A Female King’s Love Story - Chapter 35

Qiao Qiao still raised his head and looked at the woman who had captured her from the Residence of Regent without explaining the reason. Although she did not have any martial arts skills, she still had a small scheme and it would not be difficult for her to escape from the woman. However, even though he did not know whether she was an enemy or friend, Qiao Qiao could only wait and see.

After leaving the Residence of Regent, the man slowly loosened his grip on Qiao Qiao and said respectfully, “It’s dangerous outside. Your majesty should return to the palace as soon as possible.”

“Do you know who I am?” Joe asked, still frowning.

“This subordinate is Zi Ran from the Supreme Purity Palace. I have come under the orders of the palace master to protect the emperor as he safely returns to the palace.” Zi Ran cupped her hands and said.

“Oh? You were told to come? “What about him?” Qiao Qiao was still relieved. He didn’t expect that when they parted in such a hurry, he would send some subordinates to escort them. At least he had a bit of humanity in him.

Zi Ran raised her head in a slight daze. This person was the famous grass puppet emperor of the State of Qiao, yet he could call out the palace master’s name and also cause the palace master to ignore her safety to come and protect her. It seemed like the relationship between the palace master and the emperor was indeed extraordinary.

“Asgard Master is injured, he has already returned to the absolute palace to recuperate and heal.” Zi Ran replied honestly.

“What?” Is he hurt? ” Qiao Qiao was still amazed. When she first saw the Art of Death, she was clearly a good and lively person. How could she be injured in such a short period of time?

“The palace lord was injured by silver needles on the roof of the Xi Mansion.” Although Zi Ran replied in a flat tone, there was clearly a bit of blame between her brows. After all, the reason the Mistress of the Palace had been poisoned was to save her.

Qiao Qiao’s eyes were still tight. When she was on the roof, she saw the Devil Palace man shooting silver needles at her. The technique appeared and took her away. She originally thought that the silver needles had been dodged by the technique, but she didn’t expect him to receive it.

“Where is he now?” Qiao Qiao was still asking anxiously.

“I’m afraid he has already returned to the Supreme Clear Palace.”

“Take me there.” Qiao Qiao said to Zi Ran with a serious face.

“You are the emperor, and the Imperial Palace is a martial arts sect. How can you go …” Zi Ran said evasively.

“The technique was injured because of me. I have to see for myself that he is fine before I can rest at ease. Please, Zi Ran, take me to the Supreme Purity Palace. However, do not expose my identity.” Qiao Qiao continued to speak with anticipation.

“But this …” Zi Ran had a troubled expression.

“There are no buts. I won’t be able to make it back to the palace before dawn.” Qiao Qiao still held onto Zi Ran. “Take me and fly.”

“Yes.” Zi Ran was helpless as she was extremely worried for the Mistress. It was just that the Emperor was not willing to obediently return to the palace, so she could not return to report.

She grabbed hold of Joe, still, and with a leap disappeared into the night.

The location and concealment of the Pure End Palace was unknown how many times Zi Lan had brought her around this area. After passing through many secret passages, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Pure End Palace.

“Your majesty, just be careful around me in a while. If you have offended me, please forgive me.” Zi Ran released Qiao Qiao’s hand and spoke to her.

“Don’t worry, I understand.” Joe nodded.

Zi Ran’s lips parted, as if she still wanted to say something. However, she stopped herself and walked towards the door.

The gate with the words’ Pure End Palace ‘was decorated with resplendent and golden splendor. The pitch-black night sky was illuminated by the dazzling pearl at the entrance; it was incomparably bright.

This Night Pearl was more than two times bigger than what she had seen in the Imperial Palace. It seemed that this fellow, San Yu was also a extravagant person; no wonder he had personally paid a price of one hundred thousand taels of gold. This was how the entire Qing Jue Palace earned their money.

If it were not for the important matter at hand today, Qiao Qiao would still have had to steal something from this gorgeous palace and use it as a national treasury!

As she thought about this, she couldn’t help but feel around in her arms. Seeing that the jade bracelet that she had just taken away was still there, she curled her lips in relief. In a moment, she would give the jade bracelet to him and let him trade it for some silver taels.

The guards at the entrance were simple to pass through, but the people within the Clearing Palace were all assassins without any distinction as to rank. Thus, they were able to ask for the same thing.

“Zi Ran, who is that person?” Sure enough, a voice of doubt came from behind Qiao Qiao.

Zi Ran slowly turned around. When she saw who it was, she couldn’t help but smile.

“This is the palace master’s new personal servant girl, why? For such a small matter, I have to trouble Lord Charm to interrogate him personally? ” Zi Ran raised her brows and glared at the red-clothed girl before her.

“Mistress’ personal servant?” The woman called Charm Heart had an enchanting face, her slender red phoenix eyes constantly sizing up Qiao Qiao, “A loathsome Bai Ning, and yet another loathsome fellow. What’s your name?”

“I …”

“Asgard Master has yet to give her name!” Violet interrupted Joe.

“Hmph.” Mei Xin glanced at Qiao still, her face full of disdain, then arrogantly turned around and left.

Zi Ran let out a long sigh of relief.

“Who is this guy? He’s so angry.” Qiao Qiao still wanted to humiliate this proud woman, but he didn’t expect Zi Ran to interrupt her. It was fortunate that she interrupted him afterwards, otherwise, his unwelcome Emperor would have been torn apart.

“She is a top assassin in the Supreme Purity Palace. Normally, she looks down on others, so …” Zi Ran explained as she walked.

One could tell that Zi Ran could be considered one of the top figures in the Pure End Palace. At the very least, they did not meet anyone like Mei Xin who would directly interrogate her.

“The palace master is inside?” Zi Ran stood at the entrance of a stone door and asked a young maid at the entrance.

“Yes, ever since the palace master came back, she has been in seclusion and has ordered that no one is to disturb her.” The young maid reported.

“Alright, you can go down first. I’ll be guarding here.” Zi Ran instructed.

“Yes.” The young maid nodded and slowly retreated.

“Your majesty, the palace master is behind this stone door. Go in and take a look, then come out. This subordinate will send you back to the palace.” Zi Ran said to Qiao once again.

“Alright.” “Yes,” Joe answered and pushed against the stone door …
