Meanwhile, in the palace, there was Garan.

He was dressed in the clothes of a eunuch, with his head lowered and his body slightly bowed.

Stand on the right and wait.

In the center of the lobby is a large round table, on which are placed various kinds of delicacies from land and sea.

A man and a woman were sitting at the table having a meal.

The man was wearing a dragon robe and a nine-dragon golden crown.

His expression was serious, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

The woman was dressed in brocade and fine clothes, and wore a gold and jade phoenix hairpin on her head.

Her face was beaming with a genuine smile, showing that she was truly happy and joyful.

The Empress looked at the Emperor of the Great East and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this Golden Needle Chicken is surprisingly delicious. You should try it."

The Great Eastern Emperor looked up and glanced at the Empress sitting across the table.

His voice was completely devoid of emotion.

"If the Empress likes to eat, then eat more."

He ate a piece of meat before continuing to speak.

"We can have the imperial kitchen prepare more of this dish in the future."

The Empress smiled and nodded in agreement.

Her Majesty came to dine with her today, and she was very happy. She thought to herself, how long has it been since the two of them had dined together?

Despite his busy schedule, His Majesty still managed to find time to come and dine with her.

She was already very content.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Standing to their right with her head bowed, Jialan silently met the gaze of Jiaqian, who was dressed as a palace maid.

Garan nodded to him.

Jiaqian understood immediately and slowly pulled a dagger from her sleeve.

The two suddenly leaped up, and Jialan aimed the dagger in his hand at the back of the Great Eastern Emperor.

The two men moved swiftly and fiercely, while the people inside the house were completely unprepared.

He was stabbed in the back of the heart.

The two people who were eating let out a groan and slumped helplessly onto the table.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

They strained to look behind them, trying to see who dared to enter the palace and commit violence.

Only then did everyone realize what was happening, and they rushed over in a panic.

Someone shouted, "Assassins! Assassins! The Emperor and Empress have been assassinated!"

Some people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their necks stiff as they shouted, "Ahhh... There's an assassin!"

"Help! Help!"

Undeterred by the danger, someone ran over and used a handkerchief to cover the wound, shouting loudly outside, hoping that the guards outside would hear the shouts and come in to arrest the assassin as soon as possible: "An assassin has injured His Majesty and the Empress."

Jialan and Jiaqian pulled out the daggers that were stuck in their bodies.

It was too late to kill the people in the house to silence them.

After those shouts, the sound of running could be heard from outside.

The guards stationed outside heard the shouts and are rushing over from this side.

Jialan and Jiaqian's eyes met again.

He nodded, then turned and went inside.

He quickly went to the window and jumped out.

The pursuing guards also jumped out of the window and chased after them.

Jialan and Jiaqian ran forward desperately, but this was the royal palace, and there were guards patrolling everywhere.

Their numbers are so large that it's extremely difficult for them to escape.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Garden, the two were eventually surrounded by guards.

The head guard drew his sword from his waist and raised it high.

He shouted loudly at the two people trapped in the middle.

"Who are you people? How dare you enter the palace to assassinate His Majesty and the Empress?"

After exchanging a glance, Jialan and Jiaqian saw the resolute determination in each other's eyes.

The two men had already resigned themselves to death when they came here tonight.
