The huge square was brightly lit, and thousands of black-armored imperial guards surrounded the entire Buddhist temple with torches, with extremely strict guards.
The air was filled with the smell of tung oil, and there were sobbing sounds everywhere, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing.
"Who?" Before Xiao Lingyue and his group approached, they were stopped by the tense imperial guards.
Chu Yuanqi quickly stepped forward to explain the situation.
The imperial guards looked at them for a while before waved to give way and let them into the square.
The center of the square was in a mess, and blood was everywhere on the ground.
The bodies of the imperial guards killed by the assassin have been moved to the periphery, and the bodies of the murdered court officials and their families are still left in the square, covered with white cloth, and are neatly placed in a corner of the square, with family members next to them crying.
Sobs, crying, and sorrowful shouts are endless.
Teams of imperial guards shuttled through the square, counting casualties, and monks in the temple came hurriedly carrying hot water and were also helping to take care of them.
"How is the casualties?" Xiao Lingyue asked in a low voice.
"Preliminary estimates are that there are about 6700 imperial guards killed in battle, and more seriously and slightly injured. Most of the military generals in the court were fine, and the casualties were civil officials, as well as many female relatives and imperial physicians.
I'm almost overwhelmed." Chu Yuanqi's voice fell.
Xiao Lingyue sighed lightly.
In the previous chaotic situation, the assassin killed people when he saw them, and it was a completely indiscriminate attack, and he didn't know what the purpose was.
Some people who do not react quickly enough or have bad luck will naturally suffer.
It was a disaster.
Who would have thought that following His Holiness to participate in the life of the gods would encounter such a thing?
"Where is Your Majesty?" Xiao Lingyue asked.
"In the Buddhist temple, the imperial physician is treating him, and I don't know what the situation is."
"Where is the prince and the princess?"
Chu Yuanqi's face changed slightly and he whispered: "I heard that the prince and the princess also met assassins. Several imperial physicians who were caring for the yard were killed, and the bodies were in the house, but the prince and the princess seemed to have escaped.
After going out, his whereabouts are still unknown. Commander Xue has personally taken the imperial guards to search nearby."
Xiao Lingyue frowned and didn't say anything for a moment.
Think about the benefits.
At least the prince and the princess escaped. If Commander Xue led his men to search and rescue in time, something might not happen.
"Have you found the body of the assassin in His Royal Highness's yard?"
"Yes, I found two of them, both of which were killed by hidden weapons. Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought some life-saving things with him."
Chu Yuanqi was very optimistic and did not dare to think in a bad direction.
Soon, they walked to the entrance of the Buddhist temple and were stopped by nothing unexpected.
Xiao Lingyue said: "I have urgent matters to ask Your Majesty to see you. It's about Prince Yi."
The imperial guard at the door changed his expression and he immediately went in to report.
Soon, the imperial guards came out: "Your Majesty, please come in."
Xiao Lingyue quickly walked into the hall and saw Emperor Zhaoming sitting on a chair, with several imperial physicians kneeling on the ground, sweating all over his head.
The entire Buddhist temple is full of guards, like a human wall, guarding tightly around the world.
Emperor Zhaoming seemed to have used medicine, and the black purple poison on his face slightly faded, and his mental state improved a lot. Seeing Xiao Lingyue walking in with a child in his arms, Emperor Zhaoming thought it was Han Han, and his face slightly turned
slow.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Lingyue put Beibei on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Han Han was captured by the assassin. I need to interrogate the living immediately and find a way to save him. Please ask Your Majesty to agree."
Emperor Zhaoming suddenly stood up: "What did you say?!" Popular 『』 This chapter has been completed!
