The president of the Academy said with a bitter face, "However, fresh blood Qilin is exclusively for the royal family. I hope His Royal Highness the Regent will go and discuss with the Queen Mother, Empress, and Consort Shu in the palace to quickly obtain fresh blood Qilin to detoxify!"
When Xia Chujian heard these clues, he was stunned by the three words "blood unicorn".
A thousand years ago, someone used dried blood unicorn to harm others!
She had just appeared in this scene and had already killed the two nephews and niece of Pojun's adoptive mother with a volley of bullets.
She didn't even have time to ask them where they got the dried blood unicorn?
In other words, who gave it to them? Who asked them to poison Pojun?
But all this is not important at the moment.
Xia Chujian said, "First, sort out the causes and consequences of the urgent messages from Da Zang, Southern Cross, and Bo Mu. I'll be back in ten minutes for a briefing."
Then Xia Chujian stood up and quickly left the hall.
After leaving the palace, Xia Chujian said directly to the royal guards at the door: "Seal off the entire harem."
"From the Queen Mother to the cleaning servants, everyone is on standby."
"Especially those at the Imperial Pharmacy. Anyone who dares to move will be shot on the spot."
"Tell them that during this special period, the law requires strict punishment."
"They need to be relaxed. Once His Majesty the Emperor returns and His Highness Pojun wakes up, they can relax."
The new head of the royal guard was also a woman, not young anymore, probably in her late forties.
But his eyes were firm, his actions were decisive, and the key was that he listened to Xia Chujian very much.
Xia Chujian gave her a look and she immediately took the order and left.
Xia Chujian took four personal guards and went to the Queen Mother's palace first.
It was also a big house like the previous palaces. One person lived in a large courtyard. There were many people serving her, who crowded at the door and did not allow her to go in.
Xia Chujian said directly to the guards, "What is the crime for preventing the Regent from rescuing His Highness Pojun?"
Her guards immediately raised their guns and aimed.
There was a burst of gunfire, killing half of the people blocking the door of the Empress Dowager's Palace, and the remaining half ran away in a flash.
Xia Chujian didn't care, strode into the courtyard, and said coldly: "If you don't accept the toast, you will have to drink the penalty wine, you deserve it!"
When she entered the main hall of the Queen Mother's palace, the well-maintained woman was holding the arms of two eunuchs. She looked at her angrily and screamed, "Regent! Are you planning a rebellion?!"
Xia Chujian didn't indulge her either, saying, "The Queen Mother doesn't allow me to save His Highness Pojun. Do you want to control the government yourself? — It's you who wants to rebel, right?"
The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned red. She said, "I am the Queen Mother! When the Emperor is not around, the Queen Mother has the right to rule from behind the curtain!"
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow. "Really? So you'd rather rule the country from behind the scenes than allow His Highness Pojun to wake up?"
The Queen Mother's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "I didn't forbid him to wake up. But he was poisoned. Not only the Imperial Pharmacy, but even the Academy of Sciences are helpless. Can you blame me for this?"
Xia Chujian said, "But the Academy of Sciences said that as long as there is fresh blood Qilin, the poison can be detoxified."
"I heard you had some, so I came to get some from you."
"Look, are you going to give it to me yourself, or are my people going to search for it themselves?"
Xia Chujian stood with his hands behind his back, not trying to be polite to the empress dowager at all.
More and more personal guards followed her, and soon the courtyard in front of the Empress Dowager's main hall was almost full.
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and said angrily, "Qisha, do you really think of yourself as the Regent?! Don't you think about when our Beichen Empire has ever crowned a king for someone outside the family?"
"Don't you really want to leave yourself a way out?!"
Xia Chujian was extremely anxious. Seeing that the old queen was nagging and refusing to hand over the fresh blood Qilin, she pulled out the pistol from her waist and said coldly, "I just want to ask you one question. Will you give it to me or not?"
The Queen Mother was timid but said, "I don't have any, how can I give it to you? Fresh blood Qilin is so rare, where can I get it?"
Xia Chujian knew that this thing would be specially supplied to the royal family even a thousand years later. You are the queen mother, and you tell me that?
Xia Chujian stopped talking nonsense, loaded his pistol, and shot the empress dowager in the chest.
Bang!
The Queen Mother screamed and fell to the ground, clutching her chest.
“Anti…Anti…”
She spoke intermittently, trying to say that Xia Chujian was rebelling.
Xia Chujian didn't bother to pay attention to her at all. She said to the Queen Mother's attendants, "Get me the fresh blood Qilin now."
"If you dare to say no, you will all be buried with the Queen Mother!"
Her shooting skills are very accurate. She will hit the heart if she wants to, and will not hit other places in the chest.
The Queen Mother was twitching on the ground. When her chief eunuch cautiously brought out a bag of fresh blood Qilin, she kicked the ground twice and closed her eyes.
Xia Chujian hated the drama of the old queen mother seizing power the most.
Rather than letting these old queens control the government, it would be better for her, the regent, His Highness Qi Sha, to do it herself...
Xia Chujian took out a bag of fresh Qilin blood, handed it to his personal guard, and said, "Hurry up and take it to detoxify His Highness Pojun."
Then he took his people and went to the Queen's side.
The Queen originally wanted to resist stubbornly, but when she heard that the newly appointed Regent had gone on a killing spree against the Queen Mother, not only killing half of the Queen Mother's attendants but even beating the Queen Mother to death, the Queen became obedient.
The eldest prince is her son, but she is also the queen.
Although the eldest son died, Pojun is still alive.
Even though Pojun is the imperial concubine's son, he still has to call her mother.
The Queen Mother is gone. If Pojun ascends the throne, she will be the Queen Mother...
Judging from the Regent's attitude, he will not show any mercy when killing the royal family.
