Chapter 2772 What happened to the Emperor?
"Someone come!"
Before he could say anything, Nan Yan said in a deep voice, "Arrest everyone in the Li Mansion for me!"
"yes!"
The imperial guards had been standing nearby for a long time. Upon hearing this, they immediately rushed over and arrested Wang Sheng and the surrounding guards. The guards then rushed back in and arrested all the servants who were still busy inside.
Ying Shao stood at the door with a few people and walked up to Li Bushang.
Ying Shao said, "Master Li, I'm sorry."
“…”
Li Bushang didn't say anything, just glanced at Nan Yan.
At this moment, although Nan Yan's eyes were blood red, they seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. She looked at him coldly. Li Bushang silently stretched out his hands and was tied up and taken away by them.
Nan Yan turned and walked inside, ordering, "Leave no one behind. Take them all, including Xie Jiaojiao, to the prison. Watch them and don't let them commit suicide!"
"yes."
"If one of you dies, you will be held accountable!"
"yes!"
At this time, she walked past Jie Shi.
At this moment, Jie Shi seemed to have fulfilled his long-cherished wish. He laughed wildly without any fear. However, when he heard Nan Yan say "Xie Jiaojiao", his expression darkened slightly.
Without waiting for him to say anything, Nan Yan passed by him and left a sentence.
"Chop off his hands for me!"
As she walked in, she heard a shrill scream behind her. It was the imperial guards who raised their swords and slashed. A severed hand flew into the air with gushing blood, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The strong smell of blood soon filled the entire Li Mansion.
Then, it spread to the entire capital.
It was originally a clear and sunny day, but on this day, everyone felt that the day was especially long. The setting sun hung in the sky and did not set until very late.
But what followed seemed like a night that was too long.
That night, the entire city was under martial law.
Originally, everyone was strolling out as usual, and the streets were bustling with people. When acquaintances met and greeted each other, suddenly, several groups of people rushed into the long street, shouting at everyone to go home and impose an immediate curfew. The people in the capital were at a loss, and they hurried back to their homes like frightened birds, closing the doors and windows tightly.
The entire capital city suddenly became quiet, and the wide streets were empty.
Therefore, no one knew that in the dark of night, an imperial team set out from the Li Mansion in Baoningfang and returned to the imperial city cautiously but extremely quickly.
All the concubines in the six palaces, east and west, had vaguely heard what big event had happened today, but they did not dare to discuss it casually. When the time came, they all closed the doors of their respective palaces early.
Only when footsteps were heard in the distance would one or two eunuchs open the door and peek out.
But they saw nothing.
In the quiet Yanx Palace, Concubine Shun Xinqing, who had taken the medicine and was about to lie down to sleep early, suddenly felt her heart beating wildly. She couldn't help but sit up and look outside, but it was dark outside the window and she could hardly see anything.
She couldn't help but ask, "Yilan, is there something wrong outside?"
The maid Yilan was about to lower the curtains beside her bed.
Hearing this, he turned around with some confusion and looked outside.
In the silent night, they heard hurried footsteps approaching and stopping just outside the gate of their Yanx Palace. Then, there was a knock on the door.
The master and servant looked at each other.
Soon, there was a knock at the door. Yilan went to open the door and saw Aunt Tongyun from Yonghe Palace standing outside. She said with a serious expression, "Yilan, the Imperial Concubine asked me to come and talk to the Imperial Concubine Shun."
On weekdays, the relationship between the two palaces is good, and the palace maids and aunts often joke around when they meet.
This was the first time they saw Aunt Tongyun so serious.
Yilan didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly led her over. Aunt Tongyun walked to the bedside, knelt down, and said, "Empress Shun, the Imperial Concubine asked me to come here and ask Empress Shun to go to Yonghe Palace immediately."
As soon as she saw her coming, and it was so late, the palace gates were already closed, Concubine Shun immediately felt something was wrong.
She asked, "What happened?"
Aunt Tongyun said, "Your Highness, go ahead and you'll know when you get there."
“…”
Concubine Shun frowned and looked at her.
Then he immediately lifted the quilt and said to Yilan, "Come and help me get dressed."
Yilan came forward, supported her with some concern, and said softly: "My queen, you just drank the medicine..."
Concubine Shun had caught a cold before and had been taking medicine recently. The medicine made her a little sleepy, so she went to bed early after taking the medicine at night. But now she suddenly had to go to Yonghe Palace again, and she was worried that Concubine Shun could not hold on.
But before she could finish her words, Xinqing said in a deep voice, "Don't talk too much. Hurry."
"……yes."
So, Aunt Tongyun helped Yilan to put on clothes for Concubine Shun, and then accompanied Concubine Shun out. When they arrived at the gate of Yanx Palace, Xinqing found that there were several young eunuchs standing there, holding lanterns and waiting for her.
Everyone's face looked very serious.
She didn't say anything and just followed them.
The Yanxi Palace is not far from the Yonghe Palace, and it is just a few steps away.
Here, the door is closed.
Outside the gate, there was already a group of people standing. Xinqing looked and saw that they were all imperial guards. For some reason, they all came to Yonghe Palace so late at night.
She felt something was wrong, and even her heartbeat quickened.
Aunt Tongyun walked forward with a lantern and knocked on the door. The door opened, and the whole Yonghe Palace was brightly lit. The new Concubine Shun was led in by them. As soon as she entered the main hall, she smelled a strong smell of blood and a bitter smell of medicine.
"This is--"
Concubine Shun was startled and immediately turned to look at the inner room. She saw that the layers of curtains had been drawn. She could vaguely see many people standing by the bed: several doctors from the Imperial Hospital, Eunuch Yu and Xiao Shunzi who were beside the emperor, and -
Imperial Concubine Si Nanyan.
Aunt Tongyun walked up to her and said softly, and Nanyan immediately turned around: "Sister Shunfei, you are here."
When she saw her appearance, Concubine Shun was shocked again.
There was blood and traces of tears on the face of the imperial concubine, making her look ferocious and miserable. Her eyes were bloodshot and red. When Concubine Shun saw her, she suddenly shuddered.
She said in a hoarse voice: "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Yan walked over and grabbed Concubine Shun's hand.
Her hands were burning hot.
Concubine Shun was startled by the temperature, but subconsciously raised her head and looked at the bed inside, and her eyes widened in shock.
Zhu Feng was lying on the bed.
He was covered in blood, his face was pale, and he seemed to be completely silent.
For a moment, Concubine Shun's breath was choked. Her throat was blocked and she trembled, "What happened to the emperor?"
