Chapter 111: Disaster is Here

Mo Lian quickly entered, and his mind relaxed when he saw his mother was safe and smiling. He walked forward, lifted his robes, and knelt down. “Royal Mother.”

“My son, hurry and get up.” Queen Zhao stepped forward to help him up personally in a haste. “Child, look at you. You mustn’t have rested well while you were busy outside. Your face has thinned greatly.”

Mo Lian glanced at his mother, exasperated, and helped her sit down. “Royal Mother, did anything happen in the palace these past two days?”

“Everything is fine with Her Majesty. Don’t worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince.” Queen Zhao’s personal elderly female attendant handed her a cup of tea with a smile before retreating a few steps and standing behind the queen.

“Yes yes. Everything here is fine with Mother.” Queen Zhao continued with a smile, “Child, you returned covered in dust, you must be very tired. You should return to the Eastern Palace and rest first. The two of us can talk tomorrow, it’s not urgent. Look at you, there are dark circles under your eyes. You must have traveled day and night, right?”

Mother and son were conversing when a sharp scream and a rush of footsteps were heard from outside the palace. A junior eunuch scrambled inside and started furiously kowtowing as soon as he saw them. He shouted with tears streaking down his face, “Help, Your Majesty! Help, Your Majesty!”

Queen Zhao’s dignified and elegant face immediately darkened, and she reprimanded, full of displeasure, “Who are you? You dare to trespass into the Central Palace.”

Without needing an order from the queen, the notified royal patrol guards had already burst inside with sabers drawn and spears raised, surrounding the junior eunuch who intruded into Queen Zhao’s bedchamber without permission. The unfortunate soul was sent shivering into fear.

“Spare me, Your Majesty. Spare me, Your Majesty.” The junior eunuch kowtowed loudly.

“Your Majesty, this is Xiao’en’zi who serves Noble Consort Zheng,” the elderly maid whispered to her mistress, Queen Zhao.

Hearing this, Queen Zhao turned even more displeased. She was having a perfectly fine conversation with her son, but a rabid dog from somewhere started barking nonstop upon entering. It really spoiled people’s appetite!

“Xiao’en’zi, why did you run here and make a commotion instead of serving your mistress in Sophora Flower Palace?”

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!” Xiao’en’zi kowtowed furiously like a bobblehead while weeping bitterly, “Something odd suddenly happened to a junior royal maid. She is immensely strong and started choking people at first sight. She has already choked three royal maids and eunuchs to death in succession, and the people who were killed all quickly turned strange just like her and started bringing mayhem to the other people in Sophora Flower Palace. The royal guards who were passing by are about to lose control over them! I, the inferior one, escaped at the risk of my life to seek help from Your Majesty!”

Shock entered Mo Lian’s heart. With raised brows, he straightforwardly asked, “That junior royal maid was mutated from a corpse, right?”

It could not be any more ordinary for a few junior eunuchs and junior royal maids to die in the royal palace every day.

This especially applied to that particular consort in Sophora Flower Palace. Relying on the doting affection of Royal Father, she typically strutted around ostentatiously. It was extremely common for her to order the beating and killing of the royal maids or eunuchs around her for the slightest misdeeds.

Xiao’en’zi was shocked and buried his head to his chest without speaking.

Queen Zhao’s gaze turned severe, and she slapped the sandalwood low table as she harshly demanded, “Did you not hear Crown Prince’s question?”

Xiao’en’zi was easily scared and confessed everything in a few words. The abnormal junior royal maid was the dress and make-up maid who was flogged to death on the order of Noble Consort Zheng this morning. They originally intended to drag her out at noon and bury her at a random place before this unforeseen event occurred unexpectedly.

“Huifeng,” the crown prince quietly called.

A youth in black with sword brows and bright eyes immediately appeared next to the crown prince and bowed. “Your Highness.”

“Quickly bring 20 Dragon Saliva Guards to Sophora Flower Palace to handle it. You mustn’t allow this situation to spread,” the crown prince coldly ordered.

An ill omen lingered in his heart. He feared this unforeseen event… would eventually spread.
