966 Dead life, death of the emperor
According to the funeral system, Qiu Lushuang's body was laid to rest in the palace for five days, and the funeral was only carried out after receiving condolences from relatives, friends, colleagues and subordinates from all parties.
Although it was the height of summer, there was no shortage of ice in the palace, and the mourning hall was replaced day and night with huge ice cubes stored in winter, making the hall cool and refreshing.
Therefore, many people are willing to come to mourn and enjoy the joy of refreshing and chatting with their relatives while witnessing the death of this annoying prince.
The condolence venue, which was supposed to be solemn and heavy, became a gathering place for officials and nobles.
It wasn't until the night before Prince Police's funeral that the emperor personally came to mourn and send his brother on his last journey, that the atmosphere became strict, and no one dared to laugh.
Of course, as Qiu Yexian, he didn't have to come in person, but one of the images he created was "Brother and Friend Brother Gong", how could he not come to see it in person before the funeral of his only surviving brother
Regardless of whether he did this sincerely or falsely, everyone had to routinely praise the emperor for his affection and justice.
Probably because of the "sadness" of his brother's death, Qiu Yexian was dressed in black, not in good condition, and looked a little haggard.
Although it was already late at night, there were dozens of people on guard in the hall and the guests who were mourning, and it did not seem deserted.
Seeing the emperor coming unexpectedly, everyone was immediately startled, and they all stood up and prepared to kneel.
"Ahem, no courtesy" Qiu Yexian shook his head tiredly, and waved his hand again, "I will come and put incense on the second emperor brother and leave, you don't have to be polite." ”
The crowd then bowed in a low-key manner, and stopped talking and acting.
Qiu Yexian waved his hand again, and the guards and servants behind him stopped at the gate, he walked into the hall alone, took a few pillars of incense from the table on the side of the door, lit the incense, walked to the sacrificial platform, put on the incense, and bowed three times.
Then, he walked to the coffin of Autumn Dew and looked at the pale and emaciated man in the coffin.
"Second Emperor Brother," his tone was sad and emotional, and his voice was hoarse with exhaustion, "In the next life, I have come to see you off, and in the next life, we will still be brothers."
In the next life, I will be brothers
Everyone at the scene wanted to laugh, but no one dared to laugh.
Qiu Yexian said it with deep meaning, and even raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Suddenly, at this moment, Qiu Lushuang, who was lying in the coffin, opened her eyes and smiled strangely at him.
How can a dead man laugh
He was so tired that he was hallucinating
He let out an "ah" in shock, blinking and retreating subconsciously.
However, the horrific moment he saw was not a hallucination, but a reality
As soon as he lifted his foot, the dead man in the coffin jumped to his feet, clutching a sword in his hand and slashing at his neck as fast as a meteor.
"Ahh
However, it was too late.
The dead man went from opening his eyes, smiling strangely at him, to jumping up and stabbing at him with the sword hidden beneath him, in the blink of an eye.
Qiu Lushuang has also practiced martial arts since childhood, has rich battles, and her kung fu is not bad.
And he was completely defenseless from the task, just like that, a deep cut was instantly cut in his neck, and blood splattered like fireworks.
This qiē happened so quickly that everyone was stunned, and they couldn't even tell if the picture they were seeing was real or fake.
Qiu Yexian's guards reacted quickly, however, they were more than ten meters away from the coffin, and when they rushed to the emperor's side, the emperor had already fallen down with his neck covered with blood spraying wildly.
"Catch the assassin," reflexively shouted the guards, who were also frightened by the sudden incident, and stabbed at the "dead man" standing in the coffin.
But the "dead man" had already prepared, and immediately threw away his sword as soon as he made a move, and quickly grabbed something from his bosom and threw it at the guards.
The guards were also defenseless, and they were all hit in the face, and one by one they shouted and closed their eyes and retreated.
Taking advantage of this short gap, the "dead man" took out a canister from his bosom and tore off the stopper.
A thick smoke came out and quickly spread.
"The smoke is poisonous" I don't know who shouted, "Everyone cover their noses, run outside, don't inhale the smoke"
The subordinates and the guests came to see the dead, but they did not come to be dead, and when they heard this, they finally came to their senses and rushed out.
After running outside, they remembered shouting: "There are assassins, come and there are assassins, the emperor has been assassinated"
When they were roaring like this, they suddenly realized a problem: if what they saw just now was not an illusion, then the emperor should have been killed
With so much blood spilled, there is no way for the emperor to be saved
In other words, the emperor was stabbed to death, and he was gone
The emperor is gone
Oh my God, oh my God, this is a big thing, it's like a hole suddenly broke in the sky, and the sky and the earth were chaotic in an instant
They weren't prepared at all
They're completely helpless
They couldn't even believe it was like that, it really happened
They, what are they going to do now, how can they not know what to do in the face of such an important and big thing
One by one, they froze, and thousands of wild horses galloped by in their minds, blasting their brains to the "buzz", unable to think clearly and rationally.
The sound of weapons handing over was constantly heard in the hall, and hurried footsteps were heard all around.
These voices converge into a chaotic world.
No one even knew what was going on in the midst of such chaos.
However, many voices came from the smoke-filled condolence hall: "The assassin has been captured, please come in."
The assassin was captured
Really caught
But it's not surprising, there seems to be only one assassin, and with so many guards and minions present, he can't catch an assassin
They, they also reacted too much, but they can't be blamed, even the emperor was killed
Everyone wiped their sweat and walked into the hall tremblingly.
In order to keep the temperature low, the windows in the hall were originally closed, but now they are all open to disperse the smoke.
The smoke quickly cleared, and the view in the hall was much clearer.
After everyone saw the situation in the hall, there was another exclamation.
A man with an extremely delicate face put a sword on the neck of the "assassin", that is, the "police prince" who had come back from the dead, and around the two of them, a group of highly guarded guards had been surrounded, and at the same time, the emperor had fallen to the ground with blood all over the ground, and another group of guards were scrambling to treat his injuries.
"Quick, call the doctor and the imperial doctor, quickly"
Only then did the royal relatives and officials with relatively high status among the guests remember to add: "Immediately send someone to inform the palace, as well as Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion, as well as the prime minister and the Taifu"
As a series of lists that had to be notified came out, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to a person Prince Xing Qiu Liuxue.
Although everyone reacted with a "hurry up and save the emperor", everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor should be hopeless, and now all their actions are just futile and pretentious.
As soon as the emperor died, the question of who would be the emperor immediately followed.
Who else could there be
Of course, it's this Prince Yuki
Although the emperor already has four princes, these four princes are so young, and the mother family is not strong enough, it is impossible to be the emperor
As for Prince Police, everyone turned their attention to the "assassin" whose neck was held against the sword, who was this person
