Xianzong blurted out a question, and seeing that all the people around him were looking down, wishing they didn't exist, Xianzong suddenly realized that he had said in front of so many people that his son-in-law and his daughter slept too much. Xianzong patted his forehead, and the emperor believed that he must have stayed up too late and was a little confused.
Xiao Wei was holding a little one in his arms, and he had to protect the unconscious one from being harmed by the palace people. He was exhausted and asked Xianzong, "Your Majesty, what about the Prince Consort?"
Xianzong sees the imperial physician.
The imperial physician could see that although His Majesty looked very bad, he still cared about the health of the Prince Consort, so he said, "Your Majesty, let's find a place for the Prince Consort to rest first. I will prescribe a tonic for him."
Is there a place in the harem where Gu Xinglang can live? Xianzong had a headache and said, "He can't move now?"
The imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, it would be best to let the Prince Consort sober up first."
This means that this kid must spend a night in his imperial palace. Emperor Xianzong looked at Xinglang and became more and more angry. What was he trying to achieve by marrying his daughter to this kid?
Xiao Wei looked at Xianzong with a pleading face. His princess was a skilled doctor, but God knew where she had gone. Xiao Wei didn't trust any other doctor except the imperial physician.
"Send him to the upper study," Xianzong said through gritted teeth, "ask the Imperial Hospital to send a few more people to check the Prince Consort's foot injury. Remember, the Prince Consort's foot injury cannot be missed."
"We obey your order," the two imperial doctors hurriedly said.
The secret guard who let Gu Xinglang lie in his arms, exerted force with both hands and picked Gu Xinglang up sideways.
Xiao Wei also stood up.
Xianzong glanced at Xiao Wei and said, "Are you injured too?"
Xiao Wei's clothes were stained with blood after he used them as a hand cloth for Gu Xinglang. "Your Majesty," Xiao Wei knelt down and replied, "I got a little blood stain on my clothes when I was saving people in the Book Pavilion."
"Alright," Xianzong was not a very curious person, he raised his hand to Xiao Wei and said, "Get up and go to the study with your master."
Seeing that Xianzong didn't mention Yu Ziyi, Xiao Wei hugged Yu Ziyi and ran away with his friend.
Jingzhong watched Xiao Wei take Yu Ziyi away, but this time Jingzhong did not dare to speak to Xianzong again.
After a while, the general of the Imperial Guards who was in charge of putting out the fire in the Book Pavilion came running and reported to Emperor Xianzong: "Your Majesty, the fire in the Book Pavilion has been put out. Two study rooms on the second floor were burned down, and the rest of the study rooms are intact."
Xianzong asked, "Only two rooms were burned?"
The general of the Imperial Guards said, "Yes."
This is the blessing of our ancestors. Xianzong felt that after a night of fear, he finally heard good news. Seeing such a big fire and so much smoke, which only burned down two study rooms, this is not the blessing of our ancestors, what else could it be?
The general of the Imperial Guard said, "Your Majesty, apart from the two maids who were killed on the flower terrace in the courtyard, there were no other casualties."
"Where is the body?" asked Xianzong.
The general said, "In reply to your Majesty, the body has been carried out of the library courtyard and is being sent to the Fear of Punishment Department."
"Let's go and take a look," Xianzong said as he walked towards the Library.
The general hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! I have already found out that the people who were killed were the two maids Wang and Xu who were by your Majesty's side."
When Jingzhong heard that the two maids were dead, his body trembled.
Xianzong asked his general, "So what?"
The general said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to look at the corpse. It is filthy and will pollute Your Majesty's eyes."
"You are afraid that I will be afraid of seeing corpses," Xianzong said unhappily, "Would I be afraid of seeing dead people? What a joke. Lead the way."
The general of the imperial guards saw that he could not persuade Emperor Xianzong, so he wanted to find Jingzhong to see what to do. However, when he looked for him, the general discovered that everyone was standing except for General Jing, who was kneeling alone.
"What are you looking for?" Xianzong asked the general.
The general hurriedly walked diagonally in front of Xianzong to lead the way.
"Jingzhong, follow me," Xianzong walked forward a few steps and felt that there was someone missing by his side. Then he remembered Jingzhong and called out.
Jingzhong hurriedly responded, "Your servant is here," got up from the ground and walked behind Xianzong.
The bodies of the two maids were covered with white cloth and placed outside the courtyard gate of the library, with many imperial guards standing guard around them.
Xianzong walked closer and said, "Lift the cloth."
The general nodded to his men. What could he do if he couldn't persuade the emperor?
A guard bent down and lifted the white cloth covering a corpse.
How could Emperor Xianzong bear such a scene that even Xiao Wei couldn't bear? Looking at the headless corpse in front of him, the exposed throat, the minced meat, blood and brain matter mixed together, dyeing the clothes dark brown and solidifying the soft cloth into a hard lump, the emperor couldn't hold it back and vomited on the spot.
When Jingzhong and others saw that Xianzong had vomited, they rushed forward together, some calling the emperor "the emperor" and some calling the imperial physician "the imperial physician", and the whole place was in chaos.
"Catch him for me!" Xianzong pushed away the people surrounding him and shouted angrily: "You must catch this assassin for me!" Seeing his close attendants slaughtered in such a brutal manner, Xianzong felt like he was slapped hard in the face. When you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner. This assassin was clearly provoking him!
"I obey your order," the general of the imperial guards knelt down and accepted the order.
"Gu Xinglang might have been injured by this assassin," Emperor Xianzong thought about it and was still angry. The fart was overworked and fainted from exhaustion. Emperor Xianzong now believed that his son-in-law was tricked by this assassin. "Asshole!" Emperor Xianzong cursed: "I must skin this assassin alive and torture him to death!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down," Jingzhong advised Emperor Xianzong.
Xianzong took another look at the headless corpse on the ground, bent down and vomited again.
Jingzhong was busy stroking Xianzong's back to calm him down, and said, "Your Majesty, let us take the body to the Fear of Punishment Department."
Xianzong finally stopped vomiting and said, "Let the Dali Temple Minister bring the criminal officer into the palace and let him investigate."
A eunuch received the order and ran towards the palace gate.
"Get the man away," Xianzong said again.
The four imperial guards hurriedly lifted the corpse from the ground and walked towards the Fear of Punishment Department.
Xianzong took deep breaths of air. If he vomited again, he would vomit out yellow bile, and the imperial meal he had eaten tonight would be in vain.
"Huh?" Just as Xianzong was feeling sorry for the meal he had that night, he heard his daughter's voice, "What are you doing?"
"Bang!" Xianzong hit his head. Life is so painful!
Yu Xiao came closer while talking, looked at her tyrant father, then looked at the things held by the imperial guards, stretched out her hand and lifted the white cloth, saying, "What is this? A corpse?"
Just as Xianzong raised his head to talk to his daughter, Yu Xiaoxiao lifted the white cloth, allowing Xianzong to see the corpse again. This time, Xianzong really began to vomit yellow bile.
"The head has exploded," Yu Xiaoxiao said as she looked at the corpse in front of her, "Was he beaten to death?" She didn't kill anyone, and Wuhuan didn't kill anyone either, and the fire couldn't have burned only the head. Her Royal Highness the Princess intuitively thought that this was done by her tyrant father.
