Chapter 520 We Are Here to Save You
After turning a corner, there was already a faint light ahead, and He Zhiran put the flashlight into the space.
As the stench grew stronger, the two men appeared in front of Emperor Shunwu.
In the dim light, it can be seen that it is a square room.
The room was filled with items that He Zhiran couldn't name, but from their shapes, he could determine that they were ancient torture instruments.
Judging from these torture instruments, this is where the queen set up lynchings.
Opposite them, on a wooden cross, Emperor Shunwu was wearing only his underwear, with his limbs tied tightly.
In the corner next to him, there was a corpse. Needless to say, it must be the Queen Mother's corpse.
I didn't expect the queen to be so cruel that she wouldn't even let an old woman go. Not letting her go while she was alive would be fine, but she was so undignified even after her death. You have to know that this was the Empress Dowager of the Dashun Dynasty...
Emperor Shunwu raised his head with great effort, trying his best not to let his messy hair block his vision.
After seeing that the people coming were all strangers, he was stunned for a moment.
Just when he was about to say something, He Zhiran had already taken out the silver needle from the space.
Because she knew that Emperor Shunwu was immune to all poisons, and that drugs would be of no use to him. Therefore, before Emperor Shunwu could react, her silver needle had already been inserted into his acupoint of sleepiness.
After making sure that the other person was unconscious, Mo Jiuye quickly stepped forward and untied the ropes on him.
The couple cooperated well with each other. When Emperor Shunwu was about to collapse to the ground, He Zhiran waved his hand and sent him into the space.
Just now, Mo Jiuye only knocked out a few palace guards in the Queen's Palace. In this extraordinary period, she couldn't be so careless as to leave only a few people to guard the night.
If someone comes out to change shifts or do other things and finds that those people are all knocked unconscious, it will be difficult for them to leave quietly.
What's more, the main purpose of Mo Jiuye and Yue He Zhiran coming here tonight was to find the whereabouts of Emperor Shunwu. Now that the person has been found, there is no need to stay here for the time being.
Mo Jiuye glanced around again and saw that there were no useful clues in the secret room, so he pulled He Zhiran away quickly.
Fortunately, they were fast. As soon as they left the queen's bedroom, they heard someone inside shouting, "Come here!" There was no doubt that the unconscious palace maids had been discovered.
There will definitely be chaos in the palace later, and they must find a relatively safe place to hide.
After careful consideration, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran decided to temporarily hide in the cold palace.
According to Mo Jiuye, because the queen's family background was powerful and jealous, Emperor Shunwu did not have many women in his harem.
Even if there were a few concubines who made mistakes, they would have been executed by the queen's men long ago, without even the chance to be sent to the cold palace.
It can be said that during the many years that Emperor Shunwu was in power, the cold palace was useless and no one had ever entered it.
Not only that, the location of the cold palace is extremely remote. Even if the queen's people go to search, they will not be able to find it in a short time, and they may not even remember the place where the cold palace is.
With an idea in mind, Mo Jiuye took He Zhiran and avoided the patrol team's sight all the way and successfully arrived at the cold palace.
The cold palaces in history were all dilapidated, and this place was no exception. Especially since no one had taken care of it for decades, the weeds on the ground were more than a person's height, which made it easier for them to hide.
The two of them randomly entered a room, and as soon as they opened the door, they felt countless spider webs in front of them.
Mo Jiuye pulled a handful of weeds and waved them as he walked forward.
Although it is relatively safe here, they dare not rashly create any light.
The two of them groped to a place that looked like a bed. He Zhiran moved his mind, and Emperor Shunwu, who was still in a coma, lay straight on it.
He Zhiran took out the silver needles again and pricked several acupuncture points on him. Soon, Emperor Shunwu woke up.
Emperor Shunwu sensed the change in the environment and sat up alertly.
Although the pitch-black darkness hindered his vision, Emperor Shunwu still felt that there were two dark shadows standing in front of him.
"Who are you?"
It has to be said that as an emperor of a country, although he was a little stupid, he did not lose his due momentum.
He Zhiran knew that once Mo Jiuye opened his mouth, it would be easy for Emperor Shunwu to hear him, so she spoke first:
"We are here to rescue you."
He Zhiran didn't have a good impression of Emperor Shunwu, so his tone was naturally not very good.
Although Emperor Shunwu was unhappy with the tone, he was not stupid and knew that this was not the time to put on airs.
"Who asked you to rescue me?"
"You don't need to know who it is. I just want to know what happened in the palace. It will be good for you if you tell the truth." He Zhiran was still very rude. There was no need to be polite to such a foolish emperor.
Emperor Shunwu was unable to determine the identities of the two people, but he knew in his heart that this might be his only chance to turn the tables.
"It was my carelessness that led me to fall into the trap of that bitch."
After a pause, Emperor Shunwu continued:
"Not long after the Queen adopted the Fourth Prince, I noticed that the guards around me had been replaced. When I was about to call someone to question them, those guards abducted me without explanation and imprisoned me in that dark place."
"Don't you know where you are being held?" He Zhiran asked.
"Because when I was captured just now, I tried to call for help, but was knocked unconscious by those people. When I woke up again, I was in the place where you rescued me today."
He Zhiran nodded and motioned him to continue.
"Later I discovered that the people who took me away were actually sent by the Queen.
Before I was arrested, I had a dream that my imperial seal was lost. I was worried that the dream would come true, so I hid the seal.
Thanks to this dream, the Queen's men were unable to find the seal, allowing me to survive."
"Don't worry, we have no interest in your imperial seal. The court is now basically controlled by Prime Minister Xue. If you want to take back the Dashun dynasty, you can't just sit there and wait for death." He Zhiran reminded.
"I now hate the Queen and her people with all my heart. If I can restore order to the court, I will definitely cut them into pieces."
"There's no point in you saying these harsh words to us. You have to take concrete action." He Zhiran said with some disdain.
This kind of thing cannot be accomplished just by talking about it, especially now that most of the court is controlled by the Xue family. How can it be so easy to take it back?
Emperor Shunwu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "As long as they can't get the imperial seal, they will never become emperor in this lifetime.
Even if the Queen adopts the Fourth Prince, it will be of no use without my imperial edict."
