Chapter 235 The Concubine Confesses

"No, there's an assassin!"

The patrolling guards instantly noticed Pei Mo's figure and were as frightened as a bird.

Pei Mo heard the guard's exclamation and kept moving his feet.

The guard struck the gong he was carrying, and the harsh sound alerted more people around him. Candles were lit in many palaces.

There were more and more people, and Pei Mo saw guards in yellow armor on the eaves who were about to form a circle around him.

Pei Mo thought for two seconds, then turned around and flew down the eaves. He stepped on a guard's head with his wonderful light skills, and used his strength to jump up to another eaves.

"presumptuous!"

the guard yelled.

Being too far away from the palace gate, Pei Mo simply went in the opposite direction and returned to the deep palace. He even tended to lead the guards to Concubine Rong's Palace of Rejuvenation.

"No, the assassin ran to the southwest, chase him quickly!"

Everyone present was sweating. After all, one was the general's wife who was pregnant with Liujia, and the other was the imperial concubine who was always favored.

The voice of the imperial guard came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, I saw the assassin sneaking into the palace with my own eyes, and I hope you will open the door. Please let me go in and find out what happened. Please open the door."

The imperial concubine gasped and thanked her sincerely.

The imperial concubine didn't even remember that there was something hanging on the robe she was wearing. She only knew that without Murong Qing she would be injured.

"Where is the empress? I am really scared. The empress has great blessings. I want to stay by my side."

"ah--"

Thinking that when Murong Qing stepped forward to approach the imperial concubine, he could get closer to the lacquer box.

The side hall was also investigated. Murong Qing's heart skipped a beat. The assassin couldn't be Pei Mo.

Because it was a June day, the imperial concubine was afraid of the heat, so she put on light pajamas early. The wound where she had bled the second prince was faintly visible.

At this moment, she had an idea and took advantage of the chaos to enter the imperial concubine's palace to take a look, maybe she could find something useful.

Murong Qing looked shocked and asked, "Have you found the assassin? Is there no danger for my poor concubine to live here?"

But Ginkgo shouted, "Your Majesty, I saw this woman stealing something from your Majesty's body and stuffing it into her sleeves, please come and search her!"

Murong Qing said, looking towards the main hall of the imperial concubine.

"Mother, it's not good, the assassin has sneaked into the Palace of Rejuvenation!" the maid said in panic.

So she pretended to yawn and asked the palace maid sleepily, "What's going on? Why did you wake up everyone when you were sleeping so well?"

Murong Qing held the imperial concubine's waist, quickly pulled off her waistband and stuffed it into her sleeves.

These slaves cannot bear responsibility for whoever gets hurt.

Pei Mo was so good at Qinggong that the guards could only rely on the moonlight to see the shadow imprinted on the wall when he flew from a distance to track his figure.

She knew that if it wasn't for Murong Qing, she would really have rolled down the steps. When the emperor asked, she might even have her injuries exposed.

When he heard that no one was found, Murong Qing's anxious heart returned to his stomach, "Okay then."

In fact, as long as Murong Qing knew about it, she didn't want to save the imperial concubine. She was sharp-eyed and discovered the waistband tied to the imperial concubine's belt.

"No, the assassin has entered the Palace of Rejuvenation! Protect Concubine Ronggui quickly!"

The guards filed in holding torches. Pei Mo, who was hiding in the gap, smiled. Seeing the moon disappearing in the thick clouds again, he used his skillful movement and light skills to leave towards the nearest exit.

Is this lacquer box more important than the concubine's life? The maid actually did not help the concubine, but hugged the box tightly. It seemed that the concubine personally ordered it, otherwise the maid would not be able to do such a thing.

This was the first time the palace maid had seen such a big movement, "I heard that an assassin had sneaked into the Palace of Rejuvenation. The guards were searching the palace for people. Fortunately, I heard that no one was injured."

The ginkgo next to the imperial concubine was startled. She was relieved to see the imperial concubine being supported, but she vaguely saw Murong Qing stuffing something into her sleeves.

Murong Qing helped the imperial concubine stand firm and asked with concern, "Did the imperial concubine not fall?"

The imperial concubine asked the palace maid to put on her robe. Because her movements were slower, the guards outside the door became more and more suspicious, and the knocks and urgings became more and more urgent.

The palace maid did not dare to offend Murong Qing, who was the general's wife, and felt that what she said was reasonable, so she could only nod her head, "Okay, the general's wife, please come with me."

At the critical moment, Murong Qing stepped forward to catch the imperial concubine without thinking.

As long as she has a waist card, it means that she can enter and leave the palace at will and will no longer be restricted.

Fortunately, she was able to catch the imperial concubine with a slight stance, otherwise she would have been knocked to the ground.

"lady!"

The palace maid said, "The assassin has not been found yet, but don't worry, the general's wife. The palace is heavily guarded and the wife will be protected."

"My dear, be careful!"

At the right time, the guard saw the figure falling on the roof of the main hall of the Hall of Rejuvenation, and then disappeared.

"Bold slave, I am determined to go to the emperor to file a complaint against you. You actually dare to despise me, a noble concubine of this palace. It is so difficult for me to harbor an assassin!"

Concubine Rong, wearing pajamas, asked with a horrified look on her face, "Why is this happening? Where did the assassin come from? Have you found it?"

What a guard, he broke into the door before her robe was fastened. If it had been any slower, her wounds would have been seen!

The more the imperial concubine thought about it, the angrier she became, and she vomited curse words faster and faster, because she had lost too much blood in the past few days, and before she could recover, her already weak foot sprained, and she was about to fall off the steps.

At this time, the three palaces in the southwest were brightly lit, and a large number of guards surrounded them.

There are three palaces in the southwest, including the Palace of Rejuvenation.

As soon as Murong Qing arrived at the main hall, he saw the imperial concubine wrapped in her outer robe and walking down the steps in a panic, cursing on her lips.

The maid behind the imperial concubine was holding the lacquer box that Murong Qing saw during the day!

How weird! Murong Qing thought.

"You useless guards! Why can't you even catch an assassin, and you still let people come to the Rejuvenation Hall of this palace? What a bunch of rubbish!"

"I'm fine, thanks to Madam's rescue."

Because of the fright, the imperial concubine's scolding was a bit broken, but it did not prevent her from swearing.

Murong Qing pretended to be innocent, her face full of anger and shock, but her hand was still supporting the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine glanced at Murong Qing gratefully and reprimanded loudly, "Shut up. When the assassin comes, Jin Yu will know how to wake me up. Where were you at that time? How dare you slander the general's wife for stealing. It's business every day."

If you don’t do it, you only care about money. I think you are crazy about money. I have nothing to take from you. Get out of here. You are a disgrace!"

Ginkgo didn't dare to quibble, but the dissatisfaction on her face was visible to the naked eye.

The imperial concubine was really angry. She used to think that Ginkgo was her dowry and was very tolerant of her, but this assassination incident made her feel cold towards Ginkgo.
