Chapter 118: The Emperor Dies

"Surround the prison, and no one can enter or leave without an order."

The commander of the forbidden army ordered in a deep voice, his rough face was heavy, the emperor was stabbed under his escort, he was also a dead end, and the most important thing now is to quickly ask the imperial doctor, notify the courtiers, and control the people present.

If the emperor has three long and two short, I am afraid that this twilight city will be turned upside down.

Fu Yiran looked at the emperor who kept vomiting blood in a trance, his eyes squinted and trembled, as if he would close at any time, and his trembling fingertips seemed to be stretched out in her direction, but he was powerless to lift them.

Fu Yingran had a very bad premonition, and her intuition must be out of the current situation immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to get out in the future.

She just thought about it for a while, and suddenly a red shadow flashed in front of her, and before she could react, the whole person was picked up and ran out of the forbidden army.

The sudden appearance of the red figure also shocked the forbidden army, and Qi Qi surrounded him, but the man had already found a way out, and at some point he was pierced through a big hole in the roof of the prison, and a hemp rope fell in the air.

The man in red carried the ambush and fled neatly along the hemp rope from the big hole.

The commander of the forbidden army looked at the hole and slashed at the doorpost of the cell next to him, and organized people to quickly chase him out of the prison.

At this time, the doctors of the Tai Hospital had already arrived, and quickly gave the emperor acupuncture and moxibustion, frowning from beginning to end.

The ministers of the court, who were summoned closely, looked at Yizheng's heavy face, each with his own thoughts in his heart, and his face was solemn.

Hu Xiangguo, the head of the ministers, was the first to ask, "How is Your Majesty's injury?" ”

The doctor replied vaguely, "What the minister can do has already been done, and the rest depends on the will of God." ”

The ministers were shocked when they heard this, didn't the doctor say that the emperor's life and death were unpredictable.

Suddenly, everyone's thoughts became more and more complex and lively.

Hu Xiangguo was obviously angry, and immediately shouted, "Why was Your Majesty stabbed, what happened, the commander of the forbidden army who escorted it!" ”

Father-in-law Yu, who knelt behind the emperor and held his head, said with tears and trembling, "I don't know what happened to the villain, it seems that the Zhongchang servant stole His Majesty's things, and His Majesty found the Queen Mother here." His Majesty waved the palace people and the Commander away, so they don't know what they said. ”

After Yu's father-in-law briefly told the course of the matter, he immediately shot a volley of questioning and suspicious eyes towards the queen mother who was imprisoned by the anklet.

Zhongchang stole something but found the Queen Mother, could it be that the Zhongchang waiter, who has always been loyal to His Majesty of the detachment, is actually the Queen Mother's person.

What did the lieutenant stole to make the emperor so anxious, and sent the palace people and the commander away to prevent him from listening?

"Who is the one who stabbed His Majesty?"

Dian Cang squinted at the Queen Mother.

He might be able to guess what the Chang servant stole was, and with the current situation of the Queen Mother, there was nothing else that could change her fate except a blank edict.

Gonggong Yu wiped the blood stains on the emperor's lips with a juanzi, sniffed and said, "It's Li Zhaoyi, she suddenly rushed over from the opposite cell to kill, threatened to avenge His Majesty, stabbed the emperor and then cut her throat and killed herself." ”

Her 'majesty' is the emperor she imagined, she avenges the emperor, and the person she wants to kill is naturally the queen mother.

The people who can be like fish in water in the officialdom are all exquisite characters, and they instantly understand what happened.

It should be Li Zhaoyi who sought revenge on the Queen Mother, but let the emperor block the danger.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes became more and more strange when they looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother turned a deaf ear to everyone's gaze, and was contemplating another matter, something she had ignored before.

Zhongchang died, and was killed, who was the murderer?

It's not herself, and it's not him when she looks at the emperor's question, who could it be?

Could it be that there is a third party who is eyeing the blank edict?

Li Zhaoyi, who shouldn't have appeared here, suddenly took away the red-clothed man who was missing......

These threads were connected one after another, and the Queen Mother seemed to see a huge black hand manipulating everything.

The Queen Mother was shocked and shouted excitedly, "Fu Yiran, it's all her conspiracy, and she snatched the blank edict." ”

But she was still late, and the ministers had already supported the emperor and left the cell, the cell door was locked, and she was the only one left.

She ran to the cell door, but was tripped by the chains on her feet, and lay on the ground shouting at the top of her voice, "It's Fu Feiran, and the blank edict is in her ......"

The voice suddenly cut off, and she looked at the next cell with her mouth open in disbelief, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes unwillingly.

"Are you...... Who? ”

She struggled to spit out a small sound, her body stiffened and she couldn't writhe, and an invisible silver needle sank into her neck.

Mama Xi stood where the two cells were connected, her usual docile expression disappeared, and she was replaced with an indifferent and rigid face.

"I'll give you a ride."

The empty voice of neither men nor women made the Queen Mother's pupils wider, and her lips trembled for a long time without making a sound.

She was the man in black, and she was right next to her.

No wonder, the Queen Mother planned many assassination operations but let Fu Yingran escape, the assassination of Shangyuan Festival, the encirclement and suppression of Peach Blossom Spring Village, and the paddock trap were all known to the other party in advance to escape, and the inner ghost was also her.

In vain, the Empress Dowager was arrogant and thought that the entire palace was under control, but she didn't see that the closest person around her was meticulous.

Xi Mama didn't say a word, a long rope in her hand flew and rolled through the gap between the pillars of the prison door, wrapped the queen mother on the ground and smashed it against the wall.

At the same time, he shouted loudly to the cell boss, "Come on, the Queen Mother hit the wall and killed herself-"

Until she died, the Queen Mother couldn't close her eyes, and the bleeding death looked like a terrible ghost in hell.

……

Inside the Xuande Palace.

The emperor woke up in a daze for an hour and woke up, the courtiers and royal relatives were all at the bedside, and the harem concubines were also crying and crying.

The doctor was checking his pulse, but his face closed his eyes heavily, instead of the joy of his awakening.

The ministers knew that the situation was not good when they saw his expression, and they all felt that the alarm bells were loud in their hearts, and they suddenly felt that heavy rain was coming.

The doctor was talking to several important ministers and royal relatives to the side hall, and the doctor was blunt, "Your Majesty has hurt his heart, and he is no longer able to return to the sky, and now he is just returning to the light." ”

A heavy, mournful atmosphere permeated, and then there was a bold humanity, "If Your Majesty dies, who will inherit the throne." A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day. ”

Although this is a bit contradictory, it is also asked to the point.

After the death of the emperor, who should inherit the throne, the monarch is uncertain, and the country will be in chaos.

The emperor has no son, and it is not known whether Shu Jieyu is a son or a daughter in her belly, and the succession of a young monarch is easy to cause turmoil among those with bad intentions.

If there is no prince, you have to choose from the royal family.

King Yan is the son of the first emperor, the closest blood relationship with the emperor, and the most qualified to inherit the unification.

But King Yan's biological mother, Concubine Han, is not from the twilight country, and she is also a believer in the Holy Lord, so Hu Xiangguo and other clansmen are unwilling in their hearts.

If King Yan sits on the throne and has a queen mother like Concubine Han, wouldn't the status of Peach Blossom Spring Village in the twilight country be even higher in the future, and then the court will be more powerful, and the clan will be more suppressed.

In response to this, the ministers who had their own thoughts quarreled, some supported King Yan, and some supported the other heirs of the former emperors who were driven to the fiefdom, and the side hall was suddenly lively.

At this moment, the emperor's father-in-law Yu came to pass the gift.

"My Majesty, Your Majesty summons you."

The emperor's stunned eyes had been completely opened, and even had a little brilliance.

He let the waiter feed the ginseng soup, looked at Hu Xiangguo, and beckoned to him with difficulty.

The emperor summoned Hu Xiangguo, Dian Cang, and King Yan to his side, and used all his strength to squeeze out a thin voice from between his teeth.

Except for those three people, the people kneeling in the hall didn't know what the emperor said, only that since then, the country of twilight has changed to a new emperor.

……

Listening to the dull and mournful death knell, Fu Yingran's whole person was in a trance.

The emperor died, stabbed to death by a thin golden hairpin, and the murderer was Li Zhaoyi.

This is a scene that Fu Yiran never imagined, Li Zhaoyi and the emperor should have been two completely unrelated people, but in the end they died on the same day as the emperor as a sinner who killed the king.

Fate is sometimes really incomprehensible, obviously poisoning the first emperor and the first queen, it was the queen mother who committed the crime, so it was the emperor who gave his life.

Perhaps, this is also a kind of causal cycle.

The emperor received the great favor of the queen mother and was destined to repay it at the cost of his life.

The commander of the forbidden army mobilized the forbidden troops of the entire palace to search for the ambush closely, but the palace under the black curtain was as bright as day, and the sound of armor vibration shuttled through all corners of the palace, murderous.

Fu Yiran let Fu Yu pull to avoid the patrol forbidden army, and the familiar shuttle in the harem.

She raised her eyes to look at the familiar scenery around her, which was the direction leading to Rongping Palace.

She was startled and stopped suddenly, "We can't go to Concubine Han, we can't trouble her anymore." ”

The palace is under martial law, and even if Fu Yan's martial arts are superb, he can't quietly take Fu Yingran out of the palace.

In the entire palace, the only one they can trust, the only one who is willing to give them shelter, is Concubine Han.

Fu Yan's wide palm wrapped around her hand, tightened, and said softly, "Concubine Han has long known that you have entered the palace, and she has prepared a way to send you out of the palace in advance." You don't have to worry about Concubine Han, she can't be fine, we must leave the palace as soon as possible. ”

"How can you be so sure, do you know something?"

Fu Fei Fox narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Fu Yan didn't hide it this time, and said bluntly, "The emperor's dying edict ordered King Yan to succeed to the throne." ”

Fu Yingran suddenly realized, no wonder, King Yan wants to be the emperor, and Concubine Han is the queen mother.

When Fu Yingran was taken to Rongping Palace by Fu Yuan, Concubine Han was obviously waiting for them, and when she saw that she was safe, her heart fell to the ground in an instant.

"I have heard about the things in the prison, and now that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are discussing the emperor's funeral in the Xuande Palace, you should hurry out of the palace."

Fu Yingran held Concubine Han's hands tightly, tears fell down, and the ups and downs of the whole night were vented through tears.

She hung her head and muttered sorry, "Let King Yan go to that position." ”

Concubine Han never wanted her son to sit in that unhumane and supreme position, she only wished her son to be safe and happy, but she couldn't do it after all.

Concubine Han's eyes were full of tears, she didn't say a word, she gently pulled the corners of her mouth, the smile was still as kind and tolerant as ever, so that the tears that Fu Yiran had stopped a little were surging again.

"It's all fate, and he can't hide what he should bear."

A cold tear fell on the back of her hand, and Concubine Han stubbornly raised her head slightly and brushed away the tears.

The emperor died suddenly, the entire palace was in a hurry, and many palace people entered and exited the palace gate that should have been under the key at this hour, and the soldiers guarding the palace gate strictly checked and verified their identities, and did not let go of every face.

Gonggong Yu came in a hurry with a few small chamberlains, and took out the palace cards for the guards to check.

The guard soldier looked at his red eyes and asked with a sneer, "What is this going to do, father-in-law?" ”

Father-in-law Yu was depressed, knowing that he was duty, so he replied, "What Your Majesty misses most in this life is the copper coin dumplings that his biological mother wrapped for him when he was alive, and he still misses his biological mother when he is dying." There is no one in His Majesty's biological mother's family, there is only one aunt who has gone out of three suits, and I invited that aunt to enter the palace according to the order of His Royal Highness King Yan, which can be regarded as fulfilling His Majesty's wish to reunite with his biological mother's family. ”

When he mentioned the emperor, he touched the sad place again, and he couldn't help but press the corner of his eye.

The guard nodded knowingly, handed the pair back, and then looked at the small chamberlains behind him.

"The Commander has an order, and all those who enter and leave the palace gate must be carefully checked, after all, this is a special period."

Father-in-law Yu was not embarrassed, and glanced at him with slanted eyes, "Check it, hurry up, I'm still in a hurry." ”

As soon as the guards answered, the sound of the rolling of the car pierced the night sky, and they saw a carriage coming from a distance on the palace road as bright as day, with a very fast speed and a rampaging posture.

The guards at the city gate were immediately shocked, and they all rushed forward and stopped in front of the palace gate, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

The carriage came to a sudden halt when it was half a foot away from the palace gate, and after waiting for a long time, the palace people, who had been left far behind, trotted up and caught up with them.

The generals led by him looked at the palace people who were out of breath one by one, and asked with a heavy face, "Who is so bold in the palace and is rampaged." ”

The words fell, and the palace gate fell into silence for a moment.

A grandmother walked out of the breathless palace people, and Shi Shiran saluted, "This is Concubine Han's ceremonial drive, don't give way quickly." ”

As soon as Concubine Han's name came out, there was a whoop of sobs, and everyone hung their heads respectfully.

Today's Concubine Han is no longer what it used to be.

His Majesty died less than an hour ago, but the entire palace had been spread, and the emperor passed the throne to King Yan.

King Yan will be the next emperor of the Twilight Kingdom, and Concubine Han will also be the next queen mother.

When the palace people heard the name of Concubine Han, they all looked respectful, but the leading generals were in good spirits.

The commander has explained that he must keep an eye on Concubine Han, Concubine Han has a very close relationship with the county lord of Yunsang, and it is likely to help her escape.

Sure enough, at this time, Concubine Han was not staying in her palace, and she ran rampant to the palace gate, which must be strange.

The leading general knelt down towards the carriage and saluted, "See Concubine Han, the commander has an order, anyone who enters and leaves the city gate tonight must be strictly checked." ”

"Presumptuous, you dare to check Concubine Han's ceremonial drive."

Wonderful!
