Chapter 663 Zhou Yuchang, you will be ruined if you dare to say that!
The blood dyed Emperor An's hands red, and the empress dowager closed her eyes and collapsed.
"Mother!"
Emperor An shouted in panic. Seeing that the Queen Mother was unconscious, he hugged her and turned around, furious: "Song Tangning, you are so good! You actually made the Queen Mother faint."
"Come here, capture this bitch who offended the Queen Mother!"
Concubine Zhao was startled: "Your Majesty, Princess Xiangning did not mean to..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor An raised his eyes with a sinister look and stopped Concubine Zhao from speaking. His tone was cold and icy: "What does it matter if it was intentional or not? The Empress Dowager is so noble, how could she be offended? If anything happens to the Empress Dowager today because of her, I will make her pay with her life!"
"Liu Tongen, capture this bitch for me!!"
No one expected things to turn out like this, and no one expected that the original interrogation of the Crown Prince and Qian Qiyue would turn into Tang Ning making the Queen Mother faint from anger. Moreover, seeing the Queen Mother vomiting blood and unconscious with a pale face, everyone in the hall felt a sudden shock in their hearts.
Would Princess Xiangning anger the Queen Mother to death?
When Liu Tong'en stepped forward to grab Tang Ning, Qian Qiyue raised her foot and kicked him, but she was tied up and was no match for Liu Tong'en.
When Tang Ning staggered backward after being slapped away by Liu Tong'en, Liu Tong'en directly reached out and grabbed him.
"Tang Ning!"
Qian Qiyue screamed in shock.
Tang Ning couldn't avoid the person in front of him when he stepped back quickly. Seeing Liu Tong'en close at hand, Tang Ning's eyes suddenly became fierce and he raised his hand.
Liu Tong'en saw a flash of cold light in her sleeve. His face suddenly changed and he quickly dodged to the side. He heard a muffled groan from behind him. It turned out that a guard who followed Liu Tong'en to arrest someone was stabbed in the neck. On the pillar behind him was an extremely thin short arrow that was almost completely embedded in the wood.
Tang Ning's wide cuffs fell down, revealing his fair forearm, which was wrapped with a leather cuff. All the way down on his originally delicate wrist was a very small arm crossbow. At this moment, the small arrow the length of a finger on it was flashing with cold light and was pointing at Liu Tongen.
Liu Tongen sneered: "I advise Princess Xiangning to surrender obediently. This small crossbow can hurt her..."
ah--
Before he could finish his words, he heard a scream behind him.
Liu Tong'en subconsciously turned his head and saw the guard whose neck had just been cut collapsed on the ground, covering his neck and screaming and struggling. In less than two breaths, the screaming stopped abruptly. The man's posture was twisted and stiff, and his face was covered with bruises left by the poison.
"How dare you bring poison arrows into the palace?!"
Liu Tong'en looked at the man who was killed instantly with a look of shock on his face.
No one knew what was on that arrow, but it was so poisonous that it could kill someone instantly just by scratching the skin.
If he had not moved away in time, he would be the one lying on the ground.
Emperor An was also startled. He had not expected Tang Ning to actually be carrying a sharp weapon. His expression grew even more fierce, and he angrily shouted down, "Song Tang Ning, you are so good! I summoned you to the palace to tend to the empress dowager's illness, and you dared to bring such a wounding thing? Have you always had bad intentions?"
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you capture her for me?!"
This time the guards rushed forward.
Yu Yanfeng's face changed. Seeing that Emperor An had ordered immediate action, he raised his knife to block the person in front of him, turned around, cut the rope on Qian Qiyue, and stood in front of Tang Ning.
"Yu Yanfeng, what are you doing?" Emperor An shouted angrily.
Yu Yanfeng said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's death is quite suspicious. Princess Xiangning offended the Queen Mother out of anger. After all, she was personally appointed by you as your princess and the future wife of Duke Dingguo. It would be inappropriate to arrest her directly. It would be better to wait until today's incident is fully investigated before making any conclusions..."
"How dare she offend the Queen Mother! It's a grave sin no matter who she is!"
"His Majesty……"
"Shut up! If anything happens to the Queen Mother, will you pay with your life?"
Emperor An finished his cold rebuke and said, "I order you to arrest Song Tangning. Anyone who dares to stop me will be punished."
Liu Tongen looked at Yu Yanfeng and said, "Commander Yu, please move aside."
Yu Yanfeng knew that he should step aside at this moment, otherwise he would be telling Emperor An that he had betrayed the Holy Emperor, but he could not step aside.
He has already boarded Xiao Yan's boat, and the things that Emperor An did to him before made it difficult for him to turn back and be loyal. He understood what Tang Ning meant to Xiao Yan. If she died in the palace or something happened to her, Xiao Yan would never let it go.
Yu Yanfeng held the knife and said, "Your Majesty is furious because the Queen Mother is in a coma, but I cannot help you. Now the war in the south is at a stalemate, and the court is unstable. Please think twice..."
"well!!"
Emperor An laughed in anger, "You, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, are acting like a prime minister!!"
"Liu Tongen!"
When Emperor An shouted angrily, Liu Tong'en knew that he was really angry with Yu Yanfeng. He didn't say anything more and attacked Yu Yanfeng directly.
Liu Tong'en had been resentful of Yu Yanfeng for suddenly gaining Emperor An's favor. Seeing him like this, he naturally wouldn't let him off. Combined with old and new grudges, he was determined to kill him. While Yu Yanfeng was fighting with Liu Tong'en, he turned to Qian Qiyue and said, "Get out!"
Qian Qiyue hurriedly pulled Tang Ning outside, but there were already many guards outside Shoukang Palace.
Qian Qiyue had been drugged in the porch before, and the effects of the drug had not yet worn off. When they were surrounded, the two of them quickly showed injuries. If it weren't for Tang Ning's wrist crossbow, which was intimidating and could force back several people who were close to him, they would have been captured long ago.
Seeing Tang Ning's back being scratched, Zhou Yuchang looked anxious: "Stop..."
"Hmm."
Someone suddenly covered her mouth. Fu Jinrou grabbed Zhou Yuchang and lowered her voice: "Are you going to die?"
"open!"
Zhou Yuchang pushed her away and tried to walk out.
Fu Jinrou grabbed her arm tightly and said, "Tang Ning fainted from anger, and Qian Qiyue killed the crown prince. No one can save them. Even if you don't want to live, do you want to save the reputation of the Wenxin Marquisate? Do you want to save the reputation of your father, mother, your brother and sister-in-law, and the women of the Zhou family?"
"And He Jin, you're getting married in two months. He's been so good to you. If he knew what happened today..."
"Zhou Yuchang, you don't even care about He Jin anymore?"
Zhou Yuchang's face was pale, her eyes were filled with panic and fear, and her body was shaking.
She doesn't want to.
She really likes Brother Jin and is looking forward to their life after their wedding.
She knew that if people knew what happened in Baoxia, she and Brother Jin would be finished, and she would be drowned in spit in the future.
But……
Seeing Qian Qiyue being injured but still desperately protecting Tang Ning, and Tang Ning not retreating at all to block for her, Zhou Yuchang forcefully shook off Fu Jinrou's hand, walked quickly to the front of the palace and shouted: "Your Majesty, the death of the prince was not caused by Sister Qian, he was murdered by someone, I..."
"Bang!"
A loud noise interrupted Zhou Yuchang's words. Everyone in the hall was startled. When they turned around, they saw a figure rushing in.
The man who was holding Qian Qiyue's arm just now suddenly screamed, and with a flash of cold light, his hand was broken at the wrist.
