"How, how is this possible?"
Seeing that Zhao Zheng was still fine and did not show any signs of being poisoned, the assassin was dumbfounded.
He had smeared an incurable poison on the dagger. As long as it was stained, even the gods could not save it.
However, the fatuous ruler was fine…
The assassin was now suspecting if the person who gave her the poison had given her fake medicine.
On the other side, Zhao Zheng also heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Zhao Zheng had chosen a physique that was immune to all poisons in the previous reward options, he had never tested it before, so he was not very confident.
Now, he was really fine.
As expected, the system's products were definitely top-notch!
Zhao Zheng was relieved.
Seeing the assassin's incredulous expression, Zhao Zheng sneered,""I said that I am the Son of Heaven and have the protection of the heavens. A mere poison wants to hurt me? It's simply wishful thinking!"
The female assassin suddenly struggled.
"Stupid ruler! A fatuous ruler! I'm going to kill you, you won't die a good death…"
Zhao Zheng was too lazy to ask why this female assassin hated him so much.
Because of what he had done recently, too many people hated him.
Waving his hand, Zhao Zheng was about to ask Feng Zhong to take the female assassin away and interrogate the mastermind when the Empress suddenly stood up.
"Emperor, this matter happened in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. Chenqie implores the emperor to let Chenqie deal with this matter.”
"Oh?"
Zhao Zheng was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.
"Thank you, Emperor."
After Xiao Yuzhen thanked him, his entire aura changed.
If it was said that the Xiao Yuzhen of the past was kind but lacked power, she was not a qualified empress. The current Xiao Yuzhen was full of sharpness, and her entire body carried a fierce aura. Zhao Zheng could even clearly feel the anger of his first wife.
Such a huge change was due to the assassination incident tonight, which almost killed the emperor. People can't just be kind!
A good man is bullied.
If a person was too easy to talk to, even if she was the mother of the world, there would still be people who would have evil thoughts about her.
Zhao Zheng probably didn't expect that the assassination incident tonight would actually allow Xiao Yuzhen to be reborn.
"Manager Feng!"
Xiao Yuzhen shouted in a cold voice.
"This old servant is here," Feng Zhong hurriedly replied.
"Assassin, bengong will leave it to you. You must interrogate the mastermind, even if you have to resort to unscrupulous means!!”
Feng Zhong was the Emperor's number one eunuch. Even though Xiao Yuzhen was the Empress, she did not have the authority to command, so she used the word " please."
"Empress, please rest assured. This old servant will personally interrogate him!”
Feng Zhong looked at the female assassin coldly as he said this.
He was loyal to the Emperor. His life value was to protect the Emperor's safety.
This person actually dared to assassinate the Emperor. He was Feng Zhong's mortal enemy!!
Xiao Yuzhen nodded and then shouted,""Qingmei!"
Qing Mei, who was outside the door, had already entered. She immediately replied,"This servant is here."
At this moment, Qing Mei felt that the empress had completely changed.
"Take Bengong's token and bring people to the Shanggong Bureau. Investigate all the female officials in the Shanggong Bureau. Those who are related to tonight's matter will be detained in the respectful service room for interrogation.”
The Imperial Bureau was the department responsible for the allocation of palace maids.
This female assassin was able to sneak into the Palace of Earth Tranquility, so there must be someone working with her.
"This servant will obey!"
Qing Mei secretly clicked her tongue. She felt that the empress was too powerful tonight.
"Xia Ju."
Another palace maid entered and said in a trembling voice,"This servant is here."
"Go and get the imperial physician immediately!"
"This servant will go now…"
Xiao Yuzhen was giving out orders while Zhao Zheng was watching from the side.
The more he looked, the more surprised he became.
In the end, Zhao Zheng revealed a gratified smile.
Putting aside Xiao Yuzhen's orders, the aura around Xiao Yuzhen now had some of Zhao Zheng's essence.
This girl was not bad. She was growing very quickly!
As the empress, if she wanted to manage the harem well, it was not enough to rely on kindness alone. She also had to have the power to suppress the harem.
The current Xiao Yuzhen could be considered to have both kindness and power, and truly possessed the aura of a mother of the world!
……
After issuing three orders in a row, Xiao Yuzhen turned around and looked at Zhao Zheng.
"Your Majesty, ChenQie has overstepped her boundaries, please punish her…"
When facing Zhao Zheng, Xiao Yuzhen was still that little woman.
"You did well." Zhao Zheng smiled.”
At this moment.
The female assassin on the ground suddenly began to twitch and foam at the mouth, mixed with blood.
"Not good!" "She hid poison in her mouth!" Feng Zhong shouted.”
Then, Feng Zhong pressed his palm on the female assassin's abdomen. Under the pressure of his palm, the female assassin immediately spat out all the food in her stomach.
However, the poison was so strong that Feng Zhong's actions were useless.
Not long after, the female assassin's pupils started to blur, her breathing stopped, and she finally died…
No one knew that the female assassin's thoughts before she died were: The poison was real, and the fatuous ruler really had the protection of the heavens!
He had such thoughts because the poison pill hidden in the female assassin's mouth was the same as the poison on the dagger.
Seeing the female assassin dead, Feng Zhong's face turned ugly and gloomy.
"Emperor, I'm afraid this person is a death warrior…"
Death warrior.
It referred to those who specialized in carrying out missions with no return.
Such a person could only be nurtured by a large family.
Zhao Zheng's expression was calm.
This was because Zhao Zheng knew that the people who wanted to kill him were none other than those civil officials.
It seemed that his actions had made those civil officials uneasy.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng sneered.
Since you dare to take the risk, don't blame your royal father for being shameless…
"Pull them out and feed them to the dogs!" Zhao Zheng said coldly.
Zhao Zheng would never be polite to those who wanted to kill him, and he would never show mercy just because they were women.
That night!
The palace was heavily guarded!
……
The next day.
The news of the Emperor's assassination spread.
Ordinary people might not know, but those well-informed ministers naturally knew at the first moment.
Shocked to hear that the Emperor had been assassinated, the various officials rushed to the palace to seek an audience, but they were blocked by Feng Zhong, who had a gloomy face and claimed that the Emperor was furious and would not see anyone.
Even Yu Qian, the favorite of the Emperor, was not summoned by the Emperor.
After the officials left, the Yan Faction elders gathered in the small pavilion from yesterday.
