Bang!
The hustle and bustle of the square were suppressed by the sound of this gunshot, and for a moment, not only did time seem to pause, but even sound vanished cleanly after the gunshot.
The next second, an Imperial Palace Guard rushed over and pressed the Emperor down, followed by a second.
The Emperor wanted to say "I'm fine" and jokingly tell them "I might be the first Emperor to be crushed to death," but for some reason, he couldn't speak and coughed twice.
Something came out of his throat in a cough. That comfortable feeling didn't last long; it seemed as if something was still stuck in his throat.
Time resumed, and the crowds in the square scattered and fled; even though the police and Imperial Palace Guards demanded they stop, they didn't stop!
The nobles were surrounded by the Imperial Palace Guards with the potential for conflicts to erupt at any moment.
