Chapter 75 Moonlit Night
Not far from the Punishment Department is the Yumajian, which is one of the most leisurely places in the palace.Originally, winter hunting was the only thing to do throughout the year, but since Emperor Xian's health weakened during the Shunping period, until now, there has not been a winter hunting held in ten years.The imperial horse prison has become a decoration, and the number of horses raised has also been reduced from more than a hundred to more than 20 now.

The guard on duty in the horse prison was sitting at the door of the stable and taking a nap when two people suddenly entered the yard.

Under the darkness, he couldn't see the person's clothes clearly, and it was inconvenient to identify him, so he asked from a distance, "Who is it?"

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

The little guard shuddered and stood up from his seat.

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

He was short in stature, and when he stood up, he was half his head lower than Ye Qinghuai, so he could only look up at her.

Seeing her with one arm hanging, the little guard couldn't help stammering: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you... your hand, I'm afraid... it's not convenient for you to mount a horse."

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

"I will let you lead the horse."

Her tone was calm, but her eyes seemed to kill someone.

"Little leader, little leader." The little guard responded and ran to the stable.

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

Ye Qinghuai snatched a horse rein from him in a hurry, stepped on the stirrup with one foot, pulled the saddle with her right hand, and got on the horse.

She originally had long legs, but because she was thin and didn't have much weight, it didn't seem strenuous to get on the horse with one hand.

Ye Qinghuai grabbed the reins with her right hand, turned around, stepped across the courtyard gate, and galloped away.

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

The little guard was left alone, standing stupidly in the yard for a long time, staring at the direction they were going away.

He suddenly felt that the wind in the imperial city was about to change.
-
Ye Qinghuai did not go to Chengtian Gate, but to Donglin Gate.

When she brought Qin Yang to Donglinmen, it was already willow shoots on the moon.

There is no one on duty at the east gate. There are six candles along the wall in the door opening, all of which are already lit. Two guards wearing inner court guard uniforms are cleaning the battlefield. There are seven or eight buckets inside the door, some of which are full. Water, some are already empty.While the guard scooped up the water in the bucket and splashed it on the road, he was scrubbing the stone wall with something in his hand.

Water is everywhere on the bluestone road, and the water is mixed with a touch of blood.

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

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

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

According to Li Baoquan, more than 200 people died here today, far more intense than the battle outside Chengtian Gate.

It has been more than half a day now, but we can still get a glimpse of the brutality of the battle at that time.

"Which school do you belong to?" Ye Qinghuai rode his horse forward a few steps, and stopped in front of a guard who was splashing water and cleaning.

The guard raised his head and saw a person riding on the horse with one arm hanging and one hand. The face of the person who came could not be seen clearly in the dim light of the fire, and the guard was taken aback for a moment.

It was the first time he had seen someone riding a horse in Miyagi.

"I'm asking you something!" Ye Qinghuai raised her voice.

The guard immediately lowered his head when he heard her voice, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I am from the Sixth Guard of the Zuoya Guard's Personal Guard Infantry. I have been ordered by Eunuch Li to assist the Imperial Hospital to clean up the battlefield. At present The bodies and wounded have been removed and final cleaning is being done."

Ye Qinghuai nodded, it seemed that he belonged to Li Baoquan.She relaxed a little and asked, "When did you come here? What was the situation here at that time?"

"When I came here, it was just getting dark, and it was probably just after Youzheng. At that time, the fighting at Donglinmen had ended, and all the Youya guards were transferred to Chengtianmen. The rest here were dead and wounded soldiers. The fight was fierce in the afternoon, and the main battlefield should be where your Majesty is standing now. The corpses, stacked on top of each other and as tall as half a person, were all You Yawei. The whole doorway was full of blood, It flowed outside the door, and the soles of my boots were soaked in blood at that time."

After speaking, he lifted up his boots, and Ye Qinghuai saw that the soles of his white boots had completely turned into a rust-like maroon, which was terrifying to see.

Ye Qinghuai gasped.

She vaguely remembered that the place where she reined in her horse was the place where she and Lu Yanchen were separated.

At that time, he had promised her that he would never let a Youya guard step out of the gate of Donglinmen.

It can be seen that he did.

at an extremely dire price.

"When you were carrying the corpses and the wounded, did you ever see the emperor Lu Yanchen?" After Ye Qinghuai asked, thinking that he might not know Lu Yanchen, he added, "He wears a black narrow sleeve robes, tall, and holding a long knife with a slightly curved point 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 the long knife, it should be in the imperial hospital."

"Too much in the hospital?"

"The long knife was stuck in the chest of a wounded man. The people in the imperial hospital refused to pull it out. They said that if it was pulled out, the person disappeared, so he sent him to the imperial hospital with the knife." Seeing the emperor's silence, he again He added, "I can't be mistaken. It's a precious sword, which is different from the guard's sword. Although the sword hurts people, there is no blood on the sword."

"I'm afraid it's Shaodong's sword." Qin Yang rushed up from behind Ye Qinghuai, just as he heard the guard's description.

Ye Qinghuai turned her head and looked at him.

The eyes of the two are exactly the same dignified, with a little panic.

Samurai have never left their arms, but now that the sword is in the hands and the people are away, it is natural that there are more dangers than fortune.

"Qin Yang, go to the imperial hospital and look for Mr.'s knife. Whether you find it or not, come to Mr.'s mansion in two quarters of an hour to look for me."

After Ye Qinghuai gave his orders, without waiting for him to answer, he rode his horse and galloped away to Donglin Gate.

Now Lu Yanchen only has two places to go.

First, he was not seriously injured and had to evacuate early due to the situation, so even if he was not in the mansion at the moment, he should be able to ask about his situation in the mansion.

The second... There is no second.There can be no other.

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 of one man and one horse was stretched very long.
