After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 75 Moonlight Night

Not far from the Shenxing Division is the Royal Horse Prison, which is one of the most leisurely places in the palace. Originally, there were only some things to do during the winter hunting season throughout the year, but since the late Emperor's health became weak during the Shunping period, until now, there is only one winter event every ten years.

Hunting has never been held. The stable has become a display, and the number of horses has been reduced from more than a hundred to more than 20 now.

The young guard on duty in the Royal Stable Prison was sitting at the door of the stable taking a nap when two people suddenly entered the yard.

In the dark, it was difficult to see what the person was wearing, and it was difficult to identify him, so he asked from a distance: "Who is he?"

The leader, who was thin, walked to the stable door, took a look inside, and said, "Bring me two docile and fast horses."

The little guard jumped up and stood up from his seat.

After staying in the palace for so many years, this was the first time that he was so close to the emperor.

He was short, and his head was much lower than Ye Qinghuai's when he stood up. He could only look up at her.

Seeing her hanging by one arm, the little guard couldn't help but stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I'm afraid... your hands make it difficult... to get on the horse."

Ye Qinghuai turned her head to look at him. The little guard was startled by the cold light in her eyes and quickly stopped talking.

"I asked you to lead the horse."

Her tone was calm, but her eyes looked like she wanted to kill someone.

"Young man, take the order, little man, take the order." The little guard responded and ran towards the stable.

Not long after, he led two horses out of the stable.

Ye Qinghuai almost hurriedly grabbed a horse rein from his hand. She stepped on the stirrup with one foot, pulled the saddle sharply with her right hand, and got on the horse.

She originally had long legs, but because she is thin and does not have much weight, it is not difficult to mount a horse with one hand.

Ye Qinghuai took the reins of the horse with his right hand, turned around, crossed the courtyard gate, and rode away.

Qin Yang quickly took the other rein, got on the horse and chased after him.

The little guard was left standing in the yard for a long time, staring at the direction in which they were leaving.

He suddenly felt that the wind in the imperial city was about to change.

——

Ye Qinghuai did not go to Chengtianmen, but to Donglinmen.

When she and Qin Yang rushed to Donglinmen, it was already the willow trees above the moon.

The Donglin Gate is unattended. There are six candles along the wall in the door opening. They are all lit at this moment. Two guards in imperial guard uniforms are cleaning the battlefield. There are seven or eight buckets inside the door, some of which are full.

Some of the water was already empty. The guard was scooping up the water in the bucket and splashing it on the road, while he was scrubbing the stone wall with something in his hand.

There was water everywhere on the bluestone pavement, and the water was mixed with a faint color of blood.

A gust of wind blew in from outside the door, and there was a slight whistle in the doorway, like a distant elegy.

Ye Qinghuai smelled the disgusting smell of blood, so she reined in her horse outside the door.

She lowered her head and saw that in the water washed out of Donglin Gate, there were still small pieces of broken clothing floating in the water, and there seemed to be fine pieces of human flesh wrapped in the cloth.

According to Li Baoquan, more than two hundred people died here today, which was far more intense than the battle outside Chengtian Gate.

Most of the day has passed now, but we can still get a glimpse of the brutality of the battle at that time.

"Which school are you from?" Ye Qinghuai rode forward a few steps and stopped in front of a guard who was splashing water to clean.

The guard raised his head and saw a man riding on a horse with one arm hanging by one hand. He couldn't see the person's face in the dim light of the fire. The guard was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time he saw someone riding a horse in the palace city.

"I'm asking you a question!" Ye Qinghuai raised his voice.

When the guard heard her voice, he immediately lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am from the Sixth Guards of the Zuoya Guards Infantry Corps. I received the order from Eunuch Li and are here to assist the Taiyuan Hospital in clearing the battlefield. At present,

The corpses and wounded have been removed and final cleaning is being done."

Ye Qinghuai nodded. It seemed that he was from Li Baoquan. She felt relieved and asked: "When did you come? What was the situation here at that time?"

"It was just getting dark when I arrived, and it was probably just after Youzheng. At that time, the fighting here at Donglinmen had ended, and all the right government guards had been transferred to Chengtianmen. The remaining soldiers here were dead and wounded.

.The fighting was fierce in the afternoon. The main battlefield should be right where Your Majesty is standing. There were corpses stacked one on top of another, as high as half a man, all of them were right-wing guards. The entire doorway was filled with blood.

It flowed outside the door, and the soles of my boots were soaked with blood."

After saying that, he lifted up his boots, and Ye Qinghuai saw that the white soles of his boots had completely turned into a rusty brown, which was frightening to see.

Ye Qinghuai gasped.

She vaguely remembered that the place where she was reining in her horse was the place where she and Lu Yanchen said goodbye.

At that time, he had promised her that he would never let a right yamen guard step out of the Donglin Gate.

It can be seen that he did it.

At an extremely heavy price.

"Did you ever see Imperial Master Lu Yanchen when you were carrying corpses and wounded?" Ye Qinghuai asked, thinking that he might not know Lu Yanchen, and added, "He wore a black narrow-sleeved shirt.

He is wearing a robe, he is very tall, and he is holding a long knife with a slightly curved tip in his hand."

The guard was silent at first, but when he heard the long knife, he suddenly remembered something and replied: "I have never seen Mr. Lu, but I have seen that long knife. It should be in the imperial hospital."

"Too hospital?"

"The long knife was stuck in the chest of a wounded man. The people from the Tai Hospital refused to let him pull it out. They said that the person would be dead when he pulled it out, so he and the knife were sent to the Tai Hospital together." Seeing the emperor's silence, he added.

He added, "I will not be mistaken. It is a precious sword. It is different from the guard sword. Although the sword hurts someone, there is no blood on the sword."

"I'm afraid it's the young master's sword." Qin Yang caught up from behind Ye Qinghuai and heard the guard's description.

Ye Qinghuai turned around and looked at him.

Both of them had the same serious look in their eyes, with a bit of panic.

Warriors always keep their weapons in their hands, but now that the sword is in their hands, the situation will be worse.

"Qin Yang, go to the Imperial Hospital and look for Mr.'s knife. Regardless of whether you find it or not, you will come to Mr.'s residence to look for me in two-quarters of an hour."

After Ye Qinghuai finished his instructions, without waiting for his response, he galloped straight towards Donglinmen.

Now Lu Yanchen only has two places to go.

First, he was not seriously injured and was forced to evacuate early due to the situation. Even if he was not in the residence at the moment, he should be able to ask about his situation in the residence.

Second...there is no second. There can be no second.

Ye Qinghuai didn't want to think about it.

Don't even dare to think about it.

Under the full moon night, there were not many pedestrians on Zhengde North Street, and Ye Qinghuai's figure was stretched very long.
