Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

Xianwang Mansion

The wise king's gaze fell on the imperial palace in the distance. The counselor Fan Zhi standing beside him understood what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take back everything that belongs to you."

"The late emperor appointed you as the future king of Da Qi. It was the empress and the prime minister who colluded to alter the will, leading to the Third Prince ascending the throne."

"Mr. Fan, have you arranged everything?"

"Everything has been arranged. We are only waiting for the prince's order. They will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Is it true that Prince Mu returned without any troops?"

"I've confirmed multiple times that he didn't bring any soldiers back with him. He was only accompanied by a dozen or so guards."

"Even if we add the Royal Guards and the Imperial Guards, we won't be afraid."

"When do we start?"

At this time, a guard came and reported: "Master, word has come from the palace that the emperor drank the medicine that Prince Mu brought back and died on the spot."

"The Queen Mother and Prince Mu discussed concealing the truth from the outside world and allowing Prince Mu to ascend the throne as soon as possible before announcing the funeral."

"Why not let the Crown Prince ascend the throne? He is the Emperor's legitimate son."

"The Queen Mother would definitely want her son to be the Emperor. Even if the Grand Queen Mother is noble, she has no real power. But the Queen Mother is different."

"Your Highness, now is the perfect time. If you continue to oppose Prince Mu once he ascends the throne, it will be considered a rebellion. If you fail, you will be charged with treason."

"Now you're breaking into the palace under the pretext of attacking Prince Mu and plotting to murder the emperor, and the world doesn't dare to comment on you. Instead, they praise you for your righteousness."

"If I stick my head out, I'll be struck by a sword. If I hide my head, I'll still be struck by a sword. I'll be remembered for eternity. If I lose, I'll just die. But I won't accept the thought of you kneeling down and bowing before that immature brat."

"Originally, the supreme throne belonged to me. Now I can only take back what belongs to me."

"What the prince said is absolutely true."

Several guards quickly expressed their resolve, "We swear to be loyal to the prince until death."

The wise king became more confident that he could accomplish great things.

He shouted, "Send a message to General Chen at Jinpei Port. He ordered his troops to stop General Xie of the Cavalry Corps outside the city today. He ordered him to stop General Xie from supporting the Imperial Palace."

"Send another order to General Zhao of Yongzhou, and have him quietly return to the capital with his troops today. Tomorrow at noon, I will personally lead the troops to attack King Mu. He is plotting to murder the emperor in order to seize imperial power, and he must be put to death."

"I congratulate my master in advance on his victory."

The wise king laughed heartily with joy.

Prime Minister's Mansion

When Prime Minister Huo learned the news of the emperor's death, he was stunned for a moment.

"Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the palace."

Madam Huo quickly held him back, "Master, don't worry. The matter has not been confirmed by the Queen Mother and the Empress. How dare you act rashly? If the news is false, have you thought about the consequences?"

"The Queen Mother is now planning for her son to ascend the throne. She is still the noble Queen Mother. Prince Mu has been trained in the military for many years and has his own opinions and ideas. He will not listen to me, his uncle, at all."

"The prince is young. When he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, the Queen Mother will make the decisions. The court will definitely rely on me."

"Unlike the emperor, who has been on the throne for many years and has grown strong, he doesn't value me as his uncle at all, and has slowly divided the power in my hands among the Xue and He families."

"Now their two families are almost catching up with our Huo family's status in the capital. The prince must ascend the throne and become emperor, so that our Huo family can return to its peak."

"Master, you must first send someone to the palace to get accurate information from the Queen before making any plans. This is a risky move, we must proceed steadily and cautiously, and not be impulsive. The future of the Huo family depends on your decision."

Prime Minister Huo paused for a moment, "Butler..."

"Master, what do you want?"

"Send someone to the Queen's palace to confirm whether the Emperor has passed away. If there is any news, report it immediately."

"Yes."

Royal Palace

The Emperor leaned back on the dragon couch and looked at Shangguan Yunting. "Royal brother, what do you think their reaction will be when they hear the news of my 'death'?"

"I don't know, my royal brother, but if there's no movement from them after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, then everything will be fine."

"I hope they can stand the test, otherwise it will be a bloody storm."

At this time, the Queen Mother and the Empress also learned the news of the Emperor's "death" and rushed over.

When the eunuch saw them coming, he bowed loudly and said, "This old servant pays homage to the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the Empress."

"Chen Fu, how is the emperor?"

"Your Majesty is well."

They quickly entered the hall, and Doctor Chen and other imperial doctors hurriedly took the emperor's pulse.

"Mother, why are you here?"

"Aijia, I heard that your royal brother..."

Shangguan Yunting said quickly: "My royal brother, I haven't woken up yet, so I didn't send anyone to tell you. Now that you're here, please stay with me for a while!"

"Doctor Chen, Your Majesty, how is it?"

Doctor Chen showed a serious expression and shook his head to indicate that he had done his best.

The Queen Mother angrily scolded, "Didn't you say that with the medicine, you could cure the poison in the Emperor's body? Why can't I cure it now? You quack, if anything happens to the Emperor, I will have your head chopped off."

Doctor Chen and the other doctors were so frightened that they knelt down immediately and said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. Please forgive me."

"Mother, please don't blame the imperial physician. My brother hasn't woken up since taking the medicine. You can't blame anyone else. They are human, not gods."

The Queen Mother said with a worried look on her face, "Mother is worried about your brother."

"Royal brother, he is the true dragon emperor. With the blessing of heaven, he will definitely survive this disaster."

"The Queen Mother also prays that he is safe."

"Eunuch Chen, please call all the princes and concubines to come and see the emperor."

Shangguan Yunting's words were ambiguous, which made people feel that the emperor was about to die, and he summoned his family to see him for the last time.

The Queen now didn't know whether what they said was true or false, but when she heard Shangguan Yunting order Eunuch Chen to summon all the princes and concubines to see the Emperor for the last time, she dared to conclude that the Emperor was really dying.

He quickly winked at the servant behind him, who quietly went out and quickly passed the message to Prime Minister Huo outside the palace.

All the concubines and princes came to the bedroom and knelt down. I don’t know whether they were crying sincerely or not, but they all shed tears silently.

The crown prince, the queen's legitimate son, held the emperor's hand with a sincere and touching emotion.

Concubine He, the eldest prince's biological mother, had long been a thorn in the Empress's side. Previously, the Emperor had been hesitant to appoint a crown prince, and the Empress, worried about giving the crown prince to her eldest son, frequently made things difficult for him. The Empress and Concubine He were at odds with each other.

The third prince's mother, Concubine Ruan, was also the emperor's favorite concubine. She died in childbirth. For so many years, the emperor had been obsessed with her and was very protective of the son she gave birth to. Although he had no maternal support, he still made the queen wary.

The fourth prince's biological mother, Concubine Shu, is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue and is deeply favored by the emperor.

Several princes knelt before the dragon bed and looked at the emperor sadly. This scene was exactly the same as if the emperor had passed away, but it was just performed in advance.

Shangguan Yunting's heart was twitching. Seeing the true feelings expressed by the concubines and princes in the palace, he almost believed it.

Seeing that the emperor was "dying soon", the concubines in each palace were making plans for their own and their children's future.

Shangguan Yunting couldn't stand their hypocrisy anymore.

He quickly ordered them to leave, "Ladies and gentlemen, please leave so as not to disturb my brother's rest."

The Third Prince, Shangguan Rui, looked at the Emperor lying on the dragon couch and said firmly, "Uncle, let me stay and accompany my father!"

Shangguan Yunting looked at the emperor lying on the dragon couch, thinking that he was giving himself a hint, but the emperor did not move at all, which made Shangguan Yunting confused. What did he mean?

So he didn't dare to leave the Third Prince behind rashly to prevent his plan from being disrupted.

"Rui'er, go back and rest! Come back to see your father tomorrow."

"Uncle, I just want to accompany my father. I promise not to disturb his rest."

Shangguan Yunting looked at the emperor again, but he still didn't give any hint, which made him feel torn.

Shangguan Rui saw that his uncle was silent, "Uncle, I'll go to the door so as not to disturb Father."

"Alright."

Shangguan Yunting watched him leave and whispered in the emperor's ear, "Brother, are you asleep?"

"How can I sleep with such noise? Do you think I'm really dead?"

"Brother, you are talking nonsense."

"Old Nine, you are very observant. See how sincere the concubines and the princes are to me."

How dare Shangguan Yunting speak carelessly? "Royal brother, your mind is as clear as a mirror, do you still need to ask your younger brother?"

The emperor sneered: "Look at my harem. There are so many women and children, but very few who truly care about me."

"Don't say that. Doesn't Rui'er care about you very much? He's still waiting at the door."

"Rui'er, he has been kind and broad-minded since childhood. Even though he was bullied by many princes and princesses, he never came to me to complain."

"Because he has no mother to rely on, he chooses to endure it and does not want to embarrass you."

"This child is as kind as his mother, but it's a pity that his mother passed away early."

"This child is good. If he is well trained, he will become extraordinary when he grows up."

"Laojiu, when this matter is over, go to the military camp and bring him with you to train."

"Brother Emperor, are you willing to let Rui'er go with me to the military camp and suffer?"

"Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best, and the emperor trusts you."

"I will definitely live up to your trust."
