The firelight shone down from above and shone all the way into the ear chamber.
Xiao Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be Commander Xue who came in with the imperial army!"
The assassin wouldn't be so blatant that he would dare to directly destroy the roof and break in.
Sure enough, the words just fell.
Xue Hai personally led several skilled Imperial Guards and jumped in from the roof with torches. He soon discovered the assassin's body and hurried into the ear room.
Seeing Emperor Zhaoming half sitting on the ground covered in blood, Xue Hai's eyes instantly turned red and he knelt on the ground with fists in his hands and saluted.
Several Imperial Guards had the same reaction.
"Commander Xue and the imperial army have all had their throats damaged by the poisonous smoke. They can't speak now. Don't be offended, Your Majesty." Xiao Lingyue explained for help, then turned around and said, "Commander Xue, now is not the time to blame yourself. Your Majesty."
He's injured and poisoned, let's get out quickly."
Xue Hai nodded immediately, pointed to the main hall outside, turned around and squatted down.
This means that he can carry Emperor Zhaoming out on his back.
The commander of the Forbidden Army naturally has martial arts skills. Even if he is not top-notch, it is not a problem to carry someone out.
Xiao Lingyue then handed Emperor Zhaoming to him to carry on his back, took the poison needle and the late empress's memorial tablet, and the group hurriedly left the praying hall.
After coming down from the roof, Xiao Lingyue found that the shrubs around the praying hall had been leveled, the poisonous smoke had already dispersed, and the remaining imperial soldiers were moving the corpses on the ground and counting the casualties.
The corpses of several assassins were also moved aside separately, and several injured Imperial Guards stepped on them as they passed by.
After Emperor Zhaoming was rescued, he was carefully placed on the steps by Xue Hai. The Imperial Guards immediately surrounded him three times inside and three times outside, and protected him closely.
Xue Hai supported the weak Emperor Zhaoming, wrote on the ground with the tip of his sword, and asked people to call the imperial doctor immediately and notify other imperial guards to come and escort him.
A few of the Imperial Guards ran away in a hurry, while the rest stayed around to guard.
Everything seems to have calmed down.
But for some reason, Xiao Lingyue couldn't relax, as if there was an unknown nerve tightening in her mind.
She frowned and looked around, then asked: "Haven't the imperial troops from the main hall arrived yet? There are also courtiers, and His Royal Highness is nowhere to be seen?"
Xue Hai shook his head and wrote with his sword: "I was just thinking about rescuing His Majesty and didn't send anyone to notify you. His Highness the Crown Prince probably doesn't know yet."
"There was such a big commotion in the temple and everyone was alarmed. How could the prince not know about it?" Xiao Lingyue felt something was wrong.
But the safety of Emperor Zhaoming was more important than the prince, and it was impossible for her to separate the remaining imperial troops to find the prince.
Beibei and Hanhan were left by her in the Buddhist temple square, protected by the military generals of the DPRK and hundreds of forbidden troops, and their situation was the safest.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyue felt inexplicably uneasy.
She thought for a while and said: "It will take time for the imperial troops guarding outside the temple to arrive. Commander Xue will be here to guard your majesty. I will go to the main hall to inform the ministers and bring them over. Tonight's assassination is carefully planned.
, for the sake of safety, it is best for everyone not to disperse. When other forbidden troops arrive, Commander Xue will immediately send people to find the prince and princess to ensure their safety!"
Xue Hai felt a chill in his heart and nodded subconsciously to obey the order.
Emperor Zhaoming raised his heavy eyelids slightly and glanced at her in surprise.
