Chapter 763 The Saint is Cruel and Merciless (XVIII)
The accusations of patricide were overwhelming, and Shen Hechang had no choice but to lock those people up. He could not prove that Zhuang Xingwei was not his man that day.
In fact, many ministers did not believe that a woman like Princess Wuyang could have such high martial arts skills. There was no one in the entire court who could compete with her. They believed that this person was someone the prince found in the martial arts world.
Shen Hechang hadn't slept well for several days. He couldn't fall asleep without lighting the calming incense made for him by Ruan Xin. After waking up, he was too worried and sleep didn't allow him to get a good rest.
And his worries were not unnecessary, because the night before he ascended the throne, someone forced him to abdicate.
Shen Tiaotiao woke up from her dream and opened the bed curtains.
"Someone, come here, why is there such a noise outside?" "Princess, I don't know either. I'll send someone to find out right away."
"Go, go, go!"
Shen Tiaotiao quickly put on her clothes. She felt that the sound sounded like the sound of war!
"Oh no, Princess, Prince De is rebelling!"
"what!"
Shen Tiaotiao clutched the maid's shoulders, in disbelief. In her impression, Prince De was mediocre and cowardly, always suppressed by her father. How could he dare to rebel? And in the novel, Prince De didn't rebel!
"Hurry up and have the palace gates locked! Increase patrols and don't let the rebels break into my palace!"
She quickly ordered her servants, she didn't want to die!
Shen Tiaotiao stood on the high platform. This was a two-story building built by the imperial concubine for her daughter. It was unique in the palace.
She could vaguely see the fire and fighting sounds of the previous dynasty. She prayed silently in her heart that the prince must not lose, otherwise she would be miserable. She did not think that Prince De would let her, the annoying princess, go after he ascended the throne. Maybe her marriage with Duan Jingwu would end in her becoming Prince De's daughter. If Prince De was cruel, she might be forced to hang herself.
She sat on the second floor, staring into the distance with wide eyes and listening hard with ears. When a red light appeared in the distant sky, the palace returned to silence.
Fortunately, Shen Tiaotiao was able to continue to be the princess as she wished.
After a night of fighting, the palace was littered with corpses, and the palace servants carefully cleaned the palace paths.
This forced abdication ended with Prince De committing suicide. His property was confiscated, and some of his family members were beheaded, some were imprisoned, and some were exiled. The victors were the kings and the losers were the bandits. Overnight, the power in the imperial city was reshuffled, and several families disappeared from the imperial city.
The crown prince's coronation ceremony could not be held as scheduled, so the Imperial Astronomical Observatory recalculated a good date, which was half a month later. Shen Tiaotiao met with the Empress and learned some details. The Empress was now quite gentle with her, a concubine princess, and praised Duan Jingwu again and again.
Duan Jingwu led his subordinates into the palace to rescue the emperor last night. At that time, Prince De had pointed his sword at the crown prince, and the crown prince almost died. Fortunately, Duan Jingwu arrived in time, stabbed Prince De, and saved the crown prince.
Duan Jingwu asked the prince to punish him for the crime of bringing troops into the palace without permission, but Duan Jingwu entered the palace to save him, so the prince naturally did not hold Duan Jingwu responsible. Instead, he rewarded Duan Jingwu. Now Duan Jingwu is a third-rank general.
The Queen also mentioned one thing: Duan Jingwu begged the Prince to advance his marriage to Shen Tiaotiao.
Perhaps it was because of Emperor Shen Kang's health. If Shen Kang could not survive until next year, their marriage would have to be postponed.
"I and the Crown Prince have already promised General Duan that after the Crown Prince ascends the throne, there will be an auspicious day in a month for the wedding. Don't worry, Tiao'er. Although it is a bit rushed, the Ministry of Rites will take care of it carefully and will not let you down." Shen Tiaotiao blushed and expressed her willingness.
In the Lianyi Pavilion, Mingli was a little disappointed. Prince De was defeated too easily. Duan Jingwu was also treacherous. He instigated Prince De to rebel and then came to rescue him to gain the trust of the prince.
However, she took a look at the papers in her hand and realized that she had something on Duan Jingwu. These letters showed that Duan Jingwu had bad intentions and was instigating internal strife within the royal family. However, these charges were not enough to warrant a confiscation of property.
Suddenly, she thought of the news she had received that Yun State's Prince Yun Qi had come to Shen State and seemed to be about to arrive at the imperial city.
