In fact, the Empress Dowager just didn't say that the court and the clan would discuss together, and the front hall had already received the rumor - the terrifying words of the concubine Lu Hehao came out, and the little inner servant in the hall sneaked out and rushed to the front to find Zhu Qin to tell him.

After Zhu Qin heard the news, she had a thought with Empress Wei: No matter whether this thing is true or not, you can't take risks in any case!

- Besides, it doesn't have to be an adventure.

After all, in the days after Emperor Xianjia's death, Lu Hehao, a common man, had been driving for the longest time!

At that time, Emperor Duanhua was in a trance for several days due to excessive grief, and Gu Shao was worried that the new monarch was young and couldn't control the scene, so he sent Lu Hehao, a concubine, to keep an eye on the emperor, thinking that the emperor had picked up the missing pieces and made up for the omissions.

Zhu Qin remembered that Lu Hehao, who was a concubine, often made excuses to let him leave to run errands......

And at that time, including Empress Wei, who had always been shrewd, who would doubt Emperor Duanhua's only sibling?

And Emperor Xianjia suddenly made a big move, and the entire palace was in chaos.

What Lu Hehao sent Zhu Qin to do is not unreasonable, for example, let him frequently visit the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Su in the name of Emperor Duanhua - even Gu Shao didn't feel anything wrong with this practice, but praised Lu Hehao's move to brush up a lot of filial piety for Emperor Duanhua, which reflects the brotherhood of the heavenly family.

So Zhu Qin didn't dare to bet at all!

He made up his mind, first praised the little chamberlain, and after promising that he would reward him generously when he turned back, he hurriedly called his henchmen over: "You go to the Praetorian Guard with a team of reliable people, bring blades, bows and crossbows, and go to Mingren Palace immediately!" ”

The henchman was surprised: "Mingren Palace? But this will be over there......"

Over there, there are now the most top-notch ladies and ladies of the entire Darui!

The Praetorian guards will break in with knives and bows, and the consequences can be imagined!

Zhu Qin glanced at him coldly: "After entering, don't care what the situation is inside, don't pay attention to anyone's scolding and stopping, even if it's the empress dowager - be sure to kill the concubine Lu Hehao, Concubine Nuan and King Qing!" ”

"And take their corpses away!"

"Break the bones and scatter ashes!"

His voice was lowered, but the speed of his speech increased slightly, "Tell the guards who led the team, the reason is that Your Majesty heard that Lu Hehao, a concubine, had trespassed into the palace and intended to assassinate the Empress Dowager!" They were eager to protect the Empress Dowager and the nobles who entered the palace for the banquet today, but they accidentally injured Concubine Nuan's mother and son! ”

Although the henchmen didn't know how terrible the inside story of Lu Hehao would be exposed in Mingren Palace, they couldn't help but shudder when they only listened to this order, and said in a trembling voice: "Then father-in-law, ......?!" ”

Regardless of whether this decision is approved by Emperor Duanhua, just by virtue of the fact that the guards broke into Mingren Palace to kill people, Zhu Qin will definitely die afterwards!

It's an extravagant hope to even die well!

"Our family is deeply blessed with the emperor's grace, this is as it should be." Zhu Qin said without any expression, "You have done this, and our family will recommend you to His Majesty to take over our family-"

Wave your hand to stop the words of the henchman who is eager to show his loyalty, "In the future, I will serve Your Majesty, remember my duty, the matter is urgent, we will not say anything superfluous, go quickly!" ”

After a while, Zhu Qin returned to the banquet casually, Emperor Duanhua was absentmindedly admiring the song and dance of His Royal Highness, and noticed that he was coming back to serve, put down the wine bottle, and said casually: "What did the little waiter say?" How did you go for so long? ”

"Your Majesty, remember, beware of Lu Hehao!" Zhu Qin approached the imperial case, and by pouring wine for him, he said softly, "In case of trouble, ask Gu Xiang for advice, that is the old minister specially left by the first emperor to you, and there is no successor, what you want is nothing more than to leave a name in history, and it will not hurt you!" Others, even the Queen's Mother, you can't trust them all...... Forget it, slave and maid, these things really shouldn't be interfered with by slaves and maids, you still listen to Gu Xiang! ”

Emperor Duanhua looked at him in disbelief: "Could it be that the little chamberlain just came to talk about Lu Hehao?" What happened to him? Didn't you say that he was kidnapped after his assassination and never found him? ”

Although the assassination of Lu Hehao, a common man, was even more sensational because of the subsequent assassination of King Xiang, it did not attract anyone's attention at all, but the emperor was still told here.

Even this matter was done privately by Wei Su and the emperor, and the emperor knew that - but the emperor did not know that the empress dowager had privately given the secret decree to the two families, so he only said that the Wei family sent someone to assassinate Lu Hehao's family, but it was out of the queen's instructions, in order to avenge the previous one-arrow revenge;

And when the Su family did this, they were suspected of colluding with Lu Hehao, and they needed to kill people.

Because Emperor Duanhua was already dealing with King Su and the Su family, and after Lu Hehao's whereabouts were unknown, first, there was no definite evidence to prove the Su family, and secondly, he was afraid that King Su was on his way back to the imperial capital.

Therefore, after the emperor discussed with Gu Shao, he decided to hold the troops first, and then settle the account with these people after solving the problem of King Su!

At this moment, listening to Zhu Qin asking him to be careful of Lu Hehao, Emperor Duanhua thought that he had news of Lu Hehao, and he didn't hear the meaning of farewell in the tone of his henchman, and frowned slightly, "But Lu Hehao's whereabouts have been discovered?" Where is he? ”

"Your Majesty, Zhu Chunyang, the slave's fellow countryman, is quite diligent and loyal to Your Majesty, if the slave can no longer serve you, you might as well let him follow you." As if she hadn't heard, Zhu Qin picked up the wine jug that had already been poured wine, put it back on the table, and said softly, "Of course, slaves and maids are stupid, and they may not be accurate in looking at people - Your Majesty should decide after consulting with Gu Xiang!" ”

Zhu Chunyang is the henchman that Zhu Qin had just instructed.

No matter how sluggish Emperor Duanhua was, he felt that something was wrong when he heard him recommend a successor, so he couldn't help but sit up straight and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Qin, what do you mean by saying these words?" But what happened? ”

At this time, although the birthday banquet was already getting better, the emperor was always the center of the most attention.

Zhu Qin, as the most relied on eunuch in front of Emperor Duanhua, suddenly left for a while, and after coming back, he muttered to the emperor, everyone didn't dare to look at the sky openly, but the corners of their eyes were watching.

At this moment, although Emperor Duanhua's question could not be said loudly, the nearby seats all noticed that for a while, everyone who had been chatting with each other stopped talking, and subconsciously looked at the top of the Danqi!

Gu Shao had the highest status and was the closest, so he hurriedly gave Zhu Qin a look, signaling him to appease the emperor and not make any inappropriate moves in front of everyone.

It's just that Zhu Qin, who has always cooperated with him, will not pay attention to him - calculate the time, if Zhu Chunyang's actions are fast, the guards should have entered the Mingren Palace at this moment!

Lu Hehao grew up in the palace, after his ambition was exposed, the emperor ordered his growth experience over the years to be thoroughly investigated, as Emperor Duanhua's close attendant, Zhu Qin knew very clearly that although Lu Hehao was also considered both civil and military, but because of his consistent pampering, Empress Dowager Cui was reluctant to let her youngest son suffer too much during her lifetime, so her martial arts were just mediocre.

As for the mother and son of the warm concubine, not to mention it, they are just weak girls and young children who have not been a toddler for a long time!

It would be easy for a well-trained Praetorian guard with a sword and a bow to kill these three people!

Zhu Qin suddenly relaxed: Then what else did he have to hesitate about?

Facing Emperor Duanhua's surprised gaze, Zhu Qin straightened up, and after taking a deep look at the master he had served since childhood, he did something that surprised everyone - rushed to the nearest guard, snatched the ritual knife from his waist, and slashed at Emperor Duanhua!

Emperor Xianjia personally selected a confidant for his son, and he would kill the king in full view of everyone on the Holy Birthday Festival!!

Even Gu Shao was stunned by this scene!

The guards in the hall are not eating dry food, especially the owner of the ritual knife, almost stunned, immediately subconsciously raised the scabbard and smashed it on Zhu Qin's back!

Zhu Qin was smashed, and the knife that was originally slashed towards the shoulder of Emperor Duanhua was "taken for granted" to the side of the dining table, and there was a loud "bang", even the guests who were far away and were really immersed in the banquet and silk and bamboo singing and dancing all noticed that something was wrong, and they all looked over in surprise or confusion!

When he saw Zhu Qin slashing at Emperor Duanhua again with a knife, he couldn't help but exclaim!

"Escort !!" Gu Shao finally reacted at this moment, stood up Teng, his movements were so violent, he brought the food table full of delicious food in front of him to the ground, and the crystal basin and jasper bowl and other utensils fell to the ground - he didn't care at all, while desperately pounced on the Danqi, trying to save Emperor Duanhua, while reminding everyone sharply, "Hurry up and escort!! ”

Everyone woke up like a dream, and for a time there was chaos in the temple!

In the midst of such chaos, the chamberlain of Mingren Palace walked in with a whisk of dust, and before the sentence "The Empress Dowager's Message" was finished, he was stunned by the situation in the palace!

At this moment, on the palace road not far from Mingren Palace, a group of guards dressed as forbidden soldiers were wiping the blood stains on the long knife with the clothes on the corpse under their feet.

"Fifth brother, this is within the palace!" The youngest guard in the group whispered to the man beside him in a slightly frightened tone while sharpening his sword, "Let's do this...... Isn't it...... Is it going to rebel? ”

"Rebellion?!" The "fifth brother" smiled coldly, raised his knife, and pointed at the dead corpses all over the ground, the narrow and bright knife light was still sharp and cold even in the wind and snow, like an ice pick coming directly in front of him, and his tone was contemptuous, "It's these people and their masters behind the scenes who are really rebelling!" Don't say what day it is, just say who lives in Mingren Palace? Grand empress dowager! That's His Majesty's grandmother, the first emperor should also be respectful when he is there, and the ancestor of the province will be determined in the morning and dusk! On the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday, someone carried a sword with the intention of attacking Mingren Palace, what is this not a rebellion?! ”

He patted the young guard on the shoulder, and said safely, "You don't have to panic, go to the gate of Mingren Palace to report this matter, and ask the Empress Dowager to decide!" ”

Another person was called, "You go to the front hall, find our people, and ask him to tell Master Qiu and Yanhou that someone intends to murder the Empress Dowager, inform them, and ask them to take advantage of the situation when the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, to seek justice for the Empress Dowager!" ”

A gust of wind swept by, and the snowflakes scattered all over the sky, as if Zhu Qin did not hesitate to accompany herself, but she was still empty.
