Shen Zhiyi was shocked. Having lived two lives, she had never seen such a scene.

The next second,

Her vision went black as a warm hand covered her eyes, and a gentle voice sounded in her ear, "Kong Qing."

The speed of the azure sky is extremely fast.

The long blade was drawn.

One cut,

Throat slit!

Chen blinked, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Drag him away!" Kong Qing said, and immediately guards dragged Chen away. "Take Eunuch Gao to get his wounds bandaged."

The person was taken away, and then a eunuch stepped forward to splash water and clean up the bloodstains on the ground. After Zhou Xuance withdrew his hand, Shen Zhiyi saw that everything seemed to have returned to normal.

There wasn't a trace of blood on the ground.

However, the lingering smell of blood in the air persisted, and Chen's words took root in everyone's hearts.

Because Lady Chen mentioned Consort Xiao and the Regent!

The ministers present at the time were the most alarmed by the assassination attempt on the Empress.

Because the Empress also mentioned them at that time.

Although Chen was mentally unstable, his words were not entirely unreliable.

There were already many rumors surrounding Consort Xiao's suicide for love.

Although she and the late emperor had a deep affection for each other, the regent was still young. As a mother, how could she bear to abandon her young son and choose to die?

"What a madman!" The Empress Dowager seemed to have just recovered from a huge shock. "How dare he bring such a madman before His Majesty? All of you, go and receive your punishment!"

Several guards thanked the emperor and went to receive their punishment.

At this moment, Emperor Xiaoxuan's body could no longer hold on, and he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.
