There was nothing hurtful.

This answer was like a basin of ice water splashed on his head, and Emperor Taixiang only felt cold in his heart, and the cold air was bubbling from the inside out.

The arrow, he could feel its temperature as long as he closed his eyes.

The arrow grazed him, and the cold was terrible, and then it disappeared like a firework.

What kind of arrow was that, and who shot it?

Without asking for an answer, Emperor Taixiang was shocked to find that he was the only one who noticed the arrow, and he was the only one who noticed the eyes.

It was as if the arrow had never existed, and neither did the murderer of the Empress Dowager.

The cause of the Empress Dowager's death ended externally with a cold after appreciating the lanterns, and the imperial doctors were convened internally for consultation, although the imperial doctors found that the Empress Dowager Yang had a bruise on her head, but they did not dare to publicize it because the Jinlanwei and other departments did not even find the murder weapon.

What's more, even if the evidence is conclusive, even if the Empress Dowager was assassinated on the Lantern Festival to enjoy the lanterns, if the murderer is caught, it will also be kept secret, otherwise it will cause people all over the world to follow suit, which will be very bad.

The funeral of the Empress Dowager was carried out in an orderly manner under the coordination of the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites, but the palace was full of gloomy clouds.

Emperor Taixiang was completely frightened, as soon as he closed his eyes, the cold and shining arrow shot at his face, and then those cold eyes.

"Champion Hou, Xuan Champion Hou enters the palace!" Emperor Taixiang sweated profusely and shouted with all his might.

Soon, the will of the champion Hou into the palace was sent to the champion Hou's mansion.

Shao Mingyuan temporarily left the attendant in the flower hall and comforted Qiao Zhao: "Don't worry about me, I'll go and go back." ”

Qiao Zhao grabbed Shao Mingyuan's sleeve, but he was a little uneasy: "Tingquan, could it be that the palace has noticed something?"

She was confident in Shao Mingyuan's ability to solve troubles, but she didn't expect him to directly attack the Empress Dowager.

Before that, Shao Mingyuan did not tell her about the assassination of the Empress Dowager, and only confessed to her after the fact.

I have to say, this man is too bold.

"No, it won't. Shao Mingyuan chuckled lightly and stroked Qiao Zhao's cheek affectionately, "Rest assured and wait for me to come back." ”

"Hmm. Qiao Zhao nodded, and relaxed because of the other party's determined attitude.

He said he would come back safely, and she believed it.

Shao Mingyuan patted Qiao Zhao's hand again, turned around and walked out.

The waiter who was waiting in the flower hall immediately stood up: "Master Hou, let's go." ”

There were still snowflakes outside, and the north wind was bitterly cold.

Shao Mingyuan exhaled lightly and rushed to the palace with the attendants.

"Your Majesty, the champion has arrived. ”

Emperor Taixiang, who was sitting in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't wait to say, "Xuan Champion Hou come in!"

After a while, Shao Mingyuan walked in and saluted: "Weichen has seen the emperor." ”

Emperor Taixiang looked directly at Shao Mingyuan for a long time, and then said, "Wei Wuxie, move a chair for Champion Hou." ”

"Thank you to the emperor for the seat. ”

Emperor Taixiang looked at the young man with a calm face and was silent for a long time.

Shao Mingyuan sat upright, like a green pine.

After a long time, Emperor Taixiang spoke: "Master Hou, last night...... I panicked last night......"

He looked pitifully at the young man in front of him, wanting to get some comfort from him.

The man opposite raised his eyes as he wished, and smiled slightly.

Those eyes were beautiful, like the finest gems, without the slightest impurity, but cold without a trace of temperature.

Emperor Taixiang slammed his face, his face turned pale instantly, and he knocked over the teacup in his hand in a panic.

Wei Wuxian silently cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, suppressing the doubts in his heart.

Emperor Taixiang stood up and stared at Shao Mingyuan with wide eyes and horror.

Shao Mingyuan's face was still calm, and he stood up as Emperor Taixiang got up, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, the emperor, Weichen will do his best to protect you." ”

Emperor Taixiang seemed to be fished out of the water, his forehead was already drenched in cold sweat, and he said weakly: "Yes, with the words of the Hou Ye, I will be relieved......"

Facing the handsome man with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Emperor Taixiang only felt dizzy in front of him, and he couldn't say anything more, so he hurriedly sent the person away and collapsed and sat back on the chair.

Wei Wuxian brought a warm soft towel to wipe Emperor Taixiang's forehead: "Your Majesty, the slave will help you lie down." ”

Emperor Taixiang shook his head and buried his entire body in the wide dragon chair, his eyes glazed.

Wei Wuxian couldn't guess the change in Emperor Taixiang's mood, so he had to wait carefully.

After a suffocating silence, Emperor Taixiang glanced at Wei Wuxian and asked, "Wei Wuxie, what kind of person do you say Champion Hou is?"

Champion Hou?

As soon as he heard the emperor ask about Shao Mingyuan, Wei Wuxian immediately cheered up his spirits.

He has a common secret with Champion Hou and Zhang Tianshi, and he has to answer this question carefully.

"The slave maid has not had much contact with the champion Hou, but I feel that the champion Hou is a person with great perseverance, and the peace of our northern land cannot be separated from him. ”

"Great perseverance?" Emperor Taixiang muttered these words, his face becoming paler and paler.

Great perseverance, does this mean that once he offends him, he will rely on his extraordinary perseverance to find someone to settle accounts?

Thinking of those eyes that were as calm as the stars, Emperor Taixiang's back was cold, as if all his strength had been drained.

Qiao Zhao waited in the flower hall, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the next person reported that "the general is back" and got up to greet him.

"Why are you waiting outside?" Shao Mingyuan strode over, grabbed Qiao Zhao's hand and walked into the house.

"What did the emperor say to you?"

Shao Mingyuan thought back to Emperor Taixiang's appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "I probably feel afraid, so find peace of mind from me, after all, I am strong in martial arts." ”

"Seriously. Shao Mingyuan's relaxation infected Qiao Zhao, and she slapped him with a smile.

"This is serious, the emperor did come to me and said this. ”

As for the strange appearance shown by Emperor Taixiang later, Shao Mingyuan felt that there was no need to mention it.

He was not afraid that Emperor Taixiang would speculate about the death of the Empress Dowager, and even deliberately left an impression on the emperor the moment he shot the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Taixiang is different from other emperors, although he inherited the unification, he has never been cultivated as a prince, and he has not even seen the face of the emperor a few times, and he is a cowardly person by nature.

And such a person has lived and died several times, and the fear of death is far beyond ordinary people, and when he finds the threat too tricky, he has more options to escape and compromise.

He hopes to use the death of the Empress Dowager to force the emperor to put away his murderous intentions towards his wife, and if this shot still can't protect his wife, then he doesn't care about going further.

Of course, he was not willing to go down that path until he had to.

No matter whether it rises or falls, as long as the war is together, it will always be the suffering of the people.

The funeral of the Empress Dowager was very grand, but Emperor Taixiang fell ill at this time, and when the spring flowers bloomed, he was bedridden.
