Chapter 611: Palace Change (Part 2)
The two concubines felt their scalps tingling and their bodies kept shrinking back.
They don't want to be the first to die in vain.
Right at this moment.
Qin Zhong, dressed in military uniform, strode in.
He was holding a bloody head in his hand.
"No need to choose, I've already killed him."
After he said that, he threw the head in his hand to the ground.
The head rolled twice on the ground and happened to roll in front of Concubine Ning.
Even though the head was covered in blood beyond recognition, Concubine Ning still recognized it at a glance and screamed in surprise.
"My son!"
Then her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
Empress Xian was startled at first, and then she began to worry. She wondered where the fifth prince was now and whether he had fallen into the hands of the rebels.
Concubine Ning really couldn't stand up, so she could only crawl over using her hands and feet, pick up the head, and cry heartbreakingly.
Concubine Rou was so frightened that she was shaking all over and could hardly stand.
Luo Yunxuan hurriedly supported her.
Xie Chuxue took the initiative to say, "I'll help Concubine Rou go to the side hall to rest."
Luo Yunxuan knew that his mother was timid and it was not appropriate for her to see him in this kind of situation, so he nodded.
"Thank you."
Xie Chuxue helped the limp Roupin to the side hall.
The emperor was so angry that his chest heaved violently and his face turned purple.
He stared at Luo Yunxuan and asked with difficulty.
"He is...your own brother. Can you bear to watch...him being killed?"
Luo Yunxuan avoided the emperor's gaze, looked away, and whispered: "It wasn't me who killed him, it's just...just his bad luck."
Qin Zhong grinned, his tone full of malice.
"Your Majesty, now you know that brothers should not kill each other. When you were fighting for the throne and murdering other princes, did you ever think that they were your brothers? As the saying goes, like father, like son. Isn't it that King You learned from your Majesty to be where he is today?!"
The emperor was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath and started coughing violently, almost coughing out his entire lung.
Gan Fu quickly patted his back to calm him down.
Xie Chuxue took out the second incense stick and was about to light it when she heard Qin Zhong speak impatiently.
"Don't waste time. Just capture all the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace and kill them one by one in front of the emperor. I don't believe that he will not compromise."
The emperor shouted hoarsely, "How dare you?!"
Qin Zhong sneered and said, "We have even killed the prince, what else are we afraid of?"
When Concubine Ning, who was still immersed in grief, heard this, she suddenly got up and rushed towards Qin Zhong like a madman.
"I will kill you. I want to avenge my son!"
However, before she could touch Qin Zhong, Qin Zhong had already drawn the sword from his waist.
A knife stabbed through Concubine Ning's chest.
Blood spurted out.
Empress Xian covered her mouth, opened her eyes wide, froze in fear, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Qin Zhong drew back his knife.
Concubine Ning fell in a pool of blood, her eyes wide open, her body twitching slightly and gradually becoming cold and stiff.
The emperor was so angry at Qin Zhong's audacious behavior that he vomited blood and then fainted.
Prince Xiling sent someone to call the imperial physician over.
The emperor cannot die until the military token is found.
The imperial physician came hurriedly.
He was frightened at first by the corpse on the ground, but quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer, and tremblingly gave the emperor acupuncture.
Luo Yunxuan looked at the unconscious emperor and asked in a low voice.
"Uncle, what if my father insists on not handing over the military token?"
King Xiling said slowly.
"If it really comes to that, we will have no choice but to kill all your brothers and leave you as the only prince.
When the emperor dies, the throne can only be inherited by you.
Wait until you ascend the throne and become emperor, then find a way to slowly find the military token.
Anyway, the military talisman must be hidden in this palace. We can find it as long as we spend more time. "
When Luo Yunxuan heard this, he felt a chill in his heart, but when he thought of the throne that was within his grasp, he suppressed the guilt in his heart and nodded silently.
Concubine Xian also heard what Prince Xiling said.
She fell to her knees with a thud.
"My Lord, Minister Qin, I beg you, please don't kill the Fifth Prince! If you are worried about him, you can send him to a faraway place or even demote him to a commoner!"
However, no one paid attention to her pleas.
Qin Zhong thought she was too noisy and stabbed her directly.
Looking at the fallen Concubine Xian, Prince Xiling frowned and said, "Are you addicted to killing?"
Qin Zhong shook off the blood on the knife and said with a smile.
"After this is done, these people will all die anyway, sooner or later, so why not send them off sooner rather than later, and save them from further fear."
Prince Xiling was already feeling unwell, and now when he smelled the strong smell of blood, he felt even more uncomfortable.
He looked at the still unconscious emperor and asked.
"How long will it take for him to wake up?"
The imperial physician replied with a trembling voice, "It will take at least half an hour."
King Xiling asked him to hurry up, then stood up and went out to get some fresh air.
Luo Yunxuan didn't want to stay with the corpses, especially since those corpses were people he was familiar with, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
He was going to the side hall to visit Concubine Rou.
Qin Zhong still had things to do, so he left a group of men to guard the bedroom, and then strode out in big strides.
All the guards in the Weiyang Palace had been killed.
The palace maids and eunuchs were divided into two groups.
The submissive part was imprisoned collectively.
Those who resisted were all killed.
The entire Weiyang Palace seemed to be immersed in a sea of blood, with corpses with miserable looks of death everywhere.
Qin Zhong didn't even look at the corpses. He stepped on the sticky blood with his boots and strode out of the Weiyang Palace.
He ordered the Qin army to search for concubines, princes and princesses. As long as they were caught, dead or alive, they would be rewarded heavily!
Tonight the palace no longer has the solemnity and tranquility of the past.
It became a hunting ground for the rebels.
All the concubines, princes and princesses who had lived a life of luxury in the past became prey in the eyes of the rebels.
They fled in all directions, trying to avoid being hunted by the rebels.
There were cries of despair everywhere.
Compared with playing power games, Qin Zhong prefers this kind of intuitive bloody excitement.
He originally just wanted to watch, but later he became itchy and couldn't help but draw his sword and join in the hunt.
After leaving Weiyang Palace, Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan were preparing to go to Yaohua Palace to visit Concubine Hui, but they discovered traces of the rebels halfway.
The other side had more people and more power, so Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan didn't dare to confront them head-on and could only find a place to hide first.
After the rebels left, the two hurried to Yaohua Palace.
Along the way they discovered that the number of rebels was very large, even greater than the number of the Guards.
Judging from the rampant posture of those rebels, the Imperial Guards must have been destroyed.
Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan carefully avoided the rebels and hurried all the way, but they were still a step too late.
The rebels have already stormed into Yaohua Palace.
