Doted By The Regent King

During the operation at the Imperial Jue Temple, Lu Shenxing had imagined numerous outcomes of failure, and had considered the possibility of dying under a rain of arrows or blades, but never had he thought of this scenario—being captured by a woman.

Looking at Wufu’s increasingly blurry face, his consciousness suddenly returned to the night of their first encounter. Even after being administered with a top-grade Aphrodisiac, she had fiercely confronted him without hesitation, striving for the slightest chance of escape.

She’s a tough one indeed!

Before completely losing consciousness, this was the only thought in Lu Shenxing’s mind.

"Princess Consort, are you alright?" Chi Liu approached, and upon seeing the person on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Strip off the sleeve on his left arm," Wufu commanded coldly.

Chi Liu, without a word, took the dagger and cut off the sleeve, revealing a small wound to everyone’s sight.

"This..."

"It’s really him." Wufu crouched down for a closer look, thinking she might have been overthinking, and just wanted to verify it. It turned out to be true.

She stood up and said, "Search him thoroughly. Get all the poisons and whatever else he’s hiding on him. And be careful, this is the man who plotted against me during the Longevity Festival. Dislocate his jaw, take him back, and make sure he doesn’t die; he’s a big catch."

Someone who had confronted her during the Longevity Festival had appeared here, she wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death, that the two events were unconnected; it was no coincidence.

Chi Liu’s expression changed multiple times, first sealing several important acupoints on the man, and then finding several bottles of medicine powder from him, even a medicine pouch hidden in his dental area.

"Let’s go." Wufu instructed Chi Liu to carry the man while she carried the Little Prince to leave.

"Princess Consort, let me carry him." Mo Lan looked at the Little Prince on her back.

Yet, the Little Prince clung tightly to Wufu’s neck, burying his head in her back, his small body trembling slightly, believing no one.

"No need." Wufu also sensed his insecurity.

A few people walked down the mountain path.

A major incident occurred at the Imperial Jue Temple; there was an attempt to assassinate the Emperor and massacre the Royal Family, shocking the whole city.

The Emperor Yan was escorted back to the palace first thing, and the surrounding ten miles of the Imperial Jue Temple were quickly sealed off.

Ah Jiu learned that Wufu had slipped away to the Imperial Jue Temple, and considering the severity of the incident as they anticipated, he could no longer sit still. Regardless of his restriction, he rode swiftly towards the Imperial Jue Temple.

The closer he got to the Imperial Jue Temple, the more people he saw running towards the city, including civilians, and some carriages from official and noble families.

Likewise, there were also many people and carriages heading towards the Imperial Jue Temple, just like him, after all, a number of nobles attended this sacrificial ceremony. Now that something had happened, who wouldn’t be alarmed? Who would turn a blind eye?

"Hya." Ah Jiu continued to urge the magnificent steed beneath him to speed forward.

Imperial Palace.

Empress Dowager Mo was praying devoutly, just as she got up from the prayer mat, the White Jade Guanyin on the altar table suddenly toppled over.

Clatter.

Empress Dowager Mo’s face turned pale, and she clutched the prayer beads in her hands tightly, looking at the shattered pieces on the ground with terror, her heart pounding wildly, and panic spreading throughout her body.

"Madam." Hearing the sound, Nanny Shui peeked in, and upon seeing the shattered Guanyin on the ground, she too was frightened pale but quickly responded, saying, "Madam, don’t move rashly, I’ll get someone to clean up, you should leave first."

Empress Dowager Mo leaned on Nanny Shui’s hand, taking rigid steps, almost supporting her entire body on Nanny Shui.

Just after leaving the Buddha Hall, Eunuch Ning stumbled over, falling in front of Empress Dowager Mo’s feet, and exclaimed, "Madam, something has happened!"
