Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

It's just dawn.

Xie Anjun was still asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise outside.

He stood up irritably and shouted outside, "What are you doing? Making so much noise!"

He didn't sleep well last night and had some messy dreams. He was woken up again and was naturally angry.

There were hurried footsteps and a servant rushed in with a panicked look on his face.

"My Lord! Something bad has happened!"

Xie Anjun frowned, but before he could get angry, he heard the servant tremblingly say, "Someone's coming from the palace!"

In the palace?

Xie Anjun was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

He immediately asked, "Who's here? Is it Eunuch Li?"

The servant was about to cry, "No, no...it's the Imperial Guards!"

Xie Anjun's mind went blank for a moment, and he raised his voice and asked uncontrollably, "Who are you talking about!?"

Imperial Guards!?
Why would the Imperial Guards come here so early in the morning?!
The servant pointed outside, but his trembling voice made him unable to utter a complete sentence.

"He, they..."

"waste!"

Xie Anjun lost all his patience, cursed angrily, stood up suddenly, put on his clothes hastily and walked out.

However, just as he reached the door and stepped over the threshold, he saw the imperial guards had already broken in!
They divided into two columns and quickly surrounded the yard.

Wearing heavy armor and holding a spear, he is intimidating!
The stern pressure was almost suffocating!
Xie Anjun had never seen such a scene before, and the words of questioning he was about to ask were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them at all.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, looked around, and spoke in a cold voice,
"What does this mean? I don't know when this Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion became deserted!?"

A soldier in the middle stepped forward.
"My Lord, His Majesty wants to see you. Please come with us."

Xie Anjun's heart suddenly sank!
Such a scene and such a statement seem to have revealed something!
His face had turned pale, but he refused to give up. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since it is your Majesty's order, I will obey it. There is no need for you to do this, right?" After he finished speaking, no one responded and the atmosphere became extremely cold.

The smile on Xie Anjun's face could no longer be maintained, and his heart began to beat rapidly and uncontrollably.

He coughed a few times to clear his throat, then put on a calm and composed look.

"Since you are going to see the emperor, how can you be so careless? Please wait for a moment while I wash up--"

"My Lord, there is no need to bother." The man interrupted him mercilessly, "We can wait, but Your Majesty cannot."

Xie Anjun's expression froze.

After a short stalemate, seeing that these people really had no intention of giving in, Xie Anjun could only bite the bullet and say,
"Then... let's go now!"

……

Xiao Jiayi didn't sleep again that night and sat on the bed all night.

As the sky gradually brightened, she finally felt a little tired and sleepy and prepared to lie down.

However, before she touched the pillow, she heard a noisy noise outside.

She frowned, stood up and went to the window.

The door of the room was locked from the outside by Xie Anjun, so she couldn't get out at all. The only way to get some fresh air was through the window that could be opened a crack.

However, when she looked carefully, she found that the servants outside were running around in panic, muttering something.

It looked like a disaster was about to happen.

Xiao Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and opened her eyes wide with excitement!

It’s Ye Chutang!

She finally took action! (End of this chapter)
