Chapter 332 Breaking into the Imperial Study at Night

At midnight, everything was silent and the entire capital was shrouded in darkness, with only a faint moonlight shining on the earth.

Two masked men in black clothes were like ghosts. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they rushed towards the palace like a gust of wind.

They were moving extremely fast, as if there was wind under their feet. Every step was light and quick, without making any sound.

The figure was looming in the darkness, and the occasional shadow it cast was like a night owl passing by, fleeting and without alerting anyone.

The two dark figures circled the palace wall for a long time, seemingly searching for a suitable entrance. Finally, they stopped at a place with tall trees. The huge shade of the trees was like a huge umbrella, covering most of the path outside the palace wall.

The shadows paused briefly, seemingly observing their surroundings. Then, one of them embraced the other petite figure and suddenly leaped onto the palace wall, as light as a kite.

His movements were quick and agile, without causing the slightest noise. With the help of the shadows of the trees, he climbed over the palace wall as quickly as a ghost and entered the interior of the palace.

One of the shadows whispered, "Girl, follow the blind man closely. The person we are looking for is still inside."

Ru Yue nodded to show that she understood, and at the same time she told Blind Tang to remember her words. If he was discovered, he should ignore her and just run away.

Ru Yue knew very well that although she had no ability to escape, her ability to hide was unmatched.

She only needs a thought to hide in her own space in an instant. Even if a great immortal comes, he will never be able to find her trace.

Taking advantage of the swaying shadows of the trees and the shadows of the palace walls, they carefully made many turns and cleverly avoided the guards in the palace. Finally, after some twists and turns, they arrived near the imperial study.

It is said that after the crown prince left the capital, Emperor Mingde seemed to have lost his backbone. He was depressed all day long and even refused to set foot in his bedroom.

He completely immersed himself in the busy affairs of state. After handling government affairs, he no longer returned to the palace to rest, but stayed directly where he handled government affairs.

At the same time, Marquis Wu'an also stayed by Emperor Mingde's side, guarding him every step of the way.

On both sides of the imperial study, a team of fully armed guards stood in neat rows. They had expressionless faces and stood still like statues.

The positions of these guards seemed very strange. Their distribution was not to protect the emperor's safety, but rather seemed to be guarding something.

Ru Yue stood in the distance, observing all this quietly, a wave of worry welling up in her heart. With such strict guards, how on earth could she possibly get into the imperial study?

Just as she was racking her brains for a solution, Blind Tang suddenly made a move. He casually retracted his right hand, but at that moment, a small stone appeared in his hand.

Blind Tang's movements were extremely quick and covert, and almost no one noticed his action.

He flicked his wrist and threw the small stone to his left front like a meteor.

This subtle sound seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet environment and immediately alerted the guards.

The guards reacted extremely quickly. Their eyes were like lightning, instantly locking onto the source of the sound. They walked towards that direction without hesitation, ready to find out what was going on.

Just as the guards' attention was drawn there, the door of the imperial study was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

A tall figure, as straight as a pine tree, walked out from the door.

His appearance was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, shocking everyone.

This figure was obviously disturbed by the noise outside. He was furious and cursed the guards mercilessly: "You blind dogs! Don't you know that the emperor is resting? If you disturb the emperor, even if you have ten heads, they will not be enough to chop off! Get out of here now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his arm, and the object in his hand flew out like a meteor, smashing straight forward.

Although the distance was not far, the sound of the thing breaking through the air was extremely harsh. Even though Ru Yue was standing a little further away, she could still clearly hear a few dull collisions, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one outside the imperial study, as if the scene just now had never happened.

However, the muffled sounds and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground echoed in Ru Yue's ears for a long time, making her feel a little uneasy.

At this moment, Blind Tang seemed to come to his senses and hurriedly took Ru Yue into the imperial study. As soon as she entered the imperial study, Ru Yue felt a tense atmosphere coming towards her.

Emperor Mingde sat upright on the dragon throne, his face seemingly calm, yet his trembling fingers and furrowed brow betrayed his inner anxiety. When his gaze fell on Ru Yue, the urgency and worry that washed over him was like a flood bursting through a dam, impossible to conceal.

Seeing this, Ru Yue did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. She hurried forward a few steps, knelt down and paid her respects to Emperor Mingde.

Time was running out, and Emperor Mingde obviously had no time to care about these red tape. He quickly stood up from the dragon throne, walked forward, and helped Ru Yue up.

"No need to be so polite, just stand up and talk." Although Emperor Mingde's voice was low, the urgency contained in it was obvious.

Emperor Mingde took a deep breath, gathered his composure, and asked directly, "What happened on your way back to the capital? Tell us quickly!"

Ru Yue did not dare to hide anything and told the whole story of how they encountered the commander of the imperial guards, Yu Zhaolin, who falsely conveyed the imperial edict on their way back to the capital, and how the prince almost lost his life.

The more Emperor Mingde listened, the angrier he became, especially when he learned that Yu Zhaolin had dared to forge an imperial edict and attempted to murder the prince. He was so angry that he trembled all over and his hair stood on end.

"Yu Zhaolin is so bold!" Emperor Mingde roared in rage. "He is deceiving the emperor and committing a heinous crime! I will execute his entire family and exterminate all nine generations of his clan!"

"Your Majesty, calm down! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely blessed. He must have escaped danger this time. Not only that, he also successfully captured Yu Zhaolin! In this way, no matter how Your Majesty wants to punish him in the future, it will be natural and understandable!" Seeing that Emperor Mingde was furious, Ru Yue hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

Marquis Wu'an, standing by, knew Emperor Mingde's temper all too well. Hearing Ru Yue's words, he quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is blessed with good fortune, and he will surely be able to escape this danger. However, I wonder what the situation is like outside right now?"

When Ru Yue saw Marquis Wu'an asking questions, she told him everything she knew.

Upon learning that the Crown Prince and Chu Ning'an were both safe and sound, and that they were just outside the city and unable to return to the palace for the time being, Marquis Wu'an felt a little relieved.

However, he couldn't help but look at the seemingly weak girl in front of him with a different eye.

You know, the Crown Prince and Chu Ning'an were both from aristocratic families with noble status. But now, they both have to rely on such a little girl to accomplish great things. This is really unbelievable.

Marquis Wu'an couldn't help but wonder inwardly, was it that he and Emperor Mingde, as fathers, had failed to teach their son well, or should it be said that this little girl was gifted and unique?

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Blind Tang speak: "Your Majesty, Lord Marquis, do you have anything to say to the Crown Prince and Lord Chu? They are still waiting outside the city for your instructions. Time is running out, and we can't delay! Besides, the young lady has important matters to attend to outside the palace later, so we can't delay either."

While they were talking, suddenly, a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps was heard outside the imperial study.

The sound was like a violent storm, making people feel nervous.

It was obvious that there were a large number of people coming and they were walking in a hurry, as if something urgent was happening.

When the people in the room heard the footsteps, their faces instantly became serious.

Although they knew in their hearts that these people did not dare to act recklessly under the nose of Emperor Mingde, once they surrounded the imperial study, Ru Yue and others would probably be unable to escape.

Faced with this sudden situation, Emperor Mingde and Marquis Wu'an began to panic. They realized the situation was urgent and needed to take action quickly. So, Emperor Mingde hurriedly handed the letter he had already written to Ru Yue and spoke a few words in a low voice.

Ru Yue took the letter. Although she felt a little nervous, she followed Emperor Mingde's instructions without hesitation and hid in the back hall with Blind Tang.
