“Guards!”

Ming Shu shouted.

Ye Mochen went on his guard and observed his surroundings silently. However, no one appeared. The imperial guards that were protecting Ming Shu, on the other hand, fought their way out and retreated in a certain direction.

Ye Mochen: “...”

Ming Shu ran away quickly, but Ye Mochen was familiar with the palace too. After all, it used to be the palace of the Afterglow Nation.

Thus, the two parties kept the same distance between them.

In the end, Ming Shu retreated to Yangxin Hall and closed the door. Lianxin panted heavily. Her heart was pounding furiously and it felt as though it was going to burst out any moment.

“Where did you transfer them to?” Junjue came forward and held onto Ming Shu. He frowned and asked, “Where are the imperial guards?”

“They ran away.” Ming Shu panted. “The plague is so scary only idiots will not run away.”

“...” Who are you fooling! The palace is the safest place now. Only idiots would run out of the palace.

“Lianxin, get me some snacks.” Ming Shu called on Lianxin. I need to have some snacks to calm myself down. I was called for a fight in the middle of the night. So hungry.

“Your Majesty, where do I get snacks for you now?” Lianxin wanted to cry.

We are surrounded.

“I kept some inside this room yesterday. Go and look for them,” Junjue ordered Lianxin.

Lianxin felt a sense of relief and rushed to the middle of Yangxin Hall. She found the fruit preserves that Junjue put away.

Ming Shu ate two mouthfuls of it to control her emotions and then stuffed a small piece into Junjue’s mouth.

Junjue froze on the spot.

She is willing to give some to me?!

Will the sun rise from the west tomorrow?

Does she want to kill me?!

The sweet flavor of the fruit preserves spread on his tongue and it seemed to seep into his heart. Actually, it was just a very small piece, around the size of a thumb... so stingy.

Junjue swallowed the fruit preserve. “Where are your people?”

This was the most important question now.

How can there be so few imperial guards in the palace?

“I can manage them alone. Why will I need the imperial guards?” Ming Shu started acting cool.

Junjue licked his lips. There was still the sweet taste of the fruit preserve on it. “Do you not trust me, Your Majesty?”

If she didn’t want to tell him where she transferred them to, it meant that she didn’t believe in him.

Ming Shu: “...” I can really subdue them on my own. I just need to commit suicide! Why don’t you believe me!

When she saw Junjue’s expression darkening, Ming Shu said casually, “I asked them to go and search the prime minister’s residence.”

Junjue: “...”

You sent people to search a house in the middle of the night and still dare to hug me and sleep... how big is your heart?!

Junjue felt that he didn’t know what this crazy person was thinking.

Boom!

The door was slammed from outside.

The door of Yangxin Hall was quite sturdy so it didn’t open even after being knocked a few times. They started shooting arrows at them but they didn’t have many arrows to waste either, so the arrow rain stopped after a while.

The imperial guards approached the door and listened to the commotion outside.

“Your Majesty, they want to set a fire.”

“Oh, barbecued human meat...”

The imperial guards looked at Ming Shu all at once. The resentment in their eyes was apparent. They looked as though they could bury Ming Shu alive. The other party hadn’t even started and their empress was already cursing them!

Mister coughed and changed her sentence. “Inform Lord Zhou to save us now and also, ask him to bring me a drumstick.”

The imperial guards: “...” If Lord Zhou knew about this, he would vomit blood!

Junjue saw the imperial guards running to the back of Yangxin Hall and a flare went up in the air.

After the first flare, there was a second one.

“Your Majesty, something is wrong. Why is there a second flare?” The imperial guard that went to shoot the flare gun came back, puzzled.

“Did you shoot it wrong?”

The imperial guard shook his head.

He just shot it once. He remembered it clearly. Also, according to the plan, he was supposed to shoot once too. He would not have made that mistake.

If he didn’t shoot wrongly, who shot the second flare?

Ghost!

Everyone looked at each other, speechless.

No matter who shot the second flare, Ming Shu was still depressed. “I hope that Lord Zhou brings my drumstick.”

“Your Majesty, what do we do now?” The imperial guards surrounded Ming Shu and asked her anxiously.

Ming Shu tilted her head and smiled. “We cheer for Lord Zhou.”

Pu—

Even if they cheered for him, he would not hear them!

Is this the time for cheering!

...

Outside the hall...

Ye Mochen looked in the direction of the palace gates. It was burning brightly and there seemed to be sounds of a fight going on.

“Master, Ning Furong has fought her way in.”

Ye Mochen frowned and ordered in a cold voice, “Light the fire.”

He chose to act today because he heard that Ning Furong was going to force the empress to abdicate today. Ning Furong was the descendant of an Afterglow official. He didn’t know why she did this but to him, it was a piece of good news.

The man in black took the torches and prepared to light them.

However, just as someone approached the door of the hall, an arrow shot out from somewhere and the person fell to the ground. The torch landed beside him.

“Master, be careful!”

Ye Mochen was protected in the middle. It was all dark around Yangxin Hall. They couldn’t see where the person who shot the arrow was hiding.

“Hurry up!” Ye Mochen shouted.

Someone when up again. However, the same thing happened. He was killed before he could get near the gate.

Ye Mochen wore an indifferent expression and took the torch from his subordinate. He threw it at the door and then ordered the others to spread out.

Numerous arrows shot at them from all directions.

“There is an ambush!”

Ye Mochen knew that it was an ambush. There were so many archers and he was not blind.

“That dog emperor led us here purposely!”

The door had already started burning and the outside of Yangxin Hall was lit up brightly too. There were many archers on the walls surrounding them and they kept shooting arrows at them.

The orderly sound of footsteps sounded from all around Yangxin Hall and got nearer.

They were surrounded.

The situation changed immediately.

The archers seemed to have gotten an order and stopped shooting arrows. When they looked at them again, they had disappeared.

However, the person that appeared was beyond Ye Mochen’s expectation.

Ning Furong carried a sword stained with blood and came to him with a bunch of people. “Third Duke.”

Ye Mochen frowned. This Ning Furong... how did she come so fast?!

Ning Furong looked at Yangxin Hall which was already burning and smiled. There was a bright light in her eyes. “Third Duke, I have to thank you today. You helped me greatly.”

She entered the palace really easily. Along the way, she noticed that many people were subdued already.

At first, she thought that everything was as planned. However, it seemed as though someone was ahead of her and that person was the one she kept thinking about.

Ye Mochen looked at her vigilantly. “Are you here to save Dongqing?”

“Save? You are thinking too much.” Ning Furong smiled and said, “Purple Moon Nation destroyed my Afterglow Nation. I am here to take revenge for Afterglow Nation.”

Ye Mochen didn’t say anything. He waited for Ning Furong to continue.

“Third Duke, Dongqing’s powers are gone. All my men are inside and outside the palace.”

“So?” Ye Mochen asked.

“So, you only have one choice now and that is to listen to me obediently.” She did all this for him.

The light from the flames jumped around between them. A warm wind blew at them and lifted their clothes.

Ye Mochen sneered. “Why do you think I should listen to you?”

Ning Furong took out an item from her waist. The jade hairpin fell slowly and landed on the floor with a crisp sound. It broke into two.
