Xie Yunchen wanted to reassure the person in front of him. He was telling him that he was himself and that he was nothing but a servant by his side.
The reason why he let the Retired Emperor and the Empress Dowager enter the secret passage was not for his safety, but to allow his shadow to act without any scruples.
After all, he was Xie Yunchen's shadow. As a shadow, he should be more arbitrary. If Xie Yunchen was not around, this shadow had to rely on its own strength to turn the tables. This was also the reason why Xie Yunchen had given up his authority. As his shadow, it had to be able to stand on its own.
As for the Empress Dowager and the Retired Emperor, he had never been worried. Their martial arts were enough to resist everything. Moreover, at this moment, they were within the scope of his ability. Even if they encountered a strong enemy, nothing would happen. This was why he was not in a hurry to return to the Prince's mansion, but was in a hurry to enter the palace.
Xie Yunchen had calculated everything too meticulously. He weighed the pros and cons. He had already come up with many plans in his heart. If the emperor allowed him to stay in the palace, he would implement another plan instead of changing blood. After all, without him, his shadow would definitely not be able to defeat his father and mother!
Since he had already returned to the Imperial Residence, he could only let it go. At the very least, his mother was much less guarded against him than against others. She would also follow his father and listen to his arrangements.
"Master, don't worry. As your shadow, it's enough to let you rest easy!”Lying in the emperor's shadow, his voice was extremely calm. At this moment, he seemed to have become another Xie Yunchen.
The Shadow knew that if he truly wanted to become another Xie Yunchen, he had to be indifferent to everything and indifferent to the vicissitudes of life. He had to be unfazed by all the blows and injuries, as if none of these things had happened to him.
Even if there were tens of thousands of corpses and skeletons in front of him, his expression would not change much. At most, he would only smile faintly.
He had been working hard in the direction of Xie Yunchen. At this moment, he was already able to barely retract his mind. Only the heavens knew how difficult it was to be so indifferent. Although he was somewhat like him now, those who were familiar with Xie Yunchen would easily be able to tell that he was not him!
What kind of state of mind could reach Xie Yunchen's level? As his shadow and his subordinate, he had to admire him!
Xie Yunchen did not say anything. Instead, he walked to the bed and turned around to face the shadow on the bed. He stood there without moving.
For some reason, the moon tonight was extremely big. The usual bright moonlight was a little red, and the usual starlight was nowhere to be seen. It was as if they were afraid of something and were hiding in the dark.
At this moment, there was no one on the street. In this summer, a gust of wind blew past, causing people to shudder. Under the cover of the night, the lush trees actually became a little dark. Even the person who usually worked as a night watchman could not help but clench the lantern in his hand and quicken his pace.
All of this seemed to indicate that tonight would be a night of injustice…
In the night, countless black shadows flew past the roofs of various houses. When they reached a city wall, they quickly separated and sped in two directions, disappearing into the night.
Before long, the originally quiet First Prince's manor was filled with screams and some noise.
Following the screams of corpses, the smell of blood continued to spread. In a short while, it spread throughout the entire mansion.
As the black shadows landed on the ground, the killing continued, but not many people came out to resist. This made the black-robed man who led the charge feel a little confused and puzzled. However, as more and more people were killed and more and more people were lying on the ground as cold corpses, the confusion and confusion in his heart disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, he no longer thought about why this assassination was so smooth. He only thought about what kind of reward he would receive from Prince Ning after this mission was over.
At this moment, a large number of black-robed men had also barged into the Imperial Palace. They quickly made their way towards the main hall where the Emperor was. At first, they did not encounter any obstruction from Yi Hao. However, as time passed and the distance between them and the palace shortened, they felt that it was extremely strange.
Before they could think about why the palace was so strange, a large number of imperial guards surged up from all directions and surrounded them in the blink of an eye. Then, an invisible net descended from the sky and covered all of them.
They panicked and tried to escape from the net, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not escape.
Just as they were feeling extremely anxious, their surroundings instantly lit up. Countless torches chased away the darkness in this area. Following the appearance of these flames, the people trapped in the large net could not help but be greatly shocked, and their eyes were filled with shock.
The large net that restrained them actually emitted a cold light under the illumination of the fire. The silver and thin net was the legendary hanging instrument. This instrument of torture had been abolished by the late emperor when he ascended the throne.
However, it had appeared at this moment. Without thinking, the group of black-robed men had already guessed a thing or two. Their hearts could not help but fall to the bottom.
Everyone knew that this torture tool was not just a simple net. This net was filled with poison. This poison was colorless and odorless, and would not cause anyone to feel it. The silver threads on this net were even sharper than sharp blades.
As long as they tried to escape, they would be cut by the silver threads of the net. As their bodies were cut, the poison in their bodies would also be revealed, causing them to struggle with all their might. The more they struggled, the sharper the silver net became. Their flesh and blood would fall from the net as they struggled. When they completely stopped struggling, their lives would completely disappear.
This kind of punishment was like a thousand cuts, but it was much more uncomfortable than a thousand cuts. Not only were they unable to control the poison in their bodies, but they also had to cut off their flesh and blood as the poison took effect. They would only stop when they died. Just thinking about such a terrifying thing made them shudder.
They did not dare to act rashly at this moment, afraid that they would lose their lives if they were not careful. Even so, they were destined to not be able to escape this calamity!
When the huge net fell, as they tried to escape from the net, they had already cut countless places on their bodies. Although they did not want to move, they twisted their bodies crazily in the next moment. Only after several hours did a pile of white bones and flesh and blood remain where the huge net was. The smell of their blood continued to spread out and did not disappear for a long time.
This group of people died tragically in the palace. They did not even look at the emperor before they died without a complete corpse. The moment they died, the imperial guards around them began to clean up their corpses. Their speed was shocking, as if these imperial guards had been trained.
Xie Yunchen's Imperial Residence was also covered in blood. However, the ones who died were the people in the Imperial Residence and not the black-robed men who had suddenly barged in.
As more and more people were killed, the group of men in black became more and more pleased with themselves. However, before they could be pleased for long, they realized that something was wrong. However, by the time they realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.
The master bedroom that was originally dark suddenly lit up. Xie Yunchen was supported by a hunchbacked old man. Although Xie Yunchen looked very weak at this moment, the coldness in his eyes made people shudder.
He lowered his eyes slightly and raised his other hand that was not supported. In the next moment, the sound of bows being drawn came from the surroundings. The group of men in black were surrounded by countless cold lights.
Their expressions became more and more solemn. They quickly gathered together. They had originally planned to use their strength to charge out of the arrow rain, but in the next moment, a huge iron dragon fell from the sky without warning and trapped the gathered men in black.
The group of men in black closed their eyes in resignation, waiting for death to come. However, after a long time, they did not suffer the pain they had expected.
Xie Yunchen slowly spoke,"Seal their acupuncture points for this king, then transport them into the palace along with the cages. Make a record of these people who died in the prince's residence and have them buried. Then, pay a sum of money from the accountant to their families!”
Xie Yunchen took a deep breath after he finished speaking. He stabilized his body and said,"Ning Wang rebelled and should be punished according to the crime! "Immediately send someone to summon them into the palace in my name…" Before he could finish speaking, he had already fainted.
The old man standing at the side had an inexplicable look in his eyes. He had to admire this shadow who was pretending to faint beside him.
From the looks of it, the unconscious Xie Yunchen had already pushed all of his weight onto the old man who was supporting him. Only the old man knew that the weight of his body was being carried by the fake Xie Yunchen who was pretending to be unconscious.
It had to be said that as Xie Yunchen's shadow, he did a good job. Even though he pretended to faint, he did not forget to worry about Xie Yunchen's body!
Just as Prince Ning's matter was about to come to an end by Xie Yunchen, Lan Yue, who was grounded, had been running a fever for several days. At this moment, she was already a little confused.
Normally, even if Xie Yunchen was not around, she would still be able to receive good treatment. However, it was very different now. Not to mention that there were not many servants here, even the fact that she was grounded had affected her greatly.
The people guarding the door would never disturb Lan Yue without making a sound. Lan Yue's illness was very sudden this time. Before she could open her mouth, she had already started burning up. As time passed, she became more and more seriously ill, and no one paid attention to her. Even the food that was sent in every day did not attract the attention of the man in black.
Usually, he was only responsible for sending the food boxes in. When Lan Yue was in a good mood, she would put the empty bowl of leftovers into the food box after eating. Therefore, the black-robed guard did not pay much attention to the intact food box, which delayed Lan Yue's treatment.
