Chapter 397 The End of the Song
At dawn, the imperial guards finally cleaned the bloody alley. The bluestone was smooth and clear, like a mirror that could reflect a person's appearance.
When the last person returned to the palace, he realized that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
The feeling of surviving the disaster made them exhausted, but the pungent smell of their bodies made them dizzy. They just wanted to take a bath right away, but they were also afraid that something unexpected might happen to them.
At this time, a guard came over with a horse and said, "Commander, noble concubine... How should we arrange this Lin family?"
The commander of the Royal Forest Army looked sideways and saw that there was another person lying on the ground right away. She was Concubine Rong, the biological mother of the second prince who had just been dealt with.
But she was no longer a concubine. The commander remembered that before returning to the palace, the emperor only glanced at Mrs. Lin coldly and uttered words without warmth.
"Take the Lin family to the cold palace and search the Lin Mansion. Anyone who knows about the traitor Sheng Xiuyu's conspiracy will be thrown into prison and severely interrogated by me. Also, all the slaves in the Huichun Palace will be executed. No one will be spared!"
In fact, Mrs. Lin was still unconscious when she heard this, and the commander frowned. This pampered Mrs. Lin might have fainted from grief after seeing the tragic scene of Sheng Xiuyu's death.
But he didn't pity this Lin. If he did something wrong, he should be punished.
After thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Send Mrs. Lin to the cold palace. I have to do other things, so don't ask me anything."
He had enough things to worry about today. He still couldn't close his eyes until dawn. He estimated that he would be either sleepy or exhausted in the future.
Thinking about it this way, Sheng Xiuyu was really useless. If he could die in Sheng Xiuyu's hands, he would have nothing to say. At least if he died, he wouldn't have to face such endless things.
The subordinates saw the commander's sudden cold expression and understood his impatience, so he said no more and just led the horse into the harem, walking towards the most deserted and uninhabited depths.
The guard leading the horse walked very slowly, not because he was worried that the jolt of the horse would wake up Lin, but because he wanted to take a break from the busy work. This rebellion initiated by the former second prince, although it briefly made the night noisy, this move would soon end
It has become the darkness of countless people's lives.
The guard did not know the second prince's name. Although the emperor blurted out his name during the confrontation, the guard did not remember the second prince's name out of nervousness.
A while ago, the Huo family, who was the queen, had not been stable in Beijing for a few days, and now it is the turn of the Lin family, which is Concubine Rong.
The small families who depend on the Lin family for survival don't know what kind of shadow they have to live in at this time.
The guard was thinking boredly and yawned. He looked up and found that Leng Gong had arrived. He stopped his horse with a groan and was thinking about how to put this Lin down from his horse.
"gold……"
The man on the horse suddenly uttered a murmur. The guard was frightened and bent down to check on Ms. Lin. Was she about to wake up?
It's better to wake up, so as to save him from having to carry the person off the horse.
"Jinyu——"
Mrs. Lin let out a startled cry, and her eyes suddenly opened. No, no, don't execute Jin Yu!
It turned out that she could accept the death of her own flesh and blood. The sight of Sheng Xiuyu's head and body being separated was not enough to make her comatose. What made her miserable was the Jinyu who took her place in the Palace of Rejuvenation!
The gold and jade that has accompanied her all her life in this dark, dark palace!
She regretted not taking Jinyu out of the palace, "Jinyu!"
Mrs. Lin didn't know where she got the strength to get off her horse, and grabbed the guard's clothes. Her tone of voice was full of uneasiness, "Where is this, where is the Palace of Rejuvenation, and where is the Golden Jade Man?"
The guard was stunned at first. Hasn't this Lin lived in the palace for a long time? How could he not know which direction the Palace of Rejuvenation is?
But subconsciously, the guard stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Palace of Rejuvenation.
After getting the direction, Lin Rongyan held up her skirt and rushed forward regardless, like a gust of wind passing through the palace road with high vermilion walls on both sides.
"Stop, the emperor has cast you into the cold palace, don't run away!"
When the guard reacted, he was about to chase him. If he let the traitor's biological mother go, he didn't dare think about what kind of punishment he would be punished!
But the horse beside him seemed to be frightened. The horse snorted like thunder, and its two hooves stamped on the floor anxiously. The guard was even more at a loss. When he tried to pull the bridle, he was kicked to the ground by the horse's hoof.
By the time the guard got up from the ground in pain, Lin Rongyan had long disappeared.
"Jinyu——"
Lin Rongyan, who usually relies on the gold and jade around her to guide her when traveling, ran through half of the harem for the first time. She remembered what she said in the market.
"Jin Yu, if I don't have you, I'm afraid I won't be able to provide adequate food, clothing, housing and transportation."
At that time, Jin Yu smiled lightly, shook her head and declined without boasting or humbly. She just lowered her head to remind her to be careful where she steps.
It's a pity that no one will remind her to watch her steps again.
At this time, in the Palace of Rejuvenation, the commander of the Royal Forest Army stood aside expressionlessly, watching the subordinates beside him raise and fall their knives as emotionlessly as tools.
Heads fell to the ground one after another, and blood gushed out on the ground. The commander of the Royal Forest Army looked at the blood flowing into the gaps in the stone slabs, and thought for no reason that the palace servants who knew how to sweep were busy now.
Another body fell down. Other guards lifted the body and stacked it numbly on the cart. After doing this, they had to be responsible for burning it.
I really miss the days when I had nothing to do, even though there is a turbulence that can kill people beneath the calm surface.
There was only the last palace maid left. The commander of the imperial army curled his lips impatiently and glanced at the palace maid. He recognized that this palace maid was Lin's personal palace maid, but why did the palace maid keep looking at the door? There was something outside the door.
?
Out of curiosity, the commander looked back at the empty door, feeling irritated for no reason, "Tsk, hurry up, don't dawdle, the slower you go, the shorter your rest time will be!"
The guard wielding the sword responded repeatedly, complaining in his heart that the sword was getting harder and harder to use, so he raised it high and dropped it quickly.
The moment she stepped into the Hall of Rejuvenation, something shining dazzled Lin Rongyan's eyes. It seemed like the knife with cold light, or the tears in Jin Yu's eyes.
"don't want--"
There was finally nothing left for Lin Rongyan to miss in this deep palace.
Long after that day passed, the commander of the Royal Forest Army could still recall Concubine Rong holding a head and wailing in a hissing voice.
The mournful cry was even scarier than the exaggerated cries he heard in dramas. He vividly remembered that when he ordered people to separate the concubine and the head, this seemingly weak woman actually used her nails to cut the head.
Three deep marks were dug into the ground.
Eventually the song ends and everyone disperses. No matter how painful the crying is, it becomes silent in the end.
