Ren Baqian was naked. At this point in time, there were only faint scars left on his body. The doctor's office had prepared medicine like the black mud cream and his wounds would heal in a short period of time.
However, his eyes were still tightly shut, his face was pale, and he was completely unconscious.
The empress stood in front of him for a long time with a complicated look on her face.
Not to mention the changes that Ren Baqian could bring to Dayao from what the empress had seen, he was the only person that she had a good impression of for so many years, and she couldn't just watch him die like this.
However, if she were to leave Dayao for Great Xia, she was afraid that it would be extremely risky.
If she were to go to the Nine Pavilions, the risk wouldn't be too high. If there was a conflict, she was afraid that other people would immediately know about it. At that time, it would be difficult for her to leave Great Xia.
From the way the Nine Pavilions had always handled things, the possibility of a conflict was very high.
If it was a normal person, it could still be negotiated. However, it was really unknown what those lunatics in the Nine Pavilions would do.
At this moment, the empress was in such a dilemma.
After a while, the empress sighed softly and the coldness on her face dissipated a lot. She lifted the bed with one hand and wrapped Ren Baqian up with the cloth on the bed. Following which, she carried Ren Baqian with one hand and broke through the door, transforming into a red shadow as she headed for the palace.
After the empress left, everyone in the doctor's office heaved a sigh of relief. Many of them directly sat on the ground, and no one around them laughed at him.
Just now, the empress gave them a terrifying feeling. She was like a volcano that could erupt at any time, making it hard for them to breathe.
Tong Zhengye looked at the direction where the empress disappeared, turned around and asked that old man, "Is there no other way?"
"This kind of poison is extremely rare. Besides the people in the Nine Pavilions, no one knows the formula. Naturally, there's no way to detoxify it." That old man shook his head.
"Sigh." Tong Zhengye also sighed. It would have been fine even if he had to wait for Deputy Prefect Ren to build those things that he mentioned.
Yet, it gave him hope and then it came to an abrupt end.
He didn't doubt this old man's words at all. Previously, the empress didn't have the slightest doubt either.
If he said there was no other way, then there was definitely no other way.
There were still a few old freaks in the imperial court of Dayao. This old man was one of them. The old woman in Qingxin Palace Hall was also one of them. They were called old freaks not only because they were old enough.
"What about the guard?" Tong Zhenye asked again.
"His injuries are very serious. He almost lost his life. He needs to recuperate for a few days," the old man said.
Tong Zhenye nodded, then shook his head. "What a pity."
It was a pity for Ren Baqian. If it was before, he naturally wouldn't have taken a liking to it. However, after Ren Baqian showed him those things, he changed his mind. No matter what, Deputy Prefect Ren's capability in these aspects was admirable. In the future, he would cultivate diligently. Even though he was still lacking compared to Her Majesty, he would still be able to accept it.
What a pity.
Tong Zhengye exerted force on his feet and directly landed on a house in the distance. After a few flashes, he disappeared without a trace.
…
The empress brought Ren Baqian back to the palace and went straight to Yangxin Palace Hall. With a wave of her arm, Ren Baqian landed on the couch.
"Get some clothes from Pingle Park for him to change into," the empress said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the two of them answered, and Qing Yuan hurried out.
"Help me tie up my hair," the empress said as she sat in front of the mirror. In the mirror, there was an indifferent and heroic looking lady.
After Hong Luan had tied up her hair, she used her hands to trace the words on both sides of the mirror before turning around to look.
At this moment, Qing Yuan was helping Ren Baqian put on his clothes with a red face. After a long time, she finally helped him put on his clothes.
The empress walked a few steps in this hall and looked around.
Qing Yuan and Hong Luan felt that Her Majesty was giving off a strange vibe, but they couldn't tell why.
Thinking about it, it might be because of the assassination attempt on Deputy Prefect Ren. They didn't know who was so daring and whether or not the culprit was caught.
Fortunately, Deputy Prefect Ren was fine. Even though he hadn't woken up and his face was a little pale, his chest was heaving up and down. Presumably, he would wake up soon.
Otherwise, Her Majesty would definitely be angry.
Even if they didn't talk about Her Majesty, they had only seen Her Majesty treat one person like this for so many years. They didn't want Her Majesty to be sad if anything happened to him.
Just as the two of them were having wild thoughts, the empress suddenly said, "Tell Shi Qing, if I die, please invite that person back. Zhe Kouhai has been thinking about him for so many years. All along, I didn't kill him because I felt that this day might come. "
After hearing the empress's words, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were immediately stunned. They couldn't conceal the shock on their faces and cried out involuntarily, "Your Majesty!"
"It's just a precaution. There isn't anyone in this world who can make me stay." The empress raised her voice and said with a domineering tone that looked down on the world.
However, when the two of them heard these words, they panicked and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going out for a walk. Tell the Public Order Bureau and the Department of Inspection to investigate. As long as they find someone related, they don't need any evidence. Kill them all. Don't leave anyone alive. "
While speaking, the empress appeared beside the bed and lifted Ren Baqian with one hand. When she finished her last word, she had already disappeared from the hall, leaving only the words "don't leave anyone alive" echoing in the hall.
"Your Majesty!" Qing Yuan and Hong Luan shouted loudly. Soon after, they hurriedly ran out of the palace gate, but they couldn't find the empress.
"Quick, call General Xin Zhe over. Something happened to Her Majesty," the two of them shouted in panic.
…
The empress carried Ren Baqian and went straight to a corner of the palace. After a few flashes, she landed in a courtyard. There was a huge pond in this courtyard. A monster with the head of a lion, antlers of a deer, the eyes of a tiger, the body of a moose, dragon scales, and the tail of an ox was lying in the pond. It was the kirin that Ren Baqian had seen before.
When it sensed the empress coming in, it immediately stood up and let out a howl at her. Not only was it not scary, but it was also very intimate, as if it was greeting her.
The empress flipped over and stood on its back. She said coldly, "Let's go to the north."
"Howl!" This time around, the kirin's howl wasn't as obedient as before. Instead, it was filled with deterrence. Its eyes revealed an excited look as it soared into the sky and landed on the roof of a nearby house. Then, it leaped forward and crossed five or six courtyards before landing on the roof of another house.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Everyone in the palace was alarmed by the kirin's howl. Soon after, they saw the kirin running out of the courtyard. When they saw the red figure standing on its back, they immediately cried out in alarm.
Her Majesty actually rode a kirin out of the palace?
Upon seeing this scene, more than a dozen figures immediately leaped up from the palace and hurriedly chased after it. However, before they could go far, the kirin had already disappeared beyond the palace walls.
Xin Zhe's face turned ugly. Her Majesty usually wouldn't ride a kirin out of the palace. From the looks of it, she was going somewhere far away. As the commander of the palace guards, she actually didn't know anything about it. What exactly happened?
A moment later, when she heard Hong Luan and Qing Yuan's report, she was completely dumbfounded.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Shi Qing, who was sunbathing in his residence, heard the report. His face immediately changed.
Zhe Kouhai's face turned gloomy after hearing the news.
Tong Zhenye was completely stunned after hearing the news. Her Majesty actually went to the Nine Pavilions alone?
The imperial court of Dayao was shocked.
