This flea on the drum jumped out of the second-floor window but was not killed. It was able to escape calmly despite being surrounded by many yamen runners. It even had the leisure to run to the gate of the imperial palace and stick this white paper on the gate without anyone noticing.
There are quite a few guards on duty at the palace gate.
It's so scary.
After returning to Yanfu Palace and catching his breath, Zhao Ji said to Gao Qiu with a gloomy face, "These rebels are too powerful. We must strengthen the guards of the palace and absolutely cannot let the assassins sneak into the palace."
