Chapter 591: Chapter 584: Entering the Palace to have an Audience with the Emperor_1

Soon after, he sent men to stealthily investigate the situation in the Imperial Palace. But several routes leading into the inner city of the palace had been heavily guarded by the military. The people he sent were unable to start and could not discover any useful information.

After staying up half the night, Su Pan’er really couldn’t sit still and went to the Xiaoyao Pavilion to get a high view!

The sky was dimly lit, and dazzling fireworks still occasionally shone in mid-air, illuminating the entire sky of Shengjing.

Looking far away, it was just like the usual, so peaceful, majestic, and solemn.

But who knows how much bloody murdering is happening under this peaceful cover!

Today, all the princes, ministers and ladies who had been conferred titles by the Imperial Court have to enter the palace to express gratitude to the Emperor.

Su Pan’er changed into the court dress of the third grade Imperial Wife, got into the carriage and rushed straight towards the palace gate.

In the morning air, there was a chill, mixed with a faint yet lingering stench of blood.

The bleak and cold breath seemed to penetrate into people’s bodies through the gaps of the carriage. Even though she was hugging two hot-water bottles and there was Silver Frost Charcoal lit in the carriage, it still couldn’t alleviate the chill that rose from her heart!

Su Pan’er felt that her calves, which hadn’t cramped in a long time, seemed to show signs of cramping again. She quickly spread her toes and tightly gripped the ground to alleviate the discomfort in her body.

All the way, the snow on the roofs of houses along the way had not melted yet, and the streets were filled with carriages rushing into the palace. Nobody greeted each other and everyone silently continued towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Su Pan’er was anxious, having no idea about the current situation as she was unable to contact Qin Yi now.

Suddenly, she heard someone from a neighboring carriage calling her.

"Sister, Younger Sister Pan’er!"

It was the voice of Mrs. Zhang.

Little maidservant Qingwen looked up at Su Pan’er, and upon seeing Su Pan’er nodding at her, quickly lifted a corner of the carriage curtain to let Su Pan’er see outside.

Mrs. Zhang’s carriage also lifted its curtain and the two carriages were moving side by side at this moment.

She looked around, lowered her voice and said: "Sister, don’t walk too fast later, wait for me to go together. It’s good to have company."

Su Pan’er’s eyes flashed, even though she didn’t understand Mrs. Zhang’s intentions, she still nodded gently.

Mrs. Zhang laughed and let down the curtain. Her carriage immediately accelerated, bypassing Su Pan’er’s carriage, and moved forward at a fast speed.

Su Pan’er touched the whip tied around her waist. She was afraid this could not be brought into the Imperial Palace.

She touched her belly and her eyes lit up.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the Imperial Palace.

Mrs. Zhang was already waiting there, and hurried forward when she saw her get off the carriage.

She spoke in a low voice: "Yesterday Prince Qi led half of his troops into the Imperial Palace intending to force the Emperor to abdicate. Great General Ye was injured while protecting the Emperor and he, along with some Imperial Guards, were surrounded by Prince Qi’s troops. Thankfully, your husband, Lord Qin, suddenly appeared with a group of troops like a god descending from heaven, directly crushing Prince Qi’s forces and saving the Emperor and everyone else in the nick of time. If it wasn’t for Lord Qin’s timely rescue, who knows what would have happened in the Imperial Palace last night."

Mrs. Zhang involuntarily tightly gripped Su Pan’er’s hand. Her hand was icy cold and faintly trembling.

When she talked about these things, she spoke quickly without any pause, obviously she had rehearsed it many times in her heart.

Looking into Su Pan’er’s eyes, there was a deep longing.

Su Pan’er chuckled, patted her shoulder, freed her hand, and quietly said, "Sister, don’t worry, there should be good news coming soon. There’s no use worrying."

Hearing that Prince Qi’s forces had been defeated, her heart, which had been thudding in her throat, finally returned to its place.

However, as soon as she learned that Ye Han was seriously injured, she was so anxious that she wished she could fly to him. She naturally understood Ye Han’s martial abilities; if he was injured, then the person who hurt him must be powerful! If Qin Yi faced this person, would he still be able to win? Su Pan’er was unsure.

"My little sister sees things more clearly."

Mrs. Zhang’s voice trembled a bit as she forced a smile. She looked left and right, then whispered to Su Pan’er, "When you enter the palace today, try to speak as little as possible. Even if the Empress wants to find fault with you, don’t panic too much. After all, Lord Qin’s merits are clear for all to see. Unless she wants to fight with him at this moment, she dare not touch you."

"Hmm."

Su Pan’er replied ambiguously, "Thanks for the advice, Sister. I believe the crisis in the palace must be over by now."

"It should be... haha, it must be over, it’s all over..."

Mrs. Zhang forced a laugh, but she couldn’t help adjusting the golden hairpin on her head and tugging at her thick court robe.

The golden hairpin seemed to be hollow! Su Pan’er’s eyes twinkled with a smile.

"Sister, let’s go! If we’re too late, we won’t be able to catch up with everyone else."

Saying this, Su Pan’er took the lead and stepped onto the corridor.

The hour was still early, and it was winter, so it was still a bit dark out. However, one could still vaguely see people’s faces.

When people saw Su Pan’er, they automatically cleared a path for her.

The journey was silent, and everyone simply let her lead the way.

After a while, a eunuch with a broad smile came forward and guided her to the place where a third-grade imperial wife should be.

She lowered her eyes lightly, as if deep in thought, saying nothing and barely moving.

Those who originally wanted to greet her and chat with her gave up upon seeing her like this.

Although Su Pan’er appeared to be deep in thought, in reality, her mind was racing.

She noticed that the crossbows set on both sides of the palace gates were fully loaded and ready to shoot. At a command, they would turn everyone into porcupines.

Although the ground had been cleaned up, she could still smell the scent of human blood because she had a natural sensitivity to the stench of blood.

She also noticed that the ladies conferred titles by the Imperial Court subtly segregated themselves into groups. Some looked dejected as if in mourning; some had uncontrollable smiles on their faces, with eyes and eyebrows expressing joy; some showed no emotion, their eyes wandering aimlessly; others adopted an aloof demeanor as if they were not concerned about the matter.

It really felt like watching a grand drama, quite a treat!

Mrs. Zhang, standing behind her, tried to force her way forward several times. But today, the eunuchs who managed the ladies of the court were especially strict. Every time she moved, several eunuchs stared at her fiercely. She quickly withdrew, not daring to move again.

Time slowly passed, and finally, it was time to enter the palace.

Su Pan’er stood among the ladies of the court, divided into four columns, and slowly moved into the palace with everyone else.
