Chapter 1702 - 1702 Attack at the Court 1
1702 Attack at the Court 1
“Everything will proceed according to the plan. Just pretend as if we were never here,” Zhou Huaijin said calmly.
“Yes”
***
It was the end of summer, in the month of July in the 24th year of the land.
It was a very bleak and quiet night, then noise arose. When listening carefully, people could hear the clashing of weapons.
People from the Shadow Door broke through the gate and rushed into the court.
The imperial army did not expect that. No one had predicted that someone would rebel, and that the rebels were from a social institution called the Shadow Door.
No one from the imperial family was able to rebel.
Battles started at the gate, and soon, there was blood everywhere.
The palaces and court within the gate witnessed many people going about with money in their hands.
After a while, the King woke up from his bed in Qianqing Palace, and heard the noise outside. He wondered if he was dreaming or facing the truth.
It had never been this noisy in the court and no noise would reach the place that he lived.
What was going on?
The King did not get angry, but stood up to see what was going on outside.
He had just opened the door when Yang Xin hurried in, “My King, something is wrong! People from the Shadow Door are rebelling and the gate is defenseless now!”
“What?” The King could not understand what was going on?
He had just been planning to get the immortal pills and to remove the Shadow Door from his sight.
He had planned how to get Golden Rolls after he woke up, after the Phoenix Girl had thought about his threats, so… why was the plan different from his?
The Shadow Door rebelled?
That Head in a silver mask wanted the throne? How dare he!?
“Take people to take the opportunity and bring down the people from Shadow Door now! And inform the Ministry of Architecture and the Ministry of Military to get as many people as possible,” the King said quietly.
He had witnessed many rebels like this, and yet none ended up well.
A social institution would not be a match against the imperial family.
Yang Xin felt that was a good idea.
“I will do that now!”
He hurried away.
The King went into Qianqing Palace quietly, but lost the intention to sleep. He just sat in his chair.
For some reason, he lost his patience after sitting.
He suddenly thought of the Queen. He always went to the Queen’s yard to find quiet there in Weiyang Palace.
The King left directly. He was about to call De Fu, but he was not around, so he had to go there alone.
The King was very unhappy about being there alone, but he still went there alone.
Yang Xin did not see the King in Qianqing Palace when he came back. He asked the servants who gave him no answers.
How could that be possible!?
Yang Xin had no idea what to do.
He did not get to inform anyone to help, because people from Shadow Door had occupied the court.
Yang Xin thought for a while and turned around, but was stopped by the hidden guards from Shadow Door.
The other hidden guards rushed into Qianqing Palace.
“Head, the King is not in Qianqing Palace!”
