Yes, it is easy to go out through Xihua Gate. At this moment, the guards are the least lax, and she can go out by relying on the face of Concubine Chen.
After walking a few steps, he stopped again.
That won’t work. My elder brother just passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. If I run away, what if the evil dragon gets angry and revokes his ranking?
Forget it, I'd better go to the Imperial Garden and find a mahogany chair to lie down on for the night.
After identifying it for a while, he headed towards Taiye Lake.
In the inner hall of Jingren Palace, Xuan Ling jumped off the bed.
Empress Duan followed closely behind him, pulling him back and saying:
"Your Majesty, the guards will find the Concubine Chen. It's so late, you should rest. You have to attend the court tomorrow morning."
Xuan Ling stuffed her feet into the dragon-patterned black boots, and Eunuch Fu ran in and knelt down to help her put them on.
"Empress, I want you to forget what happened tonight. You are not allowed to tell anyone in the entire Jingren Palace about it. If you do, you will be beaten to death."
Empress Duan put on his imperial robes and said aggrievedly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Xuan Ling walked out without even fastening his collar.
"Empress, I will have the Ministry of Internal Affairs send a reward tomorrow."
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
He strode out of Jingren Palace, and the guards behind him followed him.
Qingdai came in and saw Queen Duan sitting in front of the bed with a wet face.
"Your Majesty, don't be sad. If Concubine Chen continues to make trouble like this, the Emperor will not tolerate her."
Empress Duan smiled bitterly and said:
"From the moment we entered Jingren Palace, even if it was just a show, the Emperor held my hand and his eyes were always on Concubine Chen.
I entered the palace to marry the Emperor just after I came of age, and I never understood what love was, but now I finally understand what love is like."
Qingdai wiped her tears and comforted her:
"My Lady, you are of noble status and are the mother of the world.
The Concubine Chen is causing great trouble and is wasting the Emperor's favor on her.
Before long, the emperor's patience ran out and she was finished too.
But you are the Emperor's eternal wife."
Empress Duan forced herself to speak:
"You are right. I shouldn't be discouraged. Concubine Chen has too many weaknesses. If I just pick on them, the Emperor will be furious. It won't last long."
"Yes, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Xuan Ling did not sit in the imperial carriage, but walked quickly, with more and more guards following him, from eight to more than dozens.
He turned around and scolded, "Why are you following me? Have you found the Concubine Chen?"
Eunuch Fu said carefully, "Your Majesty, the guards have already dispersed to search."
"Where is Xue Binghuai?"
"In reply to the Emperor, Commander Xue will not be on duty tonight."
"You useless bastards, go find it too! Don't just stand here!"
Some guards scattered to look for him, and the remaining ten guards with swords followed Xuan Ling on the left and right.
Eunuch Fu asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, will the Empress go to the Imperial Hospital?"
Xuan Ling stopped and frowned.
"She doesn't have the guts, unless she doesn't want Qi Yan to live."
Kicked Eunuch Fu in the buttocks,
"You little dog slave, you only know how to talk nonsense. Why don't you go looking for him? It's so dark at night. What if that idiot accidentally steps on air and falls?"
"Your Majesty, the roads in our palace are very smooth, without any potholes or holes. The Empress won't fall into them, unless she falls into the river..."
Xuan Ling was startled and said anxiously, "Send someone to guard Yuhu Lake and Taiye Lake as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When he heard about falling into the river, Xuan Ling thought of Sheng Xiyan being pushed into the Jade Lake during the Dragon Boat Festival, and he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.
