The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 261 Will There Be Life Harm
Initially thinking those words would please the emperor, but did not notice that Kang Yong's face was getting worse. A strong smell of blood spread within the room. The emperor's expression began to crumble, staring at Qin Ruojiu – whose life was in danger – on the bed, then said casually, “At the moment, I just want to know who sent those assassins, I'll make them pay a painful price.”
Those cold and heartless words mixed with a trace of anger, the anger that made teeth clench suddenly made Zhao Yuanran who was beside shiver in fear.
Oi! I am an article!
After a while, he forced himself to calm down.
Then with a trembling body looking around with a frightened look, then muttering, “Replying Emperor, the concubine has sent people to investigate.”
Emperor Zhaolie did not see it, only snorted, gritted his teeth, held back a trace of anger then said heartlessly, “Come Zhuo Ying here.”
“It's so late .. Emperor ...”
Oi! I am an article!
Looking at the night outside, Zhao Yuanran was obviously a little displeased, but could not say it directly, could only stutter, wanting to undo Emperor Zhaolie's thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhaolie was angry, a deep and sharp anger appeared in his eyes, “My rule, you didn't hear it?”
“Good, Emperor! Concubine leave immediately!” Right now, Zhao Yuanran was frightened to the point of immediately standing up and running in panic.
After Zhao Yuanran left, Emperor Zhaolie's gentle gaze landed on the bed again.
His eyes were closed, there was no trace of life. When thinking that he might leave here, he could not help but feel a strong feeling of fear in his heart, unable to resist trembling.
Under the black veil, Qin Ruojiu's face was as pale as paper, under the dim light of the candle, there were many bright red blood spots on her lips, neck, and bed. He immediately ordered the servant to bring him hot water, then he wet the handkerchief, squeezed it, gently wiped the bloodstain on the corner of his lips, causing an indescribable pain in his heart.
When she finished, she looked at the beautiful face until daydreaming.
Thinking of the pain it brought to her, her heart was like being gnawed at by insects and ants, hatred and pain made her mind fall apart. In the next second, it may not be able to control, shed hot tears in depression.
After a while, there was a strange sound outside the palace.
Next followed the sound of Zhuo Ying's steady and powerful footsteps.
He was in armor, looking extremely energetic, compared to the disappointment and chaos of Emperor Zhaolie, he was more like a king.
Emperor Zhaolie unintentionally raised his hand, wiping away the tears from his eyes, coldly said to Zhuo Ying, “You came!”
“Bawahan facing the Emperor, what did the Emperor tell the commander to come here?”
Zhuo Ying knelt down on one leg, his face full of earnestness. As his eyes slowly crossed over onto the soft bed in the silk tent, it solidified for a moment.
Emperor Zhaolie stood expressionless, his eyes shining with firmness, “There was a murderous attack on the palace, and the Queen was wounded. I command you to quickly find the killer, tomorrow you must report it to me!”
“Good!” Hearing the injured queen, Zhuo Ying's straight shoulders trembled slightly, there was a hint of worry and an uneasy feeling in his heart, secretly feeling sad. What happened to the queen? Will there be a danger of life? It was a pity that this worry could only be kept in the depths of his heart, he could not say it.
“Go!” Emperor Zhaolie could answer in a sad voice that he had never heard before.
