When Minister Zhao heard this, his expression changed drastically.
"Song Qingxue! What did you do to Wanqiu!"
"What can I, the daughter of a court official, do to Queen Zhao? You should ask your most beloved emperor this question."
She did do it, but Xiahou Chun must take the blame.
But she may have overestimated Minister Zhao's feelings for Zhao Wanqiu and underestimated his respect and love for Xiahou Chun.
Seeing that she pushed the matter onto Xiahou Chun, he didn't even look at him and just shut his mouth.
This was an unexpected result for Song Qingxue, but it was not a big problem.
Because her speech was too outrageous, she was caught by the two palace maids and brought back to Xiahou Chun.
Xiahou Jun did not get angry at this time, nor did he explain. He just calmly gestured to the priest, indicating him to start the sacrifice.
He no longer cared about his reputation now. As long as the sacrifice was completed and he and Song Qingxue successfully performed the ceremony of heaven and earth, she would be his queen.
After marrying Song Qingxue, the tiger talisman in Song Yan's hand would belong to him.
With these troops, even if these officials were dissatisfied with him, they could not rebel.
As long as you have power and status, what does it matter whether you have those nice-sounding reputations or not?
However, today's sacrifice before enthronement is destined to be incomplete.
The sound of horse hooves gradually got closer, and Song Qingxue seemed to feel that the ground beneath her feet was shaking.
Song Qingxue, who was nearly pinned down by the head, suddenly raised her right elbow, pushed backwards hard, and then immediately shook off the restraints and pushed the two palace maids away.
She lifted her skirt and ran towards the altar, but after just a few steps, she was caught by Xiahou Chun. He tightly grasped her shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and then pinched her neck with one hand and her waist with the other, not giving her any chance to resist.
"Where do you want to run to?"
Xiahou Chun's voice was sinister. She couldn't see his expression, but she could guess roughly.
"Ha! I didn't expect to be tricked!"
Xiahou Chun looked at the soldiers surrounding outside and felt extremely gloomy.
"There are so many things you can't imagine, idiot!" After Song Qingxue said this, she grabbed a handful of white powder from her sleeve, then raised her hand and sprinkled it in front of his eyes.
Although I was facing away from him and couldn't see how far his eyes were, a lot of powder still got into his eyes.
Xiahou Chun's eyes were irritated and he couldn't stand the pain, so he let go of his hand immediately.
Song Qingxue took the opportunity to escape from his hold and ran downstairs immediately.
However, what she threw over was just some harmless powder, and very little of the powder entered Xiahou Chun's eyes.
Xiahou Chun recovered quickly, and seeing that she was still trying to escape, he quickly chased after her.
Although he had always pretended to be useless in the past, he was actually a master of both civil and military affairs. He used his Qi and light Kung Fu to quickly get in front of Song Qingxue and stop her.
"Don't even think about running away!"
He had originally relied on Song Qingxue to consolidate his position. Now that he knew he had been tricked, he could not let Song Qingxue escape.
Xiahou Jun knew that the outside was surrounded by troops, but the only one alive in the court who still had troops under his command was Song Yan.
As long as Song Qingxue is in his hands, Song Yan dare not do anything to him!
"I'm really going to run! Can you stop me?"
As Song Qingxue spoke, she reached out and pulled out the knife hanging on the waist of a guard beside her and started fighting with him.
Each of her moves was skillful and powerful. Xiahou Chun dodged and was extremely surprised for a moment.
He didn't expect Song Qingxue's skills to be so good.
However, he was not afraid of her.
Although Song Qingxue is a talented person, she has not practiced for a long time and has almost no practical experience. This certainly cannot be compared with Xiahou Chun, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood.
What's more, she learned the Song family's spearmanship, which was a long weapon, but she had a short weapon in her hand.
There are naturally many things that are not suitable when using short weapons to perform long weapon moves, so there are also more loopholes.
Song Qingxue soon fell into a disadvantage, but she did not want to be captured.
Now Xiahou Chun's behavior is obviously to threaten her life.
Perhaps Xiahou Chun was so determined to capture her because he thought the person outside was her father, but she knew it was Xiahou Chongyuan.
It must be him!
But whether it is her father or Xiahou Chongyuan, she cannot become a burden.
Song Qingxue tensed up and carefully dealt with Xiahou Chun's power. Although she was destined to lose to him, she definitely couldn't be caught by him.
However, her opponent is not just Xiahou Chun.
Xiahou Chun saw that she couldn't be taken down easily by one person, so he shouted, "What are you all standing there for! Take her down!"
With everyone attacking together, Song Qingxue naturally couldn't handle it alone.
She was forced into a corner, but still refused to give in.
Song Qingxue gritted her teeth and pointed the blade at Xiahou Chun, "Don't come over here!"
After saying that, she placed the blade on her neck.
"If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill myself immediately! Xiahou Chun, you don't think that everyone is as afraid of death as a coward like you!"
She really showed no mercy to him. Just as she spoke, the sharp blade was stained with her blood.
Xiahou Chun did not dare to act rashly for a while.
The army outside has arrived. If Song Qingxue dies, he will really have no chance of turning things around.
All he needs to do is to delay the time until Meng He leads his troops here.
But the army outside wouldn't allow it, and neither would Song Qingxue.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves approaching, Song Qingxue closed her eyes and was about to stab the knife into her neck, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew past, and her hand was suddenly hit by something and became numb, and the hand that was tightly holding the handle of the knife immediately loosened.
Then she felt someone pulling her arm, and she flew into the air. After a few ups and downs, she was out of Xiahou Chun's control.
"Qingxue, why don't you open your eyes? Are you attracted to my secret guard and want him to hold you for a while longer?"
When she heard the voice she had missed for a long time, she immediately opened her eyes and pounced on her.
"Luckily you came, fortunately you came!" She didn't say that she missed him, but the hands tightly wrapped around his waist had already expressed all her feelings.
But now is not the time for affectionate words, Song Qingxue only hugged him for a moment and then let him go.
After they separated, Xiahou Chongyuan pulled her to stand behind him, then he restrained his expression and walked forward to face Xiahou Chun with a calm face.
Song Qingxue was behind him, looking at him intently, with infinite gratitude and joy in her heart.
Xiahou Chongyuan came to protect her, and she did not become a burden to him.
"Xiahou Chun, you first hired someone to assassinate the emperor and the regent, and then colluded with the foreign royal family, using foreign troops to force the palace to rebel and usurp the throne. Do you know your crime?"
Xiahou Chongyuan's voice was very sonorous and powerful, and his words were even more weighty.
Hiring someone to assassinate the emperor and the regent was already a capital crime punishable by slow slicing, but he actually colluded with foreign nations!
In order to seize the throne, he actually collaborated with the enemy and committed treason. With all these crimes charged upon him, even if he had ten heads, they would not be enough to chop off!
