The commotion outside gradually subsided and the fire was extinguished. Wei Yuntian, who was on the roof, saw a group of guards in uniforms passing by in a hurry. He recognized one of the soldiers from Baihu, and he hurriedly asked loudly.
"Liu Cheng, how is the situation?"
"Oops! An assassin entered the Kunning Palace and took away the Queen and the Imperial Concubine. Now they are searching everywhere." The man from Baihu named Liu Cheng answered and hurried away.
"Nonsense! The Queen and the Imperial Concubine are all here well, how could they be taken away?" Wei Yuntian jumped from the roof.
"What a big deal this is, how dare you kid to talk nonsense! Did you drink too much cat urine again?" Liu Cheng stopped in doubt.
Wei Yuntian was not talking nonsense. When Liu Cheng came in and saw the Queen and the Imperial Concubine safe and sound, he was really surprised and happy.
I'm surprised why the two empresses are here?
What makes me happy is that I just happened to pass by and actually made a huge contribution!
There was a fire in the Baochao Department just now, and everyone was busy putting out the fire. Unexpectedly, the assassin took advantage of the chaos to attack Kunning Palace and killed all the guards and eunuchs who were left behind in the palace!
When the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards arrived in a hurry, they saw corpses all over the ground, but the Queen was also missing. Someone reported that the Imperial Concubine was also missing, which scared everyone to the point of urinating.
Since ancient times, I have never heard of a queen being robbed from the palace!
It's over now, everyone may lose their heads.
Zhu Xiaochuan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Guards, and Wu Zicheng, the commander of the Imperial Guards, were also shocked after hearing this. They immediately ordered the closure of the nine gates of the palace and ordered all the Jinyi Guards and Imperial Guards to dispatch to conduct a blanket search in the palace.
Li Wanjiang was safe and sound, but he was furious. What kind of Imperial Forest Army, Forbidden Army Jin Yiwei, or the elite of the elite? He was rushed into the palace without noticing it, and now he took the queen away...
What a bunch of trash, stupid pigs!
If you can't find the queen, none of you will come back to see me.
I just didn't expect to find it so quickly, and both the queen and the imperial concubine were calm and safe.
"Queen, dear concubine, are you two okay?" Li Wanjiang was greatly relieved to see the two of them, and his originally tense expression softened a little.
"As long as the Emperor is fine, it will be fine." Murong Danqiu said calmly.
Li Wanjiang felt slightly harsh and embarrassed when he heard these words.
Because his palace has dozens of powerful Ouchi guards, more than 200 imperial guards, and more than 500 royal guards, no matter how powerful the assassin is, they cannot hurt him at all.
But wives and concubines are different. There are only a few idiot guards and a bunch of helpless eunuchs...
If Xiao Chen hadn't responded to the situation today, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
You, Li Wanjiang, are the king of the world, and you can't even protect your wife's safety...
We won’t be so straightforward, you can figure it out for yourself!
"Xiao Chen, I have failed you this time." Although Li Wanjiang has never liked Xiao Chen, but now, he can only encourage him in public.
"This is the duty that slaves should perform. It is also the empress and the imperial concubine who bring great blessings to the heavens. They turn danger into safety and turn adversity into good fortune." Xiao Chen was naturally very humble.
Gong Shouli on the side rolled his eyes as he listened.
"How did you know that the assassin would attack Kunning Palace?" Li Wanjiang's question was very interesting.
"I didn't know this, but I was actually panicking at the time. I thought that there were not many people guarding Kunning Palace, but the tree was so big that it attracts the wind. I was afraid of any accidents, so I boldly asked the two ladies to go to the minion's kennel for temporary shelter." replied.
's seamless.
"Well, this is indeed my negligence... Zhu Xiaochuan, Wu Zicheng, you two are also responsible!" Li Wanjiang was really angry.
"My crime deserves death." The two of them knelt down together.
"Huh, Queen, it's okay. If there was a mistake, both of you would have lost your heads! Now you two are dismissed from your posts. You have to catch the assassins before tomorrow morning and find out their identities. Otherwise, they will be brought up.
see me!"
The two of them hurriedly agreed and said they obeyed the order.
"Two hundred people each from the Royal Guards and the Royal Guards will be assigned to guard Kunning Palace, and the number of people in the imperial concubines' palaces will be reduced by half." Li Wanjiang was trying to make up for the situation, but he still had to give the empresses an explanation.
"Your Majesty, that's unnecessary. Firstly, there is no such rule, and secondly, I don't believe them either." Murong Danqiu didn't appreciate it at all.
Not only Li Wanjiang, but also Zhu Xiaochuan and Wu Zicheng were greatly embarrassed.
The main reason is that what the Queen said makes sense. Your harem is guarded by so many Royal Guards. Wouldn’t it be better for the assassin to enter the uninhabited land and kill Kunning Palace?
The queen was almost killed!
It’s not an exaggeration to say they are a bunch of waste, right?
"However..." Li Wanjiang frowned.
"Your Majesty, I told you before that I asked Xiao Chen to set up a Kunning Palace editing factory. I wonder how the Emperor has considered this matter? If your Majesty approves it, then I will hand over the defense of Kunning Palace to me.
Give it to Xiao Chen...I only believe in him!"
Murong Danqiu dared to say that in front of everyone!
Because after what happened just now, she gained confidence. Before, you could say that she blindly trusted a little eunuch, but now this little eunuch saved her life!
Xiao Chen's performance has been witnessed by all. Facts speak louder than words.
If the queen doesn't believe him, who does he believe?
"That's fine." Li Wanjiang was originally very hesitant about this matter, but now that something like this happened and he felt guilty towards the queen, he could only agree.
Xiao Chen is not only talented, but also calm and courageous in times of danger. It is not impossible to let him be responsible for protecting the queen.
Nothing can happen to the Queen!
Otherwise, I would not be able to explain to Murong Hengke, Duke of Zhenxi.
Li Wanjiang welcomed Murong Danqiu into the palace and became the queen. Although it was a favor to Murong Heng, it was also equivalent to treating her as a hostage.
Murong Danqiu is Murong Heng's only daughter. As long as she is by his side, Murong Heng will never rebel.
But if something happens to her...that's not possible.
Just like tonight, if the queen is really assassinated, the Western Territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty will immediately be in turmoil!
Murong Hengke knew that no matter who killed his daughter, the debt would definitely be placed on his head, Li Wanjiang.
So when he heard something happened to the queen just now, his back was soaked in cold sweat!
Fortunately, Xiao Chen is here.
Although Li Wanjiang didn't like this kid, he had to be grateful to him in his heart.
Li Wanjiang actually didn't have any good or bad feelings towards Xiao Chen. He said he was just a little eunuch...
It was when he saw that he and Liu Ruyun seemed to be quite ambiguous in Chuxiu Palace that he felt jealous. He himself had lost some male functions due to injury, but the jealousy still existed.
Later, this boy somehow managed to get in touch with the queen and gain her favor, which made him even more jealous.
