Chapter 562: Death of Yuan Dynasty
When Empress Dowager Yuan heard this, she felt her heart sink.
There was a bloody mark on her lower lip from being bitten, and there was endless resentment in her eyes.
She didn't kill Jiang Yutong and Jiang Shixu at all. She said that just because she was angry and wanted to test the Imperial Master.
Unexpectedly, at such a dangerous moment, he would actually abandon himself and Yuan Chao and run to find those two little bastards.
It would be a lie for Empress Dowager Yuan to say that she didn't feel uncomfortable.
She watched helplessly as the Imperial Master picked up a sword from the ground, then fought his way out of the hall, and carved out a bloody path for himself.
But unexpectedly, he rushed out and retreated back in a panic within a short time.
Empress Dowager Yuan was stunned. Only then did she notice that a group of people were rushing towards her with unstoppable force, raising a cloud of dust.
She recognized it instantly. These were the reinforcements sent by the four great families!
Empress Dowager Yuan was furious and quickly ordered Zhu Wei to lead people to resist.
Fortunately, she had just taken out the military token and sent people to find reinforcements. Both sides arrived at the palace at the same time and soon started fighting again.
Swords clashed, screams rang out, and the entire palace was filled with a bloody storm. A torrential rain of arrows flew in, and the smell of blood became stronger in the air.
The people from the four great families were simply blood-thirsty. Another family head was hit on the neck by a sword. Bright red blood gushed out, and the ground was covered in blood.
Qi Huaichuan was completely frightened. He clearly realized that the conflict between the four great families and Queen Dowager Yuan had reached a point where they would fight to the death.
Either they die or they die. Unless Queen Dowager Yuan dies, the battle will end completely.
Thinking of this, he made up his mind and shouted to the reinforcements from the four great families: "Whoever can kill Queen Mother Yuan will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of fertile land, and a promotion."
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. As soon as Qi Huaichuan said this, many guards rushed towards Empress Dowager Yuan without fearing their lives.
The secret guards protecting Empress Dowager Yuan immediately appeared and fought with them.
But there were too many people who wanted to kill Empress Dowager Yuan. How could just a few dozen secret guards stop them?
Empress Dowager Yuan was completely panicked. She wanted to leave, but found that she couldn't.
She took a step forward and was greeted by dozens of swords. She hurriedly took a few steps back.
The soldiers continued to chase her and launched a fierce attack on her.
Finally, after dozens of rounds of fighting, they actually found a flaw.
Several soldiers held back the secret guards nearby, while another soldier picked up a sword and stabbed it hard into Empress Dowager Yuan's chest.
Her face turned pale and it was too late for her to dodge, as the sword in front of her was less than a foot away.
"Go to hell!" Just as the sharp sword was about to pierce Empress Dowager Yuan's chest, at the critical moment, a thin white shadow suddenly appeared and stood in front of her without hesitation.
"Puchi!" The sound of the sharp sword penetrating into the flesh was heard, the young man groaned in pain, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
When Empress Dowager Yuan saw that the person standing in front of her was Yuan Chao, she felt a buzzing sensation in her head and was completely stunned.
The prince's white court robe was stained red with blood, and the young man's cold white face was stained with a few bloodstains. He glanced at Queen Dowager Yuan, his body softened and he fell down.
Empress Dowager Yuan's pupils trembled. She rushed forward like crazy and held the young man on the ground with trembling hands.
"Chao'er, Chao'er, wake up, don't scare your mother."
"Doctor, send someone to call the doctor."
She collapsed and screamed, big tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes, and she reached out and pressed her hands tightly on Yuan Chao's chest.
But it was no use, blood still flowed out of his blood hole.
They all knew that under the current circumstances, the imperial physician could not come.
Even if he could come, Yuan Chao was stabbed in the chest and there was no way he could make it in time.
Yuan Chao's pale lips trembled slightly, his eyelashes were slightly wet, and he looked at Empress Dowager Yuan weakly, and his voice was almost whispered.
"Mother, don't... don't waste your energy. I... I can't hold on any longer."
"You...you gave birth to me, I...I am grateful to you, but the life you gave me is not...not what I wanted."
"This... this life, I will return it to you, as a reward for your kindness in raising me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy's empty eyes suddenly closed and his hands dropped down.
"No, don't!" Empress Dowager Yuan's eyes were red with anger. She could no longer hold back and broke down in tears.
She hugged the boy tightly in her arms, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads from a broken string, and she called his name over and over again.
"Chao'er, Chao'er, why are you so stupid?"
"Wake up soon, please. If you don't want to be the crown prince, then don't do it. I will never force you to do it again. As long as you can open your eyes and look at me, I will agree to whatever you want..."
Queen Mother Yuan held Yuan Chao's body and said a lot of things, but the young man in her arms did not move.
The national teacher was also completely confused!
The scene of Yuan Chao being stabbed by the sword just now, and the disappointed look in the other party's eyes when he looked at him before falling to the ground, all reminded him that his son was very disappointed in him.
The Imperial Master's heart skipped a beat and he felt a suffocating pain. He covered his chest with his hands and for the first time began to reflect on whether he had really done something wrong.
Yuan Chao did not want to be the emperor, but they forced him to become the emperor for their own selfish desires.
I never considered whether he liked it or not, or whether he was willing to do it.
In the end, all the efforts were in vain and nothing was gained.
Yuan Chao’s death caught Empress Dowager Yuan more off guard than any previous incident.
She and the imperial teacher were on the verge of collapse. Heavy sorrow filled her heart and almost crushed her.
The Empress Dowager Yuan held Yuan Chao's corpse and sat there for a long time with empty eyes, like a walking corpse.
Until the shouting and killing sounds outside gradually died down, the rebels from the five major families were all killed by the swords of Empress Dowager Yuan's men, and the entire palace was littered with corpses and in ruins.
The other two family heads who were not killed were captured alive by Zhu Wei and imprisoned in the Sky Prison.
Empress Dowager Yuan hated them so much that she automatically attributed the death of the Yuan Dynasty to the four family heads.
She felt that if they had not rebelled and wanted to kill her, Yuan Chao would not have died to block the sword for her.
All these tragedies are closely related to the heads of the four major families.
Empress Dowager Yuan picked up Yuan Chao's body. The seventeen-year-old boy was still frighteningly light.
She carefully placed the corpse on the dragon throne, stood up, clenched her fists, and her eyes were filled with deep hatred.
"I have passed on my oral instructions. The heads of the four great families are plotting rebellion. They have led troops to attack the palace and sent people to assassinate me. I have tried to persuade them many times but to no avail. I am deeply distressed."
