Chapter 52

Old Madam Gu patted her hand reassuringly.

Concubine Chun and Concubine Xian are the closest to the little eunuch. Concubine Xian is alright, because her father is a military commander, it's not like she hasn't seen more tragic scenes than this in her early years, so she just turned pale.

Concubine Chun can't do it anymore, she has always been spoiled and raised in the deep pavilion, this is the first time she encountered such a situation, she was so frightened that she slipped out of the chair.

"Your Majesty!" Xiangxiu exclaimed, holding back her fear and hastily helped her up.

The little eunuch who killed someone didn't dare to stay for long, he knew that running for his life was the most important thing, no matter what happened today, he couldn't escape death, so he tightly gripped the dagger in his hand, and ran out from the side door in a panic.

Everyone in the hall has also left their seats and ran out.

Miao and Yan led Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinse towards Old Madam Gu.

Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinse's faces turned pale, a little flustered, and they tried their best to hold back the panic in their hearts.

Miao's face did not hide her panic, "Mother, what should I do, let's go too."

As he spoke, he was about to step forward to help.

Although Yan Shi didn't speak, he also advocated leaving first. After all, no one knew if the little eunuch had any accomplices.

"Calm down!" Old Madam Gu said seriously, "I don't know what's going on outside now, it's even more dangerous to go out hastily. Thinking about the empress going out just now, it should be because of something happened earlier."

"Then Mr. Miao will be all right?" Mrs. Miao said anxiously.

"The emperor is still over there, and they have someone to protect them." Mrs. Gu looked at the panicked crowd, frowned, and looked around, "There is a side door over there, go there. Escape over there."

Mrs. Gu is now their backbone, and the group slowly moved towards the north side door.

Except for a few people in the hall who did not move, most of them were busy running for their lives.

As soon as Mrs. Wang led her daughter out of the palace gate, she saw the guards rushing over to reinforce her, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "You guys count... ah—"

Before Madam Wang could finish her words, she was stabbed to death by the leading guard.

Mrs. Wang's daughter was so frightened by this sudden change that she fell to the ground, her complexion turned pale and tears streaming down her face, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Seeing this scene, the other people couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and hurriedly backed away.

The leading guard had a long scar on his face. He was tall and rugged, holding a knife in his hand, with blood dripping from the tip of the knife. Behind him were a dozen people dressed as guards.

He stepped over the threshold, took a few steps to the high platform, and immediately sat down on the phoenix chair.

Concubine Xian tried her best to hold back her trembling and sat in her seat. Concubine Chun was already so frightened that she fainted from the scene. Xiangxiu supported Concubine Chun, not daring to make any sound.

The noisy scene just now suddenly became quiet, and there was no sound in the hall.

The head of the guards threw the blood-stained knife on the table casually, and said "Peng--", "Ladies and gentlemen, madam, miss, there is a small change in the palace, and I am here to protect everyone." , I hope everyone is doing well and cooperating! Do you understand?"

The man's voice was rough, and his tone was full of threats. Everyone knew that what the man said was false, but they dared not refute it. After all, Mrs. Wang's fate lay there.

"Did you hear that!" The man was dissatisfied that no one responded.

"Listen, I heard."

"I heard."

There were sparse responses from the hall, and the man was satisfied at this point, and nodded with a smile, "That's great, just wait."

He didn't say what to wait for, but Lu Yao can probably guess that when all the dust settles, they will win or lose.
