Emperor Jin

Chapter 68

The news of Lei Shi's death spread to the palace very quickly - at that time the palace gate had already been unlocked, the outer eunuch who reported the letter had no choice but to pass in the document through the crack of the door, and then it was reported to the imperial court.

"Is it over?"

The emperor said in a deep voice, and he could not hear any likes or dislikes in his voice, but the stagnant atmosphere had clearly revealed the fury in his heart.The attendants around stood with their hands down, each of them kept silent.

"Since I raised my army, I have conquered thousands of troops and conquered the world. Now, you guys are going to come and tell me that the Southern Tang assassins have not left the country yet, so there is still a possibility of taking my head?!"

The leader of the imperial army was sweating coldly, struggling to say: "Master Lei is very skilled in martial arts, he is still following the way of an assassin, long live the safety of the world, so don't take it lightly."

"You wait for the salary of the king, do you want the father to be afraid and dodge?"

The emperor's voice became more and more unfriendly, and the military officials in charge of guarding the capital knelt down together, but they couldn't say anything to intercede.

"Forget it..."

After a while, the emperor gave a signal, and everyone stood up tremblingly as if they had received an amnesty, but the emperor sighed and said: "I want to take it easy, but these southerners are looking for their own death... If so, then Get rid of this ringworm and scabies first!"

This decisive sentence caused boundless waves in everyone's hearts. Only the leader of the forbidden army, who had been in officialdom for a long time, thought in his heart: Southern Tang was a disease of ringworm and scabies. So, what is the emperor's confidant's serious trouble...

He shivered and didn't dare to think about it any further, only to hear the emperor say decisively: "Go invite Huang Shuai into the palace."

In the harem, the past few days have been quite lively. These newly promoted concubines survived the assassination on the day of the palace banquet together. At that moment of shock, most of them huddled together tremblingly, hoping to escape the catastrophe.

Fortunately, a few of them were the daughters of the generals, and they knew some superficial kung fu, and Yun Shi also helped them from time to time, except for one person who was killed, the rest were only injured.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. Before dusk, a small banquet for appreciating the moon has been prepared in Zhaoyang Palace, and all the beauties in the harem are invited.

"Sisters, don't worry, this time I've checked everything carefully, and there will be no more assassins."

The queen laughed humorously at the beginning, and everyone covered their sleeves to relieve themselves after hearing this sentence. Suddenly, the hall was filled with the sound of Yingying and swallows.

They exchanged pleasantries and talked about the horror of that day, still with lingering fears in their hearts.

"It's too scary. That gleaming white sword almost cut me in two..."

Someone patted his heart and recalled tremblingly.

The queen sat in the middle and looked at the table with a smile. She wore a high bun today, with a phoenix head made of pearls and hanging on her forehead. All her bangs were combed neatly, making her face more and more jade-like.

"We were frightened, it's nothing at all, the empress is really calm in the face of danger - the assassin's sword is coming fast, but you haven't changed color at all, I really admire you."

The one who said this was the always reticent Wang Meiren.

Although her words were unavoidably flattering, they were also the truth, but the queen smiled and shook her head and said, "How can you say so precariously? At that time, the assassin flashed his knife, and all my hair fell off, and the strands on my forehead were all gone It was cut off - so I had to wear this weird high bun to hide my ugliness. Although his sword is fierce, his aim is a bit poor, so he only took a strand of my hair."

The more she downplayed it, the people present imagined the tragic and thrilling scene, but they couldn't help but turn pale.

"Your Majesty's virtuous reputation has spread far and wide, which is why this innocent disaster has been brought about - even the southerners have heard that you are a powerful arm of Long Live, and that's why they have murderous intentions!"

Concubine Yun Xian couldn't bear it, and sighed quietly: "Your Majesty, you still have to be more careful, you must know that it is easy to hide the open spear, but it is difficult to prevent the hidden arrow!"

"I can save it, and I must be careful in the future, but Sister Lao is worried about me."

The queen bowed her body to return the salute, and said with a sincere smile: "My sister has been with me for many years, and I have been fighting with the emperor all these years. How come I haven't seen a sword or gun——Sister, please relax!"

Hearing this, Concubine Yunxian's eyes became more and more sad. She sighed sadly: "Your Majesty has really suffered and worked hard for this country and society. When you talk about the past, I can only feel more distressed. If it wasn't for the faint king who sent people to intercept your family and my family, my sister wouldn't lose all her martial arts..."

Hearing these words, the queen's eyes were full of mist. She suppressed her sadness, but softly persuaded: "Sister, don't bring up this sad thing again..."

Seeing that everyone was full of doubts, the queen took a sip of the wine and said with a smile: "This happened a long time ago - at that time, the emperor and I had an engagement, and on the day we got married, a terrible tragedy happened -"

Concubine Yun Xian was listening, her eyes were gloomy, she couldn't help avoiding the table, she couldn't bear to interrupt the queen, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and listened quietly with everyone.
