Ren Baqian was naked . At this moment, the wounds on his body had already faded to faint scars . Medicine like the black mud cream was readily available at the clinic, and wounds were able to heal in a very short period of time .

But, both of his eyes were still shut, and he appeared very pale, without a single bit of consciousness .

For some time the empress stood in front of him with a perplexed look on her face .

Ren Baqian had brought about many changes to Dayao . That aside, the empress couldn't simply watch him die like that . After all, he was the only person whom she really fancied in so many years .

If she were to leave Dayao on her own to go to Great Xia, it would probably be very risky .

It wouldn't be that risky if she could settle things easily at the Nine Pavilions . But if there was to be a conflict, other people would probably immediately know of her presence . By then, it would be very difficult for her to leave Great Xia .

Based on the way things were handled at the Nine Pavilions, it seemed like the chances of any conflict occurring were very high .

There was still room for negotiation if it was a normal person . But, those people at the Nine Pavilions were maniacs . There was no telling what they would do .

At present, the empress was caught between two difficult situations .

After some time, the empress heaved a little sigh and her expression became a little less cold . With one hand, she lifted the cloth on the bed and immediately wrapped Ren Baqian up . Soon after, she grabbed Ren Baqian with one hand and broke out of the door, transforming into a red streak as she headed for the palace .

Everyone at the clinic felt relieved after the empress left . Many people immediately sank to the floor, and n.o.body laughed at them either .

They were terribly frightened by the empress just now . She was like a raging volcano, ready to erupt at any moment, and n.o.body could catch their breath .

Tong Zhenye gazed into the direction the empress disappeared into, turned around and asked the old man, "Are there no other solutions?"

"This type of poison is very rare . n.o.body knows the prescription other than the people at the Nine Pavilions . And of course, detoxification will be naturally out of the question . " The old man shook his head .

"Sigh . " Tong Zhenye heaved a sigh as well . The buildings that Ren Baqian spoke about should at least be completed before such things happen .

He saw hope, but it unfortunately came to an end spontaneously .

He didn't doubt the old man's words a single bit . Previously, the empress also didn't have the slightest suspicion at all .

If he said that there was no other way, then there must certainly be no other way .

There were a few old eccentric people in the imperial court of Dayao, and this elderly man was one of them . The old woman in Qingxin Palace Hall was another one of them . Apart from being labelled as an old monster, there were other reasons why they were labelled as eccentric .

"What about that imperial guard?" Tong Zhenye asked again .

"He is severely injured and almost lost his life . He needs time to recuperate . " The elderly man replied .

Tong Zhenye nodded and then shook his head . "What a pity . "

Naturally, he felt it was such a pity that such a thing happened to Ren Baqian . If it was before, he would naturally despise him . But after he had demonstrated and spoke about those grand plans, he had changed the perspective of many . Deputy Prefect Ren's capabilities in that aspect were commendable regardless . In future, he would continue to hone his skills and even though he still wasn't a good enough fit for the empress, he was barely acceptable .

What a pity .

Tong Zhenye exerted some force with his feet and disappeared in a flash, landing on the roof of a house far away .

…

The empress immediately brought Ren Baqian to Yangxin Palace Hall after returning to the palace . She spread her arms and he fell on the couch .

"Go to Pingle Park and get some clothes for him . " The empress said in a cold voice .

"Yes, Your Majesty . " Both of them replied, and Qing Yuan hurried out of the door .

"Put my hair in a bun," the empress ordered as she sat in front of the mirror . In the mirror was a lady, cold and full of heroic spirit .

After Hong Luan was done fixing up her hair, she traced the words on both sides of the mirror with her fingers . She then turned her body and looked over .

Qing Yuan's face was red as she placed clothes on Ren Baqian . It took her a long while to finish putting it on for him .

The empress took a few steps in the huge palace hall and looked at the surrounding .

Qing Yuan and Hong Luan felt that Her Majesty was giving off a very weird vibe, but couldn't tell why .

They a.s.sumed that it could be influenced by the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on Deputy Prefect Ren . They didn't know who could be so daring, and also wondered if that person had been caught .

However, nothing much had happened to Deputy Prefect Ren fortunately . Even though he had not regained consciousness and his face was a little pale, his wounds were recovering well and he should be waking up soon .

Otherwise, Her Majesty would be absolutely furious .

Her Majesty aside, the two of them had only seen her treat one person like that in so many years . They wouldn't want anything to happen to him as well, otherwise Her Majesty would be deeply hurt .

As the two of them were preoccupied with their thoughts, the empress suddenly spoke, "Tell s.h.i.+ Qing that if I were to die, invite that man back . Zhe Kouhai had been thinking about it for so many years . I didn't kill him all this while as I felt that this day may arrive . "

Both Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were dumbfounded when they heard what the empress said . Their faces were filled with astonishment and cried out, "Your Majesty!"

"Just in case, that's all . n.o.body in this world has been able to defeat me yet . " The empress raised her voice and said with a tone full of disdain for all beings .

The two of them panicked when they heard that . "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going out . Tell the public order bureau and the Department of Inspection to investigate . As long as they find anyone related, kill them . No evidence shall be required and spare no one . "

As the empress was speaking, she stood by the couch while carrying Ren Baqian in one hand . As soon as she had finished her sentence, she disappeared from the palace hall, leaving behind an echo of the words "Spare no one" .

"Your Majesty!" Both Qing Yuan and Hong Luan shouted and hurried out of the palace door in a futile attempt to locate the empress .

"Hurry, get General Xin Zhe here . Her Majesty is in trouble," the loyal pair frantically shouted .

. . .

The empress sprinted towards a corner of the palace while carrying Ren Baqian and landed in a courtyard in a flash . This courtyard had a large pond and a monster with a lion's head, an antler, the body of a moose, dragon scales, and an ox tail lay in it . It was the kirin that Ren Baqian had seen previously .

It stood up the moment it felt the presence of the empress, letting out a cry towards her . Not only did it not sound terrifying, it sounded very intimate in fact, as if it was a greeting .

With a flip, the empress stood on its back and said with a cold voice, "Go, to the north . "

"Ooooooowhooo!" This time, the kirin didn't sound as cute as it did just now . It was full of intimidation and its eyes were filled with excitement . Its body rose into the air and landed on the roof of one of the houses nearby . With another leap forward, it jumped across five or six courtyards and landed on another roof .

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the palace was startled by the cry of the kirin . Soon after, they saw the kirin running out of the courtyard with a red figure on its back, and they immediately cried out in alarm .

Her Majesty actually left the palace riding a kirin?

Upon witnessing this incident, over ten shadows immediately leaped from the palace and gave chase . But, the kirin had already disappeared past the palace walls shortly after they started chasing .

Xin Zhe looked very gloomy . Her Majesty didn't normally ride the kirin out . Her actions were obvious that she was travelling far . But, as the commander of the palace's imperial guards, she didn't even know anything . What exactly was happening?

After she heard the things that Hong Luan and Qing Yuan had to tell, she was completely stupefied .

After the time taken for a stick of incense to burn, s.h.i.+ Qing's face took a huge change when he heard about the news while he was basking in the sun in his residence .

Zhe Kouhai's face turned gloomy after hearing the news as well .

Tong Zhenye was completely dumbfounded when he heard of it . The empress actually went to the Nine Pavilions on her own?

The entire imperial court of Dayao was in shock .

She was the empress of Dayao, and she actually headed to the north on her own . If something were to happen to her, what would become of Dayao?
