Chapter 50 Planning
"You wouldn’t dare." Xing Yu glared at Noble Consort Wen, and had she not been the mother of the Fourth Prince, Xing Yu probably would have already thrown a punch.
The guard on the floor gritted his teeth, and although there were some doubts about the situation, the appearance of Princess Chao Ren here was indeed suspicious. He stood up and walked over to Zheng Nianru’s side.
"Commandery Princess, this way, please." The guard spoke very politely, but no matter how polite he was, Zheng Nianru had no intention of going.
"What if I don’t go?" Zheng Nianru cocked her head, looking at the guard in front of her. There was no annoyance in her expression, even a hint of a young girl’s innocence. Ashamed, the guard lowered his head; facing such an innocent and beautiful girl, who would associate her with murder? Sitting there, she seemed out of place with everything around her.
"I’m afraid Commandery Princess doesn’t have much choice anymore, but please trust us." That was all the guard could say. Although they were men of the Fourth Prince, they were also Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace. They might not be highly regarded by Noble Consort Wen on a regular basis, but they represented the entire Zheng Imperial Family.
Therefore, if the Loyal Warriors of the Wen Family were the trusted aides of Noble Consort Wen, then they were the Loyalists of the Zheng Imperial Family.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Nianru looked at the guard with interest. His words left no room for compromise, but he remained respectfully in his place.
"What are you waiting for?" Noble Consort Wen spoke again. The guard’s bowed head showed hesitation, but now, within the Imperial Palace, power rested in the hands of Noble Consort Wen...
"Ouch——" Just then, a loud cry.
"Steward Ho, Steward Ho——" Several guards had gone to pull the suddenly awakened Ho Sheng, but with a sudden burst of great strength, he pushed several guards away, causing them to fall in a heap. More guards went to restrain Ho Sheng.
"Aaahhh——" Ho Sheng screamed frantically, and it took the strength of ten guards, equivalent to that of two formidable bulls, to subdue him. Gradually, Ho Sheng’s voice quieted down.
