There was no one in the hall.
The dragon throne was also empty.
A gust of wind blew in with snowflakes, and whistled in the empty hall for a while. The sound of wind not only did not weaken, but became heavier, making the palace lanterns and plaques in the hall shake slightly. Finally, the gust of wind rushed to the top of the high hall and turned into a sigh.
We were standing at the door, unable to speak at this moment.
Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a long time and finally walked forward.
But just as he took a step into the hall, he suddenly heard a rumble sound, which came from the top of his head again. Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw the plaque of the commanded plaque hanging directly above was trembling slightly. At first, I thought it was the wind blowing the plaque that made it tremble, but gradually, everyone felt something was wrong.
The plaque fell from the beam of the house and hit the ground with a clang, falling in half!
A burst of smoke and dust rose, and the loud noise rumbling endlessly, and even rushed out of the open door, spreading far from the imperial city!
Everyone was shocked.
Xie Feng immediately said, "Young Master, wait!"
The step Pei Yuanxiu took to stop suddenly.
Xie Feng changed the sword in his right hand to his left hand. I saw him quietly pinching his fingers, then walked to Pei Yuanxiu, and said with his ears: "I'm afraid it's not the right time."
“…”
"Young Master, don't rush into the hall."
“…”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid-"
Hearing him say this, Pei Yuanxiu's face had no expression, only the wind kept blowing from behind him into the hall, and also blew his long hair. Between the messy hair, the dark pupils were as uneven as a bottomless deep pool. He slowly said: "I can't wait for the time of heaven, and the time of heaven never waits for me. If I have to wait until God gives me a chance, then I may, haha, I don't know where it is now."
Hearing him say this, Xie Feng was stunned for a moment and was speechless.
So everyone watched Pei Yuanxiu take a step further and enter the hall.
Suddenly, the endless rumble stopped.
He walked to the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, looked down at the broken plaque, and slowly recited: "According to the command of God..."
His back was facing us, and no one saw what expression was on his face at this moment. But after reading the four words, he shook his head gently, as if he had smiled, then raised his head, looked at the empty dragon throne directly in front of the hall, and said softly: "Those who are virtuous live..."
“…”
"Those who are virtuous live?"
“…”
"How many truly virtuous people can get here?"
When he said this, his tone was still very calm, but his voice was a bit hoarse and even heavier.
And this sentence brings people's memories back to the past.
The imperial edict left by Pei Ji when he was seriously ill, and the imperial edict I found with him, once left a sentence: Those with virtue stay here.
But at that time, Pei Yuanhao broke into the imperial city. He clearly told me that the one who failed was the virtuous!
Everyone stood outside the hall and heard him say these words, and seemed to be in deep thought for a moment.
But at this time, I could no longer think of anything. What else happened in the palace? Since Xie Houqi's people attacked from the palace gate in the north, they should be in the harem now!
Harem...
There were all people there who were powerless, and those soldiers like wolves and tigers killed the unarmed people on the streets. Now they broke into the harem, but I am afraid that the situation will be worse than what I just saw!
And my wonderful words...
When I thought of this, I couldn't stop for a moment, so I turned around and ran to the side.
Originally, all of them were focused on Pei Yuanxiu, but as soon as I ran away, Hua Zhu immediately called "Miss Yan" to chase after him.
Pei Yuanxiu also immediately walked out of the hall.
I didn't care about them at all, and they knew that I was not going to run away at this moment, but just wanted to find out what was going on behind me - because just now, there seemed to be another scream in the wind, so no one came up to stop me, just following me tightly. Just as I entered a palace gate and a long corridor appeared in front of me, my eager steps stopped suddenly.
Pei Yuanxiu was originally following me, but at this time he almost ran into me. Seeing me shaking for a moment, he immediately reached out to hold my shoulder and stopped.
He said: "Little, why are you-"
Before he finished speaking, he was cut off.
Because he saw the scene in front of him like me.
In this long corridor, dozens of corpses were lying in a row, including little palace maids, little eunuchs, and some wounded guards. They didn't know how long they had been dead, and their clothes were stained with blood, but the wounds could not be bleeding. The blood that had already flowed out dyed the entire corridor with dazzling blood.
Where I stood, the blood, had even begun to condense!
The strong smell of blood kept coming, like an invisible blow again and again. At this time, I was almost knocked down!
Feeling my whole body trembling, Pei Yuanxiu's hand pressed a little harder, as if he was about to pull me back: "Light!"
I pushed his hand away with my backhand and walked forward step by step.
I tried my best not to step on them. Although I knew that before this, they might have experienced the greatest pain in the world and would not care about this little pain again; I also knew that in fact, they had no feeling at all and had completely freed from the pain in the world, but I was still careful, walking between the corpse and the corpse, looking at each young face, the expression of horror and despair on it was almost heartbreaking.
What I fear the most is seeing a familiar face.
But there are really faces here. Not long after I left the capital, I was too familiar with the people in the palace. The little eunuchs who had come to me to smile and beat Qiu Feng with a smile, saw that I might be about to rise and try my best to curry favor with the little palace maids and guards who hoped to get the opportunity to be promoted... They were all alive, but now, lying in the cold snow, I have no idea it is cold.
I trembled and walked through this path of death, then raised my head and looked forward.
At the end of this corridor, there were shrill crying sounds coming from the open door.
