Chapter 225 Cleansing the Palace
Shi Bin breathed a sigh of relief. He had been following Li Jinhui and was extremely nervous, fearing that he might not be careful enough and expose his true colors.
"Take your men and clean up the palace quickly. The bloody smell in the yard is really disgusting."
"Yes, I will send someone to clean up the palace right away."
The sun slowly rose, and under the scorching sunlight, the entire Qin Palace was filled with an extremely unpleasant smell. Almost everyone who passed by the gate of Qin Palace could not help but cover their mouths and noses.
There were some curious people who didn't know what was going on and couldn't help but ask why such a disgusting smell suddenly came from the Prince Qin's Mansion.
"You are stupid. You can't even smell such a strong smell of blood."
"Is this the smell of blood? Why do I smell gunpowder?"
A few idle people started arguing about what kind of smell was coming from the Qin Palace.
They were arguing heatedly when suddenly the tightly closed side door of the palace creaked open, and a team of people carried corpses out of the palace one after another and placed them on a carriage.
The quarrel just now stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the palace.
One body, two bodies, and when they saw ten bodies being carried out, they all stepped back in fear, fearing that they would be contaminated by something bad.
"What happened in the Qin Palace? Why did so many people die?"
"Could it be that the King of Qin went crazy last night and killed so many people in one go?"
Someone whispered in fear.
Xiao Mo used to have a bad reputation in the capital. Everyone thought he was a prince with a weird and tyrannical personality, and the palace would bring someone out from time to time.
But the horrific scene of carrying out ten people at once like today has never happened before.
Ten bodies were piled on a carriage and taken away, and everyone thought that was the end of it.
Just as everyone was talking, another carriage came over.
The guards in the palace continued to carry the bodies out.
The onlookers watched as bodies were carried out one after another. There was an instant silence, and they all stared in a daze.
Almost everyone was silently counting the bodies being carried out. The second car also carried ten people.
Twenty people died in the Qin Palace overnight. This is too scary.
The carriage was too heavy and its wheels made a harsh squeak. Everyone present watched the carriage leave without saying a word.
Everyone seemed to be frightened.
They couldn't imagine that the Prince Qin's Mansion was probably no different from hell last night.
After a long while, the onlookers finally breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to ask each other for some information, only to see a horse-drawn carriage slowly driving over and stopping at the gate of the palace.
Now everyone present was like petrified, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
There are actually corpses?
Can't you?
Isn't it said that the King of Qin has become a better person since his marriage and is not as cruel as before? How could he kill so many people in one breath?
Under the gaze of everyone, six more corpses were carried out from the Qin Palace.
Afterwards, a large number of guards came with buckets to wash the entire palace, and the unpleasant smell finally dissipated a little.
The onlookers finally recovered from their shock.
They did not dare to talk loudly, as if if they spoke a little louder, it would disturb the souls of those who died inexplicably.
"Hey, I found out that the King of Qin didn't go crazy and kill people last night. These people were all killed by Northern Di assassins who were servants of the King of Qin's mansion."
"I heard from Liu the butcher who sells pork on the street that the assassins who were killed were taken out of the side door of the palace before daybreak. There were also more than a dozen of them."
"Oh my God, didn't 4 or 50 people die in the palace last night?"
"It's very likely. I heard that the Qin Palace was flooded with blood last night. The water in the lotus pond was dyed red, and the soil in the garden changed color."
Ordinary people would be lucky to see one or two dead bodies, but they have never seen a situation where there are 4 or 50 dead bodies.
When they imagined what happened in the Prince Qin's Mansion last night, they were all horrified. Even the eighteen levels of hell might not be as scary as the Prince Qin's Mansion.
So the onlookers ran away, leaving only a few people who were still watching from afar the guards carrying buckets of water, frequently entering and leaving the palace.
Such a big incident happened in the Prince Qin's Mansion, and people were watching for the whole morning. By the time Xiao Mo finished dealing with the matters in the mansion, the news of the bloodbath in the Prince Qin's Mansion had almost spread to every street and alley in the capital.
Those who were timid didn't even dare to walk towards the street where the Qin Palace was located, for fear of being contaminated by some strange things.
Xiao Mo, who had not slept all night, glanced at the guards who were cleaning the palace in an orderly manner and asked, "Where is the princess now?"
Jiang Heng said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is catching up on her sleep in Yingchun Pavilion right now."
"Let's go over and have a look."
Yingchun Pavilion is a two-story building. On weekdays, Ye Jintang would receive guests here and take a rest on the second floor at noon.
After the yard where she lived was made dirty last night, she ran to Yingchun Pavilion.
When Xiao Mo came over, he could smell a light scent of sandalwood from a distance, and it seemed that some special spices were added to the sandalwood. Although the smell was relatively light, it was able to suppress the strange smell in the palace.
The closer he got to Yingchun Pavilion, the stronger the sandalwood scent became. When he arrived at the entrance of Yingchun Pavilion, he could only smell the sandalwood scent, and the strange smell was completely gone.
"I've met the prince."
Luzhu, who was guarding the door, saluted Xiao Mo in a low voice.
"Where's your princess?"
"The queen is taking a rest upstairs. She should not be awake yet."
"Then I'll go up and take a look."
Xiao Mo wanted to go upstairs, but Luzhu blocked his way and refused to move.
"Green Pearl, what are you doing?"
"The queen said that no one should go up to disturb us."
"This king is not someone else."
Unfortunately, Luzhu didn't care whether the man in front of her was a prince or a nobody. She just stood there and refused to let him leave.
Xuetuan, who had been sleeping on the soft couch, heard the noise and jumped down from the couch, rushing over like a sharp arrow. If Luzhu had not shouted, he would have pounced directly on Xiao Mo.
A large white shadow passed by Xiao Mo's eyes, and he took a step back in fright.
"When did Snowball grow so big?"
Looking at the snowball standing next to Luzhu, whose body was even bigger than the dog, Xiao Mo was so surprised that he thought he was hallucinating.
When Xuetuan grew to 30 kilograms, he felt that it was much bigger than an ordinary cat. Now, looking at its shape, he is afraid that it is almost 50 kilograms, much bigger than an ordinary dog.
"I haven't seen Xuetuan for a few days. What did he eat to suddenly grow so much?"
Luzhu gently stroked Xuetuan's furry head to comfort him.
It is extremely sensitive. Just now, Xiao Mo wanted to break into the second floor of Yingchun Pavilion, causing Xuetuan to mistakenly think that he was a bad guy.
If Luzhu hadn't shouted, Xuetuan would have shown his claws to Xiao Mo.
At this moment, it was standing beside Luzhu, restlessly making unhappy gurgling sounds from time to time.
"Since Master Mu came to the palace, the queen has not only learned a lot of prescriptions, some of which are for health preservation, but also made a lot of tonics such as health pills."
"Xuetuan is a greedy little cat. He always likes to steal pills from the queen's pharmacy. The queen just made hundreds of health pills and Xuetuan ate them all."
"It becomes like this after eating."
