Chapter 2835 Something is wrong with Yuehua Gate
The prince's screams came one after another, and countless people were shot by arrows and fell in a pool of blood. Although I couldn't see this scene, I could only hear the screams, watch the cold arrows flashing across the sky, and the smell of blood gradually became stronger in the wind.
Zhu Chengxuan still felt a shudder.
It's not that he didn't know how to kill people, but beating Ge Yunli to death was the first time he had ever killed someone in his life. For him, it was already a huge breakthrough.
But no one expected that this imperial concubine, with just one sentence, could cause hundreds of people like the Grand Prince to fall into hell in an instant.
Of course, he will never forget.
His father had fought battles all his life, and the people who died here were only a fraction of the number of heads he had collected.
If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.
But he still couldn't figure out how all this happened?
At this time, the sound of arrows flying outside had become less and less, and the screams slowly turned into the wails of the seriously injured people below before they died. Zhu Chengxuan then stepped over the high threshold and walked towards Nan Yan carefully.
Nan Yan turned around and looked at him.
Especially seeing his pale face and frightened eyes.
Said: "If Your Highness does not want to see it, then don't come over."
“…”
Zhu Chengxuan paused for a moment, took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and slowly walked forward.
What came into view was, just as he had imagined, a picture of hell on earth.
However, the picture in his mind did not have the bright red blood before his eyes, nor did it have the almost pungent smell of blood in the air, nor did it have -
He did not even stand on the roof of Wuying Palace, commanding the archers to control the entire scene. Anyone who dared to go up the stone steps and get close to the imperial concubine would be shot through the heart.
Zhu Chengxuan suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"He Yi?!"
At this time, Gu Tingqiu and Si Muyun, who were slowly walking behind Nan Yan, and other officials heard the voice of King Wei, turned around and looked, all of them were shocked.
"Master Heyi?"
"Why is he there?"
"When were these archers deployed? Why don't we know about it?"
"My Lady, was all of this arranged by you?"
Nan Yan glanced at them calmly and didn't answer immediately. Instead, she turned her head and looked at the miserable faces of the Earthly Immortal Society followers, some of whom were dead or injured, and said coldly, "Of course, this was arranged by me."
“…”
"Do these people actually think that I have transferred all the imperial guards to the Nine Outer Gates for reinforcement, leaving the Imperial City unguarded so they can take advantage and enter?"
“…”
"They knew to let the people of Dian show their unusual movements in advance and draw out the troops of the Outer Nine Gates. Could it be that I, who have been with the Emperor for so long, couldn't I even notice this?"
“…”
Then he spat coldly: "A bunch of idiots!"
“…”
"Such a mob dares to bring their plans to the palace, to attack the Emperor and me? What a foolish dream!"
Zhu Chengxuan gasped.
No wonder when the Imperial Concubine was discussing matters in the cabinet before, she decided to transfer the imperial guards to reinforce the Nine Outer Gates. He Yi asked an extra question, and that question was very simple and direct, and the Imperial Concubine's answer was also simple and direct, to the point that she didn't even think about it.
At that time, he and Ruan Hengzhou were listening on the side, both feeling hesitant.
You know, transferring the guards in the palace is not a trivial matter. It is directly related to the life and death of hundreds of people in the entire palace.
It turned out that Nan Yan and He Yi had not failed to think about this.
On the contrary, they not only thought of it, but also thought of a deeper level, pretending to fall into the trap, making the people of the Earth Immortal Society think that their plan was successful, and then they could attack the palace without any preparation.
And this is the place they have always dreamed of.
But it’s a cemetery!
At this moment, the white marble bricks were covered with the blood of these people. They rolled over and wailed, and no longer had the aggressive look they had when they had just rushed into the palace. On the contrary, some of them who were still half alive were already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Nan Yan and begging for mercy.
“My Queen, please spare my life…!”
Nan Yan just looked at these people coldly, without showing a trace of compassion.
You know, if you really fall into the trap.
If these people really broke into the palace and took control of some things.
I may not even have the chance to beg for mercy, and I may not even have the life to beg for mercy.
Therefore, she would not let these people off easily.
She raised her hand and gestured to the people in the Wenhua and Wuying palaces. Immediately, two teams of people rushed out from behind the hall. They walked to the bottom of the hall and began to detain the injured below.
As soon as they saw these people coming out, especially the leader, everyone suddenly understood.
The team leader was none other than Liang Qiu and Fan Yingyi, two of the four commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Gu Tingqiu said, "So, the Queen has transferred them back."
These people originally appeared in the capital when the Earth Immortal Society appeared. After the emperor obviously discovered the problems of the Earth Immortal Society, he asked them to investigate the mastermind behind the Earth Immortal Society. They had already left the capital.
Nan Yan said: "At a time like this, we naturally have to let them come back."
"But where are they?"
At this moment, Si Muyun, who had been standing behind her, seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Your Majesty kept all the court officials in Wuying Palace last night to work, and didn't let us go back to the rooms in the back to rest. Is it because—"
Nan Yan turned around and looked at him. At this time, probably because the crisis in front of her was resolved, she relaxed a little.
Hearing his brother's words, he even smiled faintly.
Said: "Not bad."
“…”
"After the Jinyiwei entered the palace, I had them wait behind the Wuying Palace, awaiting their opportunity to strike."
Someone asked, "Why didn't Your Majesty tell me?"
Nan Yan looked at them coldly and said nothing.
The person who asked the question seemed to understand something the moment he met the imperial concubine's cold gaze.
The imperial concubine did not completely trust the court officials.
Of course, the actions of these court officials were not worthy of her trust.
Previously, Ge Yunli instigated confrontation between the ministers and the imperial concubine, and everyone thought that his heart was really with the court and the country. However, when his house was searched, they discovered that he, a veteran minister of three dynasties, had actually colluded with the people of the Earth Immortal Society.
As for the rest, let’s not talk about anything else. Just now, a group of people rushed to the Grand Prince and kowtowed to the mob of the Earth Immortal Society.
If they knew about this, this strategy of catching the turtle in the jar would be useless.
Everyone was silent for a long time, and then someone whispered, "Your Majesty... Shengming."
After a while, the battlefield below had been almost cleaned up. The living people were dragged away, and the remaining corpses naturally had to wait for someone to clean up.
At this time, Liang Qiu and Fan Yingyi stepped forward and bowed to Nan Yan: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan asked, "Where's He Yi?"
Liang Qiu said, "Lord Heyi seems to have noticed something unusual happening at Yuehua Gate and has followed them."
"What?!"
