Not long after the Four Divine Guards completed their mission to assassinate Si Hao and left the palace,
The commander of the Imperial Guards, Xu Yuanliang, had also rushed to the entrance of the Hall of Unity.
At this moment, Yuan He Palace Hall was already surrounded by Imperial Guards inside and outside, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Even Xu Yuanliang couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when he saw the miserable situation.
Dozens of Imperial Guards surrounded the Unity Origin Hall, but they did not even have the chance to call for help.
Everyone's throats were slit with a knife, or their hearts were directly broken by the powerful inner strength.
It was hard to imagine how terrifying the methods and strength of these assassins were. It was as if they had been specially trained in assassination techniques.
If it wasn't for the fact that a servant had accidentally discovered the peculiarity in Yuanhe Palace Hall and the shrieks had attracted the imperial guards to investigate,
He didn't know how long it would take for him to realize that this Unity Origin Hall had already become a hall of death.
Xu Yuanliang's footsteps were hurried, and his expression was extremely solemn. He rushed directly toward the inner hall of the Unity Origin Palace.
When they entered the inner hall, they saw that the guards were already kneeling on the ground.
In front of the guards, a young man in a bright yellow dragon robe was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
Looking at his face again, who else could it be but Si Hao?!
Si Hao's eyes were wide open and his lips were black. He was clearly dead.
He looked horrified as if he had seen something terrifying before he died.
The fatal wound on his chest was a bowl-sized gash, and the blood had already turned dark black.
"Commander, the Emperor was assassinated by an assassin and has fallen.”
Upon seeing Xu Yuanliang enter, one of the officers quickly warned him.
When Xu Yuanliang heard this, he immediately felt his heart beating violently.
For a moment, even with his mental fortitude and experience as an official, he felt his head buzzing and empty.
As the commander of the palace guards, he had actually let an assassin assassinate the current Emperor of the Zhen Wu Dynasty under his nose.
If he was to be punished, he would definitely not be able to escape!
But what was going on with these assassins?
They had already touched the Yuanhe Hall, yet no one had discovered the tens of miles long palace!
Entering the palace was like entering a no-man's land!
"Search!"
"Even if you have to turn the palace upside down, you have to find the assassin!
In such a short period of time, it was impossible for the assassin to leave the palace. He had to capture the assassin! Otherwise, we will all lose our lives!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Here!"
……
At this moment, the imperial guards felt that this matter was extremely important, as if it had pierced through the heavens.
For a moment, they all accepted the order and did not dare to disobey.
However, just as he was about to join the search army, he saw a commotion coming from outside Yuan He Hall.
Following which, a middle-aged woman in a phoenix robe, who looked to be in her thirties, stepped into the Yuan He Palace with messy footsteps.
Her expression was flustered, and the hair on her forehead was a little messy. She was also wearing a simple cloak over her phoenix robe.
It could be seen that tonight's incident was sudden. The middle-aged woman had probably already fallen asleep. Now that she had received the bad news, she naturally could not care less and hurriedly went to the Hall of Origin to verify.
"Greetings, Empress Dowager!"
"Greetings, Empress Dowager…"
As soon as the middle-aged woman entered the inner hall, even the commander of the imperial guards, Xu Yuanliang, hurriedly greeted her.
The guards beside him also greeted him.
The middle-aged woman was Empress Dowager Zhao Hua of the Zhen Wu Empire, and also the birth mother of Emperor Si Hao.
As soon as Consort Li stepped into the inner hall, her gaze immediately scanned the entire hall.
He was completely oblivious to the sound of worship in his ears, as if he had lost his soul.
The imperial robe displayed the imperial power. It was bright and colorful, and it was extremely easy to detect.
Therefore…
Consort Li's gaze quickly landed on a figure in a bright yellow imperial robe lying on the ground.
When she saw that Si Hao's face, which she was so familiar with, had turned stiff and black, she said,
Consort Li immediately felt her inner world begin to collapse violently.
Boundless darkness pressed down on her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
That feeling was no different from the sky collapsing.
When he was afraid of the bad news along the way,
Suddenly, such a bloody and naked scene appeared in front of his eyes.
At this moment, Consort Li suddenly felt a wave of foul air assaulting her head.
Then, in the next moment, he was so agitated by the cruel scene in front of him that he fainted.
"Empress Dowager…"
"Empress Dowager…"
Xu Yuanliang hurriedly called out. The female officials and female attendants who had come with Consort Li also panicked and hurriedly called out.
"Da da da-"
……
Just as this was happening, hurried footsteps came from outside the Yuan He Palace, as if something had happened.
In the next moment, the Imperial Guards commandant who had rushed over after the Four Divine Guards left the south gate stepped into the inner hall.
After seeing Xu Yuanliang, he quickly bowed and reported,"
"Commander, we found traces of assassins at the south gate.
However, the hundreds of imperial guards who had sealed off the Nangong Gate were unable to resist for even a moment before they were all killed by the assassins!
The subordinate checked the corpse. Even a lieutenant who had reached the peak of body refinement was killed with a single slash.
I suspect that the lowest cultivation of these people is in the Postnatal realm. It is very likely that they are an assassin organization.
With the Nangong Gate opened, these assassins had probably already escaped from the palace.”
The commandant said.
" What?!"
After hearing the news reported by the commandant, Xu Yuanliang felt his head swell.
On one side was the Emperor, whose corpse was not yet cold, and on the other side was the Empress Dowager, who had already fainted from the shock of the Emperor's assassination.
Now, an assassin had escaped from the palace…
Even Xu Yuanliang felt extremely frustrated and exhausted.
