Chapter 409 Don’t know life or death
The imperial guards first surrounded the emperor, keeping a tight guard.
The guards of the Eastern Palace were not allowed to enter the banquet. Bei Jingchu was only accompanied by the secret guards and the two commanders Lei and Jiang.
The emperor shouted in panic: "Divide into two groups to protect the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince!"
As smart as Bei Yanyu and Bei Jingyu were, they had already rushed to Bei Jingchu's side, but Bei Jingchu just wanted to scold the two idiots.
Damn it, didn’t he see that the assassination was aimed at her and the emperor?
In fact, the area around her is the hardest hit!
Do these two fools think that the most dangerous place is the safest place? ? ?
She didn't have time to curse, so she roughly pressed the two children between herself and the table, making them squat like mushrooms.
The assassin's target was not only the father and daughter, but also several ministers were shot by arrows.
Upon observation, it turned out that they were all people who had made great contributions in dealing with the aristocratic families.
Seeing that the emperor had enough guards around him, anyone among the royalists and the Eastern Palace who had some skills went to protect the ministers who had dealt with the nobles and were powerless.
The virtuous concubine pulled the imperial concubine to avoid the stray arrows.
The chaos was quickly stopped. Those who took action were all members of the exterminated noble families. They were planted among the envoys by someone and caught them off guard with hidden arrows and muskets.
Few of them are good at martial arts, and most of them grew up spoiled like Bei Yanyu.
During an assassination, the secret guards are closest to their master.
Bei Jingchu was just about to see how the emperor would deal with the situation after the chaos, but her eyes suddenly widened.
The pupils constricted severely, and the extremely fast movements were slowed down infinitely, but due to the long distance, the body could not keep up with the brain's movements.
A long knife stabbed into his chest.
Aye...
Yan Bo smiled.
"I'm going to die anyway, so I'll avenge my son."
He then committed suicide by slashing his own throat.
There is no way to save the day.
Another secret guard next to him wanted to stop him, but as the leader of the secret guards, his speed when he was not sick was too fast for the people behind him to catch up.
After extreme silence, another sharper scream rang out.
The Queen Mother's still youthful voice sounded old for the first time, and she called out in a mournful voice, "Heng'er!"
Bei Jingchu waved away the crowd and rushed over.
Bei Heng was already unconscious. When he saw her coming, he held on for a breath and instructed the people around him:
"If so, I will die today and the prince will take the throne immediately!"
"During my coma, the Crown Prince was the regent and could summon me without restriction. All government orders were as if I were in person..."
After saying this, he closed his eyes.
This was not the first time that Bei Jingchu had to shoulder a heavy responsibility. She knew it was of great importance and had no time to worry.
He quickly calmed down and summoned the imperial physician to carry the emperor away.
The Queen Mother also went along to see them.
Everyone who could leave had left, and Yan Bo's body was also taken away.
She controlled the delegation and did not allow anyone to leave the hall.
Standing alone at the top, he asked, "Today, the delegation came to pay tribute, but an assassin sneaked in."
"Do you want to join forces to declare war on Dai Viet?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers who were originally restless immediately felt more determined.
The concern for the monarch and the suspicion of rebellion by the secret guards were transformed into hatred for foreign enemies.
A group of envoys were isolated and helpless in the hall, thinking they would be killed by their eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no room for insolence in the hall, it would have been torn to pieces by the angry ministers long ago.
If it wasn’t for their delegation’s negligence, how could those assassins have sneaked in!
The delegations that had no one planted in their territory felt relieved, and looking at the small countries that had suffered, they saw a glimpse of their future.
The implicated envoys spoke in unison, protesting their innocence in their not-so-fluent Vietnamese-Korean dialect, saying that they were also unaware of the incident.
Bei Jingchu didn't care whether they did it on purpose or not at this moment, because due to their negligence, her father, the monarch of the Yue Dynasty was still in a coma and her life or death was unknown.
The excuse to go out on a mission just happened to be delivered to her door, how could she let it go!
He immediately ordered: "All the participants will be taken away for interrogation. If nothing is revealed by tomorrow, all will be killed."
"Send my order, mobilize the tiger talisman, gather the army, and attack the villains who are plotting to murder our emperor..."
Bei Jingchu said word by word: "I am issuing a challenge."
The voice was soft, but powerful enough.
The envoys who understood what was said were about to faint, and they regretted again and again why they did not check more carefully.
Because the emperor had ordered the crown prince to govern the country before he fell into a coma, Bei Jingchu quickly took over and pacified everyone, and there was no chaos in the Yue Dynasty.
The fact that the secret guard stabbed the emperor was kept secret, and all the blame was put on the envoy.
Instead, it gave them a strong morale of not returning until the external enemies were defeated.
