As Qin Youzhen's body fell to the ground, the sound of fighting in the hall disappeared almost instantly, as if it had been wiped away by an invisible hand.

Liu Shen and Empress Liu looked at the emperor lying on the ground and saw wisps of blood seeping out from under Qin Youzhen's bright yellow dragon robe, their faces full of shock.

Queen Liu rolled her eyes and felt the world spinning. Her whole body softened and she fell into the arms of the maid next to her.

"Liu Shen! Rebel! How dare you kill the king!" Gu Zhao shouted loudly, her voice almost echoing through the roof, and her roar could be heard even outside the hall.

"Liu Shen committed regicide! The crime must not be punished!"

Everyone in Konghe Division also shouted angrily in unison, the sound was like thunder.

Gu Zhao's face was full of anger, he raised his sword and moved forward, killing Liu Shen regardless of his own safety.

Liu Shen felt flustered and a little excited.

In fact, Mr. Lu had already hinted at this situation to him when he became the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army.

The emperor unfortunately passed away, and the Liu family held the queen and young emperor in their hands, which was exactly the opportunity they wanted.

Liu Shen suppressed the excitement and nervousness in his heart and retorted, "It was obviously you who harmed His Majesty, yet you dared to frame it on our Liu family!"

"I know that you, a villain like Gu Zhao, have always had evil intentions towards His Majesty!"

"I only regret that I came too late and allowed you to take advantage of me and assassinate His Majesty!"

As he spoke, Liu Shen raised his arms and shouted loudly, "Gu Zhao assassinated His Majesty, betrayed Bei'an, and colluded with Dong Hao's spy. Everyone will kill him!"

"Whoever kills Gu Zhao will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred hectares of fertile land!"

But at this time, Gu Zhao was extraordinarily brave, many times more ferocious than before. The blades she wielded freely scattered in the air, so bright that it made people unable to open their eyes.

And in this particularly dazzling sword light, there were cries of pain and blood splashing representing casualties.

The formation of the Royal Guards in front of Liu Shen could not stop Gu Zhao at all, and she was allowed to rush into the depths of the team, getting closer and closer to Liu Shen.

Behind Gu Zhao were members of the Control He Division who were equally ruthless. They were like sharp knives, cutting the Royal Forest Army's team in half.

Seeing the personal guards who were protecting him fall down one by one, Liu Shen was shocked.

Although he has the title of deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, in fact his martial arts skills are mediocre and he only knows a little about leading troops in battle.

Even though he looks like he is wearing a helmet and carrying armor, in fact, Liu Shen has no experience in fighting to the death.

The reason why I dress like this is because I feel that today's plan will definitely succeed. Such a general's attire is very majestic.

"Protect the general and retreat!" The leader of the personal guards met Gu Zhao in person and sternly ordered his men, "Reinforcements will be here soon, Vice General Lang will be here soon!"

As soon as he finished shouting, Gu Zhao had already slashed with his sword and cut off one of his arms.

Liu Shen watched at close range the arms of someone he was familiar with being cruelly cut off. His legs could not help but tremble like chaff, and he could not walk at all.

It took a dozen personal guards to support Liu Shen and drag him out of the hall.

Gu Zhao led his team out of the door with a knife and chased Liu Shen.

Empress Liu, who was leaning against the maid's arms and trembling against the wall, happened to see Gu Zhao's profile.

Gu Zhao's beautiful face was spattered with blood, but it looked like a few blooming red plums, adding a bit of glamor to her.

Her beautiful eyes were full of fierceness, the long knife in her hand was dripping with blood, and the hem of her colorful crane uniform was even stained red.

The distance was obviously not far, but Empress Liu felt as if there was a thick wall separating her and Gu Zhao into two different worlds.

How could there be such a woman in this world?

Carrying a knife to kill people is simply more casual than cutting cloth and making clothes!

Queen Liu looked straight at Gu Zhao, but Gu Zhao did not look back at her at all, but rushed out of the hall with light steps.

Star-catching platform, in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window where Emperor Shouzheng often sat cross-legged in his later years, a beautiful woman with extraordinary beauty was looking out the window.

From her angle, she could just see the fighting outside the front hall.

"Liu Shen is indeed no match for Gu Zhao." She held a white cat and stroked it gently. Her delicate hands were almost the same color as the cat's fur.

"Tell Lang Ting that it's time to start."

An old nun bowed, exited the door, beckoned for a young eunuch, and gave a few careful instructions, and the young eunuch immediately ran out.

"Madam, the Liu family has always thought that they are very powerful and have no rules when talking to madam, but they don't know that all of them are being manipulated by madam."

The middle-aged maid who accompanied the beautiful woman was plain in appearance, but spoke very pleasantly.

The beautiful woman smiled softly, and the curve of her lips looked particularly delicate. "Mr. Liu Ge is naturally smart, but everyone has something they desire."

"Once something he desires and doesn't have is placed in front of him, no matter how smart a person is, he will inevitably become blind and do something stupid."

The middle-aged maid laughed, "What's more, he never imagined that Mr. Wen Xiang, whom he relied on as his adviser, was actually arranged by you, madam, to be by his side."

"But he still obeys Mr. Wen Xiang's advice. If he doesn't suffer, who will suffer?"

The beautiful woman looked down, "Today, let's get rid of Gu Zhao's trouble first, and then teach my precious son to be good. Only then will it be a big deal."

The middle-aged maid joked, "Your Majesty will definitely understand that all mothers in this world do it for the good of their children."

Go to the capital and go to the death row camp.
