Chapter 943: Chapter 945: The Prince’s Retreat (5)

Chaos erupted in the Imperial Court, with ministers of faint heart clutching their heads and curling up in corners. With the blades flashing without care for whom they might strike, who knew if they would wound themselves, while some loyal ministers of Emperor Jin Ming fought fiercely with the Imperial Guards, many getting injured and some even losing their lives...

...*...*...

Although Cai Wei was not in the Imperial Court, her heart was hanging in her throat. The men forbade her from meddling in court affairs, fearing she would slip in her speech among the ministers and be accused of overstepping, hindering her advancement to a future Empress. Therefore, she could not be present today and could only rely on what Brother Parrot relayed to her.

"Caw—Master, King Qin has knocked down another, that’s eight now..."

With three thousand Imperial Guards, even if eight had fallen, countless more remained. Cai Wei was frantic. In the Imperial Court, secret guards were forbidden; it could be said that now, it was just Nangong Yi alone fighting against the three thousand guards.

"Brother Ying, I will send Chang Mei to assist you immediately; both of you must save him no matter what."

Having said that, she dashed into space, ran to Old Turtle’s Alchemy Room, and collected all the Confusion Drugs, Itchy Medicines, Madness Drugs, and even aphrodisiacs from Old Turtle’s medicine shelf.

"Chang Mei, take these medicines with Brother Ying and go help King Qin. Remember, protect yourself and him too!"

Chang Mei looked at a large bundle of bottles and jars, gnashed his teeth and displayed a pained expression!

"Master, walking around with so many items could easily attract attention!"

Cai Wei handed the huge bundle to Chang Mei and said, "Then let no one notice, first store these up on the roof of the Hall, and you can fetch more when you run out."

With a sigh, Chang Mei reluctantly hoisted the heavy package of medicines and leapt out of the manor...

Still uneasy, Cai Wei paced back and forth inside the room, periodically asking Brother Parrot for updates.

"Ah, master, Ben Boba is here, wow, he’s brought a lot of people, look, he’s impressive, knocking down a group in no time..."

Ben Boba went there!

A joy sprang up in Cai Wei’s heart. Now, the man was no longer fighting alone; the risk to him had significantly decreased!

"Wow, the Emperor’s shadow guard has also arrived, and there are quite a few of them, haha, master, you needn’t worry now, though both the Emperor’s and King Qin’s shadow guards are few, each one is an expert. King Qin is sure to win!"

Cai Wei’s heart leapt. The Emperor’s shadow guards had also been deployed, which was excellent. With the Emperor’s shadow guards and Nangong Yi’s shadow guards, as well as the aid of Cai Wei’s medicines, they were sure to defeat the Prince!

While she was still delighted, Brother Parrot called out again: "Ha ha, General Li’s men have also stormed into the palace—wow, now King Qin’s side has more people than the Prince’s side, it’s a sure win, eh! Monkey, you came too?"

Chang Mei handed a green medicine bottle to its claws and pointed at the corner of the roof with the Auspicious Beasts: "Master told us to help King Qin, if you run out of medicine, there’s more there!"

"Wait a minute!"

Cai Wei hurriedly stopped them. Since King Qin and the Emperor’s secret guards had arrived and General Li had also sent his forces, indicating the man was safe, she needed not expose her Divine Beasts just yet.

"Both of you stay put for now. Only move to rescue King Qin if he’s in danger, understood?"

"Understood, Master!"

The two rascals settled temporarily and perched on the large tree outside the Imperial Court, watching the excitement inside the Hall.

The Emperor, Empress, King Qin’s family’s powers had all been mobilized; even General Li deployed his hidden forces from within the capital. Along with several military commanders in court, they fought more fiercely as time went by, seemingly set to capture the Prince and his rebellious group in one fell swoop.

The Prince and Jin Zhong were thoroughly alarmed by the unexpected survival of Emperor Jin Ming and the massive force behind him. After an intense battle, the Imperial Guards were clearly at a disadvantage; the well-trained shadow guards killed mercilessly with every strike, far more formidable than the collectively trained Imperial Guards.

The Prince was visibly shaken, thinking of the dire consequences if the Imperial Guards were defeated. Jin Zhong tightly pursed his lips, seeing the heavy losses among the Imperial Guards, suddenly pulled out a green orb from his sleeve and vehemently smashed it to the ground.

"Bang—"

With a loud noise, the green orb released thick smoke that instantly swallowed the entire hall.

"Cough, cough—"

"What is this, I can’t see anything..."

"Quick, stop talking, protect the Emperor..."

"Ouch, you stepped on me..."

After a bout of noisy clamor, the smoke gradually cleared, revealing the blood-drenched hall that was now devoid of any sign of the Prince and Jin Zhong.
