Countless men in black poured into the hall.
At the same time, the Royal Forest Army also arrived, and the two sides fought fiercely.
Many innocent eunuchs and maids were killed with one knife, many ministers were seriously injured, and the marble floor was covered with blood.
The emperor and the prince were protected by dozens of imperial guards in the middle. Li Jingshu was shivering and hiding behind the emperor. On the outside were the generals of the court. Chu Yi was holding a knife, his eyes were red from the killing, and his body was covered with blood spatters.
The queen was beside them, and she was also protected by a group of royal guards.
She looked at the sky to the east. Logically speaking, her people should have controlled the four gates. Why is there no signal yet?
But she believed that she would not fail.
She arranged for a thousand dead soldiers to assassinate the emperor, and another four thousand dead soldiers to attack from the outside of the imperial city. Controlling the four gates was equivalent to controlling the entire palace.
As for the imperial guards, most of them had been bribed by her a long time ago, and the other half were not to be feared.
Although there were many people in the military camp stationed outside the city, she sent a lot of liquor in the name of the emperor's birthday banquet early in the morning, and the guards were already drunk.
The only thing she was afraid of was the eight thousand elite soldiers in Chu Yi's hands to suppress the bandits. However, she created a little chaos in Jizhou a few days ago, and those eight thousand elite soldiers were sent to Jizhou.
She had planned everything and there was no way anything could go wrong.
The queen believed in herself extremely.
However, she waited and waited, and when all the dead soldiers were almost killed, she realized something was wrong.
How come there are so many imperial guards in the palace?
Outside the palace, why hasn't there been any news?
Which part went wrong?
"Your Majesty, there's a fire at the east gate, it's under control!"
"Your Majesty, someone in Ximen has used force and has taken off the head!"
"Your Majesty..."
Many royal guards came to report.
The queen's pupils shrank suddenly, these were not the Royal Forest Army, they were clearly Chu Yi's soldiers!
In other words, everything about her was predicted by Chu Yi, who deliberately made her believe that the eight thousand elite soldiers had gone to Jizhou, but in fact they were hidden in the palace!
Chu Yi is hidden deeper than Chu Mo!
Chu Yi is the most difficult person to deal with!
However, she knew this too late!
"Empress..."
Aunt Yin supported the queen's shaky figure.
The queen looked at the momentum in the hall, and her heart slowly fell into despair.
The emperor will not die, the people who will die are her, the prince, and the prince's children!
But the prince knows nothing...
"What should I do, Madam..." Grandma Yin's voice was filled with despair, "Old slave, I am willing to admit all my sins. Madam, please take care of yourself..."
The Queen shook her head.
Assassinating the Holy Emperor and forcing the palace to seize the throne, how could a nun do it?
If you want to save the prince, there is only one way now.
She looked towards the main hall and the situation became clear, so Chu Yi led a group of people to search for lurking assassins in the darkness outside the main hall to avoid being attacked by surprise.
Take advantage of it now!
"Save the Emperor!"
The queen shouted suddenly.
I saw the dead soldiers who had been scattered suddenly gathered in an orderly manner and headed towards the emperor without fear of death.
The generals around the emperor were exhausted and unable to resist, so they retreated continuously.
"Erlang, I'm afraid..."
Li Jingshu hid behind the emperor, her face turned pale with fright and she staggered.
The emperor protected her and comforted her: "There is nothing to be afraid of like a bunch of people. Don't be afraid. You will be safe soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the leading man in black suddenly broke through the encirclement, the long sword in his hand pointed directly at the emperor's eyebrows.
The emperor's personal guard immediately blocked it with a long sword.
He was confident enough to block the blow.
To him, it's not a big problem at all.
Then, before he could reach out his long sword, he saw a woman's figure rushing over from the side, rushing straight towards the long sword.
Puff.
It was the sound of a sharp instrument penetrating flesh.
The emperor's pupils tightened violently, and he said in disbelief: "...Queen?"
"Your Majesty... Just be fine." The queen slowly fell down with a smile on her lips, "My concubine's life is not in vain."
"Queen!" The emperor stretched out his arms to hug her lower body and sat on the ground. "How, how could you..."
He married the Queen when he was young, and they have been married for thirty years. On the surface, the two of them looked respectful to each other, but in fact, he did not sleep with the Queen throughout the year. He only went to Kunning Palace to sit in the Kunning Palace on the fifteenth day of every month as a token, and did not stay overnight. , in his opinion, the relationship between husband and wife has long been gone between him and the queen.
He never dreamed that at this critical moment of life and death, it would be the queen standing in front of him.
The one he loves is hiding behind him.
The people he had hurt were standing in front of him.
"Someone! Come quickly! Doctor!"
The emperor yelled in a broken voice.
However, under such circumstances, how could an imperial doctor come?
He saw the queen slowly closing her eyes, and felt great panic in his heart.
At this time, a voice sounded from behind him. It was Li Jingshu who shouted in horror: "Your Majesty, be careful!"
A man in black came out of nowhere.
Li Jingshu had been hiding behind the emperor. Seeing this, she quickly let go of the emperor and ran away among the flowers and trees.
The knife in the man's hand was heading straight towards the emperor's face.
"Uncle Emperor!"
A thin figure stood in front of the emperor.
The emperor was once again in disbelief.
The person standing in front of him was Chu Rui, whom he had always been afraid of.
Because of his birthday, Chu Rui, who had already become a commoner, went to the palace to offer him a birthday gift.
The man in black pierced Chu Rui's body with his knife, then pulled it out and headed towards the emperor.
"Bold maniac!"
The spear in Chu Yi's hand pierced the body of the man in black and saved the emperor.
As soon as the man in black died, the others saw that the situation was over and bit off their tongues one after another.
At this point, all the men in black were dead in the hall.
There were countless casualties in the main hall, including palace maids, eunuchs, concubines, ministers and guards... blood flowed like rivers.
The emperor was not injured, but was frightened, and his voice was weak: "Hurry up and arrange for the imperial doctor to save people, hurry up and save people!"
The living people immediately dealt with the aftermath, treating illnesses and rescuing people, carrying away corpses, and cleaning up the main hall...
Although the emperor was extremely tired, he had no intention of resting and arranged for the Royal Forest Army and Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation.
Under such circumstances, these people were very efficient in their work. That night, they sent the found information to the emperor's desk.
"Report to the Emperor, most of the royal guards in the palace have been bribed, it's the Queen!"
"Those dead soldiers have been raised for more than twenty years, and there are traces showing that they have contacts with people from the Gongsun family!"
"Your Majesty, the person who arranged the assassination is most likely the Queen!"
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately opposed by the princelings.
"This is nonsense! The Queen has breathed her last in order to protect the Emperor. She is already dead. How can you pour dirty water on a dead person!"
"The emperor and empress have a deep love for each other. There is no way that the empress would do such a thing!"
The prince's face was full of tears: "Father, my mother's death cannot be in vain. Concubine Fang and the child in her belly are also dead. Father, please find out who did it and avenge the mother and child... "
