Risky?
Naturally, I took a huge risk.
This was a matter of human life, and it was unknown how many lives would be affected. Di Ying was extremely worried.
His Di family members were all put out there as targets.
Although she was very sleepy and exhausted both physically and mentally, Di Ying still couldn't close her eyes, even if she took a short nap.
…
And this night, the one who slept the best and most soundly was probably the old emperor.
She listened to the soft and faint tune and gradually fell into sleep.
It feels like I haven't had such a good sleep for a long, long time.
It wasn't until the sky dimmed that she slowly opened her eyes.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" The eldest maid stepped forward to serve.
The old emperor covered his forehead and sat up under his service.
He asked casually: "Where is Xiao Hongzi?"
If Su Hong changes again, when he gets up early, he will definitely be the one waiting for the old emperor to get up. Because I want to remind or tell His Majesty some government affairs.
The old emperor had long been used to it, but today he saw that it was not Su Hong, and he had not seen Su Hong yet, so he asked.
I'm still thinking in my heart: Time really doesn't forgive anyone. Xiao Hongzi is getting old too. It's too cold to get up today, right?
Just as he was thinking this, the old emperor saw the maid of honor kneeling down with a pop and lying on the ground.
Old Emperor:? ? ?
"What are you doing? What happened?"
The eldest maid reported tremblingly: "Su, Chief Su, was poisoned last night..."
The old emperor suddenly changed his color, stood up suddenly, and shouted with deep pressure: "Say it again!"
"Eunuch Su Hongsu, he was poisoned..."
The eldest palace maid was so frightened that she mustered up all her courage and said it again quickly.
The old emperor strode towards the main hall.
He didn't wear any shoes or outer robe, only wearing a middle coat, so he walked out of the side hall of the dormitory and walked to the main hall in the middle.
But before she could say anything, she received a series of bad news.
Zhang Jian has been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time.
As soon as the palace door opened and His Majesty strode out, he quickly crossed the threshold and bowed to see him.
Then, without waiting for His Majesty to ask questions, he reported it loudly.
"Last night, Prince Liang's Mansion, East Palace, Princess Anle's Mansion, Duke Yu's Mansion, Di Mansion, Dijiazhuang... were suddenly attacked by a large number of criminals. The number of casualties is currently unknown."
The old emperor: "..."
She pinched her palms and looked at the sky outside, wondering if she was still dreaming.
After a breath, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhang Jian, who was bending deeply.
Asked: "Have enemy troops sneaked into the capital city?"
There was such a big movement, and the target was directed at the important ministers, princes and nobles of the court. If the enemy troops had not sneaked in in large numbers, there would be no other possibility.
"I don't know, Dali Temple is still under thorough investigation."
Zhang Jian still bowed deeply and replied.
The old emperor looked at Zhang Jian, narrowed his eyes, and said with faint pressure: "Your official robe is messy and there are a lot of blood stains on it. You deliberately came to see me in such a disgraceful manner, and you came to report it." It's not something that's within your scope...
Are you sure you really don't know anything? Are you here just to tell me that you don’t know anything? "
After hearing this, Zhang Jian straightened his waist, cupped his hands and replied, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Last night, Wei Chen suddenly heard the news of the attack on Di Mansion and hurried over.
At that time, the Di Mansion had been attacked by a large number of criminals. The ministers did not care about etiquette, so they asked the servants and guards they brought to help guard the Di Mansion.
During this period, the sounds of fighting were heard throughout the capital city.
Don't rest until the sky is about to brighten.
The minister was lucky enough to survive, so he rushed to the palace city to report these things to His Majesty.
Along the way, I received the specific names of the mansions that were attacked and killed last night..."
Before Zhang Jian could finish speaking, Wu Qiongsi arrived.
Wu Qiongsi was dressed in clean official uniform, and his oily hair was still obediently attached to the top of his head.
There was no panic in his expression, only anger and... mourning.
With a mournful face, he came in and knelt at His Majesty's feet, howling at the top of his lungs.
"Your Majesty, so many assassins came to attack my nephew last night. There was no resistance in my nephew's mansion, and many people died. Your Majesty, you must avenge your nephew. "
"Who's dead?"
The old emperor's face was gloomy, but it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Wu Qiongsi quickly reported back: "Chen, his third son, his third daughter-in-law, one of his concubines, two concubines, two nephews and their wives... were all killed... …It was such a miserable death.”
The old emperor: "..."
She took a deep breath to calm down, then looked at Li Guoer and Wei Shi who were hurriedly coming outside the hall, then pointed to a corner and thought to Wu Qiong: "Stop howling now, wait. I’ll wait until I hear all the reports.”
Wu Qiong thought clearly that His Majesty would never let the Wu family embarrass themselves in front of the Li family. So Guaifei immediately closed his mouth, pressed the silk handkerchief over the corners of his eyes, got up and stood aside.
Li Guoer, on the other hand, didn't even give Wu Qiongsi an extra glance.
Everyone else walked into the hall, but Li Guoer ran in.
As soon as she ran in, she threw herself into His Majesty's arms, hugged His Majesty's waist, and started crying.
The old emperor: "..."
Although she was prepared for this.
After all, Li Guoer was her biological granddaughter, and she was used to holding her and acting like a baby like this.
But this time... Li Guoer used a little too much force.
The old emperor endured the slight pain in his chest, and while caressing Li Guoer's back, he looked at Wei Shi.
Webster saluted quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, last night Princess Anle's Mansion and the East Palace where I was located were attacked by men in black. Several officials of the Crown Prince died in the East Palace...and, and... …An Le’s Prince Consort, Wu Yanxiu, and Death…”
The old emperor: "..."
Wu Yanxiu actually died like this, while Wei Shi and Li Guoer were still fully dressed...
After a breath, the old emperor patted Princess Anle Li Guoer's head and gently took her aside to let her stand firm.
"How many people died in Di Mansion and Dijiazhuang?"
The old emperor asked about this.
However, neither Zhang Jian nor Wu Qiongsi, nor Li Guoer nor Wei Shi could answer.
Zhang Jian said he came from Di Mansion, but was there anyone dead in Dijiazhuang? How many people died? But he was also unaware.
Seeing that no one could answer this question, the old emperor glanced at a few people again and then looked outside the palace.
She felt: Someone should come to report it.
