Chapter 390 Danger
The two burly and strong-looking old women Liang Yuhe brought with her moved upon hearing the order.
They rushed forward from the left and right, and their big hands like iron clamps tightly grasped Yun Zhi's slender arms and shoulders.
Yun Zhi couldn't break free at all.
She was obviously not expecting this sudden change. She was stunned for a moment, and the pretended innocence on her face froze instantly, and a trace of real surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes.
She looked up at Liang Yuhe with some surprise.
"Aunt?" Liang Qingning was a little confused.
Seeing the smoke getting thicker and thicker, and the scorching flames approaching with crackling sounds...
Liang Yuhe had no time and no need to explain further at this moment.
She glanced at the restrained Yun Zhi, confirming that the old woman had a firm grip, and then said in a deep voice to her two nieces and the old woman:
"Go!"
After saying that, she held Liang Qingyou and Liang Qingning's wrists tightly, one in each hand, and no longer looked at Yun Zhi.
Under the strenuous protection of Wen Tingkuan and the servants of the Wen family, they rushed down the stairs that were shrouded in thick smoke along with the surging crowd of frightened people.
The two maids held Yun Zhi's arms tightly and did not let go no matter how she struggled. They followed her closely as if they were escorting a serious criminal.
In the moat, Su Muyang quickly got ashore, holding Yan Shixu, who was dying and bleeding from his chest and back.
Listening to the earth-shaking explosions and chaotic cries on the shore, and watching the flames and smoke rising into the sky from the Linshui Palace, his eyes almost spit out fire.
Assassinations, explosions, fires...all of these are linked together.
They didn't even notice it at all, what a talent they have!
A group of imperial doctors hurried over and almost pounced on the seriously injured Yan Shixu.
The Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, who had safely evacuated the Linshui Palace, also walked quickly over with the help of palace servants.
"Imperial Physician, please quickly check the emperor's injuries!" The Empress Dowager urged in a trembling voice.
Court Judge He was giving acupuncture to the Third Prince in the Imperial Palace today, so he did not follow them to the moat.
The one who stepped forward to take Yan Shixu's pulse was Wu Junnian.
His fingers rested on the wrist where there was almost no pulse, and his expression instantly became extremely solemn.
Several imperial doctors around him hurriedly tore off Yan Shixu's blood-soaked black suit, revealing the two hideous wounds on his chest and back.
The wound was on the upper left side of the chest. The long sword penetrated and injured the lungs, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Hurry up and get the century-old ginseng to save your life! Golden needles! Hemostatic powder! Use as much as you can!"
Wu Junnian shouted hurriedly, his voice a little out of tune.
He quickly took out the silver needle and pierced several large blood vessels on Yan Shixu's chest to forcibly stop the bleeding.
Another imperial physician pried open Yan Shixu's teeth and stuffed a piece of century-old ginseng slice as thin as a cicada's wing under his tongue.
When the Empress Dowager saw the horrible bloody hole on her grandson's chest and the blood that kept gushing out, her eyes went dark and her body shook violently.
If it weren't for the palace maids beside him holding him tightly, he would have almost fainted on the spot.
She clutched the dragon-headed cane tightly, her nails digging deep into the carved wood, and turbid old tears rolled down her face.
"Xu'er... my Xu'er... you must hold on. Even if it's for Li'er, for the children, you have to hold on."
Her voice was sad and she was sobbing.
Su Muyang was covered in blood and stood guard beside Yan Shixu. His red eyes were fixed on the direction where Luo Yunzhen was tied up, and his teeth were chattering.
The fire in Linshui Palace lit up half the sky red, and the flames danced on his face covered in blood and sweat, making him look even more hideous.
Zhang Sicheng commanded the Imperial Guards to assist the city defense troops in deployment, evacuation, and headcount.
Seven people were seriously injured and thirty-five people were slightly injured, but fortunately no one died.
Wen Tingkuan, Liang Yuhe, and sisters Liang Qingyou and Liang Qingning are all safe and sound.
They looked anxiously at the emperor who was being urgently treated by the imperial physician, and prayed silently in their hearts that he would wake up safely.
The news seemed to have wings, carrying with it the blood and heat of fire, and reached the Pineapple Palace at the fastest speed.
Wen Li'er was sitting beside Tiantian's couch, her fingertips gently brushing her son's forehead, which was slightly damp with sweat from falling into a deep sleep after the acupuncture.
The hurried and messy footsteps came closer and closer, with a sense of panic and fear, breaking the tranquility in the hall.
Liu Qing almost broke open the bedroom door.
Her face was as pale as a ghost, her lips were trembling, and she even forgot to greet him.
"Mother...Mother! Something...something terrible has happened! The moat...The Emperor...The Emperor..."
Wen Li'er's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
She stood up suddenly and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with the emperor? Tell me clearly!"
"The Emperor... The Emperor... was assassinated!"
Liu Qing's voice was filled with tears, and the great fear made it almost impossible for her to speak coherently.
"The assassin... is hiding in the water! General Luo... General Luo suddenly... stabbed the Emperor! It went straight through the Emperor's chest. And... Linshui Palace... also exploded! Half of it burned! The Emperor... the Emperor is seriously injured. The imperial physician... the imperial physician said... said... that he is in imminent danger..."
Liu Qing couldn't say any more, her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
She thought that all her fantasies in recent days had not yet come true, and the emperor was already in danger.
She just felt like she was struck by lightning, and her whole body was numb.
Danger is imminent...
These four words were like an ice cone filled with poison, piercing Wen Li'er's heart and instantly freezing all the blood in her body.
The exquisite curtains before him, his sleeping son, the palace maid whose expression suddenly changed—
Everything lost its color in an instant, spinning, twisting, and collapsing.
A huge feeling of dizziness came over me.
Wen Li'er felt dizzy, her body shook violently and uncontrollably, and her feet felt soft and weak, as if she was stepping on clouds.
"Empress!" Qiu Ying and Hua Zhan held her shaky body tightly on both sides.
Wen Li'er's hand tightly grasped Qiuying's arm, her nails almost digging into the other's flesh, and her knuckles turned white from the force.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When I opened my eyes again, those eyes that always contained the gentleness of spring water now only had the surface of a frozen lake.
Beneath the shattered ice lies surging waves and... deep fear.
And, the forced calmness.
"Prepare the car!"
Wen Li'er's voice squeezed out from between her teeth: "Prepare the fastest carriage immediately! And ask Court Judge He to come over and accompany me to take the Emperor back to the palace!"
Yongtai and Wanan Wanquan rushed over after hearing the news and hurried to prepare the carriage after hearing the instructions.
Wen Lier quickly ordered:
"Madame Qin, Qingmei, Qingzhu, you stay here! Guard the children at all times! Report any unusual movements to me immediately!"
"Yongtai, Qiuying, follow me! Bring a team of guards to clear the way!"
"Hua Zhan, hurry up and chase after Aunt Nangong who left the capital yesterday!"
Everyone bowed in response.
Wen Li'er shook off the support of Hua Huazhan and Qiu Ying and straightened her back.
She didn't even have time to change out of her casual clothes before she strode out.
The hem of her skirt fluttered, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.
