Chapter 2775 The Queen is injured!
Ying Shao said: "But he only obeys the emperor's orders."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan's breathing became heavy again.
But this time she reacted quickly. She immediately raised her head and looked around, then said, "Where's Yufu? Call Yufu over to me."
Tingfu and the others ran out immediately.
Eunuch Yu was outside instructing the young eunuchs serving inside and outside Yonghe Palace to be alert and not slack off in the slightest. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him from inside. He hurriedly turned around and ran in. He saw Nan Yan sitting in a chair, one hand holding the elbow of the other, looking as if in great pain, with cold sweat all over his head.
He hurried over and kowtowed: "My Lady."
"Eunuch Jade,"
Nan Yan said without further ado, "I want you to immediately send a message to the Nine Gates Eunuch Jiang Shan, telling him to close the nine inner and outer gates immediately. Without an imperial decree from the palace, no gates are allowed to be opened again."
“……!”
Hearing this, Eunuch Yu raised his head and looked at her in surprise.
Nan Yan said in a deep voice, "I know that the Nine Gates Eunuchs only obey the Emperor's orders, but now that the Emperor is unconscious, the orders cannot be issued. He is a former Eunuch, so he naturally has to obey Eunuch Yu's arrangements. I can only entrust this matter to you."
After saying that, Nan Yan grabbed her elbow tightly with her uninjured hand.
She looked at Eunuch Yu with a complicated expression on his face, and did not take any action immediately. Her palms were covered in cold sweat.
This was also what Zhu Feng had instructed before.
The Nine Gates were under the jurisdiction of Jiang Shan, the internal official of the Nine Gates. In addition to obeying the emperor's edicts, he also obeyed the orders from the palace, but certainly not everyone in the inner palace could command him.
Zhu Feng only said one sentence at that time - since he is an eunuch, he will naturally obey the orders of the palace.
This is Nan Yan’s guess.
The two people looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Eunuch Yu turned his head again, glanced at the unconscious emperor lying on the bed, and then said in a complicated tone: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether this servant can mobilize the Nine Gates of the Palace, suddenly closing the Nine Gates is a serious matter, and it is probably not something Your Majesty can decide."
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "Eunuch Yu, I know you have to be wary of everyone now, and maybe you also have to be wary of me."
“…”
"But I am doing this, and everything I will do, for the sake of the Emperor and the greater good."
“…”
"Today, the Emperor was assassinated in the Li Mansion. The assassin was a spy from the Kingdom of Neng who had fought against the Emperor and me before the Battle of Beiping City. His assassination of the Emperor was definitely not an isolated incident. The assassination was his mission, but after that, the people behind him must have made even bigger moves."
“…”
"If we don't close the city gates now and keep the danger out while they haven't made any moves, if we really let them break in—"
When she said this, her eyes became even redder.
Gritting his teeth, he said word by word: "This world is over!"
“…”
Eunuch Yu did not speak immediately. His eyes, which seemed a little cloudy due to his old age and were always smiling, now had no trace of a smile. Instead, there was only a deep, sharp scrutinizing gaze like a knife blade that shone through his cloudy pupils as he looked at Nan Yan quietly.
He also looked after Nan Yan.
After an unknown amount of time, Eunuch Yu took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "It's not possible to pass on the message."
“…”
"If he wants to move the Nine Gates without the Emperor's decree, I have to go there myself."
“…”
"Please, Madam, send two men to follow and give me a good horse."
Nan Yan immediately said, "Quick, go get ready!"
The two bodyguards around him immediately ran down.
Nan Yan looked at Eunuch Yu, her whole body dazed. An inexplicable heat flowed from her heart. She said softly, "Thank you, Eunuch Yu."
Eunuch Yu glanced at her and said, "I hope... I didn't trust the wrong person."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Seeing that he finally moved, Nan Yan's heartbeat skipped a beat, and suddenly her whole body became a little weak and she fell back into the chair.
However, just as Eunuch Yu walked out, he ran into King Wei who was running towards him outside the door.
He didn't even have time to greet Eunuch Yu and the others before rushing in. The moment he saw Nan Yan, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, Father—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Zhu Feng lying on the bed beside him.
He was horrified and rushed forward: "Your Majesty!"
As soon as she saw him coming, Nan Yan couldn't help but frowned - it was not that she didn't intend to tell him. After all, the current King of Wei was not only the emperor's eldest son and had absolute authority, but he was also the Jingzhao Yin. He was indispensable to stabilizing the capital.
But, she is not ready yet.
She hopes to do everything she can before facing the child.
But he didn't expect it - of course, he shouldn't have expected it. After all, this child is no longer the timid Prince of Yan who dared not stand up no matter what. With such a heavy atmosphere inside and outside the palace, he must have felt that something was wrong and he must have come to find out what was going on.
By this time, the King of Wei had already rushed to the bedside. Seeing Zhu Feng wrapped in thick bandages, faintly stained with blood, he was so frightened that he dared not breathe. He stared blankly at his father. After a long moment, he turned to look at Concubine Shun and Nan Yan, and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what happened? What happened to my father?!"
Concubine Shun hurriedly stood up and pulled him back, saying softly, "Your Highness, please don't worry."
Nan Yan also came over. At this time, her breath was gentler than before. After all, she didn't want to scare King Wei.
She said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the King of Wei, the Emperor—he was assassinated in the Li Mansion today."
"What? Assassinated?!"
The King of Wei was horrified and his whole body shook.
He slowly turned his head to look at Nan Yan, and said softly with a complicated expression: "Noble Concubine... Lord Li, Lord Li is not, is not he your man?"
“…”
Although Li Bushang was the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, everyone in the court and the country knew that he was picked up by Nan Yan from the border of Yongzhou.
Therefore, everyone automatically regarded him as a noble concubine.
The King of Wei grabbed Nan Yan, his voice trembling: "Why, are you in his house?"
As soon as his hand touched Nan Yan's elbow, she cried out in pain and curled up. Ruoshui and the others around her rushed over: "Your Majesty! Your Highness, the Queen is injured!"
"ah?"
The King of Wei quickly let go of his hand.
At this time, Wang Baizhi also hurried over. When they saw Nan Yan's elbow, everyone gasped in fear.
There were large bruises on her elbows, and even a purple-red spot where the skin had been scraped off. The blood had dried and was stained on her clothes, which was a horrible sight.
