Chapter 39: The Palace is in Peril

The Emperor of Yingxue Country had nowhere to release Yan Ming's anger, and Concubine Shen Shu was saved by the imperial doctors in the execution department, but a few hours later, she hit the wall again and died The mad concubine of the doctor: Evil Emperor, see you in the cave!. In the past few days, Wan Yanming has used all the power in the palace to check the relationship network of Shen Shufei, but Shen Meier's parents died soon after she entered the palace, and her only brother has long since disappeared, and he has never contacted Shen Shufei for so many years. Even the maids and grandmothers in Concubine Shen's palace were all tortured in prison, but there was no gain. In the past few days, no clues have been found in Shen Shufei's background.

The meticulousness of the enemy's actions made Wan Yanming extremely distressed. Fifteen years ago, Prime Minister Wang Cheng colluded with the ministers of the court to rebel and raise troops to surround the palace, and only a few ministers of the court and the central government were found in that year, and they all said in unison that the rebellion was because the emperor was not virtuous, and the person in charge was Prime Minister Wang, so after the incident, Prime Minister Wang's family was sentenced to the crime of punishing the nine clans, and the rest of the ministers were sentenced to prison and exiled. Now I have no clue to check it again.

The more it can't be found, the more terrifying it is, Wan Yanming can imagine that the terrible person behind the scenes has been preparing intensively for the past fifteen years, and has been closely monitoring his palace, even his only emperor was killed, and even he almost died, and now even this throne is in danger! The brothers originally divided the work, that is, the emperor Wan Yan Ming was responsible for digging out those behind-the-scenes forces, and Wan Yan Xiao was responsible for the affairs of the Darong Dynasty. But after Yan Ming's exhaustion in the past few days, there was no result, and after hearing that Yan Xiao urgently called ten imperial masters, he immediately summoned Wan Yan Xiao.

The peaceful days were too long, so that when there was an emergency, Wan Yanming knew that he, the Emperor of the Peace, was too carefree. It is precisely because of the ease of use that his strength is too weak, so that in dealing with these emergencies, Wan Yanming shows more powerlessness. However, this incident also made Wan Yanming do two things, one is to strengthen the palace guards and remove those who are not sure whether they are reliable; The second is to increase the number of troops to protect the city of Yingxue City, and urgently mobilize nearly 10,000 troops into Yingxue City in case of emergency.

Although he hadn't seen him for two days, Wan Yan Xiao could clearly feel that his imperial brother was much older and haggard. The two talked about the situation they encountered in the past two days, but they were all frowning. The enemy is in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and now I don't even know who the enemy is, how can this feeling not make people crazy.

"Brother Xiao, if I die, you also die, who has the ability to dominate the world in this Yingxue Country?" Wan Yanming asked slowly, this question Wan Yanming had asked himself more than once, but Wan Yanxiao couldn't find the answer.

Wan Yan Xiao thought carefully for a while before he said slowly: "If the Snow Country is in chaos and the world changes hands, no one knows who will end up in this country." But at present, there is no sign of rebellion between the two generals and the old prince who support the army in Yingxue Country, and it seems unlikely that there will be chaos in the world. Then if the emperor dies of natural causes, because the emperor has no heirs, the successor will be Brother Xiao and me. But my brother and I happened to make a big mistake, causing the two countries to go to war, and the ministers would never agree to put the throne in the hands of me, the prince. At this time, it will be the old prince who will succeed to the throne, or the younger brother Wanyanzong. ”

"Could it be Uncle Huang? Or is it the royal brother Wanyan Zong? The emperor asked Yan Ming a little unconvinced. The father and the emperor are in harmony with the emperor's brothers, although the emperor has two points of the army of Yingxue Country, he has never had a self-respecting army, and as far as the courtiers know, the emperor's uncle's favorite thing now is to make fun of his grandson. As for the younger brother Wanyan Sect, he is a playboy, this time he was sent to Muyang City as a minister, but he didn't look back as soon as he went, I heard that the playboy went around collecting beauties everywhere, could such a person be an ambitious rebel? Both shook their heads speechlessly.

And there is also General Lu who has troops in Yingxue Country, General Lu's family has been a general for generations, and he is loyal to the royal family of Yingxue Country, and there is no reason to rebel against the royal family at all. The rest of the troops were in the hands of the brothers Wan Yan Ming and Wan Yan Xiao. It's just that after calculating it like this, the two of them can't find anyone to suspect at all. So the two brothers fell silent again.

The night was already dark, but the two brothers had no sleep. There was silence in the hall for a while, and Gonggong Li cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Does the emperor want some food?" ”

Wan Yan Ming nodded, and because of Father-in-law Li's reminder, Wan Yan Xiao remembered that he hadn't had dinner until now. Isn't the little woman in the palace still ready to make some dishes with watermelon to say goodbye to herself? Thinking of the woman named Yan Yue, Wan Yan Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. I couldn't imagine that I was emotionally attracted to a woman for the first time in so many years, but I met such a woman. ”

"Brother Xiao, don't have a bad relationship with Darong Country because of a woman at this time. Don't be easily emotional about a woman, Brother Huang is a terrible example. After this event, the royal brother will choose a concubine for you. At that time, choose a few more beautiful women, so that you can prolong your children as soon as possible. "It is worthy of being a brother for so many years, Wan Yan Xiao has only begun to wander, and Wan Yan Xiao already knows what his brother is thinking. Thinking of Concubine Shen Shu, who almost killed herself, Wan Yan Ming educated her younger brother with great seriousness.

Wan Yan Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, how could this emotion and emotionlessness be easily controlled by a person. What's more, if it is really a deep love between husband and wife, what do you want so many women to do! It's just that Yan Xiao didn't want to say these words, and this was not the time to discuss this matter, so he immediately changed the topic and asked: "Brother Huang, Shen Shufei really can't find any clues there?" ”

"No, all the guards, girls, grandmothers, and fathers-in-law were all tortured and interrogated, but there was no result." Wan Yanming was helpless again.

Wan Yan Xiao was also surprised, and said casually: "Then this Shen Shufei is really strange, how did she contact the outside of the palace?" She has no accomplices by her side, and she herself doesn't know martial arts, could it be that every time she contacts someone outside the palace, she takes advantage of this dark night to break into the palace? If this is the case, even if the people outside the palace are strong in martial arts, how can there be some clues after so many years. ”

Wan Yanming's brows tightened again: "Yes, I am also strange, where did the poisonous snakes, poisonous beads, and poisonous spiders that the sluts used to kill food come from?" Even if a martial arts master came to this palace every night to send her a message, it would not be so timely. This slut usually doesn't get close to anyone, except for inviting An and the harem on weekdays, she has never been out of her palace gate for a half-step doctor female mad concubine: Evil Emperor, see you in the cave!. I always thought that the slut had another party in this palace, but I couldn't find it. ”

"Bastard things, could it be that those people flew from the world or drilled from the ground!" Wan Yan Xiao couldn't help but burst into foul language. There is no clue, like a kite in the world, the string is broken, the kite is blown away, and nothing can be found. This enemy is too cunning, does it really have to wait for the people behind the curtain of the Darong Dynasty army to pop out! That's terrible, who knows whether the person standing in front of him will be friend or foe, and won't it be too late to know that it is the enemy when the other party stabs him?

After Yan Ming was stunned for a long time because of Yan Xiao's sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up excitedly when he thought of something. said incoherently: "Brother Xiao, I suddenly thought of it, I thought of it!" ”

Wan Yan Xiao was stunned, the emperor was so excited, he must have thought of some important clues, so Wan Yan Xiao also waited nervously. Wan Yanming suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xiao, do you know that this palace has a secret passage to the outside of the palace?" ”

"My brother has never heard of it." Wan Yan Xiao replied in surprise. After Yan Xiao thought about it, he slowly sat down and said, "Yes, this secret path is only known to the emperor, and my father only told me privately after I ascended the throne." The secret passage leads to the Jingfoji Temple outside the castle in order to prevent the final escape. But do those behind the scenes know about this secret passage? Have they always used this secret passage to get in and out of the palace? ”

"Where's the entrance to the secret passage? In your palace? Or is it in the House of Parliament? Wan Yan Xiao asked eagerly.

"No, in the Huayin Palace, it is the closest to the Liuyingxuan where the slut lives. Now that I think about it, half a month ago, that slut pestered me to move to Liuyingxuan just to get close to Huayin Palace. The more Yan Ming spoke, the more angry he became. Huayin Hall is a place dedicated to the ancestors of the royal family of Yingxue Country, unless there is no one to go to the palace for major events or sacrifices, if the enemy uses this secret road, it is really terrifying.

"The palace secrets, even the younger brothers don't know, so how can Concubine Shen Shu know? She only proposed to move to this Liuyingxuan a month ago, could it be that in the meantime, what happened? Wan Yan Xiao asked strangely.

"I remembered, I remembered! Two months ago, during the plague in Muyang City, I had taken the slut to the Huayin Hall to offer incense to the gods and ancestors, and she curiously asked what was going on with the closed hut, but at that time, I didn't care and casually said, "The ancestors left it for life-saving", and the slut didn't ask again. Later, Meng Lanxuan, where she used to live, suddenly went out of the water, pestering me to move to the current Liuyingxuan. The more Wan Yanming thought about it, the more he felt that the facts were right in front of him.

And Wan Yan Xiao's face became more solemn the more he listened, was the enemy so frequent because he had found this secret passage? The secret passage won't be controlled by the enemy now. Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Whether you use this secret way, you can know it at a glance, now bring more guards, and the ministers and brothers will inspect it with the emperor." Wan Yan Xiao and Wan Yan Ming couldn't sit down, and even the meal was delivered, and the two of them were not in the mood to eat, so they immediately summoned nearly a hundred guards, lit torches, and walked towards the Huayin Palace.

There was silence outside the Huayin Palace, but Wan Yan Xiao felt a fear that he had never felt before. What would the enemy do if they really knew the secret passage? Is it just using the Secret Passage message? Has the enemy already captured the secret passage and will attack it at the first opportunity? Wan Yan Xiao thought about it in a cold sweat. If it weren't for his lucky escape on the Changwei Mountain on the way back to Yingxue, if it wasn't for Yan Yue to bring the emperor back to life, maybe today's Yingxue Kingdom Palace would have been a different situation!

The hut in the Huayin Hall was still closed, but the lock was brand new. Wan Yan Ming and Wan Yan Xiao looked at each other, and they both saw a chill in each other's eyes. The door creaked open, and the room was quiet, not at all like it had been unattended for a long time. A guard under the command of Wan Yanming opened the iron cover of the secret passage, holding a torch and slowly descending, but in a moment, there was a scream, and then a figure rushed out of the secret passage.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Wan Yan Xiao shouted and blocked in front of Wan Yan Ming, just because Wan Yan Ming was the closest to the entrance of the secret passage, and his bright yellow clothes were the most eye-catching, so the black shadow's sword stabbed at Wan Yan Ming first. The man carried his sword like the wind, Wan Yan Xiao blocked the first sword, but the man's second sword had already stabbed Wan Yan Xiao's chest. Wan Yan Xiao didn't dare to hide, for fear that if he dodged the sword, he would stab the emperor's body. But that person's internal strength was deep, Wan Yan Xiao's sword didn't completely open his sword, but the sword pierced Wan Yan Xiao's waist slightly, and the blood immediately stained the placket red.

At this time, the guards also surrounded him, and Wan Yan Ming pulled Wan Yan Xiao back, and roared angrily, "Xuan Imperial Doctor!" Catch alive". Even though the man was strong in martial arts, he gradually became overwhelmed by the siege of so many people, and just when the guards thought that there was hope of survival, they heard the man let out a long howl, suddenly twisted the blade of the sword, and stabbed straight into his own chest. This sword is right in the heart, and the power is so great that there is no reason to survive after dialing it out.

Wan Yan Xiao was not nervous, this sword did not hit the vital point. And at this time, whether there will be anyone in the secret passage is what Wan Yan Xiao is most worried about. One by one, the guards carefully carried torches into the secret passage, but there was no second person in the secret passage.

"Send troops to surround Jingfo Temple overnight, escort all the monks of Jingfo Temple into the palace, and bring back all the entry and exit records of Jingfo Temple in the past two months!" Wan Yan Ming roared angrily! In the palace, a column of guards carried torches and headed towards the Jingfo Temple.
