The flashing of swords and the sound of weapons clashing in the hall seemed to be playing a song called "Slaying".
The Empress outside the palace suddenly spoke up, "Your Majesty, do you want to know how Concubine Zhen died? How about I tell you?"
The emperor was concentrating and ignored it.
The Queen approached the palace gate, raised her voice, and spoke every word with extreme clarity: "During the selection that year, you favored Concubine Xu in order to win over the Xu family. Because of Concubine Xu, you had an argument with Concubine Zhen. Afterwards, you took Concubine Xu to the temporary palace to escape the summer heat, leaving Concubine Zhen in the harem. Naturally, you were afraid that I might harm Concubine Zhen, so you brought me to the temporary palace as well, and even left someone to secretly protect her. But Your Majesty, what's the point? Concubine Zhen is very good at using poison, but you forbid her from using it in the harem, destroying all her poisons. She doesn't know how to fight, so how dangerous would that be?"
The emperor saw the Green Protector's weakness at a glance and was about to stab him with his sword, but when he heard this, his sword slowed down a little.
The green protector dodged instantly.
The emperor's eyes were as gloomy as the devil in the abyss. He took a deep breath and tried to focus on the present.
The Queen recounted the story: "The poison of the Miao family in southern Xinjiang has harmed countless people in the martial arts world! Your Majesty, you know how many people in this martial arts world hate the Miao family. It was all due to my carelessness. I accidentally leaked the news that Concubine Zhen was a descendant of the Miao family to some people in the martial arts world, and accidentally let them into the harem. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes that night, I heard from the spies I planted that Concubine Zhen was pierced all over her body. She crawled on the ground, bleeding all over the ground, and kept calling your name, 'Wen Yu, Wen Yu, where are you, Wen Yu, save me', until she died. But no matter how much she shouted, Your Majesty, you were not there."
Blood surged in his chest, and the emperor's eyes were bloodshot: "Li Ying, you bitch, shut up!"
The Queen laughed, coughing and laughing, her body shaking with laughter: "Your Majesty, what were you doing at that time? Oh, you were making love with Concubine Xu that night."
The emperor was almost crazy: "Ahhh, I will kill you, bitch!"
Seeing this, the Green Guardian thrust his sword at the Emperor. The Emperor dodged, and the sword only narrowly pierced his arm.
The Green Protector did not stay long, he put away his sword and retreated.
The emperor's sword became more and more fierce, carrying murderous intent as he slashed towards the three guardians.
The three Dharma protectors decisively avoided the attack and dodged everywhere.
The Queen looked up at the azure sky above her. "Oh, Your Majesty, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. Do you know why you don't like the Crown Prince?"
She seemed a little tired of standing, so she sat down on the steps in front of the door and asked herself, "Because the prince is not like you. Why is the prince not like you? Because the prince is not your son."
The emperor told himself not to listen to what the witch said, not to listen, not to listen.
But those words clearly entered his ears, causing a storm in his heart.
"You bitch! How could the prince not be my child?"
"That was the case." The Queen muttered to herself as she looked at the bright red bloodstains on the handkerchief. "That was the case. But Your Majesty, you killed him with your own hands, didn't you? Concubine Yan poisoned me to make me have a miscarriage, and it was Your Majesty who went along with it, just like what I did to Concubine Zhen, didn't you?"
The emperor's left hand was struck by a sword, and he grunted, "But didn't your Li family hire the miracle doctor to save your child?!"
"Yes, he was saved." The Queen lowered her eyes, her heart aching. "But after he was born, the miracle doctor examined him and said the poison had spread to all six of his meridians. He could only live for a few days. I thought, since the Emperor dislikes my child so much, I can't let you have your wish."
"In the harem, maids often have affairs with imperial guards and accidentally become pregnant. Coincidentally, I discovered one such maid, hiding in an empty palace, attempting to strangle her child to death."
"Of course, this happened to more than one palace maid. I discovered this several more times. I felt sorry for the children of these palace maids, born in a lowly family. So, I made them the third prince, the seventh prince, and the ninth princess..."
"I've done so much, yet Your Majesty hasn't noticed. It's because you've been so focused on the Fifth Prince, afraid that I might harm him. But don't worry, Your Majesty. I can't bear to sever your bloodline. Your true sons and daughters are still alive. I've arranged for them to leave the palace and find someone to adopt them. I wonder where they are now, and whether they're doing well."
"No, impossible!"
The emperor's sword made the three guardians retreat a few steps.
The situation is not good and he is now in a state of panic.
The emperor asked two secret guards to continue blocking the three protectors. He walked to the side and reached out to take the mask from the black-clothed man's body, trying to use it to block his ears.
His hands were shaking violently and his heart was beating fast.
Every word this vixen spoke was like a sharp sword, piercing him so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
But it was too late. The moment he turned around, a sword changed direction and stabbed directly at his heart.
The emperor subconsciously looked up and found that the man holding the sword had a loyal and foolish face.
The three Dharma protectors were also stunned.
This secret guard just killed so many of them while protecting the emperor!
It turned out to be one of theirs? ?
Seeing that the emperor still had the strength to struggle free, the three men reacted quickly. One of them raised his sword and slashed directly at the other secret guard, while the other two surrounded the emperor directly.
The emperor was already at the end of his strength. He dodged a few attacks and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He subconsciously knelt on the ground.
The three guardians did not dare to take it lightly. They raised their swords and stabbed again and again, fearing that the emperor had some tricks up his sleeve.
The honest and simple-minded secret guard watched from the side, and only walked over when the three guardians stopped.
The three Dharma protectors subconsciously took a step back and looked at the secret guard with some vigilance.
The secret guard walked up to the Green Guardian, looked at the Green Feather Sword in his hand, his eyes shining, and asked, "Are you the Green Guardian?"
Guardian Qing looked at the secret guard and nodded: "Yes."
The secret guard pointed at the sword in his hand and said excitedly: "The young master said in the letter that after the matter is accomplished, your sword will be mine."
