The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 1022: History is Here

With Emperor Zhaowu's firm words, the last bit of hesitation of the four major families was crushed to pieces.

You know, the Minister of Justice is in charge of the case, with a group of eager eunuchs. The files in the Dali Temple are piled higher than people, and all the government offices involved in the case have cancelled their holidays.

Dongyuwei and other shadow guards are also working day and night to increase their efforts to find evidence for the case.

Once the crimes of the four great families are proven, they will all be punishable by death.

The four great families have now shot the arrow with no turning back, especially with the secret instructions from Emperor Zhaowu, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

Gui Sifang suddenly threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and porcelain pieces flew everywhere.

But his eyes were red, and he shouted sternly, "What we are doing today is definitely not a rebellion against the Northern Wing!"

Everyone in the hall held their breath.

He spoke word by word, "History will record that the Holy Emperor forced Emperor Zhaowu to abdicate, intending to overthrow the government!"

He suddenly drew out his sword, the cold light reflecting his sinister brows, "We will send troops to support the king, clear the emperor's side, rectify the government, and protect the northern wing of the country!"

"Serve the King! Served the King!" All the well-dressed people in the room stood up at the same time, and the sound of cups hitting the ground was like the cracking of an ice river.

The tone of serving the king was set, and everyone's hearts were also settled.

Everything is ready, the east wind rises, and the drums of war beat.

Before getting a clear attitude from Emperor Zhaowu, the four great families would not dare to act rashly even if they had made proper arrangements.

Emperor Zhaowu appeared in person tonight, and the east wind came by itself.

The "loyal act to support the king" will take place tonight.

At the wedding of Prince Li, the emperor's carriage never arrived, and the emperor Zhaowu's chariot was nowhere to be seen. But on Zhuque Street, the sedan chairs of civil and military officials were lined up for three miles.

To put it bluntly, the quarrel between the father and son of the royal family was a family affair within the palace. If the emperor was really so angry that he wanted to depose his own son, why would he let the Ministry of Rites issue the imperial seal according to the system of princes?

This truth was clear to all the civil and military officials in the court. So several of the cabinet ministers even competed secretly to see whose gift of jadeite qilin would win the favor of Prince Li.

Therefore, all necessary congratulatory gifts must be prepared, and not a single cup of wedding wine should be missed.

Just tonight——

There were dozens of people missing from the roster of guards at the four gates of the imperial city, and the people on duty at the Suzaku Gate were two newly promoted deputy captains.

The shift change at Xushi started half an hour earlier than usual. The archers who were supposed to be on duty at the corner tower were temporarily transferred to the storehouse to count the ritual vessels for the Li King's ancestral worship tomorrow.

The smell of wine wafted from the patrol camp outside Xihua Gate. The soldiers were all laughing and talking happily, celebrating the wedding of King Qingli.

The spy reported that the poison in the wedding wine had taken effect, and His Royal Highness Prince Li and the Princess were poisoned. The Emperor left the palace late at night, and the Court Envoy Shen was originally giving acupuncture to Liu Gelao, but after hearing the news, he also hurried into Prince Li's mansion.

Gui Sifang stood up suddenly, and the sword tassel moved without wind.

He raised his arms and shouted, "History will be written at this moment! Let's get back to the original source and restore our bright and clear world!"

Lin Wensong's eyes were like lightning, and his voice was like a bell. "Protect the king and quell the national crisis! We swear to defend the North Wing to the death!"

Qin Hongchang looked up at the moon, his sleeves fluttering, "The green mountains are my mirror, the sun and the moon are my witnesses! My heart is only for the country, and my body is dedicated to the people!"

Guo Jindong stood with his hands behind his back, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, "Clear the emperor's entourage, get rid of the treacherous and corrupt officials! Return peace and prosperity to the world!"

The four of them looked at each other solemnly, and suddenly stretched out their hands at the same time, with their palms pressed together, "The breeze and the moon, I can express my heart!"

……

"Stop!" Wei Pingting dragged the wide sleeves of her bright red wedding gown and laughed as she fell into Shi Anxia's arms, her golden hairpins shaking. "You lose! Pighead Nine, quickly learn to bark like a dog!"

His Royal Highness Prince Li, who was also wearing wedding clothes, jumped up in anger, "Pingpingtingting, don't you dare to be shameless! Do you have the guts to fight me with real swords and guns? You are just a puppet, and it is my sister who is behind all the moves!"

"Hehe, everyone is a puppet!" Wei Pingting tilted her head on Shi Anxia's shoulder, her eyebrows dancing with joy, "I am a puppet and I have never been proud of it! But you, Pighead, are so stupid..."

His Royal Highness Prince Li glanced at his little princess with a smile on his face, "Pingpingtingting, do you still want to have fun chasing rabbits on the grassland?"

"I do! I do want to!" The little girl's almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and even the golden hairpin in her hair swayed.

“That’s not pleasing me.” Prince Li raised his chin deliberately, and the black python-patterned waist seal shone with tiny golden lights under the candlelight. “If you bully me again, I’ll leave you counting ants in the palace all by yourself!”

Wei Pingting's face suddenly fell, her cherry lips trembled, her eyes turned red, and she wanted to cry, "I want to go home! I don't want to play anymore, I want to go home. Zhutoujiu, take me home!" As she said that, she reached out to pull the love knot around her waist.

“No, no, no!” Prince Li tried to stop him in a panic, his gilded wristband clanging against the table. “I’ll take you to chase rabbits! I’ll take you there tomorrow! All the rabbits on the grassland will be yours, okay?”

"You said it!" The girl smiled brightly, her dimples sweet enough to make honey. "It's settled then! I want the bunny with the longest ears!"

Shi Anxia leaned against the folding screen with peony branches, and gently stroked the hot steam floating on the teacup with her fingertips. She couldn't help but smile as she watched the two children get married and play house.

In the light of the glass lamp, the newlyweds, one as bouncy as a rabbit and the other as awkward as a young leopard, are more lively than the twin lotus flowers on the table.

Wei Pingting felt that the dress was in the way, so she didn't ask for help and went behind the screen to change her clothes.

"Royal sister." Xiao Jiu suddenly stopped playing with his face, "Do you think the four great families will really rebel tonight?"

The curling tea smoke blurred Shi Anxia's eyebrows and eyes, and only a cold arc was seen at the corner of her lips. She said carefully, "The wedding wine for your wedding was poisoned..."

The wedding wine was poisonous, and after drinking it, Prince Li and his wife collapsed in the bridal chamber.

The emperor could not bear to leave his son and would leave the palace immediately with the palace guards.

Envoy Shen went straight to Prince Li's mansion to explain that the poison had taken effect.

Concubine Lin fainted in the hall from crying, and Prince Li's mansion was in chaos.

"It's the time when the Imperial Guards are changing guards. How could they miss such a godsend opportunity?" Shi Anxia gathered her hair and said calmly, "Wait a little longer. At 12:30 pm, we'll go back to the palace to watch the show."

This place is the Nanshan Palace, not far from Beijing.

"Sister Xia'er!" Wei Pingting suddenly poked her head out from behind the screen. She had removed all the pearls and jade from her hair, and looked quite heroic. "Can I go with you to broaden my horizons?"

Shi Anxia smiled and waved. When the little girl came closer, she reached out and tidied her hair. "Of course I want to take you to see the world." His fingertips paused on the girl's wrist. "But you have to change into a pair of deerskin boots. The palace bricks are splattered with blood, and embroidered shoes are not easy to walk in."

Wei Pingting's eyes suddenly sparkled and her cheeks flushed, like a little fox that had smelled its prey. "Then I have to change into something neat and tidy!" After saying that, she lifted up the hem of her skirt and ran back to the inner room. The belt around her waist jingled and she shouted at the top of her voice, "Wait for me, wait for me, it will be quick..."

Prince Li looked at the scarlet figure that disappeared like a whirlwind and blinked blankly, "She thought she was visiting a temple fair, so she was so happy."

Shi Anxia stroked the edge of the teacup with her fingertips, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "She is now at the age of playing, you should take advantage of the days outside the palace to pamper her more. Otherwise, when she grows up, you can't hold her heart, and she will run away..."
