0621 The first year of the Apocalypse

"Ah......h

A terrible scream resounded through the East Palace, the queen and other women walked out in surprise, and suddenly saw a little eunuch lying at the door of the backyard, followed by a "whoosh" sound, a big hand jerked him away, and then there was a scream, and blood splashed out.

"Oh no! there's an assassin, get out of ......"

Ye Ruoqing hurriedly protected the queen and Yongning, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were pot-bellied mothers-in-law, but before they could turn around, a figure suddenly jumped across the backyard, like a big toad, and threw an escaped palace maid to the ground.

"Father's !!"

The crown prince stared at him in shock, only to see that Emperor Yongji's dragon robe was stained with blood, and his cloak was lying on the little palace maid and biting, and a large piece of meat was also bitten off his cheek, and when he suddenly raised his head and swallowed the minced meat, his eyes had already turned black.

"Corpse man! his corpse has changed ......"

Yongning screamed in surprise and ran away, several women were frightened, but the prince was anxious to shout his father in place, and the queen hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Guan'er! Run, your father has become a corpse, don't let him touch you!"

"Roar~"

Suddenly!

There was a roar in the courtyard gate, and the little eunuch who had just been dragged away actually walked out, twisted like a runaway puppet, and there were two palace maids and eunuchs, rushing out from the side with teeth and claws, scrambling to rush towards the prince.

"Run!"

Ye Ruoqing rushed back and dragged the prince and ran, who knew that as soon as he ran to the gate of the courtyard, he heard a "bang", Yongning actually broke the amniotic water at this time, and collapsed on the courtyard door and said in horror: "I, I'm going to give birth, what should I do, what should I do?"

"Close the door!"

The prince rushed over and hugged her horizontally, and rushed out in a hurry, the queen sisters picked up the hospital door left and right, and slammed the door of the East Palace shut, and several corpses crashed into the gate one after another, knocking the two gates.

"Help, let us out......"

The rest of the palace maids cried in the East Palace, but the prince and the others didn't care a lot, Ye Ruoqing also hugged the queen horizontally, and fled outside the corridor with no life.

"Come on, come on, come on......"

Several women were desperately shouting, the guards had already heard the screams, and rushed over to a group of people without shouting a few times, and the prince shouted with a white face: "There are corpses in the East Palace, you go and cut off their heads, beware of biting!"

"Corpses?"

The guards were all startled, and they didn't understand how the corpse plague could appear in the palace, but the screaming East Palace confirmed everything, they hurriedly sent people to call for reinforcements, and more than a dozen people rushed to the door of the East Palace, and viscous blood had flowed out of the crack in the door.

"Shoot them to death with an arrow......"

A guard hurriedly stuck a knife into the door knocker, and when he heard the sound, he knew that there were as many as a dozen corpses, but fortunately, the reaction speed of the Ouchi guards was very fast, and soon a large group of people rushed over, climbed the courtyard wall of the East Palace with a human ladder, and shot the corpses in the courtyard with a bow and crossbow.

"Ah!!h

Suddenly!

One of the guards was dragged down violently, and the others also jumped over the wall in fright, and more than ten people fell down in one fell head, and the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, who jumped so high, and the inner guard can't do martial arts?"

"The emperor, the emperor is inside, the corpse, the corpse has changed......"

A dragon guard crawled up with a pale face, and the faces of the two deputy commanders also changed in unison, and after glancing at each other, they hurriedly shouted: "Quickly call Lord Luo to come over and make a decision, and then use the flying claws to tie up the emperor, don't let him come out, go quickly!"

"Yes!"

The guards hurriedly split up, and the two deputy commanders climbed the courtyard wall in person, and saw that the dragon guards who had just fallen were also corpsed, and one of their arms was torn off, but they still raised their heads and roared, and Emperor Yongji, who had a three-grade cultivation, jumped up violently.

"Bang~"

Emperor Yongji was slapped back with a knife on the back, and the dragon guards who changed the corpse were also quickly shot, and soon only Emperor Yongji was killed in the East Palace, and the dragon guards were like whack-a-mole, jumping up and knocking it down, but no one dared to kill the emperor, and no one dared to bear the crime of killing the king.

"Quick! Throw the claws ......"

The dragon guard is also a master of the second grade, more than a dozen people threw flying claws on the wall, directly trapped Emperor Yongji in the center of the rope, and then jumped down and tied it into a big zongzi, and directly hung Emperor Yongji on the beam in front of the house.

"What's going on, where did the corpses come from......

Luo Tan and Qiu Ning finally arrived, and a deputy commander hurriedly jumped down and said, "I don't know! The eldest emperor Ji has become like this not long after entering the palace, only she has been an outsider who has come in, and the emperor has also changed his corpse inside, how can this be good?"

"Hurry up and shut up, don't spread this matter to the outside ......"

Luo Tan hurriedly stepped on the ladder and jumped onto the wall, the dragon guards all ran out, more than a dozen corpses were piled up at the gate of the courtyard, only Emperor Yongji hung on the beam, struggling with his head, and kept roaring like a madman.

"It's too bad now, the Red Feather Army has to come in when they learn about it......"

Luo Tan jumped down with a blue face, and ordered: "Hurry up and tie up the emperor with an iron chain, the rope can't trap it for long, the corpse will be burned in the backyard, not a drop of corpse oil can leak out, the wellhead is also sealed, wear a mask to find the source of the corpse poison!"

"Luo Tan, you are sitting here, I'll go find Ye Ruoqing......"

Qiu Ning hurriedly ran to the harem, Luo Tan was Zhao Guanren's first concubine, and he had followed him since the corpse plague in Lantai County, Luo Tan naturally knew how to deal with corpse poison.

"Queen Mother, where is Ye Ruoqing......"

Qiu Ning rushed into the queen's bedroom with the female guards, the queen sisters had already changed their clothes and were wiping their hands with alcohol, the queen heard the words and hurriedly said: "Yongning was born prematurely, she brought Wen Po to help in the house, do you also suspect her?"

"It's not that she can have anyone, only she is an outsider who has entered the palace......"

Qiu Ning walked into the house murderously, Ye Ruoqing happened to walk out side by side with the prince, Ye Ruoqing said angrily: "Fart! Will I frame my own eldest brother, besides, I was also in the East Palace just now, if I didn't run fast, I was bitten!"

"You must have let people take advantage of ......"

Qiu Ning stepped forward and glared and said: "You have been imprisoned by Yuan Lao Er for more than a month, and all his subordinates have been imprisoned by him, do you dare to say that no one betrayed you during this period, besides, Yuan Lao Er hates you to the core, and makes some corpse poison for them to throw into the palace, isn't it strange?"

"Are you brainless to me......"

Ye Ruoqing pointed to the two female guards and the two palace maids, and said: "These four are the people I left in the harem, and they have become your people, none of the people who went out of Beijing with me entered the palace, and the ministry was waiting outside the palace, could it be that they could still get in?"

"Auntie, could it be that there is a problem with the gift you brought......"

The prince frowned and said: "The corpse poison must have come out of the backyard, and after my father came in, he said that he would go to the study to wait for his aunt, but it turned out that something happened after half a cup of tea, and some of the gifts were sent to the backyard, and it is likely that someone hid the corpse poison in the gift box!"

"This ......"

Ye Ruoqing bit her lip and couldn't speak, but a palace maid said again: "We have checked the gifts, but some are candied fruits and shortbreads, we can't break them up and check them, it is estimated that there are girls who are greedy and poisoned after eating candied fruits!"

"Take the gift and burn it, don't keep ...... of it"

The queen hurriedly shouted, but Qiu Ning said again: "Ye Ruoqing, from now on, you can't leave the harem for half a step, your brother has been captured alive, but we can't kill it, otherwise Ye Yunchen will have an excuse to come in and kill all of us for the crime of killing the king!"

"I can't hide this for long......"

The queen subconsciously stood up and said, "Let's let Guan'er ascend the throne immediately, send him a holy decree, and order him to continue to fight abroad, will he dare to attack the palace?"

"Empress, it's even more troublesome to ascend the throne......"

Qiu Ning said: "If Ye Yunchen wants to enter the palace to mourn, you can't keep him out of the palace, but once he enters the palace, no one can stop him when the prince is not there, and then he forces the crown prince to give up the throne, and we all have to be put under house arrest by him, or force us to commit suicide!"

"No! there's another way to ......."

Ye Ruoqing said with blazing eyes: "The Red Feather Army is led by my sixth brother and third uncle, both of them and I are very disgusted with Ye Yunchen poisoning the people, let's just say that after the emperor learned about this, he was ashamed and hanged himself, as long as we can get their support, we can let Guan'er ascend the throne!"

"You ......"

Qiu Ning looked at her in disbelief.

"I am the Ye family, but I am first and foremost a person, not a brute......

Ye Ruoqing puffed up his chest and said: "I'll tell you the truth, Brother Xuan fought in Rongma County, I helped him a lot, he promised to restore the marriage contract between the two of us, Zheng Yijian can testify for me, if you believe me, let me go out of the city to find my sixth brother and them!"

"I can let you out ......"

Qiu Ning said: "But I'm afraid that you didn't do it, but instead revealed the news, your third uncle is a drunkard and a meat man!"

"You're wrong! My third uncle is a lover, and I'm sure I'm sure to convince them ......."

Ye Ruoqing said seriously: "After Guan'er ascended the throne, he issued a holy decree, if he does not recognize Ye Yunchen's identity, he will become the target of public criticism, let's put the blame on him, let Brother Xuan and the Yuan family join forces to exterminate him, and our Ji Kingdom will not be in chaos anymore!"

"Yes, we can't help ...... abuse."

The crown prince suddenly said loudly: "The safety of the people of Li is far more important than the throne of our family, not to mention that King Zhao has always loved the people like a son, Jiangzhong is now in a mess, only he is still building epidemic prevention fortifications, he has never coveted my good fortune, this palace absolutely believes in his character!"

"Oh, the prince, great joy, great joy......"

A servant woman ran out of the back hall and said happily: "The mother and son are safe, and they also gave birth to a pair of twin sons, two big fat sons, what a double happiness!"

"Great! I have a son, two sons ......"

The prince was excited to rush into the house, and the women hurriedly pulled him back, but the prince hurriedly asked: "Queen Mother, can the child abolish the princess now and change the title of Yongning to the main concubine, she gave birth to a pair of twins for our family, and the hard work is high!"

"Silly boy, you are the emperor now, she is the queen, and she is the queen mother......"

The queen poked him very narrowly, it looked like her husband who had just died, and the prince also left his father behind, only Ye Ruoqing wiped her tears and said: "Actually, it's good that the royal brother is gone, he has lived too hard in this life, this is really a relief for him!"

"Wait!"

Qiu Ning suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked: "It is not yet the New Year, and the new era name has not yet been activated, if the crown prince ascends the throne, can Yongji's era name still be used?"

"Of course not! If Guan'er ascends the throne immediately, it will be ...... next year."

The queen mother was stunned before she finished speaking, and suddenly covered her mouth in horror, Ye Ruoqing and the other women were also shocked, and even the prince said with a chill all over her body: "......The first year of the Apocalypse! How did it come so quickly?"
