Chapter 1138 Book Spirit (21)
In Minister Lin's study, he was pacing anxiously waiting for good news. At the moment, he felt mixed emotions, hoping for good news but also afraid of disappointment. In short, the moment the action was decided and carried out, it was destined that tonight would be a sleepless night.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and with a loud "bang", a man fell into Minister Lin's study room, seriously injured. Minister Lin was immediately frightened and trembled. He subconsciously called out, "Who? How dare you break into the Minister's Mansion?"
Lin Xiao said in a hoarse voice due to injury: "It's me, Lord Shangshu, um..."
Minister Lin realized that something was wrong, and immediately ran to close the door. He also took a candlestick to illuminate the injured person who fell to the ground due to exhaustion, so as to confirm whether this person was his confidant Lin Xiao. The light of the candle trembled as Guard Lin Xiao walked in. His face was illuminated, and the fruit plate was the injured Guard Lin.
Minister Lin: "What? Did he fail at that stage? Why is he so badly injured?"
Guard Lin really couldn't hold on any longer. With his injured body at this moment, he just said, "In the cold palace..." and then fainted.
When Minister Lin heard this, it was simply unbelievable. It was a mistake that happened in the cold palace. It was too hard to believe. In a place where no one was valued, two abandoned women, one master and one servant, could actually have such ability to injure the privately raised soldiers to such an extent. It seemed that Minister Lin underestimated this abandoned woman. This matter should not be made public. Everything had to wait until the fainted Guard Lin woke up to know the course and result of the matter.
On the other side, all the bodies in the cold palace were being cleaned up quickly by a group of palace guards. Some were carried by two people, while others were dragged by one person, holding their legs. Soon, the whole scene was cleaned up.
Finally, it was Eunuch Sun who stood in front of the gate and ordered in a shrill voice: "After everything is cleaned up, take it away quickly and don't disturb the Queen's peace here!"
The guards followed Eunuch Sun's orders and quickly dragged away two carts full of corpses.
The Queen stood in the middle of the gate, her hands folded in her arms, and asked, "Eunuch Sun, is everything cleaned up?"
Eunuch Sun nodded and bowed, "Your Majesty, everything has been cleaned up. I will not disturb you any more. I have to go back to the Emperor to report!"
The queen waved her hand and said, "Go, go, everyone, go!"
All assassinations will return to peace, and the courtyard of the cold palace has returned to its usual state. However, the harem is not so peaceful. Because there are too many guards to clean up, and there is no order, telling that the actions of the cold palace must not be leaked. So, after dawn, new news about the turmoil in the palace exploded again, and the news spread in two parts.
One is that the queen was assassinated in the cold palace.
Another thing is that the queen was discovered to have kept a male lover in the cold palace.
Of the two pieces of news, people paid the most attention to the latter. The Queen, unable to bear the loneliness in the cold palace, began to keep a gigolo, which was discovered by the Emperor.
Thus, the cold palace experienced a brutal massacre. The description of the incident seemed to be getting more and more intense, and began to exaggerate the facts.
Seeing that the ladies in various palaces have heard this rumor, they are all happy and fortunate. Perhaps, the position of the real master of the harem will be vacant. What a wonderful opportunity! Seize the opportunity and don't lose it.
