As soon as they left, Helian Rong slumped back onto the stone bench in dejection.
Yuan Xian was startled and quickly stepped forward to help him: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health!"
Helian Rong held Yuan Xian's hand and murmured, "Yuan Xian, I'm old. They think I'm useless!"
Yuan Xian looked at Helian Rong with heartache and comforted him, "Please don't think like that. Actually, the three princes weren't targeting you..."
"Bang!" Before Yuan Xian could finish speaking, Helian Rong slammed his fist on the stone table in anger: "They have no right to send assassins into the palace, no matter who they are!"
Yuan Xian was immediately terrified and knelt down, prostrating himself at Helian Rong's feet, and whispered, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Crown Prince and the young prince are both safe now. Please don't harm yourself because of this."
Helian Rong was genuinely angry, but he knew he couldn't collapse yet; he had to hold on for another three years.
For Yun'an, for Northern Wei, let's hold on for another three years!!!
After Su Renzhong and the others returned to the East Palace, they were all unable to calm down.
Su Renzhong looked at Su Yun'an and Su Xuening, and Xuan Yuanzhan said, "I wonder if there are any assassins we've missed. Everyone, be vigilant while you're sleeping."
Xuanyuan Zhan raised an eyebrow: "There probably won't be any more. Those assassins were tortured so badly by the divine beasts that even if there were any survivors, they probably wouldn't dare to come back."
Su Renzhong was still somewhat worried, and frowned, saying, "Who knows if Helian Zheng and his gang have any other tricks up their sleeves? It's better to be cautious."
Xuanyuan Zhan nodded and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry. Ye Feng and Ye Yun will be keeping watch in the shadows. Everyone can sleep peacefully. If there is any unusual activity, they will notify us."
Su Yun'an looked at Su Renzhong and comforted him, "Besides Ye Feng and Ye Yun, there are also three divine beasts who will be silently protecting us in the shadows. If we are in danger, the three divine beasts will definitely appear in time. Father, you don't need to worry too much and can rest assured."
Duanmu Junyu also looked at Su Renzhong and comforted him: "As long as we are in danger, the divine beast will appear, so don't worry."
Thinking of the three divine beasts and their power, Su Renzhong felt somewhat relieved: "Then everyone should get some rest, and we'll talk about everything tomorrow."
Everyone nodded and went back to their rooms to rest.
Su Xuening put the sleeping Xiaobao on the bed. Looking at her soundly sleeping son, Su Xuening was both amused and exasperated: "It was so terrible just now, but our Xiaobao didn't know anything and slept so soundly."
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at his chubby son with some surprise: "He was asleep even though it was so noisy just now?"
Su Xuening kissed her son's chubby little hand, which also smelled wonderfully of milk: "Our little treasure was asleep before those assassins arrived, but even with all that commotion, they didn't wake him up. Little treasure is a good sleeper."
Xuan Yuanzhan seemed to have thought of something, and murmured, "It's good that we can't wake him up!"
Su Xuening seemed to have thought of something as well, and gave him a reproachful look with her pretty face flushed red.
This guy is so unserious.
Upon seeing Su Xuening's expression, Xuan Yuanzhan knew she understood what he meant and immediately tried to pounce on her.
Su Xuening was annoyed by his commotion and hurriedly tried to push him away, but she was afraid of waking Xiaobao, so she could only lower her voice and say, "After what we just went through, you still have this leisure time."
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't care: "What do those things have to do with our marital affairs? Why can't we have time to think about them?"
Xuan Yuanzhan then picked up Su Xuening and carried her in his arms, saying, "Let's take a bath first."
At this moment, the palace was peaceful, but the residences of the three princes were in turmoil because of the arrival of the Azure Dragon Guards and the corpses.
First, it was the Prince Heng's residence.
When Helian Qin heard that Wu Shou had brought the Azure Dragon Guards over, he thought something terrible had happened. He even lost interest in his concubines and hurriedly put on his clothes and came out.
As soon as Helian Qin entered the main hall, he was horrified and nauseous by the bizarrely shaped corpses that filled the hall.
"What do you mean by this! Ugh..." Helian Qin glared at Wu Shougang and asked a question before he could no longer hold back and began to vomit violently.
Although the waiter next to him also felt nauseous, he immediately stepped forward to serve Helian Qin when he saw how uncomfortable he was.
Those who went to fetch the alms bowl, fetched the alms bowl; those who went to fetch the cloth, fetched the cloth; those who went to fetch the hot tea, fetched the hot tea.
But Helian Qin had no use for any of these things. He couldn't even lift his eyes; if he did, he would vomit uncontrollably again.
Seeing Helian Qin vomiting so badly that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, Wu Shou felt genuinely sorry for him: "It seems these assassins weren't sent to the palace by the Prince?"
"What? Ugh... an assassin..." Helian Qin was shocked and tried to speak, but he vomited uncontrollably as soon as he opened his mouth.
Seeing how pitiful Helian Qin was, Wu Shou couldn't bear it any longer. He took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to him, kindly explaining on his behalf: "These are the assassins who entered the palace tonight to assassinate the Emperor, the grandson, and the young prince. These are only a part of them. The Emperor ordered us to send these bodies to the three princes' residences, so these are only one-third of those black-clad assassins."
Helian Qin was shocked again. Looking at the hall full of corpses, the nausea he had managed to suppress surged up again.
These are only a third of the corpses; so many assassins have entered the palace tonight to carry out the assassination.
So it was the second son who did it?
Most importantly, so many assassins failed, and judging from their gruesome deaths, they must have suffered a very tragic defeat.
Seeing that Helian Qin was vomiting and had no time to talk to him, Wu Shou could only leave: "I have official duties to attend to, so I will not keep Your Highness company any longer. If Your Highness is really feeling unwell, perhaps you should ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."
After Wu Shou finished speaking, he left with the Azure Dragon Guards. He still had two families to visit and didn't have the time to stay here with Prince Heng.
Helian Qin actually had many questions he wanted to ask Wu Shou, but he couldn't bring himself to speak; as soon as he opened his mouth, he would vomit profusely.
Helian Qin raised his hand to try to stop Wu Shou, but Wu Shou either ignored him or didn't understand his gesture, and simply left with his men.
"Ugh... Ugh..."
"Splash!" A whole bunch of things came out. Well, that's it. Not only did they throw up tonight's dinner, but they also threw up last night's dinner.
The attendant beside him patted Helian Qin's back with concern while calling to the guards and servants in the mansion: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and dispose of these corpses. Can't you see that the prince can't stand these things?"
"Yes." The crowd responded and began to deal with the corpses.
However, with so many corpses in the hall, and limited manpower, they would have to deal with it for a while.
Seeing that Helian Qin was still vomiting uncontrollably, the attendant, remembering Wu Shou's words, frowned and said with concern, "Your Highness, why don't you find an imperial physician to take a look?"
Helian Qin had no interest in finding the imperial physician anymore. He glared at him, vomiting as he mumbled, "What... imperial physician? Hurry up and... prepare the carriage, we're going to Prince Rui's residence!"
"Yes," the waiter replied quickly.
