Chapter 212 - 211 Cold Palace Abandoned Concubine (9) Third Watch of the Night
The ministers from the vassal state were completely dumbfounded. What was the Emperor talking about?
Yuwen Jing paid them no mind.
Following behind Yuwen Jing, Qu Huashang also furrowed her brows and looked towards Ye Shaohua, then sighed, "Sister Ye, why do you have to... What’s the point of all this?"
She seemed to find Ye Shaohua’s actions intolerable and shook her head in pity for the world.
As the Royal Guard apprehended Ye Shaohua, several figures clad in black unexpectedly appeared in the heavily guarded Imperial Palace.
"Protect His Majesty, protect His Majesty!" The men in black appeared to be there to rescue Ye Shaohua, but when their leader’s dart failed to hit her, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.
After hesitating for a split second, he instead turned his attack towards Yuwen Jing.
The dart, silent as a whisper, struck Yuwen Jing’s right shoulder. He was prepared to endure it, but Ye Shaohua reached out and caught the dart for him.
Yuwen Jing saw the blood on her hands.
Of the assailants in black, three were left behind, and one fled.
