Speaking of which, Li Chen hasn't been to the Baihua Palace for a long time. He is really busy with everything now, and he just got married to Su Jinpa, so it is inevitable that he is a little neglected by Zhao Rui.
Today was free, so Li Chen was planning to go to Baihua Palace to meet Zhao Rui.
After hearing Li Chen's instructions, Wan Jiaojiao responded, turned around and shouted to the maids and eunuchs outside the shop that the prince was going to the Baihua Palace.
Li Chen stood up and left Xi Zheng Palace.
After passing through the pavilions and corridors of the East Palace, just when they were about to arrive at the Baihua Palace, a palace maid suddenly jumped out from the side and knelt on Li Chen's path.
"How dare you!" A guard immediately yelled: "How dare you stop the prince? You don't want to live anymore!?"
The maid was trembling all over, lying on the ground without daring to raise her head, and shouted to Li Chen: "Your Highness, I heard that you said that no matter whether you are a trafficker or a king or a general, anyone who has a grievance can complain to you."
"This slave is risking his own life. He has suffered a huge grievance and wants to redress his grievances to His Highness the Crown Prince. Please give this slave a chance."
"Wait a minute."
Li Chen waved his hand to stop the Ouchi guard who was about to go up to fetch someone. He looked at the palace maid and said, "If you have any grievances, just tell me."
The palace maid tremblingly took out a volume of documents from her arms, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "All of my grievances are contained in this. Your Highness, please allow me to come forward and explain it in detail."
"Then please come forward and present it." Li Chen did not refuse. He motioned to the palace maid to come forward.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The palace maid kowtowed violently on the ground several times, then staggered up and walked towards Li Chen.
The surrounding Ouchi guards had Li Chen's permission, so they did not stop her and allowed the palace maid to come to Li Chen.
She waited until the palace maid came to a position only two or three meters away from Li Chen before she stopped.
"Your Highness, the grievances suffered by this servant are all contained in this document. Please read it, Your Highness." As she spoke, the maid slowly opened the document in front of Li Chen.
The document is in the shape of a scroll, so it needs to be turned slowly.
Li Chen looked around, trying to see clearly the words written on the document, but the surrounding lights were dim and he couldn't see carefully.
Just when the document scroll was about to be fully unfolded, suddenly, a eunuch behind Li Chen shouted: "There is an assassin!"
The entire East Palace was completely boiling because of these three words.
Visible to the naked eye, all the imperial guards were running towards Li Chen.
And all the whistles in the dark that would not normally appear were revealed.
Choking, banging, the sound of blades being unsheathed was heard everywhere, accompanied by the sound of running footsteps. Even though no one spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Opposite Li Chen, the palace maid who was trembling a second ago with a pitiful look on her face suddenly raised her head, the expression on her face was extremely vicious and vicious.
She turned the last page of the scroll, pulled out a dagger with cold light from it, and pierced Li Chen's chest.
Li Chen really didn't expect that one day he would be assassinated by Tu Qiongdexian.
At this moment, the situation was at its most critical. When the palace maid saw that her intentions were discovered, she still chose to fight Li Chen desperately even though she knew that she would definitely die.
The distance between the two is only two or three meters, which is no more than the distance between the palace maid holding the dagger and stretching out her arm and sprinting one step further.
