All this happened in an instant, so that no one at the scene could react.
Until there was a thud and someone bumped into Lu Yunqi's leg.
This person was not the fallen emperor, but the queen mother who was thrown to the ground and ignored.
She was still unable to speak and her body was stiff, but she slammed into Lu Yunqi with all her strength and let out a whimpering cry.
The sound finally woke up everyone present.
"Escort!"
Yuan Bao, who was standing nearest, let out a hiss.
But he didn't pounce, but backed away, with a look of horror on his face.
He knew that Lu Yunqi was very powerful, and he was always on guard, but he never dreamed that Lu Yunqi would actually raise his hand and kill the king!
Regicide!
Regicide!
The emperor was killed!
Yuan Bao screamed, and then he saw Lu Yunqi turning his head slightly to look at him.
Lu Yunqi's eyes were dull, but Yuan Bao felt as if a needle had stabbed his tailbone, and half of his body was numb.
not good…
The thought flashed through his mind, and Lu Yunqi raised his hand.
The iron umbrella that had just blocked the silver hairpin thrown by Miss Jun was inserted into his chest with a pop. With a bang, Yuan Bao's eyes widened, his mouth opened and he fell to the ground.
With another bang, the iron umbrella inserted into his chest unfolded, covering the splattered blood.
After throwing out the iron umbrella, Lu Yunqi still held the belt in his hand. With a raise of his hand, the belt was tightened, and the emperor's head, which was already livid and sticking out his tongue, fell softly.
There was chaos in the main hall.
In the blink of an eye, the emperor's life and death were unknown, Yuan Bao was killed, and the servants were like flies without their heads, screaming, not knowing whether to aim the crossbows at Miss Jun and the Qingshan Army, or at Lu Yunqi.
"Lu Yunqi! Let go of Your Majesty!"
A clear and angry voice sounded among the noise.
Miss Jun immediately looked for the sound and saw another person coming out from behind the screen.
With his neat official robe and clear face, he is none other than Ning Yunzhao.
At this time he looked angry.
As a disciple of a saint and the master of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, he must protect the emperor!
With such civil servants, you will have support.
The panicked chamberlains couldn't help but stop, grabbed the bows and arrows they were about to shoot, and stopped the swords they were about to slash at.
The Queen Mother lying on the ground also felt a glimmer of hope.
Escort.
Escort.
"Guards, capture these eunuchs quickly!" Ning Yunzhao didn't keep them waiting, he immediately shouted after them.
What he called was the Imperial Guard.
It's just that there are no guards in this palace except for the chamberlains and the Qingshan Army.
No, these Qingshan troops are now serving as guards in the palace.
And what he wants to kill is the eunuch.
In fact, these eunuchs were not thieves to the emperor.
It's over.
The Queen Mother's last hope was shattered.
When Ning Yunzhao finished speaking, Miss Jun had already raised her hand, and as she raised her hand, the Qingshan Army surrounding her shot out with a bang like arrows full of strings.
The chamberlains who had recovered their senses were a step too late to draw their bows and use their swords.
The long knife was swung, and flesh and blood flew everywhere, just like harvesting rice in the autumn. People screamed one after another, and people fell down one by one.
There is no need to protect Miss Jun, there is no need to go straight to the emperor, and there is no need to worry about reinforcements from the servants outside.
The Qingshan Army, whose only goal is to kill people, is like a wolf that has fallen into the flock of sheep.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the palace was full of chamberlains and no one was standing.
Either dead, or injured and wailing and writhing on the ground.
The hall was full of scenes and noisy, but it was still much quieter than before.
Ning Yunzhao looked at Lu Yunqi.
Lu Yunqi still held the belt with both hands, and the emperor stood in front of him with his head bowed.
"Didn't I tell you not to kill His Majesty?" Ning Yunzhao said.
His words were scolding, and there was a bit of anger in his voice.
But at this moment, the scolding and anger seemed weird.
This is not just something that should be scolded and annoyed.
Lu Yunqi's expression remained blank, and he did not look at Ning Yunzhao, only looking at Miss Jun.
"I said it," he said, frowning slightly, "It's useless, it will only hurt yourself."
His hand was still restraining the emperor, and his body was spattered with blood spots where Yuan Bao had been killed. The palace was in a mess, and the situation outside was unknown, but this was the first thing he said.
"Fortunately, I arrived." He continued.
It seems that this is the biggest thing in the world.
This person, this person….
Miss Jun looked at Lu Yunqi, clenched her hands hanging by her side, and had a complicated expression on her originally calm face.
he…..
What does he mean?
What does he mean?
What on earth does he want to do?
Lu Yunqi looked at her and then at the emperor in front of him.
"I'm telling you the answer." He said, "He didn't die of illness, he died like this."
This way of telling the answer is too...
It turns out that my father was strangled to death?
Miss Jun looked at the emperor who had no reaction.
Such a death.
It would be worse to die like this than to be stabbed to death with a knife.
It's hard to die like this.
Especially since my father is still ill and in poor health, he is easily out of breath.
Miss Jun seemed to see her father's painful appearance before his death.
Then they said that the mother hanged herself, so she was obviously strangled to death.
Her eyes were blurred by tears.
"What are you still doing?"
Ning Yunzhao's voice sounded again.
"Put your Majesty down quickly."
Lu Yunqi looked at him, and Miss Jun also looked at him.
"Didn't I tell you that Your Majesty cannot die?" Ning Yunzhou said with a frown. Although he seemed a little anxious, his face remained warm and his tone was steady, "Put His Majesty down quickly."
Lu Yunqi let go of his hand, and the emperor fell to the ground with a thud.
Ning Yunzhao was startled.
"Be careful," he said.
The Queen Mother also made a whining sound and tried to crawl towards this side.
Ning Yunzhao looked at the Queen Mother and seemed to have noticed her presence at this moment.
"Don't scare the queen." He said, shaking his head to Lu Yunqi, "Let the queen rest for a while."
Although his demeanor and tone were very kind.
But the Queen Mother will never regard him as a kind person now.
The Queen Mother's eyes widened and she whined louder.
Lu Yunqi had already stepped over and put his hand on the Queen Mother's neck. There was a soft click and the Queen Mother fell down softly and became motionless.
"Don't kill him." Ning Yunzhao said with a frown, then quickly lowered his head to look at the emperor on the ground, stretched out his hand to test his breath.
"I'm out of breath!" He raised his voice, as if he was frightened, and looked at Lu Yunqi, "Master Lu, you shouldn't be unreliable!"
This should be the first person besides the emperor to praise Lu Yunqi's reliability, right?
Lu Yunqi is indeed reliable, even when he is killing people and cheating on behalf of the emperor.
Ning Yunzhao didn't let everyone feel the weirdness of this sentence, and looked at Miss Jun.
"Miss Jun, come and see if His Majesty can be saved?"
Miss Jun did not take a step.
Although she didn't go to check, she could tell from the distance that the emperor could still be saved.
But she was the only one who could save him. For other doctors, he was already dead.
Ning Yunzhao understood her expression.
"Miss Jun, please save Your Majesty." He said seriously.
This is really funny.
Just now, she tried her best to fight for death and almost killed him.
save?
Why should she save him?
Miss Jun looked at Ning Yunzhao without moving.
"Miss Jun." Ning Yunzhao also looked at her, "Death is not the best way to solve the problem."
Miss Jun was indifferent.
"Actually, Miss Jun didn't want to kill His Majesty like this. She was forced to have no choice today, so she had to live and die." Ning Yunzhao continued, "Even if we fight to the death, it doesn't mean anything to Miss Jun.
Good thing."
Yes, this is not a good thing for her, especially for her who has finally reached this point.
If I take a step back and say whether she is good or not, it doesn't matter at first, but it will implicate Jiufang.
What she wants is for Jiu Fu to take back everything that belongs to him in an open and honest manner, rather than for a regicide like herself to be put on the throne.
Although for this emperor, such death is retribution.
Miss Jun was silent.
But save him?
"Miss Jun, if he doesn't die now," Ning Yunzhao said, "that's the best outcome."
………
………
At this time, the tightly closed palace door blocked out the earth-shattering events inside. From the outside, everything seemed calm.
The imperial guards were patrolling outside the imperial city, people were walking around in the streets, vendors were selling their goods, the city gates were closed on all sides, and the soldiers on the city gates were looking at the outside of the city warily. There was no one on the road that was originally filled with people.
But the imperial mausoleum, which had always been quiet and solemn, became noisy.
"Who dares to stop me!"
"I'm waiting for Minister Gu Ming!"
"Now that the Jin people are wreaking havoc and have not retreated, and the emperor is away and has not returned, how can we stabilize the country?"
"If you dare to block it, you are causing chaos in the government!"
A group of ministers held up the wat tablets and shouted loudly. They showed no ordinary elegance at all. They pushed and pushed a group of royal guards and rushed towards a palace in the imperial mausoleum.
The Jin Yiwei seemed to be shocked and unable to stand, and seemed to hesitate because of their words.
"You either have to kill us all in front of the emperor's mausoleum today, or we must see His Majesty!" Ning Yan shouted solemnly.
Having experienced fighting against the Jin soldiers and leading an army to defend the city, and seeing blood and injuries, civil servants like Ning Yan became more aggressive.
"That's right!"
"If we can use our lives to wake up His Majesty, it is a worthy death."
The ministers behind him also shouted angrily.
They moved forward again, and the imperial guards who were blocking the way began to retreat. Finally, Ning Yan pushed one of them away. Just like the embankment opened, the officials suddenly rushed towards the palace in front of them like a flood.
The Jinyi guards followed but did not stop him and watched Ning Yan arrive in front of the palace.
A group of chamberlains stood in front of the palace, and they came to stop him in anger and panic.
But to Ning Yan and others, these chamberlains were even more dismissive and not as scary as the ruthless Jin Yiwei. Without even bothering to say a word, they knocked these chamberlains aside and pushed open the palace door.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
The officials' voices rang out in confusion in the hall, but they soon became quiet.
A group of people looked at the empty room with surprised expressions.
"Where is your Majesty?" they asked.
The servants who followed looked flustered and hesitant and secretive, which surprised the courtiers even more.
"Speak quickly, where is your Majesty?" Ning Yan raised his eyebrows and shouted.
"Your Majesty, I won't see you." A chamberlain said with a bit of stubbornness although he was panic-stricken.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yan kicked him down.
"Slave thieves!" he shouted, "How dare you disrupt the government!"
"Tell me where your Majesty is?" Other ministers also rushed up and shouted angrily.
Before the chamberlains could answer, the guard in Jinyi who followed and stood by the door spoke.
"Your Majesty is being escorted back to the palace by Eunuch Yuan." The leading guard said with a dull expression.
Back to the palace?
Ning Yan and others were stunned.
I asked you left and right before but refused to come back. Why did you go back secretly now?
Although the emperor left the palace secretly, he would not be stupid enough to think that if he went back secretly like this, everything would be as if it never happened.
There must be something wrong!
"Quickly, return to the palace!" Ning Yan said with a serious face.
............
........
The silver bracelet on the wrist was opened, revealing the hollow inside, and a slender silver needle was pinched out.
Miss Jun, who was half-kneeling beside the emperor, slowly inserted the silver needle into the emperor's neck.
The emperor, who was motionless at first, suddenly twitched and began to make a gurgling sound in his throat.
"Choke his neck." Miss Jun said.
Ning Yunzhao reached out and pinched the emperor's neck without hesitation.
Miss Jun's silver needle was suddenly pulled out.
This tiny silver needle seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, lifting half of the emperor's body with it.
Fortunately, Ning Yunzhao pressed hard and pressed down.
The emperor seemed to be choked by this force and couldn't breathe. He suddenly opened his mouth and eyes wide, and let out a heavy dry cough.
"Wake up!" Ning Yunzhao shouted.
The emperor's eyes were blank for a moment, and then his expression changed when he saw the person in front of him.
Seeing his change of expression, Ning Yunzhao's expression suddenly became solemn and uneasy.
This shows that His Majesty's consciousness has been fully restored and he naturally knows what happened just now.
Recovery is so fast!
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to press the emperor's mouth.
"No need." Miss Jun said, standing up straight and looking condescendingly at the emperor who was about to break away from Ning Yunzhao and half sit up with his hands, "He won't survive."
What does it mean to be unable to live? Isn’t this living?
Ning Yunzhao looked at the emperor in front of him.
The emperor opened his mouth wide, but did not say anything. He just kept coughing and coughing. As Miss Jun finished speaking, the emperor suddenly fell down like a broken bamboo pole.
Ning Yunzhao was caught off guard and was freed from his hand.
With a bang, the emperor lay on his back on the ground.
But his eyes were still wide, and his face seemed to be flushed due to pain, and his eyes were filled with anger and fear.
Consciousness is fully awake.
Ning Yunzhao looked at the emperor, listened to the intermittent coughing sounds coming from his mouth, and looked at his motionless body that seemed to be struggling.
"The mouth cannot speak and the body cannot move?" he said.
"You only said you wouldn't let him die," Miss Jun said, "You didn't say you let him live."
Ning Yunzhao looked up at her.
"So, this is half-death?" he said.
Miss Jun did not speak, but looked at the emperor on the ground indifferently.
The emperor also looked at her, his eyes expressing anger and fear.
It's just a look.
So what?
"I admire you." Ning Yunzhao looked up at Miss Jun and said.
He didn't get up, didn't wait for Miss Jun to speak, he looked away, half-knelt on the ground, flicked his hand, took out a scroll from his arms and unfolded it.
Because Miss Jun was condescending to see the scroll.
She recognized that this was a formal imperial edict, and she only saw a few words in it, so she was sure that it was a document for the crown prince.
Crown Prince.
Miss Jun's eyes fell on the edict and she could clearly see the word "褣".
Nine robes.
Nine robes!
This edict!
Canonize Jiuyi as the crown prince!
This edict was definitely not written by the emperor!
Her eyes fell on Ning Yunzhao, shocked and disbelieving.
he....
Ning Yunzhao ignored her gaze, but seriously unfolded the edict and showed it to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you see, this has been written." He said, "Let's issue the edict."
The emperor obviously recognized what it was, and his eyes became more confused, but it was just his eyes, and even his coughs remained calm without any fluctuation.
Is this so?
Is this all right?
As Miss Jun's thoughts flashed through her mind, she saw Ning Yunzhao placing the edict on the ground and taking out a seal from his sleeve.
Miss Jun looked shocked again.
Jade seal!
Ning Yunzhao placed the jade seal heavily on the edict, then stuffed the jade seal into the emperor's arms, raised the edict, and leaned in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," he said, his tone as respectful and sincere as before.
