You don't need to think about it to know that this must be Zhou Chen's masterpiece.
"It's not him. There are people of his in the palace."
Emperor Qing knew very well that Zhou Chen's injuries were too serious and it was absolutely impossible to recover in just a few days. If it were Zhou Chen, it would be impossible for him to just kill the Queen Mother.
The person who did all this must be someone from the palace, a secret agent that Zhou Chen had placed in the palace a long time ago.
"All the eunuchs and maids in the Queen Mother's palace were tortured and tortured. I want to know who they are."
The Empress Dowager died at the hands of an assassin. This news soon spread out of the palace and caused an uproar in Kyoto.
Thinking of what happened a few days ago, it is not difficult to guess that the people who attacked the Queen Mother were most likely members of Zhen Guo Gong and his party, but no one expected that Zhen Guo Gong actually had such a method.
When investigating the death of the Empress Dowager in the hospital, Emperor Qing did not ask Chen Pingping to investigate.
Chen Pingping burned the note in her hand after reading it.
"We have all underestimated the Duke of Zhen. In addition to his own strength, he is not bad in other aspects. I thought there might be a follow-up, but I never thought that he would come so quickly and so cruelly, and he would actually attack the heavily guarded Queen Mother.
In the palace, kill the Queen Mother."
"Hong Sixiang still hasn't appeared. It seems that what I expected is right. Hong Sixiang should have also participated in the siege of Zhou Chen, but it seems that he has been killed. Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have died so easily. Shadow, what do you think?
, is there a possibility that Zhou Chen is still alive?"
Shadow said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. If he is really still alive, then he owes you a big favor."
Chen Pingping smiled and said: "Your Majesty has begun to doubt me. We don't have to do anything these days. I have already made arrangements for Chen Yuan."
No one would have thought that the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Zhan Pianpian, who had been searching for her, would be hiding in Chenyuan outside Kyoto.
Xinyang!
When the eldest princess Li Yunrui received the news that the Queen Mother had been assassinated, she happily drank two bottles of wine and felt very happy.
"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, you really haven't let me down at all. You're already like this, and you can still do such an earth-shattering thing. But more than this, I want to know, are you really dead?
"
Emperor Qing teamed up with Ye Liuyun to surround and kill Zhou Chen in Kyoto on Zhou Chen's wedding day. She really didn't receive any news about this matter. Otherwise, she would definitely have sent someone to inform Zhou Chen. After all, she and
Zhou Chen can also be regarded as an ally to a certain extent.
Without Zhou Chen, it would be even more difficult to deal with Emperor Qing.
Northern Qi was not at peace at this time, because they also received the news quickly, and also received a threat of credentials from Emperor Qing of the Qing Kingdom.
The content of the letter of credence is very ridiculous. It indicates that Northern Qi and Zhou Chen assassinated Emperor Qing and asked Northern Qi to cede territory and pay compensation. If Northern Qi did not agree, Qing's army would march north in the near future.
This incident caused an uproar in the court of Northern Qi. Originally, the marriage between the eldest princess of Northern Qi and Duke Zhou Chen of Nanqing Town was a good thing for Northern Qi, but who would have thought that it would turn into a disaster in the blink of an eye.
All the ministers and officials were uneasy, but at the court, Emperor Zhan Doudou of the Northern Qi Dynasty was more powerful than ever, saying that Emperor Qing was framing the situation and Da Qi would never give in.
He also asked Emperor Qing to hand over the eldest princess Zhan Pianpian and Qi's consort Zhou Chen, otherwise Northern Qi would start a war against Nanqing even if Nanqing did not start a war.
Zhan Doudou, who had always presented a cowardly image, suddenly became so strong, which shocked all the Northern Qi officials. However, the crowd soon became excited, saying that Da Qi would never surrender to the Qing State and would fight if they wanted...
…
Northern Qi Imperial Palace, Harem.
Si Lili has been pregnant for more than five months and her belly has swelled. As a pregnant woman, she should not be in a bad mood, but now, her mood is very low and uncomfortable.
After the news of "Zhou Chen's death" reached Northern Qi, she had not had a good night's sleep. She secretly cried alone all day long, but for the sake of the child in her belly, she had to force herself not to do this, which made her these days
The mental state is very bad.
Just as she was stroking her belly and mumbling to her children, Begonia Duoduo and Zhan Doudou suddenly walked in.
"Li Li, don't be sad now. Zhou Chen has sent news that he is not dead."
Haitang Duoduo walked quickly to Si Lili and said to Si Lili emotionally.
Si Lili stood up excitedly: "Duoduo, you didn't lie to me. Zhou Chen is really not dead?"
