Chapter 442 Okay, I’ll do it right away!
A familiar voice sounded.
The old minister turned around suddenly and saw Bai Wutong walking in gracefully, dressed in the palace dress of the queen, with a magnificent appearance!
"No matter what, the Empress Dowager is not the sinner, only you are! Come!" Bai Wutong immediately gave an order, "Put this man in jail! How dare you slander the Empress Dowager at will? You don't know the difference between high and low! How can you casually interfere with the Emperor's biological mother!"
When the old minister came, he was ready to die. Since Bai Wutong had heard everything, he no longer concealed it. He simply stood up, pointed at Bai Wutong and cursed, spit flying everywhere, "You are clearly plotting rebellion! Since Pangu created the world, in which dynasty has there been any woman in power? A hen crowing at dawn will surely damage the foundation of the country! Now all the civil and military officials in the court are dependent on the Empress. If this is not a plot of rebellion, what is it?"
Bai Wutong looked at him coldly, "Lord Li, the emperor is ill and cannot attend court, so I am temporarily in charge of government affairs. How can I be said to be interfering in government affairs? And you dare to compare me to a traitor? What nonsense!"
"I would rather die than not speak out! Your Majesty is in the prime of life, but you have just gotten sick, and yet you are eager to seize power and join your clique. It is obvious that you are coveting the throne! If the world falls into the hands of a woman, how can I face my ancestors? Today I will die to make my will known. I hope the Queen Mother will wake up and eliminate the root of evil!"
After saying that, he suddenly rushed towards the red pillar!
The palace maids around were horrified.
Bai Wutong didn't even try to stop him.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
The old minister fell to the ground with blood on his forehead, and his life or death was unknown.
Bai Wutong's expression was icy, and he sneered, "Come here, send him to the Heavenly Prison. Tomorrow, tell him that he felt that he said something he shouldn't have said, and he couldn't face the Queen Mother anymore, so he committed suicide in prison! If anyone has any objections, feel free to come to the palace and tell me!"
The palace servant said nothing, but quickly stepped forward and dragged the old minister out.
Even if he doesn't die from hitting his head against the pillar today, he will die in prison tomorrow.
The Queen Mother looked at this scene in silence.
She waited until the ground was cleaned and the smell of blood had dissipated before she finally spoke, "You've gone too far. Being so blatant will only draw curses from the world."
"Empress Dowager, do you think I am afraid of these things? They are all cold-hearted people. If they are afraid, they will not dare to trouble me again in the future. Besides, they will incite the people of the world, so I will not? As long as there is no problem with the memorials I review, no one can say that I am wrong!"
Bai Wutong said this and turned to leave.
The Queen Mother shook her head but said nothing more.
Since she had chosen to stand on Bai Wutong's side from the beginning, it was too late to do anything now...
At some point, dark clouds gathered over the palace walls and it looked like it was going to rain.
But it's true, the rainy season is coming soon, and there will be fewer sunny days in the future.
Bai Wutong, supported by Chan'er, came to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
She went straight to Zhang Chengyan's bed and said, "Your Majesty, you are ill now and cannot handle state affairs. Why don't you let Yunhe come to court as the crown prince, and then I will govern from behind the curtain. What do you think? The world cannot be without a ruler for a day. If you are ill like this, the country of Darong will be in trouble."
Zhang Chengyan's face turned red and he stared at Bai Wutong.
impossible!
He would definitely not allow the crown prince to attend court, let alone allow a woman to rule the country from behind the scenes!
"You..." He only said one word and couldn't speak anymore.
Zhang Chengyan's cheeks twitched and veins on his neck bulged.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't utter another word!
He could clearly speak a few words at the beginning, but why did his condition get worse the more he was treated...
etc!
There is something wrong with the imperial physician!
Zhang Chengyan looked at Bai Wutong again, how could he not understand what was going on!
It must have been her order, because she is the most powerful person in the palace now!
If she was sincere in treating herself, those doctors would never have the chance to do anything!
Zhang Chengyan was filled with regret, wondering why he hadn't seen her evil ambitions before! It's ridiculous that I thought they were truly in love, and even thought that Bai Wutong was the only one in the entire harem who was sincere!
This position of Queen was truly his biggest failure since he ascended the throne!
"Since the emperor doesn't say anything, it means he agrees. I will draft the imperial edict right away." After saying this, Bai Wutong stood up and left without caring about his look.
After the imperial edict was drafted, she personally picked up the jade seal and put the red seal on it!
"Wang Decai, announce the imperial decree."
"My Lady, the Crown Prince hasn't arrived yet..."
"He doesn't have to come."
"Yes..." Wang Decai swallowed his saliva and was about to read the imperial edict when suddenly, a black shadow appeared with a cold light flashing in his hand and rushed straight to Bai Wutong's neck!
It's the secret guard!
Bai Wutong had anticipated this and dodged it.
Although she is now a human, she still has the agility of a raccoon.
But she didn't know any martial arts, so she could only dodge this move.
Bai Wutong took out a token, raised it in the air, and shouted, "Protect the emperor!"
Another black shadow appeared and blocked the secret guard's second killing move!
The two men fought each other in silence.
Wang Decai turned pale with fright. Why were there secret guards around the queen?
When did she bribe him?
No, the Queen shouldn't have any chance to come into contact with the secret guards!
His eyes fell on the token in Bai Wutong's hand, and his pupils constricted.
That is... the token that commands the secret guards!
There are two types of secret guards, one type only looks at the token and not the person. The other type only protects the current emperor without looking at the token.
The emperor usually keeps such a precious thing close to him or puts it in a very secret place. Unexpectedly, Bai Wutong found it!
"Wang Decai, continue reading the imperial edict!"
"yes……"
Wang Decai stammered and finished reading the imperial edict.
Bai Wutong snatched the imperial edict and said, "I accept the order. Starting tomorrow, Yunhe will attend court and I will govern from behind the curtain!"
After saying this, she ignored the secret guards who were still fighting at the scene and entered the inner room. "Your Majesty, you really disappoint me. I have devoted my life to Darong Kingdom and to protecting your kingdom, but you let the secret guards kill me! In this case, I will not be polite anymore. Summon the Imperial Guards, I have something to tell you!"
When Zhang Chengyan heard this, he was so angry that he spit out blood and fell into coma again.
A quarter of an hour later.
The Royal Guards arrived.
"Some secret guards have been bribed and are trying to harm the emperor. I order you to send people to capture all those secret guards immediately! As for how to find them, my people will help you find them."
"This..." The leader of the Imperial Guards looked at Zhang Chengyan who was unconscious on the couch and frowned slightly. "Empress, you may have made a mistake. The secret guards were trained by the royal family and never had contact with outsiders. How could they betray the emperor?"
Bai Wutong took out two tokens, "One is the Imperial Guards token, and the other is the Secret Guards token. The Emperor has handed them over to me. Do you have any objections? Or do you want to disobey his order?"
The leader looked at Wang Decai.
He lowered his head, "That's... the Emperor's order. Although the secret guards are elusive, it doesn't mean that outsiders can't really contact them. Have you forgotten that the Duke of Zhenguo bribed the secret guards and your Imperial Guards?"
The Duke of Zhenguo did not bribe the secret guards at all, but Wang Decai was the chief eunuch beside the emperor, and many people believed what he said.
Bai Wutong spoke again, "Before the emperor became seriously ill, he had already written an imperial edict. If anything happens, the crown prince will come to court temporarily. The imperial edict is here."
She took out the imperial edict.
It’s the one I just wrote.
But the date below was a year ago.
Now that he had the imperial edict, the red seal of the imperial jade seal, and the two tokens, even Wang Decai had said so, the leader of the Imperial Guards could no longer disobey the order.
Who made the emperor unconscious now...
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
