When the carriage team arrived at the outer gate of the palace, they slowly stopped. Mary's carriage was at the back. She subconsciously lifted the curtain slightly with her hand to check the situation outside. She found that there were some noble carriages in front of their team, carrying noble women who were going to enter the palace. It seemed that they wanted to have relationships with Zhang Wei's harem.

Just as Mary was about to lower the curtains, the following situation made her adrenaline surge instantly. She was surprised to find that the imperial guards actually searched every noble woman who got off the car!

Although the imperial guards in charge of body searches were also women, this was undoubtedly an insult to noble women. However, Mary discovered that not a single noble woman expressed any objection, or made any complaints, or even dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction. This shows how terrible the status and power of the Tang Emperor's imperial guards were on a daily basis!

Mary was surprised at the reactions of those noble women the previous second, but then she thought that she might also be searched. Seeing that those imperial guards did not even spare her private parts, the fruit knife she placed on the inside of her thigh could not escape the inspection at all!

Mary was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth, took out the fruit knife, and then looked for a place to hide the fruit knife in the carriage.

Soon after Mary finished, it was their turn to be inspected. The men were inspected by male guards, while Mary was inspected by a female guard.

The female guard examined Mary's body very carefully with an expressionless face, and even put her hands into her bra and panties to check. The inexperienced Mary blushed instantly, but when she saw the expression of the female guard as if she had done nothing, she could only grit her teeth and bear it.

Not long after Mary and others left, some people not wearing uniforms came to Mary's car. They had a clear division of labor: one person got on the car to check it, while the others were responsible for checking the outside of the vehicle and the horses.

Not long after, the man who got on the bus got off with a fruit knife. He excitedly showed it to his companions, "Found it. It's the one that was lost in room 508. There's even a number on it!"

The leading man took the fruit knife and carefully examined the numbers on the handle and scabbard. After confirming that they were correct, he handed the fruit knife back to his men and ordered, "Put it back where it was and keep an eye on it. There are orders from above that we must not alert the enemy before we identify the mastermind behind it."

It can only be said that Mary was too lucky. The intelligence organization of the Tang Empire has always been vigilant against her, but because they suspected that there might be a dark dragon behind her, they never dared to take action easily. Otherwise, Mary would have been arrested on the spot as early as the moment she stole the fruit knife.

Mary, who lost her fruit knife, had a confused mind on her way into the palace, as if her soul had left her body and was floating in the depths of the universe.

Her heart was filled with anxiety and fear, and she could not let go of the worry of whether the fruit knife hidden in the carriage would be discovered, and the possible consequences - her arrest and punishment. Therefore, she could not concentrate on appreciating the magnificent palace in front of her, but just followed the team mechanically.

It was not until she entered the hall that Mary regained consciousness. However, what she saw shocked her: the ministers still insisted on abolishing the Dark Dragon Knights, and seemed to be completely unafraid of the Dark Dragon's wrath. The reason for all this was the red-haired girl standing next to Emperor Zhang Wei.

As everyone knows, due to the existence of the Crimson Dragon, the Dark Dragon dared not set foot into the secondary capital.

Since it dare not appear, why should people be afraid? So, when the female official announced the court session, the ministers could not wait to launch a fierce attack, accusing the Dark Dragon Knights of having been eliminated by history and occupying too many strategic resources of the Tang Empire. In contrast, the development of Pegasus Knights has obvious advantages.

Mary listened to the ministers' impassioned speeches and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This is simply a wonderful performance! They described the Dark Dragon Knight as a heinous criminal who should have been abandoned long ago.

If Mary didn't have other plans that required her to use the identity of the Dark Dragon Knight to approach Zhang Wei and carry out the assassination, she really wouldn't have been able to help but applaud enthusiastically and give these ministers a thumbs up.

Just then, Zhang Wei finally spoke.

"Okay." His voice was calm, firm, and full of authority.

As soon as Zhang Wei opened his mouth, the ministers who had been speaking passionately shut up immediately, as if they were under a spell. One of the censors almost choked on his own saliva, but fortunately, he had trained himself to be a silver tongue, so even though his face turned red, he did not make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

"Have the representatives of the Dark Dragon Knights arrived?" Zhang Wei asked, looking around. The female officer hurried forward and pointed at several Dark Dragon Knights standing nearby.

"You guys tell us about it." Zhang Wei looked at the men and said. One of the Dark Dragon Knights stepped forward, straightened his back, and began to speak passionately. He told about the Dark Dragon Knights' experiences with Zhang Wei, from their initial encounter, to their subsequent side-by-side battles, to their brilliant achievements and their absolute loyalty to Zhang Wei.

Every word was filled with passion and pride, allowing those present to feel their deep-seated beliefs and persistence.

Although the Dark Dragon Knight spoke very logically, Mary keenly noticed that some of the ministers present had begun to yawn, and even Zhang Wei himself showed a bit of impatience.

As expected, when the Dark Dragon Knight finished his statement, Zhang Wei's tone revealed a hint of annoyance. He asked, "Is there anything else you want to add?"

Mary clearly felt that in an instant, all the ministers present focused their attention on their group of dark dragon knights who had not yet spoken.

These gazes contained a variety of emotions, some were encouraging, some were watching a show, some were full of sarcasm, and others hoped that there would be no more additions.

At this moment, Mary took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

At this moment, she knew in her heart that if she lost her identity as the Dark Dragon Knight, she would no longer be able to have any contact with Zhang Wei, let alone complete her arduous task - to assassinate Zhang Wei.

Therefore, the most sensible choice for her at the moment is to step forward and do her best to preserve the Dark Dragon Knight's position in the Tang Empire. Only in this way can she have a chance to get close to Zhang Wei and achieve her goal.
