Chapter 622: So sudden, die with eyes wide open
When the Queen Mother of Rong heard this, her expression became even more solemn.
Witchcraft was prevalent in the Rong State, but it was not the kind of witchcraft and curse that harmed people as outsiders thought, but rather praying to the gods for good fortune and some medical skills.
I don’t know why, but when people mention the witchcraft of the Rong State, all they think of are witchcraft and curses.
But the queen was not afraid at all.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother is worrying too much. I just want to show His Majesty something different. The Queen Mother of Rong and the young emperor are also here. Is this a dance unique to Rong or is it a practice of witchcraft? They can't be unaware of it, right?" The Queen looked at the Queen Mother of Rong.
At this time, everyone's eyes were on the Queen Mother of Rong.
The Queen Mother of Rong seemed to be on the fire.
She felt that this might be a setup, but she didn't know what the Queen of Daxia was going to do.
She had no choice but to deny it.
If they said that this was a blessing dance related to witchcraft, no one would believe it, and they would be considered as trying to murder the emperor of Daxia. I'm afraid that mother and son will not be able to walk out of this palace alive today.
Ji Chuhe also saw the Queen's intention.
It seems that he wants to escape by using the witchcraft of Rong State.
This is a good strategy.
Everyone is still waiting for Queen Mother Rong to express her opinion.
"This is just an ordinary dance and has nothing to do with our country's witchcraft." The Queen Mother of Rong responded softly.
A smile flashed across the queen's eyes, and she turned to look at the queen mother, "Your Highness, the queen mother of Rong has personally confirmed it, you can rest assured."
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and did not respond.
However, the depressing environment around her made her feel depressed.
She glanced in the direction of the emperor and found that he didn't care much about this matter.
That's all, just a dance.
Could it be possible that the Queen could cause any trouble by using this dance?
The fourth prince was beaten half to death and demoted to a commoner, but the queen was very proud of it.
The dance soon ended, the lights in the hall were relit, and the bright light was restored.
The emperor held the wine glass, ready to drink it all, when suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He quickly raised his hand to cover his chest, feeling something stuck in his throat. He wanted to cough, but suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood!
"Ah!" The palace maid beside her screamed in fright.
"Your Majesty!" Chao Sihai immediately rushed in front of the emperor.
The emperor held Chao Sihai's arm tightly and could no longer make any sound.
"Quick, call the imperial physician!" he shouted to Sihai.
"Your Majesty!" the Queen called anxiously.
Suddenly, the inner court guards rushed out, quickly surrounded the emperor, drew the swords at their waists, and each of them was full of murderous intent.
"No one is allowed to get close to the emperor! Send the emperor back to his bedroom and let Doctor Zhong rush to the emperor's bedroom as quickly as possible!" Chao Sihai gave an order.
He immediately carried the emperor on his back and left quickly.
The Queen Mother sensed something was wrong and immediately chased after him.
The queen also left quickly.
"This...this..." A minister stammered in fear and secretly glanced at Prime Minister Qin.
Many people also turned their eyes to Rong Yuchuan and Prince Huaiyang.
Inside the hall, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Suddenly, there was a sound of orderly footsteps outside.
The palace was crowded with inner court guards dressed in black armor, making it impossible to get in or out of the palace.
"The emperor has been assassinated, no one is allowed to leave the palace!"
Qin Xiang had been tense with his back, but suddenly he relaxed, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Ji Chuhe looked in the direction of the Queen Mother of Rong.
The young emperor of Rong State, who had been playing with a cloth tiger in his hand, also sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere and looked up at his mother.
"Mother..."
Queen Mother Rong immediately covered his mouth with her hand and shook her head to signal him not to speak.
The young emperor of Rong State leaned in his mother's arms and no longer made any sound.
However, one of his hands was tightly grasping his mother's clothes, showing his nervousness and fear.
"Prince." Ji Chuhe called softly.
Xiao Yan'an immediately moved closer to Ji Chuhe, and the two of them were almost sticking together.
Ji Chuhe asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Prince, I don't want the Queen Mother Rong and the little emperor to die in Daxia."
"Madam, whatever you want to do, I support you." Xiao Yan'an gave Ji Chuhe a firm look.
"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.
……
The emperor's bedroom was also surrounded by the inner court guards.
Only Doctor Zhong was allowed in.
The Queen Mother was kept outside.
She was just feeling angry when she heard the Queen's footsteps chasing after her. She turned around and slapped the Queen in the face!
The queen was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.
"My Queen Mother, I don't understand why you hit me."
"Why? You organized this banquet, and the emperor suddenly vomited blood. Are you trying to murder the emperor?"
"Empress Dowager, you are really wronging me!" The Queen immediately protested.
"Someone, come and capture the Queen for me! The Queen is the biggest suspect in this matter!" The Queen Mother gave the order immediately.
Now, she had to prepare for the worst.
If anything happens to the emperor, the harem must never let the queen have the final say.
"Empress! The Emperor summons you into the palace!" Chao Sihai suddenly walked out and said respectfully to the Empress.
The queen stood up and knelt before the empress dowager, "Your Majesty, the emperor wants to summon me. I will go see the emperor first."
After saying this, the queen walked into the bedroom.
The Queen Mother immediately chased after him.
Chao Sihai immediately stood in front of the Queen Mother.
"I also want to see the emperor! How dare you, a eunuch, stop me!" the Queen Mother cursed angrily.
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor has only ordered the Empress to enter, and no one else is allowed to disobey his order." Chao Sihai had a cold and hard face, and suddenly took a step forward forcefully, forcing the Empress Dowager to take a step back.
The Queen Mother looked at Chao Sihai angrily, but Chao Sihai had the order to transfer the Inner Court Guards in his hand, which meant that the Inner Court Guards were in Chao Sihai's hands at this time.
With just her own strength, it is absolutely impossible for the Queen to bribe that bastard Chao Sihai.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother felt relieved.
However, she did not leave, but stayed here under the banner of protecting the emperor.
In the bedroom.
Doctor Zhong was held down by two inner court guards and his mouth was gagged.
The emperor was lying on the dragon bed, his mouth open and eyes wide open, he was no longer breathing.
He still had the same expression he had when he died, one of shock and reluctance.
I'm afraid he never thought that he would die like this!
So, the queen tried three times but failed to get the emperor to close his eyes.
The Queen stopped trying.
Just keep it open.
"Come to the four seas, the Rong Kingdom actually used witchcraft to murder the emperor. Immediately capture the Rong Kingdom's Queen Mother, the little emperor, and all those Rong slaves!"
"Yes!" Chao Sihai immediately ordered the inner court guards to go and arrest the man.
The empress dowager, who was standing guard outside, watched the inner court guards leave in a hurry, not knowing what had happened.
