Chapter 114 Entering the Palace to Inquire
Chapter 114 Entering the Palace to Inquire
Inside the emperor's bedroom, lying on the bed to rest was the free and easy King Xuanyuan Tianhao. So where was the emperor? Where was Xuanyuan Tianci?
They must have been locked up in the dungeon, along with the princes. Xuanyuan Lei was outside the door, paying attention to the movements around him.
Wang Jingru pushed open the door carefully, and saw Xuanyuan Tianhao lying on the luxurious bed in a disgraceful manner.
He was sleeping soundly, snoring one after another. And beside his pillow, there was a beautiful woman lying on her side.
Wang Jingru's eyes slowly swept across the bedroom, and she couldn't help but marvel at the extremely luxurious furnishings.
Each item exudes an air of expense and refinement, as if showing off the owner's identity and status to the world.
Her eyes flashed with greed as she began to look at these precious treasures.
She approached the bed cautiously and reached out for those exciting objects.
Each treasure is so unique that people can't put it down.
Wang Jingru secretly felt fortunate that she had a magical space that could hold so many good things.
She waved her fingers lightly, using her special ability to collect all the rare items in the bedroom into the space one by one.
As the treasures disappeared before her eyes one by one, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
However, just as she was feeling smug, a slight noise caught her attention.
Her nerves tensed up instantly, her body shook slightly, she turned her head alertly, and her eyes scanned the surroundings like an eagle.
However, when his eyes fell on the bed, he couldn't help but feel astonished - Xuanyuan Tianhao had woken up without him knowing when!
At this moment, Xuanyuan Tianhao was staring at him with a pair of extremely sharp eyes, and that look seemed to be able to penetrate a person's soul.
Wang Jingru's heart tightened, she knew very well that the situation was very critical. He did not dare to let Xuanyuan Queen make any sound, so as not to attract the attention of the guards outside.
So he rushed to the bed at an astonishing speed, like a gust of wind.
Queen Xuanyuan reacted extremely quickly. Almost the moment Wang Jingru approached, she quickly raised her body, grabbed the sword beside her and confronted Wang Jingru.
The sword blade flashed with cold light, revealing a heart-pounding pressure.
However, Wang Jingru did not intend to engage in a fierce battle with Xuanyuan Tianhao.
She knew very well that if Xuanyuan Tianhao made a noise and attracted the guards outside, the situation would become out of control.
She had to stay calm and find a safer solution.
Because as a woman, Wang Jingru possesses extraordinary skills and wisdom.
He believed that he could fully cope with the current crisis with his own abilities.
Without relying on external assistance, facing Xuanyuan Tianhao's vigilance and hostility, he decided to adopt a gentle and clever strategy to resolve this tense confrontation.
Wang Jingru decided to put Xuanyuan Tianhao into the space so that he could not make any sound.
Besides, the secret of my space has been exposed. He discovered it when I was packing things just now.
It must be put into space and never allowed to appear in the world again.
Wang Jingru acted much faster than she expected. While she was still thinking, her hands and feet had already started moving.
He used his Qinggong skills to quickly climb up. Xuanyuan Tianhao saw Wang Jingru's hand reaching out to him and thought she liked him.
He didn't take it seriously, nor did he take Wang Jingru seriously. Such a weak girl didn't look like she had any killing power.
Maybe Xuanyuan Tianhao was a little too conceited. When Wang Jingru's hand touched Xuanyuan Tianhao, Xuanyuan Tianhao reached out to grab Wang Jingru's hand.
Their hands touched each other, and as soon as the hand touched Wang Jingru's, before he could hold it tightly, he disappeared from the spot.
After Wang Jingru put Xuanyuan Tianhao into the space, she felt relieved and she was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Wang Jingru wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and looked towards the bed. The woman there had also woken up.
The woman was staring at Wang Jingru with her big eyes, frightening her so much that she dared not move. She saw Xuanyuan Tianhao disappear in front of her in an instant.
She was so scared that she didn't dare to move. Wang Jingru didn't hesitate and immediately put the woman into the space.
Wang Jingru then felt relieved and looked around the house to see if there were any valuables. She searched the house thoroughly and put all the valuables into the space.
Wang Jingru slowly walked out of the emperor's bedroom, and Xuanyuan Lei was still anxiously watching outside.
As soon as he saw Wang Jingru coming out, Xuanyuan Lei immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation? Is the Emperor in there?"
Wang Jingru shook her head gently and responded in a low voice: "There is only Xuanyuan Tianhao hugging a woman inside." There was a hint of disappointment and helplessness in her tone.
Then, Wang Jingru described the scene in detail: "When I sneaked into the room, Xuanyuan Tianhao was still sleeping soundly.
When I was carefully putting those precious treasures into the space, he happened to wake up at this time and witnessed everything. "
Faced with the sudden change, Wang Jingru acted decisively and quickly took Xuanyuan Tianhao and the woman in his arms into the space.
This series of actions happened so quickly that it caught people off guard.
Afterwards, the two decided to go to the dungeon again. However, the situation this time was completely different from before.
The dungeon was heavily guarded, apparently because the emperor was imprisoned there.
The guards patrolled closely, and their large numbers made it almost impossible for them to hide, let alone find a suitable hiding place.
The two had no choice but to retreat temporarily, but they were unwilling to give up and decided to go to other places to see if the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace were still there. If so, they would take as much as they could.
When they arrived at the warehouse of the palace, they saw dozens of soldiers stationed outside the door.
Such strict guarding makes people wonder if there must be a large amount of gold, silver and treasures hidden in the warehouse.
Wang Jingru thought, since I'm already here, I must not return empty-handed.
So Wang Jingru took out the drug without hesitation and threw it into the wind. The drug quickly spread and soon reached the soldiers at the door.
They fell down one after another, and soon everyone was unconscious.
Xuanyuan Lei quietly hid in the dark and watched in case someone came in this direction, while Wang Jingru was responsible for entering the warehouse to pack up things.
As she put the treasures into her own space, she exclaimed: "This place is indeed worthy of being a royal palace! These gold, silver and jewels are all exquisite."
Wang Jingru became more and more excited as she collected more, and secretly thanked God that her trip was not in vain.
However, just as she was concentrating on collecting treasures, suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came into her ears...
Wang Jingru sped up her pace, and the items in the warehouse disappeared one by one. Soon, the warehouse became empty. There was nothing left inside, only a cold and empty warehouse.
At the same time, Xuanyuan Lei was outside closely watching the movements around him.
He was keenly aware of the approach of a suspicious person, so he took decisive action, took a detour early to subdue and eliminate the person.
After finishing everything, Xuanyuan Lei returned to the warehouse, but when he stepped in, he was surprised to find that it was empty and all the things were gone.
Xuanyuan Lei knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he quickly pulled Wang Jingru up and prepared to leave this place of trouble.
Although it is relatively easy to deal with one or two enemies, there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the entire palace. If they attack in groups, the consequences will be disastrous.
Wang Jingru also understood that since she had already ventured here, she had to go to the prison to check it out no matter what.
Otherwise, not only would this opportunity be wasted, but it would also be almost impossible to sneak into the palace again next time.
Once they discover the warehouse has been robbed tomorrow, the security will be even tighter.
So the two of them carefully went around to the prison.
Wang Jingru quietly took out the smoke that she had prepared long ago, and then gently put the smoke deep into the prison. As the smoke slowly spread, the guards in the prison fell into a coma one after another...
After a few minutes, they estimated that everyone inside had fainted, so they dared to step inside and cover their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.
Going further inside, we found the emperor being held in the innermost cell.
Xuanyuan Lei took a look and saw that his uncle was in a miserable state. His dragon robe had been stripped off and he was only wearing thin underwear, and his body was covered in dirt.
Xuanyuan Lei searched the entire prison but still couldn't find his cousins.
He didn't dare to imagine whether these people had met with any misfortune.
Time was running out, so Wang Jingru immediately took the person into the space. The two of them then left the cell and ran back the way they came.
When he ran to the vicinity of the cold palace, he saw that there was no one around, so he quickly threw out a rope and hung it on the wall, then used his lightness skills to climb up.
This series of movements was as natural and smooth as flowing water, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.
However, even after successfully escaping from the palace, Wang Jingru still did not feel at ease.
Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety about the unknown, not knowing what kind of dangers and challenges she would encounter next.
The two men ran towards the city gate again and escaped from behind the gate using a rope.
Along the way, they carefully avoided the pursuit of the palace guards and did not dare to relax at all.
When they were almost back to the military camp, they released the emperor and dragged him onto the horse's back.
At this time, the emperor was still in a coma and unconscious.
The two returned to the military camp, and the emperor slowly woke up.
When the emperor saw the environment of the military camp, he was completely confused. He had no idea where he was, let alone who brought him here.
But when he woke up, he was obviously in a strange mood.
Xuanyuan Lei didn't have time to pay attention to these details. Besides, he was a careless person. How could he observe things so meticulously?
Seeing that his uncle the emperor had finally woken up, Xuanyuan Lei hurriedly asked people to prepare hot water for the emperor to wash, and at the same time arranged for someone to bathe and change clothes for the emperor.
The emperor was very excited when he saw Xuanyuan Lei and his brother Xuanyuan Yihao.
The tears flowed down in pairs, expressing both the relief after escaping death and the longing for their loved ones.
When the emperor finished washing and walked out, there was a table full of sumptuous food in front of him.
However, at this moment, the emperor had long lost his former noble and elegant dining image.
He ate voraciously, as if he had been hungry for days. Some rice grains even got on his face, but he didn't notice it at all.
It seems that he must have suffered a lot of hardship and torture in prison.
After the emperor finished his meal, someone wiped his body before he sat down.
The emperor clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, his face was distorted, and his eyes were filled with endless hatred and anger.
"If I don't take revenge, I'm not a gentleman! I will tear Xuanyuan He into pieces! How dare he occupy the palace and try to become emperor? It's just a foolish dream!"
There was a slight tremor in the emperor's voice, as if every word was squeezed out from between his teeth.
When the emperor thought of his children, tears flowed like a dam breaking.
"My four sons are so pitiful. They were all brutally murdered by that abominable little beast Xuanyuan He!"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt distressed. He could not suppress his sorrow and started to cry. His cry echoed in the palace, and everyone could not help but be moved.
Xuanyuan Yihao gently patted his brother's back and comforted him, "Brother, we will definitely take revenge. Avenge my dead nephews."
While they were in grief, the emperor's three daughters came to the outside of the military camp.
The soldier came to report that there were three princesses outside, asking to see him. The emperor stopped grieving, because he had three more daughters.
Prince Gong immediately ordered the soldiers to bring the three princesses here.
Soon, the three princesses came in. They were in a very miserable state, but fortunately they had no danger along the way and arrived at the military camp smoothly.
The three maids were in an even more miserable state than the three princesses. Not only did they have to travel quickly, they also had to take care of the three princesses.
When the three princesses saw the emperor, they ran over and hugged him and cried, woooo woooo... The three princesses cried so hard that it shook the heavens and the earth and made the gods and ghosts weep.
They were finally safe, and they were so frightened that they could not sleep at night and took shortcuts during the day.
The three princesses are safe, and are telling the emperor about the sufferings they have endured these days!
Wang Jingru came, and when the three princesses saw her, they pounced on her like hungry wolves.
How could Wang Jingru let them pounce on her, so she dodged to the side, and the three princesses missed and fell to the ground.
They stood up in embarrassment, pointed at Wang Jingru and cursed, "Wang Jingru, you are a piece of shit, are you a beast?"
You left the three of us on the road. Do you know how much suffering we have endured along the way? Wang Jingru covered her nose and took a few steps back.
He said, no matter what happens, you should wash up, change into clean clothes, and then come out to talk!
You are all rotten, you stink! The three princesses were so angry that their faces turned red. They smelled themselves and found that they were indeed very stinky, and they felt sick when they smelled it.
The three of them left the tent angrily and went to the tent that Xuanyuan Lei had prepared for them. When they left, they pointed at Wang Jingru and said, "Wait, I'll deal with you later."
