The sky was getting bright, and the clouds gradually gathered directly above the capital, turning the dim light into dim darkness. In the messy complex of buildings behind the palace, the eunuchs and maids who were resting were still turning over in their sleep, but some of them had already woken up.
Hong Zhu tried his best to slap his own face one after another, trying to keep himself calm with this action. He was not on duty in the East Palace today, so he was not killed by the eunuchs and guards. However, even if he lived in the courtyard of Huanyifang, he still felt scared and didn't know what he was going to face next.
A sudden sound came from outside the courtyard. Although it didn't wake up the sleeping people, Hong Zhu rushed to the window in fright, holding tightly in his sleeve the poison-feeding dagger that Fan Xian gave him for self-defense. Prepare to fight to the death with those who come to silence them.
If you fight hard, you will naturally die, but if you don't fight hard, you will be caught without a fight. Little Hong Gonggong, who is as stubborn as a scholar in his heart, will not do anything.
His hands were trembling, and his ears were pressed against the door, listening to the sounds outside the courtyard, there were groans and wailing sounds from time to time, but those sounds only sounded for a few moments, and then disappeared immediately.
His face was extremely pale, and he knew that someone was killing people outside. The eunuchs and maids living in Huanyifang were basically servants of the East Palace and Guangxin Palace. Of course, Hong Zhu was well aware of everything that happened outside. For what reason, he clenched the dagger tightly and bit his lip so nervously that he didn't notice the small cut in his lip.
I don't know when those people will come to kill me.
I don't know if I can fight to death alone.
Hong Zhu nervously waited for the arrival of death.
…
…
However, I don't know how long it took, but still no one came to knock on Hong Zhu's courtyard door. Gradually, the movement in the clothing workshop also disappeared, and the courtyard returned to calm.
Hong Zhu swallowed his slightly fishy saliva, looked out nervously through the crack of the door, and found that there was no one outside. He wanted to open the door and go out to see what happened, but his body had already been stiffened by fear, and he couldn't move for a long time.
He knelt down and rubbed his ankles, mustered up all his courage, pushed the door and walked to the street of Huanyifang, looked around in a daze, and found that the doors of the residences of the little eunuchs and maids not far away were closed. What an exception.
He walked outside a courtyard, and stretched out his hand carefully to push.
The door was not latched, it opened with a push.
Hong Zhu looked at the yard in front of him, the paleness on his face became more intense, and even his lips began to glow blue.
He didn't see corpses all over the yard, but he saw a few puddles of blood in an inconspicuous corner, and the yard was empty, no one was there.
It must be the same in other courtyards. The eunuchs and maids in these courtyards have been killed by His Majesty's order, and even the corpses were dragged to some hidden place and burned under the cover of darkness before dawn.
His Majesty's hands are indeed bloody.
…
…
Hong Zhu exited the empty courtyard a little stupidly, and stood in the deserted alley of Huanyifang. He didn't understand why those people didn't come to kill him. Intertwined in his heart, making his whole body tremble.
Click!
In the depths of the dark clouds in the sky, a bright light shone, and it was fleeting. The rumble of thunder spread throughout Kyoto and the countryside in the surrounding areas of Kyoto. Immediately after the strong wind, countless raindrops fell on the ground accompanied by the wind and thunder. .
Hong Zhu stood in the heavy rain, letting the rain wash over his face and wet his thin clothes. After a long time, he came back to his senses, tightly holding the life-saving dagger, and returned to his small courtyard Among them, the wooden door was closed tightly, and he dared not open it again.

"Father, why is this!" The prince glared at his father with a kind of anger that is rarely seen in ordinary times, and shouted loudly: "Why!"
Emperor Qing didn't answer his words, but just stared at the empress' distraught face, put his hands behind his back, slowly lowered his head, and put his face next to the empress's.
The queen's body trembled for no reason. Seeing the middle-aged man whom she was most familiar with, loved and hated the most approached her, she saw clearly the black-edged golden dragon robe on his body, and clearly saw the black and white dragon robe on his body. The pattern of the golden thread smelled the other person's body, but he couldn't see the expression on the man's face clearly, and he couldn't see the hidden mood behind that expression.
Many years have passed, but the queen has never seen the emperor clearly.
Her body trembled again. It was obvious that the Empress was afraid of His Majesty the Emperor from the bottom of her bones.
The emperor clung to her ear and said softly, "You have taught me a good son."
The queen was stunned for a moment, she didn't know why such a terrible thing happened in the Qing palace today, and now she heard the emperor's words, and then realized that it had something to do with the prince, but the prince has been so stable recently, what trouble could it cause? ? Especially after hearing the emperor's words, the empress became agitated with a unique female emotion, and shouted in a shrill voice: "My son? Isn't it your son?"
The answer to the queen was a crackling sound. The emperor slowly withdrew his palm, looked at the queen who was covering his cheek in front of him, and looked at him in disbelief, and said indifferently: "If you don't want me to abolish the queen, don't yell here!" .”
Although the words were soft, there was a chilling sternness in them.
A look of despair flashed in the queen's eyes, she looked at the emperor nervously crying and laughing and said: "You hit me...you hit me? It's been more than ten years...you don't even bother to look at me, and you hit me now? I am No... I should thank you?"
At this time, seeing his mother being humiliated, the prince rushed over with a roar, stopped in front of the queen, stared at the emperor angrily and helplessly, and shouted: "Father, enough is enough!"
But even though he was standing between the emperor and the empress, the emperor's deep eyes did not seem to see the prince at all, they directly passed through his body, stared at the weeping empress behind him, and said lightly: "You must not lose your dignity, you know, Queen."
The queen raised her head in fear, glanced at the emperor through the prince's not generous body, bit her lip, and did not speak for a long while.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the emperor frowned slightly and took a step forward.
If you take another step forward, you will hit the prince directly.
The crown prince's heart was already so cold at this moment, he knew how mean and ruthless his father was, and a generation of monarchs would never have the kindness of a woman, especially at this moment, when his father slapped his mother across the face , but at least it proves that he still treats the queen mother as a person.
But the emperor's eyes directly penetrated him, as if he didn't exist, what does this mean? This shows that the emperor no longer regards himself as a human being!
…
…
The prince didn't understand why his father was so angry, so intolerable to himself, suddenly thought of something, his face became paler, but he still stood in front of the queen, because he wanted to protect his mother.
Although the emperor only took a step forward, the prince felt a big mountain coming from the top, and a forceful aura erupted from the man in dragon robe in front of him, directly pressing on him.
The prince seemed to be able to hear the creaking of his knees. He was afraid, and he wanted to back away, but he couldn't, because he knew that the emperor was in a rage, and he didn't know that the emperor would do something to the queen when he was in a rage. what happened.
So he stood between the emperor and the empress unyieldingly, tried his best to resist that compelling aura, he was a little dazed, thinking, could this be the aura possessed by a generation of overlords? Do people who can sit on the dragon chair have to be so ruthless
"Why?" The prince struggled to support himself under the strong pressure, with veins popping out of his neck, and screamed, "Father, why!"
This time, the emperor finally looked at the prince squarely, and looked at the young man who dared to stand in front of him, with a faint light in his pupils, his voice seemed to come out from his lips, and he cursed in a low voice: " nausea!"
…
…
The prince understood, the prince proved his guess, the prince collapsed, the prince's legs went limp, he fell down and sat down in front of the emperor, and began to howl, with tears and snot all over his face.
The emperor didn't look at him again, walked up to the empress, waved his hand indifferently, and slapped him again!
The queen let out a miserable cry, and fell to the ground after being hit by this slap, lying on the low couch.
The emperor lowered his head, clung to the queen's ear, and said in a voice of gnashing his teeth: "I handed this child over to you, and you made him look like this?"
…
…
The emperor raised his body and walked indifferently to the outside of the East Palace. When he was about to leave the palace gate, he turned his head and looked at the prince who was slumped on the ground with indifference and disgust, and said contemptuously: "If you dared to stand in front of me before, I might even give you some respect."
After saying this, the extremely ruthless and ruthless Emperor of the Qing Kingdom walked away. His figure was so tall and straight, so stern, he didn't look like a husband or wife at all, but... just a monarch.
The gate of the East Palace was slowly closed, and the smell of blood still lingered in the palace, but except for the crying empress and prince, there was no one, who seemed so quiet.
The prince suddenly stood up slowly, and numbly supported his mother to sit up.
With a snap, the Queen slapped him across the face. The prince did not hide, his eyes were full of despair and struggle, he held his mother's wrist which was slapped for the second time, and said fiercely: "Mother... If you don't want to die, you should quickly find a way." Notify grandma!"
The queen was stunned for a moment.
…
…
East Palace and Guangxin Palace, inside and outside the palace, inside and outside Huanyifang, within half an hour, all eunuchs and maids who had served in the two palaces had been killed at this time. Except for Hong Zhu, there was not a single person left alive, and hundreds of wronged souls died for the emperor to cover up the scandal of the royal family.
Perhaps it was only at this time that His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom gradually began to reveal his most ferocious, ruthless, and most powerful side.
This middle-aged man in a dragon robe came outside Guangxin Palace alone.
There was no eunuch by his side.
Seeing him coming, old eunuch Hong bowed deeply, and then disappeared like a ghost.
In the entire Guangxin Palace, only the eldest princess in the palace and the emperor outside the palace are standing across the thick palace gate. I don't know what each other is thinking. remember? Is it the acquaintance for more than ten years, or the moment of separation? Is it a monarch or a minister, or a brother and sister
got windy.
The dark clouds over Kyoto are getting thicker.
A flash of lightning struck down, and countless rainwater poured down.
The eldest princess sitting on the low couch slowly raised her head and looked at the palace gate with an indifferent and ridiculous look. The palace gate was slowly pushed open amidst the creaking sound, and a middle-aged man with drenched body and long hair loosened behind slowly Walking in slowly, the dragon painted on the dragon robe on his body seemed to be struggling in the wet water, trying to rush out and tear up everything in this world.
The eldest princess Li Yunrui looked at him indifferently and said, "It turns out that you would be in such a mess."
Crack! There was thunder and lightning in the sky, and the lightning shone on the dark palace. In a very short period of time, everything was illuminated with incomparable brightness.
Especially the figure of His Majesty the Emperor, that angry and depressed, lonely and domineering figure. (, If you want to know what happens next, please log in, there are more chapters, support the author, support the original!)
