It is understandable to silence the people of Qianqing Palace, but why...
"Your Majesty, today I am leading soldiers who I trust very much. I promise that I will not leak even a single word about what I am doing in the Qing Palace today..."
"cousin!"
Chu Yichen interrupted him. He stared into Wan Caihou's eyes, "People's hearts are unpredictable, and you can't guarantee it. This matter is related to the future of this king and the Wan family, and it must be foolproof."
"..."
The snowflakes fell on my face, which was very cold.
Wan Caihou's heart is even colder.
He is a small commander of the imperial guards. He knows what it means to lead troops into the palace with Chu Yichen today. He also knows that the emperor is seriously ill and Chu Mohan is "conspiracy", so Chu Yichen has a very high chance of winning.
And as long as he succeeds.
Everyone who came with him tonight has the merit of following the dragon. After Chu Yichen ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, these people will definitely be rewarded.
so……
Out of selfish motives, he brought all his brothers who were usually close friends with him. Many of his brothers were friends through fate... Wan Cai was more generous than his heart could bear.
He knelt on the ground with a plop, and his armor made a dull sound, "My lord, please have mercy..."
Chu Yichen stared at him expressionlessly, "Cousin, you know, this King Enben can't open it."
"..."
The twelfth lunar month of winter.
Wan Caihou broke out in a cold sweat all over his body. He gritted his teeth and said, "Five lives. I only ask the prince to keep five lives..."
"Women's kindness!"
"Your Majesty..."
Chu Yichen looked disappointed, "That's enough! Wan Caihou, don't challenge my patience!"
"..."
Wan Caihou laid his head on the cold ground.
Seeing that he could not count on him, Chu Yichen called for the personal guards of his palace. The personal guards surrounded the entire Qianqing Palace. After a while, footsteps could be heard in the palace.
"Your Majesty, General, we found it."
Chu Yichen and Wan Caihou suddenly raised their heads, one with a happy face and the other with a sad face.
Chu Yichen strode into the inner room.
The mechanism turned out to be on that dragon bed.
now.
The quilt on the dragon bed was moved away, and the board on the bed was also opened, revealing the entrance to a deep secret passage.
The Imperial Guard who was good friends with Wan Caihou asked Wan Caihou, "Boss, do you want to send someone down to investigate?"
"..."
Wan Caihou was in a trance.
The Imperial Guard touched his arm, "Boss?"
Thousands of talents are as thick as waking up from a dream.
In front of him is his best brother, who has blocked swords for him and fought with him through life and death many times. No matter who he is against, he will always stand by his side.
Wancai's voice was so thick that he couldn't say a word.
"No need!"
Chu Yichen covered the bed and smiled at the imperial guard, "Everyone has worked hard today. Could you please clean up the corpses in Qianqing Palace?"
Everyone was puzzled.
At this time, isn't finding the missing emperor more important than cleaning up the body?
Although they were confused, everyone did not hesitate to ask more questions and cleared up the corpses on the ground. Chu Yichen walked out of the hall. He didn't hear any movement behind him, so he turned around.
Seeing Wan Caihou frozen there like a statue, he frowned and said, "Wan Caihou, I have something to tell you, follow me out."
There was a strong warning in his tone.
"..."
Wan Caihou looked at the brothers who lived together day and night in the room and walked out of the hall like puppets.
The personal guards of Prince Jiang's Mansion entered the hall with weapons.
The door of the main hall is closed.
There were sounds of fighting, roars and lamentations coming from the hall.
only……
This time they pointed the knife at their own people.
Wan Caihou opened his eyes, and two lines of tears fell down his cheeks.
He looked up at Chu Yichen under the eaves. Under the illumination of the palace lantern, his blood-stained armor reflected the cold light. His side face was stiff, like a sharp blade without emotion.
Wan Caihou suddenly felt confused.
This is the person their Wan family will be loyal to in the future.
Such a ruthless person, when he becomes the emperor, secures his throne, and no longer needs the Wan family to be his sword... will he still treat the Wan family kindly?
Wan Caihou suddenly became unsure.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
The door of the main hall opened again.
The guards of Prince Jiang's Mansion came out and knelt at Chu Yichen's feet, "My lord, there is not a single one left."
"Um."
Chu Yichen nodded with satisfaction, "Pass the order, my father learned that Prince Jing was planning to rebel. He was so furious that he died of illness in Qianqing Palace."
"yes!"
Chu Yichen's tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
When the news of the father's death from illness spreads, even if an "Emperor Yongxuan" appears from somewhere in the future, it will be because the rebellious officials and traitors found someone who looks similar to Emperor Yongxuan to confuse the public.
It can't be true.
certainly.
Before that, he had to send a trustworthy person into the secret room to find a way to find the whereabouts of his father and let him "die of illness" to avoid future troubles.
correct.
And King Li.
Although he is a sick man and disabled, he is also his father's biological son. What he did today is tantamount to conspiracy, and his father must be eager to kill him.
In order to prevent problems before they occur.
He had to deal with the second emperor brother as well.
In this way, even if the father shows up, he will have no other son to pass on the throne.
…
"Harder, harder."
In the dungeon.
Little Xingxing was delivering Shu Wanyi's baby. Shu Wanyi's condition was urgent. She gave Shu Wanyi an injection to induce labor. At this time, her cervix was dilated to five fingers.
Although Little Xingxing is a doctor, she has never delivered a baby.
There was cold sweat on her forehead. After taking a look, her heart fell into the abyss.
The child turned out to be in unibreech presentation.
The fetus has a big head and a small butt. If the buttocks are delivered first during childbirth and the largest fetal head is delivered later, it is very likely to cause dystocia. If the fetal head cannot be delivered smoothly within 5-8 minutes and the umbilical cord is pressed for too long, it may easily lead to fetal asphyxia or even death. .
If it is modern.
At this time, she could only perform a cesarean section.
But in ancient times... there were no conditions for cesarean section.
And she.
Although she is a doctor, she studied archeology in college and has never studied clinical Western medicine at all. Even if she was given an operating table and a scalpel, she would not be able to perform an operation.
The amniotic fluid has broken.
Blood was still flowing out.
From the opened cervix, she even saw the fetus' skin gradually turning purple.
Little Star's eyes were burning.
"Crown Princess..."
Sudden!
Shu Wanyi's body suddenly spasmed. She covered her heart and curled up in pain. Little Xingxing was startled, "Princess, how are you?"
"It hurts! My heart... suddenly hurts!"
Giving birth was so painful that Shu Wanyi didn't even shed a single tear. But at this moment, she was completely out of control, and her tears flowed uncontrollably like a flood. She pressed her heart tightly, and the life in her eyes quickly dissipated.
"Brother Xuan Ye...brother Xuan Ye..."
Chu Xuanye.
The prince's name.
Little Xingxing's eyes were red, and she held Shu Wanyi's hand tightly, "Princess, hold on, your Highness will be fine."
After that heartbreaking pain passed, Shu Wan felt as if someone had taken away her soul. The blood under her body was flowing more and more, her eyes gradually became blurry, and she murmured, "No...Brother Xuan Ye, he's leaving." Already."
Little Xingxing's heart felt like it was being pinched hard, and her breathing became difficult and painful.
"Brothers and sisters..."
"I am here."
"I have no... strength." Shu Wanyi grabbed her hand. Due to excessive blood loss, she could no longer see the little stars clearly. She used her last strength to beg her, "Please... cut me open."
