Chu Xuan fell to the ground in response, and the hall suddenly became chaotic.

Princess Huai'an cried and called her father, and the courtiers called her majesty in panic.

He Yunjie threw the knife and caught Chu Xuan before he fell to the ground.

At the same time, Chu Zhao also rushed forward, squatted down in front of Chu Xuan, and quickly sealed several of his acupuncture points.

It took the Queen Mother a few breaths to react, and she ran over calling Chu Xuan's name, with a cry in her voice.

He Pingchuan also had a look of shock on his face, and just as he was about to stand up, an arrow flew from the sky with great force and weight, and penetrated directly into his chest, pinning him to the dragon chair.

The officials were shocked and fled in all directions, leaving the palace in chaos.

"Brother!" Before the Queen Mother could reach the emperor, when she saw He Pingchuan being stabbed through the heart by an arrow, she let out a heart-rending cry, then turned around and ran towards him.

"Little sister..." He Pingchuan's eyes widened and he stretched out his hand to her. Before he could say "be careful", another feather arrow flew towards the Queen Mother's back.

The Queen Mother groaned, staggered forward, and knelt at He Pingchuan's feet.

"Brother!" She held He Pingchuan's knees, struggled to raise her upper body, and lay on his lap. The tip of the arrow came out from her chest, and blood flowed out from the tip of the arrow, quickly dyeing their clothes red. .

"Brother, what's wrong, what's wrong..." Her face was twisted in great pain, and she reached out to grab He Pingchuan's hand.

He Pingchuan wanted to pull her up, but was nailed to the dragon chair and unable to move.

The courtiers were all frightened and stood there in various postures, with shock and fear written on their faces.

The accident happened so quickly. Chu Zhao was busy saving Chu Xuan and had no idea what was happening.

He Yunjie also heard the Queen Mother calling her brother, so he turned around to look. When he saw his father was hit by an arrow, he was shocked and was about to get up and go over there. There was a sound of footsteps outside the palace door, and Feng Guanlan rushed forward with hundreds of Jinyu guards. Come in.

"Princess! Princess!"

There was chaos in the palace, but Feng Guanlan ignored it and called Chu Zhao loudly when he entered the door.

"I'm here!" Chu Zhao responded loudly, "Your Majesty is being assassinated, Feng Guanlan is here to protect you!"

When Feng Guanlan heard her voice, he breathed a sigh of relief and flew towards her.

In this flash of lightning, He Yunjie gave up seeing his father and the Queen Mother, grabbed Princess Huai'an and retreated to the back hall.

"Princess, how are you? Are you injured?" Feng Guanlan came to Chu Zhao and paid no attention to Chu Xuan who was lying on the ground dying, and looked Chu Zhao up and down nervously.

The Jinyu Guards immediately followed and protected the three of them.

"I'm fine." Chu Zhao said, "How is the situation outside?"

Feng Guanlan said: "All the soldiers and horses of the He family were killed. Several royal guards originally ordered by He Pingchuan have also surrendered. All the defenses in the imperial city have been replaced by our people. The palace gates on all sides are guarded by Jinyu guards. The situation has basically been stabilized, and the princess can relax."

"Okay, as long as you are here, I have nothing to worry about." Chu Zhao nodded slightly and looked towards He Pingchuan on the dragon throne, and his eyes widened in shock at the arrows on He Pingchuan and the Queen Mother.

"What's going on? Who shot the arrow?" she asked in surprise.

Feng Guanlan shook his head: "I don't know, they were already hit by arrows when I came in."

Chu Zhao immediately became vigilant, his sharp eyes scanning the noisy crowd in the hall.

"Where's He Yunjie?" Feng Guanlan asked.

Chu Zhao glanced around and realized that He Yunjie was missing.

Missing with him was Princess Huai'an.

"Quickly, go to the back hall to look for her. Princess Huai'an was also taken away by him." Chu Zhao said.

Feng Guanlan's expression turned stern, he stood up quickly and took half of the Jinyu Guards with him and ran to the back hall.

"Ancestor..." Chu Xuan grabbed Chu Zhao's sleeve and called her weakly.

Chu Zhao looked down and saw that his face had turned gray and he might let go at any time.

The hidden arrow not only hit his heart, but also quenched the poison. Even the Great Luo Immortal was unable to save his life.

Previously, she had always thought that her grandson was unsatisfactory, stupid, cowardly, and lustful, but now that he was about to die, and she couldn't save him, this feeling was so uncomfortable that it made her feel stuffy and make her eyes red uncontrollably. .

"Chu Xuan." She helped him up, let him lean in her arms, and said apologetically, "Chu Xuan, I'm sorry, our ancestors can't save you this time."

"I know..." Chu Xuan gasped weakly in her arms, "I know I won't survive, but... being able to die in the arms of my ancestor... this life is worth it..."

"Yes!" Chu Zhao smiled with red eyes, "Not everyone is lucky enough to die in the arms of our ancestors. You kid, try to be more angry in the next life and be a good person. Do you hear me? Otherwise, our ancestors will crawl out of the coffin to teach you a lesson. your."

Chu Xuan grinned, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, "I'm such a foolish king... I'm afraid I can't be a human anymore... Ancestor, please help me... ask my mother, she... why did she do this to me?"

Chu Zhao hugged him and looked up at the Queen Mother who was lying on He Pingchuan's lap.

The Queen Mother was dying, and the blood of the brother and sister stained the ground around the dragon chair red, and spread down the white marble stone steps.

She didn't know if she had no strength, but the Queen Mother never looked towards Chu Xuan. She only looked up at He Pingchuan's face and held his hand tightly with one hand.

Will this woman put her family first until the day she dies?

Could it be that in her mind, her son was just a tool to help her family get closer to the imperial power?

Chu Zhao did not ask her, but said to Chu Xuan: "Your mother said that she was wrong. She should not have favored He Yunjie and neglected your education. She said that you were actually a smart child and she failed to educate you well. , I didn’t give you enough care.”

Chu Xuan's consciousness was blurred, but when he heard this, tears suddenly flowed out.

"It's too late." He said, "It's too late to say anything now, ancestor, I'm leaving, I'm going to make her regret it for the rest of her life..."

He didn't know that the Queen Mother was hit by an arrow, and he wanted to punish his mother with his own death and make her regret her mistake.

Chu Zhao said: "Don't worry and go. The Queen Mother has already regretted it. She is crying!"

"Really, that's great..." Chu Xuan laughed until he coughed out a large mouthful of blood. The light in his eyes became darker and darker, like a candle that was about to burn out, "Old ancestor, in the next life , I still want to be your descendant..."

He closed his eyes, and the hand holding Chu Zhao's sleeve suddenly let go and fell to the ground.

"His Majesty!"

The officials who were paying close attention to what was going on here shouted in unison, and suddenly the hall was filled with cries.

When the Queen Mother heard the cry, she finally turned her head and looked over, as if it was only then that she remembered that she had a son.

"Xuan'er, what's wrong with Xuan'er..." she asked with difficulty.

The only answer she received was the whole hall crying and howling.

Chu Zhao slowly laid Chu Xuan flat on the ground, took off his red cloak and covered him, picked up the sword on the ground, and walked towards He Pingchuan step by step.

"Mr. He Ge, are you satisfied?"
