Chapter 357 The Emperor Instructs on His Last Affairs
The Queen didn't understand why the girls wanted to call her and Eunuch Yao in together.
Luo Yu only whispered in their ears: "No matter what, we are on the emperor's side. You must trust me 100%."
The queen frowned slightly, and her words were short and sharp.
"Why?"
She was clearly very close to Ning Wang Zhu Jinyou, but now she was claiming to be on the emperor's side.
"Because, once the emperor passes away, I'm sure you all understand that the various forces within the court will be leaderless and will eventually choose sides. If civil unrest is caused, it will only implicate innocent people. I, Qin Luohong, am not on either side. I only stand on the side of the innocent."
Xia Liang said in a low voice behind the curtain: "The emperor has woken up, everyone be quiet, he has something to say."
The queen wanted to see the emperor, but was blocked outside the curtain by Qin Bingrui.
The emperor's voice was low and weak, but very intimidating.
"Queen, I have something to tell you. Miss Qin Bingrui can ensure that our prince can succeed to the throne smoothly. While I am asleep, please help him."
After coughing, he continued, "Emissary Yao, if I die, you must protect my son and help him ascend the throne. You can't let anyone else take it."
Eunuch Yao was entrusted with an important task and bowed to receive the order: "I obey your command."
The last words were said to Eunuch Gao.
"Eunuch Gao, please give my tiger talisman to Miss Qin Bingrui and ask her to help represent the major military forces."
"this?"
Eunuch Gao was really confused. Why didn't he give it to Eunuch Yao or the Queen, but gave it to an outsider?
"Eunuch Gao, are you questioning me?"
The emperor's voice became weaker and weaker, but his tone was exceptionally calm, and every word was clear.
"Miss Qin has no power at the moment, and she's a woman. She can help me stay alive, so she's the most trustworthy person right now. The princes are still young, and the eldest is only 15. His mother, Concubine E, has no power or influence in her family, so they simply can't take over the throne. But the princes I have and the Queen's are still young. If I give the tiger talisman to the Queen, I'm afraid it won't bring protection, but disaster. Do you understand?"
Eunuch Gao wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "I understand."
Eunuch Yao carefully considered the situation and concluded that this was indeed the case. Even if Miss Qin held the tiger talisman, no army would obey her. However, she could at least give a slight jolt to the various factions. As long as the emperor remained alive, no faction would dare to disobey his orders.
The Queen now understood even more clearly that her prince was still young. Even if she agreed to let Miss Qin take over the Tiger Talisman, it wouldn't necessarily help her survive until that day. However, if anyone else seized the imperial power, neither she nor the young prince would have a good life. It would be better to let Miss Qin keep the Tiger Talisman for the time being. Perhaps Concubine Ying would really lend the Queen a helping hand as she had promised.
Eunuch Gao went through layers of switches and secret passages, took out different exclusive tiger talismans and handed them to Qin Bingrui.
Qin Bingrui's mouth was wide open.
"Then let's go out together and have a good talk with everyone. The emperor has fallen into a coma and needs the protection and recuperation of the dragon summoned by Miss Xia. From now on, the tiger talisman is in my hands, Qin Bingrui, and I will act as his agent."
Eunuch Gao walked in front and told the news to everyone.
The faces of everyone present, including several ministers who arrived later, darkened.
With the Empress and the Envoy Yao as witnesses, no one dared to question it. However, the Empress Dowager was unexpectedly furious and asked, "Why would the Emperor hand over the Tiger Talisman to such an unknown outsider? What kind of magic did you use to deceive the Emperor?"
Luo Yu, who was walking at the end, walked forward slowly.
Her tone was extremely cold, as if a thick layer of ice chips was sprinkled in the air around her.
"The dragon summoned by Miss Xia can preserve the emperor's dragon body and keep him alive. Even though the emperor is currently sleeping, perhaps one day he will wake up."
"Hmph, if the dragon can truly protect the body, why didn't it completely heal the emperor? You, a witch, will surely dare to deceive the people with your lies. Come, capture this witch and execute her immediately."
Zhu Jinyou immediately stood in front of Luo Yu.
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is still ill. If we kill someone without reason now, I'm afraid it will only increase our karma of killing and affect the Emperor's complete recovery."
"These evil women are spreading lies and misleading the people. If we don't deal with them today, our Zhu family will be in chaos."
Apart from Zhu Jinyou, no one dared to speak for Luo Yu.
But at this moment, Luo Yu's voice was a little louder than the Queen Mother's: "Queen Mother, I now respectfully address you as Queen Mother. Now that Miss Qin has the tiger talisman in hand, we have the supreme power granted by the Emperor. Anyone who dares to touch us will be guilty of deceiving the Emperor.
If you continue to slander the dragon and call us witches, you will suffer retribution."
As soon as she finished speaking, she retracted her hand into her sleeve and touched the invisible screen.
I saw a golden dragon rushing out from the bedroom into the vast dark sky, illuminating the entire dark night like day.
The empress dowager looked up and saw the huge creature. She staggered back a step and Nanny Zhang behind her immediately supported her.
Then, the dragon soaring through the dark sky surged forward, its icy scales gleaming coldly beneath the shimmering starlight. After circling for a moment, it opened its maw and belched forth a pillar of fire ten thousand feet high, its flames relentless, like a giant fireball, instantly igniting the Empress Dowager's chambers.
Everyone was shocked!
Qin Bingrui was also shocked. Did Sister Luo Yu go too far?
Fortunately, it was not a new type of bomb, otherwise everyone in the palace would not have had time to escape.
The divine dragon once again roamed under the inky black sky. When everyone looked up at it devoutly, the divine dragon roared like a huge bell, echoing endlessly in the void.
Suddenly, everyone heard the dragon speak, its voice was deep, powerful and shocking.
"I am cultivating within the body of the emperor of the human world. I hope you will not disturb me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon flew through the roof and into the emperor's bedroom like a flash of thunder and lightning, until it completely disappeared. Only then did everyone come back to their senses from the shock.
The Queen Mother looked at the flames rising from her bedroom and could not help but put her hands together and pray.
Qin Bingrui tried hard to suppress the twitching of his expression and not let himself laugh out loud.
"Now, I think everyone believes what I said. This girl is not lying at all!"
Luo Yu's voice was neither loud nor soft, and his eyes were very indifferent, as if the dragon had never appeared.
After saying this, Luo Yu glanced coldly at the Queen Mother, wondering if he could calm her down for a while.
If the truth is bound to be revealed sooner or later, then the issue of who will inherit the throne must be resolved peacefully during this period of time.
When she was about to enter the emperor's bedroom with Qin Bingrui, Zhu Jinyou grabbed her wrist.
For the first time, he saw her gaze fixed on nothingness, without any ripples or tenderness. She was completely different from the Miss Luo Yu of the past.
"Luo Yu, you can't stay here overnight."
Luo Yu gently let go of his hand.
"It's okay. Someone has to watch over the emperor. He's still in critical condition. We can take turns looking after him."
He was stunned. Her tone had indeed become much colder.
"Okay, I'll have someone bring your clothes and supplies over later."
Luo Yu avoided his gaze and walked into the emperor's bedroom without looking back, followed closely by Eunuch Gao and Qin Bingrui.
Zhu Jinyou muttered: "She must have misunderstood something."
The Empress Dowager had already ordered people to return to Cifu Palace.
After everyone had left, the Queen was shocked and said to An Guogong, "Father, will the dragon really protect us?"
Several ministers originally wanted to help the empress dowager reprimand the foreign women, but when they thought that the dragon god dared to burn even the empress dowager's bedroom, they dared not say a word and just waited outside the bedroom for the emperor to wake up.
Eunuch Yao asked Ye Yucheng to take the people from the Imperial City Bureau to guard the emperor's bedroom tightly and not allow any outsiders to enter.
