Chapter 719: 335 Tricked her (two updates)

Everyone, including the emperor, was utterly stunned by the scene unfolding before their eyes.

Just a moment ago, the Empress Dowager Jing, who seemed so sickly that she might collapse at the slightest breeze, had suddenly, with her bare hands, caught a dart aimed at her life.

This... this was way too shocking!

Everyone was so overwhelmed by the surprise that no one spoke for a long time.

Logically, since a hidden weapon had been fired from the box that Marquis Xuanping personally handed to Empress Dowager Jing, he should have immediately been accused of attempting to assassinate her. However, the fact that Empress Dowager Jing had caught the dart with her bare hands had so drastically contradicted everyone's understanding that no one thought of Marquis Xuanping at all.

Well, even Marquis Xuanping himself had completely forgotten about his own existence.

"Mother, Mother Empress..."

The Emperor stuttered out a sound.
