Chapter 445 The Prince's Counterattack
There was singing and dancing and the air was filled with the aroma of wine.
Right at this moment!
A shrill, out-of-tune scream suddenly tore through the peaceful atmosphere.
A palace maid tumbled and crawled into the center of the hall, her hair disheveled and her face pale. She fell to her knees with a thud, her voice trembling with extreme fear and crying.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened! Concubine Liu is in trouble in the side hall!"
As soon as the shout fell, another eunuch who ran in right after him cried out at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty! Help! There's a villain! He has held Concubine Liu hostage in Tingyu Pavilion! Concubine... Concubine she..."
The three words "Lady Liu" sounded like thunder!
The entire hall was instantly silent! The sounds of music, conversation and laughter stopped abruptly! Everyone's eyes were focused on the throne!
Concubine Liu is not an ordinary concubine!
She is seven months pregnant with a dragon seed!
When the emperor diagnosed the pregnancy, he was ecstatic and his old face was full of smiles. Before the baby was born, he couldn't wait to promote Concubine Liu to the rank of noble lady!
This is not only the joy of having a son in old age, but also proof to everyone that he, the emperor, is still as powerful and skilled as ever!
At the palace banquet tonight, the emperor was in a good mood and felt very proud.
Who could have imagined that such complications would arise right under our noses?
"What?!"
The smile on the emperor's face froze instantly, and then he turned angry!
He stood up suddenly from the dragon throne, and his movement was so big that the wide bright yellow dragon robe overturned the wine glass on the table, and the wine spilled all over the floor!
The emperor's voice was hoarse and distorted due to anger and urgency, and with the unquestionable power of thunder, his eyes were fixed on the palace maids and eunuchs, as if he wanted to pierce them!
"It's true, the noble is in Tingyu Pavilion now!"
The emperor had no time to think about the strangeness of this matter. He pushed away the eunuch beside him and was about to rush out!
How dare someone act wildly in the palace!
He also kidnapped his concubine, who was pregnant!
He has been on the throne for many years, and no one has ever dared to challenge his majesty like this!
Whoever is so bold must be severely punished!
"Quick, everyone, follow and protect the emperor!"
The prince reacted very quickly. He immediately gave the order in a deep voice and followed quickly.
Everyone in the hall suddenly woke up from their dream. There was a bad guy. What if he hurt the emperor?
If you get the chance and perform meritorious service in protecting the emperor, wouldn't that be like climbing the ladder to heaven?
Everyone stood up together and followed the bright yellow figure filled with rage, rushing towards Tingyuxuan.
-
The hall suddenly became a bit messy.
Madam Zhaohua frowned. How could such a thing happen?
She always felt that something was wrong.
I looked around, but couldn't find Murong Jun.
Where is Juner?
Where did he go?
She remembered clearly that her son had just left the table to change clothes, but why hasn't he come back for so long?
An inexplicable uneasiness seized her.
Madam Zhaohua suppressed her inexplicable panic and looked around the hall anxiously.
On the left, no!
On the right, no!
She called the person who served the Fifth Prince over and asked sternly, "Where are the people who serve His Highness? Who was the one who followed His Highness to change clothes just now?"
There was a barely perceptible tension in his voice.
The people around the Fifth Prince stammered, "Your Majesty, it was Xiao Anzi who followed His Highness, but...but I was looking for him just now, and I didn't see Xiao Anzi come back."
As he spoke, he looked like he was about to cry.
"waste!"
Madam Zhaohua scolded in a low voice, but her heart sank even faster.
Even the personal servant is missing?
She did not give up and continued to question several people who usually served the Fifth Prince.
"I saw His Highness go west."
"It seems like he's going to sober up."
"Your servant...Your servant really doesn't know where His Highness is right now, Madam!"
The answers I got were either vague or a blank shake of the head.
No one can tell exactly where the Fifth Prince is at this moment!
An extremely bad premonition instantly wrapped around Madam Zhaohua's heart, getting tighter and tighter!
Although her reason told her that there was no connection between her son and Lady Liu, this sudden disaster happened just when her son left the table and disappeared...
Without caring about anything else, she quickly followed.
-
The emperor led a huge group of people all the way to Tingyu Pavilion.
No one noticed that there was no palace servant waiting outside Tingyuxuan.
Because at this moment, the door, which was originally tightly closed, opened from the inside with a "clang".
A figure staggered and ran out in a miserable state. It was none other than Concubine Liu who was pregnant!
Her hair was completely disheveled, with a few strands of hair stuck to her pale cheeks by sweat. The collar of her gorgeous palace dress was torn askew and messy, revealing a small part of the belt of her undergarment.
The most noticeable thing was her bulging belly, which was seven months pregnant and was rising and falling violently with her rapid breathing and frightened sobs.
She was like a frightened bird. When she saw the emperor, who was standing at the front of the crowd and wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, she cried heart-wrenchingly as if she had grabbed her only life-saving straw.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty, help! There is someone…he…he…”
She cried breathlessly, pointed her trembling fingers at the open door behind her, and was almost incoherent with fear.
Everyone's eyes followed her trembling fingers and were fixed on the door!
A man stumbled out from the shadows following closely behind Concubine Liu.
The prince's uniform on him was nowhere to be seen, exposing his sweaty chest and abdomen. His belt was also askew, and he looked extremely unkempt!
His face was still flushed and drunken, his eyes were fierce and irritable, and he was still mumbling curses: "It's so hot! Bitch, it's so noisy..."
This disgusting and shocking scene was clearly exposed under the bright torches without any obstruction, and was exposed to the eyes of the emperor, the crown prince, royal family nobles, civil and military officials, and the foreign Mohe envoys!
The air seemed to have been completely sucked out!
Deathly silence enveloped everyone!
Only the crackling sound of the burning torches and Concubine Liu's suppressed sobs seemed particularly harsh.
Madam Zhaohua, who had just arrived, had just managed to steady her steps when she saw this scene—
Buzz!
She just felt like her head was hit hard by a sledgehammer!
Everything in front of my eyes suddenly went dark, and countless golden stars were flying around!
My ears were filled with sharp tinnitus, and the ground beneath my feet seemed to collapse and spin all of a sudden!
A fishy and sweet taste rushed straight into her throat, and the dizzy feeling made her unable to hold on any longer, and her body was about to collapse to the ground!
"My queen!"
The nanny beside her was so frightened that she used all her strength to hold her tightly to prevent her from fainting on the spot.
Madam Zhaohua tightly grasped Madam's arm, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but her eyes seemed to be nailed shut, staring at the bare-chested man in despair and disbelief.
It turned out to be her son, the fifth prince Murong Jun!
Are you crazy?
Why is this happening?
