Chapter 94 – Saving Your Life (1)
After Ye Mu finished speaking, she suddenly took a step back. And it was only after she left that the imperial guard was able to notice the hairpin in Consort Rou’s hand. He was surprised and hurried over to stop her! They were the emperor’s people, they naturally couldn’t allow Consort Rou to assassinate the emperor!
At first, Consort Rou was hesitant, but when she saw that the people around her wanted to snatch the hairpin away, she made up her mind in an instant. She turned around and viciously stabbed the pointy edge down the emperor’s shoulder!
The emperor screamed wretchedly as he fell to the side. And the sound of ‘Protect the emperor, protect the emperor’ entered his ears in his disoriented state. The moment his blood splattered, everything around him turned into chaos!
Imperial Consort Rou was surrounded. At this moment, her hands were covered in blood and she didn’t understand how the situation had developed to this point. She was obviously trying to use this opportunity to kill Ye Mu.
How could this be? How could this be…
The imperial physician was waiting in his assigned room nearby. Upon hearing the abrupt summon, he swiftly rushed over. When he arrived and saw the blood dripping from the emperor’s shoulder, he speedily made the emperor sit on a chair and bandaged his wounds on the spot.
Although Consort Rou had used a lot of her strength, she was still a woman who had not tempered her body, so her full strength did not cause a deep wound to the emperor.
Consort Rou was arrested on the spot for interrogation. Of course, Ye Mu had also been detained. And when the emperor was woken up from his demented stupor, he was extremely irritable.
As he got someone to hide the medicine, he shouted with bloodshot eyes, “Slut! How dare you try and assassinate me?! Someone, drag her away and throw her into the death prison!”
The moment she heard that she was going to be put to death, the originally dull Consort Rou immediately woke up. She looked towards the direction of the emperor in fear and knelt before him, begging for forgiveness, “Your Majesty! Your Majesty, your concubine is wrongly accused! Your servant has the dragon seed in her stomach—Your majesty, please think twice!”
Normally, when the emperor knew that Consort Rou had a child, he would be concerned. However, with his entire body currently in pain, he could only be filled with rage and hostility.
“Dragon seed? You even dared to make a move with me? Who knows who the child in your stomach belongs to! Just drag this wretch down!”
After he finished speaking, the guards wasted to time to drag Consort Rou away. At this moment, one of the imperial guards pointed at Ye Mu and the young girl crying beside her and he taciturnly asked, “Your Majesty, what about them?”
The emperor’s gaze swept over Ye Mu when he heard this. The bloodlust and greed climbed back into his eyes, causing his furious expression to lessen momentarily. “Lock them up for now. Not a single one of them are allowed to escape!”
“Yes sir!” The guard immediately complied.
When the imperial guards once again surrounded Ye Mu, she pulled her dislocated right hand close, while her free, left hand was clenched into a fist.
She was only six years old and inside the perilous Imperial Palace, so she definitely wouldn’t be able to escape. But she had been sent here by Ye Li.
At this time, who would come and save her?
Just when Ye Mu temporarily gave up on fighting and was waiting for the right opportunity to make her move, a servant hurriedly barged into the garden. He looked at the ground full of torn clothing and splattered blood, only then did he see Ye Mu in one flesh did he let out a long sigh and whispered into the emperor’s ear, “Your Majesty, the great general requests an audience!”
The emperor frowned. Ye Li? Why did he still want to see him? Didn’t he already say before that he wanted to give up his daughter? Was he going back on his word?
Just when the Emperor was about to say no, Ye Li had actually already forced his way in. He shouted just outside the garden and used his inner force to amplify his voice, “Your Majesty, your subject requests an audience!”
The emperor’s expression immediately turned ugly. Ye Li actually dared to forcefully break into his palace? This was absolutely outrageous!
Ye Mu was even more shocked. Didn’t Ye Li originally gave up on her?
