Chapter 300
Within just half a day, dozens of palace maids and chambermaids in the Pepper Room Hall died
Blood seeped into the cracks of the masonry, and after being washed away with water, there were still shocking traces of blood
The entire Pepper Room Hall is permeated with an eerie and chilling bloody atmosphere, which is frightening and chilling
The rest of the palace maids and chambermaids were either put into the heavenly prison, or guarded by the guards in the house
One by one, pale and dull gaze, eyes full of despair
In the Emperor’s anger, Yu Chun and a few other chamberlains have long been secretly executed
According to the emperor’s mind, only they will be broken into pieces a thousand cuts in order to get out of the heart of the evil spirit
But this shocking scandal for the royal family, is a great shame
He would never allow this matter to spread
In that case, he could only secretly execute Yu Chun and the others
The Emperor had not eaten for a day
The original exuberant anger had calmed down slightly after burning for a night and a day
The color of his face was still gloomy
Eunuch Ding carefully whispered in a consoling voice: ”His Majesty has not eaten for a day, if it goes on like this, it will hurt the dragon body
I will order the Imperial Catering Room to make some well-digested meals and send them over, so even if the Emperor has no appetite, he will still eat a little”
The Emperor frowned and reluctantly gave a hmmm
Eunuch Ding breathed a sigh of relief and was busy passing down orders
Soon, the Imperial Catering Room sent the meals over
Delicate and delicious dishes were placed on the table one by one, hot and fragrant
Until this moment, the Emperor did not feel his stomach was empty and hungry
Pick up chopsticks, pick up a mouthful into the mouth, but the taste is like chewing wax without flavor, hard to force themselves before swallowing
Eunuch Ding saw the emperor finally willing to eat, heart secretly happy, raised a few times carefully stood aside to wait for the emperor to eat
Eunuch Huang of the Ceremony Room was also trembling with fear and trembling
Heart secretly pray that the emperor do not investigate this matter, otherwise, inevitably have to ask to his body
To know, last night, but he advised the emperor quietly to the Pepper Room Hall to
In case the emperor is angry, his life is also difficult to protect
Wei too doctor to his favor, he has long been secretly for Wei too doctor
When he received the message from Dr Wei secretly, he did not hesitate to follow the order
He was also prepared for things to be exposed, however, if he could save his life, it would be better
Also fortunately, the emperor was in a bad mood and had no time to ask about this, Eunuch Ding and others were also silent, since the ancient times are still flawless, and could not care less about observing how Eunuch Huang’s face
At a time like this, no one dared to mention half a word about Empress Xu
A guard walked in and quickly went to Eunuch Ding’s side to whisper a few words
Eunuch Ding frowned and hesitated for a moment
The Emperor swept his gaze and asked in a deep voice, “What’s going on?”
Eunuch Ding replied in a low voice, “Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has arrived outside the Pepper Room Hall with Consort Yan, saying that he wants to visit the Empress”
The emperor heard the name of the Yan Wang couple, his complexion was suddenly cold: “You go out on behalf of me and say, just say that Empress Xu has been stricken with an acute illness, and is now recuperating on the couch, and it is not appropriate to see anyone”
After a pause and said coldly: “You pass my words, let Yan Wang these days in the house to stay well, do not have to worry about the matter in the palace”
Eunuch Ding answered and busily retreated
Yan Wang and Yan Wangfei stood outside the Pepper Room Hall and waited for a few moments before Eunuch Ding arrived
Eunuch Ding was the chief chamberlain by the side of the Emperor, waiting for the Emperor’s food and clothing
Even the unruly and wanton Yan King was exceptionally polite to Eunuch Ding, immediately welcoming him forward: ”Eunuch Ding, I wonder how is the situation of the Queen Mother now?
This king would like to go in and visit the empress now, will father allow it?”
Eunuch Ding smiles apologetically, “Your Highness, King Yan, is so polite, I am ashamed
The Empress Mother fell ill last night and is now lying on her couch
His Majesty was worried in his heart and personally came to the Pepper Room Hall to accompany the Empress
The Emperor also ordered his slave to pass on a message asking His Highness King Yan to return to his residence without worrying about the Empress Dowager”
Yan Wang’s heart sank
Although Eunuch Ding’s words were euphemistic, the implication was very clear!
His father was warning him that he was no longer allowed to ask about the matters in the Pepper Room Hall
If he insisted on staying, not only would he not be able to intercede for the Queen Mother, he would also anger the Father Emperor!
After weighing the situation in his heart, Yan Wang quickly made a decision and said in a low voice, ”Thank you, Eunuch Ding
Since father has said so, this king will immediately return
Please ask Eunuch Ding to speak to Father Emperor on my king’s behalf, asking him to take care of his dragon’s health”
Eunuch Ding answered with a smile on his face
Only after King Yan and his wife turned to leave did the smile on Eunuch Ding’s face subside
Under the Emperor’s wrath, it was inevitable that it would spread to King Yan
There was no telling how many storms would be stirred up inside and outside the palace
The sky gradually darkened
The Pepper Room Hall was still brightly lit everywhere
The guards guarded the Pepper Room Palace exceptionally, with long knives hanging from their waists, their eyes vigilantly looking around
In Empress Xu’s chambers, there were also several candlesticks burning
The brightly shining light illuminated the chamber brightly
Empress Xu sat on her bed, her expression wooden, her face without a trace of blood color
Empress Xu, who had always emphasized on grooming, had long messy hair at this time, and the dress she was wearing was rubbed out of shape
This is the dress that was taken off last night
Her whole body was naked, so she could only put it back on haphazardly
All the palace maids in the bedchamber were under house arrest, and there was no one around her
Outside the door stood a few expressionless guards
It had been a whole night and day
To her, this was a nightmare that had caught her off guard!
Yu Chun was dead
Dead right in front of her eyes, dead by the bed
The Emperor, with a fury on his face and rage in his eyes, personally stabbed Yu Chun to death with a long knife
I don’t know how many times he stabbed Yu Chun, Yu Chun screamed one after another
The emperor ordered that no one was allowed to move Yu Chun’s body
She just sat on the edge of the bed and watched Yu Chun take his last breath, the blood from his body flowed horizontally, almost coloring the ground red
The smell of blood in the room overflowed her nostrils
This must be hell on earth!
Those who hadn’t experienced it would never know how terrifyingly frightening it was!
It wasn’t until an hour ago that someone finally pushed open the door to the dormitory and dragged Yu Chun’s body out
The blood all over the ground was also washed away
The smell of blood, however, kept lingering
This must be a nightmare!
All of this was unknown to be true!
After she woke up from a nap, everything was fine
She repeated these words in her mind and forced herself to close her eyes
Yu Chun’s cold and iron face kept swaying in front of her eyes, and her miserable cries before dying kept echoing in her ears: ”Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life, it’s all because the Empress forced the slave to do this, the slave was forced to do this” The corners of her eyes were overflowing with strings of teardrops, and the body’s Chilliness, swiftly spread to the whole body, cold and desperate
Just at this moment, the door was violently pushed open
