Chapter 895: The Critical Moment
However, at three o'clock, Su I entered the deer but did not arrive on time, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Nakatomi Kamazu and Soga Ishikawa Maro glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a burning look, and the empress's face turned pale and looked a little nervous.
Kim Jin-deok, the special envoy of the Silla queen Kim Sun-deok, really came to negotiate cooperation with the Japanese slave state to jointly fight against the Tang Dynasty, and she did not know that the empress and others were going to stage a coup d'Γ©tat here. Although she knew the status of Su Irilu in the Japanese slave country, the empress of the Japanese slave country and the middle minister Kamazu and others were not so nervous.
She asked, "Your Majesty, is something wrong?" β
The empress's face stiffened, and she smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, it's just that it's at the appointed time, and the minister hasn't arrived yet, so it's a bit rude." β
Nakazu Kamazu also said: "The minister may have delayed something, please understand." I'm going to go out and have a look. With that, he stood up and was about to go out.
At this moment, the Empress's personal maid came in and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down. β
"What is he doing here?" Except for Kim Jindeok, everyone else was full of doubts.
"Could it be that Su I heard something in the deer and asked him to inquire about the news?" The eldest brother and prince who were hiding in the side room were also worried.
The crown prince is called the eldest brother of the ancients, he is the half-brother of the eldest brother of the prince, and his mother is the daughter of Su I Mazi, so he is also the cousin of Su I Irilu. Although he is the crown prince, he is supported by Su Ijinlu, so except for the last court, he rarely walks around with the empress, and he basically never comes to the empress's bedroom.
He suddenly appeared here, looking a little weird.
After the eldest brother of the ancients came in, the empress asked, "Why did you come here today, is there something wrong?" β
The eldest brother of the ancients, the prince, said: "I was at the gate of Fujiwara Palace just now, and I met Su Irilu, and he asked me to come over. He said, "There are important things for me to be responsible for." β
The empress asked, "Where are the others?" β
The eldest brother of the ancients, the prince, said: "It's in front of the gate of the harem, I'll go and call him over." As he spoke, he said to Kim Jindeok, "Is this the envoy of the Silla Kingdom?" β
Nakatomi Kamazu introduced them.
The eldest brother of the ancients, the prince, said, "Please wait a moment. With that, he walked outside.
Zhongchen Kamazu was worried that the eldest brother of the ancients, the prince, had seen something, and wanted to follow him to explain to Su Iru. He hurriedly said, "I'll accompany His Highness to pick up the minister." With that, he walked out with the eldest brother of the ancients, the prince.
At this time, the empress, the eldest brother and the prince were worried about what would happen.
Zhongchen Kazuzu was also worried in his heart, and he broke out in a cold sweat as he walked.
When I arrived at the gate of the harem, I saw that Su I had already walked in, and the heart of the middle minister suddenly settled down.
It turned out that Su I was not suspicious, the reason why he was delayed was because he met the eldest brother of the ancients in front of the gate, he was too busy every day, and hoped to hand over the affairs of dealing with the Silla Kingdom to the eldest brother of the ancients, and at the door he introduced the relevant situation to the eldest brother of the ancients, so he delayed the time.
Although Su I was not suspicious, he instinctively added caution, and he asked the eldest brother of the ancients to go first to take a look, and then speak.
As usual, Su I entered the deer, going out with 50 subordinates, followed by four swordsmanship masters. When he arrived at the palace, 50 subordinates could not enter, so he came to the harem with four guards, and he could only enter the harem alone, so he waited at the door for the news of the eldest brother of the ancients.
However, he had been to the harem many times before, and he was used to it, and he didn't expect that there would be any danger in the harem, so he came in alone without waiting for the eldest brother of the ancients to come back.
Seeing the eldest brother of the ancients, the prince and the middle minister, Kamazu, he asked, "How many Silla people are there?" β
The eldest brother of the ancients, the prince, said, "There is only one woman, and she is the sister of Queen Silla. β
Su I was more relieved to enter the deer, and the three of them walked towards the empress's bedroom together.
Su I entered the deer and the ancients eldest brother and prince walked side by side, and the middle minister followed behind them, seeing the sword on Su I's waist, he wondered how not to let him bring it in.
Soon they came to the door of the empress's dormitory, and the retainer Kamazu stopped Su I into the deer, and he said, "Minister, please don't go in with your sword." β
Su Irulu asked vigilantly, "Why?" "He was allowed to wear a sword into the palace by the empress, and he used to wear a sword when he came.
The minister Kamazu said: "Your Majesty allowed you to enter the palace with a sword, which is your honor, but today is to meet the envoys of the Silla Kingdom, and you enter the palace with a sword, in their eyes, it seems that something is inappropriate." β
After speaking, he said to the eldest brother of the ancients, the prince: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you said yes, right?" β
What the minister said makes sense, the palace of any country will not allow the courtiers to enter with swords. The Japanese slave country is used to it, and it is indeed a little inappropriate in the eyes of outsiders.
The eldest brother of the ancients, the prince, also felt that Zhongchen's words were reasonable, but he was afraid that Su I would enter the deer, so he just looked at Su I into the deer with an inquiring gaze.
Su Irilu already knew that the envoy of the Silla Kingdom was a woman, and he felt that there was nothing, so he untied his sword and handed it to a chamberlain outside the palace.
In the living room, the empress sits on the throne, and below it are two rows of seats, the first position on the left is Kim Jin-deok, the queen's envoy of the Silla Kingdom, the right position is the eldest brother of the ancients, the prince and the prince, behind him is Soga Ishikawa Maro, and then the Nakatomi Kamazu.
The empress said a few words, and then asked Soga Ishikawa Maro to read the letter of Kim Seon-deok, the queen of Silla.
The eldest brother and prince took advantage of Su I's back to the door of the living room, and quietly entered the living room with two killers, hiding behind the column, they didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered by Su Ilu.
Soga Ishikawa Maro was afraid in his heart, and when he was reading the national book, his body trembled involuntarily, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he wiped his sweat while stumbling and reading the national book of Silla.
Su I felt a little strange in the deer, and was just about to open his mouth to ask, but the empress was worried that Su I was alert in the deer, so she spoke first: "Ishikawa Ma Lu Aiqing, you were sick yesterday and your body has not recovered, so I will come to you today and work for you." β
Su Ishikawa Maro also felt that he was too nervous, so he hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead again, and said, "Thank you for Your Majesty's care, the minister is no longer in trouble." β
He calmed down, and then he was much calmer.
After reading the national letter, Soga Ishikawa Maro returned to his seat.
Then, Su I entered the deer and talked to Kim Jinde about specific matters. The Empress interjected from time to time, causing Soga to talk to her.
Su I'm a strong martial artist, although he doesn't have a sword, but once he is on guard, it will be difficult to subdue him even with his bare hands.
According to the plan, it is to attract the attention of Soga Irilu by the empress, and then attack by Soga Ishikawa Maro, who is sitting behind Soga Irishi, even if you can't stab Su Irilu at once, you can stab him, and everyone can do it.
The empress kept creating opportunities for Soga Ishikawa Maro to turn her back to Soga Ishikawa Maro, but Soga Ishikawa Maro didn't move for a long time, he was really scared and didn't dare to make a move.
Time passed minute by minute, and I saw that there was almost nothing to say to Kim Jindeok.
The eldest brother couldn't wait any longer, so he took a spear and quietly touched forward with two killers.
The empress hurriedly cooperated, and kept asking questions to Su I.
"Dangchang."
Suddenly, a screeching voice sounded in the main hall.
