The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

The man stretched out his hand and grabbed Queen Yan.

His five fingers were like hooks, pressing straight into Yanhou's neck.

Queen Yan was startled by the sudden figure and was unable to react for a moment. She stood there in a daze and forgot to hide.

But fortunately, the man was tripped by the door curtain, stumbled, and fell to the ground half an inch away from Yan Hou.

At this time Fei Wan had already arrived.

He pounced directly on Queen Yan, rolled with her on the ground, and went far away.

"Yes, yes, there is an assassin!"

The eunuch at the back let out a cry.

Turn around and run out.

The man on the ground leaped up and broke free from the door curtain in a few tries. He tried to grab the eunuch to stop him from shouting, but it was no use.

The man made a quick decision, turned around and flew out of the window, smashing the window frame and rushing out.

The imperial guards were on duty outside, and they all drew their swords in shock.

Hearing the sounds of fighting outside, Fei Wan helped Queen Yan stand up and asked, "Sister, are you hurt?"

"no!"

Queen Yan's tone was firm and calm, but her tight grip on Fei Wan's arm revealed her nervousness.

The guards rushed in from outside the door.

Empress Yan showed no sign of panic as she sternly ordered, "There is an assassin in the palace. Capture him immediately and keep him alive for interrogation! Find His Majesty as quickly as possible! Arrest He Shuangying of the He family. Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"

The guards shouted and quickly went about their business.

Everyone was very panicked.

I originally thought it was a quarrel among concubines over favor, but it turned out to be an assassin. Who dares to take responsibility?

The chief guard on duty was overwhelmed when he thought about how he had just stopped Queen Yan from entering the palace.

If anything happens to His Majesty, his head and the heads of his entire family will be in danger!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"

Fortunately, the emperor was not missing and was soon found.

The man was lying on the floor of the bathroom behind the bedroom, his clothes in disarray.

There was a wound on the chest and blood was spreading.

"Call the imperial physician quickly! Call all the people on duty and those not on duty in the Imperial Hospital! Go quickly!" Queen Yan ordered loudly.

But she quickly added, "No one is allowed to leak the news. If anyone outside Chenqian Palace knows that His Majesty has been assassinated without my permission, I will hold them accountable whoever told them!"

When the emperor was assassinated and his life or death was unknown, it was reasonable for her to handle the situation this way.

To avoid causing unrest in the palace and the court, or even a coup and the replacement of the new emperor.

At this time, Cao Bin finally hurried over.

He had been feeling unwell and, since he wasn't on duty that night, he was resting in a small courtyard on the west side of the palace. It was a temporary shelter for eunuchs who weren't on duty and didn't leave the palace, and the furnishings were quite comfortable. He had long since grown tired and had fallen into a deep sleep.

I was woken up in the middle of the night by someone saying there was a commotion in Chenqian Palace, so I hurried over. I was not very clear-headed the whole way, my head was dizzy, my heart was pounding, and even the cold wind didn't help.

When he arrived at Chenqian Palace, he happened to see an assassin breaking through the window, and he was so scared that his heart, which had been beating wildly, almost stopped beating.

He did not care about his physical discomfort and rushed into the hall to assist Queen Yan in presiding over the situation.

The palace servants and guards were chasing after the suspects, some were calling for the imperial physician, and the rest were detained by Cao Bin around the Chenqian Palace, and no one was allowed to walk around or move around.

While Empress Yan was in control, Fei Wan had already come to the emperor, squatted down, and felt the emperor's pulse, breathing, and heartbeat.

"Don't worry, Empress. His Majesty has lost a lot of blood, but it seems that there are no vital injuries. He should be able to wake up soon when the imperial physician arrives."

The head guard also stepped forward to conduct a preliminary inspection. Although he was not as sure as Fei Wan, he was at least relieved.

Your Majesty should not die!

Thank God, maybe my whole family’s heads don’t need to be moved…

As he was thinking, his eyes became blurry, and he saw Fei Wan raised his hand and slapped He Shuangying, who was lying not far from the emperor, in the face.

The movement was so fast that he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to, not to mention that he didn't want to stop it.

"Get up! Why are you pretending to be dizzy? Tell me the truth about what happened here!"

Fei Wan scolded He Shuangying, who had her eyes closed.

Only then did everyone have time to go and see her. In the chaos just now, everyone was worried about the emperor, and seeing her lying not far away, not knowing whether she was dead or alive, no one paid any attention to her.

He Shuangying's head was knocked to one side, but her eyes were still closed, with no signs of waking up.

Queen Yan asked with disgust, "Is she dead?"

Fei Wan sneered: "No, she's just pretending to be unconscious. Your Majesty, wait for me to punish her!"

Fei Wan grabbed He Shuangying's thick, long hair and dragged her to the bathing pool a few steps away.

Everyone saw He Shuangying's face twisted several times, as if she couldn't bear the pain.

But he still didn't open his eyes.

Fei Wan dragged her to the edge of the pool and pressed her head directly into the water.

Grrrrrrrr.

After a series of large bubbles appeared in the pool water, He Shuangying quickly waved her arms and struggled, trying to raise her head from the water.

Fei Wan pulled her up by her hair and threw her by the pool. She gasped for breath and could no longer pretend.

"...I know nothing. I was summoned by His Majesty to serve. This is all His Majesty's will. The assassination has nothing to do with me. I don't know what's going on!"

This is not something she can get away with by saying she didn't know.

The emperor lay gravely wounded and bleeding, his life or death unknown. She was the only one who was alone with him at the time. Even if the assassination had nothing to do with her, she, the seductress who still seduced the emperor late at night, was the direct reason why the emperor had no one else to serve and protect him. A direct execution would be too easy for her!

At this time, the eunuch who had entered the hall to report came over. He didn't dare to come forward, but stood outside the bathroom door, explaining the situation in a shrill voice and clearing himself.

"Your Majesty, when I came in to report just now, it was this He who blocked the entrance to the bedroom and wouldn't let me in. She also said that Your Majesty was sleeping peacefully and shouldn't be disturbed. If I said one more word, Your Majesty would drag me out and beat me to death! That's why I failed to report! I've been deceived by her. I'll kneel outside and won't get up until Your Majesty wakes up! But she's deliberately covering up the truth and deceiving Your Majesty and everyone else. There must be something wrong. Your Majesty, please investigate. Please investigate!"

Such servants who fail to investigate and pass the buck afterward will usually be severely punished by the Queen.

But this was not the time to deal with him. He still had to use him as evidence to accuse He Shuangying, so he ordered him to go out and kneel down.

After his revelation, he immediately ordered someone to take He Shuangying away for interrogation.

"If you don't tell the truth, you will be tortured!"

"Yes, madam!"

Several eunuchs and guards came forward together. Cao Bin selected a steady and reliable eunuch to preside over the trial and asked them to go to the side hall.

The imperial doctors hurried over one after another.

When the first wave arrived at the scene, the incident had occurred less than a quarter of an hour ago.

No one dared to move the emperor, so the imperial physician examined and treated him directly by the pool.

Stop the bleeding and bandage the emperor's body, and assess his physical condition.

Soon, the leading imperial physician reported, "Your Majesty's external injury is only an inch away from the heart, which is very serious. You need careful treatment and recovery. The external injury is serious, and the internal injuries are also serious."

Empress Yan's face was gloomy: "What internal injuries?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has come into contact with, or may even have consumed, a large amount of aphrodisiacs... This has severely damaged your body. Not only has it depleted your vital energy, but it will also affect the recovery of your injuries! I dare not make any rash remarks on your own. After the Academy of Literature has issued its verdict, we will make a further assessment and decision. However, in my humble opinion, Your Majesty should avoid any exertion for the next three months. It is best not to manage state affairs. Instead, you should focus on replenishing your vital energy. Otherwise, I am afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid it will... affect my lifespan!"

Everyone present changed their expressions.

It's actually so serious?!
