Yu Qiang just glanced at them and shook his head calmly.
"You'd better put out the fire. I'm old, and I won't die so easily."
The eunuchs were about to say something, but they were suddenly shocked. They opened their eyes wide and looked at the corpses of the men in black on the ground in front of them.
Their faces turned pale in an instant. In the palace, the most taboo thing was to see things that you shouldn't see.
"Director Yu, we …"
Fortunately, there were not many people. Yu Qiang turned around and said,
"You didn't come to my yard tonight."
As if they had been granted amnesty, they immediately rushed out of Yu Qiang's small yard.
Yu Qiang also breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but gasp for breath while holding the wall.
"Senior, why don't we leave here first?"
A pair of small hands held his arm.
Yu Qiang looked at Lin Mengya, whose eyes were full of sincerity, and could not help but nod.
"Baisu, let's go. Be careful."
Behind them, the fire rose to the sky, and the three of them took advantage of the darkness to escape.
Just as they were about to leave the small courtyard, a few more black-clothed men came. However, at that time, the place where Yu Qiang lived was already a sea of fire.
They moved quickly, and after a few rounds, they moved all the corpses lying on the ground. Then, just as they came, they quickly disappeared into the night.
"Hurry, put out the fire!"
As soon as the men in black disappeared, the main force to put out the fire, like a tide, rushed into the small courtyard with plum blossoms. They had a tacit understanding, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
Fortunately, the fire attracted everyone's attention.
When the three of them returned to the small courtyard, they did not see anyone else.
Fanglan had been pacing back and forth in the room. It was not easy to see her master, so she naturally wanted to ask what had happened just now.
"Isn't this … Director Yu?"
Fanglan looked at the man supported by Lin Mengya and Baisu in surprise.
At this time, Yu Qiang, who was struggling, was already breathing heavily and his face was pale.
Fanglan immediately helped him into the room.
"Go and boil some hot water and clean gauze. Director Yu is injured."
Lin Mengya immediately ordered people to prepare. While Baisu and Fanglan were preparing, she immediately checked Yu Qiang's injury.
The external injuries were not serious. The reason why Yu Qiang was weak now was that he was exhausted after a series of fierce battles.
"Don't worry, I won't die just yet. On the other hand, how did you end up there? "
At this moment, Lin Mengya felt relieved. Then, she told him the reason why she went to the Servants Administration.
"So that's how it is. Humph, based on the actions of that person in the palace, I'm afraid that girl named Zhenzhu has already passed away. According to what you said, the place where the fire started was the residence allocated by the Servants Administration to sick palace servants. Based on Zhenzhu's situation, she is definitely dead now. "
Lin Mengya had already expected this.
The plague was no joke. Whether the corpses were buried or thrown into the water, it would cause a large area of infection.
Burning it was probably the best solution.
He just didn't know how many innocent people would be implicated.
Thinking back to when he was in the Servants Administration, there were so many people, but they still stood there and watched. Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
The Imperial Palace was truly merciless.
"By the way, why did you suffer such a thing?"
Tonight, if Lin Mengya hadn't seen it by accident, Yu Qiang would have been in danger.
Yu Qiang thought for a while, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Is there even a need to say it? There's definitely someone who doesn't want me to live anymore."
Lin Mengya suddenly felt nervous and looked at Yu Qiang apologetically.
In short, she had implicated this old man who had been hiding his strength and biding his time.
Yu Qiang also saw her expression, but he gave her a free and easy smile and said, "Don't think too much, Your Highness.
It's not your fault. It's actually because of me. It's because of me. Because I sneaked into the emperor's bedchamber at night and was discovered, those people wanted to kill me. "
"Sneaked into the emperor's bedchamber at night?" Lin Mengya was a little surprised. Given Yu Qiang's status, there was no need for him to do such a thing, was there?
She vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with her father or Long Tianyu.
Otherwise, why would Yu Qiang, who had never liked to meddle in the affairs of the palace, take the initiative to sneak into the emperor's bedchamber at night?
"Senior Yu, no, perhaps I should address you as Uncle Yu. If I'm not wrong, you and my father used to be comrades who fought side by side, right? "
This time, there was a hint of surprise in Yu Qiang's eyes.
However, after seeing Lin Mengya's determined eyes, he could only nod silently after thinking for a while.
"Could it be that this matter was entrusted to you by my father?"
Lin Mengya became more curious. The comrades who had fought side by side with her father were all unyielding and loyal soldiers. But now he had become the supervisor of the Servants Administration, which was really hard to understand.
"Alas, these are all old stories. At that time, your father and I were both vanguard generals under your grandfather's command. Accidents were bound to happen on the battlefield. I was seriously injured that year. Although I recovered, I was already disabled. His Majesty took pity on me, so he let me stay in the palace and take up a post to retire. "
Although Yu Qiang said it in a very open-minded manner, Lin Mengya still sensed a trace of sadness from his unfulfilled ambition.
However, Lin Mengya felt that it was not so simple for Yu Qiang to stay in the palace.
How could a man who had once commanded the wind and clouds on the battlefield so easily stand in the way of the eunuch of the Servants Administration? If it wasn't for a greater goal, this kind of humiliation would be even more terrifying than killing him.
"Here's the water and gauze!"
At this moment, Baisu and Fanglan came in with the things.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and stopped talking about this matter. Lin Mengya focused on bandaging Yu Qiang's wounds.
"Master, who on earth hurt you like this?"
The most serious injury was a knife wound on his left arm.
Although the hideous wound was a little shocking, it was a skin injury, so it was not a big deal.
Lin Mengya and Baisu did not feel anything, but Fanglan felt a little sorry for him, and there was undisguised sadness in her watery eyes.
"I'm fine. By the way, did you cause any trouble for Princess Yu?"
Yu Qiang's tone unconsciously became a little gentle.
Lin Mengya was stunned to find that Fanglan was Yu Qiang's apprentice.
She had thought that Fanglan was just a little palace maid working for Yu Qiang, but she did not expect that they had such a close relationship.
"You're fine. I heard from Miss Baisu that if they hadn't arrived tonight, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been able to see you again."
Tears fell from Fanglan's eyes one by one.
Baisu immediately handed a handkerchief to Fanglan. Lin Mengya knew how it felt to have a close relative escape from death.
However, Fanglan did not burst into tears.
She knew that the current situation was critical, so she just quietly wiped away her tears.
"Look, Princess Yu and Miss Baisu are laughing at me. You lass, you always like to cry. I've told you that I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, you can ask Princess Yu. "
Seeing his apprentice crying, Yu Qiang was a little at a loss.
He thought that they must have a good relationship.
Lin Mengya nodded with a smile, which calmed Fanglan down.
However, a trace of doubt flashed across Lin Mengya's mind. In this case, Yu Qiang's whereabouts had become a problem.
"Uncle Yu, what's your plan in the future?"
Lin Mengya was a little worried. After all, those men in black came aggressively tonight. It meant that the person behind the scenes must have deliberately wanted to kill Yu Qiang.
If one plan failed, who knew if there would be other plans? But Yu Qiang was in extreme danger.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qiang waved his hand indifferently and said, "I'm fine.
"I'm fine. Do you think that my life is something that those people can take away just because they want it? Now, the corpses of the black-robed men must have been cleaned up. If they find out that I'm not dead tomorrow, they will definitely have other plans. But if they want to kill me again, it will be very difficult. Furthermore, apart from some despicable tricks, they can't use any other tricks on me. "
Looking at Yu Qiang's confident face, Lin Mengya was still very worried.
After all, the most terrible thing in the world was the human heart.
Thousands of evil plans were just the rapid changes of the human heart. Not to mention Yu Qiang, even she could not guarantee that she could protect herself and others under the power tactics of the palace.
"By the way, Uncle Yu, you said that you once visited the Emperor's bedroom at night. Do you know the Emperor's current situation? "
Yu Qiang nodded with a serious look on his face.
"I just looked at the Emperor a few times. He is indeed in a coma, and his breath is weak. Furthermore, his breathing is very weak. Although I don't know much about medicine, I feel that the Emperor's condition is very critical. "
Now, apart from the Queen and the Crown Prince, only the imperial physicians in the Court of Imperial Physicians could see the Emperor.
However, both Su Tong and Qiu Yu refused to talk about the Emperor's condition.
Now, after Yu Qiang said so, Lin Mengya felt that it was more strange.
The Emperor was in a critical condition. Normally, there should be some measures. Why were the Court of Imperial Physicians and the imperial harem so quiet?
Or was there a conspiracy that they didn't know about?
"Are you sure? Is His Majesty really on the verge of death and hanging by a thread? "
