"Miss Du, let's leave quickly. His Majesty was already waiting anxiously in the palace.”
"Oh." Du Pian Hong turned around and left resolutely. Turning his back was only a shadow, isolating the hidden injuries between the two.
She turned around silently, feeling sad.
In the end, she still had to let him down.
"Miss Du, actually this servant has something to say.”In the palanquin, the palace maid dressed in pink said,""Miss Du, you don't have to be sad. This time, His Majesty is treating you seriously, so you can rest assured.”
" You mean..." Du Pian Hong retracted his gaze and stopped at the palace maid who was sitting beside her. She looked at this palace maid carefully and found that she was beautiful and charming. Her face was slightly made up and she was quite attractive. "What's your name?" she asked.”
"Miss, my name is Nainai.”The palace maid called Nainai replied respectfully,""This servant is His Majesty's personal palace maid. His Majesty specially sent this servant to receive Young Lady. Miss was a special person to His Majesty. Nainai would definitely send Miss to the palace safely this time.”
Send him safely to the palace?
Did she mean something else?
Du Penhong hesitated in his heart, then quietly lay down on the soft couch to rest. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the window, followed by the sound of fireworks exploding in the air.
Did something happen outside?
Du Pian Hong immediately lifted the curtains and looked outside. The carriage was surrounded by a group of armored guards, and the leader of the guards was the captain of the soldiers guarding the city tower.
What was this?
Du Pianhong put down the curtain and collected his thoughts.
From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Nainai, who was sitting on the other side, and realized that her face had suddenly turned pale.
Hence, she moved to Nainai's side and asked,""Nainai, what exactly happened outside? Did you know?" Du Pianhong tightened his grip on the corner of his clothes uneasily, then fixed his gaze on the palace maid Nainai. She didn't know what the current situation was like, nor did she know what kind of situation Sheng Minghao was in.
Therefore, she was flustered and uneasy…
She was even a little worried…
"Miss, actually His Majesty's situation in the palace is not that optimistic. Not only did the impeachment faction led by the Fourth Prince appear in the court, but there was also a mysterious organization that suddenly rose among the people, Qingyi Square. The sudden appearance of these two forces had already caused His Majesty to be deeply saddened.”
There was actually such a thing?
Du Shanhong lowered his head silently and thought to himself.
In the past, she had always thought that Sheng Minghao was the omnipotent Sage Emperor. Usually, when she saw his smiling face, she thought that he had always been carefree. With a wave of his hand, someone stepped forward to solve the problem. As soon as he opened his mouth, someone stepped forward to look after him.
He was the supreme emperor, and the entire world belonged to him!
But now, the omnipotent person actually encountered trouble!
Yet, she still stood up and asked for his help at this time.
Wasn't she a little too selfish?
"His Majesty was afraid that you would be ambushed by Qingyi Square on the way, so he specially sent fully armed guards to protect you. Also…" Nainai said softly,""We have also arranged for a team to specially dress up as Miss and walk towards the main road to the palace. I believe that they have successfully lured those people from Qingyi Square.”
"You guys!" Du Penhong's eyes widened upon hearing this. Then, he looked at Nainai with trembling lips." Why are you doing this?”
"Miss!" Nainai's face instantly turned pale as she looked at Du Paihong in panic.""Miss, the sound of horse hooves and explosions outside are secret signals, which means that those people may have been killed by the assassins of Qingyi Square!”
They had already been killed by the assassins!
Du Paihong felt a roaring sound in his head as he kept recalling the explosion he had just heard.
She couldn't believe it. She really couldn't believe it!
It turned out that there was already someone in another place who had dressed up to look like her and died for her.
Moreover, she did not know that all of this had happened!!
Why, why did this happen?
Why?
"Why did the people from Qingyi Lane want to assassinate me? Why do you have to find me for all these things?”Du Pianhong quickly stood up and moved to the car door. She struggled to open the car door and wanted to jump out.
She was wrong.
She was wrong.
It was better for her to stay as far away from the Holy Palace as possible!
"Miss, don't!" Nainai hurriedly rushed over and hugged Du Penhong's body, then called out,""You can't go back now! Please think carefully about His Majesty's painstaking efforts. Please think carefully about our arrangements along the way.”Nainai said softly, trying to comfort the agitated Du Penhong.
She thought about all the things Sheng Minghao had done for her.
He thought about Sheng Minghao's intentions and his suffering.
When they set off from the inn, there were already people who deliberately disguised themselves as her and led another group of people to the main road leading into the palace.
And now, that group of people might have already died on the way back to the palace.
"Qingyi Square…What kind of organization is this?”Du Pian Hong tried his best to calm his emotions down, then asked in a choked voice,""Why are they targeting me? I'm just an ordinary person. Why would they target me?”
"Miss, please calm down." Nainai kept caressing Du Penhong's back and said softly,""Qingyi Square is an assassination organization formed by the people of the Northern Borderline. They killed without batting an eye and were specifically against His Majesty!”
An organization that specifically went against Sheng Minghao?
An organization that kills without batting an eyelid?
Du Penhong shifted his gaze in confusion. His gaze was deep and empty, like a whirlpool that could suck people into a state of eternal damnation, making them unable to extricate themselves.
"Nainai, please, I don't want to go back to the palace.”Du Penhong turned his head, his gaze shifting from wandering to focusing on Nainai's face. When she saw Nainai's pained expression, she knew that Nainai would definitely understand the pain in her heart.
Thus, she said with trembling lips,""I've already been regarded as a murderer by everyone in the capital. I don't want to continue to be entangled with a murder organization like Qingyi Square. Nainai, please, let me go.”
Her pleas were mournful and sorrowful. Each sound hit the softest part of Nainai's heart, making her feel unbearable and hurt.
However, how could she not want to let go of this pitiful woman in her arms?
She also wanted to fulfill her wish and let her go so that she could leave the Holy Palace.
However, she knew that she could not do that!
If she did so, she would disappoint the Emperor's expectations of her.
She understood!
His Majesty needs Du Penhong!
Hence, Nainai grabbed Du Penhong's clothes tightly and said fiercely,""Du Shanhong, from the moment you agreed to His Majesty's request, everything was already irreversible! You shouldn't be retreating now, you should be facing it bravely!”Nainai reached out to straighten Du Paihong's head, then lifted the curtain to force Du Paihong to look at the outside world.
She pointed at the tall palace in the distance and said coldly,""Look, that's the Holy Palace!"
