At this moment, Jiao Sigun and Pu Duandiao of the Empress's Guard also broke out in a cold sweat: "Please forgive us, Your Majesty, but the Empress has given a strict order that no one will be seen today. If we let anyone in, we will all be doomed."
"You bastards, is the Emperor just anyone?" Zhao Si cursed. "You're afraid of the Empress, but not the Emperor."
"We dare not!" Jiao Sigun and Pu Duandiao bowed repeatedly, extremely anxious. How could the two of us lowly guards face such a situation?
"Why is the Empress hiding in the palace in broad daylight and not allowing anyone to enter? Is she seeing someone again?" Zhao Si suddenly sneered.
Jiao Sigun and the others' expressions changed. Who in the palace didn't know about the scandal between the Empress and the Regent? This person's sarcastic tone was truly malicious.
At this moment, a sharp-tongued voice rang out: "Her Majesty is clearly unwell, yet you are making veiled accusations here; you are truly guilty of a crime deserving of death!"
Rong Mo stormed out, glaring fiercely at Zhao Si. That guy was just too wicked.
Zhao Si was equally furious. This little brat dared to yell at him like that. Just as he was about to say something, another group of guards rushed over.
"Miss Rong, what happened?" The one who arrived was none other than the Imperial Guards led by Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang.
That night of the coup, if it weren't for the Empress's protection, they would probably have been dismissed from their posts and imprisoned on some fabricated charge.
Therefore, they knew very well that they had no way out and could only follow the regent and the queen.
During this period, the Empress arranged for the Imperial Guards to be stationed nearby, as if she were on guard against something.
They noticed the unusual activity here today and rushed over with their men. They were quite surprised to see the emperor and his entourage and hurriedly paid their respects.
Zhao Si was even more furious when she saw this group of people: "What, are you all here to help the Empress stop the Emperor?"
"We dare not!" Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang were also at a loss, experiencing the awkwardness of Jiao Si Gun and Pu Duan Diao.
"Alright," Bi Qi stopped Zhao Si from escalating the situation, then looked at Rong Mo, "Xiao Mo, the Emperor and I have important business to discuss with Linglong. Go and inform him."
Seeing the patriarch, whom he feared most, speak in person, Rong Mo felt a natural pressure. Just as he was wondering what to do, the Empress's voice came from inside: "Let them in."
...
Meanwhile, Liu Ning carefully made her way through the tunnel. There were many experts in the palace, and many guard formations. Making any noise would easily expose her.
They finally arrived at Kunning Palace, and the exit of the passage was inside a wardrobe.
She vaguely heard Bi Linglong talking to a woman. Just as she was about to push open the wardrobe and rush out to kill the woman, a eunuch's shrill voice suddenly rang out: "The Emperor has arrived!"
She frowned, deciding to wait. If the emperor arrived, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't be accompanied by skilled fighters, and the more people there were, the easier it would be for something to go wrong.
Thinking of the shrill voice of the eunuch just now, she was filled with anger. Apart from the Bi family father and daughter, the person she hated the most at this moment was Eunuch Lü.
He originally thought the other party was his loyal dog and trusted him completely, but he never expected that the other party would betray him.
If it weren't for his inside help, I wouldn't have realized something was wrong only when the palace gates caught fire.
Unfortunately, we don't know where he went during this time, and we can't find him at all. We can only kill the Bi family father and daughter first.
...
At this moment, outside Kunning Palace, a beautiful figure hid in the shadows, watching Zhao Ruizhi and Bi Qi enter the palace, and couldn't help but frown: "Should I help or not?"
