Her guards

Chapter 102 The Empress Takes Charge
"What does this have to do with me? Why are you taking me with you?"

Yang Hui let out a scream and tried to break free from the palace maids' pull.

On the other side, Liu Chan was also caught. She didn't struggle or scream; her face was pale, and she bit her lower lip, answering instead, "Because our surname is Yang..."

The palace maid said with a stern face, "Yes, you are all young ladies of the Yang family, so please do not wander around for the time being."

Without waiting for a reply, he gestured for Yang Hui to be grabbed, his expression warning.

"If Miss Yang wants to maintain her dignity, she should refrain from making any more moves."

Yang Hui felt wronged and terrified. Looking at the gloomy-faced palace women and then at the armed guards surrounding the school, she dared not struggle any longer, and tears streamed down her face.

too frightening.

That damned country maid slashed Princess Heisei's face, causing such a terrible disaster that she's going to kill her!
Princess Heicheng was immediately helped away, and Princess Wuyang and Princess Nangong were also invited to the rest room. The person who caused the huge disaster was also grabbed, dragged away, and placed under guard.

Paper and paint were scattered on the ground, along with black and red specks that were indistinguishable as to whether they were paint or blood...

"You, don't be afraid."

Yang Hui heard someone say that, turned around and saw "Liu Chan".

The other young ladies stood huddled together on the other side of the school, looking tense and fearful. The more timid ladies were crying softly.

Everyone avoids the Yang family's young lady like the plague, but this Liu Chan still came all the way here...

Jiang Rui was somewhat surprised to see the Liu family's young lady among the ladies. She had initially thought that the Liu family's young lady, who only sought to curry favor with the princess, actually had some sense of loyalty and dared to comfort the Yang family's young lady at this moment...
Yang Hui felt neither moved nor afraid. It was easy to say, but as she looked at Liu Chan, she suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, this isn't Liu Chan. This Liu Chan is that lowly maid's servant..."

We must arrest them all.

She opened her mouth to shout, but the next moment the maid looked over and glared at her fiercely.

"Miss Yang, please calm down. We don't know the outcome yet. Don't add to your guilt when you're innocent," she said coldly in a low voice.

Yang Hui shuddered, then realized, "Oh right, there's also the crime of impersonation. If it's exposed now, she'll be guilty of withholding information, and she definitely won't escape punishment. What was originally a peaceful situation will now turn into a serious one, making things even more troublesome."

Liu Chan glared at her fiercely, saying long ago that Miss Yang was muddle-headed.

"You'll be alright," Yang Luo said softly to Liu Chan, ignoring Yang Hui.

"I'm not afraid." Liu Chan nodded, her face pale but her eyes firm. "A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear."

After saying that, she looked at the woman named "Liu Chan" who used her name, and knew who this young lady was really worried about at the moment, so she couldn't help but hold the young lady's hand.

"Don't worry, I believe she won't do anything bad."

Before Yang Luo could say anything, the palace maids grew impatient.

"Stop talking."

"Come on."

Liu Chan released Yang Luo's hand, gave her a comforting look, and was taken to a nearby palace room along with Yang Hui.

Yang Luo stood there listening to the whispers behind her, her hands clenched tightly.

Yes, she knew Ah Sheng wouldn't do anything bad, but what if someone deliberately framed her for something bad?
Time passed both slowly and quickly; it seemed like a long time had passed, yet also like a fleeting moment, when shouts came from outside.

"The Empress has arrived."

With shouts and calls, the Empress strode forward, and the palace maids and eunuchs behind her had to jog to keep up.

The young ladies who accompanied the students in the school all knelt down and bowed in welcome.

Yang Luo stood at the very front, and no one blocked her way when she knelt down. With her head down, she saw a bright red cloak embroidered with phoenixes fluttering past.

Not only did he have a phoenix cloak, but he also had a light purple cloak.

At the same time, the announcement that "Consort Li has arrived" came from the side.

The Imperial Concubine has also arrived.

Yang Luo watched as footsteps passed by in a chaotic manner.

The empress did not wake her.

Where is Heisei?

Yang Luo heard a slightly hoarse female voice ask.

Footsteps were disorderly, but a palace maid led the way, saying, "Your Majesty, this way."

"The imperial physician should come in."

"The rest of you stay here."

With the Empress's voice, the school fell silent once more. The young ladies who accompanied the students knelt nervously on the ground. Yang Luo secretly looked up and saw dozens of eunuchs, maids, and palace women standing in the room, including Consort Li.

The imperial concubine stood with her maids and wives, all slender and with pale faces, occasionally wiping away tears with a handkerchief.

The Queen went to see the princess, but she didn't dare to go, which shows that the others included her in that statement.

Yang Luo lowered her gaze.

In her previous life, she never saw anyone in the palace until her death.

This time, we met the Empress and the Imperial Concubine so quickly; perhaps the Emperor will arrive soon after.

Ah Sheng had previously said that she would do the work and that she should just watch from the sidelines.

Observe these people's reactions carefully, and see where the malice comes from.

Ah Sheng always keeps his word.

Yang Luo clenched her hands tightly on her knees.

……

……

"Get up."

The Empress did not linger inside for long and soon came out, while the imperial physician remained with Princess Heisei.

The palace maids had already brought out chairs, and the Empress took her seat before allowing the kneeling ladies-in-waiting to rise.

The young ladies who accompanied Princess Heicheng dared not utter a single complaint. After all, they were there to help Princess Heicheng with her studies, and since such a serious incident had occurred to her, they could not be considered without fault.

Feeling the Empress's scrutinizing gaze sweep over them, some of the young ladies-in-waiting were so unsteady on their feet that they had to rely on their companions to keep from collapsing.

As the Empress took her seat, a palace maid was brought in by a eunuch and thrown to the ground.

The young ladies who were accompanying the students all looked over, and Yang Luo was among them. She immediately recognized her as the palace maid who had handed Ah Sheng the paintbrush and told him to give it to Princess Wu Yang.

The Queen's voice was cold: "Speak, who ordered you to hide the knife tip in the paintbrush?"

A palace maid threw a pen on the ground; the nib had been removed, and a thin blade was pulled out from it.

Bloodstains remained on the thin blade.

Is this the one that slashed Princess Heisei's face?

A young woman standing nearby saw it immediately and almost fainted. Luckily, someone was supporting her from behind, and that person even pushed forward, as if afraid she would fall.

The young woman, filled with gratitude, turned back, then paused, stunned. It was none other than Liu Chan…

The willow cicada didn't look at her, nor did it respond to her gratitude. Instead, it looked past her at the thin blade on the ground.

This Liu Chan is really bold, daring to watch the excitement at a time like this.

The companion girl lowered her head, wishing she could neither see nor hear what was to come.

Several crisp snapping sounds.

Accompanied by the cries of pain from the palace women.

Since the palace woman did not reply after the empress finished speaking, the two eunuchs standing beside her struck her hard with both hands without any hesitation.

The palace woman immediately bled from her mouth and nose, her cheeks became red and swollen, and her teeth fell out with the blow. She collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," she cried out incoherently, "It was Yang Luo, it was Yang Luo from the Duke of Ding'an's mansion who had me prepare the knife."

Upon hearing this, the female companions instantly became agitated.

They witnessed Yang Luo fall onto the princess, and the princess's face was scratched by the pen in Yang Luo's hand.

They felt uneasy, thinking it was an accident, but having grown up in a prestigious family, their intuition told them it wasn't.

really!

……

.......
Ah Sheng had previously joked that even if there was malice, it couldn't compare to a nighttime attack.

Yang Luo looked at the palace woman whose face was covered in blood.

Now Ah Sheng should know that an attack doesn't necessarily happen at night with a knife or gun.
