The palace maid was killed by Chunyu Hong with a single word. In that moment, the atmosphere froze.

Chunyu Hong's sudden words caused everyone to turn their attention to him.

Imperial Concubine Yu turned to look at her. She didn't dare to imagine what Chunyu Hong's intentions were. On the surface, it looked as if he was trying to resolve the conflict between the two, but Imperial Concubine Yu could feel the deeper meaning behind his actions.

He was protecting Jin Yu Lie.

His subconscious words were warning everyone. Sometimes, he would spare no cost to protect Jin Yu Lie's life. However, there was another meaning to this.

This was because Chunyu Hong's attitude towards Jin Yu Lie was somewhat ambiguous.

The empress had not spoken a word the entire time, but at this moment, she suddenly smiled gently and said, "Duke of Jin has always been strict. This kind of joke isn't interesting at all."

She suddenly opened her mouth, calming the atmosphere. The Empress suddenly stood up and walked to the front of Imperial Concubine Yu. She smiled and said, "Imperial Consort Yu, how could you possibly give the Duke of Jin poison wine?"

Imperial Concubine Yu didn't understand what the empress meant by that. She looked at the expression in her eyes and nodded her head with a hint of hesitation, "What the empress said is true. Duke Jin was overreacting."

"Is that so?" Jin Yulie suddenly smiled, "So this isn't a poison, but a nectar. This king really doesn't have such good fortune."

Imperial Concubine Yu's expression changed. The time was not right, she forcefully suppressed the thought of rushing over. She replied, "Yes."

And at this time, an unremarkable maid appeared within the banquet. Her appearance didn't arouse anyone's interest, except for Imperial Concubine Yu!

Originally, she had used a forced smile to stall for time, but when she saw this young palace maid give her a subtle nod of approval, the smile on Imperial Concubine Yu's face became somewhat more relaxed.

She swept her eyes over the faces of everyone in the room with that look of condescension and compassion, and finally stopped at Jin Yulai's face. She was smiling strangely, but she walked up to Chunyu Hong with the most graceful gesture, and bowed slightly in front of him.

Her figure was romantic and beautiful. The afterglow of the setting sun reflected off her face, giving it a warm orange light that gently covered up the malevolence in her eyes.

She kowtowed to Chunyu Hong and bent down. When she lowered her head, a tear fell on her skirt and broke it.

Everyone was silent, watching her sudden movements.

She said, "Your Majesty, my son is gone. "Hao'er died." Her eyes were filled with grief, but the words she spoke were extremely calm.

Chunyu Hong looked at her steadily, "I know." It was the first time in months that he had admitted it. This was also the first time he told Imperial Concubine Yu that not only did he know that Chunyu Hao had died, but he also knew how and who had killed him. "He is my child, but he is also your blood and bone."

"I will bury myself in his grave." He calmly said, as if the person who died had nothing to do with him, only his slightly trembling hands revealed his current mood. In the end, a tiger wouldn't devour its prey. Naturally, he would not reveal his pain.

"Why?" Imperial Concubine Yu was controlled by all the sadness in her heart. She could not accept Chunyu Hong's calmness. Your son, you're so patient? " Her voice was hoarse as she gradually began to lose her voice.

Everything that she had secretly planned began to move. It was just that, after all, she and he had been husband and wife for many years. She had married him when he was still young.

If, today, Chunyu Hong did not speak up for Jin Yu Lie, then Imperial Concubine Yu's anger would not be so strong, but, things had reversed. Now, after Chunyu Hong admitted to the truth of Chunyu Hao's death, he was not moved at all. This little bit of disappointment finally gathered into a torrent of despair.

Imperial Concubine Yu no longer had any expectations for anyone.

She stood up with a smile and looked at Chunyu Hong with a cold smile.

She shook her head. Suddenly, she took off all the pearls and pearls from her head and threw them on the ground. Her smile was one of despair.

Chunyu Feng was not far from him. When he saw Imperial Concubine Yu's expression, he immediately felt that something was wrong. When he looked at his mother, he also caught a flash of doubt on her face.

He cursed in his heart!

But at this moment, Imperial Concubine Yu suddenly attacked.

There were hundreds of princes and officials present. When they saw that Imperial Concubine Yu's situation wasn't right, they wanted to put some oil on their feet. However, at this time, they astonishingly discovered that countless guards had suddenly rushed out from their surroundings.

These guards were dressed in the uniform of the imperial guards, but there was no expression on their faces. All of them held bows and crossbows in their hands.

This crossbow was much stronger than Mu Yun's improved upgraded version!

These crossbows were even more powerful.

Suddenly, someone shot an arrow into the crowd as a deterrent.

This arrow was extremely fast and approached menacingly. One arrow pierced through the body of the palace maid, and the powerful force behind it did not stop as it pierced through the body of another eunuch.

The arrow shot out from his body and pierced into the seat beside him. As the arrow flew into the hole, it left behind a white feather that was still trembling.

This arrow displayed all of its power. This was more useful than any warning.

The power of this arrow was terrifying. Of the hundred or so nobles present, half of them were civil servants and the other half were martial generals. However, when they entered the palace, they had to hand over their weapons.

Therefore, the only things that these people could use now were the tables and stools. However, the power of this arrow was great, so it seemed that these tables and stools weren't very useful.

These guards that suddenly appeared all seemed to be listening to Imperial Concubine Yu.

Right now, Imperial Concubine Yu was standing at a high place with her long hair falling to the ground and a sorrowful look on her face. Her expression did not seem right, but she was murmuring, "Hao'er, you won't be too lonely down there. Mother, I'll bring them to see you and kowtow to you and apologize."

"Imperial Concubine Yu, how dare you! Are you trying to rebel? " Some of the ministers began to roar and curse.

However, Chunyu Hong continued to sit in his chair. He held a cup of wine in his hand, and his face was so calm that not a single trace of it could be seen. It was as if everything that had happened here had nothing to do with him.

Everything looked too weird.

Zuo Chenfeng looked over and said to Jin Yu Lie beside him, "You're still not making your move?" Now Jin Yulai stood in the middle of the crowd, and he, who stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens, happened to be the living target of those imperial guards. " Imperial Concubine Yu seems to be bewitched, even the Emperor won't keep her, what are you waiting for? "

"Wait!" Jin Yulie's gaze never left Chunyu Hong. He once told him to leave Chunyu Hao and Imperial Concubine Yu's lives behind, but he never did so.

Since Chunyu Hao had injured Mu Yunji, he should die. But now that Imperial Concubine Yu had chosen to burn the jade, he had no other choice. However, he also wanted to know Chunyu Hong's truest thoughts. Even now, Chunyu Hong did not even glance at Imperial Concubine Yu! If he didn't completely look down on Imperial Concubine Yu's so-called rebellion, then there was only one possibility, and that was that he knew everything!

During the last family banquet, he had given himself a token to mobilize his troops, as well as an edict. Even without looking at it, Jin Yu Lie knew what was written in the edict.

However, under these circumstances, Chunyu Hong would not be unaware of this beforehand. This was because Eunuch Hao had never appeared at the banquet.

Eunuch Hao was Chunyu Hong's trusted confidant. He did not have to believe in anyone to have absolute trust in Eunuch Hao. His absence indicated that there was something hidden behind this matter that he did not know about.

Perhaps, until now, Chunyu Hong was still probing, from the moment he opened his mouth to kill that palace maid.

Therefore, without seeing Chunyu Hong's true state, Jin Yu Lie would never reveal his own strength.

While he was talking with Zuo Chenfeng, Imperial Concubine Yu suddenly smiled. In that instant, she looked like she was about to topple the country. When she was young, she had an unparalleled beauty, so naturally she was able to move Chunyu Hong's heart and then spoil him for thirty years!

As a result, Imperial Concubine Yu's family had become the Qin's new aristocrat!

Now that she was going to rebel, she had to rely solely on her own power. She couldn't help but appear somewhat weak. However, she first won over the Queen, then the Jin Clan's old power.

And there was also a force that her Yu Family couldn't afford to underestimate.

She no longer had a son. Even though the Yu Family feared her, they were powerless. It was impossible for her to inherit the throne, and the prestige of the Yu Family could thus be halted.

However, Imperial Concubine Yu wholeheartedly wanted to avenge her son!

The clan leader's mind wavered. He had other plans.

If he succeeded this time, then the Qin family would be turned upside down. Perhaps the Yu family would be able to become the supreme existence. If they failed, then they could put everything on Imperial Concubine Yu. After all, it was not the scene of a loss.

And now, under the meticulous planning of Imperial Concubine Yu, thirty thousand of them had infiltrated the hundred thousand imperial guards.

That was to say, the thirty thousand guards on duty surrounding the palace were all Imperial Concubine Yu's men. As for the nine gates of the imperial palace, they were all sealed up. No news could leak out, and no one could enter or leave.

It could be said that the palace was now in Imperial Concubine Yu's hands.

Imperial Concubine Yu stood at a high place as she looked down from above. When she saw the frightened looks on the faces of these people who were surrounded by soldiers, she felt that it was incredibly funny.

"Inverse? Haha, this world was originally acquired by a pure and honest family, why can't I obtain it? All my life, I have only one son, Chunyu Hao, one hope. You want to take him away from me in such a way! Don't even mention rebelling, I'm going to completely destroy this world! I'm going to use this world's people to die with my son! "Haha …"

She laughed hysterically, all her emotions were mixed in with her laughter!

There was grief, there was grief, there was also unwillingness, and there was also despair …

"How dare you!" Your Majesty is here, how dare you! Imperial Concubine Yu, His Majesty has never been unkind to you, but you actually completely lost your conscience and dared to do such things. Do you know your crimes? "

Even at this point, someone was still trying to put on a show by scolding Imperial Concubine Yu.

However, his berating had no effect at all.

Chunyu Hong didn't even raise his head, nor did he give Lady Yu a glance.

"Chunyu Hong!" Imperial Concubine Yu shouted hysterically. She once again hated him, but in the end, she was still this crazy.

With a single command, countless arrows were shot from all over the sky. Suddenly, the sounds of countless arrows being shot rang out.

Jin Yu Lie who was standing in the middle naturally became the target of the crowd, but those arrows were unable to approach him.

His powerful cultivation was released, forming a powerful protective layer around his body. If the rain of arrows were to shoot out, they would all be repelled.
