Chapter 474 Let Him Be Shot Into a Sieve
"Put down your weapons, or I'll cut this old man's neck with one blow!"
A man dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Guards held a sword tightly in one hand and held the Empress Dowager tightly in front of him with the other hand.
As he shouted, the sword was already firmly placed across the Queen Mother's neck.
Beside him stood nearly twenty people, all dressed as royal guards.
At this time, each of these people held a long sword in their hands and stood by indifferently.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the palace and assassinate someone?"
Qi Siyuan waved his hands at his men, asking them to step back. Then he looked at the leader and shouted coldly:
"If you release him now, I can show leniency and let you live. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The hall was surrounded by people he had arranged, and a tight net had been set up long ago, just waiting for these people to appear.
"Haha... Look at you, you guys keep saying you're filial, but in fact, she's not your own grandmother, so how can you take her seriously..."
The leading man sneered, and his sallow face looked quite ferocious.
"Old woman, I think you should wake up soon. You took such good care of him. In the past, you worked so hard to push him to the throne. Now look, he must have been hoping for your death for a long time..."
While he spoke in a sarcastic tone, he strangled the empress dowager even tighter.
"Yuan'er, you...really don't take grandma's life seriously as he said?"
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes as she was strangled by him. She waved her hands and feet and struggled desperately for a few times before she finally squeezed out a word from her throat.
As she said this, two lines of tears slowly flowed down her face.
"Forget it, forget it. I have lived for so many years. Now I am just staying in the palace and eating white rice... It is better... It is better to die..."
Her tone was sad and tears couldn't stop falling.
If this were the case in the past, Qi Siyuan would definitely be a little moved.
After all, when he was young, this woman treated him very well in order to please the emperor.
She has been very tactful over the years and basically does not get involved in major palace affairs.
Even if there are any problems, they will seek the emperor's opinion before taking any action.
Just like this time when she arranged the marriage between Yuxiu and the Luo family, as the Empress Dowager, she had every right to do so.
As long as the imperial decree is issued, the matter will be settled unless the emperor stands up to confront her head-on.
However, the emperor could not do whatever he wanted. He had to establish a good image. It was impossible for him to contradict his mother for the sake of an outsider.
Even if she is not his biological mother, it is not acceptable.
If that really happens, not only will I be reported to the censors, but the common people may also follow suit.
But they didn't. The emperor hadn't said no yet, but just said he would consider it later. So they immediately laughed it off and tried to smooth it over.
Anyway, no matter what happens in private, on the surface they are a loving mother and a filial son, and they are very harmonious.
At first, when Qi Siyuan was following the clues to investigate those things, he was somewhat suspicious whether his subordinates had made a mistake.
Later, after verifying the paternity of the child, I had to believe this fact.
"Don't worry, Grandmother. This guy doesn't dare to attack. Archers have been deployed everywhere. If he dares to hurt you, I will shoot him into holes..."
Qi Siyuan concealed his emotions and said in a gentle and soothing voice:
"You have worked hard to help my father and me over the years. Everyone has seen and remembered your contributions. How could they watch you get into trouble?"
"Okay... okay, dear grandson, grandma was not wrong about you, you are a good child..."
The Empress Dowager wiped away her tears and smiled with relief.
"Bah! Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way. I'm not in the palace for a big deal today. I just want to see what the imperial study looks like. If you let us in, I'll let this old woman go immediately!"
The leading man rolled his eyes and acted as if he didn't care.
I didn't expect that today's good arrangements would be messed up by this kid in front of me.
"The Imperial Study is where Father works. How can you just come in and look at it?"
Qi Siyuan rolled his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile:
"Besides, if anyone could go in and see it, even if there were many people in the palace, they wouldn't be able to handle it."
It's easy to say, and you don't need to think about it with your stupid brain.
Sure enough, my investigation was correct. Although this guy has good fighting skills, he is a little bit stupid.
"What cats and dogs? I am..."
The man looked furious and almost blurted out something.
"My dear grandson, he, he said he wanted to go in and take a look. Why don't you let him take a look? Grandma's legs are almost unable to stand..."
Seeing that the man was about to lose control of his emotions, the Queen Mother quickly shouted:
"There are so many people gathered here. Even if he wanted to take something away, it would be impossible."
What a joke, from beginning to end, they didn't even think about taking anything away.
Qi Siyuan didn't say anything. He glanced coldly at the person opposite him and almost couldn't help laughing.
You old woman, I asked you to enjoy acting, but now you must be tired, right?
The Empress Dowager was small in stature, and the man was extremely tall and strong. He was holding her neck and standing there, so that the Empress Dowager's toes were almost not touching the ground.
In order to act more realistically, the man couldn't deliberately let himself go. It's not like what the Queen Mother said herself, that her legs were almost unable to stand. She really couldn't stand.
Qi Siyuan didn't say anything, but just slowly rubbed a dark cylinder in his hand.
Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so it would be better to strangle the man to death, so that he would not have to do it himself.
"You always boast about your own morality, but now you see your grandmother suffering and you refuse to agree to even the smallest request. You are just seeking fame and reputation..."
The man looked at Qi Siyuan with some sarcasm, and the anger in his eyes was about to turn into fire and burst out.
As a member of the royal family, why is the person in front of me so lucky?
Since birth, he has been the heir to the royal family, destined to enjoy endless wealth, power, beauty, power and prestige throughout his life...
And what about yourself?
Not only did he have to practice martial arts since he was young, but even his father, who had been wholeheartedly planning for him, met with a tragic accident.
Overnight, I was the only one left in the world, and naturally I had to inherit my father's last wish.
"Grandmother, he doesn't want to save you, so I'll do it for you!"
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a loud shout came from outside the crowd.
