Chapter 158: Women’s Love for the Country (11)
As Murong Cheng fell to the ground and vomited blood, the thunderclouds in the sky instantly dissipated.
Pei Xuan's face turned pale, and he trembled all over as he supported Murong Cheng and shouted hoarsely.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
All the ministers were so frightened by this sudden change that they stood there in a daze. It was the Duke of Zhenguo who reacted first. He hurriedly ordered people to carry Murong Cheng to the bedroom and sent someone to call the imperial physician.
The palace was instantly thrown into chaos.
Juyuan Tower is the restaurant closest to the imperial palace. At this moment, in a room on the third floor, the windows on the east side were wide open, facing the imperial palace.
Liu Shu was wearing silver-white armor and standing by the window, looking quietly in the direction of the palace.
As the thunderclouds dissipated, the piece of talisman paper in her hand instantly turned into golden powder.
She raised her hand gently, and the golden powder was blown away in the wind, leaving no trace.
The visions in the sky were no coincidence.
Liu Shu used a heavenly thunder talisman bought from the system mall, but this world is just an ordinary world and there is no special power system, so the effect will be greatly reduced. The heavenly thunder that could originally split people into black carbon can only be heard here.
However, it is enough as a deterrent.
For others, additional measures are needed.
Liu Shu walked to the table, picked up a small wooden stick beside her and poked the bug in the cold jade box. The black bug was hard and turned over after being poked, but it still did not move.
Liu Shu threw the wooden stick away, closed the lid with a snap, took off the token from her waist and threw it to Qingli who was waiting beside her.
"Qingli, take my token and ask Awu to lead the people into the city. I will go to the palace first."
Outside the emperor's bedroom, a group of ministers were waiting anxiously.
Inside the bedroom, all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau gathered beside the dragon bed to examine Murong Cheng's body.
The Queen Mother had a worried look on her face. She looked at the quiet inner room and could not sit down peacefully. She paced back and forth anxiously from time to time.
Suddenly thinking of something, the Queen Mother looked sharply at Pei Xuan who was standing beside her.
"What on earth is going on? Why did His Majesty vomit blood and faint for no reason? Today is His Majesty's wedding day."
The Queen Mother was already very unhappy with Murong Cheng marrying Pei Xuan as his queen, and she had originally wanted her niece to be the queen.
However, Murong Cheng was unwilling to be the empress dowager's puppet, so he offered the position of empress to win over the Duke of Zhenguo.
Now that this has happened, the Queen Mother vented all her anger on Pei Xuan.
While the Queen Mother was worried about Murong Cheng, she was also secretly thinking in her heart that it would be great if she could use this incident to depose Pei Xuan from her position as Queen.
After all, the incident happened when His Majesty was getting married to her. He could just accuse Pei Xuan of having a bad fate and being incompatible with the Emperor, and thus Pei Xuan could not be the Queen.
However, the premise of all this is that Murong Cheng is not in any serious trouble.
Hearing the Queen Mother's harsh questioning, Pei Xuan's whole body stiffened, and his originally bloodless face turned even paler.
She pursed her lips, not knowing how to respond to the Queen Mother's words.
At this moment, she no longer had the joy of becoming the queen. During their wedding, Murong Cheng vomited blood and fell into a coma, and his life was in danger. In addition, there were strange phenomena in the sky at that time.
Pei Xuan felt extremely terrified.
She prayed madly in her heart that Murong Cheng was safe and sound, otherwise she couldn't imagine what would happen to her.
"Empress Dowager, this happened suddenly and no one expected it. The most important thing now is the emperor's health. As for other matters, the emperor will be able to decide them after he wakes up."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was making things difficult for Pei Xuan, the Duke of Zhenguo stepped forward to mediate.
The Duke of Zhenguo was a shrewd man and saw through the Queen Mother's plan at a glance.
No matter what, Pei Xuan is a member of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and he shares the same fate with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Pei Xuan cannot bear this crime, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion cannot take this responsibility.
Seeing the Duke of Zhenguo show up, the Queen Mother felt a little apprehensive.
He snorted coldly, turned his head away and said no more.
The Duke of Zhenguo was relieved to see that the Queen Mother was no longer causing trouble, but the worry in his eyes did not subside.
His Majesty had no problems early or late, but on the day of his wedding, he suddenly had a strange sign, vomited blood and fell into a coma.
This is not a good thing!
Now we just hope that His Majesty is safe and sound, otherwise the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion will be in trouble.
Even if this matter has nothing to do with them, they are afraid that someone will use it to make a fuss, such as the Queen Mother who is eyeing the position of Queen.
The Duke of Zhenguo had a worried look on his face as he was thinking about a strategy.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting for the imperial physician's results, suddenly there was a sound of weapons clashing and orderly footsteps outside.
A group of soldiers wearing silver armor and holding sharp blades suddenly appeared and quickly surrounded the emperor's bedroom tightly.
Silver armor? This is the unique symbol of the Liu family army.
"What's going on? Why did the Liu family army enter the palace?"
"Yes! But what happened? Your Majesty..."
The ministers outside the hall became nervous when they saw the army suddenly appearing, and started discussing in low voices.
It was not until the Liu family army completely surrounded the emperor's bedroom that Liu Shu finally walked out from behind.
Seeing the aggressive Liu Shu, the ministers guarding outside the palace subconsciously stepped back and made way for her.
Liu Shu calmly walked past the crowd and came into the hall.
"General Liu, without the order of His Majesty, you secretly led troops into the palace. What do you intend to do?"
As soon as Liu Shu entered the hall, the Queen Mother took the lead in attacking.
"Your Majesty, we have to take urgent measures. I heard that something happened to Your Majesty, and I was very worried. Your Majesty has always been in good health, but he suddenly vomited blood and fainted. I suspect someone is plotting to murder Your Majesty, so I led the troops into the palace to protect you. May I ask, Your Majesty, what is wrong with that?" Liu Shu replied without changing her expression.
The Queen Mother was unable to refute for a moment. She pursed her lips into a straight line, looked at Liu Shu with dissatisfaction, and said nothing.
The Queen Mother didn't like Liu Shu, but she also knew that Liu Shu was Murong Cheng's person and would not harm Murong Cheng no matter what, so she didn't interfere.
Liu Shu frowned and glanced at the busy imperial physician in the middle, then glanced at several high-ranking officials of the emperor in the hall, and asked in a worried tone:
"I heard that His Majesty suddenly vomited blood and fainted while he and the Queen were receiving worship from the court officials. All the adults were there at the time. Can you tell me what exactly happened at that time?"
What's going on! When the adults thought of the thunder at that time, they looked at each other with heavy faces, not knowing how to speak.
The thunder appeared suddenly without any warning, but disappeared suddenly after Your Majesty vomited blood. This is really... too much of a coincidence.
It was as if the thunderbolt suddenly appeared just to punish Your Majesty.
This situation was so beyond their understanding that they didn't know how to express it.
Everyone looked at the Duke of Zhenguo and motioned for him to speak.
Well, it was because His Majesty encountered trouble when he was marrying the daughter of the Pei family. Of course, the Duke of Zhenguo had to step in himself.
Duke of Zhenguo: ...
Which god did their Zhenguo Mansion offend? He was so unlucky. If he had known earlier, he should not have accepted His Majesty's solicitation.
