Chapter 879: Arrogance, brainless woman
The Empress's men and the palace guards outside the Hanfang Hall refused to give in to each other. The Empress's men insisted on entering the Hanfang Hall to arrest the so-called assassin. The guards denied the existence of the killers, but… …
Their words were not as important as the words of Imperial Concubine Zhou!
Imperial Concubine Zhou insisted that the assassin who stabbed her ran into the Hanfang Palace, and sang with the Empress's people as if she would never stop unless she rushed into the Hanfang Palace.
"What should I do?" The guards guarding outside Hanfang Hall looked uneasy, hesitating whether to do it or not.
It was just that the opponent's number was more than theirs, so if they want to do something, they may not be able to please.
It was not a question of whether you can fight or not, but if they want to fight, it will attract the patrolling guards, and then it will be bad.
"Procrastinate, as long as they don't let them break into Hanfang Palace." The people who can be arranged to guard Hanfang Palace were Prince Xiao's confidantes. Even if they don't know what is in Hanfang Palace, they know that they must not let people break in.
The guard who stood at the front confronted Imperial Concubine Zhou and the others nodded, and with full confidence, he put his knife across his face and said loudly: "There are no assassins in the Hanfang Palace, and the regent is in the Hanfang Palace, who of you dares to take a step forward? "
The movement in Hanfang Hall was so big that it was impossible to hide it from the people in the harem. Instead of letting Imperial Concubine Zhou use the "Assassin" incident as a cover to break in, it was better to expose Prince Xiao directly.
"The Regent? Why is he in the Hanfang Hall?" The Empress's people were not surprised to hear this, they had originally come for Xiao Tianyao, and asking questions at this time was just a pretense.
"You dare to ask about Xiao Wangye's affairs, you are so courageous!" After moving out of Xiao Tianyao, the guard was relieved.
Everyone in the palace and outside the palace knows how cruel their prince is. Didn’t Imperial Concubine Zhou wince in fright when she heard Prince Xiao’s name?
Although she was afraid, Imperial Concubine Zhou did not flinch, and said with full momentum: "We dare not ask about the Xiao Wangye's affairs, but this is the harem! What is Xiao Wangye doing in the harem?"
The Empress's person was useless, and she was still the one to come out in the end!
"This is Xiao Wangye's business. The imperial concubine should ask fewer questions. The imperial concubine was accidentally injured by a sharp weapon. You should quickly ask the imperial physician for treatment." The guard pointed at Imperial Concubine Zhou's arm indifferently, his tone was cold, with faint threatening meaning.
They have already injured Imperial Concubine Zhou, even if they dare not kill her, it was not a big deal to make her hurt a little bit.
"Bold! There is nothing in the harem that I can't control! The regent broke into the harem privately, could it be that he not only wants to control the court!" Imperial Concubine Zhou thought for a while but still did not dare to accuse Prince Xiao of fornicating in the harem.
The guard did not answer Imperial Concubine Zhou's words directly, but said politely: "Imperial Concubine, your wound is bleeding all the time, don't you need to call a doctor?"
"Don't bother talking about it. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will have to investigate and see what the regent is doing hiding in Hanfang Palace?" The injury on Imperial Concubine Zhou's arm was not serious. It doesn't even need to bandage in ordinary people's homes. Once the bleeding stops, she'll be fine.
"Come on, rush in!" Imperial Concubine Zhou took a step back and waved to the Empress's men.
She needed to use the Empress's staff to do things so that the Empress will not be able to get rid of it when the time comes. Offending Prince Xiao, of course, she couldn't be the only one to do it.
The Empress's men were stunned, but then they all said in unison: "Yes!" It was the order from Imperial Concubine Zhou, if something happened, it will be Imperial Concubine Zhou who would take the blame, so they don't have to worry about implicating the Empress.
The people on both sides have their thoughts and schemes, but at this moment, there was a tacit understanding that should be dead. As soon as Imperial Concubine Zhou gave an order, the Empress's men drew their swords and stepped forward.
The guards understood at a glance that today's fierce battle was inevitable, and the opponent would rather offend Prince Xiao than break into Hanfang Hall.
*Shua…* The guards didn't back down anymore, they drew their swords and prepared to fight, but at this moment, a majestic voice sounded from behind: "Bold!"
"Wangye!" The guard turned his head to look, with joy on his face.
Contrary to them, Imperial Concubine Zhou and the Empress's people all had their faces frozen, especially the Empress's people. They were all holding up their knives and were about to charge forward.
They couldn't understand why Prince Xiao came out. Didn't Prince Xiao have important things to do in Hanfang Hall?
"Prince Regent." Imperial Concubine Zhou reacted very quickly and greeted Xiao Tianyao first. Seeing this, the people beside her knelt and saluted one after another: "The lowly one (slaves) greets the prince regent, may you live a thousand years old."
Xiao Tianyao stood tall at the bottom of the steps, looking down at everyone, without any intention of shouting. The Empress's people and Imperial Concubine Zhou's people knelt on the ground together. They hadn't heard Prince Xiao calling for a long time, and they felt uneasy and angry.
Of course, Prince Xiao ignored their intentions.
"Why is the imperial concubine here?" Xiao Tianyao ignored all the kneeling people and asked Imperial Concubine Zhou coldly.
He also thought that someone should have come to intervene a long time ago when he made such a big commotion in Hanfang Hall, but it turned out that two hours passed before Imperial Concubine Zhou brought someone over.
The people in the palace were indeed becoming more and more timid and useless.
"Wangye, an assassin injured my palace and fled to Hanfang Hall. Please allow the people behind me to go in and check." Imperial Concubine Zhou insisted that her injury was caused by an assassin.
This time the guards outside Hanfang Hall did not say a word, nor did they admit that they were the ones who hurt Imperial Concubine Zhou as before.
Imperial Concubine Zhou said that her injury was stabbed by an assassin, how stupid were they to throw themselves into the trap?
"Assassin?" Xiao Tianyao cast a playful glance at Imperial Concubine Zhou, then his eyes fell on the guard, and asked, "Did you see the assassin?"
"Answering back wangye, I have been guarding the outside all the time, and I haven't seen any assassins." The guards answered every question and didn't say a word of extra words.
"Imperial Concubine, you heard it… Benwang's people didn't see the assassin, so you better take your people to look for it elsewhere." Xiao Tianyao gave Imperial Concubine Zhou a chance. As long as Imperial Concubine Zhou walked down the steps, today's matter would be ignored, but… …
Will Imperial Concubine Zhou agree?
Certainly not!
She mustered up the courage to bring people to kill Hanfang Palace. If she gave up halfway, wouldn't everything she did before is a joke?
"Regent, I saw the assassin enter the Hanfang Palace with my own eyes. Your people are covering the assassin." She clenched her upper and lower teeth while saying whatever she wanted. Imperial Concubine Zhou didn't hesitate at all and splashed dirty water on Xiao Tianyao's guards. What's wrong with that?
"Is there evidence?" Xiao Tianyao looked at Imperial Concubine Zhou with disgust.
A brainless woman, no wonder the Empress pushed her out as a pathfinder, she was so stupid and hopeless.
He stands here in person, which means that no one can enter Hanfang Hall! Not to mention Imperial Concubine Zhou, even the Emperor can't bring people into Hanfang Hall.
This brainless woman, does she think she was more powerful than the Emperor? And can make him, Xiao Tianyao bow his head?
