Chapter 409: Unknown Life and Death
The imperial guards first surrounded the emperor, keeping a tight guard.
The guards of the East Palace were not allowed to enter the banquet. Bei Jingchu was only accompanied by the secret guards and the two commanders Lei and Jiang.
The emperor shouted in panic: "Divide two groups of people to protect the Queen Mother and the Prince!"
Smart people like Bei Yanyu and Bei Jingyu have already jumped to Bei Jingchu's side, but Bei Jingchu just wants to scold the two idiots.
My grandfather, didn’t he see that the assassination was aimed at her and the emperor?
In fact, the area around her was the worst-hit area!
Why do these two fools think that the most dangerous place is the safest place???
She didn't have time to curse, so she roughly pressed the two children between herself and the table, making them squat like mushrooms.
The assassin's target was not only the father and daughter, but also several ministers were shot by arrows.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that they were all dealing with people who had made great contributions among the noble families.
Seeing that the emperor had enough guards around him, those who had some skills among the royalists and the Eastern Palace went to protect the ministers who were powerless against the nobles.
Concubine Xian pulled Concubine Gui to avoid the stray arrows.
The chaos was quickly stopped. Those who took action were all members of the exterminated family. No one knew who had planted them among the envoys and caught them off guard with hidden arrows and muskets.
There are not many who are good at fighting, and most of them are like Bei Yanyu who grew up being delicate.
During an assassination, the secret guard is closest to his master.
Bei Jingchu was just preparing to see how the emperor would arrange the situation after the chaos, but his eyes suddenly widened.
The pupils contracted sharply, and the extremely fast movements were slowed down infinitely, but due to the long distance, the body could not keep up with the movements of the brain.
A long knife stabbed into his chest.
Aye...
Yan Bo smiled.
"Since I'm going to die anyway, I'll avenge my son."
He then committed suicide by slitting his own throat.
There is no way to save the situation.
Another secret guard beside him wanted to stop him, but as the leader of the secret guards, his speed when he was not sick was far beyond the reach of the people behind him.
After a moment of extreme silence, a sharper scream rang out.
For the first time, the Queen Mother's still young voice began to sound old, and she called out in a mournful voice, "Heng'er!"
Bei Jingchu waved her hand and pushed through the crowd.
Bei Heng was already unconscious. When he saw her coming, he held his breath and told the people around him:
"If so, I will die today and the Crown Prince will immediately take over the throne!"
"While I was unconscious, the Crown Prince was in charge of the country. He could summon me without restriction and all government orders were the same as if I were in person..."
After saying this, he closed his eyes.
This was not the first time that Bei Jingchu had to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. She knew it was a serious matter and had no time to worry.
He quickly calmed down and summoned the imperial physician to carry the emperor down.
The Queen Mother also went along to see the people.
Everyone who could leave had left, and Yan Bo's body was also taken away.
She controlled the delegation and did not allow anyone to leave the hall.
Standing alone at the top, he asked, "Today, the diplomatic corps came to pay tribute, but an assassin sneaked in."
"Do you want to join forces to declare war on Dai Viet?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers who were originally restless immediately felt more determined.
The worries about the monarch and the suspicion of rebellion by the secret guards turned into hatred for foreign enemies.
A group of envoys were isolated and helpless in the palace, thinking they were going to be killed by their eyes.
If it weren't for the prohibition of insolence in the palace, it would have been torn to pieces by the angry ministers long ago.
If it wasn't for their delegation's negligence, how could those assassins have sneaked in!
The delegations that had no one planted in their territory were relieved, and looking at the small countries that had suffered, they knew that this had already foreshadowed their future.
The implicated delegations spoke in unison, protesting their innocence in their not-so-fluent Vietnamese-Korean, saying that they were also unaware of the incident.
At this moment, Bei Jingchu didn't care whether they did it on purpose or not, because because of their negligence, her father, the monarch of the Yue Dynasty was still in a coma and her life or death was unknown.
The excuse to go out on a mission just happened to be delivered to her door, how could she let it go!
He immediately ordered: "Take away all the participants for interrogation. If nothing is revealed by tomorrow, all of them will be killed."
"Send the emperor's order, mobilize the tiger talisman, assemble the army, and attack the villains who are plotting to harm our emperor..."
Bei Jingchu paused as he spoke: "I'm issuing a challenge."
The voice is soft, but powerful enough.
The envoys who understood were about to faint, regretting over and over again why they did not pay more attention when they checked.
Because before the emperor fell into a coma, he clearly ordered the prince to supervise the country, Bei Jingchu quickly took over and pacified everyone, and there was no chaos in the Yue Dynasty.
The fact that the secret guards had stabbed the emperor was kept secret, and the blame was entirely placed on the envoy.
Instead, it gave them a morale of being unstoppable and not returning until the foreign enemies were defeated.
