Ah!" As she ran, the empress's body fell to the side.
Rong Jiu hurriedly supported her, "Are you alright?"
The empress looked pale. "I sprained my foot."
RongJiu looked at the imperial guards who were chasing after them and helped the empress walk behind the flower beds. "Can I trust you?" She gazed at Qiu Zhui, her eyes somewhat terrifying.
The autumn harvest flinched.
Rong Jiu said, "If it wasn't for Imperial Concubine Ning treating you like this, you would already be a dead person. Would you want to atone for your deeds? "Protect the empress, I'll beg the empress to spare your life, let bygones be bygones."
Qiu Ye nodded his head heavily. "I am willing!" It was already an extravagant hope that he would be able to survive.
"Alright then." Seeing that they were getting closer, Rong Jiu put the empress's thick cloak over his body and said to the empress who was hesitating to speak, "Think of it as you accidentally sprained your foot when you were out walking, and Autumn Harvest is the palace maid you brought out."
The empress looked at Rong Jiu with both concern and gratitude. "You must be careful. I'll do whatever I want."
Rong Jiu nodded, and as the imperial guards approached, she dashed into another path.
"There! "Chase after him!"
The imperial guards gave chase to Rong Jiu, while the empress and Qiuzhen pounded their chests as they listened to the sound of footsteps in the distance.
Only after seeing the imperial guards walk far away did Autumn Harvest carefully lift the empress up, lowering his head.
"Esteemed Empress, let's go."
The empress looked at her with a complicated expression before finally calming down. She then turned to look at the direction that Rong Jiu had left in, "Let's go."
Rongjiu kung fu was not low, but there were too many people from the imperial guards. There weren't many of them at first, but they met with teammates who were patrolling the same area. This time, several teams were chasing after Rongjiu.
No matter where he went, there would always be people blocking him. Rong Jiu clenched his teeth and covered his face, planning to go all out.
Was she still afraid of being besieged? In any case, he had already died so many times.
It was a pity that they hadn't settled the matter with the guild yet, and they still hadn't gotten their revenge.
The imperial guards all surrounded him, while Rong Jiu was in battle mode, "Insolent traitor, quickly surrender!"
"Heh." Rong Jiu smiled coldly, "Let's talk after you take me down!"
She attacked the nearest person, snatching away the weapons of the imperial guards to fight with them. As the blades and shadows flashed, there were also many black clothed men running from who knew where.
"There's actually an accomplice, everyone be careful!" Commander Sang of the imperial guards shouted.
The man in black from Rong Jiu and the one from before had his back pressed against his back as he dealt with the tricky imperial guards. "Who are you people? Why are you helping me?"
"Miss, don't worry about it. Leave quickly."
Rong Jiu had some doubts in his eyes, "Can you guys?"
"Hurry up and leave!"
If he still didn't leave, then it would be bad if all of the imperial guards came.
Rong Jiu clenched his teeth and said, "Thank you."
When she flew away, Commander Sang saw that she was hastily throwing a blade at Rong Jiu.
The sound of the blade slicing through the air caused Rao Jiu to dodge. His leg was still injured, so he dropped her to the ground. He wanted to place the golden needle, but he was afraid of being recognized.
She used her long hand to stop the nearby imperial guards from throwing knives at Commander Sang, conveniently knocking down a few of them before successfully escaping.
Rong Jiu's leg was injured, so he didn't run fast. There was a lot of blood on the road.
When she was about to reach the orphanage, she realized that it wouldn't be good if someone followed her and saw her.
After entering the orphanage, she smashed everything in the room into pieces as she shouted, "Help! Help!"
The imperial guards elsewhere had long heard the movements of the Fragrance Pavilion, and had followed the trail of blood to the orphanage. But before they could investigate, they heard a cry for help from inside.
The imperial guards didn't have time to think about this. They hastily rushed into the courtyard and crashed into the rooms.
The other rooms were normal, except for Rong Jiu's messy room with a lot of blood.
There was no one inside, so it was obvious that the Thief had been here before.
A sound came from the small bamboo forest behind the orphanage. "Chase!" The imperial guards continued their pursuit.
That night, the Imperial Palace was particularly rowdy. No one had a good night's sleep, and even the Emperor was roused from his stupor.
The empress was injured while walking outside, and a thief had entered Fragrance Pavilion, causing the little imperial grandson's mother to vanish into thin air.
At daybreak, Qi Su entered the palace, inquiring about what had happened.
The imperial guards participated in the entire process. They had only heard that a thief had entered Fragrant Pavilion and stolen many things. They had almost caught him, but when they heard that someone was calling for help in the orphanage, he had already disappeared.
Imperial Concubine Ning's sobs seemed to frighten her, as she sobbed for her mother. The empress sat quietly in the palace recuperating from her injuries, the emperor was in a rage, the atmosphere in the east side was so terrifying that no one within ten meters dared to approach her.
"Find him! We have to find him!" The Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne, his whole body filled with the rage that could not be ignored.
Dongfang Qisu sat up from his seat. His powerful aura made people not dare to look at him directly.
His cold and low voice sounded out, "Your son will go find Little Jiu."
With just a single sentence, he left without even allowing the emperor's approval.
The emperor clenched his fists so tightly that no one in the Audience Hall dared to breathe.
"Your majesty, Imperial Concubine Ning is asking you to come. She says she's afraid." Someone from the Fragrant Pavilion came to report.
"How's it going with the empress?" the emperor asked his father-in-law.
"To reply your majesty, the empress seemed to have suffered a shock last night as well. She called the imperial physician over this morning and drank the medicine before falling asleep."
The emperor nodded. "Then what about Cheng Run?"
"The young royal grandson heard that Miss Rong had disappeared, and kept crying for his mother."
"To the orphanage."
The emperor rose to his feet and said, "My royal grandson is still in the Fragrant Pavilion."
The emperor frowned. "Set up Fragrant Pavilion."
Elder Li quickly walked out of the hall. "The emperor has set up a Fragrant Pavilion."
The eunuchs quickly prepared a dragon chariot.
When Imperial Concubine Ning heard that the Emperor had arrived, she quickly ordered people to bring the group over.
His eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he hugged him to his chest with heartache. "My cute little ball, ah, crying like this really hurts my heart to death."
"Empress, where did my mother go? Did the bad guys take her away? " As she sobbed, she raised her head to look at Imperial Concubine Ning. Her sobbing tone also caused people's hearts to feel uncomfortable.
"Don't be sad, the imperial guards have already gone to look for him. They will soon find him, don't be sad." Imperial Concubine Ning gently patted his back before she hugged him.
Smashing into Imperial Concubine Ning's arms, she rolled her eyes. This woman's scent wasn't as pleasing to the nose as her mother's.
"The emperor has arrived!"
A sharp sound rang out as Imperial Concubine Ning hurriedly led the group to meet them.
"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Imperial Majesty."
The palace eunuch and palace maid from the Fragrance Pavilion knelt down in salute. "Greetings, your majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live and long live the Emperor."
He rubbed his swollen eyes and lifted his small, tear-stained face. "Royal Grandfather."
