Chapter 563: There is something strange about the emperor
"He... is far from being as simple as you think." The Queen suppressed her emotions and said solemnly, "I have been his Queen for many years and know his habits."
"He would never put himself in harm's way."
"Yingmian." The Queen held Xie Yingmian's hand tightly and struggled for a long time before she lowered her voice and said, "The Emperor has a very terrible weapon in his hand."
"That killing weapon once terrorized a small nation. My brother also had one. He said that weapon alone could annihilate an army of thousands."
"Aside from this killing weapon, he himself is a bit weird."
"he……"
The queen bit her lip, as if she was preparing herself mentally.
Xie Yingmian said, "Empress, if you can't say it, then don't say it."
The Queen shook her head: "No, I think this matter is very important to you."
"I want to tell you."
"Give me a little time."
The Queen calmed down for a moment before saying, "Many years ago, the Emperor was assassinated. The assassin was extremely skilled, and his dagger had already penetrated the Emperor's heart. When everyone thought the Emperor was doomed, the situation suddenly changed."
"The emperor wasn't dead. He exuded a strange and terrifying aura. He should have died after being stabbed in the heart, but he crushed the assassin's head with his bare hands."
She was with the emperor when it happened.
He witnessed with his own eyes the scene where the emperor crushed the assassin's head, and also felt the terrifying aura emanating from the emperor at that time.
Even after so many years, she still can't help trembling when she thinks about it.
"What I'm saying to you is that although you may appear powerful on the surface, you don't have much of an advantage over the Emperor."
"You have too few trump cards. One more trump card means one more force to protect you."
"So, please be sure to accept the Chu family's thank-you gift."
"Even if the Chu family's power is just a drop in the bucket, it's better than nothing."
Xie Yingmian was deeply moved.
The ultimate weapon mentioned by the Queen should be the light weapon left by Xie Jingyun.
She speculated that the emperor had light weapons as a trump card.
This is also the reason why she has not yet let Qinghuang or Suisui go directly into the palace to kill the emperor.
As soon as the light weapon was released, the whole world was annihilated.
If a war breaks out without any scruples, this vibrant country may become barren.
The people of this country will also die for no reason.
This is something she doesn't want to see.
but!
She never expected that in addition to light weapons, the emperor himself also had some strange things.
Qinghuang and Suisui have both met the emperor.
Sui Sui even teamed up with her to hypnotize the emperor.
Sui Sui didn't notice anything unusual about the emperor, nor did Qing Huang, and neither did she.
It's so weird.
Xie Yingmian thought of the Du'e Gu.
The Du'e Gu transfers the damage suffered by the mother Gu host to the child Gu host.
Like Feng Qing and Yu Lingye.
She suspected that the emperor also had a similar poisonous insect in his body.
"Empress," Xie Yingmian asked, "Has anyone died suddenly since the Emperor was assassinated?"
"Many people died," the Queen said. "All the palace maids and eunuchs who witnessed the assassination were dealt with. Their deaths were silent."
Xie Yingmian frowned.
There is no way to check this.
The Queen sighed, "I'm lucky. I was frightened by the strange aura emanating from the Emperor and fainted."
"After I woke up, I felt the emperor's murderous intent and realized that I had witnessed something I shouldn't have seen."
"When I lied that an assassin was about to kill the emperor, I fainted. Guilt-stricken, I hugged the emperor and cried until he believed me."
"I am the queen, the mother of a country. It would be troublesome for the emperor to touch me. Later, when he saw that I had never mentioned this matter, he believed me."
Xie Yingmian didn't ask any more questions.
She took the Flying Eagle Order and said, "Thank you, Queen. I will respectfully obey your command."
When the queen saw Xie Yingmian answer it, the tension between her brows relaxed a lot.
She glanced at the sky outside and said quickly, "Yingmian, I have strict time requirements for entering and leaving the palace. It's getting late. Please take me to the Grand Princess's Mansion."
"I'll just take a look at Third Brother and come back."
Xie Yingmian felt something was wrong.
There are many spies outside Prince Ling's Mansion. If she suddenly goes to the Grand Princess's Mansion, a careful investigation will reveal something fishy. Then the fact that the Queen disguised herself as Shuangjiang and left the palace will no longer be concealed.
For safety reasons.
Xie Yingmian asked the Grand Princess to send someone to pick her up.
She ordered Zang Yue, who was the fastest, to inform the Grand Princess.
While waiting, she asked Zhuyue to change the queen's clothes.
Soon, the Grand Princess sent someone to announce that she suddenly felt dizzy and asked Xie Yingmian to come over to take her pulse.
Xie Yingmian took the disguised queen onto the carriage of the Grand Princess's Mansion.
After getting on the carriage.
The Queen looked around and whispered, "Yingmian, there is one more thing I need to tell you."
"He's become more and more unscrupulous lately."
"After Concubine Quan's death, he no longer summoned concubines, but palace maids would die every now and then in the palace."
"Those palace maids didn't hold high status, and most of them did rough and dirty work. No one cared when they disappeared, and since there were so few missing people, it didn't cause much of a stir."
"In the past month or so, one, two, or even four or five people might go missing every day."
"People in the palace are in a state of panic, and there are rumors of evil spirits eating people."
