Chapter 263 Why was he assassinated? Women and the Country
The setting sun dyed the sky blood red.
Ji Qingwu ran all the way from Qianyuan Hall to the palace gate, and she saw the shadows of the carriage and horses returning from afar.
They did not leave in such a large group as when they did, but instead sent back a small group of people.
Ji Qingwu clenched his fists and his lips trembled slightly. He was eager to see Emperor Wu Su, but as he watched the emperor's carriage moving forward, his feet seemed to be fixed to the ground, unable to move.
Her heart was so flustered that she couldn't even tell the beat.
Ji Qingwu suddenly felt very scared and timid, afraid of seeing bad scenes...
Duan Mingfeng was leading the way in front. Ji Qingwu adjusted his breathing and took a few steps forward.
Duan Mingfeng had already seen the woman in dark green clothes waiting at the palace gate. His face was as gloomy as charcoal, heavy and depressed.
Ji Qingwu saw that he had no injuries on his body, nor did it look like he had ever been in a fight.
She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, and asked, "Master Duan, is it..."
Duan Mingfeng frowned and said, "Miss Ji Wu, it is more important for you to go to the palace and ask the imperial doctors for a consultation first."
Ji Qingwu's gaze shifted to the frame of the car behind him.
The curved beams with gold-carved and hanging clouds and the curtains made of green satin with gold cloud leaves were draped from the top of the chariot to the chariot box, making it impossible to see the status of the people inside.
Before anyone could react, Ji Qingwu quickly ran towards the imperial chariot.
As her hand just touched the curtain, she was stopped by the imperial guards at the side, and her hand grabbed nothing.
There was only a curtain between her and him.
Ji Qingwu said earnestly, "I understand medical knowledge. Can you let me go up and see how His Majesty's injuries are?"
Two silver spears were placed across her neck, preventing her from moving forward an inch.
She turned her head and found that the person riding on the big chestnut horse was Lu Juan.
Ji Qingwu said hurriedly: "I know medical skills, Lord Lu and Lord Duan can testify to this. I don't want to do anything else, I just want to check on your majesty's injuries."
Lu Juan's face was filled with worry, and he said without a trace of smile: "Fifth sister, please move aside first and let the convoy enter the palace."
Ji Qingwu's eyes were filled with tears, and he said anxiously: "We can't delay curing the disease and saving lives, we can't waste time now."
At this moment, the curtain embroidered with golden clouds was brushed aside by a hand.
Ji Qingwu immediately looked up and saw a woman's hand painted with nail polish.
A woman's unhappy voice was heard from the imperial chariot.
"You bastards! Don't you know what's more urgent right now? Someone, take her away quickly and send the emperor back to Zhaoyang Palace."
This voice...is from Concubine Wei who is accompanying Emperor Wu Su.
After the curtain was opened a little, the light in Ji Qingwu's eyes suddenly disappeared.
Because she smelled a strong smell of blood coming from inside, mixed with a faint scent of ambergris.
He was really seriously injured and in critical condition.
Before the imperial guards could follow her orders and come to pull Ji Qingwu away, she retreated first. No one could see how she pulled the tall imperial guard off his horse.
Ji Qingwu intercepted a horse, climbed onto it and rode away.
No one knew where she was going.
The carriage continued to drive towards the Phoenix Palace.
*
Zhaoyang Palace.
The Empress Dowager, Prince Yong, Princess Huachang, Princess Qingyun and others were in the accompanying troops. They were slower and had just made it back to the palace.
When they reached the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, they saw basins of blood being carried out from the palace one after another.
Seeing such a bloody scene, Princess Huachang almost fell down. It was only with the help of Prince Yong that she was able to stand firmly.
"Royal sister, be careful."
On the way back, she had already cried a lot and her eyes were red and swollen. Princess Huachang pushed Prince Yong aside and walked into the palace first.
He saw a crowd of imperial doctors kneeling in the hall, and a gauze curtain was hung in front of the dragon bed in the inner hall.
Wei Ting was standing outside the curtain. In his hand was an imperial edict written by the emperor himself, which restored him to his post as General Zhenbei and put him in charge of the palace's security when the emperor was not in the palace.
The director of the Imperial Hospital was nearly 70 years old. He knelt beside the dragon bed and cleaned the wound for the emperor.
Princess Huachang saw Yuan Heng standing in the corner and called him to come over.
Asked: "How is the situation?"
Wei Ting glanced at the Queen Mother who had just entered the room, and whispered in her ear: "Replying to the Princess, Doctor Chen is inside, but the situation is not good. Please prepare yourself mentally."
Princess Huachang was obviously pregnant. She held her lower back and sat down, returning to her cold attitude.
He pretended to be calm and said, "Good people will be blessed by heaven. The emperor will be fine."
The Empress Dowager, Prince Yong, and Princess Qingyun all sat down in the outer room, waiting for the result inside.
Half an incense stick of time passed.
Chen Yuanzheng and Wei Liru came out together, and the Queen Mother glared at Concubine Wei.
He said, "Doctor Chen, how is the emperor doing?"
Chen Yuanzheng knelt on the ground and said, "The arrow wound your emperor received was too close to his heart. His pulse is now extremely weak. This old minister has used up all his life's knowledge and can only maintain it for a short time. It is hard to say what will happen next."
It’s hard to say, which means it’s hard to say whether we can see the sun tomorrow.
Wei Ting had never seen Emperor Wu Su so weak, and he felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart.
They had planned everything carefully in advance, so why did the accident happen and where did the problem occur?
He stared and asked, "What happened?"
Wei Liru burst into tears before she could even say a word.
"It's all my fault... If the emperor hadn't saved me, he wouldn't have... The emperor wouldn't have been injured so badly."
Why is it to save her?
Seeing his sister crying with her face covered, Wei Ting couldn't explain what had happened, so he turned to ask Eunuch Li who was standing quietly beside him.
"How exactly was the emperor assassinated?"
Li Yuzong's old face was full of tears, and he said sadly: "The imperial guards are encircling and suppressing the assassins, and the emperor is on the higher slope."
"But suddenly two assassins on horseback appeared in front of us, and one of them had... Concubine Wei tied to her."
Li Yuzong paused for a moment, and said with tears in his old eyes: "Your Majesty had already raised the Xuanyuan Bow, but he put it down."
At this critical moment, if you miss any opportunity, you will lose your life.
The Queen Mother and the others only knew that the Emperor was assassinated, but they didn't know why. Now they knew it was because of her.
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Wei, pointed at her and said angrily: "You are a beauty who brings disaster! If anything happens to the Emperor, you will die with him!"
Princess Huachang raised her head through the veil and saw the figure lying on the dragon bed with a frown on her face.
Wei Ting was speechless for a long time. He did not expect Emperor Wu Su to be able to do this.
If the situation were reversed, women and the country...
With a loud bang!
Suddenly, there was a sound of something heavy falling outside the palace gate.
Xiao Dongzi, standing at the door, looked at the dazed woman in front of him with heartache.
"Ms. Ji..."
Ji Qingwu picked up the brocade bag that had just fallen to the ground as if nothing had happened.
But this time she didn't just barge in, but asked a question first.
"I should be able to go in, right?"
Princess Huachang heard the noise and stood up eagerly, saying loudly, "Please come in!"
