Chapter 1875: Chapter 1813: Failure
Seeing Wufu disheveled and lying on the ground like a broken doll, Ah Jiu was almost bursting with anger. With a swift step forward, he helped her up.
"Wufu, Wufu, wake up." Ah Jiu gently patted Wufu’s face, and upon touching it, it was scorching hot.
He had just come from outside, carrying a chill with him, and his hands were icy cold. When they touched her burning face, Wufu leaned into him like a parched person in the desert finding sweet rain, humming softly in comfort.
Ah Jiu’s body went rigid, his handsome face turned grim, and he immediately clasped Wufu’s hand, feeling for her pulse.
The pulse was fast and chaotic, and seeing her in this state, how could Ah Jiu not understand?
"Bastards!" he shouted angrily, daring to give her such dirty things.
Yet this was not the time to lose his temper and hold anyone accountable, he patted Wufu’s face again.
Wufu was in extreme agony, the fire inside her was about to explode, desperately needing something to fill it. She struggled to open her eyes, but everything was blurry, unable to see who it was. A thin thread of clarity tried to resist, but her body uncontrollably entangled itself.
"Get lost!" Wufu squeezed an angry roar through her teeth, followed by a faint moan, she couldn’t take it anymore.
"It’s me, Wufu, it’s me, Ah Jiu." Ah Jiu’s heart ached almost to death, and he picked her up.
Footsteps and voices approached, Ah Jiu’s face changed several times, and immediately he carried Wufu and leapt out of the window where that shadowy figure had come through.
Leaving the Warm Light Pavilion, Ah Jiu did not stop, holding Wufu tightly as he used Qinggong to swiftly make his way out of the palace.
Meanwhile, in another pavilion, Emperor Yan watched coldly as Ah Jiu carried someone away, his handsome face turning so cold it could drip water.
His gaze turned toward the Warm Pavilion, filled with shadows, their aura as chilling as the winter wind, growing colder and fiercer.
"Investigate!" Emperor Yan ordered coldly.
One link connecting to another, a game within a game, who had the audacity to plot against him?
If the news spread that the brother slept with his sister-in-law, what chaos would ensue? Let alone, that was Ah Jiu’s wife.
If this came to light, how could Ah Jiu and the Royal Mother ever find peace?
Understanding this crucial point, Emperor Yan’s aura became even more sinister, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, they dared to plot against him, well, very well!
In the Warm Pavilion, Empress Dowager Mo saw the disarray inside the room but no one was present, her eyes flickered.
"Bring me a cup of Longan Tea," Empress Dowager Mo acted as if she hadn’t noticed, sitting down calmly while giving Nanny Shui a look.
Nanny Shui understood and walked out.
Empress Dowager Mo then looked at Empress Song, saying, "You don’t need to stay here with me. The Imperial Banquet is not yet over, you should return to attend to it."
Empress Song snapped out of her shock, forced a smile and said, "Very well, I shall go, Royal Mother, please rest for a while."
Empress Dowager Mo propped her chin up, nodding slightly.
Empress Song unwillingly glanced around the hall, the hand hidden within her sleeve clenched into a fist.
How could it be, where is everyone!
She left, filled with doubt. Upon returning to the great hall of the Imperial Banquet, she whispered a few words to her trusted palace maid, then resumed her usual dignified demeanor watching the song and dance, yet her thoughts had long drifted elsewhere.
In the Warm Pavilion, upon hearing Nanny Shui’s report, Empress Dowager Mo stood up in shock: "What?"
Wufu was plotted against?
Empress Dowager Mo swayed, and Nanny Shui immediately supported her, saying, "Your Majesty, don’t worry, the Prince has already taken the Princess Consort back to the residence. Nothing major happened!"
Empress Dowager Mo closed her eyes briefly, tightly gripping Nanny Shui’s arm, and squeezed out her words in anger: "Investigate, investigate for me!"
She had to see what kind of demons and evil spirits were plotting against her child!
