Chapter 149 Qian Renxue's Performance

The sun had just risen, and Maria stood respectfully outside the palace, waiting for the emperor's call.

She is the emperor's most trusted maid. She brings him breakfast and cleaning supplies every day, and helps him change clothes and groom himself. She has deep respect and gratitude for the emperor, who turned her from a poor orphan into a distinguished palace maid.

But it was strange today. The emperor who usually summoned him early in the morning did not issue an order. Maria was a little worried. She wanted to knock on the door and ask about the Emperor's situation, but she did not dare to offend the Emperor.

She could only wait patiently, hoping that the Emperor had simply fallen asleep later than usual.

As the sun gradually rose, the guards outside the palace became increasingly nervous.

They knew that the Emperor was in poor health recently, suffering from insomnia and headaches. They also knew that the emperor had been under a lot of pressure recently. Those files and bad news always made him anxious and sleepless at night.

Maria decided to enter the palace to wake up the Emperor. Today's court meeting was too important, and His Majesty would not be able to delay the court meeting because he went to bed late.

The guards were a little embarrassed by Maria's request. Although they did not want to undermine their duties, they still opened the palace door out of loyalty to the emperor and trust in the maid Maria.

Everyone saw the emperor sleeping peacefully on the bed, breathing evenly but weakly. His face was pale and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked like he was having a nightmare, like he was being tortured.

The guard quickly summoned the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor walked to the emperor's bedside and gently felt the emperor's pulse with his fingers. His expression changed and he said, "Your Majesty has been poisoned!"

The loyal captain of the guard sealed the palace. He could not let the news spread. He knew that it would cause an uproar and even lead to civil strife and war. He could only wait for the arrival of His Highness the Crown Prince. He believed that His Highness the Crown Prince could handle this matter well, inherit the emperor's legacy, and protect the security of the country.

But he didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince was no longer the real Crown Prince, but Qian Renxue in disguise.

Qian Renxue walked through the guards and came to the bed. She looked at the emperor's miserable state, her eyes red and swollen.

She cried out in feigned grief: "Father! Father! How are you?"

The imperial doctor closed his eyes in pain and shook his head.

He said: "Your Highness, this poison is too weird. What we can do now is to continue the fire of life of the emperor, but we can only do so much. I am afraid that the emperor will never wake up again."

Qian Renxue roared: "Who is it! Who dares to poison my father! I will definitely cut him into pieces!"

The guards, maids, and doctors trembled under the prince's anger.

Qian Renxue turned her head and looked at the maid Maria standing aside.

She asked in an angry voice: "Maria, do you know something? What did you bring for father last night?"

The maid Maria was so frightened by the prince's gaze that she trembled all over. She hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Your Highness, last night I just sent the emperor a sleeping potion as usual. At that time, the emperor was still so majestic. He was in high spirits and even said a few words to me."

The captain of the guard also came over and said: "Your Highness, I can vouch for Maria. I personally tested the decoction last night and found no problems. And Maria is one of the emperor's most trusted maids. She has never I have never done anything to disgrace the Emperor.”

Qian Renxue frowned. She ordered the imperial doctor to check the decoction, and the imperial doctor took out a luxurious test tube decorated with gold and gemstones, which contained a colorless liquid. He poured a drop of liquid into the bowl and stepped back.

The liquid first changed from colorless to red, then to black, and finally a trace of green gas emerged.

The imperial doctor's face changed greatly and he said: "Your Highness, this is an extremely rare and precious poison. It is a toxin with animal properties that can corrode vitality. There is no such poison in the known records. The only way to judge What’s more, this creature should come from an extremely cold place.”

Qian Renxue glanced coldly at everyone in the palace. Her eyes were like sharp knives, making people afraid to look directly at them. She slowly stood up, walked to the emperor's bedside, and gently touched his forehead. Her voice was low and firm as she said:

"I have made a decision. The guards and maids on duty last night are important witnesses. No one can contact them without my warrant and coat of arms. Guards, take them to the tower and keep them under guard."

Qian Renxue glanced at everyone present, and each of these ministers was forced into silence by her aura.

"In addition, guards! Seal the palace, and no one is allowed in or out. Since you sneaked into the palace and poisoned it, there must be something wrong with the ministers who are familiar with the structure of the palace and the habits of my father. I want to search the rooms one by one. Everyone is there. To pass."

Qian Renxue watched coldly as the imperial guards and guards left the palace with sonorous steps. Her eyes were like eagles, sharp and deep. She turned around slowly, walked to the window, and looked down at the palace.

The imperial guards and guards filed out of the palace. The orders issued from the palace would be immediately spread throughout the palace. In this quarter of an hour, Qian Renxue had already completed the control of military power by using the loyalty of the imperial guards to the emperor. Next, as long as If everything goes well, Qian Renxue will have the throne.

She slowly stretched out her finger and pointed at the center of the palace. Her voice was low and firm as she said: "There is no room for filth and evil in the Tiandou Empire's palace! From today on, there are only my orders here!"

Inside the palace, the atmosphere has already dropped to freezing point. The originally bustling and noisy palace is now only silent and gloomy. The originally magnificent and splendid palace now only looks deserted and dim. The originally loyal and noble guards and maids can only be locked in their rooms, waiting for the summons of the guards.

Every time someone's name is called, a wave of panic will be set off here. They don't know if they will become the next victim, and they don't know if they can get out alive.

Every time a person who is judged to be innocent is released, those who are watching the door will let go of a little worry. They dare not be happy too early, they dare not let down their guard. They can only pray silently that the emperor can wake up soon and give them peace.

This is Qian Renxue's extreme pressure strategy. There are no spies in that palace, and there is no secret place in that palace that hides filth. No matter which force these filth comes from, they can become suspects of assassinating the king.

So far, several people who were doing dirty things in the palace have been caught, and several spies of other grand dukes have been caught. The big fish is about to be hooked.

Qian Renxue was waiting for good news, and she heard a wave of soul power fluctuations from a distance. It was obviously a master. Then there were several other soul power fluctuations. It was obviously the top combat power of the Tiandou Empire. The fluctuations only lasted for a short time and then subsided. I guess the matter has come to a conclusion.

Sure enough, the sound of the iron-clashing footsteps of the guards was heard outside the door soon.

"Your Highness, during the search, a hidden spy was found. Although the subordinates and the Lord of Worship tried their best to intercept him, the other party used the blood escape secret method to consume the origin to escape, and the Lord of Worship did not stop him. Fortunately, according to the Lord of Worship, the spy was a spirit cat spirit."

The guard brought the news and knelt on one knee to tell Qian Renxue everything.

Qian Renxue raised her head and looked at the guards and the Lord of Worship. Her eyes made people dare not look directly at her. She slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction where the spy disappeared.

"It turned out to be the work of the Xingluo Empire! They dared to poison my father!"

Qian Renxue said, raised the teacup on the table high, and then slammed it to the ground. The porcelain broke into countless pieces and the powder scattered on the ground.

Qian Renxue understood that she had successfully found an excuse to divert the conflict and put the target of hatred on the Xingluo Empire.

She believed that at this time, all the grand dukes, ministers, and generals would stand by her side and support her to inherit the throne and lead the country. She also believed that at this time, all the people would support her as the master and fight for revenge.

"Guards, guards, listen to the order! From today on, I want you to hunt down the spy with all your strength, and at all costs, you must capture him alive! I will interrogate him personally and let him feel the wrath of the empire."

The guards and the Lord of the Worship couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when they heard Qian Renxue's words.

Although they had already guessed in their hearts, the spirit cat spirit? It couldn't be clearer. They all knew that the Xingluo Empire was the biggest enemy of the Tiandou Empire. There had been hundreds of years of grievances and blood feuds between the two countries.

They couldn't believe that the Xingluo Empire dared to launch an assassination against the Tiandou Empire at this time. This would reignite the war. They didn't know how Qian Renxue would deal with this crisis.

"In addition, I want you to immediately notify all the grand dukes, ministers, and generals to come to the palace to see me immediately! I want to announce a major news to them under the witness of my father!"

"The Xingluo Empire has launched a war against us. We must unite and fight against foreign enemies together! Only I can lead our country and exercise sacred revenge!"
