Plastic Surgeon & Thief Princess - C151
“Empress lady, Queen lady …”
It seemed that the imperial guards outside didn’t have any response and wanted to barge in. The courtyard was the backyard, and it would only take a quarter of an hour to walk from the courtyard to the hall.
The Queen looked at the door that led to the backyard, but was unable to stop Rong Jiu in the end. Her dagger pierced through, and at this critical moment, the Queen tilted her body, and used her other hand to smash Rong Jiu fiercely into the bonsai next to Phoenix Seat.
The pot had cracked, and Rong Jiu, who was preparing to stab down again, had fainted.
The Empress sat on the Phoenix Seat, gasping for air. The imperial guards seemed like they were about to barge in already, she anxiously got up and dragged Rong Jiu behind the Phoenix Seat, while she leaned against a table made of pear blossoms.
The imperial guards barged in, and the few lights in the hall allowed them to clearly see who was sitting on the phoenix seat.
The imperial guards panicked and knelt on the ground. “Greetings, lady the Empress.”
The empress had yet to calm down, but at this moment she looked coldly at the intruders. “Are you guys free to enter the harem?”
“Please forgive me, Queen lady!” The imperial guards fell to the ground.
It was true that the imperial guards couldn’t enter the harem as they wanted, but for the sake of the harem’s safety, they could only patrol the perimeter of the harem. If they found any movement, they would immediately make a move to ensure the safety of the harem.
“It’s only the empress’s lady. We just saw a suspicious person approach the Jiaofang Hall, so we had no choice but to …” The guard tried to defend himself, but when he slightly raised his head, he saw the blood on the ground.
“Is this the reason for you two to break through the Jiaofang Hall?” The empress sat on her side, blocking her bleeding arm without being discovered. “Do you believe that I will grant you the sin of disrespect!?”
“Queen lady, please calm your anger.” The guard said, “I saw a lot of bloodstains just now. It seems like the thieves entered the Jiaofang Hall, has lady seen the thieves yet? This general and the others are all thinking for the safety of lady. ”
“How dare you!” The empress was enraged. “In the entire Jiaofang Hall, I’m the only one. What, don’t tell me you want me to say that I’m a thief?”
“lady misunderstood.” The bodyguard was rather courageous, “lady, do you know that the palace servant s of Jiaofang Hall have all been knocked unconscious.”
“What?” The empress was surprised. “That thief must have run away. Why aren’t you guys chasing after him?”
“This …” The guard always felt that the empress was hiding something.
“What is it? Are you not going to listen to my words? Quickly go and capture the thief. If you do not chase after them to capture them, then I will question all of you! ”
She threw down the items on the table made of pear blossoms.
“Yes.”
The imperial guards had no choice. Since the empress had already determined that the thieves had fled, they might as well chase after them.
The empress heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried to bolt the door after the imperial guards left the hall.
She returned to Phoenix Seat, and looked at Rong Jiu who was lying behind her. Her heart started to jump again, and her trembling hands were shaking Rong Jiu, “Jiu, wake up, wake up.”
Vaguely, Rong Jiu felt a headache coming on, and her ears were also noisy. When she struggled to open her eyes, she saw the pale face of the empress.
“Queen lady?” Rong Jiu opened her eyes wide, “I … Why am I here? You… “Are you hurt?”
A blinding red light seemed to herald a fierce battle.
“Let’s not talk about that for now. Jiu, go back to your Rong Garden.”
Why? “What happened to the empress’s lady, I …
She wanted to know the truth, but at the same time, more noises came from outside. The Queen’s face changed, Rong Jiu went to the door and looked outside.
“A lot of people holding torches are coming this way, lady, what’s going on?”
The doubt in Rong Jiu’s heart grew, but the empress understood immediately, “It’s impossible to run now.”
Near the Jiaofang Hall, the imperial guards who had just left encountered another group of imperial guards, “There were suddenly intruders in the palace, and they came over here even after messing up the Fragrant Congealing Pavilion. Did you guys see that?”
“This …” Those who had just left the Jiaofang Hall naturally knew the situation of the Jiaofang Hall, and immediately brought it up.
Two groups of people rushed towards the Jiaofang Hall. There were also people who went around informing the various courtyards in the palace to be careful, and also people who went to the emperor’s chambers to inform the emperor, “Something bad has happened. The Imperial Noble Consort Ninng has been assassinated, the Queen’s lady has been assassinated.”
The Emperor sat up in alarm and quickly ordered his men to lead the way.
The empress palace was closest to the emperor’s sleeping quarters. The emperor should have gone to see the empress first, when he had just arrived outside the Jiaofang Hall, he saw the imperial guards knocking on the door.
Someone said, “When we entered the Jiaofang Hall, we noticed that quite a few palace servant s had fainted. The Queen lady also ordered the imperial guards to leave, I think they were kidnapped.”
“Just now, the Jiaofang Hall reeked of blood. Maybe the Queen’s lady was injured.”
Hearing this, the emperor became anxious, and quickly knocked on the door, asking about the Imperial Noble Consort Ninng, the imperial guards said, “It’s just that I was frightened to the point of fainting.”
The brazen bandits dared to cause trouble for the imperial palace, but the emperor ordered the imperial palace to be cordoned off so that the intruders could be found as soon as possible.
The other palaces did not have much of an impact, but the empress and Imperial Noble Consort Ninng palaces all had such strange events.
The door hadn’t been opened yet, but it seemed like the inside had been bolted. The emperor had someone prepare a saw and saw through the gap to saw through the door’s latch.
Everyone stared at the scarlet door, afraid that a monster or a powerful criminal would jump out.
He did have the ability to turn the two palaces upside down.
The emperor was surrounded and protected by the imperial guards. Along with the sounds of being pulled and sawed, the emperor’s heart was beating wildly.
Was the imperial family lacking in dignity these days? In the beginning, there were thieves that dared to enter the palace to steal, but later on, there were thieves that dared to enter the palace. No one knew who or what, but this caused a great deal of panic.
The guards must have been careless. Otherwise, how could they have let the thieves in? The emperor planned to first confirm the empress’s safety before settling the accounts.
Feeling that this was enough, the palace halls were kicked away by the imperial guards. “Bang!” With a loud crash, the door slammed against both sides.
The imperial guards raised their blades and rushed in. Their Jiaofang Hall was pitch black and they could not see anything clearly. palace servant behind them brought in a lantern and quickly lit the candles.
And it was also at that instant that the person lying within the palace hall frightened the Emperor who had just entered.
He trembled slightly, and quickly went up to check. The empress was lying there with a pale face, her arm bleeding. A few of her clothes had stained it, but her entire sleeve was covered in blood.
“Send word to the imperial physician!”
While the imperial guards looked around in shock, the emperor reacted.
Beside the empress lay another person, dressed only in white, with traces of something smashing into his forehead.
The palace servant carried the Empress and Rong Jiu to his chambers and allowed the imperial physician to treat them.
This matter was too strange. The imperial guards said that when they saw Rong Jiu’s dazed eyes, they felt that it was strange and followed along, only to see the fallen palace servant s.
When they saw the empress, Rong Jiu was not there, but now, the empress and Rong Jiu were lying together? The key point was, when Rong Jiu entered the Jiaofang Hall, something like this happened?
Rumors had started to spread in the palace because Prince Zhan’s Wife hated the empress and wanted her to make things difficult for them. After that, he harbored hatred in his heart and used the night to assassinate the empress.
