Chapter 820: Fear
Chapter 820 Fear
Nothing hurtful.
This answer is like a basin of ice water poured over his head, Taixiang Emperor only felt a chill in his heart, and the cold air was radiating from the inside out.
That arrow, he could feel its temperature just by closing his eyes.
The arrow brushed past him, it was cold, and then disappeared like fireworks.
What kind of arrow is that? Who was it that shot that arrow?
did not ask for the answer, Taixiang Emperor was horrified to find that he was the only one who noticed the arrow, and he was the only one who noticed the eyes.
As if that arrow never existed, neither did the murderer who killed the Empress Dowager.
The cause of Empress Dowager’s death ended because she contracted a cold after viewing lanterns. Internally, the imperial physicians were called for consultation. Although the imperial physicians found that Empress Dowager Yang was bruised on the head, they were not found because the Jinlin Guards and other ministries did not even find the murder weapon. Dare to show off.
Not to mention the fact that the Empress Dowager was assassinated by climbing a building to admire lanterns during the Lantern Festival, even if the evidence is conclusive, if the murderer is caught, it will still be kept secret, otherwise it will cause the world to follow suit, it will be very bad.
The funeral of the Great Empress Dowager was carried out in an orderly manner with the coordination of the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites, but the palace was filled with gloom and gloom.
Emperor Taixiang was completely frightened. As soon as he closed his eyes, the gleaming arrow shot towards his face, followed by those cold eyes.
“Champion Marquis, Xuan Champion Marquis enters the palace!” Taixiang Emperor sweated profusely and shouted in a hoarse voice.
soon passed the will of the champion Hou entering the palace and sent it to the champion Hou’s mansion.
Shao Mingyuan temporarily left the servant who passed the edict in the flower hall, comforting Qiao Zhao: “Don’t worry about me, I will go back when I go.”
Qiao Zhao grabbed Shao Mingyuan’s sleeve and was a little uneasy: “Tingquan, could it be that the palace noticed something?”
She had confidence in Shao Mingyuan’s ability to solve troubles, but she didn’t expect him to shoot directly at the Empress Dowager.
Before that, Shao Mingyuan did not tell her about the assassination of the Empress Dowager, and only confessed to her after it was done.
I have to say, this man is too bold.
“No.” Shao Mingyuan chuckled lightly and fondly stroked Qiao Zhao’s cheek, “Wait for me to come back with peace of mind.”
“Hmm.” Qiao Zhao nodded, relaxed because of the other party’s determined attitude.
He said he would come back safely, and she believed it.
Shao Mingyuan patted Qiao Zhao’s hand again, turned around and walked out.
The waiter who was waiting in the flower hall immediately stood up: “Master Hou, let’s go.”
There were still snowflakes outside, and the north wind was freezing to the bone.
Shao Mingyuan let out a soft breath and rushed to the palace with his servant.
“Your Majesty, the champion is here.”
Emperor Taixiang, who was sitting in a daze, suddenly came to his senses and couldn’t wait to say, “Marquis Xuan Guanjun, come in!”
Not long after, Shao Mingyuan came in and saluted, “Wei Chen has seen the emperor.”
Emperor Taixiang looked straight at Shao Mingyuan for a long time and said, “Wei Wuxie, move a chair for the champion.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat.”
Emperor Taixiang stared at the young man with a calm face and was silent for a long time.
Shao Mingyuan sat upright like a pine tree.
After a long time, Emperor Taixiang said: “Master Hou, last night… I was very panicked last night…”
He looked pitifully at the young man in front of him, trying to get some relief from him.
The man opposite raised his eyes as he wished and smiled slightly.
Those eyes are very beautiful, like the finest gems, without any impurities, but they are cold and without a trace of temperature.
Emperor Taixiang gave a jerk, his face turned pale instantly, and he knocked over the tea cup in hand in a panic.
Wei Wuxie silently collected the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground, suppressing the doubts in his heart.
Emperor Taixiang stood up and stared at Shao Mingyuan with wide eyes.
Shao Mingyuan’s face was still calm, and as Emperor Taixiang got up, he stood up and said with a smile: “Don’t panic, Your Majesty, Weichen will do everything in his power to protect you.”
Emperor Taixiang seemed to be scooping it out of the water, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he said weakly, “Yes, I will feel at ease with the words of the Marquis…”
Facing the handsome man with a smile at the corner of his mouth, Emperor Taixiang only felt dizzy in front of his eyes and could no longer speak any more.
Wei Wuxie brought a warm soft towel to wipe Emperor Taixiang’s forehead: “Your Majesty, this servant will help you to lie down.”
Emperor Taixiang shook his head and buried his entire body in the large dragon chair, his eyes dull.
Wei Wuxie couldn’t guess the change in Emperor Taixiang’s mood, so he had to wait carefully.
After the suffocating silence, Emperor Taixiang glanced at Wei Wuxie and asked, “Wei Wuxie, what kind of person do you think the champion is?”
Champion Hou?
Hearing that the emperor asked about Shao Mingyuan, Wei Wuxie immediately became tense.
He shares a secret with Champion Hou and Zhang Tianshi, and he has to answer this question carefully.
“The slave maid doesn’t have much contact with the champion, but I think the champion is a person with great perseverance, and the peace of the north of Daliang cannot be separated from him.”
“Great perseverance?” Emperor Taixiang muttered these words, his face turning paler.
Great perseverance, does this mean that once he offends him, he will use his extraordinary perseverance to find someone to settle the account?
Thinking of those eyes that were as quiet as stars, Emperor Taixiang felt a chill on his back, as if all his strength was exhausted.
Qiao Zhao waited in the flower hall until the servant reported that “the general is back” before he was relieved and got up to greet him.
“Why are you waiting outside?” Shao Mingyuan strode over, took Qiao Zhao’s hand and walked into the house.
“What did the emperor ask you to say?”
Shao Mingyuan recalled the appearance of Emperor Taixiang, and couldn’t help laughing: “Probably feel afraid, so find peace of mind from me, after all, I am strong in martial arts.”
“Seriously.” Shao Mingyuan’s relaxation infected Qiao Zhao, and she hit him with a smile.
“This is serious, the emperor did tell me this.”
As for the strangeness that Emperor Taixiang showed later, Shao Mingyuan felt that there was no need to mention more.
He was not afraid of Emperor Taixiang’s speculation about the death of the Empress Dowager, and even the moment he shot the Empress Dowager, he deliberately left an impression on the emperor.
Emperor Taixiang is different from other emperors. Although he inherited the great line, he has never been trained as a prince. He has never even seen the face of the previous emperor a few times. He is a cowardly person by nature.
And such a person has lived and died many times, and his fear of death is far beyond ordinary people. When he finds that the threat is too difficult, his more choice is to escape and compromise.
He hopes to use the death of the empress dowager to force the emperor to put away his murderous intentions towards his wife. If he still can’t protect his wife well this time, then he doesn’t care about going further.
Of course, he didn’t want to take that path unless he had to.
No matter whether it rises or falls, as long as there is a war, the people will always suffer.
The funeral of the Empress Dowager was very grand, but Emperor Taixiang fell ill at this time, and when the spring flowers bloomed, he was already bedridden.
