Chapter 1558: Kicking the Palace Door Open IV
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Over time, the spiritual qi in the Divine Spirit Fluid was already almost used up. It no longer could bring back the dead as it did back then. However, it could still help others. Giving it to Qi Qin’er for her consumption was too wasteful!
The fellow courtiers had a look that said ‘such a pity’ on their faces. It also made Qi Fang’s face turn cold and dark.
Ever since Qin’er was wounded last night, the empress refused to see him. He had to use the excuse of sending over the Divine Spirit Fluid just to look at her.
As he thought, the old courtiers heard that he had brought out the Divine Spirit Fluid and all had the same expression, how extremely revolting!
“Presumptuous!” Qi Fang slammed the handle of the dragon seat as his face was green with anger. “The Divine Spirit Fluid is the treasure of my Tianling Kingdom. I naturally have the authority to give it to whoever I desire. Also, during this period, no one is allowed to disturb the empress. If there is nothing else, then dis—”
Before the last word was spoken, an urgent voice came from outside the imperial court.
“Reporting!!!”
This voice was incredibly urgent and nervous. The eunuch immediately crawled into the court and his face was full of panic and terror.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, bad news. That group of spirit beasts… spirit beasts have rushed in!”
What?
The fellow courtiers instantly panicked when they heard this.
Especially the courtiers. They were already used to being idle and very rarely went out to fight with others. Their cultivation had long deteriorated to who knows what level.
The moment they heard that the spirit beasts were attacking, they instantly got so panicked that they almost hid away.
“Your… Your Majesty… The spirit beasts are attacking. Quickly… Quickly go to General Manor to transfer the soldiers over.”
Qi Fang’s face darkened as he stood up from the dragon throne and walked out in large strides.
“Your Majesty!” The old courtiers were frightened. “Your Majesty, you cannot go out. It is too dangerous.”
Qi Fang halted as the corner of his lips turned into a sneer. “A little while back, the spirit beasts also came and attacked the city. The empress and I went together, but none of you stopped me or helped me relieve my burdens. Now, there is no need for any of you.”
After he finished speaking, he had already left the hall. His figure was like the wind, breezing away.

Feng Luan Palace.
Qi Qin’er was lying unconscious on the big bed in the bedroom with a pale face.
She was like a ragged doll that had lost its life. She seemed so pitiful.
The empress held a bowl of soup as she carefully spooned it into Qi Qin’er’s mouth.
However, a part of the soup kept flowing out the corner of her lips and onto the blanket.
If those old courtiers saw this, perhaps their heart would ache so much that their lives might just ebb away too. Perhaps they might even wish for Qi Qin’er to just die. At least, it would be better than wasting this Divine Spirit Fluid.
“Empress, Your Majesty.”
A palace maid slowly walked in as she respectfully said, “The young prince keeps making a fuss, but His Majesty refuses to let him out. He wants to see Empress.”
The empress lowered her gaze and put down the bowl of soup in her hands. She pursed her lips lightly as she stood up slowly.
“Take good care of the princess.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The palace maid lowered her head and said respectfully.
The empress dressed in her phoenix robes elegantly and n.o.bly stepped out of the bedroom.
Shortly after she left, a familiar voice could be heard from outside the door.
“I am here to see Fifth Princess. All of you, make way.”
“Yes, n.o.ble Consort.”
After the voices of the palace maids were heard, the door of the bedroom was slowly pushed open.
There was a smile on n.o.ble Consort Lin’s face as she entered slowly.
