thump!
The palace servant's legs went limp and he fell to his knees on the ground. His face was pale and he looked like a ghost in the light of the fire.
His whole body was trembling, his heart sank to the bottom, his mind was blank, and only one question remained, lingering in his mind -
Why!?
The drug he gave Zheng Baosu would take a full hour to take effect! How come these people came so quickly! ?
Where exactly did the problem occur?!
He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore.
A lazy and teasing voice came from behind: "I'll leave the person to you now. I'll go back and report. You better watch out this time. If he escapes again... the next time you see him, he may not be alive."
One of the imperial guards saluted and said, "Thank you very much for your help, Second Young Master. We are very grateful and will do our best to protect him until he dies!"
When the palace maid heard this, she was immediately shocked!
He looked back in disbelief!
Thank you, Second Young Master?
Xie Anbai! ?
Didn't he say that he couldn't make it anymore and left the capital a long time ago?!
Why did he suddenly appear in the palace again?
Or did you come here specially for him?!
The palace maid was shocked and suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead!
Xie Anbai tapped his palm lightly with the bone fan, and when he turned around, he smiled suddenly.
"Why? Are you surprised that I didn't die at the hands of your master?"
He leaped down from the palace wall with great agility, walked slowly to the side of the palace servant, tilted his head to look at him a few times, and let out a light sigh.
"You are also an old man in the palace, right? It seems that he has spent a lot of time and effort in planning these years..."
His voice was gentle, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter, but the palace servant became more frightened after hearing it, and was shaking like a sieve.
It goes without saying what will be waiting for him after being caught!
A flash of despair flashed across his eyes, and then he gritted his teeth and was about to burst out and crash into the palace wall!
But he had just stood up and his feet hadn't moved an inch when he felt a strong force coming from his shoulders!
He was forced to his knees again.
Xie Anbai held the fan in one hand and pressed it on his shoulder. It looked effortless, but it made the palace maid feel as if there was a heavy weight on her shoulders! She couldn't get up no matter what!
"Save your energy." Xie Anbai curled his lips as if he was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes, only coldness.
"You and your master will be reunited soon."
After saying that, he took a step back.
The imperial guards behind him immediately surrounded him!
…
After the imperial guards took the palace maid away, Xie Anbai was the only one left here.
He watched them leave, stood there quietly for a while, and then walked towards the Qiyuan Hall.
It was the middle of the night, the sky was pitch black, and without the torches, only the dim light from the palace lanterns in the distance made the place seem even deeper and quieter.
Xie Anbai walked forward step by step, very slowly.
His face was calm and no emotion could be seen.
Countless images flashed through his mind.
Scenes came one after another like silent waves, about to drown him.
Finally, he arrived outside the Qiyuan Hall and finally stood still.
Even in the middle of the night, this place is still majestic and awe-inspiring.
Xie Anbai came back to his senses and took a deep breath, like a person who was about to drown and finally got a chance to catch his breath.
A cool breeze blew over him, making him extremely sober.
His eyes gradually became firm.
Immediately, he lifted his clothes and knelt down in the direction of the Qiyuan Hall! (End of this chapter)
