Chapter 487: The Man Who Took the Emperor Away
At this moment, a guard ran over and whispered a few words in the ear of the head of the guard, and Empress Yang saw it and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The leader of the guards clasped his fists and said: "Queen Qiyu, the subordinates of the lower officials have found the body of His Majesty's nurse. ”
"The nurse is dead?" Although Empress Yang was calm, she was only a young woman of eighteen or nineteen years old after all, and tonight's events were too turbulent for her to adapt for a while.
The head of the guard said: "There is a silver hairpin stuck in the throat of the nurse, and the silver hairpin has the mark of the silver bureau, and the lower officials suspect that the death of the nurse is related to the two palace maids." ”
Although the silver bureau in the palace is to make utensils and jewelry for the masters every day, it will also make some invaluable toys for the masters to reward. And those who wear silver hairpins in the palace are all palace maids. Since this silver hairpin has a unique mark on the silver bureau, it is understandable that the head of the guard thinks that it is related to the two palace maids beside the little emperor.
Queen Yang's face sank like water, but her mood was a little complicated, and she even had a little bit of schadenfreude.
I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager would never have thought that there were still traitors in Chaoyang Palace until she died.
She waved her hand and said to Qianhu Sun Zhong: "You take people with you, and you must rescue Your Majesty and Master An." ”
The identity of Princess An is too sensitive, and Queen Yang doesn't want to have any conflict with Dang Xia Guo at this time.
Moreover, Empress Yang actually didn't know why Princess An would become a monk in Ci'en Temple, and she had seen Princess An in Chaoyang Palace since the first year she entered the palace, and then every year Princess An would enter the palace to live for a few days and talk to the Queen Mother. For this reason, Empress Yang also asked her grandfather, but her grandfather avoided talking about it.
Empress Yang is not in the mood to delve into this matter, there are thousands of things at the moment, in fact, there are only two things that have been sorted out, that is, the Empress Dowager is dead, and the little emperor has been kidnapped.
Someone finally brought chairs, and Empress Yang and Concubine Mao both sat down, and the two of them found that their legs were almost numb.
Fortunately, it is summer and autumn now, and the weather is neither cold nor hot, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable to stand in the open air like this.
Chaoyang Palace was a mess, with blood on the ground and walls, whether it was Empress Yang and Concubine Mao, or these chamberlains and palace maids, they would rather stand outside than go inside.
Concubine Mao was looking in the kneeling crowd, she frowned and asked, "Why don't you see Mama He and Mama Gui?" ”
These two grandmothers are the most considerate around the Queen Mother, and they are inseparable from the Queen Mother, but now they are all gone, could it be that they are also dead?
The leader of the guards said: "In the chaos just now, Mama He unfortunately died, but Mama Gui didn't know where she went, and the lower officials never saw it. ”
In fact, Mama He was killed by Shen Tong, but under that situation at that time, no one really knew what happened, when they found out, Mama He had already fallen, and the guards had not had time to investigate the matter, Queen Yang and Concubine Mao arrived.
Mao Guifei didn't think much about it, she thought that Mama He died with the Queen Mother, she sighed, to be honest, her impression of Mama He is still good, she originally wanted to win over, but now it is not necessary. As for Mama Gui, I think it's the same as the nurse, I don't know where she died, but she hasn't found the body yet.
Empress Yang frowned invisibly, she knew that Mama He and Mama Gui had martial arts.
She has been in and out of Chaoyang Palace far more times than Mao Guifei, and the relationship between her and the Empress Dowager is far closer than that between the Empress Dowager and Mao Guifei.
Therefore, before she officially entered the palace, she knew that these two grandmothers had martial arts, but she did not tell Concubine Mao.
Once again, silence returned, and the silence was oppressive.
Empress Yang's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze fell on the two black-clothed people who were pressed to the ground.
"Bring those two Assassins here, and take a look at the mourners." Empress Yang said.
The head of the guard hurriedly dissuaded him, saying, "The queen must not be, these two people are cruel and ruthless, I am afraid that they will be disrespectful to you." ”
Of course, the disrespect in the mouth of the head of the guard is by no means literal, and to put it bluntly, who knows if they will pounce and die with you.
Empress Yang actually wanted to see who was colluding with Deshan, but she still held back and didn't continue to insist.
It wasn't exactly the words of the head of the guard that scared her, but she remembered Deshan. After all, Deshan is a person in the Protector's Mansion, and these two people are together with Deshan, and Empress Yang is worried that these two people will say something unfavorable to the Protector's Mansion in public.
She didn't want to stay alive, but not yet.
These guards, these Yulin Army, as Sun Zhong said, even if they are not the children of Wuxun, they have served in the army for generations and have military positions, they are connected to the court, and they are connected to the magnates in Beijing, once Empress Yang exterminates these assassins now, the Yang family will be speechless.
Empress Yang nodded and didn't ask any further.
Concubine Mao looked in the direction of Cuizhu Road from time to time, she was far more worried about the safety of the little emperor than Empress Yang.
If this little emperor dies, he will inevitably bring a child over in the Zhou clan. As Empress Yang thought, at that time, Empress Yang was still the queen mother, and if she was lucky, Concubine Mao would be a concubine at most.
At that time, she, who had been the emperor's biological mother, was not as good as the concubines in the palace who had no heirs.
Concubine Mao has done so many things, all she wants is the identity of the queen mother, once she doesn't have it, then everything she has done over the years will be in vain.
She couldn't wait to go over there to see it in person and bring the little emperor back with her own hands.
I don't know if Sun Zhong and these people can do it.
Empress Yang's heart was also galloping like a thousand horses, she really didn't expect that the assassins would be mixed in the Yulin Army.
At that time, only the Yulin Army and the guards could walk around in the Chaoyang Palace, since those people were mixed in the Yulin Army, they took the little emperor away, and then went to the residence of Princess An, even if they were seen on the road, it would not be suspicious.
But when did these people get in?
At this moment, Shen Tong and Yun Qi were tied up by five flowers, half kneeling and half lying on the ground.
The voices of Empress Yang, Mao Guifei, Gonggong Qi, Sun Zhong and others in front of her, because they were far away, Shen Tong didn't really hear them, but occasionally one or two sentences floated into her ears.
She heard them talk about Master Ann.
She also heard them looking for the little emperor.
Then, many of the Yulin troops retreated.
Shen Tong's body couldn't move, so he could only glance at Yun Qi on the side with the residual vision of his eyes, could it be that A-Niang still had a helper?
She remembered that when she came out of the village that day, she was with the old official, Ah Hua and Ersan.
Could it be that they also entered the palace?
Shen Tong felt that it was unlikely.
It was not easy to enter the palace, Xiao Jiaken promised to get Yun Qi in, but he might not let others in with him.
How cautious Xiao Changdun was, Shen Tong had already understood.
The person who kidnapped the little emperor, if it wasn't Yun Qi's people, then who else would it be?
It can't be Ah Yu, right?
Ah Yu brought fifty people into Beijing.
