Chapter 341

The little eunuch who came to deliver the meal was shocked, he hurriedly asked the guards guarding Jingning Palace: "Did the Empress Dowager come out last night?"

The guards of Jingning Palace looked unhappy.

What does it mean to have come out?The emperor ordered them to be guarded tightly. If the queen mother is allowed to come out, wouldn't it be a crime of ineffective guarding?

"Of course it didn't come out."

The little eunuch said: "But just now, the servant yelled for a long time, but no one answered."

"Maybe I overslept," the guard said indifferently, "Anyway, it's not the first time the Queen Mother has skipped meals."

The little eunuch begged repeatedly, and the guards helped, saying that they would urge the queen mother to take the food in later.

Whether to eat or not is the Queen Mother's business, but if it is not delivered to the Queen Mother, then the little eunuch is negligent and lazy.

The guard put the food on the window sill and took a nap by himself, but he didn't expect that the food would not move at all when he woke up.

The guard had no choice but to push open the window impatiently and yell inside, but no one answered after a few calls. His eyeballs looked around the room a few times and found something was wrong.

The Empress Dowager is not in Jingning Palace!
The guard was panicked at this moment, and he went to report to Eunuch Li in fear. Eunuch Li looked unpredictable, lost his temper at the guard, and finally said: "This matter is of great importance. If the emperor pursues it, the Sa family will not be able to help you." ! Don’t bring anyone to look for it yet!”

The guards responded again and again.

Emperor Jiawen raised his head from the memorial, Eunuch Li said softly, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiawen gave a "hmm" and rubbed his forehead: "Let's go to Jingning Palace."

This is the first time Jingning Palace has been so lively in the past two months. There are guards coming to search inside and out.

It is really unbelievable that the Empress Dowager, a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, can disappear in the heavily guarded Jingning Palace.

"Your Majesty!" A guard ran out in a hurry, "I found a secret passage under the Queen Mother's bed!"

The opening of that secret passage was only the size of the mouth of an ordinary bucket, and it was very narrow. The guard poked his head in, knocked with the hilt of his sword, and then threw the hilt of the sword forcefully. After feeling out the environment inside, he reported: " Back to the emperor, this passage is very deep, and the inside is a little wider, but it can still only accommodate one person."

Emperor Jiawen pointed out a few thin people and ordered them to go down and investigate.

After walking a few steps, there was a strong smell of blood in their noses. Several guards holding fire folders looked at each other in blank dismay, and when they walked for a while and saw the scene ahead clearly, they couldn't help shouting.

Eunuch Li asked outside: "What's the matter?"

The people inside did not answer, and after a while, a guard crawled out from the passage. His face was red and black, and the smell of mud was stained with blood, and he said in a trembling voice: "The emperor... the queen mother, the queen mother is dead. !"

As soon as this remark made everyone startled, Emperor Jiawen took a half step back and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

The guards stretched their arms in and pulled, and the people below lifted them vigorously. Gradually, the queen mother's blood-stained body was brought up. Her complexion was black and her body was cold and stiff. She had been dead for a long time.

Emperor Jiawen was furious: "Who sneaked into the Jingning Palace and made a move? Are you people living for nothing?"

The little guard, who was shaking like a sieve, swallowed his saliva, raised his head eagerly, and said with a voice like a mosquito: "...Yes, it is King Duan."

The corpse of King Duan was also lifted up.
