Bab 974: Chapter 973: Little Prince, Take Care_1

"I'll lead my men to search outside."

The Imperial Guard Commander glanced at the intimidating Leader of the Qilin Guards and dared not provoke him any further. He left with his men in a dejected manner.

The three Qilin Guards vanished into the shadows with a flash.

The bedchamber fell silent in an instant, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The only sound was the soft, intermittent breaths of the attendants.

The Prime Minister, shaken to his core, crawled over to the desk and rolled up the forged imperial edict before dashing out of the bedchamber without looking back.

"Phew."

Lin Yixuan let out a small sigh as he jumped down from the dragon bed, knelt on the ground, and choked out three loud kowtows to the Empress.

"Empress Mother, I have to go. If I have the chance, I'll come back to see you."

After finishing his kowtows, Lin Yixuan stood up, glanced at the Empress one last time, then ran out of the bedchamber.

Little Prince, take care!
