The next morning, the Queen received news from Li Lianchi that her Shi Jinchen had died.

"Is that true? Is the news true?" The Queen couldn't believe that Shi Jinchen was dead just like that.

Li Lianchi smiled and said to the Empress, "The Empress's news is absolutely true. Early this morning, the steward of the Duke's Mansion found out that Shi Jinchen died in Ke Yuehua's room. He was poisoned.

"Ha ha-ha ha, the heavens have eyes, that little bastard is finally dead." The empress threw her head back and laughed. "The heavens are helping me, too. My plan is about to come true, hahaha."

"Congratulations, esteemed Empress. Congratulations, esteemed wangfei." Li Lianchi congratulated the Queen.

The empress was done laughing, but quickly recovered from her happiness. "Do you know who did it?"

"This old servant was just about to tell you. It's Ke Yuehua." Lee said excitedly.

"Ke Yuehua? Isn't she the fiancée of Shi Jinchen? " The empress was puzzled.

This morning, Butler Li called Shi Jinchen to wake him up. He found out that Shi Jinchen was in Ke Yuehua's room, and Shi Jinchen was lying on his bed, and when he found out, he was already dead. Ke Yuehua was also gone, and the three words "broken sword cliff" were written on the wall of the room.

"This old servant only found out this morning that Ke Yuehua is a person, and that person is the adopted daughter of the crown prince." The Crown Prince that Li Lianchi was talking about was Ke Zheng.

"You said that Ke Yuehua is Big Brother's adopted daughter, and all of this was arranged by Big Brother?" The empress felt that the most reliable person was still her brother.

Li Lianchi said, "Yes."

"Immediately order, seal off the news of Shi Jinchen's death. Do not leak it out." The Queen decided to press the news of Shi Jinchen's death to prevent it from causing panic among the court officials.

"Okay." Just as Li Lianchi was about to leave, the empress stopped him.

"The servants of the Fourth Prince's Estate are all being placed under house arrest, and there is no loss of Shi Jinchen. To announce that someone's Shi Jinchen is ill, and that they are on leave from court. " The empress added a few more instructions.

Li Lianchi immediately went down to deal with the matter.

They said that Ke Yuehua and Jian Qiuying have already reached outside the capital to meet up with the inn and Ke Zheng, and at this moment, Ke Zheng has already received a message from the empress.

"Yuehua, well done." Ke Zheng said while smiling in satisfaction.

Ke Yuehua clenched his fists, and said with a hoarse voice: "Then can you release my little brother?"

Unexpectedly, Ke Zheng patted on Ke Yuehua's shoulder, and said: "This matter is not urgent, Father still needs you to complete one last thing, after that, I'll send you two siblings back together, and leave broken sword cliff."

Ke Yuehua roared loudly: "Despicable."

Ke Yuehua could no longer calm down, "You clearly said before that you were going to let me and my younger brother go after this matter was completed."

Ke Yuehua wanted to argue with Ke Zheng, but was stopped by Jian Qiuying, and said: "Yue Hua, calm down a little."

His Ke Yuehua was blocked by his Jian Qiuying, and he gradually regained his senses, saying: "Just what do you need me to do, for you to be able to let go of my brother and me."

Ke Zheng was very satisfied with Ke Yuehua's reaction. This meant that Ke Yuehua had truly killed Shi Jinchen, and her little brother's weakness was truly very useful. As long as his little brother had it in his hands, he wouldn't be afraid of Ke Yuehua betraying him.

Ke Zheng said: "I have already gathered the people from the broken sword cliff. A week later, I will need you and Qin Yu to lead them to occupy the palace city."

"Take over the palace?" Ke Yuehua was in disbelief, "Although our martial arts are profound, the imperial guards are not weak either."

Ke Zheng deliberately made a mysterious smile, and said: "Don't worry, that day, someone will naturally bring you in."

Ke Yuehua helplessly accepted Ke Zheng's order, and before going out he said: "You must promise, after this matter, you must let my little brother out."

"Don't worry, I will keep my word." Ke Zheng smiled as he comforted Ke Yuehua.

Ke Yuehua s returned to his room. Looking around, he discovered that there was no one listening in.

"Yue Hua, your acting skills just now were exceptional, especially that last sentence before you left, which completely set Ke Zheng at ease." Jian Qiuying s thought of every single glance, action, and words they had inside the Ke Zheng room.

Ke Yuehua has always been suspicious. If I were to reveal even the slightest bit of a flaw, we wouldn't be able to walk out of that room. "

They felt that something was wrong as soon as they entered the room. There were secret guards surrounding them and they were waiting for the order to capture the two of them.

"If there's nothing else, we can only wait for a week. Fortunately, we left Jing Yi and Late Autumn in the Duke Palaces, so it's still very dangerous to follow us." Jian Qiuying said.

"Yeah." Luckily, before leaving, Autumn Shadow had proposed to keep the two of them here.

Jian Qiuying suddenly looked at Ke Yuehua's face and said: "Yue Hua, ever since you were together with Shi Jinchen, the smile on your face has become more and more, more and more like a little girl, not so mature anymore. There's joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. "

When Ke Yuehua heard these words, he was stunned for a moment. Thinking back to the little bits and pieces he had with Shi Jinchen, it was exactly as Jian Qiuying said, becoming more and more lively and childish.

"Because he really loves me. He dotes on me and regards me more important than himself." Her face was filled with sweetness while she was immersed in the love of Shi Jinchen.

Jian Qiuying looked at Ke Yuehua with gratification, "I am truly happy for you. After this is over, I will definitely drink a cup with Shi Jinchen."

Ke Yuehua nodded happily, "Okay, I will not leave until I'm drunk."

Just like that, four days passed peacefully, just like the omens of a storm.

On this day, Ke Yuehua routinely gathered subordinates and drilled them. Suddenly, Ke Zheng arrived at the training field, and told her to bring 3000 people with her and Qin Yu to the outskirts of the capital to camp, and to attack the capital after receiving the order on the second day.

Ke Yuehua knew that this meant that the emperor had passed away.

Sure enough, all the palaces within the palace kneeled down, waiting for the imperial physician to announce the death of the emperor. Suddenly, wails of grief rose from the palaces as they fought to cry even more sorrowfully.

The crown prince, the second prince, and the seventh prince all knelt before the collapse of the Cheng Gan Palace. The emperor had already changed into dragon robes.

The empress pretended to cry a few times before wiping away her tears. She stood up sorrowfully and said, "I know that all of you are very sad, but we cannot afford to lose our country for a single day. The imperial funeral of the Daxing emperor must also be held."

The officials, concubines, and princes kneeling below all echoed her words. "Empress is right. The country must not be left without a ruler, and a new ruler should be established as soon as possible."

The empress bent over and helped the crown prince up, saying, "The crown prince's Shi Jinhan was personally conferred by the late emperor, he shall be the new ruler."

After saying that, the Queen glanced at the courtiers and imperial clansmen kneeling in front of her. She said with dignity, "Does anyone have any objections?"

"Just with the Empress' imperial decree."

No one dared to object at this point. It was obvious to everyone that the empress had bribed most of them, and the crown prince's ascension was justified.
