"Be careful!" Sang Hong's expression was solemn, and everyone channeled their inner energy to prepare for battle as the group slowly approached.
Upon finally seeing her face clearly, Sang Hong's expression changed: "Empress Dowager?"
Sang Qian and Zheng Dan were both shocked, never expecting that this beautiful woman with many wounds on her body was actually the Empress Dowager.
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through everyone's minds. Even the Empress Dowager had suffered such a serious injury; it seemed that the situation in the palace had become quite chaotic.
Furthermore, why would the Empress Dowager come here? They don't usually have any connection.
At this moment, Liu Ning's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
Because of the difference between men and women, Sang Hong felt it was inconvenient to touch the other person. Zheng Dan handed Sisi back to Sang Qian and squatted down to help Liu Ning up.
"What happened to the Empress Dowager?"
Liu Ning opened her eyes and looked at the other person's oval face, and sighed inwardly that Zu An's aesthetic sense was indeed always on point.
However, she was extremely weak at this moment and could only say quickly, "I am Zu... Zuan's woman..."
After saying that, he could no longer withstand his injuries and fainted.
As a result, the remaining few people stood bewildered in the wind.
Zheng Dan turned around in shock, her voice trembling slightly: "Just now...did I hear that right?"
Sang Qian's face flushed red and then turned pale: "I think... I also... misheard."
However, everyone knew very well that each person here was a master cultivator. Although the other party's voice was soft, it could not escape the ears of the group.
Sang Hong's old face was quite interesting. That kid Zu An was indeed a womanizer. He had stolen his own daughter-in-law and daughter. Well, it seems that he had given his daughter away voluntarily, but I never expected that he would be so audacious as to even steal the Empress Dowager!
If this gets out, it could lead to the annihilation of the family and their entire clan.
I'm afraid only that kid in the whole world could do something like that!
Zheng Dan angrily threw the woman in his arms to the ground, saying, "What's wrong with this woman? Coming here in the middle of the night and saying something like that out of nowhere, is she sick in the head?!"
Sang Qian sighed, "She is the Empress Dowager, yet she is so badly injured. It is clear that today's rebellion was aimed at the Liu family. With so many injuries, she must have fought her way out of the encirclement but had nowhere to go, so she came here."
"There are so many places in the capital, what do you mean by having nowhere to go? Isn't the Liu family always so arrogant? Why are they coming here? Are we that familiar with them?" Zheng Dan paced around in the courtyard, clearly very agitated. At the same time, she admired her sister-in-law for revealing the truth in just a few words.
Sang Qian glanced at her with a long look: "Why do you think the Empress Dowager said such a nonsensical thing before she fell into a coma? It seems that there's nowhere else in the entire capital she can trust except us, and the reason she trusts us is probably because she knows about us..."
She glanced at her father somewhat embarrassedly before continuing, "Knowing our relationship with Azu, we won't harm her."
Zheng Dan was still furious: "Why should we not harm her just because of this relationship? Even if we don't harm her, it doesn't mean we have to risk our lives to save her."
"That guy, Ah Zu, is really something. Doesn't he have any women at home? He has to go out and flirt with other women."
Sang Qian glanced at her with a wistful look, as if she had forgotten that we weren't Azu's family either; he was just another womanizer on the side.
"And, Ah Zu really isn't picky about food, he even wants such an old woman!"
Zheng Dan grew angrier as she spoke, but after glancing at the Empress Dowager on the ground, she had to admit that the woman was indeed beautiful, and had a large, pert bottom...
Ugh, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.
At this moment, Sang Hong finally spoke up: "No matter what her reason for coming here, I don't think we should keep her. She lives in the palace and is the Empress Dowager. Now that she is injured like this, it means that the Liu family is completely finished. Those rebels will definitely search for her whereabouts everywhere. If we take her in, we will only bring trouble upon ourselves."
Sang Qian shook her head: "No, now that she has found us and has the favor of our grandfather, how can we stand idly by? Otherwise, when our grandfather comes back and finds out everything, he will definitely blame us."
A ruthless glint flashed across Sang Hong's face: "Just let him not know. Either kill her or throw her out into the street. The rebels will take care of her."
Zheng Dan then spoke up: "Azu may never know this, but we will definitely feel guilty and unable to face her. If I were in her situation, I would risk my life to find the other sisters. Obviously, I wouldn't want to end up like this either."
Sang Hong's expression changed: "But do you know the price of keeping her here? Once those rebels find out, neither we nor Sisi will survive. I am responsible for your safety!"
Sang Qian took a deep breath: "Father, I know your concerns, but we really can't stand idly by in this matter. We have to save her."
Sang Hong's expression shifted between light and dark, and he finally sighed, "Love truly makes people irrational."
After saying that, he instantly flashed out of the courtyard wall.
Zheng Dan was startled: "What's wrong with him?"
Sang Qian stopped her: "Don't worry, Father is going to erase the traces left by the Empress Dowager along the way, otherwise the pursuers will easily find us here."
Seeing the scars on the Empress Dowager's body, Zheng Dan was somewhat impressed: "Lord Sang is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He is indeed more meticulous in handling matters."
Sang Qian gave a wry smile: "Father is indeed extremely rational. This time, he couldn't resist our whims and played along with our nonsense."
