Chapter 775: Chapter 774: How Could She Be Here_1
The two large stone slabs seemed to have turned into tofu, effortlessly shifting forward to reveal a gaping dark hole below!
Eunuch Hao blinked, his mouth agape with shock!
He had heard rumors that Su Pan’er had natural godlike strength and outstanding medical skills! But he had never seen Su Pan’er use her abilities before.
The sight of Su Pan’er demonstrating her strength right in front of him nearly scared him out of his wits!
Su Pan’er didn’t care about his reaction, at the moment her attention was focused on the underground tunnel. After closely sensing the situation in the tunnel and detecting no anomalies, she turned to say goodbye to Eunuch Hao.
"Eunuch Hao, I’m leaving now! Could you please inform Lord Marquis on my behalf? Farewell."
"Rest assured! This matter, I will handle it."
Eunuch Hao responded: "Mrs. Qin, after entering the tunnel you must continue straight ahead, don’t turn or stop, keep going till you reach the end and you can get out."
After Su Pan’er jumped into the tunnel, he used the strength of nine oxen and two tigers to move the two large stone slabs back into place.
Checking the area and still unsatisfied, he fetched some dry soil and fallen leaves from nearby to cover the traces, before hurriedly leaving the side palace hall.
Once Su Pan’er entered the tunnel, she quickly realized that it was connected to the underground drainage channel of the Imperial Palace. It was clearly long neglected and filled with a musty smell. Occasionally, a rat would dart out and scurry across her feet, showing no fear of humans.
Fortunately, the drainage channel was high and wide, and although slippery, she managed to lug the sack and keep walking forward without diverting from her path. When she reached the end, she searched around and found a stone slab-like object.
With one strong push, the stone slab trembled and opened!
Seizing the opportunity, Su Pan’er jumped out and found herself behind the shrine of an old dilapidated temple.
A few ragged vagrants lay scattered about on the temple floor. Seeing Su Pan’er emerge from behind the shrine, they were astonished.
"Who, who are you? How did you come out of there?"
A killing intent flickered in Su Pan’er’s eyes: "I had intended to spare you, but alas..."
With that, she walked towards the exit.
The vagrants were still trying to understand her words when they felt a chilling sensation on their heads. The next moment, their vision blurred and they collapsed, not getting up again.
Su Pan’er moved swiftly, lugging the sack out of the temple and hurrying down the street.
The dilapidated temple was in the north of the city, and Marquis Zhenguo’s residence was in the east. She had to get back to Zhenguo’s residence before dawn!
It seemed that the news of the emergency in the palace had already spread. The streets, usually under curfew, were filled with Imperial Guards wielding long spears and large sabers. A strong aura of intimidation hung in the air.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Pan’er returned to Marquis Zhenguo’s residence unnoticed.
The hardships she faced along the way needn’t be mentioned.
When she reached the residence’s gate, she saw a large group of people furiously battering the main door of Marquis Zhenguo’s residence from a distance.
"Open the door! Open the door, open the door, by the emperor’s decree, we have come to invite Mrs. Marquis Zhenguo to the Imperial Palace! Open the door quickly!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
The pounding of the door echoed in rounds.
Inside, Uncle Xiao and others anxiously paced back and forth.
"The people outside look menacing, they don’t seem like they are inviting the mistress to the palace, but more like they are seeking revenge! Besides, the mistress has already entered the palace, yet they claim to fetch the mistress to the palace, could it be a deception?"
"Whether it’s true or false, we can’t be sure. However, the mistress is not at home and we cannot let these unknown nobodies enter the mansion. But, these people may not be easily sent away."
After a moment of silence, Uncle Xiao stood decisively: "Since the mistress is not at home, we naturally can’t just let people enter the mansion. Those people want to wreak havoc in our mansion? Let’s see if they have the guts!"
With that, he marched outside.
When Su Pan’er jumped over the wall into the residence, she saw Uncle Xiao gathering the mansion’s staff.
"Uncle Xiao!"
Su Pan’er strode forward.
"Madam, you are finally back!"
Upon seeing Su Pan’er, Uncle Xiao’s hanging heart finally eased. "Those people outside are waving the Imperial Decree, claiming they want to break into the mansion to apprehend someone. Madam, about this..."
"No worries!"
Su Pan’er sneered. "The people outside are traitorous officials. If they dare to rush into the mansion, I want you guys to beat them to death for me! Every one that can be left is a bonus!"
When the tiger does not show its power, do they think this old woman is a sick cat!
Su Pan’er had already made up her mind when she stepped into the mansion.
This pep up Uncle Xiao.
Immediately, he thumped his chest in guarantee, "Madam, rest assured! Just with those few people outside, they still want to bully our Marquis Zhenguo’s Residence. Look at what kind of family we are! I will give the orders now."
According to regulations, Marquis Zhenguo can keep a private army of ten thousand.
And the soldiers in the Marquis Zhenguo’s residence were all originally brought back by Qin Yi from Hezhong Prefecture. These soldiers have all been tempered in real battles.
They had heard the clamor of those people outside, and their hearts had long been filled with fury.
Hearing Madam’s instructions, how could they hold back?
"Madam, rest assured! As long as we are here, just with those few people, they still want to act arbitrarily in front of Marquis Zhenguo’s Residence. They have big dog’s gall!"
The leading guard thumped his chest in guarantee.
"That’s good! Go, demonstrate the might of my Marquis Zhenguo! Beat them until they hurt, until they are in pain, and until they dare not come to the door again!"
Su Pan’er gave the death order and turned to enter the house.
"Yes, Madam!"
The leading guard promptly led his men out with energy.
"Quickly, close the door, and guard the entrance. Don’t let anyone in."
Su Pan’er put down the sack on her shoulder, and while instructing Aunt Wang and others behind her, she opened the mouth of the sack.
With the sack untied, the thing she had carried all the way was revealed.
"Oh, my!"
Qingwen exclaimed, and her complexion changed as she hurriedly bit her lower lip. "Madam, this person is... is..."
Isn’t this The Empress Dowager?
How is she here? Qingwen could not help trembling all over.
"Don’t just stand there. Come and give me a hand."
As Su Pan’er spoke, she removed the sack from the individual and quickly, together with Qingwen, positioned the person comfortably before taking her pulse again.
Qingwen’s heart was thumping wildly!
Su Pan’er withdrew her hand, took out her silver needle, and started acupuncture again. The silver needles flew swiftly, one needle after another fell onto The Empress Dowager. When she finished and put away the needles, she finally wiped off her sweat.
The trip was not in vain!
Qingwen wanted to speak several times, "Madam, this..."
"Don’t worry. As far as the outside world is concerned, she is already dead."
The Empress Dowager in the palace was already announced dead. As for her...
Su Pan’er glanced at The Empress Dowager who still showed no signs of life. Whether she could survive or not would depend on the situation in the Imperial Palace!
