Qiu Shui and Qiu Yue had countless broken ribs, and their tendons in their hands and feet were also severed.
The leg was in a twisted position, clearly broken.
The two of them were in so much pain that they were sweating profusely, and their eyes had already lost focus, but they still stared intently in her direction.
To be precise, he was staring at the child in her arms.
Yun Qingluo suppressed her heartache and bit her tongue hard to prevent herself from collapsing.
She looked again at the person restraining Qiu Shui and Qiu Yue and noticed something unusual.
The aura emanating from them was completely different from that of the palace guards.
It was quite similar to the aura emanating from the gazes felt in the Imperial Study.
Qiu Shui and Qiu Yue are outstanding guards in the Divine Guard Camp.
The palace guards couldn't last three moves against them.
Any one of the Divine Guards of the Divine Guard Camp is a force to be reckoned with, capable of taking on a hundred enemies even on the battlefield.
How could we possibly be beaten so badly that we couldn't fight back?
Autumn Water and Autumn Moon were specially chosen by Cloud Shadow.
She didn't smell any medicine in the hall, so the two of them shouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
so……
What makes these sixteen people different?
Yun Qingluo suppressed her doubts, met Qiu Shui and Qiu Yue's gazes, and softened her voice.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
As soon as Yun Qingluo finished speaking, Qiu Shui and Qiu Yue smiled and finally couldn't help but faint.
Yun Qingluo lowered her head. The two little ones seemed stunned by the scene and stared at her without saying a word.
Yun Qingluo's expression softened, and her voice became completely gentle.
"Zeyan and Qianyue, don't be afraid, Mother will protect you. They are all bad people. Mother will chase them away, okay?"
The two little ones seemed to understand Yun Qingluo's words and reached out their little hands to touch Yun Qingluo's face.
Yun Qingluo smiled gently and lowered her head to kiss their little faces.
The little one was comforted by his mother's kiss and finally stopped crying loudly.
Yun Qingluo turned her head and asked, "Where are Yun Tao and Yun Xin?"
Yun Tao and Yun Xin lacked composure, and fearing something might happen, she didn't let them come along.
"Your Highness, the two are in the side hall. The scene here is bloody, so I didn't let them come over."
"Okay, surround the Empress's bedchamber. I'll go over there first and come back later. Don't let a single fly out."
As Yun Qingluo finished speaking, she glanced at the sixteen people.
Seeing that their expressions did not change, Yun Qingluo realized something and her heart sank.
However, considering the two children, they plan to settle the children first.
Side hall.
Yun Tao and Yun Xin, their eyes red, surrounded her, "Your Highness..."
Yun Qingluo didn't have time to explain to them, "You hold the children. There's goat milk in the package that An Jiu brought. Feed them and make sure to take good care of them."
Yun Qingluo handed the children to them, then took their pulses and examined them.
Fortunately, there were antidote pills. The two children were only weakened by the toxins and will recover after recuperation.
However, Yun Qingluo's anger continued to rise.
"Close the door and go to the inner room. There are guards around. You just need to take care of Zeyan and Qianyue. I'll go back to the manor together after I've finished my business."
After giving her instructions, Yun Qingluo walked out.
Yun Tao, however, tugged at Yun Qingluo's sleeve and said worriedly, "Your Highness, we'll wait for you to go home together."
Yun Qingluo had her back to them, her eyes stinging with tears.
She held back the tears welling up in her eyes, said nothing, and simply nodded heavily.
As she stepped out the door, Yun Qingluo wiped the moisture from her face, her eyes immediately turning icy cold.
When Yun Qingluo entered the main hall, the Empress had already woken up.
"I am the Empress of Tianmo Kingdom, how dare you treat me like this?"
I'm going to see the Emperor right now and have him punish you.
"Oh? Does Your Majesty know how your predecessor died?"
After Yun Qinglu finished speaking, she casually walked to the seat of honor and sat down.
Upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words, the Empress was startled, and fear appeared on her face.
But when she saw Yun Qingluo sit down in her seat, she immediately shrieked, "That's my seat, you bitch..."
“An Jiu, the Empress can’t speak. Teach her.” Yun Qingluo took out a handkerchief and wiped the brown liquid off her hands.
*Smack!*
Yun Qingluo said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you eat before you left?"
Hearing Yun Qingluo's words, An Jiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt more confident.
He flexed his wrists, shook his hands, and started fighting with both hands.
By the time Yun Qinglu called for a halt, the Empress's face was already swollen.
His teeth were so badly damaged that only a few remained, and they were on the verge of falling out.
Yun Qinglu clicked her tongue twice. "An Jiu, doesn't your hand hurt? Isn't there a ruler over there?"
An Jiu glanced at the ruler on the table not far away, then looked back at Yun Qingluo.
His eyes looked a little aggrieved as he rubbed his hand, which had gone numb from slapping.
He mumbled something, but Yun Qingluo didn't hear it clearly for a moment.
But An Jiu knew in her heart that the princess was punishing herself, and also punishing her.
Yun Qingluo glanced at the Empress, who was stammering and didn't know what she was saying, and then looked away with some disdain.
After glancing at the concubines, Yun Qingluo chuckled, "Who was it that drugged my son and daughter? Step forward and let this princess introduce you."
The concubines saw Yun Qingluo arrogantly surround the Empress's palace and even dare to slap the Empress's face until it looked like a pig's head.
For a moment, no one dared to utter a sound.
After a while, a fierce but weak roar rang out:
"Your Highness, are you... are you planning a rebellion?"
"With the Regent absent, how dare you be so arrogant?"
"Where did you get the audacity to beat the Empress? Aren't you afraid the Emperor will find out and chop off your head?"
Yun Qinglu smiled faintly, her expression completely unconcerned.
She laughed and said, "Then guess, will my head hit the ground first, or yours?"
Seeing everyone's theatrical change of expression, Yun Qingluo snorted coldly, "What? Playing the same old trick again? Daring to do it but not daring to admit it?"
Upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words, everyone's expression changed slightly.
She was referring to the time she went to the palace to express her gratitude.
Yun Qingluo didn't look at them; instead, she turned to look at the sixteen people who still hadn't let go of Qiushui and Qiuyue.
An Jiu noticed Yun Qingluo's gaze and wanted to go over, but Yun Qingluo stopped him.
Yun Qingluo lifted her foot and walked over.
The closer she got, the stronger the sense of familiarity she felt.
It was a deep-seated familiarity that made her want to escape instantly.
Yun Qingluo suddenly stopped in her tracks.
An Jiu, not understanding the situation, walked behind Yun Qingluo, assuming that Yun Qingluo was reluctant to do it.
"Your Highness, perhaps I should..."
Before An Jiu could finish speaking, Yun Qingluo stopped him from continuing.
Yun Qingluo said calmly, "They are already dead."
An Jiu's face showed a look of shock.
My first thought was that the princess was so angry she had gone mad.
The eyes of those sixteen people were still moving, and their hands were still moving.
They were just looking this way.
How could he die?
