After turning a corner, there was already a faint light ahead, and He Zhiran put the flashlight into the space.
As the rancid smell became stronger and stronger, the two of them appeared in front of Emperor Shunwu.
Visible by the faint light, it was a square room.
The room was surrounded by some items that He Zhiran couldn't name, but it could be determined from the shape of those items that they were ancient instruments of torture.
It can be judged from these torture instruments that this is the place where the queen set up lynching.
Facing them, on a wooden cross, Emperor Shunwu was wearing only a pair of obscene clothes, with his limbs tied tightly to it.
In the corner next to him, there was a corpse. Needless to say, this must be the corpse of the Queen Mother.
Unexpectedly, the queen was so vicious that she would not even let an old woman go. Even if she was alive, she would be so undignified. You know, she was the queen mother of the Dashun Dynasty...
Emperor Shunwu raised his head with great effort, trying not to let his messy hair block his sight.
After seeing clearly that the people coming were all unfamiliar faces, he was stunned for a moment.
Just when he was about to say something, He Zhiran had already taken out the silver needle from the space.
Because she knew that Emperor Shunwu had a body that was invulnerable to all poisons, and drugs would not work at all. Therefore, before Emperor Shunwu could react, her silver needle had already been inserted into his sleeping point.
After confirming that the other party was unconscious, Mo Jiuye quickly stepped forward and removed the rope from his body.
The couple cooperated tacitly, and when He Zhiran was about to collapse to the ground, He Zhiran waved his little hand and sent the person into the space.
Just now, Mo Jiuye just stunned a few guards in the Queen's Palace. In this extraordinary period, she could not be careless enough to leave only a few people to keep vigil at night.
If someone came out to change their posts or do other things, and found that all those people were stunned, it would be difficult for them to leave this place quietly.
What's more, Mo Jiuye and Yue Hezhiran's main purpose of coming here tonight is to find the whereabouts of Emperor Shunwu. Now that he has been found, there is no need to stay here for the time being.
Mo Jiuye glanced around again and saw that there were no useful clues in the secret room, so he pulled He Zhiran and left quickly.
Fortunately, they were fast. As soon as they left the queen's palace, they heard someone inside shouting that someone was coming. There was no doubt that the stunned palace residents had been discovered.
There will definitely be chaos in the palace later, and they must find a relatively safe place to hide.
After careful consideration, both Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran decided to go to the cold palace to escape temporarily.
According to Mo Jiuye's understanding, because the queen's family background was powerful and jealous, there were not many women in Emperor Wu's harem.
Even a few concubines who made mistakes had been executed by the queen's people long ago, without even a chance to be relegated to the cold palace.
It can be said that after Emperor Shunwu has been in power for so many years, the Cold Palace has become a useless place, and no one has entered it at all.
Not only that, the location of Leng Palace is extremely remote. Even if the Queen's people search for it, they won't be able to find it in a short time. They may not even be able to remember the place Leng Palace.
With an idea in mind, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran avoided the sight of the patrol team and successfully arrived at Leng Palace.
The cold palaces in history were all dilapidated and dilapidated, and this place was no exception, especially since no one had taken care of it for decades. The grass on the ground grew as tall as a person, which made it easier for them to hide.
The two entered a room at random, and as soon as they opened the door, they felt countless spider webs in front of them.
Mo Jiuye pulled a handful of weeds and moved forward while waving them.
Although it was relatively safe here, they didn't dare to make any light rashly.
The two of them found a place similar to a bed. With a thought from He Zhiran, Emperor Shunwu, who was still in a coma, lay upright on it.
He Zhiran took out the silver needle again and pricked several of his acupuncture points. Soon Emperor Shunwu came to life.
Emperor Shunwu felt the change in the environment and sat up vigilantly.
Although the darkness made it difficult to see, Emperor Shunwu still felt two black figures standing in front of him.
"Who are you?"
It has to be said that as the emperor of a country, although he is a bit mediocre, he has not lost his due momentum.
He Zhiran knew that once Mo Jiuye spoke, Emperor Shunwu would easily hear him out, so she spoke first:
"We are here to save you."
He Zhiran didn't have a good impression of Emperor Shunwu, and his tone was naturally not much better.
Although Emperor Shunwu was not happy with this tone, he was not without any sense and knew that this was not the time for him to put on airs.
"Who asked you to rescue me?"
"You don't need to know who it is. I just want to know what happened in the palace. If you tell the truth, it will be good for you." He Zhiran was still rude. There was no need to be polite to such a mediocre emperor.
Emperor Shunwu could not judge the identity of the two people, but he also knew in his heart that this might be the only chance to make a comeback.
"I was careless and fell into that bitch's trap."
After a pause, Emperor Shunwu continued:
"Shortly after the queen adopted the fourth prince, I discovered that the guards around me had changed. Just when I was about to call someone to inquire, those guards took me away without any explanation and imprisoned me in a dark place."
"Don't you know where you are being held?" He Zhiran asked.
"Because I wanted to call for help when I was just arrested, but I was knocked unconscious by those people. When I woke up again, it was the place where you rescued me today."
He Zhiran nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Later I discovered that the person who captured me was actually sent by the Queen.
Before I was arrested, I had a dream in which I lost my jade seal. I was worried that the dream would come true, so I hid the jade seal.
Thanks to this dream, the queen's people failed to find the jade seal, so I survived. "
"Don't worry, we are not interested in your jade seal. Now the court is basically controlled by Prime Minister Xue. If you want to get back the Dashun country, you can no longer sit still and wait for death." He Zhiran reminded.
"I now hate the queen and her people. If I can revive Chao Gang, I will definitely cut them into pieces."
"It's pointless for you to say these cruel words to us. We need to take practical actions." He Zhiran sounded a little disdainful.
This kind of thing cannot be accomplished by talking, especially now that most of the entire court has been controlled by the Xue family. How can it be so easy to get it back?
Emperor Shunwu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "As long as they can't get the jade seal, they will never be able to become emperor in this life.
Even if the queen adopts the fourth prince, it will be useless without me overriding the imperial edict of Yuxi. "
