Chapter 154 - The Empress Dowager's Reprimand

The palace was in a state of chaos. Qin Luofei looked at the bloody pots of cloth passing by and could not help but feel her heart go soft. She quickly ordered someone to go ask Ling Wang to come over.

With maid rushing over to invite him, Ling Wang and the rest were already waiting at the door, not daring to leave without permission. Even the officials and officials were trembling in fear, if the emperor had anything to do, the imperial court would be shaken, and that would be a huge matter.

maid walked to Ling Wang's side and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Concubine Qin requests this."

Ling Wang was worried for his sister, but not the emperor's condition.

Just as Ling Wang entered the back hall, Qin Luofei saw her brother and immediately rushed over. Hugging Ling Wang, tears immediately flowed down, "Brother, will the emperor be alright?!"

"Don't worry little sister, nothing will happen to the emperor." Ling Wang comforted Qin Luofei. Seeing Qin Luofei crying so hard, it was rare to see her so weak.

The emperor really treated her little sister very well. He even protected her in that kind of situation. If it wasn't for the emperor risking his life to protect her, things wouldn't have gone this way.

"Empress Dowager, the empress dowager has arrived." There was a young eunuch singing outside the palace.

Just as everyone was about to go for the ceremony, they saw Empress Dowager and the empress dowager rushing to the rear hall.

The empress dowager turned to everyone with a stern voice. "Forget about it!" How is the Emperor? "

Qin Luofei wanted to speak, but was stopped by the Ling Wang. At this time, the emperor was also doing this because of his little sister's injuries. The empress dowager couldn't help but scold him, so it was better if he didn't stick his head out.

Qin Luofei naturally knew what her brother was thinking, but it was impossible for him to escape. The empress dowager didn't like her in the first place, so she might as well just treat her as a thorn in her side.

"Your majesty, your injuries are very severe. You barely managed to penetrate through with your sword." An imperial physician was trembling with fear.

The empress dowager saw that Emperor Yun's face was pale and his body was covered in blood. She swayed her body, but couldn't even stand properly.

"Why is it like this, ah! What were the guards by the emperor's side for? Even the emperor couldn't protect them, so what was the point of asking them? Men, cut down those useless guards for me. " Her Majesty roared.

Empress Dowager walked to Emperor Yun's side. Looking at Emperor Yun's expression, he seemed to be in a trance, as if he had understood something.

He immediately shook his head, feeling as if his power and influence were all gone.

"Imperial Mother, you can't." When Qin Luofei saw the empress dowager open her mouth to chop off all the guards, she quickly pleaded for mercy.

There were very few loyal people around Emperor Yun, if he were to kill all the guards around him, then who would protect him.

The moment she spoke, the empress dowager's eyes immediately fell on her body. She raised her hand and struck towards Qin Luofei. With a "pa" sound, blood flowed out of the corner of her lips.

"You actually dare to speak? If it wasn't to protect you, how would the emperor be injured? How did you confuse my son? If anything happens to the emperor, I'll have you accompany him in death." The empress dowager ignored her majesty and roared at Qin Luofei.

When the semi-conscious Emperor Yun heard the sound, and weakly opened his eyes, he saw Qin Luofei getting beaten up. Anxious, he struggled to move and said angrily, "Imperial Mother, don't blame her, it was my own will."

"You did it voluntarily. You actually dared to voluntarily take your life for a person. Are you crazy?" Her Majesty was getting more and more angry.

What did Emperor Yun want to say? Qin Luofei couldn't suppress the anger in her heart anymore. She said hatefully to the empress dowager, "Are you done yet? Have you forgotten everything after being the empress dowager for so many years?"

Qin Luofei waved her hand to tell the eunuchs behind her to back off. Seeing that the empress dowager's palace maids ignored her words, she said harshly, "All of you, get out. If you don't want to die, then."

"How dare you order my people. Do you not want to live?" When the empress dowager saw that Qin Luofei actually dared to speak to her in such a manner, she became even angrier. She raised her hand and waved it towards Qin Luofei, who caught it.

Qin Luofei glowered at the empress dowager and said hatefully, "If you don't want the emperor to die, then shut up." Then he roared at the imperial physicians, "What are you guys still standing around for? Hurry and treat the emperor! "

The empress dowager struggled to retract her hand from Qin Luofei's grasp, saying sternly, "Are you rebelling? You dare to grab This Dowager's hand?"

"I was afraid that Her Majesty had been Empress Dowager for too long and had forgotten everything. "The empress dowager should be smart enough to not see anything and still have time to settle the score with me. I'm afraid that the palace has already been surrounded by people and we've all become the meat of others. How are we supposed to protect the emperor now, not let you put on an act like the empress dowager?" These words, Qin Luofei simply roared in anger.

The empress dowager stared blankly at Qin Luofei, as if she was looking at someone she didn't recognize.

"Do you think he doesn't know that his own mother is not you, but Consort De? I don't know if the moral consort died in your hands, or if you wanted to poison him when he was little, or if you were really a heartless old woman. "He won't let you off at all. As long as he regains his throne, the first to die will be you, my empress dowager." Qin Luofei looked at the empress dowager. Was she still the same skilled woman from before? Could it be that if the empress dowager sat there for too long, she wouldn't know anything? High above, in charge of life and death, had she lost consciousness?

When the empress dowager heard Qin Luofei's words, her eyes showed fear. She couldn't believe it. "How did you know? No one will know. No one will know."

Qin Luofei was too lazy to bother with this woman who was gradually losing her intelligence, she only lightly said, "There's nothing wrong with the palace. Others might not know about it, you can rest assured! It really came to that day, when there was nothing left to do. I will arrange for you and the Emperor to be sent out of the palace. "

It was as if this was the first time the empress dowager had seen Qin Luofei as she mumbled, "I won't leave the palace. I won't leave the palace. I'm the empress dowager, I'm the empress dowager."

She turned her head and said with a sneer: "Up to you, I don't want to save you either. It's just that you are his mother, so I have to protect you, otherwise, I won't bother with you."

This time, the empress dowager didn't refute her, only looked dazedly at Qin Luofei.

When Ling Wang Lord heard Qin Luofei's words, he too was stunned for a moment. His little sister actually knew everything now. Indeed, the late emperor had already deployed his troops to surround the imperial palace. The current emperor had already lost his momentum.

Qin Luofei stood beside that person, watching how severely injured he was in order to save her.

Reaching out her hand and stroking his hair, she absolutely had to use all her strength to protect him.

Now, he only wished that he could get better as soon as possible.

"Men, tell all the princes to return to the palace, close the city gates, and do not allow anyone in the palace to go out, if not, kill without mercy, Ling Jian will personally take responsibility." Qin Luofei's gaze once again looked towards the Ling Wang, but she finally said, "Big Brother, you should also leave the palace!"

Ling Wang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Luofei, "Big Brother, the situation has already become like this, there's no need to drag you into it. Believe in little sister, I will take care of it."

Some young eunuchs had already received Qin Luofei's orders and left to announce the results.

All the princes and officials felt uneasy, and even the late emperor momentarily lost his judgement. He also did not want to stay in the palace any longer. In any case, seizing the throne was only a matter of time.

A few imperial doctors first cleaned up Emperor Yun's injuries and then bandaged them up before fearfully retreating to the side.

"All of you can leave now! Only Doctor Song is left. " Imperial Physician Song was an upright person, and one that Qin Luofei could be more at ease with.

Because Ling Jian went to help Qin Luofei with some matters, he was not at the palace at all. Only at this time did he hurried back.

"Your Majesty, how is she?" The relationship between Ling Jian and the Emperor Yun was one that could not be replaced by anyone. After all, he was a Death Soldier that the Emperor Yun had personally groomed.

Qin Luofei waved her hand to tell the other palace maids and eunuchs to withdraw. Only the Empress Dowager and the empress dowager opened their mouths to speak. "Ling Jian, how many Death Soldiers do you have left?"

Ling Jian glanced at the Emperor Yun lying on the bed, and said: "No more than fifty."

"That's enough. We have to hold on until the emperor wakes up, when we can act." Qin Luofei knew the methods of the late emperor, so escaping from his hands was not an easy task.

Ling Jian nodded.

"According to the list, kill them all!" Qin Luofei didn't want to commit any more sins, but as matters stood, she had no choice but to kill all of the spies of the late emperor and the State Grandmaster.

"Alright, I'll do it right away." Ling Jian left the palace, brought along the guards, and followed the list of names on the list, to kill.

The hearts of the people in the palace were thrown into disorder.

The empress dowager had initially been arrogant, but now she too had collapsed on the bed.

Qin Luofei calmly sat on the bed, sipping on her fragrant tea, her eyes filled with sharpness.

This time, she wouldn't let anyone bully her.

In addition to strengthening the palace's defenses, Qin Luofei also sent people to inform the troops outside the capital to surround the palace. They were stationed outside the palace to stand in confrontation with the late emperor's men.

Emperor Xian and the Imperial Advisor gazed at the Imperial Palace.

"I didn't expect her to have some tricks up her sleeve. After Seventh Brother was stabbed, she was able to clean up the mess and deploy her troops so quickly. I didn't see it at all." The corner of the Imperial Advisor's lips curled up into a smile.

Emperor Xian's eyes darkened. He sneered, "Perhaps, she will give us even more surprises."

"No matter what? This throne will always be yours, won't it? " The Imperial Advisor looked at the late emperor with a strange look in his eyes.

Emperor Xian walked into the battlefield and said, "Do you really believe that our matriarch is the same person?"

The Imperial Advisor followed behind the late emperor and only spoke after a long time. "It doesn't matter if it's the same person or not. They all died in the hands of that old woman. I won't let her off."

"I can't let you kill her. If that happens, the people in the world won't be satisfied with me. I can promise you that I'll imprison her in the Cold Palace forever. This is even more painful than killing her!" The late emperor similarly hated the empress dowager. He had always treated her as his own mother, but how had she treated him? She had seized his throne, and she had even wanted to kill him.

Nodding his head, the Imperial Advisor coldly spoke, "Don't worry. After obtaining the throne, you will continue to be your Emperor. I will return to the West Mountain and continue being my Imperial Advisor, protecting the lands to the west for you."
