Chapter 3848: Ongoing (1)
In the royal palace of Northern Yan.
Princess Rao entered the palace.
She went to the imperial study first and was stopped at the door because His Majesty was going through the memorials and no one was to disturb him. Princess Rao’s face was as calm as still water. She then whispered something in the eunuch’s ear.
However, the young eunuch shook his head with a pale face.
Princess Rao frowned and said coldly, “His Majesty will leave when the time comes!”
Hearing that, the young eunuch finally nodded, as if he was ready to die.
Seeing that he had stiffened and slowed down, Princess Rao warned him, “If you tell anyone, you’ll be decapitated!”
The young eunuch shuddered. He then straightened his back and moved naturally.
After that, Princess Rao quickly went to see her mother.
The queen was sipping her tea, and the atmosphere in the palace was very peaceful.
However, when Princess Rao told her about the current situation, the queen frowned. “Is that true?
Princess Rao didn’t behave like a peac.o.c.k in front of the queen. Instead, she looked very innocent.
The queen was sitting, and Princess Rao knelt down in front of her. She buried her face in the queen’s palm and said, “Mother, all seven Spiritual Overlords are dead. Huyan Yichen still won’t let me go. He’s going to report to my father. Mother…”
“Huyan Yichen isn’t capable enough to do that.” The queen didn’t seem fl.u.s.tered at all. She remained unperturbed. After taking a sip of her tea, she said with a grim look on her face, “The eldest prince is involved now. He’s the only one who’s capable enough to do that. He’s also the one who wants to take you down.”
“Mother, I don’t think my brother is the only one. There’s also that mysterious girl.” The ordinary-looking girl appeared in Princess Rao’s mind. She wasn’t all that stunning, but her eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky!
Hence, she told the king about the girl who had shown up in the shop, but the queen didn’t think much of it. “She’s just a girl with no spiritual essence. What’s important is to hush this thing up.”
The queen stared at Princess Rao. “What are you going to do?”
Princess Rao said, “What happened happened. Huyan Yichen and my brother were the witnesses. It was said that the head of the Punishment Office went to examine the scene, and they have all seven dead Spiritual Overlords. The head has sent a memorial to the throne, and it can blow up at any moment.” The queen’s face darkened.
Princess Rao said, “We have two options now. One is to admit to my father what I’ve done, but I’m sure he won’t forgive me that easily…
“The second option is to burn the memorial!”
Empress Dugu said, “Even if we do that, the office head can always write another one.”
Princess Rao said, “I’ll go see him myself and ask him to stall for a few days. I’m sure it’ll work!”
Empress Dugu asked, “What about Huyan Yichen or your brother? Are they going to wait?”
Princess Rao said, “I just need a few more days. How about…’
She whispered something in the queen’s ear.
“How dare you!” The queen smacked the table and glared at Princess Rao. Princess Rao immediately knelt down and put on a pitiful look.
The queen threw a dirty look at her.
Princess Rao tugged at the queen’s sleeve. ‘Mother, I’ll be fine when the Patriarch comes out of his seclusion.. I’ll be fine when I have the pill for my birthday…”
