Chapter 146: Here He Comes

Translator: Sissy That Walk

“Liancheng, let’s head off to Palace of Earthly Tranquility.”

What Murong Yun just said was like a wake-up call for everyone in Red Joy Palace, chances were Luo Qianqian had gone to confront the empress.

“Qianqian, I can’t believe you did that!” the Imperial Noble Consort got so anxious, she knew Luo Qianqian was doing this for her daughter, she felt so sorry, she dreaded to think what would become of her son if anything shall happen to Luo Qianqian.

“Brother Eighth, shall we go to Palace of Heavenly Purity first?” replied Su Liancheng.

Palace of Heavenly Purity was where the emperor resided, Luo Qianqian went missing after the emperor left Red Joy Palace, so Su Liancheng suggested that.

“No need. You go to Palace of Earthly Tranquility for me, now!” Murong Yun shouted, he knew Luo Qianqian very well.

As for Murong Yun himself —

“Charge!” numerous assassins made their way into Red Joy Palace over walls and roofs, they darted in the room in an orderly way.

Murong Yun knew these assassins were here to kill him, Murong Xue and their mother, so he asked Su Liancheng to leave immediately.

Seeing that, “Brother Eighth, Zimo, watch out, I will find my sister-in-law!” Su Liancheng leaped on the roof and left.

The assassins soon surrounded Red Joy Palace so closely that it was impossible for anyone to break out.

Feng Qing stayed close to Murong Xue and Imperial Noble Consort to protect them, while Murong Yun and Lin Zimo led the guards to fight the assassins, soon the battle became a blood bath.

“Princess, Your Highness, please stay here.” Feng Qing asked Mammy Du to stay close to Murong Xue and Imperial Noble Consort and he darted out of the room to fight.

The Imperial Noble Consort turned pale, “Does the empress want to kill me and my kids in my own palace?”

The empress poisoned her daughter first, and then sent these assassins to her palace right after Murong Yun had an Frigid Poison attack, trying to take advantage of Murong Yun’s condition! The empress was determined to round up at one swoop!

Murong Xue had never seen such brutality before, plus she was still weak from the poison, she was terrified and worried, “Mother, is… is my sister-in-law all right?”

Luo Qianqian was gambling with the prison guards, she had got excellent dice skills, therefore the poor guards kept losing money and doing shots, they were lucky they were still able to stand up straight because they usually drank like a fish.

“Ha, you guys lose again, do shots now!” Luo Qianqian exclaimed. She would occasionally throw the match to win less money to keep playing the game for a longer time.

“You are so great at the game! None of us is match for you.”

Luo Qianqian chuckled, somehow she felt so agitated like something bad was about to happen.

She wasn’t worry about herself, she just recalled what the empress said before she was thrown into jail and she couldn’t help but worry about Murong Yun for he still hadn’t shown up, ‘Is… is something happening to him?’

With that in mind, Luo Qianqian slowed down with the dice, she put one leg on the table and kept looking outside.

One prison guard noticed that, he asked casually, “Miss, is something bothering you? Do you want to go out and check?”

Luo Qianqian didn’t reply.

The guard was a bit tipsy, he continued, “Everyone here wants to walk out, but not on our watch.”

The other guard chimed in, “This is the Maximum Security Prison, all the important criminals are here! But you don’t look like a villain, are you being framed?”

“Miss, I need to warn you beforehand, no one was ever pardoned and has walked out from this prison unless the emperor would issue an imperial edict himself!”

Luo Qianqian’s brows furrowed, “Fellows, can you please do me this favor? Can I sneak out for a little while, this is an emergency! I swear I will be back after I’m done, I won’t get any of you into trouble! Please!”

The guards looked so torn, “Miss, we trust you and what you said, it’s just this is beyond example.”

“Yes, Miss, the consequences are hard to imagine… …”

“Miss, as you have seen, we have so many cells and so many detainees here, surely someone will notice your brief disappearance if we help you out. Surely, we will be beheaded by then… …”

Luo Qianqian sighed, she knew what the guards said was true.

‘Murong Yun, are you all right?’

‘The empress must have sent assassins!’

Luo Qianqian wished she could become a butterfly and fly to Red Joy Palace to see whether Murong Yun was all right.

The guards noticed how blue Luo Qianqian was, and they all wanted to cheer her up.

“Miss, here is the thing, it’s true we can’t let you get out, but we can walk out for you!”

“Correct!” the other guard’s eyes sparkled, “Yes, we all can!”

“Is there something you’d like to finish? Is there someone you want to see? Just tell us, we’re happy to be the messenger.”

Luo Qianqian’s eyes flickered, ‘That’s the only way now.’

She signaled to the guards to come closer, the more private this was , the better.

A guard took off his uniform and put on a black outfit to avoid any unnecessary attention, but he heard a ‘bang’ when he opened the gate.

The gate was kicked open from outside and the dust it caused billowed into the prison, Luo Qianqian kept coughing.

“I’m here looking for someone!” a cold voice rang, people would shudder hearing that voice.

Luo Qianqian found that vice quite familiar, she kept waving her hand to clear the dust in front of her eyes and she opened her eyes with some efforts, a man covered in blood on his white outfit came to her sight.

Luo Qianqian gasped, it was him! His white outfit was covered with blood stains, but he looked ever more gorgeous in that outfit, the blood stains just added splendor to his features.

Murong Yun now had seen Luo Qianqian as well, the girl who had become friends and played dice with the prisoners and sat by a table with a pile of silver on her side.

Luo Qianqian sprang to her feet and darted towards the man, the man opened his arms and cuddled her.

Luo Qianqian hugged him tightly and stared at him, ‘there is no wounds on him, so these are other people’s blood stains?’

She clung on him like an octopus “I’m so sorry, did I make you worry?”

She hugged the man tighter and tighter while she kept apologizing for being do reckless, she knew he wouldn’t be ambushed if not for her recklessness.
