Seeing His Majesty suffer such a big blow, the little father-in-law's head hung even lower, and he almost buried his head in his chest.

The old man on the side hurriedly stood up and said to the little father-in-law who was kneeling on the ground, "You go down first." ”

When the little father-in-law heard the voice of the chief steward go down first, he looked at it with gratitude in his eyes.

He stood up and saluted His Majesty in front of him, and then slid away.

When the little father-in-law completely withdrew from the entrance of the main hall, the old man took a step forward and said with some worry: "Now that the enemy army has come in, let the old slave block it here, Your Majesty, you go and avoid it first." ”

Hearing this, the devastated Canglan Monarch looked at his husband, who was deeply valued by him, sighed, and then shook his head.

"It's too late, Grandpa An, how many years have you been with me?"

Hearing His Majesty suddenly say this, although the old man was a little puzzled, he still said truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, it's been thirty-five years." ”

"Thirty-five years, you have been with me for the longest time, and you are also the most worthy of me, now that the overall situation has been decided, I asked people to send you away, after you leave, they should not go to great lengths to find you."

For his hard-working husband, when he heard that he let himself leave and that he was blocking the enemy army, he suddenly felt that he was hopeless to escape at the moment, and it was better to let this old slave who did his best for himself leave, which could be regarded as a kind of final compensation for him.

But how could the old man, who had almost watched him grow up, be willing to leave alone, so he said: "Your Majesty, the old slave is now old, and even if he leaves, it is estimated that he will not live for a few years, so let the old slave stay with Your Majesty." "He was telling the truth.

He is now a handful of years old, and he has no relatives and no continued bloodline, and he doesn't know what else he can do after he goes out, so it is better to stay with His Majesty.

"Okay, then Father-in-law An will stay with me." After speaking, the monarch of Canglan Kingdom said: "You now send someone to send the prepared things to every palace, and make sure that every concubine drinks them." ”

Gonggong An thought of what His Majesty had asked him to prepare, he sighed lightly in his heart, and then turned around and retreated.

In the harem, the concubines who couldn't find a chance to escape, or the concubines who were lucky and thought that His Majesty would definitely be able to guard the country, or the concubines who really didn't want to leave, they welcomed three fathers-in-law soon after.

At the head was Gonggong An beside His Majesty, followed by two little eunuchs, one of whom also held a tray in his hand with a small and delicate cup on it.

"Concubine Hua, this is the wine given by His Majesty, and Concubine Hua is invited to drink it, so that the old slave can have a business."

Father-in-law An shook the dust in his hand to his arm, and his tone of voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

The concubine named Concubine Hua looked at the small jade cup held in front of her by the little eunuch with her beautiful eyes, and her delicate and beautiful face was frightened.

She smelled the smell of wine coming from the glass, and although it was the smell of wine, she knew that it must be a deadly poison inside.

Because in this special period now, Your Majesty will not give wine for no reason, and if the old slave in front of you doesn't drink, I will order someone to personally pour you into the posture of drinking.

With these two, she had already concluded that the cup was poison.

She was lucky, and perhaps His Majesty would be able to defend the whole country and repel all the enemy forces.

Now it seems that her luck was wrong.

She took two steps back and shouted to the maidservants and grandmothers beside her, "You drive them out of the palace." ”

She didn't want to drink this cup of poisonous wine, she didn't want to die.

Her personal maid and grandmother immediately stood up from her side.

Gonggong An, who was not shocked, glanced at them lightly, and then said unhurriedly: "Presumptuous, this is Your Majesty's will, you dare!" Although his tone was unhurried, it carried a coercion.

His words made the maids and grandmothers stop and not dare to step forward.

This move can make Concubine Hua angry enough.

Seeing that there was no one to stop him, Gonggong An bowed lightly to the pale Concubine Hua, "Since Concubine Hua refuses to cooperate with the old slave, the old slave will be offended." When he had finished speaking, he reached out and took the tray, and then said to the two little eunuchs, "Hold her." ”

The two little eunuchs heard the order, so they stepped forward one left and one right to hold down Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua was pampered and raised since she was born, and the strength of this struggle can directly make the two little eunuchs ignore it.

Grandpa An picked up the cup on the tray with one hand and walked towards her step by step.

Concubine Hua, who was held down, watched his figure getting closer and closer, and there was unconcealed horror in her beautiful eyes.

"Don't drink it, don't drink it in this palace, you cheap maids don't hurry up and pull him away from this palace." Concubine Hua had just finished speaking, and was choked by the little eunuch and forced to open her mouth.

Father-in-law An poured the poisonous wine in his hand on her without mercy, and then left with the eunuch.

He was responsible for supervising the drinking of poisoned wine by the concubines with high ranks, and some of the concubines with lower titles were done by some eunuchs.

Soon after Gonggong An left with people, Concubine Hua, who had been poured poisoned wine, lay on the ground like a rag doll, and a wisp of blood overflowed from the corner of her lips.

To death, her eyes were still looking out of the palace, and she still had the desire to leave and the desire to survive that had been left before death.

The rest of her maidservants were so frightened that they rolled up some valuable things and hurried away, leaving only the middle-aged grandmother behind.

Mama helped her up to the bed with some difficulty, and when she reached the bedside, she let her master lie on the bed, and then pulled a silk quilt that was smooth and soft and extremely comfortable to the touch and covered her body, leaving only a poignant face, and then took a handkerchief to wipe the blood stains from the corners of his mouth.

"Miss, that's all the slave can do." After she finished speaking, she took a deep look at the young lady she had served for more than ten years, and then turned to leave.

In the other palaces that followed, I don't know how many such situations occurred, but most of the people were very conscious of drinking the poisonous wine, only a small number of people were poured it, and a few of them hung themselves with a white silk and hanged themselves.

Suddenly, the entire harem was immersed in a thick air of death.

The eunuchs who came back to report to Gonggong An saluted one after another, "Lord Steward, when the servants sent poisoned wine to the beauties and nobles, they found that many of them had fled. ”

"The minions and the others searched the entire harem, but they found no trace of it."

Listening to the reports of the eunuchs, Grandpa An's brows furrowed.

It sounds like they must have fled the palace before that.
