Chapter 370: Palace Change (3)
"Empress Qiqi," the soldier reported angrily, "This is the chamberlain in the East Palace, doing some rough work on weekdays. Just now, I sneaked out by the well. The small ones have already inspected the wells, and two of the three wells have been poisoned."
The last well, before I could do anything, was discovered.
All the ladies were shocked and scolded one after another.
Empress Su's eyes flashed with anger, and she pulled Zhao Xiyan's arm hard, making a killing gesture.
Zhao Xiyan nodded slightly, and said coldly: "The queen mother has a will, kill it immediately."
Without hesitation, the soldiers received the order, and with a flick of their long knives, they beheaded the attendant. A puddle of blood splattered onto the hems of the two Lady of Commandment. The two closest people watched the bloody heads roll over, each screamed, their eyes turned white, and they fainted.
Everyone was shocked, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.
Zhao Xiyan's voice echoed in everyone's ears again: "Don't panic, everyone, as long as you stay here safely, you will be fine."
"This rebellious thief must have an internal response in the East Palace. This is the first one, and the second and third will be caught soon."
Sure enough, after a stick of incense, another attendant was dragged over. This chamberlain waited outside the study on weekdays, and took advantage of the chaos to open the door of the study and set a fire. As soon as the fire started, it was discovered. The fire was extinguished in time.
Of course, such a person cannot be kept.
Zhao Xiyan coldly ordered, and his own soldiers waved their long knives again and beheaded the second person.
Such a bloody scene is shocking when I see the first time, and it is still bloody and terrible when I see the second time. When the third and fourth were caught, there were even some of the pro-soldiers who broke out and made trouble, wounding two people, and being chopped into pulp.
It's getting brighter.
The fire in the palace is getting brighter and brighter. The shouts of killing were much closer. Even people began to storm the gate of the East Palace. He was shot by a sharp arrow by his own soldiers who were squatting on the palace wall.
Empress Su's eyes flashed with water, and her body kept trembling.
Zhao Xiyan reached out and held Queen Su's hand. Empress Su used all her strength to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes.
Sitting on the ground, the ladies experienced the longest night in their lives. When it was getting dark, one of them finally couldn't help it and cried in a low voice.
Soon, one after the other, let out a low whimper. qδ.net
Emotions are as tight as bowstrings, and it doesn't hurt to loosen them a little.
This time, Zhao Xiyan did not scold. In fact, her emotions have been tense and a little tired.
It's just that at this time, she is the backbone of everyone, and she can't show tiredness and weakness.
Zhao Xiyan turned her head and whispered to Queen Su, "Niangniang must be very tired after standing for a long time, you might as well sit against the coffin and rest for a while."
Empress Su nodded slightly, leaned against the coffin, and sat down slowly. The tears that I had been holding back quietly slipped down.
Until now, Queen Su didn't know who the rebels were.
The three groups of people sent to the Jinluan Palace failed to return. It can be seen that the Jinluan Palace is the most dangerous.
Emperor Yongming and hundreds of officials in the court were in the Jinluan Palace. The rebellious ministers and thieves forced the palace, so they naturally wanted to go to the Jinluan Palace. On the other side of the East Palace, they are all female dependents, and the traitors can't take care of it for a while. In these two hours, six internal responses were captured, and the rest were quite stable.
No matter how disgusted she was with Emperor Yongming, she was also frightened and scared at this time. The son is already dead, and if Emperor Yongming has any more accidents, the sky of the Great Jin Dynasty will completely collapse.
Zhao Xiyan sat next to Queen Su, and seeing Queen Su's tears falling like rain, Zhao Xiyan sighed secretly and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. There are many guards in the Jinluan Palace, and they will definitely be able to protect the emperor and his ministers."
Empress Su leaned her head on Zhao Xiyan's shoulder, and tears quickly soaked Zhao Xiyan's shoulder.
An old woman with gray hair suddenly crawled over tremblingly and grabbed Queen Su's arm.
Queen Su raised her misty teary eyes and saw her old mother-in-law with tears on her face: "Niangniang! The East Palace is quite stable, and now you have to know the movements on the side of the Jinluan Palace. The emperor is in the Jinluan Palace, and your father and your brother are also in the Jinluan Palace
。 Niangniang, send someone to take a look."
Empress Su subconsciously wanted to nod, Zhao Xiyan frowned, and said coldly: "The East Palace has already sent three groups of people to the Jinluan Palace, but there has been no response. It can be seen that the traitor is forcing the palace. Sending someone there now is nothing but death."
"Old Madam Su has a husband and a son in the Jinluan Palace, and all the ladies here also have husbands, brothers, children and grandchildren."
"I can't do anything right now. Please ask Mrs. Su to go back to her place and wait quietly. If such nonsense disturbs people's hearts like this, the princess of this world will not be spared."
Old Madam Su was shocked and angry, and was about to speak, when Queen Su suddenly pulled her arm back. wiped away his tears with his sleeve, stretched out his hand to point at Mrs. Su, and then pointed to the position where Mrs. Su was originally sitting.
Old Madam Su climbed back indignantly.
Even Mrs. Su touched a hard nail, and all the wives who were frightened for her husband's children and grandchildren had to keep their mouths shut.
Zhao Xiyan raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Jinluan Palace.
What's the mess there?
Outside the Jinluan Palace, there were corpses lying all over the ground.
These corpses are all palace guards. Among them, there are loyal to the Son of Heaven, and there are also traitors and thieves. When the first fire burst out in the middle of the night last night, among the guards on night outside the Jinluan Palace, someone suddenly pulled out a long knife and burst out to kill people.
Immediately afterward, many guards in armor rushed out of the shadows. For a time, the killing was bloody.
General Tao was stunned by the sudden rebellion, reacted quickly, and shouted loudly to lead the troops to kill the thieves. These thieves, who are usually colleagues, all wore red silk cloth tied to their left arms. One by one, they were not afraid of death, and rushed to the Jinluan Hall one after another.
General Tao was frightened and tried his best to resist. Slashed in the chaos. Fortunately, the knife injury was not serious, and the injury was in the back, so it didn't have much impact. He continued to wield his sword to kill, shouting sharply, "Stop the thieves and protect the emperor!"
The largest side hall of the Jinluan Hall was set up as the prince's mourning hall. The rebellion came unexpectedly in the middle of the night, and the courtiers in the mourning hall were not injured for the time being. Some of the important ministers who went to rest in the bedroom were killed by Neiying, and the rest were frightened by the sound of killing outside the door.
Some loyal courtiers rushed out shouting to protect the emperor and rushed to the outside of Emperor Yongming's bedroom: "Your Majesty! Ministers come to escort!"
"Wechen is also here to escort!"
The door to the dormitory was tightly closed, and there was no sound inside.
This situation is really weird. Isn't it that Emperor Yongming has been killed by the traitors!
The old Dingguo Gong, with a ruthless flash in his eyes, called his son, kicked open the door of the Son of Heaven's bedroom together, and then rushed in first.
