The palace of the concubine Yuan Min was set on fire.
The spy lurking in the East Palace secretly sprinkled flammable kerosene on the flowers and wooden window lattice. The fire started fiercely, sending out bursts of black smoke.
"Someone, there's a fire! Help people!"
"The Grand Concubine is still in the house, as well as the little Prince and Princess!"
The sleeping palace people were in a mess.
The guards on night watch had rushed over to put out the fire and save people.
Feng Shaojun arrived at this moment, glanced at her, and ordered loudly: "Everyone, be quiet! Don't disturb people's hearts by screaming and yelling! Otherwise, we will chop her with a knife first!"
The palace people reluctantly kept their mouths shut.
The concubine was helped out by the palace attendants around her. She was choked by the thick smoke and coughed repeatedly. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was disheveled, and she looked extremely embarrassed.
The little prince and princess were also carried out by people around them. The children were so frightened that they cried for their mother. Yuan Min endured the pain in her stomach and coaxed her children softly: "Brother Dong, Sister Tang,
Don't be afraid, mother is here. No one can hurt you."
Feng Shaojun stepped forward quickly and said in a low voice: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please take the princess and the princess to the palace of the princess."
Yuan Min nodded.
This was the first time that Feng Shaojun was so close to Yuan Min. Looking at Yuan Min who endured the pain and shock without being disturbed, Feng Shaojun couldn't help but secretly praise him. This is how he behaves like the master of the harem!
Now is not the time for gossip, there are still many dangers lurking in the dark.
After the grandson and the little princess left safely, Feng Shaojun's face completely darkened, and a terrifying cold murderous look flashed in his eyes: "Instructions from our family are to call everyone here and search and interrogate them one by one.
We want to find the traitor and chop her alive!"
The East Palace has placed people in the harem, and those who are interested will naturally try every possible means to cause trouble in the East Palace. Over the past two years, the East Palace has quietly changed more than ten palace servants.
Even so, it was still mixed with sand. There was one palace official who assassinated the Crown Princess tonight, and there was another one who set the fire secretly. Maybe there were dead soldiers hiding among them.
Feng Shaojun was a confidant of the prince and was entrusted with an important task to stay in the East Palace. At this time, he became angry with a sullen face, and the hearts of everyone in the palace were trembling, and chills ran down their backs.
Soon, all the palace residents were brought over, as well as several chamberlains.
The roster of the East Palace was in Feng Shaojun's heart. Feng Shaojun called the names one by one and found that two people were missing. One was a palace servant named Yurou, and the other was the father-in-law who was serving in Taisun's study.
It was these two people who set fire to the East Palace tonight.
Feng Shaojun gave the order without expression, and ordered people to find these two people.
There were bursts of fire in the East Palace, and all the dormitories in the harem were alarmed. In the dark night, I don't know how many exclamations sounded. I don't know how many people lurking in the dormitories were quietly "acting". Soon, there was also a fire in the harem. The night watchman
The emperor's personal guards had to go around putting out fires and saving people.
Commander Liao, the commander of the East Palace Guards, came over with a heavy face and whispered urgently: "Both Ganquan Palace and Cuiwei Palace are also on fire, and there are also fires in the direction of Cining Palace. Do you want to send someone to take a look?"
Before the prince left the palace, he specifically ordered Commander Liao that if something happened in the East Palace, all the personal guards would obey Eunuch Feng's orders. Commander Liao knew that he had not responded well enough, so he was not dissatisfied.
Feng Shaojun's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "There are manpower in each palace, as well as thousands of Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards. Nothing major will happen. Our most important thing right now is to protect the Crown Princess, the Grand Concubine and the two young ladies.
master."
Commander Liao nodded subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Eunuch Feng say: "Immediately seal the palace door of the East Palace. No matter what happens outside, the palace door is not allowed to be opened!"
Commander Liao was startled and looked over reflexively.
At this time, most of the flames had been extinguished and the light was gradually dimming. There was no unnecessary expression on Eunuch Feng's handsome face, and his eyes were full of cold determination.
Feng Shaojun looked over and said, "Commander Liao, please send someone to guard the palace gate immediately. If anyone dares to rush into the palace gate, he will be killed on the spot immediately!"
Commander Liao calmed down and responded in a deep voice.
As expected by Feng Shaojun, someone took advantage of the chaos to rush into the East Palace.
Commander Liao sealed the palace gate in time. Hearing the shouting outside, he remained unmoved. When someone tried to browse the palace wall, the guards shot the person over the wall with an arrow. Occasionally, a few rushed into the East Palace.
Inside, a bodyguard immediately rushed forward and killed him with a sword.
There was no joy on Commander Liao's face, and his brows were tightly knitted.
In the dark night, more and more people are swarming up to the wall. These people are all wearing black clothes and covering their faces. They are brave and not afraid of death. One wave after another, seemingly endless. It makes people feel a turbulent wave in their hearts.
The palace is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to enter the palace. Who ordered these men in black, how did they enter the palace, and how many are there in total?
These questions are pouring in one after another. All Commander Liao can do now is to fight to the death and never let anyone rush into the East Palace.
There are five thousand royal guards in the palace, and they will arrive soon to rescue him. As long as he survives this moment, he will be fine.
At this moment, a chamberlain ran over and whispered: "Eunuch Feng ordered me to deliver a message. Commander Liao must guard the palace gate. Even if reinforcements come, don't open the palace gate!"
Commander Liao was shocked again. Thinking about it more carefully, he had to admire Eunuch Feng for his thoughtfulness.
If these men in black were able to enter the palace, they must have secretly connected with the people in the palace. Maybe some of the imperial guards who came to "rescue" also had ulterior motives. If they were sneaked into the East Palace, it would be bad.
…
"For Eunuch Feng, Yu Rou has been killed."
"My father-in-law also committed suicide by taking poison."
The two corpses were brought over and placed in front of Feng Shaojun. The corpses were not yet cool, which showed that they had just died.
Feng Shaojun's heart sank. The people behind the scenes were really ruthless, and all they used were dead soldiers. Among the kneeling palace servants, there might be one or two such dead soldiers.
Not far away, another fire broke out somewhere. The firelight was mixed with screams and screams, which made people feel chilly.
Feng Shaojun ordered in a deep voice to have all the palace servants tied up and guarded in one place. Then, he quickly went to the princess's chamber.
Concubine Yuan Min had fetal contractions again and was being helped to lie on the couch. Her face was pale and she was sweating. The imperial doctor quickly applied the needles, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Brother Dong and Sister Tang kept calling for mother, their little faces turned red from crying.
The Crown Princess wasn't much better either. Her eyes were red and her tears kept falling. She squeezed her daughter-in-law's hand tightly and said: "Min'er, Min'er! You must hold on!"
Yuan Min reluctantly opened her eyes and forced out a smile: "Don't worry, concubine, I, I can hold on."
