Chapter 43 This broken sword is really useless!
Two days later, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Inside the hall, incense smoke rises from the incense burner, filling the air with a delicate aroma. The surrounding walls are covered with gorgeous silks and precious calligraphy and paintings, highlighting the nobility and luxury of the royal family.

The civil and military officials were dressed in solemn court robes and lined up neatly according to their ranks. They wore black gauze hats, brocade robes embroidered with exquisite patterns, jade belts around their waists, and held tablets in their hands, looking solemn and expectant.

On this crucial day, a tense and solemn atmosphere permeated inside and outside the palace.

With the sound of a majestic bell, the adoption ceremony officially began. Chu Lu walked in wearing a dragon robe and sat on the throne.

The Minister of Rites held the golden imperial edict in his hand and read it out: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims..."

After the reading, the queen came in with a cold nun.

Originally, there should have been a ceremony of lighting incense and candles and offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors, but the queen was impatient, so many of the ritual processes were simplified.

The queen placed a letter of adoption in front of Chu Lu.

"Press your handprints, Your Majesty." The Queen said with a mocking smile, "After pressing your handprints, let her kowtow to you a few times. From now on, you will have a daughter."

Chu Lu looked at the adoption letter, which simply said that Xu Li Niang couldn't have children, so for the sake of peace in Dayan, she adopted a child from the clan. Although not a biological child, the child also enjoyed all rights.

He looked at the civil and military officials below.

Perhaps they felt that Chu Lu had no chance of turning things around, so they no longer cared about etiquette and all looked up at Chu Lu, with undisguised sarcasm, mockery and urgency in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, please press the button quickly. What are you wasting time on?" said the Queen.

So Chu Lu looked at the Queen again, and the latter had a similar expression, with the arrogance of a victor but also a hint of urgency.

He then looked at the adopted daughter, who lowered her head obediently, looking very innocent.

"Don't look around, Your Majesty, are you still hoping that someone will come to save you?" The Queen whispered, "Give up on that thought and just press it! Cooperate honestly and I can still spare your life."

Chu Lu withdrew his gaze and took the adoption letter.

"That's right." The Queen said, "Press your handprint."

At this moment, under the gaze of the queen, his adopted daughter, and all the civil and military officials, Chu Lu looked at the adoption letter, smiled slightly, and exerted force with both hands.

A tearing sound.

He tore the adoption letter in half!
The sound echoed in the silent palace.

The queen's eyes suddenly widened, and the adopted daughter subconsciously raised her head.

All the civil and military officials were stunned.

"What are you doing?" The next moment, the Queen's sharp voice rang out. She pointed at Chu Lu and said, "Xu Li Niang, what are you doing?!"

Chu Lu stood up from the throne and said expressionlessly, "Let's stop with the adoption. The Queen plotted to frame the Imperial Concubine, poisoned me, and seized power. She deserves to be punished. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and kill the Queen!"

The civil and military officials were in an uproar. No one expected Chu Lu to turn against them at this time.

The queen sneered in anger: "Ha! You're not pretending anymore, are you? I knew you wouldn't give up so easily!"

She took two steps back, drew out her imperial sword and said, "Luckily I brought the sword with me."

"Xu Li Niang!" The Queen called her by her name and said, "Do you see this? This is the imperial sword bestowed by the late Emperor. It can be used to kill tyrants and corrupt officials. Why don't you kneel down!"

Chu Lu looked at her posture, laughed out loud, and walked straight towards her.

The queen was startled and suppressed by Chu Lu's posture. She shouted angrily: "Why don't you stop! I had many concerns the last few times, so I didn't do it, but this time is different!"

"Oh? Then go ahead and do it." Chu Lu said. "I really want to chop it off!" the queen said angrily.

All the officials and adopted daughter present were watching this scene nervously.

That is the imperial sword!

There is no way Chu Lu wouldn’t be afraid!
However, to their surprise, Chu Lu did not flinch at all, and even shouted angrily: "Go ahead and chop!"

“Ahhhhhhh!” the queen screamed and chopped down.

Everyone was shocked and their eyes widened immediately.

The next scene shocked them all.

Chu Lu stretched out his hands and caught the imperial sword with his bare hands, then twisted and pulled with his hands to take the sword away.

Then Chu Lu exerted force with his eagle-claw-like hands, and with a few crisp sounds, the imperial sword was broken.

The queen was so frightened when she saw this that she sat on the ground. She stretched out her trembling right hand and pointed at Chu Lu and said, "That, that is the imperial sword bestowed by the late emperor! You actually, you actually... Aren't you afraid that the late emperor will die with regrets?!"

"There's something I've wanted to complain about for a long time." Chu Lu shouted as if to vent, "Isn't the late emperor my mother? If my mother saw you holding her sword and trying to kill her daughter, she would die with her eyes open, okay?! How dare you threaten me with her name?!"

"Eh?" The queen was stunned, her face full of confusion, as if a poor student was looking at advanced mathematics.

But then she reacted and said, "That's enough! Don't think you've won just because you lost the Imperial Sword! I'll take care of the adoption ceremony today. I have civil and military officials, and I have the support..."

Puff.

The cold nun fell to the ground and died with her eyes wide open and her hands covering her neck.

The queen was so frightened by this scene that she froze and even forgot what to say next.

"I understand what you mean." Chu Lu said slowly, "You have the support of civil and military officials, and you have a suitable woman to keep, so you think you have a sure win, right? But it doesn't matter, I have already thought of a countermeasure."

He turned sideways to look at the official in front of him and said, "Wouldn't it be better to kill them all?"

All the civil and military officials turned pale.

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha!" The queen was stunned at first when looking at the corpse of the cold nun, and then gradually began to laugh wildly.

"Crazy! Crazy! I think you are crazy!" The Queen shouted, "You are alone and you think you can kill us all? What a sweet dream! Imperial Guards! Where are the Imperial Guards? Come here quickly!"

Suddenly, a burst of orderly footsteps sounded, and a black crowd poured in from outside the palace. It was a group of fully armed soldiers.

"See?" The queen stood up, her face grim with anger at losing her new favorite. "I have the Royal Guards in my hands! Who can you kill with a sword? You are just a clown!"

At this time, the Imperial Guards had split up, with one group blocking the exit and the other group passing through the civil and military officials and coming up to the two men.

"Just watch!" The queen smiled triumphantly, and then shouted at the soldiers, "Attention, soldiers! The emperor has hysteria and has gone completely crazy. You don't have to worry about anything. Cut her... into pieces with your swords!"

The last four words were spoken with gnashing teeth.

The leading general approached Chu Lu and suddenly knelt on one knee.

The queen was stunned when she saw this, and then she shouted angrily: "Why are you kneeling to her? Kill her now!"

The general did not react, but simply took off his helmet.

Su Muyun said in a deep voice: "I have fulfilled my mission and completed the task entrusted by your majesty. The Imperial Guards are now in your majesty's hands!"
