Poor Family

Chapter 424, The Emperor is Poisoned

At the palace banquet, Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao were both a little absent-minded. When they saw King Yu following the emperor into the main hall, but Ye Lanzhi was nowhere to be seen, they both frowned.

Shi Fuxin calmly ate the food and wine on the table while using her mental energy to explore the palace.

Soon, Ye Lanzhi dressed as an eunuch was discovered in the cold palace.

Shi Fuxin was a little surprised to see Ye Lanzhi talking to the deposed Queen Mother and the deposed Queen without expression. Before she could continue to explore, she saw an imperial guard rushing into the hall.

"Your Majesty, General Du from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing just sent a letter from the flying pigeon, saying that traces of Ye Mo were found in the eastern suburbs. General Du wanted to bring Ye Mo back, but he didn't expect that Beidao and Xizhang would The supreme master appeared and directly forced Ye Mo into the mountains."

"General Du doesn't know what to do now, so he found out the news and asked the emperor to inform him."

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

The emperor said nothing and had no expression on his face, making it difficult to see any emotion.

The fourth prince looked at Shi Fuxin, Shi Dingxuan, and Shi Dinghao, and saw that the three brothers and sisters had no reaction and looked not very good. At this time, he noticed Dongfang Changqing winking at him.

Seeing Dongfang Changqing looking in the direction of Chu Yao, the fourth prince immediately understood what he meant.

Since the Shi brothers and sisters didn't take action, they were forced to take action.

"Father, the supreme master is very powerful. Although General Du is powerful, it is best not to face him head-on. He is not as skilled as Commander Chu. Why not let him go and see if he can save Ye Mo?"

One Ye Mo is not enough for the Shi family brothers and sisters to take risks, so what about adding Ye Mo?

Shi Fuxin glanced at the fourth prince, her eyes a little cold.

Chu Yao also knew what the fourth prince was planning, but he couldn't show anything strange at this time. He just turned his attention to the emperor, who looked like he was completely obeying orders.

The emperor glanced at the silent brothers and sisters of the Shi family, then at Chu Yao, and accepted the fourth prince's suggestion: "Then Chu Yao, please go there. Bai Yueguang is Ye Mo's apprentice. If possible, he can help him." return."

Chu Yao stood up and agreed, glanced at Shi Fuxin, then turned and left.

‘Don’t do anything, just take care of yourself! ’

As soon as he stepped out of the main hall door, Chu Yao's ears suddenly heard Shi Fuxin's voice.

Chu Yao was shocked, but he kept walking and left.

Shi Fuxin watched Chu Yao leave worriedly, but she was just worried and had no other reaction. After that, she ate in a depressed mood.

Even Shi Zhenghe and his wife, Shi Dingxuan and Shi Dinghao only looked worried, and did not say anything about leaving midway until the banquet was over.

The emperor sat in a high position and had a panoramic view of the reactions of Shi's family, and the hesitation in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

The fourth child's guess that Shi was Bai Yueguang was probably wrong.

When something happened to Ye Mo, Shi's family didn't panic at all and seemed sure that nothing would happen to Ye Mo.

The only reason that can explain this is that Bai Yueguang has someone else, and the Shi family knows that Bai Yueguang will save Ye Mo!

Bai Yueguang was not the Shi family. The emperor was relieved but also a little regretful.

He was relieved because the eldest prince wanted to compete with the fourth prince and needed the support of Shennongtang behind the Shi family, so the Shi family had to stay.

Unfortunately, if Shi Shi was really Bai Yueguang, he could use Ye Mo to get rid of Bai Yueguang, the ultimate master. This would not only eliminate a hidden danger, but also deter other ultimate masters and warriors.

Shi Fuxin lowered her head and ate the food and wine. She could clearly feel the murderous intent in the emperor's eyes as he glanced at her.

'Looking' at Ye Lanzhi in the cold palace who had already formed a united front with the deposed Queen Mother and the deposed Queen, Shi Fuxin silently withdrew her mental power.

In the cold palace, the deposed Queen Mother held the mutton-fat jade pendant given to her by Ye Lanzhi, her face full of guilt, and she looked at Ye Lanzhi with scarlet eyes: "You'd better keep your promise and protect the legitimate grandson of the Wei family, or else you will mourn." I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost.”

All the male members of the Wei family were secretly executed. It was King Yu who saved the 5-year-old boy of the Wei family.

Ye Lanzhi: "If a person has no faith, he will not stand."

The deposed queen mother closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and finally looked at the deposed queen mother: "The Wei family cannot interrupt the inheritance."

Seeing the deposed queen nodding dumbly, the deposed queen decisively picked up the burning lamp and lit the room directly.

The people arranged by King Yu poured oil on Leng Gong in advance, and the fire soon became bigger.

On the other side, the palace banquet was coming to an end. Just as the ministers were preparing to leave, they heard faint noises outside the palace.

"What happened?" The emperor was a little unhappy.

Eunuch Liu quickly sent someone to inquire about it. Soon, he whispered to the emperor in an anxious voice: "Your Majesty, the Leng Palace has been compromised."

The Emperor: "Why don't you hurry up and get someone to put out the fire!"

Knowing that the emperor did not want to pay attention to Leng Gong's affairs, Eunuch Liu said no more and turned around to explain.

The ministers present also knew that the prince had been deposed, and it had always been taboo for the queen mother and empress to enter the cold palace, so no one dared to say anything at this time.

No one thought that the fire in Leng Palace would burn so big. When he heard the noise outside the palace that continued, the emperor frowned and asked, "Hasn't the fire been brought under control yet?"

Before Eunuch Liu could answer, an old woman with disheveled hair and a messy body suddenly rushed into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is gone!"

The sudden change shocked everyone, even the emperor was stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother is gone, the Queen Mother will die!"

The old mama cried in grief: "Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you for the last time. Please go see the Queen so that she can go away with peace of mind."

The emperor had no feelings for the deposed queen mother and deposed empress, and their lives and deaths could not affect his mood.

But now, the deposed queen mother is dead and the deposed empress is about to die. The ministers all know that the deposed empress wants to see them for the last time. If they don't agree, it will inevitably appear too callous.

After all, the Queen Mother was his legitimate mother in name, and the Wei family had indeed helped him. In order not to appear too ruthless, the Emperor had no choice but to hold his breath and go to the Cold Palace.

The emperor was going to the Leng Palace, and the ministers present could not just leave. They could only follow him to see the situation in the Leng Palace.

A huge group of people walked towards Leng Palace.

The fire in Leng Palace has been suppressed, but the remaining thick smoke can still show the intensity of the previous fire.

At the entrance of the Cold Palace, the queen was lying in a state of embarrassment, with her face and hands burned in many places, her chest rising and falling weakly, and only a thin eunuch kneeling next to her to take care of her.

The emperor and his entourage came over and were a little silent when they saw the queen's appearance.

"emperor."

The queen raised her hand with difficulty, stretched out to the emperor, and looked at the emperor expectantly.

Concubine Liu Guifei, who had been fighting with the queen for decades, felt a little sad when she saw that the queen could not let go of the emperor when she was dying, but the emperor stood still with an indifferent expression.

"emperor."

The queen's voice was a little lower, and her raised hands were trembling, as if she couldn't hold on anymore.

"Why"

Someone in the crowd sighed, and then sighs resounded one after another.

After hearing the sigh, the emperor hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the queen, stopped a step away from the queen, and looked down at the queen who was burned beyond recognition.

The queen's hand was still raised, but the emperor remained unmoved.

Unable to do so, the queen could only ask the eunuch beside her to help her sit up.

The eunuch had no strength, so as a last resort, the queen reached out and grabbed the emperor's robe, and with the help of the tug, she sat up with difficulty.

The emperor frowned, but did not shake the queen away after all.

After the queen sat up, she gasped for breath for a while, and then asked with difficulty: "Your Majesty, my concubine is about to die. Tell me, have you ever been sincere to me?"

Looking at the queen with tears in her eyes, the emperor frowned even more.

Seeing that the emperor did not answer, the queen suddenly became excited and grabbed the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, you have never liked me, have you?"

"In your heart, whether it's me or the prince, we are just tools for you to use, right?"

The queen looked excited and held the emperor's hand tightly.

Although the emperor felt his hand hurt from being pulled by the queen, he couldn't just throw away the queen at this moment, and he didn't notice that the armor on the queen's hand had scratched the back of his hand.

The queen looked at the emperor sadly: "Your Majesty, you don't like me, why do you make me the queen, and why do you make my son the prince?"

"I understand, you are paving the way for the eldest prince, right?"

"Among so many princes, your favorite is the eldest prince born to Empress Yuan, right?"

Seeing that the Queen's words were becoming more and more outrageous, and not wanting the ministers to see his joke, the Emperor wanted to get rid of the Queen, but unexpectedly the Queen held him tightly.

The eunuch beside the queen saw that something was wrong and wanted to come over and pull the queen away. Who knows, the more 'he' pulled, the tighter the queen pulled.

The emperor felt a stinging pain on his hands, and then realized that his hands were dripping with blood. Then he felt dizzy and staggered.

At this time, the emperor realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to call someone, his vision went dark and he fell down.

The emperor was a very suspicious person, but he really didn't expect that anyone would dare to assassinate him in the palace, and in front of everyone.
