Xu Luo was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees and said, "This slave is loyal to the emperor. The sun and the moon can tell you the truth. The Queen must not unjustly accuse this slave!"
"Hmph! Who knows if you have been bribed?"
The queen said, and said to the guards on the side: "I will also arrest this eunuch and interrogate him severely."
The guards looked at each other, not daring to move. They were the guards of the imperial study room, and only the emperor could order them.
Although the Queen is the master of the harem, they do not directly take orders from her.
Seeing that everyone was motionless, the queen shouted angrily: "What? You don't even listen to my decree? The emperor is unconscious, and now I have the final say. Do you want to resist the decree?"
The guards were in a very difficult position, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Su Yizhao frowned and was about to step forward to give advice when he heard the Queen suddenly give an order.
"Come on! Arrest these guards who are below the rank of criminals for me."
Su Yizhao was shocked, and then some guards appeared out of nowhere and started to take action.
"Empress! The imperial guards guarding the imperial study are all directly following orders from the emperor. What are you doing?"
Su Yizhao felt that it was not the guards who were going to rebel, but the empress!
However, the queen ignored her at all. Seeing the fierce attack, the imperial guards had to resist, and the two sides soon fought together.
Su Yizhao frowned, realizing that this was a palace coup! It seemed that he could no longer stay here and had to go out and bring in reinforcements.
It's a pity that I didn't bring Xiangsi with me before I came here, otherwise I could have sent Xiangsi back to report the news.
Su Yizhao moved to the corner, planning to leave the palace first, but unexpectedly the queen noticed her instantly.
"Catch this kid too, don't let her escape."
Su Yizhao was retreating quietly, but now that the queen found her, how could she care so much?
He immediately took out a dagger, rushed forward and put it on the queen's neck.
"Everyone, please stop me. If anyone moves again, I will kill her head on the ground." Su Yizhao shouted.
The queen immediately panicked, "Stop it, stop it!"
"Su Yizhao, I'm warning you not to act recklessly. I am the master of the harem, and my mother is responsible for the world. If you act disorderly, you will be a traitor and a traitor."
The queen was very worried, but she didn't expect that Su Yizhao actually brought weapons with him.
"Hmph! You should warn the Queen yourself! You want to usurp power and seize the throne while the Emperor is unconscious. You are so cruel!"
Su Yizhao simply argued with the queen, saying that the queen's behavior just now was indeed suspected of usurping the throne.
The emperor was unconscious. She couldn't think of a way to save him. Instead, she had to replace the guards in the imperial study room.
"Manager Xu, should you hurry up and inform the commander of the Beijing Guard, Jiang Yishou?"
Su Yizhao shouted to Xu Luo, who was still collapsed on the ground. This person usually seems to be quite smart, why is he acting stupid today?
Jiang Yishou is the Marquis of Lin'an, the father-in-law of the third prince. It's a pity that the third prince's body is still cold and the mourning hall has not been evacuated!
However, protecting the emperor and guarding Kyoto are the responsibilities of the Kyoto Guard Commander.
Xu Luo then got up from the ground. He was about to run out, but was suddenly blocked by a large number of soldiers and horses rushing in.
Su Yizhao took a look through the swaying palace lantern and found out that he was the deposed prince?
"The eldest prince is so late and without the emperor's summons, it is considered as breaking into the palace at night." Su Yizhao said coldly.
It seemed like this was premeditated! Then she had to suspect that the emperor's poisoning was related to the queen and the deposed prince.
The eldest prince snorted coldly, "You are just a fifth-rank official, you are still in the palace so late at night, and you also kidnapped your mother and poisoned your father. This prince is here to save you."
Su Yizhao wanted to curse, damn it! This crime was framed very quickly!
"The eldest prince should not spout blood. The emperor was poisoned with a chronic poison. It has been more than a year. Is it possible that the lower official can still enter the palace from time to time to poison the emperor?"
Su Yizhao is now isolated and helpless, with only Xu Luo beside him, but he has no power to restrain the chicken.
Imperial Physician Xu had long been so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and was controlled by the Queen's people.
Thinking that it was useless to say this now, the other party was just going to put the blame on her. Who told her to be so unlucky that she had to be called to the palace so late at night? It was like hitting the point of a gun.
"My prince advises you to put down your weapons immediately and be captured without any help. You can still get a lighter sentence."
Listening to the eldest prince's words, Su Yizhao sneered, "Get out of the way and let me out of the palace."
Su Yizhao originally wanted Xu Luo to follow him, but the emperor was like this. If Xu Luo also went out, the emperor would really be doomed.
Forget it, let’s find a way to go out and bring in reinforcements!
"You plotted to kill the emperor, kidnap the queen, and want to leave the palace? Su Si Cheng, I advise you not to do anything in vain. Since you have made great contributions to the country, I will spare your life."
Looking at the crowd of guards behind the eldest prince, Su Yizhao felt strange. Why was it that only the eldest prince came, but no one came to rescue him? Where were those people?
"Does the eldest prince not care about the life of the queen?"
Su Yizhao tightened the dagger on the queen's neck, and a gash was cut on the queen's neck.
The queen felt the pain and immediately shouted in fear: "Your Majesty."
"Mother!" The eldest prince finally stopped speaking harshly. Now he was in a dilemma, but he could no longer waste time with Su Yizhao.
"Let him leave!" the eldest prince said coldly.
"Wait a minute, drive a carriage over and put the emperor in the carriage. I want to take the emperor out of the palace."
Su Yizhao instantly sensed the eldest prince's intention, which was to wait for her to leave before threatening the emperor.
The eldest prince felt that Su Yizhao was deliberately making things difficult for him. If his father and Su Yizhao were to leave, how could he draft an imperial edict?
"Father, I will never let you take him away!" The eldest prince was extremely troubled in his heart. If his people could not block the palace gate for too long, they would be discovered soon.
Just when the eldest prince was still hesitating, there was a sudden fire not far away and the sound of fighting was heard.
Seeing this, Su Yizhao had an idea, grabbed the queen, and headed to the imperial study.
Since someone will come to rescue him, drag the queen in and guard the emperor together.
"Mr. Xu, why don't you come in quickly?" Su Yizhao called Xu Luo, and Xu Luo quickly followed him into the imperial study.
After Su Yizhao entered, he found that there were two imperial doctors hiding inside.
Helplessly, he called Xu Luo to tie up the queen with a piece of cloth and tie her to a book shelf by the wall, so that she could have her hands free to do other things.
She was looking for weapons in the royal study room. There was a long sword in her space, but she couldn't take it out now.
After searching for it, I could only smash open the armchair on the side and take out a few sticks of different lengths from it.
The imperial doctors looked at Su Yizhao's violent appearance and didn't know what she wanted to do. They were all frightened into silence.
"Two adults, there is chaos outside now, and the battle for the palace has begun. We must use the weapons we have to protect the emperor."
Su Yizhao said as he glanced at the queen whose mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth, "Well, there is also the queen."
