After a while, palace servants came in one after another, helped Emperor Hui change his clothes and helped him wash.
The queen had been used to being served since she was a child and had no habit of serving others.
I saw her sitting on a chair nearby, watching everything silently, with no intention of lending a hand.
After the palace servants had finished their service, she said leisurely, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time to attend the morning court."
Emperor Hui went to the Golden Palace surrounded by palace servants.
In the court, Emperor Hui was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with godly majesty and kingly aura, looking down at the people in the court.
Today is the first time that Emperor Hui has attended the court this month. When some ministers saw Emperor Hui, they could not hide the excitement in their eyes.
Their emperor finally came back.
As the morning session draws to a close.
"My dear ministers, if you have anything to report, please report it. If not, please dismiss the court." Emperor Hui looked at the audience with a serious face.
Shen Kuoyan, who was standing below, could no longer sit still, so he stood out from the train with a ivory tablet in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you." He bowed to Emperor Hui.
Emperor Hui raised his eyes and said with some doubt: "Oh? General Shen, what do you want to report?"
This old fox is about to be unable to hold it back any longer.
The ministers around him looked at Shen Kuo curiously, wondering what he was going to do.
The people who followed Shen Kuo, after receiving his eye signal, continued speaking along the lines of Emperor Hui's words.
"General Shen, tell the emperor what you want to say."
Amid the expectant gazes of the crowd, Shen Kuo was a little excited and did not recognize Emperor Hui's tone for a moment.
"Your Majesty, yesterday, you issued an imperial edict to your subjects. I wonder if you remember this?" Shen Kuo looked straight at the emperor sitting on the high throne.
Emperor Hui lowered his eyes, and their eyes met in the air, but soon they quickly moved away.
He spoke slowly: "I don't understand what General Shen said."
“Your Majesty, you…” After these words came out, Shen Kuo was speechless.
He thought it was a done deal, but unexpectedly Emperor Hui flatly denied it.
Looking at Emperor Hui's appearance, could it be that the previous medicine has lost its effect?
But it doesn’t matter. The imperial edict is still with him, and he has no choice but to acknowledge it.
He snorted coldly and took out a bright yellow cloth from his arms, "Your Majesty, what do you think this is?"
"This is the emperor's decree to General Shen." The people around Shen Kuo reminded everyone.
Everyone was stunned. It turned out that the emperor really issued an imperial decree.
Emperor Hui silently watched the expressions of the crowd, and now it was clear who were Shen Kuo's men.
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Shen Kuo confidently opened the imperial edict, and when he looked down, there was not a single word on it.
He looked again and again without giving up, but found that there was still no word on it.
He was so angry that his face turned pale. What was going on?
Emperor Hui looked at his sudden change in expression and felt somewhat relieved, thinking that Yan'er still had the solution.
"General Shen, what's wrong with you?" Emperor Hui asked knowingly with a hint of smile in his eyes.
It must be you who did this. Shen Kuo came to his senses and glared at Emperor Hui fiercely.
"What's wrong? The emperor is really good at tricks." Shen Kuo said sarcastically.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that everything was pretended by Emperor Hui.
He played dumb and deceived him.
Shen Kuo threw the imperial edict to the ground like a rag, and everyone gasped.
What happened to General Shen today? He dared to openly confront the emperor. Isn't he afraid of losing his head?
Before everyone could react, a burst of arrow sounds suddenly came from behind.
"Someone come, there is an assassin, protect the emperor." Eunuch Wang stood in front of Emperor Hui and screamed at the top of his voice.
The arrow seemed to have eyes and shot straight at Emperor Hui on the high platform.
Emperor Hui remained calm and did not take any of this seriously.
With a "whoosh", the arrow shot into Eunuch Wang's chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down instantly.
The moment before he fell, he glanced at Emperor Hui and was relieved to see that he was not injured.
Your Majesty, this is the best I can do for you.
When Emperor Hui saw this, a sinister look flashed across his face.
"Chen Kuo, how dare you rebel?" Emperor Hui sneered, his voice like ice chips.
The ministers below were already in chaos, only Shen Kuo stood in the center, motionless.
Hearing Emperor Hui's words, he felt like he was hearing a joke, "Hahaha, Your Majesty, you only realized it now, but it's too late."
The ministers who supported Shen Kuo gathered around him and resisted Emperor Hui together.
When Master Liu saw Shen Kuo's behavior, he ignored his own danger, pointed his finger at Shen Kuo's nose, and angrily cursed: "Shen Kuo, you bastard, how dare you commit treason."
The guards around Shen Kuo grabbed Master Liu's arm tightly, making him unable to move.
"Let me go." At this time, Taifu Liu was a little anxious. If the emperor was really killed by Shen Kuo, how would he have the face to see the late emperor after his death?
Shen Kuo patted Master Liu's face and sneered, "Master Liu, please watch carefully."
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time." He could no longer hold back and took the initiative to express his inner thoughts.
As he spoke, he looked up at Emperor Hui and said, "Your Majesty, you have no way out. I advise you to issue an imperial decree and pass the throne to me."
Although forcing the emperor to abdicate was a heinous crime, he wanted to sit in this position legitimately.
Outside, the sound of weapons clashing broke the silence of the sky, and the guards surrounded the palace tightly.
"Oh, Shen Kuo, do you really think you can succeed in ascending to the throne?" Emperor Hui said meaningfully.
Shen Kuo didn't know what he meant, and sneered: "To tell you the truth, this place has been surrounded by my people. If you still want to save your life, I advise you not to struggle in vain."
Seeing that Emperor Hui was fearless, he said bluntly: "Are you still waiting for Mu Fan to save you? Don't wait."
Emperor Hui gave a mocking smile, "Really? Then why haven't those people outside come in yet?"
What does he mean by this?
After Emperor Hui's reminder, a chill instantly spread throughout Shen Kuo's body.
According to his plan, the soldiers would have arrived by now.
What Shen Kuo didn't know was that the generals under him had already been captured by Mu Qingyun and replaced by people on Emperor Hui's side.
They closed the palace gates to prevent reinforcements from arriving.
It can be said that the troops that Shen Kuo borrowed from the Beiming Kingdom were surrounded by Mu Fan's men before they entered the palace to provide assistance.
Following Emperor Hui's order, Mu Qingyun rushed in with his men.
He was seen facing the light, emitting a sacred light. He looked at Emperor Hui and said, "Father, you are not hurt, are you?"
The moment Shen Kuo saw Mu Qingyun, he had only one thought in his mind: why is he here?
Wasn't he sent to the frontier by Emperor Hui?
Emperor Hui saw the confusion in Shen Kuo's eyes and answered for him, "Shen Kuo, I pretended to send Yun'er to the border before just for this moment."
It turned out that the emperor had already seen through his plan, which was why he lost so badly this time.
