Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Queen Qin gave an order, and countless guards rushed in from outside the palace. They were well-trained and moved as fast as the wind. In the blink of an eye, they tied up Yan Song and dragged him away.

"Queen, please spare my life! I, Yan, am innocent!" The old minister's shrill wails echoed in the hall.

However, Queen Qin seemed to have heard nothing and continued to sit upright with a solemn expression.

"My dear ministers, if anyone dares to disagree with my decision, I will punish them all! How could I be afraid of you villains?"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers were terrified and dared not breathe.

"Your Majesty is wise! We dare not make any rash comments. We are willing to serve the Emperor with all our heart and soul!"

"Very good." Queen Qin nodded with satisfaction and said lazily, "Let the Jinyiwei interrogate Yan Song and his gang. The rest of you, my dear ministers, go back as soon as possible to report and appease the people. If there is any disturbance, you must report it to me immediately!"

"Yes!" All the ministers responded in unison and knelt on the ground.

"Retreat from the court."

Queen Qin waved her hand, her face cold and graceful.

She watched the ministers file out, and then she calmed down a little.

Looking at the emperor's unconscious bedroom in the distance, Queen Qin looked gloomy.

"Your Majesty, it seems that I am the only one who can protect this world. You must wake up soon."

The sad and beautiful figure stood there for a long time, unwilling to leave.

At the same time, a group of people were speeding in the suburbs of Beijing.

The leaders were Yu Dayan and Li Chunfeng, one riding a tall horse and the other flying a sword. The two had perfect understanding and cooperated seamlessly.

"Master, there is something I don't understand." Yu Dayan suddenly spoke in a respectful tone, "You said before that you wanted to ask the king of Baoxiang Kingdom for the magic mirror, but this man is greedy by nature and will never show it to anyone easily. If we go there empty-handed, aren't you afraid that we may never come back?"

When Li Chunfeng heard this, he laughed out loud towards the sky.

"Hahaha, my disciple, how could I not be prepared? Look at this!"

He just waved his sleeves and suddenly a mirror appeared in his hand.

The mirror surface is crystal clear, inlaid with countless beautiful jades and jewels, shining brightly. There are also golden rays surrounding it, which is very beautiful.

"This is the Taixu Illusion Mirror!" Li Chunfeng introduced with a smile, "It is made of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can reflect what is in the hearts of mortals. If we take it to see King Baoxiang, he will be convinced and will obediently present the magic mirror!"

"Master, you have a good plan!" Yu Daying couldn't help but admire and thanked him again and again.

Li Chunfeng waved his hand and said sternly: "My disciple, although I have helped you a lot, the Kunlun Ruins in Kunlun Mountain are extremely dangerous. The immortal grass is hard to find. Even Master Tongtian failed to get it and nearly died. You and I need to be cautious in this journey."

As he spoke, a golden light suddenly burst out from above his head. A red-crowned crane flew out, and then turned into a child in a colorful robe, floating towards the two of them on a cloud.

"Greetings, Master, and Senior Brother Yu." The little boy's voice was childish but very respectful. "I, the disciple, am here to help you two at the order of Master. Please accept my request, Master and Senior Brother."

"It turned out to be Junior Brother Xuqing." Yu Daying was overjoyed upon seeing this and said hurriedly, "It's great that you can come! With Senior Brother here, our trip to Kunlun will definitely be a great success!"

"All is as you say, senior brother." Xu Qing agreed obediently, with a hint of cunning flashing in his clear eyes.

Li Chunfeng nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Okay, my disciples! Without further ado, let's set off now and head straight to the Western Regions! I hope we can find the magic herb as soon as possible and rescue the emperor!"

"Master, rest assured. I, your disciple, will do my best and will never fail in my mission!"

As soon as the words fell, the three of them immediately turned into a stream of light and headed towards the direction where the sun was rising, never to return.

And the people of the capital, since learning that the emperor has been ill for a long time, have been praying for him day and night.

Countless devout men and women flocked to the palace gate, knelt on the ground, and chanted the Buddha's name devoutly.

The high city walls were suddenly crowded with people.

"Oh my God, I heard that our good emperor fell into the trap of a traitor and his life is now hanging by a thread!"

"Alas, the emperor was so wise and brave, how could he just die at such an old age? God is so blind!" "Shh, keep your voice down! If you spread such words, you will lose your head! Let's go and pray for the emperor!"

Waves of suppressed moans and whispers could be heard continuously.

The people had worried looks on their faces and tears in their eyes, which was enough to show how high the emperor's status was in their hearts.

At the same time, in the Jingyang Palace in the imperial palace, a pair of slightly pale hands were tightly holding the hands of the person on the bed.

The hand was large and strong, but now it lay limply on the quilt, lifeless.

"Your Majesty, please don't be in any trouble."

Queen Qin looked haggard and her eyes were red.

Since taking over the government, she has been working day and night and has hardly slept.

First, those restless court officials were eager to make a move and covet the throne. It was not easy to use tough measures to intimidate them.

Then came the famine and wars, and the people were in dire straits. Queen Qin was so busy that she could hardly spare any time.

However, her only support and reliance is now in a coma and her life is in danger.

Thinking of this, Queen Qin could no longer hold back, and threw herself on Chu Ze's bed, bursting into tears.

Her delicate shoulders were shaking violently, her long black hair was disheveled, and she no longer had the dignity and grace she once had.

"Your Majesty, I will protect the Ming Dynasty for you! Please get well soon and come back to see me."

Tears soaked the brocade quilt embroidered with dragon patterns, spreading a dark color.

Outside the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who heard the noise also had tears in their eyes.

They felt sorry for their master, but they could do nothing about it.

All I could do was kneel outside the palace gate and pray to God for His blessing and hope that the Emperor would recover soon.

At the morning court a few days later, Queen Qin forced herself to be energetic, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting upright on the dragon throne.

All officials stood in silence, awaiting the emperor's instructions.

However, the atmosphere in the hall was vaguely weird.

Many ministers were whispering to each other, and from time to time they cast meaningful glances at Queen Qin.

It was as if some conspiracy was brewing.

Queen Qin's heart tightened, but she remained expressionless.

"My dear ministers, the border war has been tense recently and the treasury is empty. I have been working hard day and night, and I have done my best. I wonder if you have any good ideas to help the Ming Dynasty relieve its worries?"

Her tone was calm, but her eyes swept across the ministers like a knife.

It was as if he wanted to dig out all the little tricks in their hearts.

The hall was completely silent, and all the ministers were silent.

After a long time, the Left Prime Minister Yao Huan stood up and bowed.

"Your Highness, I think the most urgent task is to select a regent who is highly respected to assist the Emperor. Only in this way can we command the world and appease the people!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

Countless voices of approval came one after another, instantly flooding the hall.

"Prime Minister Yao is right! The emperor has been ill for a long time and urgently needs good ministers to assist him. If there is no one to take charge of the overall situation, I am afraid that people will panic and the consequences will be disastrous!" (End of this chapter)
