Chapter 430

So the emperor reluctantly suppressed his anger and asked unhappily, "what's the matter?"

Liu Yongzhong had been guarding outside the palace. His clothes were still well dressed and his hair was in perfect order. At this time, his face was pale and his voice was shaking. He came close to the emperor's ear and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, just now there is news from the Jinsheng Palace in front of him that a group of assassins broke into the palace and killed several of his highness in the palace!"

As I mentioned before, the emperor had several sons who had grown up. Because there was no suitable fiefdom, they had never been married, and it was obviously inappropriate to live in the harem. So the emperor found a palace in front of the palace, close to his daily life. After the general repair, he arranged for them to live in it. The name of this palace is Jinsheng palace.

In order to avoid suspicion, not only the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince, who are already adults, have moved in early, but also the fifth, sixth and seventh princes, who are getting older, have moved in last month.

So now, there are seven princes living in Jinsheng palace.

The emperor drank a lot of wine before he went to bed. Now he lifted up half of his body from his warm quilt. When he heard Liu Yongzhong's bad news, he couldn't believe his ears.

"What did you say?" The emperor asked incredulously.

Liu Yongzhong fell to his knees with a plop. He fell to the ground and said nothing.

Yang Meiren, who didn't dare to fall asleep beside the emperor, had long been awakened by the noise. At this time, she shrank in the quilt and didn't dare to say a word.

The emperor's eyes widened. He repeated what Liu Yongzhong had just said in his mind. Suddenly, there was a buzz in his mind. His eyes were red and his quilt was lifted.

"Who's going to report it! Tell him to come in for me! "

There was no need for communication. The emperor's angry voice came out of the door. A bodyguard with deep visible bone wounds and half of his face covered with blood came in shivering.

As soon as the bodyguard looked at his clothes, he knew that his rank was not high, and he seldom saw the emperor, let alone spoke to him.

This time he had the chance to face the emperor, but he would rather not have this chance in his life.

But in the whole Jinsheng palace, the guards whose rank was higher than him had all been killed. He was driven to the shelves, and was just elected by the guards who had few people left to report the whole story to the emperor.

The current tragic situation of the bodyguard is a demonstration of the actual occurrence of the assassination. In front of the emperor's eyes, his face turned black and red. The whole person was like an angry lion, biting his teeth creaking, as if he wanted to choose someone at any time, squeezing a few words out of his teeth.

"Why. No. Back. It's all right

The bodyguard was shivering, bleeding and replying: "it was normal all night. Not long after the shift change at Chou hour (from 1:00 to 3:00 in the morning), a brother called out in a loud voice when he was in the middle of the patrol. The people in the same team thought it was wrong. They took their weapons and went to the neighborhood to see, but they couldn't find anyone. At that time, they thought it was wrong. Our team leader told us to quickly withdraw to your highness to make sure it was safe

The emperor's eyes were fixed on him.

The guard swallowed his saliva and said, "but the person assigned to confirm the safety never came back. The captain took me to the nearest third highness first. As a result, all the guards outside the door fell to the ground and their throats were cut. When he pushed the door, the eunuch and the maid of honor who served inside also died. The third highness lay on the bed and their throats were cut open, and the bed was full of blood, At that time, people were still hot, but there was no sound left. "

Liu Yongzhong threw himself on the ground and listened to the bodyguard's reply, hoping to strangle him.

Let's get down to the point. Can we finish the matter soon? What are you doing with so much care! In front of the emperor to describe in detail how his son was brutally killed in his own home, is too long for his life!

The bodyguard took a breath and continued to speak without looking at people's faces: "then the team leader took me to other Highnesses in a hurry to have a look. The highness, the second highness, the fourth highness and the fifth highness. When we got there, all the people were gone. When the sixth highness was there, his throat was cut, but he was still alive, and his blood could not stop, I went up to cover the wound, but I still couldn't... "

Say here, the tone of bodyguard cannot help choking up.

Liu Yongzhong now knew how the blood on his face came from. Compared with the emperor, he could guess a little. The whole person's breathing voice was heavy.

The bodyguard slowed down a little, because he kept his head down except for looking up at the emperor when he first came in. He didn't see the emperor's terrible face at this time, so he continued: "I covered his Highness's throat and didn't dare to let go, so the captain went out quickly, trying to find someone to call the imperial doctor, but soon after I went out, I heard a sound inside... It was the sound of being pierced. I quickly went out to check. As a result, a man in black who was hiding outside the door stabbed me in the chest. But they seemed to be in a hurry. After stabbing me, they didn't chase me any more, but ran away. I went to the seventh highness to check, and found that the seventh highness also

Then I rushed to the outer hall to report

The emperor insisted on hearing all the bad news. He didn't get angry at the first time, but said to Liu Yongzhong in a calm voice: "is there anything wrong with Jinsheng palace? Liu Yongzhong, you go to order a group of people and go to each hall to check to see if there is any other situation. Be careful not to leak the information. "

Without saying a word, Liu Yongzhong got up neatly from the ground and quietly stepped back out of the door in front of the emperor.

Just now, the Emperor just told him to order people, but he didn't mention where to start. He also specially asked that the information should not be leaked. Liu Yongzhong thought a little and didn't go to the palace guards. Instead, he trotted all the way to the place where the lower eunuchs lived. He chose more than 20 eunuchs who were used to doing rough work and had more strength. He didn't say anything specific, just said that the emperor had some secret arrangements, These people did not ask, they followed Liu Yongzhong honestly.

Liu Yongzhong just listened to the report of the bodyguard who was full of ears in front of the emperor. Regardless of what the bodyguard didn't know, what happened tonight was obviously an extremely efficient assassination.

The guards of Jinsheng palace didn't even know what happened, and they didn't know how many people they were fighting against. They were killed by others under their own eyes.
