The Queen Mother was killed, and everyone around her died.
Everything happened in a matter of seconds, and no one even had time to cry out for help before everything came to an end.
Mr. Xu quickly passed through the Queen Mother's palace and went straight to the north wall of the palace garden.
When everyone thought that an assassin was going to kill Emperor Yongping, the Yulin guards who were patrolling the walls of the imperial palace swarmed towards the Qiantian Palace.
The result of doing this was that there were huge loopholes in the patrols on the palace walls.
Mr. Xu easily escaped from the palace without alerting anyone, and then ran through the streets of the capital at night, escaping from the imperial city overnight.
Mr. Xu's yellow gelding has been fostered by him in an inn in a small town outside the capital from the beginning.
Mr. Xu ran all the way out of the city and rushed back to the inn overnight.
After Mr. Xu had escaped from the capital, Emperor Yongping at the palace received the news that the Queen Mother had been assassinated.
When Emperor Yongping saw the body of the Queen Mother who had been hit by several arrows, he knelt down directly.
From the location where the Queen Mother was assassinated and the situation of the people around her, it was not difficult for Emperor Yongping to guess what the Queen Mother was doing at the time.
"Queen mother..."
Emperor Yongping knelt on the ground, trembling all over and bursting into tears.
He was indeed a little dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, but no matter what, the Queen Mother was his biological mother, and he respected the Queen Mother very much. But now, seeing the Queen Mother being assassinated and dying, the unhappiness in Emperor Yongping's heart was completely gone. His eyes were full of annoyance and regret, and he hated himself for being such a bastard before.
However, no matter how Emperor Yongping felt, the Queen Mother was dead.
"who is it?"
"Who is it?"
Emperor Yongping roared hysterically, "Seal the capital and let me investigate. I would rather kill the wrong one than let him go!"
"Pass my decree and send the thirty-sixth Guards of the North and South Battalions to Beijing. They will go from house to house and arrest anyone whose identity is unknown!"
"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Emperor Yongping once felt that the Queen Mother was always meddling in things and was very bored. But now, the Empress Dowager is really gone, which makes Emperor Yongping feel sad that "the son wants to be raised but cannot be kissed".
The eldest princess received the message and hurried to the palace.
"Aunt, my mother was killed!"
Seeing the eldest princess, Emperor Yongping finally found someone to talk to.
"Your Majesty, please show me your condolences!"
"The top priority right now is to find the murderer and avenge the Queen Mother!"
The eldest princess also had mixed emotions at the moment.
Her relationship with the Queen Mother was not very good.
Whether it is a noble family or an ordinary family, there will always be various problems in getting along between the sisters and sisters.
There are also many barriers between the eldest princess and the queen mother.
However, these two are both good actors and behave very harmoniously in front of others.
Now that the Queen Mother has been assassinated, the eldest princess has to show sadness on her face no matter how happy she is. Otherwise, no matter how much Emperor Yongping respected her before, he will tear her apart this time.
"Aunt, my mother has lived in the palace for a long time and is kind to others. Who do you think is so heartless and crazy?"
Emperor Yongping looked at the eldest princess, "My aunt is in charge of the Imperial City Division, do you have any clues?"
"Your Majesty, I really don't have this!"
The eldest princess is telling the truth.
Although she is in charge of the Imperial City Division, she has only just taken charge of the Imperial City Division.
Of course, the eldest princess has her own intelligence organization, but she can't tell Emperor Yongping about it. If Emperor Yongping knew that she secretly controlled a huge power, he might be dissatisfied with her first.
"However, I think it shouldn't be difficult to track down the murderer in this matter!"
The eldest princess looked at Emperor Yongping with a serious face, "First of all, the assassin is definitely very good at reaching out and is very familiar with the palace. Otherwise, it is impossible for the assassin to find the Queen Mother directly in such a short time!"
"Yep!"
Emperor Yongping nodded, "This person must be very powerful, and he is also familiar with the layout of the palace. That's why he can successfully use this strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
"So, I have a guess!"
The eldest princess took a deep breath, "Of course, I have no evidence."
"It's just that, overall, this person is the most likely!"
"Who is aunt talking about?"
Emperor Yongping frowned slightly and looked at the eldest princess intently.
The eldest princess pursed her lips and said in a deep voice: "Li Zhen!"
Li Zhen, King of Yan!
Of course, because of the incident in which King Yan rode straight into the palace with a whirlwind, Emperor Yongping had issued an order to remove King Yan's title and even expel him from the Li family.
"impossible!"
Emperor Yongping frowned after hearing what the eldest princess said.
This is not because Emperor Yongping trusts King Yan, but because King Yan broke into the palace with the Tornado Cavalry before. At that time, not only the Queen Mother, but also Emperor Yongping's own life was in King Yan's hands.
If King Yan wanted to harm the Queen Mother, he could do it right then and there, but would there be any need to go to the palace to assassinate her afterwards
"Your Majesty, apart from King Yan, I can't think of anyone else."
The eldest princess was not sure of the identity of the assassin, but she thought that this was an excellent opportunity to get rid of King Yan.
Although King Yan and Emperor Yongping are now on the same level, the eldest princess does not think that King Yan can really be indifferent to Emperor Yongping's life and death.
King Yan is a person who values love and justice.
Besides, the matter concerning King Yan’s parents was the late emperor’s initiative, and the Queen Mother and Emperor Yongping themselves were considered innocent.
If not for this, King Yan had already killed the Queen Mother and Emperor Yongping when he brought the whirlwind into the palace. How could he have left the city despite having an absolute advantage
If she wants to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five Emperors, she must completely eliminate all possible helpers of her nephew, Emperor Yongping.
In other words, King Yan Li Zhen was the first obstacle to Princess Dachang's great achievements.
The current situation is a great opportunity to get rid of King Yan. The eldest princess must seize this opportunity. Even if King Yan cannot be completely killed, she must still nail King Yan to the pillar of shame.
Anyone, no matter what their origins, as long as their reputation is bad, no matter what they do, they will only be questioned and targeted by others.
Just open your mouth to spread rumors, but it will be exhausting to refute them.
The eldest princess was born in the palace, and she has seen too many intrigues.
Emperor Yongping looked at the eldest princess with a solemn face, and his inner thoughts, from his firm disbelief at the beginning, slowly changed.
"Your Majesty, something has been discovered!"
Just when Emperor Yongping was about to be persuaded by the eldest princess, a captain from the Yulin Guards hurried over to report the latest discovery to Emperor Yongping.
"speak!"
Emperor Yongping looked at Captain Yu Lin who was coming in a hurry and spoke urgently.
"Your Majesty, the general carefully inspected the Yu Linwei who was seriously injured by the assassin, and found that this man did not seem to have much killing intent!" (End of this chapter)
