The death of the Empress Dowager imdiately plunged the Imperial Palace into chaos!
Everywhere was lit by the fiery blaze, illuminating the palace as if it were night!
The Imperial Guard ran about, brandishing their gleaming sabers and capturing anyone on sight. The Palace Maids and Eunuchs scrambled in fear, screams echoing non-stop! The palace was filled with desolation and anxiety.
First, Prince Regent Ye Han was taken hostage, followed by Marquis Zhenguo, Qin Yi, forced into submission by the Imperial Guards. Consequently, the court ministers demanded so formal decree from Qin Feimo.
Furthermore, countless courtiers, observing Qin Feimo’s shaky reign, began coming forward in relentless pursuit of power and honor, shaking the court!
Among them, the old ministers led by the Wang Family were the first to openly challenge.
The betrayal of the Wang Family had been imminent. Initially, Qin Yi and Ye Han had jointly supported Qin Feimo’s ascension to the throne with the Wang and Hua Families. However, in the end, the Wang Family did not receive the glory and riches they had desired, so, naturally, they shifted their allegiance.
What they did not expect, though, was that Ye Han did not surrender but instead tead up with Qin Yi to lead troops to counterattack.
Another civil war had just begun.
Shouts of war and slaughter resonated throughout!
Silently, Su Pan’er listened to the commotion outside. Several tis she tried to leave, but she was blocked by the four ard guards at the side palace hall’s entrance.
Seeing the commotion outside growing louder, she no longer wished to wait.
Upon seeing the four ard guards still stopping her, she raised her hand, and the silver needles flew out. The four guards collapsed to the ground without uttering a word.
Exiting the side palace hall, Su Pan’er didn’t follow the famous pavilion but quietly arrived in front of Yangxin Palace, concealed by the vegetation in the garden. Looking up, she saw a large group of soldiers and Imperial Guards facing off against Qin Feimo, creating a fierce atmosphere!
Swiftly, Su Pan’er assud a lower posture, hiding behind the flowers and plants to get a better look at the confrontation.
From a distance, she could see Qin Feimo seemingly fighting with two generals and shouting furiously.
She had t these two generals before, they seed to be from the Wang Family. This Wang Family was initially loyal to His Majesty, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, he did not seem to be close to the people of the Wang Family. It seems they want to rebel now.
The confrontation seed to be getting more heated, and the generals’ fists almost struck Qin Feimo.
The anger in Su Pan’er’s heart surged. She stood up, just about to rush forward to save His Majesty. Suddenly catching sothing out of the corner of her eye, she crouched down again.
More troops were continuously arriving from several palace gates.
The vibrations were thunderous.
This...
Su Pan’er concealed herself even more. Looking at this circumstance, it seed that the situation would not end well today! Originally, she thought that even if these people moved, there would still be so ti. However, from the current situation, it seems that these people were trying to force the Emperor to abdicate?
"Lady Qin!"
Just as Su Pan’er was intently observing the chaos ahead, a frantic call suddenly ca from behind her.
Su Pan’er turned around; Unexpectedly, it was Eunuch Hao standing behind her, calling her: "Eunuch Hao, why are you here? His Majesty, he..."
Eunuch Hao pulled her to the side and looked around cautiously before lowering his voice.
"Lady Qin, His Majesty is worried about your safety and specifically ordered to escort you out of the palace. Things are getting chaotic here, leave quickly with , and we can exit the palace from here!"
With that, he intended to leave with her.
"Wait!"
Su Pan’er did not want to leave: "His Majesty seems to be in a confrontation, we should go back and save Him first!"
With that, she turned to return.
"Lady Qin, don’t go!"
Eunuch Hao urgently called to her: "Lady Qin, the reason His Majesty is in a confrontation with those two generals is that they are trying to arrest you in Yangxin Palace. His Majesty is desperately preventing that, which is why we have this situation. If you rush out now, isn’t that disregarding His Majesty’s painstaking efforts? Lady Qin, please heed my advice and leave with quickly!"
Was it for her sake?
Su Pan’er had not expected that there would be such a reason behind these events!
She couldn’t help but laugh coldly a few tis: "How truly fascinating! The Empress Dowager had just passed away a few monts ago, and these generals wasted no ti in storming into the Imperial Palace’s grand hall, clearly finding her. How did they find out that I, the ’World’s Best Needle’, was in the palace?"
"Ah, Lady Qin!"
Eunuch Hao was trembling with anxiety: "What ti is it now, and you are still pondering these things? Even if you disregard His Majesty risking his life to protect you and get you out of the palace, think about your children outside the palace! The little Princess is so chubby, lively, and cute, can you bear to leave such a young child amidst the wolves in this chaotic world?"
Su Pan’er turned around abruptly, her fierce eyes fixed on Eunuch Hao.
A killing intention was visible in her eyes: "Whoever dares to threaten with Yan Yan, I will take their life!"
"Don’t..."
Seeing Su Pan’er’s real anger, Eunuch Hao hurriedly denied repeatedly: "I was just making a comparison, just a taphor!"
Su Pan’er’s gaze swept over him, and the killing intention in her eyes gradually faded.
"No! I can’t leave yet, I have sothing I must do, I have to go to Yangxin Palace again. You help !"
"Go to Yangxin Palace now?"
Eunuch Hao sweated profusely despite the cold winter: "Lady Qin! Can we even return to Yangxin Palace now? Isn’t that walking into the tiger’s mouth? It’s impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"This ti, I must go!"
Su Pan’er said earnestly!
Once she was decided on sothing, not even eight horses could pull her back.
She peered outside for a mont, then turned back to instruct Eunuch Hao, "Let’s do this. You hide inside for a while and give a few minutes. I’ll be back soon. Rember to hide well!"
After saying this, Su Pan’er turned around and ran away.
"Ah!——"
Eunuch Hao called out anxiously, but afraid that others would hear, he hurriedly covered his mouth. Su Pan’er looked back at him, and he admonished: "Then, you must hurry! Delay will bring complications! If any later, we won’t be able to leave!"
Any later and the palace gate might just be sealed. However proficient he was, it would be impossible to assist her to leave!
"Understood!"
With a nod from Su Pan’er, her figure flashed and she disappeared behind the dense shrubbery.
Eunuch Hao was anxiously turning circles on the spot, the first ti in his life feeling that a few minutes could last so long!
As the minutes were about to elapse, there was still no sign of Lady Qin.
He couldn’t help but move a few steps forward, only to hear the tumultuous cacophony of war cries outside. Among the sounds were the clang of clashing weapons, which terrified him. He hastily peered outside...
