Sun Wenhao, who was guarding the manor, was shocked. He immediately called the old man’s aide over.
After seeing the old man’s miserable state, the aide’s expression changed drastically. “A backlash. The, the parasite worm is dead.”
Sun Wenhao’s expression changed drastically after hearing this because he knew well who the parasite worm was with. He immediately called a doctor to treat the old man.
As for him, he rushed to the capital.
At the same time, when the Emperor crushed the parasite worm, a dark-skinned man among the guards had his face darkened and quietly retreated from the crowd.
When King Rui, who was guarding the periphery, saw this, he immediately brought his men forward to stop him.
“What are you doing? I’m just going to the toilet.” The guard demanded unhappily.
“I don’t need to tell you the rules of the imperial guards. You should go back and explain it to Captain Xiao.” King Rui said in a deep voice.
The guard looked around and found that he was surrounded. Xiao Heng was also walking over unhappily.
The guard simply raised his knife and slashed his neck.
Seeing this, King Rui was shocked and quickly went forward to check. Unfortunately, the ruthless guard had no mercy, even to himself.
Xiao Heng saw this and said to King Rui, “When you return, remember to lead a team to raid his house.”
“Now, no one is allowed to leave their positions without permission. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy.”
“Yes, Captain.” King Rui replied and immediately brought his men back to their original positions.
Xiao Heng looked at the sky sheepishly and then walked to the back of the line.
At this moment, the Emperor had also recovered. He devoutly led everyone to kowtow three times to the Mother God, then left behind 10,000 taels of incense money before quickly rushing back to the capital with everyone.
However, he was still a step too late. At this time, the palace door had already closed, and the Empress and King Hui were already standing on the wall of the palace door.
The Marquis of Ding’an also ordered people to close the city gates.
For a moment, the streets were a mess. Everyone was frightened and ran home.
Seeing this, the Emperor raised his head and looked at the Empress and King Hui. “Are you sure you want to force an abdication?”
“Haha, what’s there to force?
“Now, the civil and military officials are in our hands, and the jade seal, too. As long as you die, the country will belong to my son.” After the Empress gloated, she waved her hand at the ready archers. “Shoot.”
“You are a traitor and will be punished by the heavens. Even if you get the throne, it will not be legitimate.” At the same time, the Empress Dowager shouted angrily.
“That’s between us, and it has nothing to do with you.” As the Empress said this, she personally snatched a bow and shot it at the Empress Dowager.
However, it was quickly deflected away by a guard’s sword.
Then, the other arrows rained down.
The guards were in a flurry. Although some were injured, they still protected the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
At the same time, the archers pause to redraw their bows.
When the Emperor and the others saw this, they immediately retreated to the shops at the side.
The Empress panicked and immediately ordered again, “Shoot, don’t stop!”
However, arrows were no longer effective. The Empress was so angry that she slapped the person beside her.
When King Hui saw this, he said, “Mother, calm down. We will just guard the palace gates. My two uncles are still outside, and they have brought a hundred people with them. There is nothing to be afraid of.”
“That’s true. Let’s just sit here and wait.” After the Empress finished speaking, she asked someone to bring two chairs over, and the mother and son sat down.
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor with a face full of self-blame. “Son, it’s mother who harmed you.”
The Emperor shook his head and patted his hand. However, he did not say anything and instead glanced at Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng nodded and then led the guards to get busy..
