"Protect the emperor! |

The quick-witted eunuch Xiao Bao hurriedly stood up and yelled at the imperial guards behind him. His shrill voice really baptized everyone's eardrums even more thoroughly.

The shock that had just surfaced on their faces due to the loud explosion had instantly disappeared, and what replaced it was a rapid assembly, a phalanx, and three layers in which the young emperor, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, was trapped. It really seemed like training was a problem.

"I'm fine. I'm going in to the palace. I want to see the empress and see if my Long Zi has been frightened. Hurry and bring me in!"

The young emperor Xuanyuan Chen Mo had already reacted after his initial daze. He immediately thought of the lonely Dongfang Ziqing who had come to the Yi Yuan Palace. He felt bitter, but he calmed down in an instant and spoke harshly to the group of people holding him in the center!

"Whoever does not bring me in will be committing treason!" "Kill without mercy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When the imperial guards heard the emperor speak like that, they immediately expressed their stance and said the words of the firm camp. Then, following the current situation, they walked towards the entrance of the Yi Palace, and Eunuch Xiao Bao did not miss the opportunity to shout out loud.

"Hurry up and get out of the way, hurry up and open the palace doors. The emperor's about to enter the palace to see the empress. If you're late, be careful of the heads on your heads!"

The guards who had been in a daze had lost their backbone long ago. How could they have witnessed such a violent explosion even though they had outstanding abilities? They were not people who had gone through strict training like the royal family. People who had never been to a battlefield before would be frightened by the sound of gunfire.

"Ah, still not moving!"

Seeing that this was such a good opportunity, how could he let it go? He used all his strength to pull the captain of the guards, who had been coaxed by him, to the best of his ability, and gave him only a few wishes.

After that, this group of martial artists who were skilled in martial arts, as well as the imperial guards who had been trained by the imperial guards' system, all had their eyes turn red. Hearing their captain's order, they picked up the scimitars at their waists and rushed forward.

The imperial guards who were guarding the entrance of the palace did not react that quickly. They were still in the sand and dust with very low visibility, looking for their companions, but all of a sudden, they were chased away by those sturdy men who were rushing towards them. They did not even have the chance to draw their swords.

"Clerk, bonus, yellow vest!" "Giving them a thousand taels of gold each, and then they will become my trusted aides. Only I and Little Treasure can command them!"

When the young emperor, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, saw the scene at the entrance of the palace, he only frowned slightly and did not have any other violent reactions. On the other hand, Eunuch Xiaobao and the other eunuchs and maids had already squatted on the ground.

This is the majesty of the imperial family. Only someone with such a firm mind can take over the position of the late emperor, which is also why he can continue to lead our country and sweep through everything!

Laiyi's palace

The palace maids and eunuchs by the side were just like pillars as they stood there motionlessly. It was as if no one had come for many years. They were also the source of the chill in this desolate palace.

After a long time, he didn't feel anything else. It was just a sense of desolation.

"Oh pearl, do you think there is anything wrong here? Why is it not tomorrow? We have been here for such a long time, and yet something like this happened today." Did they come in to fetch chairs and tables for any other reason?

She walked for a long time before raising her hand gently. She gently pulled the brocade quilt that was embroidered with birds and phoenixes over her body and wrote a few words on it, but the coldness in her heart could not be dispelled no matter what. For so long, no one had been able to speak.

"Esteemed empress, what are you talking about? We are in a palace compound, and also in the place where you, the legitimate empress of the three palaces and six courtyards are located, so even our capital wouldn't be in any great danger, much less a forbidden city. You have to know that this place belongs to the capital, so how could anyone dare to imprison you? Perhaps the emperor is really protecting you."

She tried her best to persuade Dongfang Ziqing with words that even she could not believe. If something really happened, perhaps everyone would not be able to escape death and they would only be able to live one day at a time. There was nothing left to think about.

"Pearl, hurry up and float me up."

At this moment, Dongfang Ziqing, who had just been lying on the chair, suddenly sat up. Her hands were tightly covering her lower abdomen, large beads of sweat seeped out of her forehead and then flowed down again. Her face was pale.

"Empress, Empress, what happened to you?"

Pearl heard Dong Zi Qing's call and immediately squatted down to grab Dong Fang Zi Qing's arm. She said softly with her brows tightly knitted together and her entire body began to tense up.

"I only felt a slight headache after eating just now. Why does my lower abdomen feel a lot of pain now? It really hurts."

Dongfang Ziqing spoke softly, the sound of her teeth grinding was clear enough to make one feel flustered. The eunuchs and palace maids had received quite a few of the empress's favors in the past, so they naturally all felt their hearts clench as they looked at the empress in alarm.

"Niangniang, don't speak anymore. This servant is here to get the imperial physician. You have to protect the esteemed Empress well, you can't leave even half a step. If anything happens to the empress, all of your heads will move, do you hear?"

Those eunuchs and maids who remained behind all looked at each other, knowing what to do. If the empress had a mistake and was about to die, then those imperial guards who wanted to harm the empress wouldn't be able to leave their names intact. It was better to risk their lives to protect the empress, at least to save some of the benefits after our deaths.
