Kong Hou was like a ray of light in the darkness, like the sharpest longsword. With a swift step, she charged forward, unard, into the midst of the fully-ard rebels, dispatching them with punches. No, ten rebels with one punch. She punched out a rebel who was sent flying backward, colliding with the rebels behind. Instantly, a squad of rebels was knocked to the ground.
"Hurry up!" Kong Hou cleared the path and urged the group of dumbfounded palace attendants behind her.
The eunuchs snapped back to reality, lifted the sedan chair, and followed behind Kong Hou.
In that mont, as they watched Kong Hou’s slender back, everyone felt fearless!
Noble Consort Zhang opened her mouth wide, unable to close it for a long ti.
The Chief Palace Maid of the Empress is this powerful?
She’s actually a master!
Incredibly formidable.
"Kong Hou, is your na Kong Hou?" Noble Consort poked her head out from the soft sedan chair, "Kong Hou, you, you’re really amazing."
"Sit back down! Pull your head back in. If the rebels shoot your big head later, I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to pull it out and keep you alive." Kong Hou said, amused.
The Noble Consort quickly pulled her head back in and dared not speak anymore.
When they arrived at the Empress’s Zhaoyang Palace, the main doors slamd shut and were firmly locked.
However, Noble Consort clearly saw that Kong Hou did not co in. As the doors closed, she glimpsed through the gap a displeased expression on Kong Hou’s face, and under the firelight, her disdainful eyes.
Inside the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace, Noble Consort noticed that Plum Consort was also present. Not just Plum Consort, it seed that all the concubines of the Imperial Palace were gathered, including those of lower ranks, and even the Empress Dowager, who had been engaged in prayers, had been brought here.
The Empress was calmly answering the Empress Dowager’s questions, though the Empress Dowager’s face was sowhat pale, she still maintained a asure of composure.
"Noble Consort, co sit here." While Noble Consort was feeling anxious, she heard soone inviting her. Turning her head, she saw Concubine Rong, who was casually eating. Given the situation, she still found ti for a late-night snack.
Noble Consort walked over, sat beside Concubine Rong, wanting to speak but hesitated.
"Don’t overthink it. The Empress truly wants to protect us. Just wait here calmly. The Empress said the Emperor is rushing back at full speed. Want sothing to eat? It’s made by the Empress Palace’s people, very good, with at sauce filling." Concubine Rong reassured Noble Consort, pointing to the items in her bowl, "If you want so, have them prepare it for you."
"You still have the leisure to eat? I can’t eat." Noble Consort shook her head, glancing at the also-pale Plum Consort and then at the room full of lower-ranked concubines who were much more composed, seemingly trusting the Empress blindly. "The rebels have already invaded the Imperial Palace, aren’t you even a bit scared? Can Zhaoyang Palace withstand the rebels? Oh, and Kong Hou didn’t co in, talking about the Empress’s Chief Palace Maid, Kong Hou. She’s very strong, but the Empress let her guard outside alone—it’s going to get her killed. No matter how skilled, can she fend off so many rebels by herself?"
"I don’t know if she can hold them off. But I believe in the Empress; if she’s doing this, then it must work." Concubine Rong took up the bowl and continued eating calmly, "If you don’t eat, forget it. I’ll eat by myself. It’s so tasty, and you’re not eating—what a pity."
Noble Consort thought Concubine Rong was beyond just having a big heart; she was simply carefree.
Can the Emperor really return in ti to save them?
