"I don’t want to leave! I want to stay by His Majesty’s side!"

"Someone come!"

At Empress Xiao’s command, Eunuch Su led two burly eunuchs forward and escorted the shouting and struggling Noble Consort Zhuang away.

Empress Xiao’s gaze swept over Noble Consort Zhuang, Consort Shu, and Consort Yu: "You all wait outside."

Eunuch Su approached the three consorts and said, "Ladies, please." _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

Noble Consort Zhuang didn’t want to leave, but she knew her situation was now weaker than others. After King Ning’s incident, her mother no longer indulged her, and she no longer had the clout to challenge Empress Xiao.

Noble Consort Zhuang stomped out of the Sleeping Palace in a huff!

With her departure, Consort Shu and Consort Yu couldn’t very well remain where they were, and so they both reluctantly withdrew as well.

Princess Ning An came over to pay her respects to Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao looked at her injuries and asked, "What did the imperial physician say?"

Princess Ning An looked wan and replied, "It’s just a superficial wound; it’s nothing serious."

Empress Xiao asked, "What exactly happened in the Imperial Study Room? I heard there was an assassin."

Princess Ning An, with her head lowered, choked out, "Yes, an assassin... He made an attempt on Elder Brother’s life. I couldn’t stop him and Elder Brother got injured."

Empress Xiao said sternly, "You should return to Bixia Hall and take care of your injuries. I will handle the matter of the assassin."

Princess Ning An reluctantly turned back to glance at the Emperor who was still unconscious.

She also glanced at Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei quickly lowered his gaze.

Turning her face back around, Princess Ning An gave Empress Xiao a curtsey and said, "Yes."

After she left, Empress Xiao called Eunuch Wei over and asked him with a stern look, "What’s this matter with the assassin? How did one get into the Imperial Study Room, when the Emperor is supposed to be guarded by the palace’s best martial experts?"

Eunuch Wei replied, looking troubled, "There were guards, but..."

Empress Xiao frowned and said, "But what?"
