Seeing that Ah Liu's second arrow just missed Chu Kuan's suicide dagger, the emperor's face suddenly changed, and when he rushed forward, it was too late. He grabbed Chu Kuan and shouted angrily, "Asshole." However, even though he was furious, the childhood playmate who usually had a calm face and confessed his guilt, now just left an inexplicable smile, and was already dead.
Apart from the previous words, there was not a single word that could be considered a last will.
The emperor had previously received a report from someone at the Observatory in the palace, claiming that someone from Zhang Garden inexplicably set off fireworks in broad daylight, so he found it a bit strange. After a moment's thought, he thought there was nothing to worry about, so he hurried out of the palace in plain clothes to see what was going on. However, at Bei'an Gate, he met Princess Yongping, whose carriage had broken down. After having to repair the carriage, borrow a different car, and then return to the palace after a long delay.
After hearing Princess Yongping's hasty explanation that Zhu Ying was summoned by the Queen Mother of Qingning Palace, Zhang Shou behaved abnormally, as if something had happened. He simply took his daughter to Zhang Garden, but found that more than half of the people were missing. He learned from a group of ignorant little guys who only knew to follow orders and set off fireworks in broad daylight that Zhu Jing had asked Zhang Shou to go to Baiyun Temple, and he felt something was wrong.
His own son-in-law was not convenient to say that he wanted to go to Baiyun Temple. So the emperor immediately sent someone to summon a team of sharp cavalry to Baiyun Temple.
When he just came in, although he only caught up with the last fight, he was aware of what had happened, so the emperor even made up his mind to punish Chu Kuan severely to serve as a warning to others and give an explanation to Zhu Jing and Zhang Shou, the father-in-law and son-in-law... Thinking of the past events, he even decided that even if he had to put aside their old feelings, he had to ask Chu Kuan carefully.
But at this moment, his mind was blank, and scenes flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
The next moment, the many imperial attendants who had not stopped fighting even when the emperor showed up just now, surrendered. However, they stopped too quickly and too suddenly, so that most of the opponents were unable to stop in time, and under the swords, some died and some were injured. But even those who died and were injured only groaned, and no one begged for mercy or confessed their guilt.
After a long while, the emperor finally came back to his senses. With blood all over his hands, he slowly loosened his grip and let the body fall to the ground. Then he looked up at Zhu Jing and Zhang Shou and asked word by word, "What did he say to you?"
Zhang Shou did not expect Chu Kuan to be so resolute, but what made him even more unbelievable was that Ah Liu only blocked the sword but not the knife, so he was looking sideways at the frustrated young man and could not answer the emperor's question immediately. However, he would be distracted for a moment and ignore the emperor, but Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing would not.
"Yingying, take Zhang Shou out." After saying this, Zhu Jing didn't care whether Zhu Ying agreed or not, and ordered directly, "Others, take away the imperial attendants brought by Chu Kuan. I have something to report to the emperor alone."
Zhu Ying wanted to insist, but she could see the unquestionable determination in her father's eyes, and she saw that Zhang Shou was obviously distracted, so she finally went forward and dragged Zhang Shou out. But after a few steps, she turned around and saw Ah Liu was also in a daze. She immediately said angrily: "Ah Liu, what are you doing here? Come and carry Ah Shou on your back. Look how scared he is!"
