Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"That's a good idea." Gu Xu said. He learned this word from Gu Yue, but no one understood it at the moment.

He raised his hand again, and in the distance, someone was walking slowly towards him in the hall.

The queen's phoenix crown was not in disarray. Qin Baiting had just been buried, and she had not yet been crowned as the queen mother, so she was still the queen; she held a bright yellow imperial edict in her hand and quickly walked to the altar.

There were corpses everywhere. She looked a little sad, but not afraid at all.

"Empress!" When the ministers saw that the queen was still alive and well, they all burst into tears.

At a moment like this, she who is closest to the emperor is more convincing.

When King Yin saw the imperial edict in her hand, he felt something was wrong.

He felt like he was being stepped on - not by Gu Xu's blood-stained boots, but rather that he was turned into a stepping stone, being crushed while carrying others to the throne of the emperor!

"That's fake!" King Yin roared, "It's impossible. There's already a crown prince. How could my brother leave behind an imperial decree to succeed the throne? This is fake!!"

He found it hard to believe and had no idea who Gu Xu and the Queen would nominate to be the emperor.

How could she be willing if he wasn't the Queen's biological son?!

Wuhuo on the side squatted down, grabbed King Yin's hair, and slammed his face to the ground.

He smiled and said, "No noise is allowed when the imperial edict is being read. Please be quiet, Your Majesty."

The queen unfolded the imperial edict in her hand.

The ministers and relatives knelt down one after another. They still had some doubts in their hearts, would the queen help outsiders and hand over the Qin family's world to others?

They will never allow it!

The queen read, "I am a humble person, but I have been blessed by the heaven and trusted by the people. I have been on the throne for eight years. Crown Prince Qin Zhaoyue is my eldest son. He is talented, loyal, kind and filial. He was made the crown prince when I succeeded to the throne. He has been following the teachings of the classics and respecting the heaven and ancestors for several years. I am very pleased. He should have started the fortune of rejuvenation, passed down the legacy to future generations, and ensured the peace and prosperity of the people of Northern Qin. However, the situation is changing and the conspiracy is frequent. I suspect that the crown prince of the Eastern Palace is no longer my son, and the crown prince's life may be in danger. The thief deliberately set up a suspicious array, and I have not found the truth after exploring the mystery. For the sake of the country, I will choose another virtuous person to inherit the throne. I decree this."

The ministers were silent.

The queen continued, "I have seven sons. Some are young and ignorant, some are jealous of their bloodline, some are not virtuous, and some lack support. Among all my sons, I will select the virtuous and capable, and choose my eldest daughter Qin Zhaohong as the heir. If the heir is unfortunately in trouble, she will inherit the throne and carry on the ancestral temple."

"What?!" King Yin raised his head suddenly, his eyes bloodshot, and looked at the queen on the altar with difficulty.

The queen has slowly put down the imperial edict in her hand.

The old censor seemed to be in disbelief. He was supported by someone and came to the altar, holding the edict in his hands. The queen handed the imperial edict to him, and the ministers immediately broke through the encirclement and gathered forward.

"It's true. This is indeed the handwriting of the late emperor." someone said.

"There are no mistakes in the imperial seal." The court officials talked at once. They were people who often saw imperial edicts.

Someone was more professional. He held the imperial edict and examined it carefully, then smelled it and said, "The paper and ink used are all from the imperial study..."

But, Princess?

Qin Zhaohong?

The younger officials wanted to shout, they did not know the princess and did not support a woman ascending the throne, but they were stopped in time by the old officials around them.

The King of Yin was equally incredulous.

He had already guessed among the many princes, Qin Zhaoning, Qin Zhaochen, or the younger six or seven princes. He even guessed those distant princes, and even guessed that Gu Xu wanted to forge an imperial edict and say that he was a prince who was exiled to the people...

But Qin Zhaohong? !

He couldn't even remember what Qin Zhaohong looked like.

"This is impossible, a woman..." Qin Shu's eyes were bloodshot, and he struggled hard, but was punched on the head by Wu Huo again.

Blood was about to flow from the corners of his mouth.

The Queen said, "The late Emperor and I already knew that Zhaoyue might have met with an unexpected disaster. In order not to alert the enemy, we kept silent and only wanted to find Zhaoyue first, and then follow the clues to catch this faker."

She slowly shed tears: "I just can't believe... Qin Shu is so bold that he actually tried to assassinate Your Majesty in the East Palace! I can only take it step by step and contact Zhao Hong..."

She burst into tears.

Gu Xu said slowly, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has been working as the Crown Prince's right-hand man for three years. She was behind the Jiangnan Road corruption case, the Lingnan Road leprosy case, and the Yangzhou Port ship seizure case."

Censor Xue Duan came out.

"That's right. All the officials in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Works in the court are aware of this." He said, "I am not surprised that the late emperor thought about this... I am willing to follow Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess and inherit the ancestral temple!"

"I am willing to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Most of the officials among the ministers knelt down one after another.

"But where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Xue Duan asked.

Gu Xu said: "Soon."

King Yin was so dizzy and speechless after being beaten by Wuhuo.

At this point, no matter whether the imperial edict is true or false... everything is a foregone conclusion.

King Yin was defeated and the princes disappeared. Qin Zhaokong had the support of the Queen, Gu Xu and many officials in the court, so there was no obstacle to her succession to the throne.

Who dares to disrupt the situation at this time?

Anyone who can sit in this position is not a fool.

It’s not that there were no women who became emperors in the previous dynasty. In fact, because of the emperor’s hard work, the entire dynasty reached its peak.

Really fast.

In the square, seeing the bad situation, the cavalry of King Yin surrendered, discarded their armor and were tied to one side. Only the imperial guards led by Gu Xu and the Donglin Guards were left around.

There was a dense sound of horse hooves coming from outside Yingtian Gate.

A woman riding a golden horse, wearing golden armor, led the blood-stained Fengyang guards behind her and galloped towards the square. Half of her body was covered in blood, obviously having experienced a fierce battle.

The thick dark clouds did not bring any rain or dew. Instead, a ray of sunlight accompanied by colorful light penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the road ahead of Qin Zhaohong.

Xue Duan shouted: "Ah! Auspicious signs from heaven!"

All the ministers knelt on the ground.

Qin Zhaohong reined in his horse and stood still in the chaotic field.

She said loudly: "The rebels in Luoyang City have been wiped out! Everyone, your families are safe."

"Ah!" The courtiers became excited.

So Her Royal Highness the Princess went to rescue their wives and children?!

Qiqige and Meng'en were hiding at the end of the team and had not yet appeared. But King Yin saw these two Western Hu nobles who were "representing" the Western Hu king to negotiate with him, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The reinforcements from Xihu... turned out to be a scam!

The last hope was finally shattered.

Qin Zhaohong was still catching her breath as she looked at the unconscious King Yin on the altar, then looked at Gu Xu behind her with a faint smile on her face.

Gu Yue was also in the Fengyang Guards' formation. The two of them locked eyes for a while.

Qin Zhaohong smiled.

She won, and it was all over.

……

Imperial city, on top of the city wall.

Su Muying held a corner of the city wall tightly with both hands and looked down at the army below that was as densely packed as a colony of ants.

Someone was running towards him. He turned around and the expression on that face scared the subordinates of Lingfeng Pavilion.

Crazy, groggy eyes, disheveled hair.

Everyone could see that Su Muying had gone crazy.
