"Where are the guards? Where are the guards? Stop him!" He shouted as he ran towards Dongfang Ning's room. How could he not be anxious when the old imperial physician only paused for a moment before continuing to rush in after he was stopped by him?
Luckily, the old imperial physician who rushed in was sent flying by the palm attack from the person guarding the dark corner. He almost bumped into Nameless Old Man, who was in front of him.
"What a strong smell of alcohol, you are the one who poisoned them!" Quick, take him down! " With that, Nameless Old Man rushed into Dongfang Ning's room. He didn't even have time to see who the doctor was, he was only concerned about Dongfang Ning's condition.
Fortunately, the imperial physician with the smell of alcohol was sent flying without stopping, which didn't aggravate the poison.
After Dongfang Ning's pulse, his heart was finally at ease. If he was triggered again, he would have to reconfigure his medicine, which would be even more difficult to control.
"What should we do? The palace isn't safe!"
"Take him back first. If we stay any longer, what will happen? How will we explain this to master …"
The two secret guards were no longer calm. They knew that an imperial physician with white hair had entered the courtyard and been questioned at the gate, so they thought it was just an imperial physician. Who knew he was here to cause trouble?
They were there when Dongfang Ning was thrown into the Beast Garden, and just as they were about to go rescue her, they saw a pack of wolves surrounding Dongfang Ning, and then, with a loud roar, those wolves ran away in fright, and the lion dragged the little master away. They had been standing guard on the tree the entire time, and upon discovering that the lion didn't hurt Dongfang Ning, they quietly observed.
Fortunately, the lion appeared early, otherwise, Dongfang Ning wouldn't have been bitten so simply. If the two of them had gone down to save someone, it wouldn't have been as effective as the lion's protection.
This was because they were not confident that they could kill all of the wolves within a few moves. As the king of the forest, with just a single roar, the wild beasts had already left, not daring to even come within ten steps of the wolf.
Another reason was that these wild beasts were often thrown in for food, and had yet to reach the stage where they would risk their lives for food. Otherwise, it would be difficult for this lion to fight with the other wolves for human food.
"This is the imperial palace. If we're discovered, then Battle King will be the ones to blame for the incident. With Nameless Old Man watching over us, we'll have to wait for the wangfei to wake up. If wangfei wakes up, she'll definitely be able to take care of everything …"
"I think something bad is going to happen in this palace. If what Battle King found out is true, then this palace will be the most dangerous place. God bless Master …"
"..."
Outside the courtyard, the guards had already rushed into the courtyard and tied up the imperial physician who had been sent flying. Only, the result was really worrying, because this person was not the imperial physician, but a stranger, a middle-aged man dressed as an imperial physician. Furthermore, he had already bitten through the poison in his false teeth and had died with a black face.
The emperor was already dizzy from the series of events that happened, and now, he was going through those memorials in his Imperial Study. All sorts of strange and odd things were placed before his eyes one by one.
"The Crown Prince of West Ridge Nation requests an audience?"
"Yes, just now the relay station reported that he arrived yesterday, accompanied by West Ridge Nation's Second Prince Xiao Shaofeng and Princess Xiao Qiu Yue. They said that they had brought a great gift to pay their respects to the Emperor and also said that they wanted to buy some grain from the Shan Nation and return home."
"Now that the Crown Prince is grounded, Third Prince... "Let Third Prince go, go and lift his ban."
"Servant will go now!"
"Wait a minute. No regrets, what are you doing these past few days? Have him go with you!"
"Understood ~"
He lowered his head as he processed the imperial report in his hand. He didn't notice the happiness that flashed across the eunuch's eyes when he heard that Third Prince was to leave.
Yes, the moment this eunuch spoke out his Imperial Study, his face was filled with a smile that could not be concealed. Everything was proceeding as planned, how could he not be happy?
"Your Majesty, just now, an assassin from the Imperial Palace came to act like he was an imperial physician and wanted to assassinate Princess Anning!"
"What!?" "These people really dare to lower themselves to my eyes!" The imperial report couldn't bear to continue watching. There was a ghost here, there must be a ghost here!
Yan Yihan threw down the imperial report and paced around the study uneasily. Who wanted to live in peace?
He already knew about what happened outside the palace. Who spread the first rumor, who was second, and who was third. He said these things to reassure the people and thought that everything was under his control.
No, he could not mess things up. If he were to mess things up at this point of time, everything would be as the enemy wished, and he still had to use Huangfu Family.
"Pass down the decree, bring out the empress, say that she needs to take care of Princess Anning …" After thinking hard for a long time, he made a decision. He could not afford to offend the Huangfu Family right now.
"Tell her that mothering the world is her job, and don't think so much about other things." The crown prince was still restricted from doing so. He didn't believe that this woman would even sacrifice her own son. Don't disappoint me!
"Call Huangfu City to the Hall of Declarations to see me!"
This was a place to teach a lesson to the sons and grandsons of the crown prince. Sometimes, it would be used on ministers in order to increase personal relations with the ministers. The reason why this place was not common was because all of the elders of the emperor's generation were gone, leaving only Royal Uncle, who had been living in seclusion for many years, so he stayed idle for a long time.
Huangfu City didn't know why the Emperor would meet him here. The security here was very tight, half of it was his men. The hall outside the palace exuded a solemn feeling, as if it was the place where people who had done wrong would enter.
When Huangfu City entered the palace, he discovered that there was only the Emperor here. The silence was frightening, and after he paid his respects to the Emperor, he stood there silently. He waited for the Emperor to speak, but no one spoke for a long time, causing him to feel uneasy.
After a long time, when Huangfu City thought that the Emperor had already forgotten that he had come, he heard his superior quietly say:
"Huangfu City. I sent your aunt into the cold palace today. Do you have any complaints?"
"Your Majesty is wise and has handled things well. This humble subject does not dare to complain!" Huangfu City immediately kneeled on the ground and replied. Their Huangfu Family had always been loyal to the Emperor.
