Chapter 1184: Returning to the Palace
Translator: Lonelytree
“Kill without mercy!’
When Jiang Zhennan and Wu Ming encountered the eighth assassination attempt, Jiang Zhennan and Wu Ming did not plan to leave anyone alive at all.
Because it would be useless to ask.
They were just minions who followed the orders of the higher-ups.
These people were either kill-or-die warriors.
Therefore, they would commit suicide after failing their mission and being caught!
In the end, Yuwen Longyan gave the order,” Kill without mercy!’
“Master, mission failed!”
“Master, the assassination failed!” Pavilion Master, mission failed!”
“Supreme One, the assassination failed!”
All the dark forces in the world reported to their masters one by oneo
“Bang!’
The sound of a table being split open by internal strength and then shattering.
“What happened? There were only a few people around the old Emperor, so how could you fail the mission?” An extremely angry and furious voice rang out from a small courtyard in the capital.
“Replying to Master, this subordinate has not investigated the situation. However, every time his subordinates rushed to the assassination site, they would only see corpses on the ground!” the subordinate reported.
Since the Empress had already exposed the old Emperor’s whereabouts, then there were only a few routes the Emperor could take to return to the Palace.
Therefore, as long as they laid an ambush at the place they needed to pass by, they would assassinate them!
However, they did not expect the old Emperor to be so powerful with his guards even though he had left the palace on his own.
But even so, the people on their side were not weak. How could they fail again and again?
The man sitting on the chair kept swinging the jade ring on his left hand. His face was blurry in the darkness, and no expression could be seen. Only his eyes were emitting a sharp wolf-like light in the darlmess.
A moment later, he said, “Retreat everyone!” The assassination attempt had failed five times, so there was no need to continue the assassination.
The subordinate was slightly stunned.” Master, this…” This was a rare opportunity to assassinate. If he missed it, who knew how long he would have to wait until the next opportunity?
“Follow my order!” A light snort represented a dignity that did not allow for any protest!
“Yes, Master!” The subordinate immediately realized his mistake.
“Since the old emperor is returning to the palace, then I should also return to the palace to prepare!” the man said.
“Yes, Master!”
The same scene happened in another small courtyard in the capital.
i ‘ What did you say? The assassination failed?” Zhou Dehong said angrily.
“Yes, my lord!”
“How did it fail?” Zhou Dehong couldn’t believe the truth.” That person clearly sneaked out of the palace. The guards protecting him shouldn’t be so powerful! Even if Empress Chen had completely exposed the old Emperor’s whereabouts and sent a large number of guards to receive him, he couldn’t be unscathed, right?
What was going on? Zhou Dehong was very suspicious, but then he felt uneasy.
His Majesty had escaped the assassination attempt. After returning to the palace, he would definitely investigate!
“His Majesty has returned to the palace!”
This news spread like the wind to every corner of the Imperial Palace!
After returning to the palace, Wu Ming immediately became the number one hidden guard in the dark, while Jiang Zhennan and the other guards directly protected the Emperor!
Once they returned to the palace, the Emperor went to see Empress Chen. He held her hand and said, “Empress, you’ve worked hard!”
After the news that he had secretly left the palace was leaked, there would definitely be all kinds of commotion in the harem. Fortunately, the Empress’s methods were swift and fierce. The moment she made a move, she deterred the harem, causing those who were restless to receive a severe warning.
Don’t think that you can ascend to heaven just because the Emperor is not in the palace!
The Emperor was not in the palace, but the Empress was!
On the other hand, Prime Minister Chen and the others also tried their best to maintain the peace of the Imperial Court, preventing those with ambitions from taking advantage of this opportunity to make a move.
Empress Chen said coldly to the Emperor,” It’s good that Your Majesty has returned safely!”
When the Emperor saw the Empress’ cold expression, he immediately felt a little helpless. However, he said,” Mm, no matter what, I still have to thank the
Empress!”
Empress Chen said coldly,” Your Majesty, it’s my duty to share your worries!”
The Emperor sighed lightly and did not continue on this topic.
He pointed at Jiang Zhennan, who was not wearing a mask, and asked,”
Empress, do you know who he is?”
Empress Chen raised her eyebrows and looked coldly at Jiang Zhennan. She felt a sense of familiarity, but it was very unfamiliar. She was slightly puzzled and shook her head.” Your Majesty, I don’t know!”
” Haha, I will know that the Empress can’t guess it.” The Emperor laughed.
“Come, Minister Jiang, tell the Empress who you are.”
Hearing the Emperor’s words, Jiang Zhennan immediately wanted to imitate Lin Yuelan and roll his eyes.
You’ve already called out Minister Jiang, so who wouldn’t know who he is?
Jiang Zhennan took two steps forward and half-bowed to Empress Chen. His handsome face was cold as he said, ‘Your humble subject Jiang Zhennan pays his respects to the Empress!”
His Majesty wanted him to introduce himself, so he naturally had to report his name.
When Empress Chen heard the Emperor call Minister Jiang, she had already made a rough guess.
But in fact, Empress Chen was still very surprised when Jiang Zhennan introduced himself.
Empress Chen was slightly surprised.” You… You… Are you General Jiang
Zhennan?
“Yes, I am!” Jiang Zhennan replied coldly.
“How… How could that be?” Empress Chen was still surprised by Jiang Zhennan’s handsome appearance.
According to the rumors, Jiang Zhennan had been disfigured by the enemy on the battlefield and was extremely ugly. Therefore, he had to wear a mask to prevent scaring the children and women.
However, Jiang Zhennan’s current appearance did not show any signs of disfigurement.
Empress Chen muttered to herself. His face was clearly handsome and bright, but it was rumored to be the kind of fiendish spirit that scared children to tears and madwomen to madness!
Jiang Zhennan knew Empress Chen’s doubts and answered truthfully,” Replying to Your Majesty, I was disfigured in the past. My face was so ugly that it scared children to tears and frightened countless women.”
Empress Chen said in surprise, “This…”
“It’s just that a year ago, I met a divine doctor. She cured my wounds! “Jiang Zhennan continued.
“Divine doctor?” Empress Chen asked curiously,” Could it be Divine Doctor Wu
Yazi?”
Jiang Zhennan shook his head.” No. She is Wu Yazi’s disciple!’
“The disciple of the divine doctor?” Empress Chen was shocked again.” When did Wu Yazi take in a disciple?”
Jiang Zhennan said, “No. It was Divine Doctor Wu Yazi’s master, Medicine
King, who took in a disciple on his behalf!”
The Emperor finally reacted and asked in surprise, “Minister Jiang, could it be that Doctor Zhang is the Valley Master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, Zhang Zhongjing?
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Jiang Zhennan replied.
“Your Majesty, have you met the Valley Master of the Medicine Masters? Empress Chen asked curiously.
The Emperor nodded and said with a smile,” I happened to meet Valley Lord Zhang when I left the palace this time. But if I hadn’t heard Minister Jiang mention it, I really wouldn’t have known that he was the Valley Master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters!”
Taoyuan Village was truly a land of outstanding talents.. A random doctor they had taken in was actually the famous Valley Master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters!
