When Song Shuwan and Pei Huan rushed to the palace, they saw corpses on the ground, the smell of blood permeated the palace, and the sky-high flames made everyone tremble with fear.
"Your Majesty, this way..."
Song Shuwan wanted to say something, but she paused when the words reached her lips.
Pei Huan's expression was solemn, and even though he looked calm, Song Shuwan still saw anger on his face.
At this moment, several forbidden soldiers appeared and ran in front of the two people in a state of embarrassment.
"I have met the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess, the Emperor, something happened to the Emperor, please come with us immediately."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips slightly, alertness flashed in her heart, but she let several people lead the way and asked about the emperor's situation at the same time.
The eyes of several forbidden soldiers flickered and their answers were very vague.
Song Shuwan saw the problem almost immediately, exchanged glances with Pei Huan, and followed him pretending not to know.
Not long after, several people arrived at the northwest corner of the palace.
Song Shuwan looked around and asked deliberately: "The emperor is here? Why is there no guard here?"
"The Emperor is indeed here, but...he no longer needs to be guarded."
Song Shuwan turned around: "What do you mean?"
One of the forbidden soldiers pulled out the sword in his hand and walked slowly towards Song Shuwan: "Because he is already dead."
Song Shuwan pretended to be horrified and backed away: "Wha, what? How could the emperor be dead? You, aren't you the Forbidden Army? Why didn't you protect the emperor?"
"It's true that we are the imperial army, but we are not the imperial army to protect the emperor. Let us die!"
The man's voice was sharp, and he stabbed Song Shuwan with the sword in his hand.
The next moment, Pei Huan appeared in front of Song Shuwan and directly grabbed the stabbing sword: "You want to kill her, have you asked me?"
Pei Huan suppressed his anger and was merciless when he started. He killed several people in an instant, leaving only the person who started the attack.
"Tell me, where is the emperor now?"
He grabbed the man's collar and put the sword in his hand against his neck.
"I, I don't know..."
"Don't know? You don't want to tell?"
Pei Huan snorted and threw the person aside.
"Interrogate carefully, and search the palace. I don't believe that the emperor can disappear into thin air."
Song Shuwan looked around and walked aside in silence.
Not long after, the secret guards following the palace turned around one after another, and the news they brought back was not optimistic.
"Everyone in the palace said that the emperor was taken away while he was in a coma. There were imperial guards who stopped him. They didn't know where the emperor was taken."
Song Shuwan frowned, suddenly thinking of something, and looked at Qinglian aside: "Is there any secret room in this palace?"
Qinglian looked sideways: "The Crown Princess wants to say that the emperor was taken into the secret room?"
"It may not be impossible. After all, the emperor cannot have a back-up plan. The only difference is whether he will put it in the open."
Qinglian pondered for a long time: "Speaking of this, maybe I really know a place."
After saying this, everyone looked over.
Pei Huan asked: "Where?"
"Royal study room."
After a while, a group of people rushed to the imperial study and found a secret passage under Qinglian's guidance.
Qinglian said: "There is a secret room at the end of this secret passage. I am not sure whether he will be in it, but if he is still in the palace, there is a high possibility that he is in it."
Song Shuwan and Pei Huan looked at each other, and the latter immediately sent a few secret guards in.
Not long after, the secret guard turned around, indicating that there was no one in the secret room.
Qinglian frowned and pondered for a long time: "Besides here, I can't think of any other place in the palace where I can hide."
At this time, Pei Huan said: "Regardless of whether there is a place to hide in the palace, we must first eliminate the hidden dangers in the palace. As long as the emperor is fine, he will definitely come back."
As soon as everyone thought about it, they immediately changed their targets and explored the hidden dangers in the palace in an orderly manner. It was also at this time that everyone discovered that the palace was full of holes. There were actually many people who had secretly had different intentions, including some Yonghe. People in the palace.
When Song Shuwan learned about the situation, she couldn't help but sigh: "If this continues, the emperor will die silently in the palace, and no one will be able to discover the reason."
Pei Huan was speechless, but his expression clearly agreed with this statement.
At dawn, what happened in the palace spread in the capital, causing an uproar.
In order to stabilize the situation in Beijing, Pei Huan had no choice but to show up publicly.
At that time, Song Shuwan had returned to the villa and was about to take a rest when the concierge came to report: "His Royal Concubine, the lady who visited here before is here again."
Song Shuwan was confused: "Have you visited?"
"It's the one that the Crown Princess took with her when she left the capital before."
Queen!
Song Shuwan didn't expect the Queen to come over at this time. After thinking about it, she asked the concierge to invite people into the front hall.
As soon as the two met, the queen smiled and asked: "Is the emperor of Zhou still alive?"
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "The Queen is alive and well, so naturally my Emperor of Zhou Dynasty is also well."
"Really? But how did I hear that the emperor of Zhou Dynasty disappeared?"
"It's just rumors from outside. There are always some people... who like to spread rumors without regard to the facts. It's really a headache."
Song Shuwan said, and pinched her eyebrows to express that she really had a headache.
The Queen smiled: "Yes, there are always some people who like to spread random news."
The two chatted, their words were very calm, but from time to time there were temptations in their words.
After a while, the Queen sighed: "Okay, I won't test it here with the Crown Princess. I heard that the Crown Princess once got a table from a secret guard, right?"
Song Shuwan's heart skipped a beat. When An Yi was in Ningyuan City, he gave her a bracelet and asked her not to reveal it.
She had been keeping that bracelet. No one should know about it except her and An Yi. Where did the Queen get the news?
When their eyes met, Song Shuwan's eyes flickered slightly and she denied the incident: "I have many bracelets in my hand, but I didn't get them from the secret guards."
She paused and continued: "Besides, the bracelet can be considered a personal item. Even if it is a secret guard, it can also be considered a strange man. I will not keep a strange man's belongings next to me."
The Queen raised her lips: "Really? But I think the Crown Princess would want to know more about the secret hidden behind that bracelet, right?"
Song Shuwan looked directly at the Queen: "Sorry, I don't have the bracelet the Queen mentioned in my hand."
The Queen raised her eyebrows: "Okay, since the Crown Princess doesn't admit it, I won't say more, but there is something I still want to reveal to the Crown Princess."
She approached Song Shuwan and stared at Song Shuwan with a pair of smiling eyes.
"If the Crown Princess wants to unlock the secret of that bracelet, she can go to the Huayu Tower. The location of the Flower Rain Tower is just in the west of the city. You can see it when the Crown Princess goes there."
