Chapter 2836 Bloodstained Yonghe Palace 1
Liang Qiu said, "Lord Heyi seems to have noticed something unusual happening at Yuehua Gate and has followed them."
"What?!"
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Zhu Chengxuan, who was standing by, was a little dazed at first after hearing this - after all, he hadn't slept the whole night, and he had just experienced a life-or-death situation. Everyone was a little dizzy, and when he heard the three words "Yuehuamen", he was even a little unable to react.
But the next moment, his breath was choked.
Yuehua Gate!
The door to the harem!
Just now when they were retreating from Nangong Gate, he asked Nan Yan whether they wanted to retreat into the harem. In fact, at that time, he had not even mentioned the three words "Yuehua Gate", but Nan Yan directly and firmly said that the Yuehua Gate must not be opened.
Although everyone was in a panic at that time, he also heard the hidden meaning.
The Yuehua Gate cannot be opened.
We cannot give the people from the Earthly Immortal Society the chance to enter the harem.
Zhu Chengxuan understood even more clearly that she had to protect the emperor who was seriously injured in bed, Concubine Shun in Yonghe Palace, and his younger brothers and sisters.
Even, everyone in the harem.
She wanted to get rid of all these people in front of the hall - although at that time, no one knew her arrangements and plans, but now, she has done it.
However, something strange happened in Yuehua Gate!
Zhu Chengxuan immediately turned to look at Nan Yan: "Your Highness!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Nan Yan rushing down the stone steps with her dress in hand. Everyone around was stunned. Although the area below had been controlled by the Jinyiwei, the battlefield had not been completely cleared after all, and there might not be no danger.
However, Nan Yan didn't care at all.
The people behind her were calling out to her and trying to catch up, but they were too late. Nan Yan took two steps at a time and strode down the stone steps. The flowing blood immediately dyed her embroidered shoes and the hem of her skirt red, but Nan Yan didn't care about the bloody smell around her.
She strode through the mud and blood, heading straight towards Yuehua Gate.
Liang Qiu and the others followed immediately.
When they arrived in front of Yuehua Gate, everyone was stunned.
The door was slammed open.
The broken bolt and shattered door panel hung diagonally on the threshold. Looking around, there were several corpses lying in a mess in the long alley behind the gate. They were all young palace maids and eunuchs serving in the harem.
They probably heard the noise here, so they rushed over.
But he died tragically at the hands of the rioters.
Their faces even retained the terrified expression before death, their eyes wide open looking at the sky, but they were already lifeless.
Those people broke through the Yuehua Gate and entered the harem!
Zhu Chengxuan felt like his heart was about to break.
"Father!"
He shouted and rushed through the door.
"King Wei, be careful!"
Nan Yan wanted to catch him, but the child was extremely anxious and ran faster than anyone else, so she couldn't catch him at all. She stamped her feet and turned around and said, "Stop him for me!"
Everyone was still a little dazed, but Liang Qiu and Fan Yingyi reacted quickly and immediately rushed forward to stop Zhu Chengxuan.
He got anxious and turned to Nan Yan and said, "Why don't you let me go?"
Nan Yan stepped forward and said gravely, "It's not that I can't let you go, but I can't let you walk in front!"
“……!”
Zhu Chengxuan's breath hitched.
Although Nan Yan was so anxious that she didn't care about her life when she just heard that Yuehua Sect was breached, she now calmed down. Her eyes were bloodshot but her gaze was cold.
That kind of calmness is a bit like his father.
Even when Nan Yan spoke, her voice gave people the feeling that she was gritting her teeth and suppressing something.
She said, "You are the emperor's legitimate son. You must never take risks at any time."
“…”
"I won't allow you to take any risks."
When the people around heard this, their hearts sank.
Although Nan Yan was only talking about King Wei, everyone could hear that Yuehua Sect was forced to surrender. Those mobs from the Earthly Immortals Society had probably already rushed into the harem. No one knew what the emperor was like now.
If it really is——
The King of Wei was indeed the most important person in the Great Yan Dynasty and the foundation of the country.
The imperial concubine must protect him!
Zhu Chengxuan seemed to understand. His eyes were red and burning, almost tears welling up, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it, saying in a deep voice: "My Lady..."
Nan Yan said: "If you want to go, just follow me!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Zhu Chengxuan to say anything else, she waved her sleeves and turned to walk forward.
Everyone followed immediately, and Liangqiu and Fan Yingyi also stayed beside the King of Wei very obediently. The troops on both sides stood on both sides, vowing to protect them.
Along the way, they saw more corpses.
Blood flowed on the originally clean bluestone road. As Nan Yan walked along, the bloody footprints became deeper and deeper.
Her heartbeat became heavier and heavier.
At this moment, her head felt swollen and painful, almost bursting with pain. But at the same time, a voice, a voice she was all too familiar with, her own, spoke in a deep voice beside her ear: Don't worry, everything will be fine...
After a while, we arrived at Yonghe Palace.
No other places were attacked, except the road from Yuehua Gate to Yonghe Palace, which was covered with corpses and blood. It could even be said that they came to Yonghe Palace along those corpses and bloodstains.
This can only mean one thing—
Someone led the mob.
And their target is not any place or any person in the harem.
There is only Yonghe Palace.
Only the person from Yonghe Palace!
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and walked faster and faster. When she was near the gate of Yonghe Palace, she stumbled several times and almost fell to the ground.
Zhu Chengxuan behind her also staggered and reached out to support her.
At this time, they arrived at the gate.
As soon as I got closer, I saw a large pool of blood at the gate.
Even on the walls.
The blood gathered little by little and flowed down in streams. Some of it seeped into the ground below, mixed with the earthy smell of mud, which made people want to vomit.
An even stronger smell of blood wafted out from the half-open gate of Yonghe Palace.
Even when the sunlight shone through the half-open door, they could see countless blood dust flying in the strong light.
At this moment, the blood and dust suddenly became chaotic.
Because Nan Yan suddenly rushed forward and pushed open the half-open door. The two doors hit the walls on both sides, making a loud "clang" sound, like thunder, which made everyone around tremble.
Nan Yan rushed in at once.
"Empress!"
The people behind him were horrified.
If, if it was really as she thought when she wanted to stop King Wei, no one knew what had happened, or even what was going on.
She barged in like this—
Everyone followed.
As soon as they entered Yonghe Palace and saw the scene inside, everyone was stunned.
