Chapter 547 - 547: Leaving the Palace
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Empress Liu, who was weak in the middle of the night, had just passed her abdominal pain and was struggling on her deathbed. She hadn’t eaten or drunk much today, so it wasn’t as painful as yesterday. It seemed that Ji Hong wanted to kill her.
“Clang. Squeak…”
Suddenly, the door was quietly opened, making Empress Liu’s weak heart beat rapidly.
Could it be that Ji Hong finally couldn’t sit still and sent someone to kill her?
What should she do? Now that she was calling out to no one, no one would come to care about her. Could it be that she could only wait for death?!
Empress Liu got out of bed and prepared to hide. However, there was no furniture in the Cold Palace. There was only a broken box at the end of the bed and a broken table and chair. There was nothing else. In the end, she had no choice but to hide under the bed.
To think that she, the Empress, was actually forced to do this. When she turned the tables in the future, she would definitely make these people wish they were dead.
The moon was very bright tonight. Some scenes in the house could still be seen vaguely. If someone came over, they would definitely be able to see it.
However, she waited under the bed for a long time, but no one came over. She waited for a while and was about to fall asleep, but no one came in. She wanted to climb out to take a look, but just as she was about to climb out, a head with disheveled hair suddenly stood upside down from the side of the bed.
“Ah-Dong! ”
It was unknown if Empress Liu was frightened or if she had knocked her head on the bed and fainted.
“Damn, you can’t take a scare. However, you should be able to complete your mission now.”
To think that he, a dignified secret guard, actually came up with such a despicable idea in order to avenge the Emperor. Was it easy for him?
MO Yu reached out to check for Empress Liu’s breathing. She had fainted, but she was still breathing. She then went out and locked the door again, allowing Empress Liu to faint under the bed.
MO Yu returned to his residence as fast as he could and immediately went to sleep. He still had a few more days to go. He had to rest up during the day so that he could fight against the snake and scorpion at night.
“Mother, I heard those palace maids and sisters chatting. They said that the
Cold Palace is haunted.”
“What are ghosts like?”
Tang Tang had been very well-behaved these past two days. She had stayed in the room and chatted with MO Ruyue.
The siblings were afraid that MO Ruyue would be bored in the room, so they agreed to go out in shifts to listen to the gossips of the palace maids before coming back to tell MO Ruyue. Tang Tang heard the palace maids say that the Cold Palace was haunted.
MO Ruyue was speechless.
“Who did you hear that from? They’re all talking nonsense.”
In fact, MO Ruyue did not know if ghosts existed. If there were no ghosts, what happened to her was quite consistent. But if there were ghosts, she had not seen anyone else except herself. She did not know how to explain it to her child.
“Si Bao has strange powers and chaotic gods.”
Si Bao wanted to use what he had learned to teach his sister not to listen to the nonsense of the palace maids. It was simply nonsense.
However, Tang Tang covered her mouth as soon as she started.
“I beg you, Brother. I won’t say anything, and neither will you.”
MO Ruyue watched as the two little clowns played around in front of her. She thought that it was time for them to leave the palace. Her poison had already been cured, and that small injury was not worth mentioning to her. She had suffered much more serious injuries in the past, and she still had to carry out her mission.
She also wanted to go home as soon as possible. If she did not go home soon, Gu Ying would definitely be very anxious. There was also a greenhouse in the village. There should be quite a number of vegetables in the greenhouse that could be taken out of the greenhouse, such as garlic. If she did not go back, they would definitely not know what level of vegetables in the greenhouse could be eaten.”
At this moment, Qiu Shi came in from outside.
“Princess, First Master has come to the capital.”
MO Ruyue nodded and suddenly came back to her senses. Wasn’t the Eldest Master Qiu Shi was talking about Gu Ying?
In the family, only Gu Ying and the others were called ‘Old Master’.
“What is he doing here?”
MO Ruyue said as she sat up and prepared to get off the bed. “Chun Hua, come over and comb my hair.”
If Gu Ying really came, then she really had to hurry out.
When Ji Hong heard about the palace being haunted, he called MO Yu over.
“Did you cause that ghost?”
Ji Hong didn’t even raise his head as he continued to approve the memorial in his hand.
MO Yu knew that the Emperor was asking him a question, so he quickly answered honestly.
“Replying to the Emperor, it was this servant who did it.”
“Didn’t the Emperor ask this servant to avenge Princess Ming Yue?” Ji Hong almost laughed out of anger at MO Yu. “You can vent your anger like
“Of course, Emperor. You don’t know, but the first time, she was so frightened by this servant that she fainted.”
“The second time, she was so scared that she didn’t eat or drink much water. If this continues, we’ll be able to achieve our small goal.”
Their small goal for Empress Liu was to make her fall ill in the Cold Palace and then die of illness.
This way, even if the Liu family knew that they were the ones who did it, they would not be able to find a clear reason. Even if they were angry, they would be furious.
“So this is a good idea.”
Ji Hong was still reading the memorials on the table, multitasking.
“Hehe, I dare not.”
Ji Hong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard MO Yu being humble.
Forget it, this was pretty good.
“Emperor, Princess Ming Yue is leaving the palace.”
A young eunuch ran in to report to the Emperor. The young eunuch lowered his head and did not dare to look at MO Yu.
He dared to run in at this time because the Emperor had ordered that as long as there was anything related to Princess Ming Yue, he must report it immediately.
Hearing this, Ji Hong finally put down the pen in his hand. He hurriedly stood up, got off the dragon throne, and walked out of the hall. At the same time, he asked the young eunuch who came to report.
“Did Ming Yue say why she wanted to leave the Palace?” “Princess Ming Yue didn’t say so this servant doesn’t know.”
The little eunuch had to jog to keep up with Ji Hong’s pace.
At the same time, Empress Dowager and Imperial Concubine Li also received the same report. The three of them rushed in the same direction.
The three of them arrived at MO Ruyue’s bedroom at the same time.
“Sister, you haven’t recovered yet.”
Imperial Concubine Li was very concerned about MO Ruyue’s injury. After all, MO Ruyue had saved her and Lin ‘Er. If Lin ‘Er was not still young and could not leave her, she would have stayed with MO Ruyue for the entire day.
“That’s right, Ming Yue, stay for a few more days.”
The Empress Dowager also asked her to stay.
“Mother, I’ve already recovered. There’s only a little scar, it’s not a problem.”
“Can that be called a little scar?”
When Empress Dowager thought of the wound on MO Ruyue’s shoulder, she felt pain in her own shoulder.
“It’s really fine. I’m much better. I don’t even feel pain anymore.”
MO Ruyue was not lying.
Back then, MO Ruyue had kicked her when the maidservant’s dagger had stabbed her, so the dagger had only grazed her skin and did not hurt her bones.
The wound had already scabbed over. As long as it scabbed over, it would heal quickly.
Ji Hong did not say anything. He did not ask why MO Ruyue suddenly left the palace. In fact, he did not need to ask to know that he had already received the news that Gu Ying had entered the capital. It must be because of him. He did not want to ask, in case he felt stifled.
At this moment, he suddenly knew how the parents who raised their daughters felt when they married off their daughters.
Seeing that MO Ruyue really wanted to go, the three of them did not stop her. They asked the palace maids to serve her well and gave her a lot of tonics and other things. Two of them followed her to the princess’ manor..
