Chapter 414
The next day, there was an uproar in the entire imperial city. The reason is of course that the news came from nowhere. Her Majesty the Empress was assassinated last night and was seriously injured.
The news was like the wind, spreading throughout the streets and alleys of the entire imperial city. Let the entire imperial city boil instantly.
In the past two days, as soon as the envoys from various countries left, Her Majesty the Empress was assassinated. This made many people secretly wonder if there was any connection between the two.
Of course, for ordinary people, the fact that Her Majesty the Empress was assassinated and has been unconscious until now is a big deal. You must know that the king of a country is the pillar of a country. If something happens, the people will be the first to feel uneasy.
In a small tea shed outside the capital city, some people who were tired from the journey gathered together, drank herbal tea, and discussed together.
"Have you all heard about the assassination of Her Majesty the Empress?" One person muttered in a low voice, his eyes flickering.
Another person glanced around, and said, "This matter is spreading all over the place now, who doesn't know about it."
"I heard that all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are helpless, and they seem to be seriously injured."
"Who says it's not? I've heard that this time, life may be in danger." One of them murmured cautiously.
The others all looked at each other, looked around, and continued, "You said, as soon as the envoys from various countries left, Her Majesty the Empress was assassinated. Among them, there will be no..." Before finishing speaking, the man looked around One glance, no deep taboo.
"You mean..." One person tentatively said, "In the Four Kingdoms, someone assassinated His Majesty?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was gagged by a few people on the side.
"You are looking for death, can you say such nonsense? You are not afraid of being heard by the people in the court, and then..." One person put his hand under his neck, making a click.
The man shrank his neck in fright and dared not speak any more.
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking, hurry up and rest, and continue on our way later." One person spoke, and the rest immediately shut up, with fear on their faces.
After drinking their tea, they picked up their salutes and left in a hurry. They didn't notice that on a table behind them, a woman in blue and white cotton clothes wearing a bamboo hat raised her head and cast her eyes towards the direction of the palace. There was a hint of worry in her eyes. .
"It's not really that serious, is it?" The low whisper was instantly blown away by the wind, and no one heard it.
Throwing down a few copper coins, the woman left quickly, and her direction was the Imperial Palace in the capital!
Palace
Now the place is in chaos, the ministers are pushing and shouting, one after another they are going to the Palace of Heaven to visit Junli. But they were all stopped by Prime Minister Meng Shi Feng Ye and others.
"Master Prime Minister, what is the current situation of Your Majesty, you can give me an accurate statement!" An adult couldn't help but said.
The rest of the adults echoed, "Yes, whether His Majesty's life is in danger, Mr. Prime Minister, hurry up and tell me!"
"..."
Hearing the voices of the ministers chattering in unison, Shi Feng frowned, and a sinister aura emerged from his face. The killing atmosphere that belongs to the battlefield is undoubtedly revealed at this time.
That kind of breath instantly frightened all the ministers who were about to move.
Shi Feng swept his eyes coldly, and all the ministers froze instantly due to the piercing chill, and couldn't help shivering.
One of the ministers couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he changed the subject, "Hey, why didn't Mr. Chen come?"
After the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on the minister who spoke with doubts. The minister looked embarrassed, "It's the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Chen."
Hearing this, everyone understood, and then it occurred to me that there seemed to be such a person.
Prime Minister Meng swept his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't Mr. Chen come?" Today is the early court.
After the words fell, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Jing Zhaoyi took a step forward and said, "Master Chen was injured two days ago, so he asked for sick leave."
Hearing this, all the ministers remained silent and looked at Prime Minister Meng and the others quietly.
Shi Feng and the others looked at each other, and Prime Minister Meng said, "Last night, some villains assassinated His Majesty, and everyone must have known about it."
After saying that, Prime Minister Meng glanced around, and continued, "Your Majesty has suffered some injuries, but after being treated by the imperial doctor, there is no serious problem. But his complexion is a little bad, so we will not go to court today. If your lords are all right, Please go back and perform your duties well."
Hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, but they also knew that there would be no results if they continued to stay, so they left one by one.
It wasn't until the ministers went away that Shi Feng and the others looked at each other that they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I'll be guarding the Sky Palace, you guys go back too." Shi Feng said in a deep voice, Prime Minister Meng and the others nodded.
It wasn't until several people left that Shi Feng turned around and headed towards the Sky Palace with some guards.
Qingyun Hall
Junli was assassinated last night, but when Su Yunqing received the news, it was this morning.
As soon as he heard that Jun Li was assassinated and his life was at stake, his face instantly turned pale as paper. If it wasn't for a group of attendants to stop him, he might have already rushed to the Sky Palace by now.
"zero."
After the words fell, a black shadow appeared instantly. He lowered his head slightly, with a respectful expression on his face.
"Go and see how she is, okay?" His voice was full of pleading, and Ling Ling raised his eyes and looked at him lightly.
"Your Majesty is fine." A few simple words made Su Yunqing's heart instantly settle down.
"How do you know?" He said, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
Ling lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Your Majesty, you might as well think carefully about what your Majesty said to you the night before." After speaking, his body flickered and he disappeared quickly.
Su Yunqing was slightly stunned, then lowered her head in thought. After a while, his body shook, and there was a hint of peace in his eyes.
"It's fine..." The low murmur finally turned into a sigh, floating in the air.
Moran Hall
Xiao Moran leaned against the window, looking at the sky palace in the distance, and there was a worry in his eyes that he didn't even realize.
"It should be fine..." There was a trace of uncertainty and deep worry in the voice.
Subconsciously touching the jade pendant around his neck with his hands, a faint longing appeared in his eyes.
"I will wait for you, you have to come quickly." After the voice fell, his eyes drifted to the Sky Palace not far away again, and a complex expression flowed from his eyes.
"You, you will be fine..." The voice was low, like raving, drifting with the wind.
As the sky gradually darkened, a bluish-white figure leaped forward from outside the palace wall, quickly shuttling through the palace like no one else was there.
After a long time, a bluish-white figure appeared in the shadows outside the Temple of the Sky, looked around cautiously, then moved his body, and appeared in the Temple of the Sky like a ghost.
