Chapter 765 The Emperor Dies
noon.

A man dressed as a royal guard rode a fast horse galloping along the official road.

After entering Xijing City, head straight for the imperial palace.

"Urgent report, idlers retreat."

At noon, the streets of Xijing City were bustling and crowded with people. A man came on horseback and shouted loudly. When the people walking on the street saw the man's attire, they hurriedly retreated to both sides of the street.

"Urgent report, open the palace gate."

Seeing this, the imperial guards guarding the palace gate hurriedly let them go.

The man rode a fast horse through the third palace gate, then dismounted and changed to walking quickly.

"Urgent report, urgent report, the emperor was assassinated in the Dafoshan paddock."

The news was transmitted layer by layer, and it didn't take a moment for it to reach Zhaoren Palace.

The eunuch in charge of Zhaoren Palace entered the palace to report.

"Empress Dowager, there is an urgent report from the Dafoshan paddock that the emperor was assassinated and died in the Dafoshan paddock."

Hearing this news, Wei Qinqing was overjoyed.

The assassination was successful. From now on, the Great Chu Dynasty will belong to her, Wei Qinqing, hahaha.

Empress Dowager Wei smiled wildly in her heart, but her face showed extreme grief.

"Emperor, my emperor."

Zhao Nanny was at the side and quickly supported her.

"Empress Dowager, please accept your condolences and take care of your phoenix body."

"Emperor, my emperor, why did you leave me behind? A white-haired man gives a black-haired man, how will I live in the future?"

Empress Dowager Wei leaned in Zhao Nanny's arms, tears streaming down her face, she was in so much pain that she didn't raise her breath, her eyes turned white, and she passed out in Zhao Nanny's arms.

"Queen, Empress"

Zhao Mama's expression tightened, and she ordered sharply: "The Empress Dowager has passed out, what is she still doing in a daze, hurry up and invite the Qin court judge to come over."

"Yes, mammy, servants are going now."

A court lady next to Empress Dowager Wei hurriedly went to the imperial hospital to ask Qin Shijie to be sentenced.

After a while, Qin Shijie hurried to Zhaoren Palace with the maid.

In the inner hall of Zhaoren Palace, Empress Dowager Wei was lying unconscious on the bed, with a towel covering her forehead, her face was pale and ugly.

Nanny Zhao stayed by her side, not daring to leave for a moment.

Qin Shijie walked into the inner hall, knelt down and saluted: "My minister sees the empress dowager."

Zhao Nanny spoke urgently.

"The empress dowager is still in a coma, Mr. Qin, hurry up and show the empress dowager."

Qin Shijie just got up and walked to Empress Dowager Wei's bed. After giving Empress Dowager Wei her pulse, she gave Empress Wei a few needles, and then pressed Empress Dowager Wei's Renzhong acupoint.

After a lot of tossing, Queen Mother Wei finally opened her eyes.

"Prince, my prince."

When he opened his eyes, there was another burst of tears streaming down his face, and he couldn't stop crying.

Nanny Zhao had no choice but to ask Qin Shijie.

"Lord Qin, how is the phoenix body of the Empress Dowager?"

Qin Shijie glanced at Queen Mother Wei cautiously.

The empress dowager was just pretending to be dizzy.

"The empress dowager fainted in a hurry, and the phoenix body is fine."

Zhao Nanny heaved a sigh of relief.

"Since the empress dowager is in good health, Mr. Qin, please step back."

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

After Qin Shijie saluted, he withdrew from the inner hall of Zhaoren Palace.

"Mommy, help Ai get up."

Empress Dowager Wei stretched out her hand weakly to Mother Zhao, and got up with the support of Mother Zhao.

"Fu Ai's family goes to the front hall."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhao mama carefully helped her to the front hall.

Empress Dowager Wei's face was pale, her brows were tightly frowned, and she sat on the phoenix chair with a weak and grief-stricken appearance. After taking a deep breath, she ordered lightly: "Where is the person who came back to deliver the letter, the Ai family wants to see you." See."

"Yes, the old slave will go pass it on now."

After a while, the guard who sent the letter was brought to Zhaoren Palace, in front of the Empress Dowager Wei.

"The servant sees the empress dowager."

Empress Dowager Wei leaned on the phoenix chair, and said in grief: "How could the emperor be assassinated? Hundreds of royal guards are protecting the emperor. Why do you allow the emperor to be assassinated? You useless fools."

The guard knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly: "The Empress Dowager calm down, it was the Flying Tiger General Xiao Jian and Qin Lang, the eldest son of the Qin family, who jointly rebelled and murdered the emperor."

"Xiao Jian, Qin Lang, two traitors dare to murder the emperor, the Ai family will not let you go."

Empress Dowager Wei held the armrest of the phoenix chair, gnashing her teeth.

"It is said that Wei Jinlin, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, will enter the palace to see me."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Wei gave an order, and an eunuch beside Hou immediately went out of the palace to deliver the order.

Half an hour later, Wei Jinlin, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, led hundreds of imperial guards towards Qin Mansion and Xiao Mansion.

Hundreds of imperial guards were divided into two groups, one surrounded the Xiao Mansion, and the other surrounded the Qin Mansion.

Wei Jinlin personally led people to surround the Xiao Mansion, besieging the huge Xiao Mansion completely.

The three Xiao Hai brothers went to meet Wei Jinlin outside the mansion with anxious faces.

Seeing that Wei Jinlin was wearing armor with a saber hanging around his waist, it didn't seem like he was putting on airs, Xiao Hai's expression tightened, and he asked, "Little General Wei, what are you doing?"

Wei Jinlin replied with a cold snort: "The emperor was assassinated and died in the paddock of Dafo Mountain. The assassins were Flying Tiger General Xiao Jian and Qin Lang, the eldest son of the Qin family. General Xiao Hai, what do you think this general is doing? The thief was caught and brought to justice."

After Wei Jinlin finished speaking, the three Xiao Hai brothers had cold sweat on their foreheads.

Shocked for a moment, Xiao Hai calmed down.

What kind of temperament Xiao Jian is, as a father, he knows very well, that rebellious son is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, absolutely impossible to do something to murder the life of the little emperor, the little emperor was assassinated and died in the paddock of Dafoshan, there must be something else hidden, it's just the empress dowager Ordering Wei Jinlin to bring the Imperial Guards to surround the Xiao Mansion seemed to be an action, and the purpose of doing so was to force the Xiao Family to participate in it.

"Little General Wei doesn't know something. Not long ago, Xiao Jian had separated from my father-son relationship and from the Xiao family. If you want to arrest traitors and traitors, you may have come to the wrong place."

Wei Jinlin hooked the corners of his lips.

The old fox Xiao Hai is indeed a ruthless character, in order to keep his status and the glory of the Xiao family, he can not only sacrifice Xiao Cheng, but also Xiao Jian.

"As expected of General Xiao Hai, he did a good job in killing relatives righteously."

Wei Jinlin took a step towards Xiao Hai, and whispered in his ear, "General Xiao Hai, the emperor has passed away, what should I do next, I believe General Xiao Hai doesn't need me to remind you."

Xiao Hai's back was covered with cold sweat.

Empress Dowager Wei wanted to use the [-] imperial guards in the hands of Wei's father and son to control the situation in Xijing City, use the forces of King Zhenxi and King Zhenbei to control the troops stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and the Xiao family was responsible for dealing with the forces of Zhanwangfu.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Once the Xiao family supports the palace change launched by the Queen Mother Wei, there will be no way out.

But if you don't get involved, the little emperor has already passed away. Once the Queen Mother Wei takes control of the court, the Xiao family will still perish if they offend the Queen Mother Wei.
