Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Terrifying Combat Power

Especially just now, when each of them ignored their own lives and called for help with all the air in their lungs, their voices are now hoarse and weak without strength.

When their cries to the heavens went unanswered and their pleas to the earth were in vain, the voice of the Imperial Palace Guard finally came from outside.

"Dowager Consort, I’m here to rescue you!"

"!"

Hearing this, hope flared in the Dowager Consorts as they trembled and hurried to open the door, only to see a ground full of injured men kneeling outside.

These young men were injured to varying degrees, appearing utterly disheveled.

The Dowager Consort, no longer concerned with chastisement, quickly urged them to report what had happened outside.

However, before they could answer, another cry of anguish came from outside.

It was only then that the Dowager Consorts realized belatedly that the emergency had not subsided, and that the fighting was still ongoing outside.

They were immediately terrified, their faces pale: "Outside... outside..."

All these elderly ladies heard it, and so did the guards. They couldn’t worry about apologies anymore and all stood up, drawing their swords again, alert to their surroundings.

Ensuring no one took advantage of the chaos to jump into the courtyard, they finally

escorted the Dowager Consorts back into the room. They also positioned themselves on the outer perimeter, ready to perish with any intruders if attacked.

But after standing guard for a while, the expected intruders did not come. Instead, the wails from outside gradually weakened.

Yet, no one dared to go out rashly. They waited for about the time it took to drink two cups of tea before the Imperial Palace Guard finally decided to go outside and check.

However, what they saw nearly frightened them to death. At least seven to eight hundred people lay scattered in disarray outside, all clad in monk robes.

The guards rushed to check on these individuals and found that they had all died from short arrows.

Had Bai Junjun, who had also used short arrows just before, killed all these people?

The guards found it unbelievable.

This was not merely seven or eight people, but seven to eight hundred. How had these girls accomplished this?

As the guards were filled with doubts, a young man approached from not far away.

He was dressed similarly to Bai Junjun, in a brown sea-clearing robe with matching scarlet attire underneath.

One guard realized it was Bai Junjun’s companion, Li Wenli, who was now smiling at everyone.

"The situation is under our control; everyone can rest assured now."

"???" The guards were all baffled.

Truthfully, except for the two who had seen the secret edict, everyone else was clueless.

They had no idea what was happening. The monks, with whom they had peacefully coexisted for two years, had suddenly turned hostile.

After the Dowager Consorts screamed sharply, the monks, as if maddened, had brandished their weapons and confronted them aggressively.

The crowd was caught off-guard, losing the initiative and at one point, struggling to catch their breath from the beating.

If it weren’t for Bai Junjun’s help, all the guards might have perished there today.

With Li Wenli’s return, Bai Junjun and the only fully intact Reception Master from the Monks’ Quarters also came back.

They then briefly reported to the Dowager Consorts.

It must be mentioned that, among the 26 Dowager Consorts present, the assembly was not lacking in influence. Although the Empress was no longer there, the harem was managed in rotation by four Dowager Consorts, and the mothers of the three major pillars of power in today’s world were here.

Such as the mothers of the Eldest Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince. As these weighty mountains owe their prestige to their sons, they are absolute leaders among these Dowager Consorts.

However, recently, news of the Third Prince’s demise had come. The Third Prince’s mother had fallen from power, she being the one who had proposed not to call for help earlier.

Her father was a General, and she had some understanding of military tactics, though others hardly trusted her.
