Chapter 786 -786: Crisis Everywhere! (Part Seven)
“Halt the sedan!”
Elder Di raised his hand, and the sedan chair stopped in front of the group of Imperial Guards, scolding sharply.
“Commander Yang, what’s going on? Do I, the Official, need to be checked when I leave the palace?”
The Imperial Guard Commander known as Commander Yang sneered twice, shook the big blade in his hand, and greeted with a fist.
“It turns out to be Elder Di! What a fortunate encounter. Today, a female thief has appeared in the palace, who not only killed a palace maid in Wende Hall but also stole a large number of rare antiques in the hall, and then escaped. At the moment, I the Commander, am carrying out the Empress’s Edict to capture the female thief here. Please cooperate with me in investigating the case, Elder Di!”
What female thief? If anyone still believes this kind of excuse at the moment, they are more foolish than a pig!
...
Elder Di immediately frowned: “Commander Yang, let’s not beat around the bush! When I the Official was an officer in the court, you hadn’t even been born. You don’t need to use such excuses in front of me. If you want to catch a fugitive, go ahead! But I still will leave the palace gate today.”
Commander Yang sneered a few times: “Elder Di is an elder of three dynasties and an important court minister, and I the Commander indeed cannot compare to you. If you want to leave the palace gate tonight, I dare not stop you, but the sedan behind you must stay!”
While people in front were negotiating, the Shadow Guard was quietly explaining to Liu Sisi beside the other sedan.
“This Commander Yang is the Empress’s own brother, and the trouble tonight is probably instigated by the Empress.”
Liu Sisi nodded, and although the Empress occasionally looked at her kindly, the hatred in the eyes could not be hidden. The hatred for her could be described as deep-rooted.
“Except for her, there shouldn’t be anyone else.”
Liu Sisi touched her earlobe, this matter might be related to the grudges of the previous generation.
The Shadow Guard looked at the sky: “The curfew of the palace gate is at the end of 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and at the moment there are two pots of tea’s time left before the gate closes. As long as he drags us for that long, even if he lets us go, we won’t be able to leave.”
There’s still the time of two pots of tea?
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but look up at the sky, then looked at Commander Yang who was bickering with Elder Di. Apparently, this was his intention.
If she was really left in the palace, who knows what would happen during the long night?
Elder Di was furious!
“Commander Yang, let me make it clear, I will leave the palace gate today whether you let me or not! If His Majesty blames me, I the Official will take full responsibility! Lift the sedan!”
After finishing, Elder Di waved his hand and lowered the sedan curtain.
“Wait!”
With Commander Yang’s shout, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the edge of Elder Di’s sedan: “Tonight, I the Commander also made a military order in front of the Empress, no matter what, I dare not disobey and let the female thief out of the palace gate!”
“Commander Yang, if you don’t let go, don’t blame me for being ruthless regardless of our past friendship!”
In order to get Liu Sisi safely out of the palace gate, Elder Di was staking his life.
“What’s going on? Elder Di, why haven’t you left the palace gate yet?”

There was a sudden loud voice from behind, and Prince Luo hurried to the crowd on horseback before stopping. He was the only one in the Great Zhao who could ride in and out of the palace.
Looking at Prince Luo and Assistant Minister Di Hongyuan who arrived later, Commander Yang didn’t even bat an eyelash and casually made a fist greeting: “By the Empress’ edict, I am here to capture a female thief who murdered and robbed, so please understand, Your Honors!”
“Oh, so that’s it!”
Prince Luo nodded in understanding: “So it’s to capture a female thief. Commander Yang, it must have been hard for you! But what’s the matter with blocking the Palace gate? Don’t tell me you think your so-called female thief is among us?”
As Prince Luo spoke, he lifted his horse whip and pointed to the crowd.
Commander Yang, who was not moved by flattery, sneered: “This Commander is carrying out a mission to investigate, so I kindly ask you not to obstruct me.”
Prince Luo looked up at the sky, less than the time of two pots of tea before the palace gate would close. Even if he could return to Assembled Elite Hall and bring a decree allowing Liu Sisi to leave, there might still be many complications along the way.
“Come over here!”
Prince Luo sat high on the horseback and beckoned at Commander Yang.
Naturally, Commander Yang didn’t dare to delay and took two steps forward, only to suddenly be caught around the waist with the whip wielded by Prince Luo.
“Commander Yang, don’t you think that I dare not kill you!”
A murderous intent flashed quickly in his eyes.
“Believe me, Prince Luo has been wanting to get rid of me for more than a day or two. However, there is more than just you, Prince Luo, who wishes to get rid of me, yet up to now, my head is still firmly on my shoulders, not losing my means of livelihood. Does Prince Luo know why?”
Why else? It was none other than the influential Yang Family that no one in the court dared to oppose!
“Hmph! I’m not interested in knowing that. However, I may not kill you, but I can knock you unconscious and break through the palace gate. Commander Yang, what do you think of this method?” Prince Luo’s patience was growing thinner.
“Ha-ha-ha… I guess Prince Luo didn’t notice, did you? You should look left and right before you speak!”
Following the direction Commander Yang pointed, Liu Sisi gasped!
On both sides of the palace wall, countless strong crossbowmen had their crossbows pointed at them. If anyone made a wrong move, they would be shot to pieces by these strong crossbows!
Naturally, everyone who entered the palace was unarmed, but facing an endless number of strong crossbows with bare hands was like eggs crashing against stones!
She couldn’t help but feel extremely anxious, and had to think of a good strategy as soon as possible!
“Commander Yang, what a bold move you’ve made! For an imaginary female thief, you mobilized such a war reserve in the palace! You not only have a big guts but the guts of a dog too!”
“Hmph! As the Commander of the Forbidden Army, I naturally have the power to use these reserves as needed. If Prince Luo feels that I have done something wrong, you are more than welcome to report me to His Majesty.” Commander Yang said smugly.
In just the time of a pot of tea, it will be the end of 5 p.m to 7 p.m. As soon as the palace gate closed, everyone would be like fish on a chopping board tonight, at their mercy!
“His Majesty has decreed, Commander Yang, accept the decree!”
A crisp female voice suddenly sounded. As the voice rang out, a figure crawled out of the sedan chair, holding a golden-yellow Imperial Decree above her head, and announced it loudly.
“Commander Yang, His Majesty has decreed, so please kneel down and listen to the decree!”
