Chapter 920 Reversal
When a normal person sees this scene, his first thought would be that Luo Qinghan is the true emperor, blessed by God, and is therefore invulnerable to swords and knives.
But Luo Yanzhi felt that Luo Qinghan must have used some shameful magic.
He was filled with fear and trepidation, and asked in a timid tone.
"What kind of magic did you use?!"
Luo Qinghan swung his sword in his backhand and it hit the sword in Luo Yanzhi's hand hard.
The weapons collided, making a crisp clanging sound!
Luo Yanzhi couldn't bear the force anymore and loosened his fingers subconsciously, causing the sword to be swept away and land in the yard.
He covered his numb wrist and looked at Luo Qinghan with a mixture of fear and jealousy.
Not only can Luo Qinghan be named the crown prince and inherit the throne, he can even use this kind of incredible magic.
And he had nothing.
Obviously, they are all sons of Emperor Sheng Yong, and his background is obviously better than Luo Qinghan's.
Why is he inferior to Luo Qinghan in every way? !
Why is God so unfair to him? !
The other assassins took the opportunity to attack Luo Qinghan's vital points.
However, their swords were blocked by an invisible barrier and could not advance an inch.
They were all shocked by this incredible turn of events.
If they hadn't experienced it themselves, they wouldn't believe it if you told them about it.
Because of the fear in their hearts, the assassins' movements involuntarily slowed down a little.
Luo Qinghan seized this opportunity and killed the two assassins who were blocking his way. Then he grabbed Eunuch Chang's shoulders and jumped off the roof using his lightness skills.
At the same moment they landed, Zhao Xian and his guards rushed over.
The situation reversed instantly!
Seeing this, Luo Yanzhi, who was about to chase, immediately stopped and gave orders to the assassins.
"Stop them now!"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the assassins were unwilling to take any more risks and turned around and fled.
No one cared about Luo Yanzhi anymore.
Luo Yanzhi was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
He used his hands and feet to climb over the roof, slid down along the eaves, and landed in the backyard.
There was already someone waiting in the backyard to meet the demand.
Luo Yanzhi followed the man and fled quickly.
At this time, Luo Yanzhi was panting, looking terrified and in a miserable state, without any trace of the demeanor of a prince or nobleman he once was.
Zhao Xian left some people to protect the emperor, and personally led a large group of troops to pursue Luo Yanzhi.
Luo Qinghan was not worried at all that Luo Yanzhi would escape.
Today, the entire Taimiao was surrounded by soldiers from the patrol office. Xiao Lingfeng led his team to guard outside. Unless divine soldiers descended from the sky, Luo Yanzhi had no chance of escaping from the Taimiao.
What follows is a game of cat and mouse.
The imperial guards led by Zhao Xian were the cats, while Luo Yanzhi and his accomplices were the mice.
The rats ran around in the Temple of Heaven, trying to find a way to escape.
The Taimiao, which was quiet and peaceful in the past, has become extremely lively today.
Luo Qinghan ignored the rats that were gradually being forced into a desperate situation.
He decided to go and see the Empress Dowager.
There is a place in the Imperial Temple that no one dares to enter casually——
That is the Yongning Hall where the tablets of the Luo family’s ancestors are placed.
The Empress Dowager and Princess Hua'an hid here.
In front of them, dozens of tablets were quietly placed, each of which represented an emperor.
Green smoke curls up from the incense table.
There are dozens of portraits hanging on the walls on both sides, all of which are portraits of emperors of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
The Great Sheng Dynasty respected dark black as the main color, and the emperor's formal dress was also mainly dark black.
Every emperor in the portrait is wearing a solemn and dignified black dragon robe with gold patterns.
They either stood with their hands behind their backs or sat upright.
If you look closely, you can see some similarities in their facial features.
That is the attraction from blood.
The anxious Princess Hua'an knelt on the cushion and prayed to their ancestors to protect them from this disaster.
When she looked up, she saw the Empress Dowager standing in front of the last portrait.
The person painted in that portrait was Emperor Sheng Yong.
That is, the Empress Dowager's son.
Next to the portrait are the dragon robes and armor once worn by Emperor Sheng Yong.
They stand here quietly.
Through them, the Empress Dowager seemed to see her son, and a look of sadness appeared on her old face.
Princess Hua An couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what should we do now?"
It was a long time before she heard the voice of the Empress Dowager.
"I don't know either."
There were footsteps outside, and those footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Princess Hua'an immediately stood up and looked towards the door nervously.
After a moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Luo Qinghan walked in, followed closely by Eunuch Chang.
Others were left outside.
The young and handsome emperor had just experienced an assassination attempt, but he was terrifyingly calm at this moment. There was no scar on his body from head to toe, and his breathing was as steady as usual.
There is absolutely no sign of joy or anger.
The moment Princess Hua'an saw him, her heart was gripped with grief.
She spoke with a trembling voice, trying to explain herself.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just deceived by them."
Luo Qinghan didn't even look at her.
His eyes fell directly on the Empress Dowager.
Because the Empress Dowager ran in such a hurry, she was still wearing a loose light-colored middle-length coat with a large dark-colored outer coat on the outside. Her long hair was scattered behind her, with a lot of white hair mixed in with her black hair, which made the wrinkles on her face more prominent.
She looked at the young emperor who came in glory, her old face twitched slightly, as if she wanted to curse at him, but in the end she only uttered a simple sentence.
"I underestimated you."
Luo Qinghan stopped two feet away from her.
He said coldly: "Empress Qin also said something similar."
The Queen Mother: "So she died, and I will follow in her footsteps, right?"
Luo Qinghan remained silent, his dark eyes were like a cold pond, deep and bottomless.
The Empress Dowager looked at the tablets and spoke word by word.
"In front of our ancestors, I will ask you one last time, was it you who ordered Concubine Xiao to kill the late emperor?"
Luo Qinghan: "No."
The Queen Mother stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you dare to swear?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly, "If I instigated Concubine Xiao to murder the late emperor, I will die a miserable death."
The Empress Dowager's eyes widened slightly.
She looked at the young emperor in front of her in disbelief.
He actually dared to swear an oath!
The Empress Dowager stared at his face for a long time, but could not see any signs of lying or guilt.
What he said seemed to be true.
He really didn't murder Emperor Sheng Yong!
This result was beyond the Empress Dowager's expectations.
Because she was too excited, her voice trembled violently and all the words she spoke were out of tune.
"Since you have never attempted to murder the late emperor, why did you refuse to give me a direct answer when I questioned you before?"
Luo Qinghan responded calmly: "Because I want to see who is trying to sow discord between us as grandparents and grandchildren? Now the result is out, it's Luo Yanzhi."
