The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 791

Chapter 791: 367 Acting Explosion (Update 2)

Gu Chengfeng clutching his shoulder, dropped to his knees, drained of strength.

Gu Jiao crouched down: "Can you still walk?"

With a pale face, Gu Chengfeng shook his head: "I can’t use my lightness skills anymore..."

The Dragon Shadow Guard was too terrifying. They simply grabbed him once, and he instantly lost all his strength.

"You should go," he said, bearing his weakness and severe pain.

The imperial decree was too essential. In the chaos, the Empress Dowager Jing only managed to get the decree. Once she obtained it, she would likely want to silence both of them.

Gu Jiao grabbed him: "Follow me!"

The Dragon Shadow Guard found the decree and gave it to Empress Dowager Jing.

Empress Dowager Jing took the decree, her face cold and stern.

"Empress Dowager!" Nurse Cai rushed over, glancing at the decree in her hand, her expression changed, "Someone tried to steal the decree? Who? How did they know about this decree?"

Empress Dowager Jing gazed in the direction of the palace wall without a word.

Renshou Palace.

Eunuch Qin was feeding his turtles when two figures fell from the sky, landing on his turtles. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

"Oh, my turtles!"

Eunuch Qin was startled, and the vegetable leaves in his hand flew out.

Just as he was about to call the palace’s skilled guards, he saw one of the figure removed their mask, his eyes widened: "Miss Gu?"

At this moment, Gu Chengfeng’s mask fell off as well, revealing a pale handsome face.

Eunuch Qin was startled again: "Second Young Master Gu?"

"The Emperor arrives——"

Gu Jiao: That was quick!

Empress Dowager Zhuang was not in the palace. She was in the side hall of Jinluan Hall discussing matters with the ministers. Eunuch Qin took Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng to Empress Dowager Zhuang’s sleeping palace.

Eunuch Qin did not let him pass. He leaned forward and said, "Emperor, the Empress Dowager is not in Renshou Palace. If the assassin really wants to kill her, he should go to Jinluan Hall."

Nurse Cai slightly frowned, and accused: "Perhaps the assassin is hiding here, waiting for the Empress Dowager to return! Eunuch Qin, you are preventing the Emperor from investigating. Could it be...you are in the same group as the assassin!"

"Who gives you the nerve to yell at my palace gate?"

With the sound of an infuriating voice, Empress Dowager Zhuang’s Feng Nian appeared behind everyone.

Everyone turned around to face Feng Nian, paying their respects to Empress Dowager Zhuang.

The Emperor looked up at the Feng Nian, his expression untouched.

When the Feng Nian stopped in front of them, Eunuch Qin stepped forward to give his wrist up to Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang slowly got off with Eunuch Qin’s help. She didn’t need to raise her voice nor scold anyone. Just her imperturbable gaze was enough to strike fear in everyone’s heart.

Nurse Cai, who just faced the Emperor, was suddenly too afraid to make a sound.

With a casual stroll, Empress Dowager Zhuang approached her: "Speak up. Why are you silent? When I was not here, you were quite talkative. How is it that you have become as silent as a tight-lipped calabash?"

Nurse Cai huddled down, cowardly, and moved closer to the Emperor.
