Chapter Ninety-One: The Assassination

Seeing Su Miao's sword tip approaching, Zhao Yuejiu let out a high-pitched scream, and the body that was still weak enough to fall into the emperor's arms instantly bounced.

Tang Xiaobai was about to step forward to block Su Miao's offensive, but he didn't want to be intercepted by Zhao Yuejiu's jump.

It turned out that she took the initiative to hug Tang Xiaobai's neck in a panic, and the whole person followed suit.

Tang Xiaobai only felt a burst of aroma hitting people, as if he had smelled it somewhere......

In such a stunned manner, Su Miao's sword tip had reached Jing Yuan's heart not far away, and the queen who was about to succeed, but didn't want to stand aside all the time, suddenly rushed up and blocked the emperor with her body.

Su Miao was startled, the tip of the sword deviated by a few inches, and it was all buried in the queen's shoulder, and blood gushed out from the wound in an instant, and after a while, a large area of blood leaked out of the layers of gorgeous clothes.

The emperor was already frightened by the changes in front of him, and it was not until he saw the queen injured and fell that he came back to his senses and screamed, and his throat instantly burst into a voice, sounding like a frightened duck, "Escort - escort ahhh

The queen fell to the ground, struggling and tugging at the corner of the emperor's clothes, and her bloody hand left a clear handprint on his robe, "Emperor...... On ......"

Jing Yuan had already been frightened by the piercing blood, and looked at her expression as if she was looking at a powerful ghost who was asking for her life, and before she could finish speaking, she jumped away with a scream.

"Imperial Doctor - Quick Announcement of Imperial Doctor!!"

"No, woman - grab that woman first!!"

The frightened Imperial Forest Army rushed forward and surrounded Su Miao.

They were surging, and the number of people was constantly increasing, layer by layer, circle by circle, completely surrounding Su Miao.

Each of these people held a long tasseled gun in their hands, and the head of the gun was all aimed at Su Miao.

"Stop!" Jing Yu was stopped on the periphery, and he couldn't see Su Miao's figure inside at the moment, so he could only hurriedly speak out to dissuade him.

But the Emperor shouted, "Kill her! Don't leave her alive! Kill this woman for me at once!"

Noisy.

Confusion.

People turn on their backs.

I don't know who pushed whom.

Or maybe someone stepped on whose heel.

A spear went straight into Su Miao's soft abdomen and stabbed a hole.

......

......

Tang Xiaobai saw the emperor again in the morning two days later.

The ceremony of worshipping the gods on the day of the winter solstice had to be terminated after Su Miao's death, and Zhao Yuejiu only had time to let out a scream when he saw Su Miao's corpse, and then he rolled his eyes and fainted.

After that, the events were a little too chaotic and complicated, so that people could not make sense of it, and they could not remember it clearly.

And now the emperor summoned her to ask in person whether Zhao Yuejiu was a demon.

"There is no demonic aura on the concubine. ”

In front of the ministers, Tang Xiaobai replied loudly.

The emperor on the dragon throne seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the person became more reasonable, pointing at the civil and military officials under His Royal Highness and said angrily, "I just said, the concubine is infatuated with me, the sun and the moon can be seen, how can it be a demon?

The ministers below immediately knelt down, and the prime minister Li Pu, who was the leader, was even more eloquent, earnestly admonishing, "Your Majesty, the concubine and Su Miao are sisters, and their origins are unknown, so you must guard against them." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Don't be unguarded. ”

The ministers echoed one after another, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

"What nonsense!" Jing Yuan slapped the table angrily, "The concubine has already explained to me that she doesn't know what Su Miao is, Su Miao took the initiative to find her before entering the theater, and said that she would change her name together so that she could be sisters!"

Although Zhao Yuejiu's identity is well known to everyone, it is the first time that he has been taken out like this and said to his face. It can be seen that the emperor is really angry this time.

Jing Yuan swept down all the folds that were piled up in front of him asking for the punishment of the concubine's crimes, and the folders jumped and rolled down the steps one after another, rolling in front of the ministers, nakedly proclaiming that not listening or looking at it also belonged to the emperor's sovereignty.

"Who dares to say that the concubine is not good in the future, I will cut off his head first!" Jing Yuan roared angrily, and he jumped like thunder.

He also pointed to Li Pudao, the prime minister who was kneeling at the head of His Royal Highness, "And you! If it weren't for the face of your daughter Li Hao who saved my life that day, I would have dismissed you from my post today and treated you with great disrespect!"

After speaking, he waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Retreat!"

Still unwilling, Li Pu spoke again, "Your Majesty..."

"I said retreat!!" Jing Yuan was so angry that he jumped to his feet, picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it at Li Pu.

The heavy inkstone smashed on the prime minister's head with a muffled sound, and I saw blood mixed with ink slowly flowing down the corner of his forehead.

Lip seemed to be ignorant and insisted, and insisted on continuing to speak to dissuade him.

Seeing this, Jing Yu hurriedly interrupted what Li Pu was about to say next, "Your Majesty, my brother thinks that you can summon, Tang Xiaobai, enter the palace and serve with you." to keep Your Majesty and your concubine safe. ”

This is the rhetoric they discussed in advance, and they planned to wait for the queen to cure the nightmare curse for the emperor in private, and the original intention was to let Xiaobai and Nansui follow Zhao Yuejiu's side, but I didn't expect that the relationship between the emperor and the prime minister was so stiff now, so I had to take this matter out first to solve the siege.

The emperor glanced at Jing Yu and snorted, "That's right." But you don't have to protect the concubine, let's ask her to enter the palace to protect the queen. ”

After that, the emperor glanced meaningfully at Li Pu, who was kneeling on the ground, "Lest some people always come to me for trouble." ”

"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty. Li Pu is neither humble nor arrogant, kowtowing to thanks.

The emperor snorted coldly and walked away.

Seeing his brother leaving, Jing Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Pu.

The wound on his forehead had now formed a blood clot and was no longer bleeding outward.

It's just that the blood and ink marks on his cheeks are still there, and he looks very hurt.

Jing Yu sighed and was silent.

Lip glanced at him, waved his hand, and didn't speak.

A minister came and bowed to Jing Yu, and then mixed with Li Pu, and the two slowly walked towards the outside of the hall.

Jing Yu shook his head, and Tang Xiaobai also walked out of the hall and went down to cure the nightmare spell for Jing Yuan under the leadership of the eunuch.

Jing Yu said worriedly, "Your Majesty, tell you to go and protect the queen." ”

Tang Xiaobai snorted, "It's okay, since you have entered the palace, you can always find a way to get close to the concubine." ”

Besides, now everyone in the palace is suspicious, and Zhao Yuejiu is not the only one who needs to be investigated.

Jing Yu groaned, "That concubine... Really, demonic?"

Tang Xiaobai nodded yes, "But I didn't feel the demonic aura on the person who rescued Su Miao that day, and I don't know if they have any magic weapons to hide the demonic energy, but in addition, there is something suspicious......

She paused, as if recalling, "On the day of the winter solstice sacrifice to the gods, Su Miao assassinated, and when the concubine pounced on me, I smelled her body, that smell... It is the same as the smell of the person who rescued Su Miao at that time. ”
