The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1658

Chapter 1658: 801 second watch

He saw a man in a black robe descend from the sky and knock the king unconscious with one palm strike.

He was not the kind of person to flee when his master died, but rushing to his death knowing he wasn’t a match wasn’t loyalty, it was madness.

So he ran for his life!

Perhaps it was by the grace of heaven, as high-ranking martial artists on patrol nearby sensed the energy fluctuations and used their lightness skills to investigate the Cold Palace. They probably got entangled with the assailant, giving him the chance to escape.

He initially planned to return to the king’s Sleeping Palace to call for reinforcements, but was shocked to find all the guards there had been killed.

He boldly guessed that it was during the king’s visit to the Cold Palace to see Consort Han that someone had sneaked in to kill them.

Afterward, the killer went to the Cold Palace to report to Consort Han and knocked the king unconscious.

He had never had good luck in his life, yet tonight, he’d narrowly escaped death twice.

He knew the Imperial Palace was no longer safe and fled the palace in the dead of night.

He didn’t go to the National Master Hall because he feared that once Consort Han noticed his absence, she would guess he had gone to seek help from the National Master Hall, the Third Princess, and the Grand Duke.

He then remembered that Lord Xiao had moved to the Duke Residence, so he decided to try his luck there.

He fainted after saying this, leaving Steward Zheng baffled: "Hey, Eunuch Zhang, what exactly happened to His Majesty?"

Gu Jiao remained silent.

Could it be what she was thinking?

Steward Zheng asked Gu Jiao, "Young Master, what should we do with him?"

Gu Jiao checked his pulse and said, "He’s fine, just exhausted. First, carry him into the residence. I’ll go to the National Master Hall."

"Ah." The Grand Duke uttered, opening his mouth.

Gu Jiao turned to look at the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke wrote on the armrest: "It’s better if I go. You should proceed to the Military Camp as usual, as if you never saw Eunuch Zhang. If anything happens, I’ll have someone contact you."

Gu Jiao thought for a moment, "Alright."

Steward Zheng hurriedly instructed people to carry the unconscious Eunuch Zhang into the residence, repeatedly warning the guards: "No one is allowed to speak of today’s events!"

"Yes!" the guards responded in unison.

The Grand Duke made a trip to the National Master Hall and discreetly brought Xiao Hen onto his carriage.

It sounded like the king and Consort Han had a confrontation. freewebnovel-cσ๓
