Chapter 774: Chapter 773: Avoiding the Limelight_1

Just as he poked his head out, he saw several soldiers chasing two palace maids, and they were screaming and running in fear towards him. He quickly drew back and huddled in hiding, not daring to show himself.

"Chase! Quick..."

Several soldiers chased this way, shouting loudly.

The two palace maids continuously pleaded, "Spare us! Spare us--"

Before they could finish their pleas for mercy, the soldiers grabbed them, and with a swift motion of the sword on their necks, the maids let out a final scream before falling into a pool of blood.

Eunuch Hao was trembling violently, his teeth chattering.

Despite having spent many years in the palace witnessing life and death, he was far from being calm in the face of death himself.

He quickly covered his head, closed his eyes, and hid. At this point, he had to accept whatever fate threw his way.

Obtuse to how much time had passed, it felt like a long time and yet like a mere blink of an eye, someone suddenly tapped his head.

"Mother!"

He was scared to the point of weakness, dropping onto his buttocks and immobilized, with eyes shut tightly.

Is this the end of my life?

"Eunuch Hao, what are you doing? Let’s go!"

Su Pan’er’s voice suddenly rang out beside him. Eunuch Hao was glad to hear it and carefully opened a tiny slit in his eyes...

Upon seeing Su Pan’er, he heaved a sigh of relief, "Mrs. Qin, oh Mrs. Qin, you’re finally back! Just now, this place..."

"Eunuch Hao, the situation is urgent, spare the small talk. Let’s leave this place first!"

She interrupted him before he could finish.

Eunuch Hao then noticed that Su Pan’er had changed into the attire of an eunuch. A sack was slung over her shoulder, looking full but what it contained was unknown.

"Don’t look, it’s nothing but gold and silver valuables."

Su Pan’er coughed awkwardly, "We can use these in case of emergency."

"No worries, no worries."

Eunuch Hao didn’t dwell too much on it. He led Su Pan’er through a narrow road to the backyard of the Imperial Garden, where the sounds of combat were deafening.

"It’s over, it’s over! Your servant was saying we should not delay. The traitorous officials have actually advanced this far. What should we do?" Eunuch Hao was worried and couldn’t help but mumble to himself.

Su Pan’er surveyed the environment and observed the fight on the other side.

In the darkness, she couldn’t distinguish who was on top among the officials fighting. Whether they were traitors from within the palace or mixed in from outside. It would be best for them to avoid the feud and hide for now.

"Don’t panic! Later, which direction should we go?" Su Pan’er asked in a low voice.

"That way."

Eunuch Hao hurriedly pointed at the exit diagonally across.

Su Pan’er nodded, then whispered some reassurance, "Mmm, we take detour there. If we aren’t noticed, that’s best. If someone notices us, pay no heed and just run. I will protect you. Trust me!"

Eunuch Hao looked at her and Su Pan’er nodded firmly.

"Your servant understands."

Under such circumstances, one had to take a risk!

Eunuch Hao stopped hesitating meaninglessly and directly agreed.

Su Pan’er nodded. Taking cover behind the flower stage in the garden, the two managed to get past easily. But up ahead was an open space. Even though it was night, there were numerous torches around, making it impossible to hide.

Eunuch Hao squatted at the front of the scene, reluctant to rush out.

"Move quickly! The later it gets, the more people there will be, less favorable to us!"

Su Pan’er urged him on.

While Eunuch Hao knew well about this, the thought of rushing out alone caused his scalp to tingle. He simply closed his eyes and gritted his teeth...

"Hold on! Shh..."

Unexpectedly, Su Pan’er reached out to halt Eunuch Hao, who had been about to rush out. She pulled him back, causing him to stumble, and quickly hushed him. She pointed into the distance.

Where Su Pan’er was pointing, a troop had suddenly appeared.

At the front walked two men dressed in general’s armor.

Despite the darkness, Su Pan’er could clearly identify the man walking on the left!

If it were other people, even if she had seen their faces, she might not recognize them after some time. But as for the man in front of her, though she hadn’t seen his face, she always remembered his voice.

This man was the one who supported Young Mister Qin at Mrs. Zhang’s Mansion while wearing a straw hat.

He was also the one who suggested strategies from behind the wall during the fire at Huangjue Temple!

Now, it was the third time she came across this man.

Yet she was still unable to see his face. However, his unique voice gave him away!

His body was tilted, and his head was inclined towards another man. He was speaking in a low voice to the other man. From where Su Pan’er was, she couldn’t see his face, having no clue what he looked like.

Though she wanted to move to get a clear look, Eunuch Hao suddenly grabbed hold of her.

His grip was so firm that she couldn’t help but frown.

"Don’t go...

Eunuch Hao naturally noticed Su Pan’er’s anomaly and stopped her from leaving.

Being pulled by Eunuch Hao, Su Pan’er realized that now was not the time to be curious. She suppressed her curiosity, watched the group merge with another group, and seemed to say something. Then they walked towards the other end of the Imperial Garden.

While they were away and the path was less congested, Su Pan’er and Eunuch Hao swiftly became shadows, drenched in sweat. They managed to make it to the small side palace hall, taking cover behind the flower stage and trees.

"Quick, come in!"

Upon opening the door to the side palace hall, Eunuch Hao waved her in.

Su Pan’er hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the doorway.

After Eunuch Hao closed the door again, he led Su Pan’er to a corner in the garden by the side palace hall and pointed at the flower bed, "Right here! Together, we lift these two large slabs under the flower bed. There’s a secret tunnel beneath. Mrs. Qin, you take the tunnel to leave the palace. In case someone asks, insist that you were never in the palace tonight. His Majesty is determined to protect you!"

"I understand, thank you Eunuch Hao."

Su Pan’er looked at the two large slabs and took a step forward without putting down the sack on her shoulder. Instead, she freed one hand to grab one end of the slab, and pushed it with force!
