Chapter 356 Fire and water are incompatible
Just look at how ruthless these guys are. They directly emptied the inner treasury of the Beidi Palace and the Beidi Queen's family.
When they left, the gang was still in a panic, suspicious of each other, blaming each other, and almost hitting each other with swords.
Only when an elderly elder stepped in to dissuade the two sides did the tension between the two sides cease.
The elder said, "It is Eternal Heaven. Eternal Heaven has sent down punishment."
Everyone was startled, and the more they thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
If it wasn’t Changshengtian, how do you explain what happened yesterday?
First, fires broke out one after another in the place where the military horses were trained. The horses were frightened by the fire and ran away.
As he ran, the fire on his body grew bigger due to the wind.
That’s not all.
Before they could figure out what had happened to the horses on fire, three boys from the Western Qiang with distinct features were discovered by the queen's family.
When they were found, they were fainted in the courtyard of the Queen's family home. The roots of the three boys' thighs were stained with blood and they urgently needed to stop the bleeding.
He quickly summoned the imperial physician, who was so frightened after the examination that he almost threw away the medicine box.
He pointed his finger at the children's genitals, trembling with fear. After a long while, he finally said, "All...all of them, castrate them."
Everyone was shocked and looked down at the three boys.
He was well-dressed, with fair skin and tender flesh, and it was obvious that he was from a wealthy family.
Could it be that he was a child from a noble family in Xiqiang who had wandered here?
Just as he was thinking this, one of the children groaned softly. The imperial physician hurriedly gave him acupuncture, and the child groaned again.
The imperial physician looked up blankly at the queen in front of him.
"My Queen, he said, he, he said, Father, it hurts."
Father emperor?
Father!
The Queen of Beidi was so frightened that her soul almost flew away.
Oh my god.
Who can tell her what happened?
How could the princes of Xiqiang appear in her mother's tribe? Who had castrated them? And then dumped them in front of the tribe's largest tent.
Everyone knows that the people in this tent are the queen's biological parents. This clearly tells everyone that these little princes were harmed by the queen's family.
What will others think?
Would you think that the Queen had to castrate someone instead of doing something else?
If the Western Qiang march in full force, the disaster will be caused by the Queen's mother's family, and will definitely cause the people to lose their support.
The queen was anxious and ordered people to investigate thoroughly.
Before the situation here could be pacified, trouble broke out over there with the Emperor.
In the Beidi palace, the emperor was watching the dancer's enchanting dance in a trance, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and in the blink of an eye, there was nothing.
Then he started to feel hot.
The emperor was very familiar with this feeling. He stood up and went to the bedroom. The eunuch who was serving him understood what he meant and casually ordered two dancers to go in.
After a while, some suggestive sounds were heard from the bedroom.
Just as the young eunuch was about to find a place to rest for a while, he heard the voice inside suddenly change in tone. Two terrified and shrill screams came out, scaring the young eunuch so much that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The personal bodyguard rushed in without a word.
The first thing that caught my eye was two naked dancers, who were sitting on the ground and backing away in fear.
Then there was the emperor lying limply on the bed, and next to him was a woman who was in a coma.
The guard rushed to the bedside, lifted the emperor onto his shoulders, and carried him to the small couch nearby.
The other two guards drew their swords and placed the tips of their swords against the woman's neck. The woman was unconscious and still sleeping.
The dancer was taken out for interrogation, but the emperor couldn't wake her up no matter what. He called the imperial physician over, and the physician said that the emperor had been drugged and would not wake up for an hour.
The guards tied up the sleeping woman and waited for her to wake up before punishing her.
After an hour, the emperor finally woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw many people standing in front of me, all with serious expressions, staring at me nervously.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The eunuch stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty... there's news that the Empress's family has captured three young princes from the Western Qiang and castrated them. This is quite a big deal, and I'm afraid the news has already spread to the Western Qiang territory. I'm afraid..."
His eyes rolled, "I'm afraid Xiqiang won't let this go."
The emperor frowned, "When did it happen?"
"Just now, when Your Majesty fell asleep." The eunuch was nervous, afraid that the emperor would be blamed for the drug. If others said he had not served the emperor well, his head would be in danger.
Since that was the case, it would be better to connect this matter with the fact that the Queen's mother's family castrated the young prince of Xiqiang. So he said, "You were so sleepy just now that you couldn't wake up. The imperial physician examined you and found that someone had drugged you."
The emperor was startled and sat up straight. "What did you say?"
The eunuch knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, someone drugged you and threw a concubine from the Western Qiang into your bed..."
The room was very quiet. There were the imperial physician, guards, and several of the eldest prince's staff.
Ever since the eldest prince was killed by the queen, all the staff have been under the emperor's command.
One of the staff members said, "Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter."
The emperor looked at him.
The man said, "Your Majesty, think about it. Just as the news of the Empress's mother's family castrating the Western Qiang prince broke out, you were drugged and found lying with a Western Qiang concubine. How could such a coincidence happen?"
The Emperor narrowed his eyes. "You're saying that the Empress failed to cover up the castration of the Western Qiang prince, and because she panicked, she wanted to shift the blame elsewhere and throw the Western Qiang concubine onto my bed, so that people would think I was the one who ordered it all?"
"Your Majesty is wise," the aide said. "I think so too. After all, you and the Queen are incompatible, but outsiders don't understand. They only see you and the Queen as one. Whenever there is any movement on the Queen's side, outsiders will automatically assume that you are also involved."
"Take this castration incident, for example. Outsiders already believe you were involved, but the Queen doesn't think that's enough. She wants everyone to think you were the mastermind. How can you do that? Simply give you a concubine from the Western Qiang Palace. You even stole the women of the Western Qiang Emperor, so why can't you castrate a few Western Qiang princes? I'm basically convinced that even that concubine was abducted by someone from the Queen's mother's family, so they can use her to deflect the blame on you."
"The Empress and I are sworn enemies," the Emperor stood up abruptly, slammed the table hard, and gritted his teeth, "Tell me, how are your preparations going?"
The staff looked at each other, gathered around the emperor, and lowered their voices, saying, "We had almost all the men and horses ready, but that inexplicable fire burned many tamed horses. We didn't dare to act rashly, but..."
