Chapter 413 is coming
"Why are you so angry? Let the beasts fly or run away, so that they can be caught in the net."
The two sides briefly shared their information, and then the Queen suddenly skillfully took out the special eye drops ordered by the imperial physician from her pocket, and swiftly dropped two drops into her bright eyes.
Then, with a frown and a squeeze of her eyes, tears flowed freely. She then reached out a hand and pulled the emperor back to the bed, where he lay dead, while she took out a handkerchief and wiped her face.
"Wuwuwu, Your Majesty, please wake up! I was bullied in the court today. Wuwuwu, they bullied me, an orphan and a widow, with no one to rely on. My husband, please don't abandon me and the child..."
The emperor also heard the sound of someone coming in the yard, so he quickly lay down again, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
It turned out that a group of important officials of the court were so worried about the emperor's health that they followed the imperial doctors to ask for an audience outside the door.
Who would have thought that just a few steps into the courtyard, I heard the Empress, who had always been strong and decisive, crying so miserably behind her back.
Many people felt a jolt in their hearts instantly. It’s all over. Could it be that the emperor has already... ?
"Quick! Old Joe, hurry in and rescue me!"
It must be said that Prime Minister Ji was an absolutely powerful actor. Before anyone could react, he grabbed the Imperial Physician Qiao and shoved him inside.
Following closely behind him, Duke Lingguo and the Minister of Personnel also took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Prime Minister Ji, blocking the door intentionally or unintentionally.
Lao Jiang raised his hand and wiped his face. The sound of ghosts and wolves howling immediately added a layer of sadness to the already panic-stricken atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, please don't let anything happen to you! Otherwise, I, your humble servant, will have to go on the road with you today. How can I have the face to see the late emperor?"
Lao Qin had always been Lao Jiang's half-brother, and he couldn't bear to see him in trouble, let alone this sad. So, his eyes were red with tears, and his beautiful beard trembled slightly with his lips, trembling with sadness.
"Old Jiang, don't be so pessimistic. The many medical experts in the Imperial Hospital will definitely..."
He definitely won’t say what he knows, but those who know will understand.
This immediately put many people who saw this in their sight at ease! Even the Empress's father and the Emperor's mentor, two old foxes, had messed up the rules, which showed that the Emperor's life was indeed hanging by a thread!
Sure enough, not long after, Imperial Physician Qiao and the former Imperial Physician, Old Master Sun, both came out with pale faces and apologized to the gentlemen.
"Your servants are useless. The Emperor has been poisoned by us and there is no cure for our crimes. Please forgive me, gentlemen!"
Qiao Yunyue was a sincere man, and he hadn't been very good at acting in his life. He hadn't expected that even at the very end of his life, his eccentric nephew, the emperor, would still force him to act according to a script.
He finished what he had to say with a stiff voice and a stiff face, then kowtowed to the ground and refused to look up. There was no other way. If his acting skills were not up to par and the truth was exposed, the emperor would make a fuss and make him die as an apology!
Meanwhile, the old man beside him, Lord Sun, who had spent his entire life among the royal family, was a seasoned stagehand. Therefore, Qiao Yunyue sensibly vacated the stage for him. After all, this scene depended entirely on this old man, who had been temporarily rehired by the Empress, to lead the show!
Everyone saw the old man trembling as he moved toward the door, his gray beard trembling with fear, as if the sky was about to collapse. His cloudy eyes, either from fear or numbness, were filled with a hollow, lifeless look.
A pair of old legs struggled to support the skinny old man, and he staggered thirteen steps to the front of the court officials. He raised his hands weakly, and anyone could see that his weathered face was filled with fatigue and heartache.
"I am old and powerless to save the world. Gentlemen, please..."
He visibly bit the three remaining teeth in his mouth, then turned his head to glance at his son who had already knelt beside him to apologize with the imperial physician. Only then could he force himself to confess the bad news.
"It's better for you to make plans early!"
This old man is a leading figure in the medical field of Dayu. Even he is helpless. This time, the emperor probably has to go find his father, mother, and brother.
Those who thought the situation was settled looked at Prime Minister Ji, and there was a sense of pride in their eyes that could only be understood but not expressed in words.
Well, we can get started.
Yang Keli nodded slightly.
Well, we can get started!
Ji Xun also nodded implicitly in response.
If I fail to use your lives to pave the future of my Ji family this time, I will turn around and hang myself on the crooked tree in front of our ancestral grave!
The several groups with ulterior motives all felt that the situation was stable, so that night the capital became bustling with activity.
Soldiers from an unknown army came into the city in broad daylight under the cover of night, full of murderous intent, and frightened the people in the city so much that they hid in their homes and dared not move.
The less courageous officials who received the news knelt at home, praying to their ancestors for protection. The more courageous, however, gazed anxiously toward the palace, their fists clenching and unclenching, then clenching again. Passion and instinct tore at each other.
The moonlight is silent.
On the quiet streets of the capital, only the newly aristocratic families, both large and small, were busy with their troops. They directly surrounded the imperial city. They didn't even wait for dawn, and led their troops with torches to force the palace.
In front, the military generals of the court led the troops to clear the way, with the Marquis of Lantian, the Marquis of Ji'an and the Marquis of Jingbian taking the lead.
These three families were obviously nobles who had fought with the late emperor through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but in the end they were blinded by the many rights promised by Ji Yunzhi, and were willing to become pawns of others and raised their butcher knives against the descendants of their former master.
Later, the rest of the noble families ordered their men to join the soldiers under General Weiwu in attacking the extremely heavy palace gates.
The wind was cold and the sound of killing was deafening.
Looking at the grand scene in front of him, he thought that he would be able to chop off Li Chengxiu's head with one sword later, and make Jiang Wan, the blind woman, kneel down at his feet completely.
Ji Yunzhi's eyes lit up with excitement, and there was a strange excitement in them under the firelight.
Humph, if you want to laugh, then laugh quickly. I don’t think you will be able to laugh again in a while!
Ji Xun, who was standing far away, looked at the evil creature's smiling face, who knew what he was secretly happy about, with cold eyes as he pinched his fingers under the wide sleeves of his robe.
One, two, three... seventy-seven, seventy-eight, seventy-nine...
"How dare you rebel against the emperor?"
A familiar female voice of cold rebuke rang out from the top of the palace gate wall. Old Ji immediately clenched his fingers into fists and widened his eyes with excitement.
Here we come!
