When the court ladies and eunuchs saw this scene, they all acted as if they didn't know what I was doing and didn't care at all. Even the noble ladies who passed by quickened their pace.

Helpless, Shen Qiubai could only shout for help.

"Save me …" Help … Someone save me! "

The palace maid staggered over from the other side of the lake, her face frighteningly pale. "Oh no, Princess Jin! "Esteemed Empress, please go take a look …"

Princess Qin Xuan proudly clapped her hands, as if she were patting out dust that couldn't be seen anymore. "Come, let's go take a look."

"Is everything settled?"

The cool night breeze covered the courtyard with lush and luxuriant leaves, sprinkling all over the paper. As the pages rattled, a deep male voice echoed in the night.

A few dark figures flashed by, accompanied by a soft cat cry. The palace maid who was guarding the door didn't even have the time to turn around before her neck was smeared. She tightly held onto the blood gushing out from her neck as her eyes widened in shock.

The door was gently pushed open, and the drowsy jadeite noticed something amiss. She took a deep breath and smelled the scent of blood drifting in the air, then quietly tightened her grip on her arm hidden in her sleeve. She was quick, and her thin arms were lined with purplish crescent moons.

Imperial Concubine Jin was very ill. She would lose her spirit at night and would not wake up for much time. At this moment, she was sleeping soundly.

"Empress, Empress!" Jadechild lightly moved to the side of Imperial Concubine Jin and patted her exposed arm. Imperial Concubine Jin fell into a deep sleep without any reaction.

The assassin who had snuck in the door had already noticed Bi Yu's movements. His sword flashed with a cold light as he aimed it at Bi Yu's back. Under the glittering white light of the sword, Bi Yu grabbed a stool and threw it over.

Assassin: "…"

Tonight, his life was going to end.

Jadeite borrowed the hazy moonlight to rely on her understanding of the bedroom to anxiously throw everything she could grab at her hands. While the assassin was flustered, she took the opportunity to shake Imperial Concubine Jin.

"Miss, Empress!" "Wake up, quick …"

Perhaps it was because the jade had started to have an effect, that Imperial Concubine Jin frowned and coughed twice, "What is it, are you in a hurry?"

She no longer had the imposing aura from before, so her voice was barely audible.

Bi Yu's eyes turned red and she wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. "Empress, who knows where these assassins came from? "I will block the way, but you must pass through the secret room and leave this place as soon as possible!"

Before Jadeite could finish her sentence, a sharp sword flashed with a cold light and flew towards her. The tip of the sword was pointed at Imperial Concubine Jin. The jadeite flew forward with a mournful cry, the sword at its back suddenly lost its life.

The maidservant who had grown up together with her since childhood had just died in front of her eyes. Imperial Concubine Jin's face had turned pale with fright. Her body, which had been crushed by the pain from her illness, had exploded with a tremendous amount of strength in this moment of life and death.

The secret chamber was the final trump card that Minister Hu had specially saved for his daughter when he was in charge of building the palace. Currently, he had no choice but to expose his identity as the key to save his daughter.

The secret passageway connecting the secret rooms to the Light Palace was the safest place in the entire Imperial Palace.

Imperial Concubine Jin pressed the trigger under the pillow, dragging her heavily injured body like a stone tied to a leg as she stumbled deeper into the room. The indistinct fear of the dark room, coupled with the fear of losing the jade, filled the narrow tunnel. Imperial Concubine Jin tightened her outer robe, trying her best not to tremble.

She didn't dare to let the lights catch her, so she held her skirt as she ran. Finally, she saw the dim moonlight at the end of the road.

He had arrived, he had finally arrived! Imperial Concubine Jin's eyes suddenly lit up with hope. She pulled the rope hanging from the top of the well, and climbed up. Her delicate hands were stained with blood.

Imperial Concubine Jin had never had any hard work to do ever since she was young. She was already sick and weak, not to mention that she had never risked her life to climb the rope. Naturally, she had to expend a great deal of effort to escape.

Imperial Concubine Jin climbed up the dry well with much difficulty. Her luxurious and exquisite clothes went through a panic and became messy. Her face was smeared with dirt, and she no longer had the appearance of a Imperial Concubine.

She ran into the Hall of Light in fright, hoping to see Ye Feihan. She didn't expect to be stopped by a guard in front of the door.

"Empress, the emperor is discussing matters with Chen Wanyi. The imperial concubine ordered that no one else is allowed to enter." The guard held out his hand to stop him. Everyone knew that Imperial Concubine Jin was out of favour, so they didn't try to persuade her. Instead, they pushed her aside.

The noble and graceful Imperial Consort Jin turned into a crazy woman, which made people sigh.

Minister Hu was sent back to Grand Dominance by the emperor, and the capital fell into silence.

An idle person, hur, what kind of business has been reduced to idle person, etc. Imperial Concubine Jin forced a smile as she brushed her messy hair before kneeling on the cold stone floor in front of the hall.

The people of the palace had always been arrogant, and would not go in to announce their misfortune if they did not have money to bestow them.

When Imperial Consort Jin was in her prime, she was also a person with limitless glory. Who would have thought that she would end up like this?

Some palace maids did not understand, so they softly consoled, "Empress, it's best if you go back."

"Hurry up and report this to the emperor! Assassins have appeared in the Heavy Flower Hall, report this to the emperor!" Imperial Concubine Jin couldn't care less about her tears as she kneeled on the ground, unwilling to get up.

The guards were unmoved. They had used too many of those unfavoured concubines of the imperial harem. They really thought that two tears would make the emperor's heart soften.

Chen Wanyi had told her that Imperial Concubine Jin would do everything she could in order to invite and pamper the Emperor. As expected, the appearance of the assassins in the palace was just a private lie.

When Imperial Concubine Jin saw his men sneering at her coldly, she ignored her pride and insisted on kneeling on the stone steps to wait for Ye Feihan to come out. When Ye Feihan refused to see her, she forced him to come out.

"Sir, please inform me that I will wait here tonight for Feihan to come out!" Imperial Concubine Jin clutched at her chest, unable to catch her breath. Her purple lips struggled to finish speaking, but she couldn't stop.

The arrogant assassin did not dare to openly attack Glory Hall. Compared to the place where danger lurked at every corner, this place was much safer.

Startled and frightened, Imperial Concubine Jin listened to the laughter and the sound of the firecrackers from Hua Ting as sparkling tears rolled down her cheeks.

The laughter of the women in the Luminous Hall sounded very strange. Imperial Concubine Jin thought that they should be newbies that she would favor after she recuperated. Accompanied by bursts of laughter and the soft sounds of a cat, the pain in Imperial Concubine Jin's head became heavier and heavier. She felt that even if there were no assassins, they might not be able to last through the night. Why did they desperately run to the Hall of Radiance?

It was probably because of that unrealistic hope in his heart, but what could he do? Emotional and heartless...

"Your Majesty! Your majesty! "… …" said Ye Feihan. Imperial Concubine Jin unconsciously murmured as Ye Feihan slowly closed his eyes.

"Empress!" "Empress!"

Before she lost her wits, Imperial Concubine Jin smashed her forehead against the white jade stone steps. After a while, a purple and green mark appeared on her forehead. She weakly called out a few times and gradually lost all signs of life.

"Sire, let the emperor know. If the Empress really does have something important to blame, no one can bear it." The court lady whispered.

The guard let out a sigh. Forget it, she was, after all, the famous Imperial Concubine Jin. A skinny camel was bigger than a horse. If they really knelt down here, it would be bad for them in the future.
