"don't want!"
"His Majesty!"
Although the courtiers screamed in surprise, Emperor Zhou's throat had been cut.
He was startled for a moment, and instinctively reached out to press the blood vessel. Blood spurted out and soon stained his hand red.
The rapid blood loss not only made the pain worse, but also caused his physical strength to drain rapidly. He shook a few times and fell to his knees half-kneeling on the ground.
After probably pressing it a few times, he found that his hands were completely unable to stop the surging blood. He opened his mouth to say something.
But his throat was cut, and he could only make a breathy sound of "ho ho" and could not say anything.
Only his eyes showed his anger and dissatisfaction.
Then he fell to the ground, his body twitched for a while and then became unresponsive.
Just die?
When this idea flashed through Lin Qingge's mind, her entire brain was confused.
Since Concubine An wanted to kill Emperor Zhou, she would naturally lay out extremely strict arrangements, but... it was still too easy, right?
Emperor Zhou was cunning and cautious, so he could not be easily fooled.
In the end, he came just to see Zhou Chengzhang off, and let An Mingzhi brother and sister subcontract the imperial guards around him, and then killed him easily?
Various thoughts were flashing in her mind, but Concubine An was already laughing and tearing off her robe.
Something even more shocking happened, she was wearing a dragon robe underneath!
"Today I will kill Zhou Xian, a heartless and unjust person. Do all the lovers have no objections?" She said, shaking her sleeves with both hands, very saucyly.
At the same time, guards wearing swords and holding spears rushed in quickly, surrounded everyone, and shouted "Long live your Majesty!"
It is self-evident who arranged it.
The courtiers looked at each other, and many of them knelt down and started shouting: "See your majesty, long live your majesty."
Despite this, there were still many people standing.
People who kneel down cannot satisfy Concubine An's ambition to become emperor. Her focus is on those who are still standing!
Her gaze swept across everyone and landed on Lin Qingge. Her eyes narrowed slightly: "Lin Qingge, what do you mean now? Does it represent you personally, or is it a choice made by the Chu family?"
There was a smile on her face, but there was really no smile in her eyes. They were even full of coldness, which made people's hair stand on end.
Lin Qingge was a little helpless. There might not be too many people standing now, but there were definitely not many people standing there. Why did they focus on her at a glance?
But she quickly realized that Chu Nanfeng held military power and had a pivotal position in the court.
Once he surrenders to Concubine An, Concubine An's path to becoming emperor will be much smoother.
Otherwise, there may be another bloody storm.
Now that Chu Nanfeng is not here, the target of the attack is naturally aimed at her!
She was not sure whether Zhou Chenghan had the idea of proclaiming himself emperor, or which of the princes he wanted to support.
The only thing that is certain is that Zhou Chenghan will definitely not support Concubine An.
After Concubine An takes office, she will definitely deal with them one by one!
Therefore, Chu Nanfeng will definitely not give in on this issue.
As her wife, she should naturally advance and retreat with him.
"Empress..."
"Um?"
An onomatopoeic word escaped from Concubine An's red lips. Although she was not tall, the whole hall was filled with a low pressure.
I have to admit that some momentum is not exuded by the individual, but is given by strength.
When she controls the entire scene, going against her is a dead end.
Lin Qingge had no clue and immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty, how can I represent a woman like this? The change of court is something that Your Majesty and all your lords need to consider. My wife's small courtyard in four directions is enough."
He lowered his head slightly and lowered himself completely into the dust, hoping not to attract attention.
It's a pity that her identity will not let Concubine An ignore her.
"I didn't think about it." Concubine An curled her red lips, "Come here, bring Mrs. Chu and other women to the inner courtyard. We must treat them well, especially Mrs. Chu."
"yes."
Lin Qingge looked at the chamberlain who came closer, took a deep breath, thanked the emperor for his kindness, and then left.
She was calm on the face, but it was like a boiling pot was boiling inside.
Things took a turn for the worse, and it seemed as if everything was under Concubine An's control.
Those courtiers who are carrying him to death will not have good results. The question is what about Chu Nanfeng, why did he disappear at this juncture?
Could it be...
She glanced outside the courtyard wall. He went to count the soldiers, took advantage of the situation to counterattack, killed Concubine An, and supported Zhou Chenghan?
If this is the case, everything is really a matter of course.
Concubine An was the one who blocked the world's long-lost mouth. Zhou Chenghan became the emperor who protected the Great Zhou Dynasty. Chu Nanfeng was the hero who defended the royal family and became a legend for a generation.
Will she, the general's wife who calls Concubine An 'Your Majesty', be scolded by future generations for eternity?
She stretched out her hand and touched her nose. Her life was gone, so why did she still think about it so much?
Walking into the inner courtyard of the back house, the chamberlain said in a thin voice: "Mrs. Chu, take a rest here. My servant is waiting outside, ready for your orders at any time."
Lin Qingge was in a confused mood and had no idea. He waved his hand casually and the waiter withdrew.
Luo Hong walked to the door, listened to the sounds outside, locked the door and walked back to Lin Qingge. She lowered her voice and said, "Young Madam, is your Majesty really dead?"
When she said this, her eyes were full of doubts, even a bit incredulous.
Lin Qingge raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and sighed softly: "I don't think it should be so simple. In the palace, it's okay to be poisoned or something else, but when a generation of emperors travels, the Imperial Guards are so easily replaced. Of?"
This question lingered in her mind, making her feel very incomprehensible.
But just now, Emperor Zhou had his throat cut and died in front of her.
Laryngeal rupture, let alone this era, even with the advanced science and technology in the future, if the bleeding cannot be stopped immediately, there is only a dead end.
"Is it possible that that is not His Majesty?"
Isn't this... a bit imaginative?
Lin Qingge narrowed his eyes, stared at Luo Hong and said, "You don't want to tell me that there is really a clever disguise technique in this world, do you?"
"Of course there is. Moreover, my subordinates heard from Master Jiu before that children from wealthy families will raise a child around them who looks very similar to themselves since they were young. When we grow up together, let the other person learn everything from the master. Words and deeds. Let him die on his behalf when necessary."
Lin Qingge had either never heard of the term 'shadow', or he didn't take it to heart.
Now that Luo Hong mentioned it, she thought it was not impossible.
They are somewhat similar in nature. They can behave and speak very vividly in daily life. In special periods, with a little makeup, it is not impossible to fake the real thing.
It is doubtful whether the person who died in the hall was Emperor Zhou.
Lin Qingge's eyes rolled slightly and he said softly: "Luo Hong, find a way out and let Sixteen and Seventeen find Chu Nanfeng. If you want to know the truth now, you still have to start with him."
