At this moment, the lights above the main hall are brightly lit, and countless torches are inserted around it, illuminating the hundreds of square meters in front of the hall as bright as day.
In the center of the torch light, a huge black iron cage stands impressively!
The cage is two stories high, dozens of meters long and wide, and occupies almost two-thirds of the square in front of the temple. Under the light of the torch, it glows with a cold light.
However...
What’s in this cage is not a monster or an animal.
But more than a hundred people!!
I saw these people with pale faces, sitting feebly in the cage, their clothes were wrinkled, their hair was messy, and they exuded an aura of decadence and depression.
Among them are tall military generals and thin and elegant civil servants.
There are old men with gray hair, and there are young men with black hair.
All of them are men. Their auras are very weak and they don't even have the strength to stand. They seem to have been drugged.
Yun Luo glanced over from a distance and found several familiar faces among these people...
Admiral of the Nine Gates, Yun Changmao, Prime Minister of the Left...
They are all important civil and military ministers of the third rank or above in the court!
It turns out they are all here!
There were many golden-armored soldiers guarding the front door of the Qinzheng Palace. They stood densely in a circle around the main hall. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. There were at least a thousand people.
No wonder they didn't see a single Jinwu Guard on the way into the palace. It turned out they were guarding here.
Yun Luo opened his eyes wide, it was incredible——
Is Ji Xiuling crazy?
Why did she arrest so many courtiers into the palace?
Could it be that when the prince died, she planned to have all the civil and military officials buried with him?!
Jun Wuchen's voice rang in his ears, "Luo'er, look over there, there are several generals from the Huwei Army."
Yun Luo looked in the direction he said and saw several tall, rugged-looking middle-aged men sitting together. They looked slightly better than the others, but their faces were extremely ugly.
Come to think of it...
It's embarrassing enough for a dignified military general to be caught under a conspiracy.
He was actually treated like an animal and locked up in an iron cage and allowed to be slaughtered...
This is simply a great shame!
Meeting a crazy queen like Ji Xiuling, Yun Luo couldn't help but sympathize with these unlucky civil and military officials.
She observed carefully and found that all the missing Beijing officials were here.
However, the high-level warrior who was also captured was nowhere to be seen.
Yun Luo had a doubt in his heart that he couldn't figure out.
She and Jun Wuchen hid in the shadow of the high wall, took his hand, and wrote quickly: "The Queen imprisons all civil and military officials, how can Jin Wuwei obey the order?"
Yun Luo originally thought that Ji Xiuling brought people from Chongyun Sect when something happened in the palace.
But now it seems obviously not.
She even arrested all the civil and military officials, and Emperor Cangyun was also controlled by her. Jin Wuwei, a member of the personal bodyguard, actually obeyed her orders and guarded these courtiers for her.
This is simply an act of rebellion. Are Jin Wuwei crazy?!
Jun Wuchen's eyes were cold, and he slowly glanced at the guards in front of the palace gate, just as he was about to send a message to answer.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from a distance.
The two of them immediately followed the sound.
I saw a middle-aged woman dressed as a palace nun walking over, followed by three or five frightened palace maids. Each of the palace maids was carrying a heavy basket in their hands, and I didn't know what it contained.
The middle-aged grandma raised her head and chest with an expressionless face. Jin Wuwei seemed to be afraid of her and immediately got out of the way.
