The two maids were shocked when they saw Gu Xinglang's eyes, but it was too late to retreat.
Gu Xinglang, whose legs were clearly unable to stand, slowly stood up from the flower bed, and it looked like he could walk normally.
The two maids stepped back and turned around, only to find that Gu Xinglang, who had just been standing in front of the flower stand, was already standing in front of them. Before they could make any attacking or self-protective moves, Gu Xinglang's hands had already covered their faces.
"Who are you?" Yu Xiaoxiao jumped onto the top of the watchtower and looked at the black-robed man in front of her with a wary look.
The black-robed man seemed a little surprised by Yu Xiaoxiao's sudden appearance. He took a step back and asked, "Princess Linglong?"
"I asked you who you are?" Yu Xiaoxiao stood on the slope of the spire, her body tilted but standing firmly.
The black-robed man laughed and said, "The princess's martial arts are indeed surprising."
Yu Xiaoxiao lost her patience. After she set the fire in the library, she stood on the rooftop and looked up to admire the moon. The moon was not there, but Yu Xiaoxiao saw a person standing on the tallest building in the palace. Before going to the rooftop, Yu Xiaoxiao had been observing this person downstairs for a long time. Seeing that this person was standing motionless, like a corpse, she went up to the rooftop. Unexpectedly, after a conversation, Her Royal Highness found that she didn't know this person, but he seemed to be very familiar with her.
"Let me ask you one last question," Yu Xiaoxiao said coldly to the man in black robe, "Who are you?"
The man in black robe retracted the little finger of his left hand and put the copper bell into his sleeve. He turned his body and flew into the air, like a bird returning to the forest, and flew towards the watchtower.
Oh my god!
Isn't it a bit too easy to run away like this? Yu Xiaoxiao chased after the man in black robe, and then found that this man ran very fast. Even a human like her who has evolved couldn't catch up with him for a while.
At this time, Xiao Wei carried the three young eunuchs on his shoulders and hands and jumped from the third floor of the Book Pavilion to the ground. He put the three frightened young eunuchs on the ground and shouted, "Get out quickly."
The three young eunuchs didn't even have the time to say thank you to their savior before they were urged by Xiao Wei to support each other and run out of the study courtyard.
Xiao Wei glanced at the flower stand and didn't see Gu Xinglang. He immediately panicked, "Prince Consort!" Xiao Wei shouted Gu Xinglang and ran to the flower stand.
The flowers and trees in the flower bed were kept green and lush by the gardeners of the imperial palace even in autumn. However, at this moment, the flower bed was reflecting the firelight, and the black shadows cast on the ground were glowing red and huge, twisting and stretching forward, looking hideous and terrifying.
Xiao Wei stood blankly beside the flower bed. Before he approached the flower bed, he was almost choked by the thick smoke. Now that he was in front of the flower bed, he was choked by the smell of blood and felt nauseous. Covering his mouth and nose, Xiao Wei walked to the place where the smell of blood was the heaviest. When Xiao Wei walked around the back of the flower bed, he saw two bodies with their heads missing.
At first glance, he could tell that these were two women's bodies, which made Xiao Wei feel relieved. It was good that they were not Gu Xinglang's body. Then, looking at the two bodies again, Xiao Wei saw that his own princess could bear to share the bear's body, but this time, Xiao Wei felt sick. The two bodies fell together, and their heads were not chopped off, but they looked like they were crushed alive. The pieces of meat hung on the milky white throat, irritating Xiao Wei's eyes.
Taking a step back, looking at the two bodies soaked in human blood, Xiao Wei shouted: "Prince Consort, Prince Consort?!"
Two eunuch guards heard something was wrong in Xiao Wei's shouting and ran over to see what was going on. But before they could ask any questions, they took one look at the corpse on the ground and then vomited loudly.
Xiao Wei didn't care about the two palace guards. He ran around the flower platform, jumped onto it, searched again, then jumped off it and grabbed a palace guard who was also running towards the flower platform. He said urgently, "There's an assassin in the palace, and the prince consort is missing. Go find him for me!"
When the imperial guard heard Xiao Wei say that there was an assassin in the palace, he was stunned for a moment, then turned and ran, shouting, "There's an assassin!"
The imperial palace, which was already in chaos, became even more chaotic.
Seeing that he had no power to order the man around, Xiao Wei could only stamp his feet and search the courtyard of the Lanshu Pavilion. Failing to find Gu Xinglang, Xiao Wei ran out of the Lanshu Pavilion, shouting "Gu Xinglang, the Prince Consort" while searching around the Imperial Palace without any clue.
When Emperor Xianzong heard that an assassin had entered the palace, he turned around and scolded the two imperial guards who were guarding him: "What's going on? Why do I keep you around?!"
The two generals of the imperial guards knelt down hurriedly and pleaded guilty.
"Go and catch him!" Xianzong shouted angrily to the two generals of the imperial guards: "I don't want you to kneel now, I want you to catch him now!"
At this time, Xiao Wei ran over with a panicked look on his face, and knelt down on the ground when he saw Xianzong.
Xianzong recognized that it was Xiao Wei who was kneeling before him this time, so he suppressed his anger and said, "You haven't left the palace yet? Take Gu Xinglang with you. I can't take care of him now."
Xiao Wei said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort is missing. I, your servant, can't find him."
There were assassins in the palace, setting fire, and they were probably going to kill people, and then Gu Xinglang disappeared? Xianzong thought about these two things together and almost dropped Yu Ziyi in his arms. "Gu Xinglang is missing?" Xianzong shouted to Xiao Wei, "Aren't you guarding him? Where is he? He can't walk, where can he run to?!" Although he didn't like this kid from the Gu family, Xianzong didn't want his daughter to become a widow so soon!
Xiao Wei was shocked and annoyed, and said, "Slave, I went to save people. Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"
"I," Xianzong wanted to kick Xiao Wei to death.
Xiao Wei kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty, I found the bodies of two palace maids in the courtyard of the Lanshu Pavilion. The Prince Consort..."
"Don't curse your master!" Emperor Xianzong interrupted Xiao Wei and ordered his attendants, "Go find him for me. Even if you have to search the entire palace, you must find the consort!"
"I obey your order," the guards around Emperor Xianzong received the order together.
Yu Ziyi, who had been sleeping, suddenly burst into tears again.
Xianzong was annoyed. He held Yu Ziyi and rocked her gently, saying, "Don't make trouble!"
Jingzhong said, "Your Majesty, let me carry His Majesty the Seventh Prince."
When Xiao Wei heard Jingzhong's words, he wanted to go find his own prince consort's people, but he didn't care that several secret guards were still blocking him. Xiao Wei risked running into the secret guards' swords, rushed forward, and said to Xianshi: "Your Majesty, let me take His Majesty out of the palace!"
Xianzong looked at Jingzhong, then at Xiaowei, put Yu Ziyi in Xiaowei's hand and said, "Why are you leaving the palace now? Just stay here for me!" As soon as Xiaowei left the palace, his daughter knew that Gu Xinglang was missing and might have been murdered. Xianzong thought that if his daughter made a scene in the palace this time, he could go to see his ancestors in advance.
