Chapter 5 Blood Wash the Palace

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the stars twinkle all over the sky.

The north wind roared for a few days, and it looked very mild tonight.

Inside and outside the palace, there is tranquility.

In the imperial study, there were bursts of smoke in the incense burner, shining under the rocks, making the whole room faint, like a fairyland.

In the charcoal basin, charcoal occasionally burst into sparks, but it soon fell into peace.

Outside the room, seven or eight little eunuchs were there. Several of them were drowsy, but they were forced to support their bodies.

Several maids of honor lowered their heads and gasped in a low voice for fear of alarming the emperor, who was only separated by a wall.

The so-called companion is like a tiger, especially these slaves who can serve the emperor, who are even more careful.

I'm afraid that if I say the wrong sentence and take the wrong step, I will lose my head.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and walked attentively.

On the dragon book desk more than two meters long, the memorials are piled up like mountains, more than half a height.

He needs to be personally criticized for major events all over the country.

Since the day he ascended the throne, the emperor knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders was.

A slight negligence may lead to a disaster at the local level.

For more than 30 years, although the emperor has been very skilled and experienced in handling government affairs, he is still particularly cautious when reviewing important memorials.

"These bullshit officials are really a book businessman. It's useless!"

Suddenly, the emperor threw the memorial in his hand to the side of Uncle Long's case and was tired on the dragon chair.

At this time, Chen Mo would come up to massage him and relieve his body, but today, no one came.

"Chen Mo, I'm a little thirsty."

The emperor said with his eyes closed.

"I'm going to prepare it for you."

A strange voice came.

The emperor looked back and remembered that it was not Chen Mo who served him, but an apprentice that Chen Mo had been carrying, nicknamed Xiao Lizi, who was Chen Mo's left and right hand.

"How is your master's injury?"

As soon as Xiao Li reached the door, the emperor suddenly asked.

At this moment, Xiao Lizi knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, my master entrusted your majesty Hongfu, and the injury has stabilized. During this period, I have been recuperating.

At that moment, the emperor got up, but he looked at the sky outside the window and sat down again.

"At noon tomorrow, remember to remind me to visit your master. It's late tonight, so I won't go. Go ahead."

The emperor said with a faint smile.

"Yes."

At that moment, Xiao Li got up and retreated to the door. After opening the door, he withdrew carefully, and then slowly closed the door.

The war in the southeast border was tight. After the rebellion of the Nangong family, there were no rear barriers, which made the southeast garriage and attack the enemy.

Now it has been struggling to support it. Once the Nangong family and the sea pirates get together, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

Thinking of this, the emperor also frowned slightly.

This time, unlike the past, the Nangong family is one of the top ten families of the Tianji Dynasty. If he really wants to rebel publicly, it will become a praiyuan trend.

Therefore, the emperor is particularly cautious.

At this time, Xiao Li entered the imperial study with a tray.

Carefully put the tea cup on the table and stepped back.

At this moment, Xiao Li's heart was beating violently, and cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

Success or failure is in this move. As long as the emperor drinks this cup of tea, he will definitely die.

And he can also get the due reward from his master.

The emperor slowly picked up the tea cup. Just as he was about to drink, he heard someone shouting outside the door, "There is an assassin, escort!"

Suddenly, the outside was in a mess.

The alarm bell rang immediately, and the whole palace was in a panic.

The emperor put the tea cup on the table and stood up with a bang.

The palace is closely guarded, and there are few assassins. Even if they are some peerless masters, they are generally unwilling to be enemies of the court.

After all, one person's power to deal with a country, unless there is really the existence of super god, it is a fool's dream.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, more than a dozen imperial troops immediately smashed the door of the imperial study and fell in.

Immediately, more imperial troops rushed to the emperor and blocked the emperor behind him.

"Father, don't drink it. The tea is poisonous."

At this time, Liu Xia suddenly fell to the ground and shouted anxiously.

The emperor was stunned, looked down at the tea cup on his table, and suddenly looked back at Xiao Li.

At each step of his diet and living, there was a special person to test the poison. What he ate and drank were recorded in the daily living.

If someone wants to poison the emperor, it's really a fool's dream.

However, there is another exception, that is, the personal eunuch who serves him can do it.

Xiao Li was only twenty-five years old. Seeing the emperor's sharp eyes, he knelt on the ground with a bang, his face pale and ashes.

When the emperor saw this, he understood everything.

"Recede!"

The emperor immediately waved his hand.

The surrounding royal forest army got out of the way one after another and put the whole imperial study under martial law.

"Doctor Xuan."

The emperor said lightly.

In less than a few minutes, the imperial doctor hurried over. The emperor handed the tea to the imperial doctor and said, "Look, what kind of poison it is."

The imperial doctor carefully opened the tea cup and smelled it, and tried it with a silver needle, but there was no response.

At this moment, the imperial doctor couldn't help frowning.

Liu Xia was also stunned when she saw this.

If Xiao Li is not poisoned, then he will make a scene in the palace tonight, which is difficult to explain.

Once the emperor is suspicious of him, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Father, this is magic poison. Our ordinary poison test methods are imperceptible."

Liu Xia hurriedly added.

"You, go and drink him."

The emperor stretched out his hand and pointed to the little plum and said harshly.

The little plums kneeling on the ground have trembled like sieve bran at this moment.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die."

Little plum kept begging for mercy.

"Hmm?"

As soon as the emperor frowned, the two imperial troops dragged the plum and poured the tea into him.

After taking the poison, the little plum was fine at first.

But after at least a few breaths, the mouth, nose, ears and eyes suddenly overflowed with blood, and strange black runes appeared on the face.

When the imperial doctor saw this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "It's really the poison of the demon clan. This poison has been lost for a long time, and we ordinary people can't configure it. Only the demon clan can refine it successfully with magic breath.

When the emperor heard this, his face turned blue.

Obviously, this is still the work of the demon clan.

At this time, several eunuchs carried Chen Mo into the imperial study.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately fell to his knees and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. It was the slave who looked away. Your Majesty, please punish me."

The emperor calmed down and slowly sat on the dragon chair.

"I think they are all poor people. This time, I originally wanted to give them a chance. It seems that they are thieves. It's okay, Chen Mo."

"I'm here."

"Go ahead, don't leave one."

The emperor said lightly.

Chen Mo was suddenly shocked when he heard this.

He has served the emperor for so many years, and he understands what it means.

That's to kill all the slaves in the palace and replace them with a new batch.

In the whole palace, there are 3,000 eunuchs.

In a word, you have to kill them all.

"Yes."

Chen Mo didn't dare to say anything at this moment. After all, he personally chose the person to serve the emperor.

If there is an accident, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this moment, Chen Mo ordered someone to carry him out.

Liu Xia, who was on one side, was also stunned.

This action will kill 3,000 people, and the emperor's decision to kill is indeed extremely fierce.

Obviously, there is still residual demon strength in the palace.

It takes a lot of time to find them, and there are also leaky fish.

This dragon capital can be chaotic everywhere, and the siege of the palace can't be chaotic, so the emperor has to do it.

Kill this batch and immediately change into a batch. Even if the enemy wants to cultivate internal response, it will take a period of time.

I have to say that if you want to be an emperor, you must be cruel.

Immediately, Liu Xia heard the wind whistle of the imperial army.

In the palace, there was chaos.

Especially in the harem, a large number of imperial troops rushed into the garrisons of the palace maids and drove them out in groups.

Even the empress dowager and the imperial concubine's palace are also in chaos.

In the palace, there were wailing, frightening and scolding, one after another.

I occasionally made one or two sounds and preached to the imperial study, which made people startle.

"Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

Several maids of honor waiting outside the gate of the imperial study were also dragged away by the imperial army. They knew what would happen immediately and cried.

However, as soon as they opened their mouths, they were beaten to death.

The handle of the knife fell on the backs of the maids of honor, and the sound of bones breaking was particularly harsh in the quiet imperial study.

Liu Xia once served as the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, and now she is very glad that she has never participated in such a massacre.

"What? Don't bear it?"

The emperor looked at Liu Xia and looked up and asked.

Liu Xia nodded slightly.

"Well, in the future, there will be few such women's benevolence. Sometimes, your kindness will bring disaster to more people in this country.

The emperor warned.

"However, they are innocent after all."

Liu Xia had been restrained and didn't want to say it, but she still couldn't help saying it.

"There will never be innocent people in this palace."

The emperor said firmly.

Listening to Liu Xia, she was shocked.

"Yes, I remember."

Liu Xia hurriedly held the boxing.

"How did you see through their conspiracy?"

The emperor asked.

"My son, my son is guilty. Break into the palace and ask your father to punish you.

Liu Xia hurriedly hugged his fist and said.

"That's all. It's urgent, and there's nothing you can do. Get up."

The emperor said.

"I would like to ask your majesty for one thing."

Immediately, Liu Xia said.

"Oh? If you let me spare these people, you can go back now.

The emperor frowned.

When Liu Xia heard this, she knew that she could not ask for it, so she said, "Your Majesty, please let your ministers go to the inner treasury. I have a friend who is in danger of injury to save me. If it hadn't been for him, I'm afraid I would have been poisoned at this moment.

The emperor was stunned and nodded, "Go find Chen Mo."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Xia said hurriedly.

Then, he got up and walked out of the gate.

"Hao Xuan."

"I'm here."

Liu Xia hurriedly stopped.

"Your royal palace also needs to be cleaned up."

The emperor reminded.

"Yes."

Liu Xia hurriedly hugged his fist and said.
