The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1582 -1575: The Empress Dowager’s Final Protection of Her

She called someone over to ask, and found that everyone shook their heads, “Eldest Princess, when we escaped, we didn’t see the secondary consort Li anywhere.”

“How can this be, go find her quickly!” Qin Ge became anxious all of a sudden, fearing that Li Yunshu was in trouble.

She was restless for quite a while, thinking that Li Yunshu had met with an accident just like the empress. But when Li Yunshu joined them, she was completely unharmed, her red lips vibrant. The first thing she asked Qin Ge was, “Mother, do you know where the Princess is now? Is she safe?”

Qin Ge was stunned for a moment, then replied, “She is fine. She is currently serving the Empress Dowager.”

A flash of maliciousness swept across the eyes of Li Yunshu that even startled Qin Ge, but it seemed like she had been mistaken, for when she came back to her senses, Li Yunshu’s expression was once again respectful and gentle.

Since Li Yunshu returned to the prince’s mansion to take charge of the household, she had changed her way of addressing him, calling her mother just like Qin Muyan.

Originally, she thought that Li Yunshu had become gentle and submissive.

But now…

Qin Ge had an indescribable discomfort in her heart, not knowing why.

Li Yunshu went to pay respects to the imperial grandmother, who was still unconscious. Only Rong Yun was taking care of her. Seeing Rong Yun constantly by the imperial grandmother’s side, Li Yunshu’s eyes gleamed with hate, “She really has a big life!”

Behind her, Chun Xing said indifferently, “Secondary consort, now that she is by the imperial grandmother’s side, it’s not good for us to make a move. We surely can’t… even the elderly imperial grandmother…”

“What’s not possible? This old woman blocking the way, she should have died long ago!”

Li Yunshu’s eyes were fierce. Her discontent with the imperial grandmother had been festering for more than a day or two!

She was a true noble of the Great Wei Dynasty, who had always respected the imperial grandmother since she was young. But this wretched old woman favored Rong Yun from Beiling City, spoiling her like a granddaughter. Has she ever considered her feelings?

She never sided with Qin Ge like this, so why should she care about her life?

To her, the old woman was just that, an old woman; killing her made no difference!

“Tell the people from grandfather, act as soon as possible. I want to see Rong Yun’s head!”

Li Yunshu gave the order, and this royal temple, which was once safe, became unsafe.

In the night, a large number of enemy forces stealthily attacked. The temple was filled with bloodshed, the people scattered by the enemy, innocent lives taken. Qin Ge desperately wanted to rush to save the imperial grandmother, but the Imperial Guards around her protected her, “Eldest Princess, don’t run around wildly, let’s go quickly!”

“Mother… Yunshu! And Rong Yun, they haven’t escaped yet, how can I flee alone!” Qin Ge’s eyes turned red, seeing a large number of enemy forces charging towards the courtyard where the imperial grandmother was staying.

Her mother was in grave danger!

“Eldest Princess, please go quickly! The empress has ordered that each person has a team for protection. We must follow orders and take you away!”

The Imperial Guards then escorted Qin Ge away.

The royal temple was set ablaze.

In the courtyard of the imperial grandmother, Rong Yun was held in her arms. Outside, there were the sounds of Wei Mingze leading his men in battle against the enemy, the chill of the blades making Rong Yun shiver with fear.

“Child, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Your grandmother will protect you.”

The Empress Dowager looked pale. She realized that her place was the first to be attacked by the enemy, as if they had intentionally targeted her.

The old woman and the others were guarding here, but as she peered through the crack of the door, the situation outside was terribly grim!

The enemy forces were growing ever more numerous; if the standoff continued, Wei Mingze and his men would surely be outnumbered and overwhelmed!

She turned and knelt towards the Empress Dowager, “Empress Dowager, this maid is taking the liberty of asking, does this royal temple have a hidden passage for evacuation? Staying here as you and the princess are is not a solution.”

If the enemy breaks through, they would all be doomed!

The Empress Dowager’s brow furrowed with deep concern, “There is indeed a passage.”

But she couldn’t escape with Rong Yun!

The Empress Dowager took Rong Yun’s hand, “Jingjing, order the palace guards outside to withdraw, take your people and leave first.”

Rong Yun’s hand immediately turned cold, “What about you, imperial grandmother? You should go first! Jingjing will cover your retreat. You’re older, you should leave first.”

“Imperial grandmother is old and can’t move quickly, Jingjing go ahead, scout the path first in case imperial grandmother takes a wrong turn,” the Empress Dowager, holding Rong Yun’s icy hand, brought it to her lips and blew on it.

It seemed as if she remembered something, her eyes filled with longing, “Mu Yan said you suffer from the cold, especially at night. Take off your clothes and put on this old woman’s thick padded jacket instead.”

Tears welled up in Rong Yun’s eyes, her heart unwilling to part, “Then Jingjing will go scout the way, and imperial grandmother should quickly follow.”

“Alright.”

The Empress Dowager’s eyes were filled with gentle light. She had her attendants take out her thick jacket and overcoat for Rong Yun to wear, and then had someone lead her away.

Wei Mingze didn’t have time to think more about it; knowing the situation was urgent, he took Rong Yun and left first.

Only the old woman Yan felt something was amiss, but the Empress Dowager gave her a piercing look, and she dared not speak further, promptly protecting Rong Yun as they made their escape.

The secret passage was beneath the bed of the Empress Dowager. After lifting the bed plank, the Empress Dowager rearranged the mattress, without any intention of lifting it again to flee with them.

“Empress Dowager!” The loyal old maid by her side, who had been with her for decades, looked solemn, “Are you truly not leaving?”

The Empress Dowager shifted slightly, already gasping for air. Her eyes turned pale, her vision yellowed and murky, her gaze beginning to scatter, “This old body of mine can’t run anymore; I’ll stay here, perhaps… perhaps I’ll meet others.”

“Who are you waiting for?” The old maid, being a personal attendant, well understood the Empress Dowager’s intentions.𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

She glanced at the clothes left specifically by the Empress Dowager for Rong Yun, “Could it be that someone deliberately wants to harm the Scarlet Flame King’s wife?”

The Empress Dowager coughed a few times, then commanded her, “Put on these clothes and hide in my arms.”

The old maid stripped off her own garments, put on Rong Yun’s clothes, and crawled into the Empress Dowager’s bedclothes, revealing only the back of her head. She looked as though the Empress Dowager was cradling Rong Yun.

The rebels stormed in after a short while, led by a tall man in black armor with a red headband, his bloody sword aiming at the Empress Dowager, “Hand over the Scarlet Flame King’s wife and you will be spared!”

“Ha, my son’s wife is not for thieves like you to take! If you have the guts, kill me first before you lay a finger on my granddaughter-in-law!”

The Empress Dowager declared with a loud voice, full of momentum.

The tall man clenched his teeth, wishing to strike her down with a single blow, killing them both. But he knew that the Empress Dowager’s status was not to be trifled with lightly.

He ordered his men to guard the chantry room and then turned and left, as if to consult someone else.

Although he was clad in the armor of the rebels, he was in fact a man from the household of the Duke of Li.
