“Yes, Third Aunt.” Zhou Ying quickly nodded.
“You’re quite early.” Mingyu walked over and said.
“Not really. I just followed the people of the palace. Wanning doesn’t have to come over, does she?” Zhou Ying asked.
“Yes, she’s a pregnant woman. She’s afraid of bumping into someone, so she won’t be asked to come over.
“However, Gu Chenglin will come over as in-laws.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Chenglin walked in with a young eunuch. However, the two of them were not on the same side of the hall, so Zhou Ying did not talk to him.
Soon, the people from the royal family came over one after another. The two did not dare to chat and just sat beside each other and mourned.
At this time, Zhou Ying also saw the Second Prince from King Xiaoyao’s family. The husband and wife both looked calm and spiritual.
It was said that they had been in the south. This time, they came back to congratulate the Emperor on his ascension. They did not expect to meet the retired Emperor’s death. Fortunately, the father and son saw each other for the last time.
Of course, Zhou Ying had also been keeping an eye on Guoguo with her divine sense. As soon as Guoguo made a fuss, she would send her a voice transmission.
When Guoguo heard her voice, other than looking around for her, she didn’t make any more noise.
Zhou Ying had a simple lunch in the palace at noon and went home in the afternoon.
The next day, with her experience, Zhou Ying arrived two hours late when no one picked her up.
On the third day, Zhou Ying got up early and rushed to the palace for the burial. Then, under the escort of all the officials and relatives, the coffin was lifted away.
Everyone only escorted the coffin about ten miles out of the Imperial City. The rest of the journey was taken care of by King Xian, his son, and the Seventh Prince. They escorted the coffin to the Imperial Mausoleum together with the Royal Guards.
However, everyone still kowtowed three times in the direction of the coffin.
When she returned, Zhou Ying, who had spread out her divine sense, found that a person on a tree not far away was aiming at the emperor with a bow and arrow. She was shocked and shouted, “There’s someone on the tree on the upper left.”
Everyone was stunned by her shouts. The guards immediately protected the Emperor.
The Emperor also reacted in time and quickly pulled out the dagger at his waist.
However, he was still a step too late. Just as Zhou Ying reminded them, the arrow in that person’s hand had already shot over.
Sun Miaoke, who was standing beside the Emperor, turned around and blocked the Emperor’s path. The arrow directly hit her shoulder.
The Emperor was shocked. He hugged her and shouted, “Get him! I want to see his corpse even if he’s dead!”
As soon as he finished speaking, other than the guards, the soldiers lined up on the street and also took action.
The person on the tree obviously had no intention of escaping. He wanted to take poison to commit suicide, but Zhou Ying’s spiritual sense attack struck him down.
Soon, he was subdued by Guard Chu. Guard Chu quickly searched his body and confirmed that there was no poison on his body before bringing him to the Emperor.
“King An, take him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and interrogate him personally.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he carried Sun Miaoke into the carriage and rushed to the palace.
When Guard Chu saw this, he directly threw the assassin at King An and quickly chased after the Emperor.
King An took the men and brought a team of soldiers with him. He rushed to the Ministry of Justice to interrogate the assassin.
When Grand Scholar Sun saw this, he also hurried to the Imperial Palace.
The rest of the officials were disbanded, and each clan sent a representative into the palace to wait for news of Sun Miaoke.
Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment before following them into the palace.
When they arrived outside the Phoenix Palace, Zhou Ying looked at the palace maids running back and forth. She walked to Gu Wanning, who was guarding outside the palace. She asked, “What’s the situation? Is it serious?”
“I’m not sure. I heard that the arrow was poisoned.” Gu Wanning replied in a solemn voice.
At the same time, she was a little frustrated. To be honest, Sun Miaoke was a virtuous and kind woman. It would be difficult to meet someone like her in the future.
Therefore, she did not want anything to happen to her..
