The queen is alluring

Chapter 128

"Zhao An..." For some reason, the emperor suddenly called Eunuch Zhao's name as if he was a little bit exhausted.

"Uh... huh?" Eunuch Zhao stepped forward in panic and hurriedly responded.

"Go back to the palace..." The emperor's body shook suddenly, and he walked towards the dragon chair with heavy steps, but staggered under his feet.Eunuch Zhao was so frightened that he hurried forward to help him. At this moment, he realized that the emperor seemed to have been drained of strength, and he couldn't even walk steadily.However, the emperor pushed away Eunuch Zhao's hand, walked towards the chariot with a cold and stiff body, sat majestically and solemnly on the dragon chair, and closed his eyes again.

Eunuch Zhao stared blankly at the emperor. For a moment, he felt that the emperor had returned to the way he was before the little empress entered the palace. He was cold, indifferent and possessed the majesty of repelling others thousands of miles away...

In the Palace of Lingxiao——

The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a dazed expression. Seeing this, Eunuch Zhao had no choice but to remove all the maids inside and outside the hall.As a result, the inside and outside of the hall, which was originally silent, became even more deserted.

Eunuch Zhao walked slowly to the side of the emperor, took the cold soup, and said: "Your Majesty, eat some, you have been tired all night, if you don't eat, how can your body survive?"

The emperor's eyes were dull, and he slowly turned his head to look at Eunuch Zhao, and then mechanically raised his hand that was holding the death-preventing gold medal tightly. The bright red blood stains had already stained the silk handkerchief red, which was shocking.But without realizing it, he handed the veil to his face, and raised his eyebrows tightly.

At this moment, the emperor no longer had the domineering arrogance of the king just now. He seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden and turned into a rickety old man. Then he closed his eyes tremblingly and cried out in pain: "Why is she treating me like this? Is he not treating her well? ? I even sent the queen mother away because of her, why is she still like this, why..."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is probably bored in the palace, so she wants to go out to get some air. Besides, the Empress Dowager must have a heart for treating the Empress Dowager like that. Besides, the Empress Dowager, although she is smart, , but after all, she is a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, and she is an expensive queen, how can she bear the hardship of wandering outside, so even if the empress escapes by chance, she will come back soon." Eunuch Zhao comforted him, but although he said Hearing these words, he didn't even have a bottom line in his heart.

How stubborn the queen's temper is is indescribable, just like the three-month cold war with the emperor this time.If it's an ordinary woman, don't dare to have such a big temper, even if she has, seeing the emperor visit, give rewards, and even speak nicely, and stay overnight regardless of his ugly face. It should have disappeared long ago.

But the empress is like a day in March, and she is like a hedgehog all the time. She stabs at the emperor when she sees the emperor, which shows how stubborn her temper is.

The sky outside the window is getting brighter, and what kind of beginning will this night's change be——

As the sky gradually brightened, Xuanwu Gate, Huadong Gate, and even the section of the back mountain were all blocked.The entire imperial palace has entered the most stringent state of security since the new emperor ascended the throne. When the red sun was born, when the brilliant sunlight enveloped the snow-capped imperial palace, thick smoke and bloody smell filled the sky.

In the imperial garden, the headless corpse of a bloody man in black was covered with layers of cicada wings by the snowflakes in the middle of the night, but the bright red dirt still clearly lit up the clean land.

As the sun rises, there is nothing to hide. There are many traces and footprints of fighting in the backyard of the deep palace, the imperial garden and the back mountain. It shows that when the fire in Chenxi Palace attracted everyone's attention last night, What a tragic battle took place in these places where no one cared about, but unfortunately, no one witnessed that scene, and could only guess what happened based on the results of the autopsy.

So at noon, after the emperor went to court, a report discussed by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War was handed over to Eunuch Zhao of Lingxiao Palace, and Eunuch Zhao led the two of them into the imperial study to meet the exhausted emperor and submit the report .

"Reporting to the emperor, according to the autopsy report made by Wu, the men in black who were found in the Imperial Garden and Chenxi Palace should be together, six of them were injured by sharp swords, and four of them died from the poison on the poisonous arrows. There is another person..." Speaking of the last corpse, Pang Yan, who had extensive experience in killing methods, was a little shocked. He glanced at the emperor's expression, and then said: "There is another person who has no wounds on his body, but has a wound on his back. It was pierced by a hard object, and judging from the bruises on the skin, it should be a delicate dagger."

The emperor's face darkened, his black eyes flickered, and he stared at Pang Yan suspiciously.And Yang Fei on the side added: "What Guard Pang means is that there are strange crush marks on the skin of the weird fatal internal injury, which is very similar to the Phoenix Lin on the golden dagger with a phoenix tail that Chu State gave me as a tribute. If I remember correctly, the emperor asked Eunuch Zhao to leave the dagger in the court at that time, saying that he would give it to the empress as a reward."

Eunuch Zhao was startled, and quickly looked at the emperor, only to see that the emperor was also shocked, his eyes were dark and deep, but he didn't know what else he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, one of the corpses wounded by the sharp sword was pierced through the heart, and the other five had their heads cut off, and among the several corpses in the Chenxi Palace, two were poisoned. The arrow pierced the main artery of the neck and died, which shows that the attacker was ruthless and ruthless, and such a skill, even the most powerful bounty master in the world may not be able to do it." Pang Yan saw that Yang Fei had already put the matter in order I said it all, so I didn't intend to cover it up, so I reported all the inferences truthfully.

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Zhao quickly spread out the report on the table.

The emperor's expression was cold, and when he saw the detailed autopsy report, his complexion became even more tense and turned livid. He closed his eyes, slowly clenched his fists, and said more gloomyly: "Can you find the queen's trace?"

"The empress did not leave alone, and the whereabouts of that person were very mysterious. Except for some footprints in the imperial garden and the back mountain, the rest seemed to have evaporated. I couldn't find the slightest clue. The subordinates led the troops to At Xuanwumen, there were no clues, let alone traces of going out of the palace," Yang Fei reported with a serious expression.

Looking at the report, the emperor suddenly waved the report and crumpled it into a ball, throwing it into the red-hot copper stove beside the charcoal fire.Everyone was startled, and they all looked at the emperor in amazement, but saw that the emperor had no expression on his face, and said resolutely and coldly: "This matter must not be publicized, you, immediately go to Chenqi Palace and execute all the palace maids," the emperor said. After a pause, complex emotions flashed across his eyes, and then he said: "The queen's personal maid will stay and be sent to the House of Internal Affairs for confinement."
