On another side, the death warrior was successfully lured away by the sound of the flute and used his qinggong to arrive at the artificial rockery where Xiao Liulang was.
He was wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes that were colder and more bloodthirsty than ordinary a.s.sa.s.sins.
He landed steadily in front of Xiao Liulang and looked him up and down.
When Xiao Liulang was a child, he had seen Princess Xinyang summon the death warrior of the late Emperor with the sound of a flute, which was the same piece of music he had just played.
There was no one else around here, and his music wasn’t loud, so only the late Emperor's death warriors should have heard it.
At first, he was a little worried that he might play it wrong, but it seemed to be correct.
However, why was he the only one? Could it be that the rest of them were not in the palace?
The death warriors of the late Emperor in his memory wore a mask like this, and also had the same terrifying aura.
They wouldn’t indiscriminately kill anyone outside of their mission, especially those who didn’t know martial arts, unless they were obstructed during the mission.
Xiao Liulang understood that as long as he did not provoke him, this death warrior wouldn’t harm him.
His eyes were full of puzzlement and curiosity.
Xiao Liulang allowed him to scrutinize him openly.
After a moment, as if to verify something, Xiao Liulang said to him, "Could you please help me pluck the leaves on my head?"
But the other party just turned away without looking back!
Xiao Liulang let out a sigh.
Originally, he had some wishful thinking that he could summon and command the death warriors with his music, but it seemed that he was thinking too much.
Princess Xinyang was able to control the late Emperor's death warrior not because of this song, but because she was the new master pa.s.sed down to them by the late Emperor.
This death warrior probably thought he was being summoned by his former master when he heard the song, but when he arrived and found that he was neither the late Emperor nor the reigning Emperor, he turned and left!
Well, he could only delay for such a short time.
Gu Jiao dragged someone into the small dark house in the vicinity of Taiye Lake. Just as she threw the person in and was about to unleash her violent snowflakes-like fists, a terrifying and familiar aura approached.
Oh no!
So fast, was he already back?
She hadn't even started beating people yet!
Overlord Gu Jiao scratched her head frantically, picked up the sack, and kicked it into Taiye Lake!
Then she ran away chirping!
Several palace maids in the imperial garden finally realized that Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing was missing. They searched everywhere and even alarmed the Emperor.
By the time the Emperor rushed over from the imperial study, Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing had already been pulled out of the water by the death warrior and taken back to her bedchamber in Huaqing Palace.
"Imperial concubine mother!"
The Emperor hurried to Huaqing Palace, heading straight to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's bedchamber, but was stopped by Grannie Cai outside, "Your Majesty, please wait! Imperial concubine dowager is changing clothes!"
The Emperor anxiously asked, "What happened? Why did imperial concubine mother suddenly disappear?"
Grannie Cai felt distressed and panicked as she said, "This... This servant isn’t too sure either. Let us wait until we ask imperial concubine dowager about it!"
The Emperor said with a cold voice, "Why are you not sure? Weren't you serving imperial concubine mother by her side?"
Grannie Cai said aggrievedly, "This servant was originally by imperial concubine dowager’s side, but a little palace maid accidentally burned her hand. Imperial concubine dowager was kind-hearted, so she let this servant take the little palace maid back to Huaqing Palace to apply medicine on her hands. This servant couldn't have predicted that Imperial Concubine Dowager would fall into the water in the short time that this servant was away!"
"Fell into the water?" The Emperor frowned.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's painful cries came from inside, and Grannie Cai hurriedly said, "Imperial concubine dowager is all drenched! This servant will go in first to serve imperial concubine dowager. This servant takes her leave!"
Grannie Cai turned around and entered Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's bedchamber.
Soon, the imperial physician also arrived. The imperial physician was about to bow to the Emperor, but the Emperor impatiently waved his hand and said, "Quickly go in!"
The imperial physician was so frightened that he trembled and quickly entered with his medicine box.
The Emperor waited anxiously outside the bedchamber for nearly half an hour before Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing was ready.
"Your Majesty." Grannie Cai came out with red eyes and invited the Emperor inside.
The Emperor quickly went to the bed and sat down beside Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, who was sitting at the head of the bed with a pale face, a swollen nose, and a large bandage wrapped around her head. His heart ached at the sight.
He looked coldly at Grannie Cai and asked, "Didn't you say she just fell into the water? How did she get injured like this?!"
This was such a serious injury!
This wasn’t even close to being the full extent of her injuries. It was just the tip of the iceberg.
Although Gu Jiao didn't have time to act, on the way when dragging her into the small dark house, Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing hit her head on the steps seven or eight times, and her b.u.t.tocks were sc.r.a.ped on the cobblestones one hundred and eighty times. The sack was worn out, and so did her pants. It was a b.l.o.o.d.y mess!
She hit her knees three times, her arms five times, and her old waist was. .h.i.t dozens of times...
To suffer such injuries at her age, if she didn't have martial arts, she would have died long ago!
But even with martial arts, she was still gravely injured!
She couldn't move at all, and every movement caused excruciating pain throughout her body.
Grannie Cai knelt down and choked with sobs, "This servant… This servant also thought it was just a simple fall into the water… This servant..."
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing weakly said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Grannie Cai. Your Majesty, please do not blame her."
She wasn’t pretending to be weak right now.
She was truly weak and could collapse at any moment.
"All of you, withdraw." Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing told Grannie Cai and the palace servants in the room.
Grannie Cai and her group looked nervously at the Emperor, fearing that he would punish them. The Emperor coldly waved his hand and they retreated with relief.
"How can the palace servants be so incapable?" The Emperor murmured through gritted teeth.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing raised her arm, which was almost broken by the pain, and lightly placed her hand on the back of the Emperor's hand, shaking her head and saying, "It's not their fault. The other party was too strong."
The Emperor asked, "What about the death warriors and the dark guards that Zhen left for imperial concubine mother?"
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing replied, "The death warrior was led away, and the hidden guards were knocked unconscious."
"These people are imperial experts who are highly skilled!" The Emperor gasped, "Who could be so powerful?"
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing shook her head, "I'm not sure either. At the time, I just felt something was off, but I failed to get a good look at the other party before they... hurt me." She didn't want to admit she had been shoved into a sack, not wanting to lose any face. "That person took me to the vicinity of Taiye Lake. If it wasn't for the death warrior returning in time and scaring the person off, I might have come to a bad end. That person even knew to throw me into the water, forcing the death warrior to jump in and save me, allowing them to escape."
"So ruthless… So vicious!" The Emperor clenched his fists, shaking with anger.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing lowered her head and withdrew her hand, forcing a bitter smile, "I… Did I cause trouble for Your Majesty? If I hadn't suddenly returned to the palace, none of this would have happened."
