Chapter 424, The Emperor is Poisoned
At the palace banquet, Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao were both a little absent-minded. When they saw King Yu following the emperor into the main hall, but Ye Lanzhi was nowhere to be seen, they both frowned.
At that time, Fuxin was eating the food and wine on the table calmly, while using up her energy to explore the palace.
Soon, Ye Lanzhi dressed as an **** was found in the cold palace.
Shi Fuxin was a little surprised when she saw Ye Lanzhi talking to the deposed queen mother and deposed empress expressionlessly. Before she could continue to explore, she saw an imperial guard rushing into the hall.
"Your Majesty, General Du from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing just sent a letter from the flying pigeon, saying that traces of Ye Mo were found in the eastern suburbs. General Du wanted to bring Ye Mo back, but he didn't expect that Beidao and Xizhang would The supreme master appeared and directly forced Ye Mo into the mountains."
"General Du doesn't know what to do now, so I would like to ask the emperor for instructions."
The main hall suddenly fell into silence.
The emperor said nothing and had no expression on his face, making it difficult to see any emotion.
The fourth prince looked at Shi Fuxin, Shi Dingxuan, and Shi Dinghao, and saw that the three brothers and sisters had no reaction and looked not very good. At this time, he noticed Dongfang Changqing winking at him.
Seeing Dongfang Changqing looking in the direction of Chu Yao, the fourth prince immediately understood what he meant.
Since the Shi brothers and sisters won't take action, they will be forced to take action.
“Father, Grandmaster Jue is very powerful. Although General Du is powerful, it is best not to face him head-on. He is not as skilled as Commander Chu. Why not let him go and see if he can save Ye Mo?”
Ye Mo alone is not enough for the Shi family brothers and sisters to take risks, what about adding Chu Yao?
Shi Fuxin glanced at the fourth prince, her eyes a little cold.
Chu Yao also knew what the fourth prince was planning, but he couldn't show anything strange at this time. He just turned his attention to the emperor, as if he was completely following orders.
The emperor glanced at the silent brothers and sisters of the Shi family, then looked at Chu Yao and accepted the fourth prince's suggestion: "Then Chu Yao, please go there. Bai Yueguang is Ye Mo's apprentice. If possible, bring him back alive." .”
Chu Yao stood up and responded, glanced at Shi Fuxin, turned around and left.
‘Don’t do anything, just take care of yourself! ’
As soon as he stepped out of the main hall door, Chu Yao's ears suddenly heard Shi Fuxin's voice.
Chu Yao was shocked, but he kept walking and left.
Shi Fuxin watched Chu Yao leave worriedly, but she was just worried and had no other reaction. After that, she ate in a depressed mood.
Even Shi Zhenghe and his wife, Shi Dingxuan and Shi Dinghao only looked worried and showed no intention to follow.
The emperor was sitting on a high throne, having a panoramic view of the reactions of the family members, and the hesitation in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.
He felt that Lao Si was wrong in guessing that the Shi family was Bai Yueguang.
When something happened to Ye Mo, Shi's family didn't panic at all. They seemed sure that nothing would happen to Ye Mo.
The only reason that can explain this is that Bai Yueguang has someone else, and the Shi family knows that Bai Yueguang will save Ye Mo!
Bai Yueguang is not the Shi family. The emperor was relieved and a little regretful at the same time.
The reason why he is relieved is because the eldest prince wants to compete with the fourth prince and needs the support of Shennongtang behind the Shi family, so the Shi family has to stay.
Regrettably, if Shi Shi really is Bai Yueguang, he can use Ye Mo to get rid of Bai Yueguang, the supreme master, which can not only eliminate a hidden danger, but also deter other supreme masters and martial artists.
As Fuxin lowered her head and ate the food and wine, she could clearly feel the murderous intent in the emperor's eyes as he glanced at her.
Looking at Ye Lanzhi who had already formed a united front with the deposed queen mother and deposed empress in the cold palace, Shi Fuxin silently withdrew her mental power.
In the cold palace, the deposed Queen Mother held the mutton-fat jade pendant given to her by Ye Lanzhi, her face full of guilt, and she looked at Ye Lanzhi with scarlet eyes: "You'd better keep your promise and protect the legitimate grandson of the Wei family, or else you will mourn." I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost.”
All the male members of the Wei family were secretly executed. It was King Yu who secretly rescued the 5-year-old grandson of the Wei family.
Ye Lanzhi: "If a person has no faith, he will not stand."
The deposed Queen Mother closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and finally looked at the deposed Queen Mother: "The Wei family cannot cut off the inheritance."
Seeing the deposed queen nod numbly, the deposed queen decisively picked up the burning lamp and lit the room directly.
Leng Gong was poured oil in advance by people arranged by King Yu, and the fire soon became bigger.
On the other side, the palace banquet was coming to an end. Just as the ministers were preparing to leave, they suddenly heard a vague noise outside the palace.
“What happened?” The emperor was a little unhappy.
Eunuch Liu quickly sent someone to inquire about it. Soon, he whispered to the emperor eagerly: "Your Majesty, the cold palace has gone wrong."
Knowing that the emperor did not want to pay attention to Leng Gong's affairs, Eunuch Liu said no more and turned around to explain.
The ministers present also knew that it was a matter of being in the cold palace. Because the former prince was deposed and the queen mother and empress were in the cold palace, it has always been taboo, so no one dared to say anything at this time. No one thought that the fire in Leng Palace would burn so big. Hearing the commotion outside the palace that continued, the emperor frowned again and asked, "Hasn't the fire been brought under control yet?"
Before Eunuch Liu could answer, an old woman with disheveled hair and a messy body suddenly rushed into the hall.
“Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has gone!”
The sudden cry shocked everyone, even the emperor was stunned for a moment.
“Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is gone and the Queen Mother will die!”
The old mama cried in grief: "Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you for the last time. Please go see the Queen so that she can go away with peace of mind."
The emperor has no feelings for the deposed queen mother and deposed empress, and their life and death cannot affect his mood.
But now, the deposed queen mother is dead and the deposed queen is about to die. The ministers all know that the deposed queen wants to see them for the last time. If they don't agree, it will be too callous.
The Queen Mother was his aunt in name only, and the Wei family had indeed helped him. In order not to appear too ruthless, the emperor could only hold his breath and go to the cold palace.
The emperor is going to the Leng Palace, and the ministers present are not allowed to leave just yet. They can only follow him to see the situation in the Leng Palace.
A large group of people set out towards Leng Palace.
The fire in Leng Palace has been suppressed, but the remaining thick smoke can still show the intensity of the previous fire.
At the entrance of the Cold Palace, the queen, who was in a state of embarrassment, with multiple burns on her face and hands, was lying straight on the ground, her chest rising and falling weakly, and only a thin **** was kneeling next to her to take care of her.
The emperor and his entourage came over and were a little silent when they saw the queen's appearance.
“Your Majesty.”
The queen raised her hand with difficulty, stretched out to the emperor, and looked at the emperor expectantly.
Concubine Liu Guifei, who had been fighting with the queen for decades, felt a little sad when she saw that the queen could not let go of the emperor even when she was dying, but the emperor stood still with an indifferent expression.
“Your Majesty.”
The Queen's voice was a little lower, and her raised hand was trembling, as if she couldn't hold it up any longer.
"Why"
In the crowd, someone sighed, and then several more sighs were heard one after another.
After the emperor heard the sigh, he hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the queen, stopped a step away from the queen, and looked down at the queen who was burned beyond recognition.
The queen's hand was still raised, but the emperor was unmoved.
Unable to do so, the queen could only ask the **** beside her to help her sit up.
The **** had no strength, so as a last resort, the queen reached out and grabbed the emperor's robe, and with the help of the tug, she sat up with difficulty.
The emperor frowned, but he did not shake the queen away.
After the queen sat up, she gasped for breath for a while, and then asked with difficulty: "Your Majesty, my concubine is about to die. Please tell me the truth. Have you ever been sincere to me?"
Looking at the tearful queen, the emperor frowned even more.
Seeing that the emperor did not answer, the queen suddenly became excited and grabbed the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, you have never liked me, have you?"
"In your heart, whether it's me or the prince, we are just tools for you to use, right?"
The queen looked excited and held the emperor's hand tightly.
Although the emperor felt his hand being pulled by the queen and it hurt, he couldn't just shake the queen off at this moment, and he didn't notice that the armor on the queen's hand had scratched the back of his hand.
The queen looked at the emperor sadly: "Your Majesty, you don't like me, why do you make me the queen, and why do you make my son the prince?"
“I understand, you are paving the way for the eldest prince, right?”
“Among so many princes, the one you like the most is the eldest prince born after the Yuan Dynasty, right?”
Seeing that the queen's words were getting more and more outrageous, and not wanting the ministers to see his joke, the emperor wanted to get rid of the queen, but he didn't expect the queen to hold on to him.
The **** beside the queen saw that something was wrong and wanted to come over and pull the queen away. Who knows, the more 'he' pulled, the tighter the queen pulled.
The emperor felt a stinging pain on his hands, and then realized that his hands were dripping with blood. Then he felt dizzy and staggered.
At this time, the emperor realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to call someone, his vision went dark and he fell down.
The emperor is a very suspicious and jealous person, but he really didn’t expect that someone would dare to assassinate him in the palace, and in front of everyone! !
