Chapter 230 Survivors
No!
Jiuyu's eyes were bloodshot.
Explosives!
It was explosives.
"Don't be in trouble, don't be in trouble..."
Jiuyu rushed to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Everything he saw was desolate.
Glazed tiles were scattered all over the ground.
The door of the Imperial Ancestral Temple was closed.
The guards worked together to pry the door open.
"Your Majesty? Can you hear me?"
"Is there anyone inside?"
The response was silence.
Everyone's face was filled with panic and despair.
They watched the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the Emperor's husband, Su Wan, the princes and princesses, and the civil and military officials enter the palace.
When the celebration began, the palace door suddenly closed, and before anyone could react, there was a deafening explosion and the pungent smell of saltpeter.
With such a powerful force, it is obvious that the chance of survival is too slim.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will probably be missing limbs.
Jiuyu rushed over and helped everyone pry the door open.
In his heart, he prayed that Su Wan would not get into trouble.
Miss Fan was so scared that her legs went limp. She grabbed a guard and asked with a cold look: "Have the people inside come out?"
"No...no, they are all inside. When the explosion happened, we heard screams." The guard was pale and said in a trembling voice: "We have to pry the door open as soon as possible to see how many people are inside...what's going on."
Miss Fan knew the unsaid half of the sentence: see how many people are alive inside.
"Prepare tools to break the door open!" Miss Fan regained her composure and began to instruct: "Are all the imperial doctors inside? Go to the Imperial Medical Bureau and catch all those who know pharmacology."
The guards seemed to have found their backbone and mobilized people to find tools and arrest people at the Imperial Medical Bureau.
After a while, they pushed the tools for attacking the city gate and hit the palace door again and again.
"Crack--"
The bolt broke.
The palace door was knocked open.
Jiu Yu, with a tense face, rushed into the smoke-filled hall first. The situation inside was unclear, and he only smelled a strong smell of blood.
Miss Fan followed closely behind, the smell of saltpeter choked her mouth and nose, and she couldn't open her eyes.
"Your Majesty."
"Miss Su."
Jiuyu and Miss Fan groped their way in. Jiuyu felt something under his feet, and his whole body froze. From the feeling of his feet, he could be sure that he stepped on someone's leg.
His heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and Jiuyu almost gave up hope.
No one responded in the hall, and the ground was full of people, all...
Jiuyu felt particularly uncomfortable. Was he a step too late after all?
He didn't believe that Su Wan died so easily.
She was usually very confident, with flying eyebrows and eyes, as if no one could do anything to her.
Such a person, Jiuyu didn't believe that he would be blown to death here.
"Su Wan, Su Wan, did you hear that?" Jiu Yu walked in, saying as he walked, "Su Wan, if you hear me, answer me. Gu Huaizhi is still waiting for you in Da Zhou. You'll be fine, right?"
"Come out! Come out quickly!" The further Jiu Yu walked in, the more intense the inexplicable panic became, filling his heart. His voice suddenly rose, and he growled with an emotion that was about to get out of control: "It's okay now, you can come out, no need to hide!"
Jiu Yu paused, looking at the thin white mist floating in the air, Su Wan just stood by the curtain, his eyes suddenly turned red, and the tightly stretched string relaxed.
"I'm fine." Su Wan saw that his face was not very good, as if he was caught off guard by what was happening in front of him. He stared at her, and the relief and relief in his eyes replaced the panic. The corners of her mouth moved: "Why did you enter the palace?"
There were chaotic footsteps outside the door, and the sound of armor colliding with swords. Jiu Yu turned his head and his pupils suddenly shrank.
