Chapter 1120: Scarlet Twilight (8)
The sun had set, and the clouds in the western sky were burning like flames, illuminating the sky and the ground red. Where heaven and earth meet, it is like a crater that erupts flames, erupting flames between the sky.
This is a fire cloud, as the name suggests, like a fire burning clouds. At this moment, the Great Zhou Palace is also in full swing.
In the Shoukang Palace, Guo Xu and the guards had already arrived. The noisy shouting alarmed the people of the temple. One of the chamberlains rushed to the front of the temple and shouted, "Who is making a noise here? The Queen Mother was about to rest, and she alarmed the Queen Mother, and you all have to cut off your heads? Hey? How did you guards get here? What a guts! ”
Guo Xu appeared from the crowd, stepped forward with a sneer, and said, "Did you disturb the Queen Mother's rest?" Then we have sinned greatly. You can arrest us and go to the Queen Mother. ”
The waiter looked at Guo Xu carrying the long sword and was covered in blood, and he already felt bad in his heart, so he left without saying a word. Guo Xu scolded angrily and flew up, kicked him over, and with a wave of his long sword, he rolled away the bones of the head of the waiter.
Amid the screams of several palace maids and chamberlains next to him, the massacre began. A group of people killed from the front hall all the way back, and all the palace maids and chamberlains they encountered were killed. Frightened screams and terrible screams resounded throughout the temple, spreading from the front hall to the spring pavilion of the back hall.
The Empress Dowager Wei was lying on the cold floor after dinner, closing her eyes and preparing to rest, and several palace maids next to the collapse knocked her legs, feet, muscles and bones for her to relieve the pain in her body. The screams outside came faintly, and the palace maids beside them really looked at each other in astonishment, and the old queen mother also heard the shouts in a daze.
"What's going on? Who's shouting? Go and see who is so unruly, fined with ten lashes, and not allowed to eat for three days, to see if she still has the strength to scream. The old queen mother said a little angrily.
"Yes!" A palace maid got up and went out of the inner room to the outer room, the footsteps outside were mixed, the screams continued, the palace maid came to the door and lifted the bamboo curtain and stepped forward, and suddenly a thing fell to the door with a pop, which frightened her, she looked down and suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream. Lying in front of the door was the corpse of a dead palace maid, facing the sky on her back, her eyes wide open, and her expression sad. A huge wound between the chest and abdomen was gushing blood.
The next moment, a large crowd rushed to the door. One person stepped forward and pressed a long sword against the neck of the palace maid who was already frightened in a daze, and shouted: "What about the Queen Mother? Can it be inside? ”
The palace maid looked at the hideous and distorted bloodstained face in front of her, her mind was drowsy, and she nodded mechanically.
"That's good." Guo Xu sneered, and as soon as he sent his hand, the long sword pierced the throat of the palace maid, kicking open the corpse that was still spurting blood, and opened the curtain and entered.
"Queen Mother! Dowager! Grandson Guo Xu is here to greet you. Guo Xu shouted loudly. Empress Dowager Wei, who had already been startled in the inner room, was at a loss for what to do, and saw Guo Xu rushing in.
"Guo Xu, what are you doing? It's a mess out there, what's going on? You...... How did you become like this? What are you all about? Why do you carry a sword? Empress Dowager Wei asked in astonishment.
Guo Xu laughed and said, "The old lady, did you disturb you?" What a sin it is for a grandson. But it's not to blame grandchildren, these people in your Shoukang Palace don't understand the rules and are not loyal enough. I like to shout before I die,
Ignoring the Queen Mother, your old man is resting. They should have shut up and be killed, so they can't blame their grandchildren. ”
"You...... What did you say? Why can't the mourning family understand? What a dead or alive. Empress Dowager Wei frowned.
Guo Xu said coldly: "Then the grandson said simply, the grandson is leading people to kill the eunuchs and palace maids in your palace." The front hall has been killed here, and dozens of them have been killed. Now all that's left is the Queen Mother, and these few in your house. ”
Empress Dowager Wei was stunned: "You...... You...... Crazy? You...... What are you doing? Guo Xu...... You are so bold, your father will kill you. ”
Guo Xu sneered: "You still use your father to suppress me, grandmother, you have scared me since I was a child, and you have complained to my father at every turn, and let my father suppress me." You've never seen me. I came to you with Guo Mian to say goodbye, he sits, and I stand. He ate bird's nest soup, and I didn't even have a sip of water. Hey, I didn't understand it before, but now I do. Don't you just hate me? Don't you want my father to appreciate me? You also interfered with the prince's affairs, and said bad things about me in front of my father every day. Okay, you've achieved your goal, the imperial brother has become the crown prince, are you satisfied? But so what? I'm telling you, no one can stop me and stop what I want. No one! If you don't give it, I'll rob it. Guo Mian was killed by me, and my father was controlled by me. Everything is up for naught with you. Grandmother, you've lived too long, you're old and confused, why are you still alive? It's just a waste of food. Grandmother, grandchildren will give you a ride? Then all the people of your Wei family will also raid their homes after I ascend the throne and kill their heads, okay? By the way, I forgot to tell you that your niece Concubine Rong has been killed by me, as well as the queen. Now, it's grandmother's turn. You people are all against me, so you all have to die. ”
Empress Dowager Wei trembled in shock, and she exclaimed in shock: "Guo Xu, you dare to rebel and usurp the throne, kill your brother and kill your mother, where is the conscience?" You...... You're so bold, you're not as good as a beast. ”
Guo Xu said angrily: "This is all forced by you, I knew that today, you shouldn't have forced me to be cornered." Let me be the crown prince and ascend the throne, where is the current thing? But you have to hold that wretched Guo Mian, how much can he compare with me? If you want to blame, blame yourselves. Grandmother, do you go on your own or do your grandchildren give you a ride? ”
Empress Dowager Wei's face was like ashes, she shook her head and muttered: "What a sin, what kind of sin did the Guo family do, to give birth to such a cruel and disobedient evil obstacle." The Guo family is dying. The ancestors and the ancestors are above, the first emperors and emperors, open your eyes and look at the unfilial descendants of your Guo family. Let's see how he killed his father and mother, killed his brother, and killed me, an old woman. If you still have the Spirit, punish this disobedient man. ”
Guo Xu said angrily: "Until now, you still want to slander me." Okay, I'm a disobedient, so what? I will be disobedient to all men. You don't have to worry about me, how is the Guo family? Is that what you can care about? I will revive the prestige of the Great Zhou and let you see what the King of Sainthood is. Grandmother, grandson sent you on your way. ”
Guo Xu approached step by step with a long sword, Empress Dowager Wei was angry and frightened, her body trembled violently, and suddenly she screamed, and she fell backwards with her back in the sky, and her body fell straight and fell on the cold collapse. Guo Xu was startled, frowned, and said, "Pretend to be dead?" That's not going to work either. ”
As he spoke, Guo Xu raised his long sword and stabbed at the chest and abdomen of the Empress Dowager Wei.
"Stop!" An angry shout came from behind, Guo Xu turned his head in shock, and saw Lu Zhongtian standing there with an angry face, and Wu Chunlai standing next to him.
"Grandfather, you're here." Guo Xu said happily.
Lu Zhongtian's face was gloomy, and he shouted in a deep voice: "If the old man doesn't come again, I'm afraid that the people in this harem will be killed by you." Do you know what you're doing? What's the fault of those palace maids and eunuchs outside, and you want to kill them all? You also killed the queen, you also killed Concubine Rong, and you also killed the queen mother? Are you crazy? Are you crazy? ”
Guo Xu frowned and said: "These people are all against me, why should I keep him?" Kill them one by one. ”
Lu Zhongtian angrily reprimanded: "Bastard! You want to be the emperor, you don't even let go of the harem women and children, the queen and grandmother, how will you explain to the people of the world in the future? How do you get them to embrace you? Are you destroying your reputation, not cultivating virtue, do you want the world to think that you are a tyrant? You hate these people, just imprison them, why do you want to bring people into the harem to slaughter? It's ridiculous, bastard. ”
Guo Xu was at a loss in his heart, and he also felt that it seemed that he had killed all the way just now, but it seemed to be a bit excessive.
Wu Chunlai persuaded on the side: "Lu Xiang doesn't have to be too angry, His Royal Highness King Huai has been angry for a long time, and he can't hold it back for a while." Now is not the time to talk about these things, before the big things are done, let's talk about the right things first. More on that later. ”
Lu Zhongtian nodded slightly, walked quickly to the side of the Queen Mother who fell to the ground, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, and said with a drastic change in his face: "The Queen Mother is gone!" ”
Guo Xu hurriedly said: "I didn't kill it, I haven't done it yet." ”
Lu Zhongtian said coldly: "The Queen Mother is not in good health, she is old and frail, how can she withstand the things in front of her?" This is a rage, and the oil runs out. ”
Guo Xu said: "It's okay to die, I'll do it if I save it." ”
Lu Zhongtian sneered: "You are trying to have a good time, don't you know that this will be a debt you will bear in the future." ”
Guo Xu gritted his teeth and said: "I have already taken this step, what debt are I afraid of?" What reputation to worry about? Doesn't my grandfather think it's a little ridiculous when he says this now? ”
Lu Zhongtian sighed, glared at Guo Xu for a moment, and finally nodded: "That's what I said." That's it. Even so, nothing is said. From now on, the harem is blocked, and there can be no more killings and chaos. The palace must first be stabilized before the outside can be stabilized. ”
Guo Xu also softened, and arched his hand: "Listen to your grandfather!" ”
Lu Zhongtian turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "Come to Yanhe Hall to discuss matters, order someone to clean up the harem, and appease the concubines and palace maids." ”
Guo Xu and Wu Chunlai hurriedly followed him out, Wu Chunlai suddenly stopped, looked back at the several palace maids who were shrinking in the corner, and frowned: "How can these people live." ”
Guo Xu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Wu Chunlai meant. These people witnessed the whole process of forcing the Queen Mother to die, and if they are alive, will they be the bane of spreading rumors in the future.
Wu Chun glanced at Guo Xu and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, I'll deal with it." ”
Guo Xu nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Wu." ”
Wu Chunlai made a look, the two guards turned around and entered the house, and when Lu Zhongtian and Guo Xu and others left the apse of the Fukang Palace, the two guards had already slaughtered several palace maids in the queen mother's house.
