Chapter 651: Chapter 651: To Call for Help or Not

Bai Junjun had not expected the Dowager Consorts to recognize her at a glance. Just as she was about to smile and greet them, she saw several monks emerge from behind the Dowager Consorts, apparently aiming to capture them to threaten her.

There was no way Bai Junjun would let them succeed.

She immediately lifted her sleeve toward the Dowager Consorts, and the next second, several black short arrows shot out.

The Dowager Consorts, shocked by the flying arrows coming at them without any warning, instinctively covered their faces.

Initially thinking Bai Junjun had gone mad, they had not yet felt the piercing pain of arrow feathers penetrating their bodies when suddenly, several muffled groans came from behind them.

Anxiously, the Dowager Consorts turned around and saw several monks, holding daggers, collapsing behind them.

Even the silliest of the Dowager Consorts now realized something was amiss and began to think about moving toward Bai Junjun.

However, many monks still surrounded Bai Junjun, who seemed as helpless as a Bodhisattva crossing a river.

The Dowager Consorts were terrified and completely disoriented.

Seeing this, Bai Junjun shouted, "Hide in the rooms and block the doors!"

At her words, the Dowager Consorts frantically rushed toward the nearest room.

They clumsily shut the door, and thinking about the dangers outside, they grew worried.

Finally, someone blurted out, "Where are the guards? Are all our guards dead?"

This was a wakeup call for everyone; the Dowager Consorts immediately thought to raise their voices for help.

Just then, one of the Dowager Consorts quickly covered her mouth.

"We can’t shout!"

"???"

At this critical moment, despite the situation, they instinctively kept their distance from the Dowager Consort who stopped the shout for help.

After all, during such an urgent time, shouting for help was essential for escape, and yet she was stopping them, which seemed highly suspicious.

That Dowager Consort seriously said, "Our guards are experts from the Imperial Palace Guard. If Junjun Girl came in, it couldn’t have happened without alerting them.

She might be working in covert coordination with the guards to avoid alarming anyone else. If you all start shouting, you’ll attract attention from outside."

It was rare for someone to think so clearly in such a desperate situation, but her argument was interrupted by objections.

"Sister speaks as if you’ve seen everything. Let’s leave other issues aside, for now, Junjun Girl is alone here. How long can she hold them off?

Once she’s killed, we’ll be next.

I don’t care what’s happening outside; right now, the most important thing is to deal with this burning issue. We only stand a chance if we call the guards in. Moreover, we have no idea what’s happening outside. How can we feel safe without our own people around us?"

The speaker was the Eldest Prince’s mother, known as the Iron Rose from the Western Region. Her words undoubtedly gained more support from the others.

Thus, twenty-some Dowager Consorts no longer cared about the Third Prince’s mother stopping them from calling for help. They began to scream at the top of their lungs.

"Help, assassins!"

"Save us, Imperial Palace Guards! These damned bald rebels have turned against us!"

"Someone, save us please!"

The cries for help from the Dowager Consorts grew louder and more piercing, and soon, these "vibrant" sounds spread from the Bamboo Grove Retreat.

The guard stationed outside was startled, knowing Bai Junjun had successfully ambushed and felt an impulse to rush back.

However, the Dowager Consorts’ voices also alarmed the monks at the Scripture Pavilion, who, armed with swords and looking fiercely menacing, charged toward them.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, everyone had no choice but to commit fully to dealing with the monks
