Chapter 430: Backstabbed by the Beloved
As soon as Shen Zhao said this, everyone held their breath and looked towards the emperor.
The old emperor was even more shocked.
Mu'er wouldn't call for protection for no reason.
Could it be that he discovered something!
The old emperor immediately became alert.
After all, he was an emperor who had fought on the battlefield.
Not trash.
Thanks to Chu Mu's reminder, Eunuch Su, who wanted to kidnap the old emperor, turned around and hid from the queen by diverting the attention of the guards.
The queen was held hostage.
He held a sharp dagger tightly in his hand.
Shouted to the crowd:
"Get out of the way, or I'll kill her."
Eunuch Su looked at Shen Zhao viciously.
If he hadn't shouted just now, he would have been absolutely sure of taking the boss hostage.
But his words of "protecting the emperor" made the boss on guard, and it would be wishful thinking for him to hold the boss hostage again.
Even though the boss has been living a life of luxury for so many years, he is not just a bunch of idlers.
He forced himself on her and no one knew who died.
Damn it, how did the guy surnamed Chu know that he wanted to take action against the boss.
Of course Shen Zhao knew it, because she heard Eunuch Su cursing the queen's incompetence in his heart.
And his idea of escaping and using the old emperor as a target.
There was no sign of panic on the queen's face. The prince would not kill her.
The prince would rather hurt himself than hurt her.
So she was not worried that she would be hurt. Instead, she felt fortunate that she could help the prince escape.
The old emperor did not order the guards to retreat, but the number of people surrounding Eunuch Su and the queen did not decrease.
One after another, they came forward, waiting for the emperor's order, and then they swarmed forward to capture Eunuch Su and the Queen.
Eunuch Su became anxious upon seeing this. He thought that the eldest brother shouldn't just watch the queen die.
First of all, the queen is the prince's mother. If the queen dies now, it will have a huge impact on the prince.
Secondly, the boss is still unaware of the mysterious power behind the queen, so how could he let Nan Chu be in danger all the time?
Thinking of this, Eunuch Su's eyes were also filled with ink.
The Queen, this foolish woman, not only has him by her side, she also has connections with the Wu family. It seems that the Queen has some leverage over Wu Hongzhong.
Not only that, this bitch also has a secret connection with Lao Qi, this fickle woman.
He knew all this on the surface, but there was also a mysterious force behind the scenes helping this idiot.
He had coaxed her into telling him where that power came from.
But this stupid woman was actually on guard against him and had never told him.
If he had any connection with that force, why would he have endured it until now? He would have rebelled long ago.
Shen Zhao listened to Eunuch Su's thoughts and his eyes darkened.
She knew that the Wu family had a connection with the Queen.
In the past, she was still pondering why Wu Hongzhong, who was also a member of the Wu family, did not support Concubine Hui. After all, compared with the Queen and the Crown Prince, wouldn't it be better for Wu Hongzhong to support the puppet emperor, the Third Prince?
Now she knew that the Queen had something against Wu Hongzhong. What could this something be?
Shen Zhao looked at Wu Yunfeng and the two kings behind him.
Suddenly she felt that the Second King was the bait released by Wu Hongzhong to attract attention.
Or rather, it was another puppet emperor that he wanted to support.
Wu Yunfeng received the gaze from Shen Zhao. He raised his head slightly and glanced at Shen Zhao. It was Prince Zhong.
The loyal prince who once saved his life.
He met Wu Yunfeng's gaze.
Shen Zhao looked at him with some sympathy. This was an unlucky child.
No matter what happens today, this unfortunate child will be implicated and may even become a substitute to be punished in place of Wu Hongzhong.
After all, he is now Wu Hongzhong's eldest son on the surface.
Wu Yunfeng naturally saw the regret in Prince Zhong's eyes. He couldn't help but laugh at himself and lowered his head again.
Apart from Wu Da, who grew up with him, the first person to sympathize with him was actually an outsider.
He had anticipated today's scene countless times, just like every battle, big or small, in the past, he was the one charging at the front.
Shen Zhao shifted his gaze from Wu Yunfeng to the Queen.
She also knew that the Seventh Prince had a connection with the Queen. After all, the Zhang family had connected with the Seventh Prince.
But who is the mysterious force behind the queen?
Being valued so highly by Eunuch Su and even having the support of this force, he dared to rebel immediately.
This force should never be underestimated.
Just like the mysterious family behind Feng Li.
Although Feng Li was born to a prince of Northern Qi, she was sure that the mysterious family behind Feng Li should be from the clan of Feng Li's mother.
It definitely won’t be the Northern Qi royal family that is in chaos now.
There is also the overseas family behind the old emperor and the ninth prince's biological mother.
These are mysterious forces that threaten the country and the people.
Thinking this way, I couldn't figure out the reason.
The Queen really cannot die, and she cannot be taken hostage by Eunuch Su.
As long as the queen is there, she has her own way to interrogate all the forces behind her.
Eunuch Su, who was surrounded by people, was extremely anxious.
He pressed the dagger in his hand against the queen's slender white neck.
The queen screamed in pain.
"Ah...you..." She never thought that the prince whom she had cared about for more than ten years would hurt her!
She couldn't accept this at all!
A thin stream of bright red blood flowed down the wound caused by the dagger.
"Shut up!" Eunuch Su's tone was full of impatience.
He pressed the dagger in his hand down again, and the shallow cut instantly widened.
The queen, who had never been hurt before, couldn't help but cry out in pain again.
She had been held in the palm of the hand by the Pang family since she was born. When she grew up, there were only her and Pang Qingyun in the house. The whole family treated her like a treasure and doted on her without any bumps or injuries.
When she married the emperor, she was the legal wife, the crown princess, and the queen, and her life was smooth.
Although the emperor didn't love her, he had never actually hurt her, not even a little bit.
Today, she was held hostage by her beloved prince with a dagger.
Just now she was still feeling grateful that she could help the prince escape, but now her heart was aching.
Eunuch Su completely ignored what the Queen was thinking. He looked at the Emperor and said:
"Since ancient times, if a master makes a mistake, the servant will inevitably die."
"I believe I have never made a mistake since entering the palace. I was forced to hold the Queen hostage today. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life and let me go."
"Otherwise, don't blame me and the Queen for being destroyed together."
"I don't think His Majesty will kill the Empress yet, so he won't watch me kill her."
The old emperor looked at Eunuch Su unmoved.
He opened his lips and said:
"You two are master and servant. If the Queen could die in your hands, I think she would be willing."
Do you really think I know nothing?
Eunuch Su was stunned. This shouldn’t be the case, this shouldn’t be the case!
How could the boss just watch this stupid woman get killed by him?
