In front of the Kunning Palace gate, the aggressive Guo Xu rushed to the door with all the guards. Seeing this, several chamberlains at the door vaguely knew that something was wrong, because Guo Xu and others were holding weapons and covered in blood, looking murderous.
It was immediately obvious that something was wrong. At that moment, several chamberlains hurriedly fled to the palace, trying to rush in to report the news.
"Kill! Leave no one behind." Guo Xu raised his sword and shouted.
Zhao Yuankang on the side frowned and said in a low voice: "The Queen...kill her too?"
"Why not kill? What's the point of staying? Will you avenge his son in the future? Kill them all!" Guo Xu roared.
Zhao Yuankang had no choice but to shut up, waved his hand, and dozens of guards rushed into Kunning Palace like wolves and tigers. After a while, the screams of the maids in the palace were heard, and a massacre had begun. Guo Xuti
Holding a long sword, he strode into the Kunning Palace, walked through the long corridor in the front hall, and went straight to the residence of Queen Yuan in the back hall. Along the way, screams were heard everywhere around him, and the screams of the chambermaids before they died came one after another.
.
Guo Xu didn't care about this and just went to the back hall. Under the corridor, Queen Yuan was sitting on a small stool adding firewood to a small stove. An earthen pot was steaming on the stove.
Permeated with the smell of herbs.
Seeing Guo Xu and others suddenly barging in, Queen Yuan stood up suspiciously and frowned: "Prince Huai, Commander Zhao, why are you here? How come no one knows?"
Guo Xu laughed and said: "Because they are all dead. Now you are going to die too."
Queen Yuan was stunned and speechless. After a moment, she frowned and said, "Guo Xu, are you trying to usurp the throne and commit rebellion? Where is the emperor? How is the emperor? Where is Guo Mian, where is he?"
Guo Chong slowly approached with his sword in hand and said with a ferocious smile: "Guo Mian? He was killed by me and is on the road to Huangquan. Does the Queen want to see him? It's very simple. I will give you a ride. You mother and son should still be able to do it."
We met. As for my father, everything is fine, but he is a little angry. I don’t know why he is angry."
Empress Yuan was stunned for a long time, and she shed tears in her eyes. She said softly: "I knew it would be like this. Mian'er was very happy, but I was worried to death. Is the position of prince a good thing? I became uneasy after he became the king.
Ning, I was worried that something would happen. Now it turned out to be the case. He really died because of this. Poor Mian'er, he is not this material at all. I reminded him. Didn't you kill the emperor? You haven't fallen into this trap yet.
Beast. You want to kill me? Then go ahead and kill me. But please wait a moment while I boil this pot of medicine."
Guo Xu frowned and said, "What kind of medicine is this?"
"This is the medicine that the emperor will take at night. Since you didn't kill the emperor, I still have to boil the medicine. This is the last time I will prepare medicine for the emperor." Queen Yuan said, actually sat down and picked up the medicine.
A small cattail leaf fan fanned the firewood.
Although Queen Yuan did not come from a wealthy family, she had a calm and stable personality and was extremely intelligent. As soon as Guo Xu came in, she knew that something big had happened today. In fact, Queen Yuan was not keen on Guo Mian becoming the prince, and she knew her son better than her mother.
She knew that Guo Mian's temperament might not be suitable for inheriting the throne. Besides, she didn't like the quarrel between the crown prince and Xiao Qiang. She had always been worried about Xiao Qiang getting into trouble, and hoped that Guo Mian could give in, even if he wasn't the crown prince. But.
After all, she couldn't convince the emperor and Guo Mian, so she had to let them go. So when Guo Xu said that he had killed Guo Mian, Queen Yuan felt sad, but she was not particularly surprised, because she had already begun to think about it for a long time.
It can be said that I am mentally prepared for this.
.
Facing Queen Yuan's silence, Guo Xu became inexplicably panicked. He stepped forward quickly, raised his foot and kicked the medicine jar away. It hit the wall and smashed into pieces. He said sternly: "What kind of medicine can you get at this time?"
?Do you think he is still in the mood to take medicine?"
Queen Yuan slowly stood up, glanced at the medicinal soup everywhere on the wall, turned to look at Guo Xu and sighed: "Guo Xu, it's just a throne. That's your father and brother. How could you
What about disregarding ethics? How is that different from an animal? If you want to be the emperor, you must fight for it openly, instead of relying on this method. You will be infamy for thousands of years, and you have also broken the rules of the Zhou Dynasty. Even if you become the emperor,
In the future, Dazhou will definitely be in trouble and will learn from you. Don’t you think so?"
"Shut up! You don't need to teach me what to do. You are about to die, why don't you beg me for mercy?" Guo Xu shouted angrily.
"I know that I will die. If you kill Mian'er, why would you care about killing one more me? If you want to kill, just kill him. As you said, if Mian'er had just died in your hands, his soul would not be far away. Maybe I
We can still catch up with him on the Huangquan Road." Empress Yuan sighed and shook her head.
Guo Xu was stunned for a long time, looking at Queen Yuan's raised slender neck, but he felt a little scared. But this emotion disappeared in a flash, and soon he became as hard as iron.
"Queen, please don't blame me. I blame only the will of God. I was born as the son of my father. I can't just sit back and wait for death. If I don't kill you, will you spare me? I'm sorry!"
After Guo Xu finished speaking, he thrust out his sword. The sword pierced Queen Yuan's chest. As soon as Guo Xu pulled out the sword, blood rushed out, and the Queen's body slowly fell to the ground, and her soul returned to hell.
Zhao Yuankang led his men to kill everyone in Kunning Palace. According to Guo Xu's instructions, no one around the Queen and Concubine Rong could be left. There were hundreds of maids and chambermaids in Kunning Palace, drinking tea, screaming and screaming.
When the shouting ended, hundreds of people were lying dead on the spot, blood was flowing all over the ground, and the ground was bloody.
After the killing, Sun Kang came with a group of guards. He was shocked when he saw the corpses on the ground, but he did not dare to say anything.
"Sun Kang, have you caught Qian Delu?" Guo Xu asked with a livid face.
"The humble minister deserves to die. He let Qian Delu run away. We chased him out, but we were afraid that the matter would be known to the people, so we didn't dare to pursue him deeply, so we had to let him escape. Your Highness, please forgive me." Sun Kang knelt down and kowtowed.
.
"It's really useless." Zhao Yuankang said angrily from the side: "Whoever lets him go must be punished severely. Such a thing cannot be done well."
Sun Kanglian claimed that it was true and kowtowed repeatedly.
Guo Xu frowned and said: "That's all, let's just run away. Can he still run to the edge of the world? We finally got him. We will arrest him later. Now you follow me to Shoukang Palace. Let's go visit me, Da Zhou."
The old lady is going."
Zhao Yuankang and Sun Kang trembled, thinking in their hearts: "Could it be that Guo Xu wanted to kill his own grandmother? What happened today was bloody enough, didn't Guo Xu think it was enough? Killing the Queen Mother would be really too much.
Already."
…
Qian Delu was lying on the chariot shaft, and an arrow pierced his back and almost penetrated his body. His rapid breathing and dizziness made Qian Delu know that he didn't have much time left. But he still mustered up the last strength.
, the driver's carriage and horses ran wildly along the street, all the way to Lin Jue's residence in Xiangguo Temple. In the midst of his busy schedule, he even reached out and touched the national seal in his arms. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility and must make it to Lin Jue's home.
.must
To report what happened in the palace and entrust the imperial seal to Lin Jue, this was his final goal in life.
Soon after, Qian Delu, his whole body soaked in blood, rushed to the door of Lin Jue's house, fell off the carriage with a thud, and lay down at the foot of the stone steps in front of Lin Jue's house.
The gatekeeper of Lin's house saw Qian Delu falling in front of the door covered in blood, and immediately went to check. Qian Delu struggled and shouted: "I am a member of the palace, go and report to Master Lin quickly, I want to see him
...I want to see him."
The servants hurriedly reported in and carried Qian Delu into the hall. Lin Jue and the girls were preparing for dinner in the flower hall of the back house. After hearing the report, they hurried to the hall and recognized Qian Delu at a glance.
was shocked.
"Eunuch Qian, Eunuch Qian, why is it you? What's wrong with you?"
Qian Delu had fallen into a semi-conscious state, but his hands were still holding the hem of his clothes tightly to protect the things in his arms. Hearing Lin Jue's cry, Qian Delu opened his eyes and reached out to grab it.
Lin Jue's hands were shaking with excitement.
"Lin...Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin..." Qian Delu shouted hoarsely.
"Don't be excited, don't be excited. Let me see where you are injured?" Lin Jue hurriedly checked his injuries. This inspection made his heart freeze. A feather arrow shot from the back and penetrated seven or eight inches deep.
, was nailed deeply into Qian Delu's body. If Qian Delu hadn't been fat, it would have penetrated his chest. The blood stained Qian Delu's entire body.
"How to save him? How to save him?" Lin Jue turned around and asked loudly.
Bai Bing sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Husband, I'm afraid it's hopeless. Don't pull out the arrow. The reason why he is still alive is because the arrow is still in his body. As soon as he pulls out the arrow, he will be gone."
His internal organs are ruptured and he is bleeding, and it will kill him within a few breaths. At present, we can only give him some medicine, but it won't last long."
Qian Delu shouted in a hoarse voice: "Leave me alone, leave me alone. Master Lin, leave me alone... Go and save the emperor. Guo Xu... Guo Xu has rebelled, Zhao Yuankang... Zhao Yuankang is theirs
, they have killed the prince and are forcing the emperor to ascend the throne. Quickly find a way to save the emperor."
Lin Jue and everyone in the hall were stunned as if they were struck by lightning. This news was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was stunned.
"...Master Lin...the things I have here...you must take good care of them...take them out...quickly, quick." Qian Delu shouted to himself, reaching out to tear the clothes on his chest.
Lin Jue hurriedly reached inside and took out the square object wrapped in yellow brocade. The tentacles were extremely heavy.
"...This is...the national seal of my great Zhou Dynasty. Our family brought it out during the chaos. Guo Xu couldn't get the national seal, so he was not justified. He couldn't be allowed to get this thing, so I brought it out."
, I will leave it to Mr. Lin for safekeeping at this time. Mr. Lin... please swear to God that you will keep the national seal well and return it to the emperor in the future. Mr. Lin... The only one our family can trust is you. I hope you will live up to my trust...
...In the future...if you can see the emperor...tell the emperor, I, Qian Delu...have been loyal throughout my life, but I have not betrayed the emperor's...trust!"
Qian Delu's breathing suddenly intensified, and his throat was like the roar of pine trees in the forest, mixed with sharp and harsh howls. That was his last struggle, and he could no longer breathe. After saying these words, he
He had exhausted all his concentration. Suddenly, his head tilted down, and the convulsing fingers that were holding Lin Jue suddenly relaxed and hung down softly.
