Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1154

The palace fell into deathly silence. The air seemed to freeze, with only Doctor Wen's sorrowful cries echoing.

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She stepped forward to check Emperor Mingde's breath... She was overwhelmed with grief, her hands trembling, tears streaming down her face. Her voice was filled with endless sorrow and anger. "Emperor! Emperor! Wake up, wake up! Emperor, you were killed by the princess of another family whom you appointed!"

When the people outside the palace heard the news of the emperor's death, not only did Ma Chuyi drop his spear, but even Lou Ping was stunned.

Lou Ping murmured, "How, how could this happen?"

As he spoke, he dropped the weapon in his hand.

As soon as he threw his weapon, the team of royal guards he led threw their weapons one after another.

Only Cen Yuan protected Shi Anxia and retreated into the main hall.

The two men were like frightened birds and were surrounded by the Imperial Guards and the Eastern Feather Guards.

“Someone! Someone!” The Queen Mother was still shouting, with unquestionable majesty and determination in her voice, “Quickly bring that evil woman to me! I want to interrogate her in person to see how vicious she is and how she dared to murder the emperor!”

Outside the palace gate, Lou Yuxiao did not enter the inner hall at this time, but walked hurriedly, eager to send firework signals.

He had to control the entire situation before someone found the edict of succession.

The night is as dark as ink, the moon has disappeared, and it is like a dragnet covering the sky and the earth.

Lou Yuxiao came to a secret corner in the cold palace with ease.

He pushed aside the dense vines and revealed an exquisite copper box with complicated patterns carved on its surface.

Lou Yuxiao took a deep breath and lightly turned the mechanism with his fingers. With a slight "click" sound, the lid of the box slowly opened, revealing rows of carefully crafted firework tubes inside.

He quickly selected the most dazzling one and lit the fuse.

With a "whoosh" sound, fireworks cut through the night sky, bursting into dazzling light.

This is the signal for a siege, and also the clarion call for a sudden change...

At this moment, the Empress Dowager glanced sharply at the palace maids and eunuchs standing around her. Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and make people shudder.

She said in a hateful voice, "Eunuch Qi! The emperor treated you well, but I never thought you would collude with this witch to murder the emperor!"

Eunuch Qi was so frightened that he trembled, "I didn't! I don't know anything!"

The Queen Mother shook her head slightly, her eyes full of disappointment. "Eunuch Qi, you have followed the Emperor for many years and should have been his strongest support, but now you have become a sharp weapon in the hands of others. Considering your past contributions, I don't want to be too harsh on you, but if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Eunuch Qi's face turned even paler, and his legs could hardly support the weight of his body.

His voice was trembling, almost begging: "Her Majesty, please understand! I really don't know anything. I..."

“Then think about it carefully and speak after you’ve made up your mind. As long as you explain clearly how Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan killed the emperor, I will spare your life. Otherwise…” She waved her sleeves lightly, and the two guards behind her immediately stepped forward and lifted up Eunuch Qi.

Eunuch Qi was terrified and kept shouting "unfair".

"Take her away and keep her under strict guard. I will definitely find out the truth for His Majesty." The Queen Mother's voice was calm and firm, but she couldn't help but curl up a little smugly at the corner of her mouth. She said to Shi Anxia, ​​"Do you think you are really the Phoenix Girl of Heaven?"
