing and calling out for her Imperial Brother.

Everyone knew that the emperor was gone.

Immediately after, Duo Fu, who was beside Emperor Yong Ping, personally went to the door of the West Hall to deliver the decree.

“The emperor has passed away!”

The crows knelt on the ground. Not long after, there were already young ladies who had not seen the world and began to cry. Accompanied by the Eldest Princess ‘sobbing and complaining cries, they gradually began to cry.

“Your Majesty, he has passed away.” General Yang heard it clearly in the East Hall and spilled half of the tea in his hand.

Princess Kang Le’s face turned pale. She didn’t want to get whatever she wanted.

Most of the people had followed the crowd to the West Hall, and there were only four or five people in the East Hall.

General Yang’s words were not suppressed and everyone heard it. Everyone looked at each other and could only rush to the West Hall to kneel and cry.

The eldest princess of Xuancheng cried until she fainted. Empress Xiao hurriedly called the imperial physician over to treat her until the eldest princess of Xuancheng was settled down. Whether it was the King of Yuzhang or the King of Jiangxia, the few people in the room had already adjusted their condition.

Prince Jiang Xia glanced at Xie Xian.

“When did Pushe arrive? Why didn’t you inform us immediately? After all, we are all relatives of the Imperial Family…Who are you hiding it from? Is there a need to hide it from us?”

Empress Xiao combed her hair, her face sorrowful.

“It’s me. I asked someone to summon Xie Pushe into the palace…The Emperor had already made it clear that if there was a sudden change, he would immediately invite Xie Pushe into the palace to preside over the situation.”

King Jiang Xia: ” Forgive me for being blunt, but Your Majesty and Xie Pushe are related by marriage. I don’t really believe this. Even if the Emperor doesn’t trust us, how could he not trust his own brother, the King of Yuzhang? The emperor is in his prime, how could he announce such an unlucky thing?”

Others might not know, but who present did not know that Emperor Yong Ping was extremely afraid of death. How could he still be able to settle the matters after his death in a stable manner?

He wanted to live a peaceful life and not let anyone threaten his safety.

If he really thought about it after he died…He could scare himself to death!

“And when did Xie Pushe enter the palace? Why did he not appear for a long time and only appeared just now?”Prince Jiang Xia looked at Empress Xiao.”

“Niangniang, when did you know that the emperor had passed away?”

The King of Yuzhang said,”Should we arrange for people to restrain Imperial Brother first and spread him out on the dragon bed like this?” If others see it, what will happen?”

“That’s right.” “I’ve already summoned the Minister of Rites into the palace and asked him to do it.” Empress Xiao said softly.”

“A country cannot live without a ruler.” Jiang Xia King said,” This should be on the agenda. “If there is a direct heir, there will be a direct heir. If there is no direct heir, there will be an elder. However, no matter if it’s a direct heir or an elder, the children are young. The oldest is only three years old. What do they know…”

“In my opinion, it’s better to die for your brother.”

King Yuzhang looked at King Jiangxia in surprise.

Duo Fu fell to the ground with a thud, tears streaming down his face.”Reporting to Niangniang, the two Great Kings and General Wei, the Emperor has always been cautious and worried since the last time he used too much medicine.”

The King of Yuzhang did not say anything.

Instead, it was King Jiang Xia who narrowed his eyes.”I’ve never heard the emperor mention about it”

“Recently, the emperor…” Duo Fu trembled as he kowtowed to the ground, not daring to raise his head. Actually, this matter was true. He was also guarding against you, King Jiang Xia. Why were you pretending to be ignorant?

“That’s why I have such a plan.”

“How did the Emperor arrange it?” Empress Xiao hurriedly said,”Hurry up and tell me the truth.””

“The posthumous edict is placed behind the signboard in the main hall of Taiji Palace.”Duo Fu said.

“When did you release it?” Such a tall board couldn’t have been placed there by the Emperor himself, so who placed it there? Did that person know that it was a posthumous edict?”

Duo Fu wiped his sweat. Although lying in front of Emperor Yong Ping’s corpse should be considered as deceiving the emperor, the emperor was already dead. His little life still had to continue. So what if he bullied him?

“Yes, yes, it’s the valiant cavalry general Zhuge Shu.”

“Oh, so you’re Xie Pushe’s brother-in-law.” Jiang Xia King sneered.”

“The general of the cavalry is skilled in martial arts and is loyal. He is highly valued by the emperor…”

One sentence after another, they struck at King Jiang Xia. If the Emperor didn’t believe in anyone, then it was him!

“When did the Emperor pass away, how did he pass away, the Empress had many secrets to hide, how could anyone believe what happened after that?”King Jiang Jiang Xia did not believe a single word.

“The Emperor is the Emperor of Daliang, not someone who wants to use his power for personal gain!”

During this time, Xie Xian did not say a single word.

Empress Xiao slammed the table. The Emperor’s corpse hasn’t even cooled, and you’re relying on the Imperial Family’s Zong Zheng to bully me?!”

“Look, the Empress has Xie Pushe, Xie Pushe has Zhuge Shu, Xiao Baoshu, and Duo Fu…” River Summer King glanced meaningfully at Duo Fu, who was trembling in fear on the ground. He had misjudged and did not think that Duo Fu was actually Xie Xian’s man.

“How can there be any benefit in asking a tiger for its skin?”
