Chapter 1448 Crouching Tiger, Panlong, Zhou Chen and Emperor Qing’s Confrontation
"Ah~, someone is coming, someone is coming!"
A shriek of extreme fear rang out from the Queen Mother's chamber. All the dozing eunuchs and maids around the chamber were so frightened that they immediately came to their senses and rushed towards the Queen Mother's chamber in panic.
In just a short period of time, the Queen Mother's bedroom was already filled with people.
The Queen Mother was draped in a blanket, wrapping herself tightly, and was surrounded by eunuchs. The leader of the eunuchs, Hong Sixiang, was also in the dormitory.
But even so, the elderly Queen Mother still felt cold all over, her face was full of fear, and she completely lost her usual majesty and solemnity.
At this moment, she was not the Queen Mother who was above all others, but a frightened old woman who could only tremble with fear.
When she wakes up from a different sleep and sees the three items, Bai Ling, dagger and poisonous wine, lying beside her bed, she will be as scared as she is, especially for an old woman who stands at the top of power and doesn't sleep well.
Faced with this situation, he is even more frightened than ordinary people.
This fright almost made her soul fly away.
Hong Sixiang looked at the white silk, dagger and poisoned wine on the bedside of the Queen Mother, his heart was beating wildly and he was terrified.
Everyone knows what these three things mean. Someone is threatening the Queen Mother.
Who has the courage and ability to walk freely in the Ouchi Palace, sneak into the Empress Dowager's chamber, and let go of these three things?
Hong Sixiang thought of a possibility. There was only one person in the world who could do such a thing under his nose.
Great master!
Thinking of this, he was even more frightened. Although there were rumors outside that he was the hidden Grand Master in the palace, he knew what he was like. He just looked like a Grand Master. If he really wanted to meet a Grand Master, he would be beaten by someone.
A quick kill.
He cannot handle this matter and must leave it to His Majesty.
In just a moment, he understood that he had checked the Queen Mother's bedroom several times and found nothing. Except for the Grand Master, even the people closest to the Queen Mother would never be able to do this.
Because of the incident in the Empress Dowager's chamber, although it was still in Yinshi, it had already caused considerable chaos in the palace.
Emperor Qing, who had been studying the arrows all night, was woken up from his sleep and was very angry. But after learning what happened in the Queen Mother's chamber, he was so excited that he suddenly woke up.
"Go to the Queen Mother's chamber quickly."
He didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he put on a robe and ran to the Queen Mother's chamber.
As soon as he arrived at the Queen Mother's chamber, the old woman seemed to have found a backbone, and threw herself on him with a whoosh, yelling.
"Emperor, Emperor, someone wants to harm the Ai family, son..."
Emperor Qing hugged the Queen Mother with a look of helplessness on his face. If it had been anyone else, he would have thrown her away a long time ago, but this was the Queen Mother, so he could only endure it.
"Queen Mother, if it's okay, Queen Mother, I will take care of it. You can go to another dormitory to rest first."
But the Queen Mother grabbed his hand tightly, her cloudy old eyes almost bulged out, and said excitedly: "It's her, she's back, it's her, it must be her, Ye..."
"Mother!"
Emperor Qing interrupted the Queen Mother's words loudly, looked at the Queen Mother deeply, and said in a deep voice: "She is dead, Queen Mother, she is dead, very dead, and can't come back. Someone, come and take the Queen Mother to rest.
"
The Queen Mother was really frightened, or the eunuchs and maids supported her before leaving the palace.
Emperor Qing waved his hand for everyone else to leave, leaving only Hong Sixiang.
"Hong Sixiang."
"His Majesty."
Emperor Qing looked at the three objects with gloomy eyes, his expression extremely ugly.
"I asked you to guard the palace city. Is this how you guard it?"
Hong Sixiang fell to his knees, kowtowed to the ground, and replied in fear: "Your Majesty, this old slave deserves to die, this old slave deserves to die."
"You do deserve to die, even if you die ten thousand times, huh."
Emperor Qing's eyes flashed with coldness. He was really angry and wanted to kill Hong Sixiang, but he thought that Hong Sixiang was still needed now. If Hong Sixiang died, he would have no shield, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
.
"Nothing unusual was found at all. Who do you think it could be?"
Hong Sixiang didn't even dare to wipe off his sweat and hurriedly replied: "Only a great master can do it."
"Grandmaster?"
Emperor Qing's face became even more gloomy. This was not the first time that something like this happened. It also happened once twenty years ago.
"Grand master, or Wu Zhu? No, it's not Wu Zhu, it's him, Zhou Chen."
After gritting his teeth and spitting out a name, Emperor Qing smashed the three items to pieces with one palm.
"It must be him. He is the only one in Kyoto now. Okay, okay, revenge is on me. He really has no laws and despises the imperial power. What a great master."
There are only a handful of people who can do this. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood the reason.
Only Zhou Chen has this motive.
He just transferred Zhou Chen's aunt and uncle's family to Kyoto a few days ago. They came to disgust Zhou Chen. A few days later, something like this happened. Obviously, Zhou Chen didn't really want to kill anyone, but was just a threat.
He deliberately scared the Queen Mother.
Perhaps, this was Zhou Chen's response to his actions.
"Very good, the young grandmaster is really young and full of energy and high-spirited."
"Hateful! Damn it! Damn it!"
Listening to Emperor Qing's ferocious roar, Hong Sixiang trembled all over, his head touched the ground and he did not dare to lift it up.
"Get out!"
Hong Sixiang was granted amnesty and escaped from the Queen Mother's chamber in unison.
Emperor Qing was the only one left, and he no longer tried to hide himself, exuding an astonishing murderous aura.
"Great Master, if you don't surrender, you must die!"
Li Yunrui was also awakened from her sleep. Like Emperor Qing, she was in a very unhappy mood when she woke up. But when the maid told her what happened, she was stunned for a moment, and then burst into hearty laughter.
"Hehehehahahaha..."
Li Yunrui has not laughed so heartily for a long time, and she is really, really happy now.
"Okay, Zhou Chen, you really did something big that I wanted to do but didn't dare to do. That's great. That old woman deserves it. She deserves it for scaring her to death, haha."
"Your Highness, be silent, be silent."
The maid reminded her carefully, but the cheerful Li Yunrui didn't care at all and kept laughing.
"Shut up, this is my Guangxin Palace. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be sent to death."
Then she remembered the key question and asked: "Are you sure there are no problems with those three things?"
The maid replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will never be found."
"That's good."
Li Yunrui nodded with satisfaction. At this time, she had no sleepiness at all.
"Go and heat up two pots of wine for me. I want to have a good drink. It's a pity that Duke Zhen Guo is gone. Otherwise, it will be more enjoyable with him."
The maid said cautiously: "Your Highness, is the Duke of Zheng a little too courageous?"
"Big? If you are not brave, can you become a great master?"
Li Yunrui had a cold look on his face: "The Grand Master is already at the top of the world's martial arts, and Zhou Chen is a young man with soaring arrogance. Your Majesty thought he could be easily manipulated, but he didn't know that he was ignored at all. Haha, it's so interesting."
Suddenly, her expression condensed: "For some reason, I actually saw a trace of an old friend in him. No, they are completely different."
Although the incident in the Queen Mother's chamber caused a lot of commotion in the palace, under the order of Emperor Qing, no news spread out of the palace. Even those forces with spies in the palace only knew what happened that night.
There is something related to the Queen Mother, but very few people know what happened specifically.
It was slightly cool in the morning, and Zhou Chen stood in the pavilion, enjoying the breeze.
"It will be a sunny day again today!"
