The huge square was brightly lit, and thousands of black-armored Imperial Guards holding torches surrounded the entire Buddhist temple, and the security was extremely tight.
The air was still filled with the smell of tung oil, there were suppressed sobs everywhere, and the atmosphere was horribly depressing.
"Who is it?" Xiao Lingyue and his party were stopped by the tensed Imperial Army before they even got close.
Chu Yuanqi quickly stepped forward to explain the situation.
The Imperial Guards looked at them for a long time before waving their hands to let them enter the square.
The center of the square was in a mess, with blood stains everywhere on the ground.
The corpses of the imperial guards killed by the assassins have been moved to the outside. The corpses of the murdered courtiers and family members are still left in the square, covered with white cloth, neatly placed in a corner of the square, with family members beside them crying bitterly.
The sounds of sobs, cries, and screams are endless.
Groups of Imperial Guards shuttled around the square, counting casualties, and monks from the temple hurried over with hot water to help take care of them.
"What are the casualties?" Xiao Lingyue asked in a low voice.
"Preliminary estimates indicate that about six to seven hundred Imperial Guards were killed in the battle, with even more seriously and lightly injured. As for the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, most of the military generals were fine. The casualties were all civilian officials, as well as many female dependents, and the imperial doctors were all
I'm almost overwhelmed." Chu Yuanqi's voice was low.
Xiao Lingyue sighed softly.
In the chaotic situation before, the assassins would kill everyone they saw. It was a completely indiscriminate attack and they didn't know what the purpose was.
Some people who don't react quickly enough, or are unlucky, will naturally suffer.
What a sudden disaster.
Who would have thought that following your Majesty to participate in the banquet, you would encounter such a thing.
"Where is Your Majesty?" Xiao Lingyue asked.
"In the Buddhist temple, the imperial doctor is diagnosing and treating. I don't know what the situation is."
"Where are the Crown Prince and Crown Princess?"
Chu Yuanqi's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "I heard that the prince and the princess also encountered assassins. Several imperial doctors who were taking care of the yard at that time were killed, and the bodies were in the house, but the prince and the princess seemed to have escaped.
He went out and his whereabouts are still unknown. Commander Xue has personally led the Imperial Army to search the area."
Xiao Lingyue frowned and said nothing for a while.
Think on the bright side.
At least the prince and the princess escaped. If Commander Xue led the search and rescue in time, nothing might happen.
"Was the assassin's body found in the courtyard of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Yes, two bodies were found. They were both killed by hidden weapons. Maybe His Highness the Crown Prince had something to protect his life with him."
Chu Yuanqi thought very optimistically and did not dare to think in the worst direction.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Buddhist temple and were stopped as expected.
Xiao Lingyue said: "I have something urgent to ask to see your Majesty. It's about Prince Yi."
The face of the imperial guard at the door changed and he immediately went in to report.
Soon, the imperial army came out: "Your Majesty, please come in."
Xiao Lingyue quickly walked into the palace and saw Emperor Zhaoming sitting on a chair, with several imperial doctors kneeling on the ground next to him, covered in cold sweat.
The entire Buddhist temple is full of imperial guards, like a human wall, guarding the four sides tightly.
Emperor Zhaoming seemed to have taken the medicine, and the dark purple color on his face faded slightly, and his mental state improved a lot. When he saw Xiao Lingyue walking in with a child in her arms, Emperor Zhaoming thought it was Hanhan, and his face turned slightly.
slow.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Lingyue put Beibei on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Han Han was captured by an assassin. I need to interrogate him immediately and find a way to save him. Please give me your permission."
Emperor Zhaoming stood up suddenly: "What did you say?!" Hot "" This chapter has been completed!
