SFS Chapter 470 Both Brothers Died
Chapter 470 Both Brothers Died
As long as Song Wentian and his daughter stayed in Shengyun Mountain, he would have won.
As for Shengyun Mountain, he will definitely raze it to the ground in the future!
"If you don't want me to take Eunuch Sun away, then I will stay in the capital. I think you should understand how I can stir up trouble."
Thinking of Song Yunxi's threat, Emperor Qinglong felt so angry that his teeth itched. If the time had not come, he would have made sure that ignorant girl would never return.
The most urgent task is to take back all the military power first. As long as the military power is in his own hands, he will no longer be controlled by anyone. He will become the master of Jin'an and the master of the world!
Emperor Qinglong seemed to have already seen the glory of his future when he would reach the pinnacle and hold the entire world in his hands.
He had been patient for most of his life and finally waited for this day!
Emperor Qinglong became more and more unscrupulous in eliminating dissidents. The court was filled with his recently promoted cronies, and it seemed as if he had the final say.
After stabilizing the political situation, Emperor Qinglong was most anxious to resolve the issue of taking back the military power and Ye Xuanqi.
Of course he knew that he couldn't act too hastily in taking back the military power, but he had to get rid of Ye Xuanqi!
He was very clear about how high Ye Xuanqi's prestige was when he was the crown prince. The key was that he himself had outstanding abilities and was highly respected in the army, so as long as Ye Xuanqi was alive, he would never be able to hold the military power in his own hands.
Ye Xuanqi must die!
After becoming the deposed crown prince, Ye Xuanqi was ordered by Emperor Qinglong to leave the Eastern Palace and was imprisoned in the former Prince Chen's Mansion.
Late at night, several men in black sneaked into Prince Chen's mansion and quickly disappeared into the night.
The next morning, crazy screams were heard in Prince Chen's mansion. It was heard that the two guards who were guarding Ye Xuanqi had gone crazy. They bit each other to death, and both of them died in a horrible way.
New guards soon arrived at Prince Chen's Mansion, but their fate was the same as that of the previous guards.
Gradually, the rumor that Ye Xuanqi was deposed as the crown prince and went mad due to imprisonment spread like wildfire. It was also said that the four guards in front and behind were killed by the mad Ye Xuanqi, and that he had bitten their throats to death.
Isn't this a vampire zombie?
People were horrified by the rumor and would rather believe it than not. No one dared to approach Prince Chen's Mansion for fear of being affected.
For the next two days, chilling cries could be heard from Prince Chen's mansion late at night, sounding like ghosts.
There was a brave man who climbed onto the wall to look, but he didn't know what he saw and he fell off the wall and hit his head. When he woke up, he had become a lunatic and whenever he was asked anything, he just shook his head and said he didn't know.
But when someone asked if he had seen a ghost in Prince Chen's mansion, that person screamed in terror: "Ghost Sir, don't bite me... don't drink my blood..."
No matter how much I asked, I couldn't get anything else out of him. He just kept calling me "Mr. Ghost".
As a result, rumors that Ye Xuanqi had gone mad and was biting people and drinking their blood spread everywhere, and even Ye Xuan Ke, who was also imprisoned, heard about it.
"impossible!"
Ye Xuan Ke rushed out like a madman: "My fourth brother would never do such a thing, I want to go to Prince Chen's Mansion!"
He was eager to see his fourth brother, and they couldn't just surrender like this.
That night, Ye Xuanke defeated all the guards who came to stop him, rushed out of the mansion, seized the horse, and galloped all the way to Prince Chen's Mansion.
However, when he arrived, Prince Chen's Mansion was already engulfed in flames, and everything was swallowed up by the fire.
"Fourth brother!"
Ye Xuanke's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed into Prince Chen's Mansion without any regard for his own safety.
However, as soon as he rushed in, Prince Chen's Mansion collapsed.
Not only did Ye Xuanqi, who was locked up inside, not come out, but even Ye Xuanke, who rushed in to rescue people, did not come out either.
The guards from the capital camp and the palace who came to put out the fire saw it with their own eyes. They stayed outside Prince Chen's Mansion until the fire was out, and no one was seen coming out of the Mansion.
After the fire was put out, the guards found two bodies in Prince Chen's mansion. Although their faces were injured by the fire, they could still be clearly identified as Ye Xuanqi and Ye Xuanke.
Emperor Qinglong didn't believe that they would die so easily, so he ordered the guards to carry the two bodies back to the palace, and ordered his confidant who took over Jingzhao Prefecture from Yue Nanqi to perform an autopsy. The result showed that they were indeed the two brothers Ye Xuanqi.
As for Ye Xuanqi, it was confirmed that he had drunk a lot of alcohol before his death.
"Your Majesty, I think he was deposed and imprisoned, so he was depressed and drunk, so he couldn't escape."
After that, he leaned closer to Emperor Qinglong and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty forgot that people who came back these days said that he was drinking every day."
Emperor Qinglong then remembered, and the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared.
What was a secret guard? The death squad he raised was his trump card, and no one could defeat them.
The fire in Prince Chen's mansion was set by the assassins. Even if Ye Xuanqi was not drunk and was sober, there was no way he could escape.
As for the cause of Ye Xuanqi's death, no one would doubt it. After all, assassins had been poisoning the well in Prince Chen's mansion in recent days, and the guards who went crazy and died tragically were because of drinking the well water.
The original target was Ye Xuanqi, in order to create the illusion that he had gone mad and committed suicide, but Ye Xuanqi was too cautious and would test poison on everything he ate. What made Emperor Qinglong even more angry was that Ye Xuanqi actually had an antidote in his hand, so his plan failed.
However, the rumor that there was a ghost in Prince Chen's Mansion was deeply rooted in people's minds, so it would not arouse suspicion if he burned down Prince Chen's Mansion.
Besides, Ye Xuanqi died of drunkenness, so he would not be implicated.
Not only did Ye Xuanqi die, but Ye Xuanke also died. Emperor Qinglong was indescribably happy. He was in such a good mood that he rarely got angry in the court.
However, Ye Xuanqi and Song Wentian, father and daughter, had a deep relationship, and both father and daughter were experts in medical skills. Emperor Qinglong had to consider the possibility of fake death, so he ordered the leader of the death squad to personally bury Ye Xuanqi and his brother.
"Don't bury it, just burn it. Do it yourself and watch it burn clean before you come back."
No matter whether they were truly dead or pretending to be dead, he would never give them a chance to wake up again. Burning them cleanly was the best way.
After the assassins came back to report, Emperor Qinglong finally felt relieved.
Ye Xuanqi died and turned into ashes, and he no longer had to worry about anything. Next, he would start to take back the military power.
Emperor Qinglong wrote a letter, sealed it and gave it to the leader of the death squad: "Send this letter to Northern Chu and make sure it reaches the hands of the Emperor of Northern Chu."
After the death of the Second Prince of Northern Chu, the Emperor of Northern Chu fell ill and was depressed for some time, but recently he has been in good shape, and even suppressed the competition among the princes for the throne with thundering means, and even stripped the Crown Prince of most of his power.
He believed that as long as he joined forces with the Emperor of Northern Chu, he would be able to completely destroy the two children, Yu Ziche and Jiang Yanting, on the border of Northern Chu.
That's right, he wanted them to die and to be the first to withdraw the troops that had been deployed to Northern Chu.
