The rebels brought by King Ma were also captured by the Imperial Army who had been ambushing outside the palace for a long time.

Xiao Jin dragged Ma Wang's body out of the inner hall with a heavy face, "The emperor and the queen mother were killed by Ma Wang."

As soon as Xiao Jin finished speaking, everyone in the yard was too shocked to speak.

The chief executive staggered into the inner hall, but after a while, his mournful wailing came from inside.

"The emperor passed away, and the queen mother passed away."

Emperor Kang Ze and the Queen Mother were killed by the rebel King Ma, and all the officials mourned.

At dawn, people in the palace began to prepare white flags, and the mourning hall was also erected.

It was during breakfast that Su Ying found out what happened last night.

"died?"

"Yes, the emperor, the queen mother, and the king of horses are all gone."

Su Ying was a little surprised, did he die too fast? It was quite sudden. Didn't Ma Wang have already escaped?

Su Ying couldn't understand.

Su Ying didn't understand, and Bai Shuang didn't understand even more.

"The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are dead, and the Crown Princess and the young princes will all have to enter the palace in a while."

"Oh, I see."

After eating, Su Ying and the two treasures changed into mourning clothes and went to the palace.

Civil and military officials who got the news also came to the palace to attend the funeral.

When Su Ying and the others arrived, there were already many people inside and outside the mourning hall, and all of them had mournful expressions on their faces.

Xiao Jin knelt on the futon in the mourning hall and returned salutes to those who came to worship.

Su Ying looked at the two coffins in the mourning hall and walked in with two treasures.

Seeing Su Ying coming, Xiao Jin got up and took them to kneel beside him.

Su Ying didn't ask any more questions, but just threw the incense paper into the brazier without interest.

According to the rules, the coffin had to be suspended for seven days before being sent to the imperial mausoleum.

"Make a show on the first day, and take the children to rest later." Xiao Jin whispered in her ear.

Su Ying wasn't tired, but felt that the incense burnt her eyes a bit.

It was the royal family and nobles who first came to worship, and then came the civil and military officials.

When the royal family and nobles came in to worship, a thin figure suddenly rushed in and pointed at Xiao Jin and cursed, "You don't have to be hypocritical here, you were the one who killed the emperor father and the emperor's grandmother, but you framed it to the head of Ma Wang Come on, you are the real traitor!"

Su Ying looked up at the person who came, and saw that he was only in his early twelve or thirteen years old, with bright red eyes, and was still wearing the mourning clothes of a filial son.

This person is the third prince Xiao Li.

There are many concubines in Emperor Kangze's harem, but there are not many heirs, and it's not that they can't have children, but few of them can live to adulthood after they are born, especially sons.

Apart from Xiao Jue and Xiao Jin, Xiao Li in front of him is the oldest.

He was born of Concubine De, his maternal grandfather was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and his ancestor was the Marquis of Bo'an, but the title was confiscated in the generation of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. There are not many real powers in the central government that can be touched, and Xiao Li is still young, so even when Xiao Jin was exiled, Xiao Li was not the best candidate for the heir apparent in the minds of all the ministers.

Su Ying glanced at Concubine De who was following closely behind her. She walked into the hall with a sad face and held Xiao Li back sobbing, "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and kneel down to apologize to the prince."

Xiao Li poked his neck and said: "What I said is true, why should I apologize? He is the one who killed the emperor and grandmother. He is the traitor, the traitor."

Xiao Jin stood up from the futon with a cold expression, and walked to Xiao Li step by step.

It might be that Xiao Jin's aura was too strong, Xiao Li took several steps back in fear.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Jin said coldly: "Slandering the prince is a felony, but I will let you go because of brotherhood, but an elder brother is like a father, if you don't let you have a long memory, you can't sue the emperor's spirit in heaven."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jin raised his hand and slapped Xiao Li's face hard.

In front of Xiao Jin, Xiao Li was like a quail that didn't open wide. He slapped his face, and Xiao Li fell to the ground with a crooked body.

"Emperor!" Concubine De exclaimed, she was so frightened that she knelt and climbed forward to hug Xiao Li.

"Calm down the prince, calm down the prince, the emperor doesn't have many heirs, now the prince only has two brothers, the third prince and the fourth prince, please let the prince let them go."

As soon as Concubine De concubine said these words, the ambiguity became even greater. It seemed to others that Xiao Jin was going to kill them. If there was something wrong with them in the future, wouldn't it be Xiao Jin who came to blame?

Xiao Jin said coldly: "Concubine De and the third prince are going to rebel?"

Concubine De's face changed, "What does the prince mean by this? This is clearly slander."

"Then what is the basis for the third prince to say that the emperor was killed by this palace? You slander this palace just to give yourself a legitimate reason when you rebel in the future. I didn't expect Concubine De to have such an ambition. People, take Concubine De and the Third Prince down, and no one is allowed to let them out until this palace finds out that they were wronged."

With Xiao Jin's order, the imperial guards stepped forward one after another and set up the mother and son.

Xiao Li came back to his senses and struggled to get rid of the shackles of the imperial army.

"What are you doing, let me go, let me go!"

Xiao Jin waved his hand directly, and the forbidden army directly blocked the mouths of the two of them and dragged them down.

This scene made everyone present shudder, thinking that the actions of the concubine De and her son were too stupid. Xiao Jin is the crown prince proclaimed by the emperor, and he will inherit the grand ceremony in a short time. They actually ran out at this time to offend others. This is not courting what death is.

This episode didn't change anything, Xiao Jin asked Su Ying to take the two treasures to the side hall for a rest around noon.

After kneeling all morning, Su Ying felt her back was stiff.

"Are you tired?" Xiao Jin's warm palm fell to her waist, rubbing gently.

"We're going to kneel until the funeral?"

"After today, just use the excuse that you are not feeling well and stay in the palace."

"Well, what happened last night? Why did King Ma fall so quickly?"

After the maid came up with lunch, Xiao Jin made everyone retreat.

"Before, he had been hiding in the palace, in the empress dowager's bedroom. He didn't want to leave, because he didn't want to miss this opportunity to directly kill the emperor, so I had someone secretly guard the empress dowager's palace early in the morning."

"you know?"

Xiao Jin nodded. He didn't really go to the theater that night when the palace changed. He kept people watching Ma Wang and his son secretly. That night Sima Chen fled outside the palace and lost his people, but Ma Wang is always in the palace.

But he thought Ma Wang would at least wait a little longer, after all the soldiers and horses from Ma Wang City hadn't arrived yet.

"So careless?" Su Ying felt that it was not stupid for Ma Wang to get to where he is now, and what he did this time was too reckless.

"En." Maybe it has something to do with the news he released that Emperor Kang Ze was not injured and his life was not in danger.

Ma Wang, he really hates Emperor Kang Ze, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the risk.
