Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Palace Turmoil in the Air (Part 1)

She had originally snuck into the room out of concern for her father.

Unexpectedly, she overheard this kind of conversation...

They, they actually want to kill the little brother!

The petite figure, after confirming there was no one in the palace, crawled out from under the bed, turned to look at her father lying aged and emaciated on the dragon bed, bit her lip, and quickly left through the secret passage in the palace cabinet.

Because she loved ’exploring’ around the palace from a young age, she inadvertently discovered this secret passage. Because of this, she could secretly visit her father.

Perhaps, the Empress Han and Crown Prince Qin Jinxiu could never imagine that their highly confidential conversation had been entirely overheard by Qin Yilian.

In a panic, Qin Yilian ran out from the secret passage, disregarding the dust on the hem of her skirt, and ran towards the palace gates, with only one thought in her mind: to tell the person everything she heard, stopping him from entering the palace!

But after just a few steps, she suddenly stopped, a trace of indecision and panic appearing in her innocent big eyes.

Four palace gates, and she was alone; she couldn’t guard so many!

Most importantly, she couldn’t get out!

The Empress not only forbade outsiders from entering but also restricted people inside the palace from leaving.

’What to do? What to do? What to do?’

That’s it!

Her eyes suddenly lit up with a solution.

She knew that her Imperial Brother had arranged for experts to protect her and her mother. She couldn’t leave the palace, but this expert definitely could!

As long as he got out, found the Imperial Brother, and then found that person to explain everything to stop him from coming to the palace, it would be fine.

But what if something went wrong?

Without time to think further, she called out her Hidden Guard and ordered him to leave the palace. She then returned to her chamber to find the three eunuchs she trusted the most, and they split up to hide in the corners of the palace gates.

Even if there wasn’t time to notify the outside, they could still warn at a critical moment.

Wearing a cloak that blended with the night, she chose the North Palace Gate. A voice within her seemed to tell her that by guarding here, she wouldn’t regret it.

...

That night, Luodu fell into a deep sleep like a trapped beast in dormancy.

On the streets, there wasn’t a single figure. The layers of buildings released their grim beastly claws in the night.

In the Outer City, the commonfolk slept peacefully, unaware of the night’s unusualness.

In the Inner City, behind locked gates, hid ministers and nobles each with their own thoughts.

At the Mu Mansion, the night wind suddenly came, making the lanterns sway under the eaves.

In the tightly closed room, candlelight enveloped the space, clearly indicating that those inside were not resting.

Inside, Mu Xiong was dressed in a mystic robe and silver armor, looking impressive. Mu Lianrong was also in military attire, radiating with heroic spirit.

Seeing her father finish the tea in his cup, she stepped forward to refill it.

Putting down the teapot, she spoke with some concern, ”Father, are we really letting Qingge venture into danger alone?”

Mu Xiong’s expression remained unchanged as he replied, ”No matter. She won’t be in any trouble; we just need to follow her plan.”

”The army has already gathered and is waiting. Once the time is right, they will enter the city. But if Qingge enters the palace and alarms those old fellows, what then?” Mu Lianrong was still uneasy.

Hearing this, Mu Xiong’s brow slightly raised.

Among the National Guardians of Qin Country, he knew there was one Purple Realm, five Blue Realms, and the rest were at the Peak of the Green Realm. Relying on one granddaughter’s strength to contend was indeed not a good scenario.
