Jing Yuchen curled his lips slightly and asked, "Those people were selected by me to perform in the palace, but...I am really confused and don't understand."
Jing Yuchen was too calm, even though those people went to hunt down Miao Qinghua.
Miao Shouzheng looked at Jing Yuchen coldly with his eagle eyes. Then, a large number of guards rushed over and surrounded Jing Yuchen.
"The Regent's palace banquet is accusing him of treason, arrest him!" He gave the order without any hesitation.
Jing Yuchen stood proudly in the encirclement, "You can take my identity just because you want to? It has to be the Queen Mother's order, right?"
Jing Yuchen swept his gaze over everyone one by one. His eyes were so cold that they made everyone present take a few steps back, looking a little hesitant.
Miao Shouzheng was unhappy, so he drew the knife from the guard beside him and attacked Jing Yuchen.
Jing Yuchen dodged and in a moment, the ministers had already retreated far away, not daring to come forward, allowing the two to fight in the encirclement.
Shao Lecheng held a toothpick in his mouth and said, "Zou Yangyao, aren't you going to save Xiao Chuer?"
Zou Yangyao woke up as if from a dream and immediately left with big strides.
During this period, he has been cooperating with Miao Qinghua, so Miao Qinghua naturally often arranges for him to meet Xiao Chuer. Zou Yangyao is familiar with where Xiao Chuer is placed.
Shao Lecheng raised the corner of his mouth and turned away.
In the palace, after a group of palace maids surrounded Miao Qinghua and evacuated quickly, assassins kept rushing up, and the palace maids around Miao Qinghua kept dying in the line of duty.
But there were fewer and fewer people around her, so few that Miao Qinghua felt increasingly insecure.
Seeing the guards passing by, Miao Qinghua immediately said, "Stop those assassins!"
The guards blocked the assassin's way and engaged him in combat.
Miao Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was gradually becoming safer. She turned to the few remaining palace servants around her and asked, "Why hasn't there been any news from outside the palace?"
"Perhaps the Princess Regent and the Princess Consort have been captured. However, since you, the Queen Mother, have arrived here, I don't know where to report it!"
Miao Qinghua said angrily, "I was thinking of taking down the Regent today, but I didn't expect that the performers of the Plague Festival were all assassins with high martial arts skills. Aren't those women chosen by brothels?"
Miao Qinghua looked extremely depressed. A palace attendant beside her responded somewhat helplessly, "Those actors were wearing masks. Perhaps they weren't the women chosen by the brothel at all!"
Miao Qinghua felt that this made sense, so she brought her people and hurried to the Cining Palace.
The palace was much quieter than the imperial garden.
She sat down and said, "Bring Xiao Chuer here!"
Miao Qinghua opened her mouth and the palace maid immediately stepped forward to do it.
At the same time, in a palace, Zou Yangyao directly fought with the palace servants guarding the door, and then broke into the house.
Xiao Chuer heard something unusual outside and was worried that Zou Yangyao would be hurt. When she saw Zou Yangyao rushing in unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward and hugged Zou Yangyao, burying her face tightly in his chest.
"Husband, I miss you so much!"
Zou Yangyao also hugged Xiao Chuer and stroked her back soothingly. "Leave the palace now. I'll meet you after I finish my work here!"
Xiao Chu'er raised her head and looked at Zou Yangyao with some hesitation in her eyes: "But, if I disappear, the Queen Mother will be the first to suspect you. If you stay, won't you be putting yourself in danger?"
"Be good, there's no time to explain so much now, leave now!"
Xiao Chuer lowered her eyes helplessly, her face full of worry, but she still nodded obediently: "Okay then!"
Afterwards, some guards urged Xiao Chuer to follow them quickly.
Xiao Chuer looked at Zou Yangyao worriedly, and Zou Yangyao nodded at her: "Leave."
Xiao Chuer finally hardened her heart, took a step forward, and left with the guards.
The palace maid who came to take Xiao Chu'er away saw the guard lying on the ground and Zou Yangyao standing at the door. He immediately opened his mouth and scolded him angrily, "Well, you, the Queen Mother treated Madam Zou with courtesy, but you injured the guards. General Zou, are you planning a rebellion?"
The person who spoke was the nanny beside Miao Qinghua. She was very arrogant when she spoke, as if she was also a master of noble status and could scold him, the general, if she was unhappy.
Zou Yangyao walked towards her step by step. Nanny felt the huge pressure coming towards her. Her face gradually changed, and then she pointed at Zou Yangyao and said angrily: "You, what do you want to do? I am the Queen Mother..."
Before she could finish the rest of her words, Zou Yangyao had already slapped her on the neck, and she immediately fainted.
Miao Qinghua did not wait for the nanny to come and report, she only saw Zou Yangyao, full of murderous intent, barging in openly.
A guard was thrown into the inner hall. The palace servants standing inside screamed, stood up, and looked at Zou Yangyao with strange expressions.
Zou Yangyao frowned tightly and said, "Queen Dowager, shouldn't you explain why I went to look for Madam right away, but she still disappeared?"
Miao Qingzhao's face darkened as she faced the furious Zou Yangyao. "How dare you!" she shouted angrily, "Are you questioning me?"
Zou Yangyao's face remained sullen as he asked again, "Queen Dowager, where did you take the hostage?"
"I treated Xiao Chuer well, but you said it was hostage?" Miao Qinghua glared with anger.
While the two were still confronting each other, a palace servant came hurriedly running towards them from outside the palace gate. He fell on the steps because he was too panicked, but quickly got up.
