The palace maid knelt on the ground and said to Miao Qinghua, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he's gone!"
Miao Qinghua was originally very calm and composed, but when she heard this, she was stunned for a moment.
"The emperor has so many people watching him, how could he not disappear?" Miao Qinghua asked angrily, her voice sounding very sharp.
The servant knelt on the ground with a look of grievance.
"Yes, there was a man in black. He was very skilled in Qinggong. Many people in the palace chased him, but they couldn't catch him! Moreover, he didn't enter through the main gate and snatched the emperor away!"
"Instead, they peeled off the tiles one by one on the roof, and then the roof fell down, stunning the guards inside the palace. The emperor didn't make a single sound..."
"Just like that, it was stolen away silently! If I hadn't gone to check on the Emperor as usual to see if he was sleeping peacefully, I wouldn't have known he was missing!"
The palace servants gave a lot of explanations, and to Miao Qinghua, all their words seemed to be explaining how innocent they were and how cunning their opponents were.
Miao Qinghua threw the cup on the table at the palace maid, who shrank back and crouched down.
After Miao Qinghua calmed down from her anger, she turned her gaze to Zou Yangyao, "General Zou, go chase the assassin with the prince now. If we can find the emperor, I won't hold your disrespect against you. Otherwise, Xiao Chu'er must die, and so must you!"
Zou Yangyao immediately knelt down as if he was threatened.
"If Your Majesty asks me to chase the assassin, I'm afraid I don't have the authority to mobilize the guards. Your Majesty, could you please grant me something that would allow me to mobilize some of the guards?"
Miao Qinghua frowned slightly: "There is General Miao in the palace. He can mobilize troops for you."
"Her Majesty, the Regent has the audacity to send assassins to kill you. Do you think General Miao would have time to care about me after dealing with the Regent?"
When Zou Yangyao raised his head, he looked at Miao Qinghua with a very conflicted expression, even a little anxious.
I rushed to save people, but I didn't get what I wanted, and it was difficult to leave.
Miao Qinghua frowned and finally spoke: "Come here, I need to write a handwritten letter."
Zou Yangyao then said nothing and waited silently.
Miao Qinghua wrote the letter anxiously and handed it to Zou Yangyao.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Afterwards, Zou Yangyao stood up and glanced at the palace servants present: "Protect the Queen Mother well!"
After saying this, Zou Yangyao walked out.
Miao Qinghua felt that Zou Yangyao's words just now were a bit redundant. Whether these people protected her or not, why did Zou Yangyao need to say anything?
After Zou Yangyao walked out, he took away the guards guarding outside Miao Qinghua's palace one by one.
The guards hesitated: "General Zou, if you transfer us away, who will protect the Queen Mother?"
Zou Yangyao glanced away displeasedly, took out the imperial edict in his hand, and asked, "Why, do you think this general can't read the imperial edict?"
"General Zou misunderstood. That's not what I meant."
"Then why are you wasting time? Follow this general!" After Zou Yangyao said this sternly, he turned around and walked forward.
The guards had no choice but to follow silently behind.
The thief who stole the emperor had excellent martial arts skills, and many guards could only chase him on the ground, causing chaos in the palace. The thief was not in a hurry and just disappeared with the emperor, as if he wanted to disrupt the guards patrolling below.
Seeing Zou Yangyao leading his troops, he leaped and disappeared in one direction. Zou Yangyao opened his mouth and ordered: "Chase!"
But that direction was getting farther and farther away from the Cining Palace.
Meanwhile, Miao Qinghua, anxious because her nanny hadn't arrived yet, ordered the palace servants, "Go check why Xiao Chu'er hasn't been brought here yet!"
A palace maid was about to go out to check, but saw that the two palace maids guarding the palace gate suddenly closed the door.
Miao Qinghua looked at them in surprise and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"
Just as she shouted angrily, a dagger was placed on her neck.
Miao Qinghua's eyes widened: "Big, bold!"
Afterwards, Miao Qinghua yelled at the top of her lungs, "Someone, someone, someone! Someone is rebelling!"
The dagger in the maid's hand moved even closer to Miao Qinghua. Miao Qinghua felt a sharp pain in her neck. She widened her eyes and pointed at her, her face filled with anger: "You, you are the regent's man?"
The palace servant sarcastically reminded, "Queen Dowager, you'd better save your energy. The guards outside the palace have all been taken away by General Zou!"
Miao Qinghua's face was filled with shock. "So he just told you to protect me because you're his people!"
"Queen Mother, why don't you think about where the Phoenix Seal is?"
