Chapter 409: Chapter 407: Empress Summons_1
“Yin’er, have you thoroughly investigated the situation in the Imperial Palace? What’s the Empress’ move after returning from the side palace?”
Lin Qingluo followed Ye Xue’e into the room, pretending to admire the decorative ornaments, and communicated with Little Kingfisher through telepathy.
“There’s no further action for now. The Little Prince returned to the palace, and the Empress rewarded the accompanying guards. She seems happy, but she secretly sent two Qilin Guards to monitor you, Master.”
Little Kingfisher’s glittering black eyes showed disdain.
“They haven’t experienced my prowess yet. How dare they loiter around Duke of Zhen’s mansion? One day, when I’m bored in the palace, I’ll find time to deal with them.”
“Two Qilin Guards aren’t a big deal. Leave them be. Startling the snake in the grass and arousing the Empress’ suspicion would be inappropriate.”
Lin Qingluo didn’t take it seriously: “Did you find out why the Noble Lord stopped the Empress from assassinating me? What’s his true purpose?”
“The Noble Lord might be driven to desperation by Beiming.”
Little Kingfisher speculated secretly: “King of Beiming, Xia Yan, is a ruthless character who has planted many spies throughout the Seven Kingdoms. He uses various extreme means to force them to do his bidding.”
“Noble Lord is no exception. Beiming’s spies have tried to abduct Little Prince several times, threatening him with the prince’s life. A cornered rabbit will bite, let alone the Noble Lord who is a cunning fox.”
“Is that all?”
Lin Qingluo still had concerns: “Did he advise the Empress to let me accompany Xuan’er just to win me over and protect Xuan’er?”
“Judging from the information provided by our birds, it seems so.”
Little Kingfisher blinked her big eyes, affirming: “At least his love for the Little Prince cannot be faked.”
“This man is very scheming and not as simple as he appears. Keep an eye on him. As for the Empress’ affairs, no detail can be missed.”
Lin Qingluo’s mind flashed the crimson mole under Noble Lord’s eye, causing her heart to clench involuntarily.
For some reason, she always had a feeling.
The one she should guard against most was not the Empress, but the Noble Lord.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp.”
Suddenly, there was a flurry of birds’ chirping from the direction of the Imperial Palace. Little Kingfisher’s mind was jolted, and she inwardly panicked.
“What’s wrong, Yin’er?”
Lin Qingluo clearly felt Little Kingfisher’s emotional turmoil and unconsciously fiddled with the sleeve arrow hidden in her left wrist.
“The Empress summons you to enter the palace for an audience.”
Little Kingfisher repeated the message sent by the birds: “The eunuch delivering the decree has left the palace and is heading toward Duke of Zhen’s mansion.”
“What was bound to happen has finally come.”
A trace of sharpness flickered in Lin Qingluo’s eyes as she sighed softly.
“Master, let’s just set the Imperial Palace on fire, leave Fengqi, and travel around the kingdoms.”
Little Kingfisher was very dissatisfied with the Empress’ arrogance and wanted to vent her anger for the Master.
“How I wish I could!” freeweɓnovel.cøm
Lin Qingluo sighed: “But reality doesn’t permit it. I can leave, but what about the people of the Duke of Zhen’s household? Even if I can leave, they can’t, and they’ll also be implicated.”
“Are you really going to enter the palace?”
Little Kingfisher didn’t want her Master to take risks: “The Empress clearly wants to harm you. If you go, who knows what tricks she will play to eliminate you secretly!”
“I have no choice but to go.”
Lin Qingluo’s heart sank: “If I defy the imperial order, wouldn’t that just give her a legitimate excuse to kill me?”
“Alas, the damned imperial power!”
Little Kingfisher puffed up her cheeks and grumbled in resentment.
