The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 146 - Appointment of the new Queen Mother.
The old dayang retreated with his body bent while closing his lips, Suri's mother's eyes widened, and wanted to slap Counselor Ming but the woman easily caught Suri's mother's hand.
"sassy!!! how dare you tell a lie that no one should tell! I've heard that Your Majesty is just unconscious from exhaustion, and the palace healer says everything is fine, even the incident is still in the banquet hall," cried the Queen Mother.
Counselor Ming threw out the woman's hand, and smiled bitterly.
"it's not unconscious, but His Majesty the Emperor is asleep, and I'm pretty sure this is no ordinary sleep, because I've seen something like this, tomorrow morning His Majesty the Emperor will never wake up again, "Counsel Ming said.
The Empress Dowager closed her lips and took a few steps back and sat down on a bench, her mind becoming empty, and knew very well that Counsel Ming's remark never spoke nonsense.
"Tell the Counselor how to help the current Emperor?" ask the Queen Mother.
Counselor Ming looked at Zhi Yuan deeply, if only he still had the ability to read the future this might be avoided. but the woman also could not tell the truth if it was the deeds of an assassin of the Munzhi Clan commanded by the Clan ruler.
"If I had known how to wake the current Emperor, I would have done so already" Councillor Ming said.
Counselor Ming threw the Queen Mother's oversized clothes towards the woman who was still sitting frozen.
"There is no time to be silent, you better gather your confidants, order to defend the new Queen, we must be ready before there is a split in the direction of tomorrow's massacre" Ming said.
The Queen Mother seemed to be thinking hard,
"Is this the Queen?" ask the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty..if the ruler of the Jade palace wants the power of His Majesty the Emperor, our Huanlun mountain army will kill this entire imperial family easily, and seize him openly, we will kill the entire imperial family, there is no need for such a convoluted plan, Your Majesty himself knows how our ruler likes slaughter" said Counsel Ming.
The wedding night looked so festive, but some of the high people in the imperial palace were a disaster, the Emperor was still breathing but would not pass by tonight, and Suri's mother had everything prepared, she said, after presiding over the meeting, the woman walked into the Emperor's bedroom accompanied by several people who had a fixed key position in the place.
Everyone's face was so tense, dozens of court healers had already been deployed yet all the Emperor's organs looked perfectly normal, and at sunrise, all of the woman's Counsel's words came true, the statement said, the news of grief had spread throughout the Palace accompanied by shouts and cries.The symbols that showed the Emperor died were already in pairs, and the Great Hall became so hot, filled with terrible utterances.
Everyone was dressed in mourning clothes, the Queen Mother was sitting with her face upright, although looking so devastated due to the death of her son, not a single drop of tears was seen on her face, she said, but the look of angry eyes was clearly visible towards Zhou Lu Zi who had just occupied the position of Queen, considering all this due to the misfortune of the woman.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, this cannot be allowed, this is so real the death of His Majesty the Emperor due to marrying the current queen, we should punish the Queen" said a senior minister.
Zhou Lu Zi looked so calm, his clear eyes still staring at the entire minister without the slightest expression as well.
"Punish me? let's see if your abilities are as big as yours," Inner Zhou Lu Zi.
A minister who also looks like he took a step forward,
"Minister of defense, have you lost your logic, Your Majesty the Emperor himself desperately wants this marriage, if now something like this happens His Majesty the Emperor is to blame, after all there was no evidence of poison or violence in Her Majesty's body, so the Queen could not be prosecuted for any wrongdoing she had not committed, we all saw the queen doing absolutely nothing to the body of the late Emperor yesterday, and if you want to accuse someone of harming the Emperor, then we all have the opportunity to be suspects, including you minister of defense," said the minister.
"Aahhh." the minister of defense took several steps back in fear as he was also sitting near the Emperor at the time of the incident.
"That's enough!!! the Queen Mother said, with a face that looked so exhausted, and fed up with the quarrels of her ministers when her mood was so broken.
"aahhh, I'm so tired, minister of external affairs, I see you're so good at seeing this situation, so listen to my orders, gather some of your men, this death is so unnatural, you know, you know, you're so good at it, investigate the cause of His Majesty's death to the fullest, the minister of ritual prepares the funeral of His Majesty with the best, and from today the crown prince is appointed Emperor, and the Queen will occupy the position of Queen Mother," said Suri's mother again and everyone kneeled to accept the Suri's mother's decision.
