The First Prince was thrown into the air to a height above the head of the Grand Empress Dowager, frightening everyone.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying quickly used her divine sense to slow down the First Prince’s landing speed. At the same time, she stuffed Guoguo into the arms of Consort Xian. She then rushed over and caught the First Prince with her feet and held him in her arms as she examined him.
Gu Wanning came back to her senses and stuttered. “How is he? How is he? Is Yangyang alright?”
“He’s alright, not injured. However, we should still call the Imperial Physician over to take a look.” After Zhou Ying replied, she stuffed the First Prince into her arms.
The First Prince also reacted at this moment and cried out loud. His cries were heart-wrenching, and it was obvious that he had been frightened quite badly.
The Grand Empress Dowager heaved a sigh of relief and quickly called for a doctor. As long as he was not injured, it was fine.
Just as a palace maid was about to run out to report the news, Zhou Ying suddenly took out a dagger from her boot and stopped the palace maid.
Everyone was stunned by that. When they saw the dagger in her hand and were about to persuade her not to overreact, the palace maid dodged her attack and started fighting with Zhou Ying.
Moreover, her martial arts skills were obviously above Zhou Ying’s. If not for Zhou Ying’s quick reaction, she would obviously not be the palace maid’s opponent.
“Quick, there’s an assassin!” Mingyu shouted at this moment. After handing Zhuangzhuang to Consort An, she also rushed forward.
The palace maid knew that Mingyu knew martial arts, so when she saw that she was about to rush over, she planned to end the battle quickly. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to escape here.
Zhou Ying saw through her intentions, and she did not intend to let her go. She quickly turned her divine sense into a needle and stabbed it into the palace maid’s tendons and acupoints on her body.
With the help of her divine sense, Zhou Ying quickly turned the tables. When Mingyu rushed over, the two of them promptly subdued the palace maid.
At the same time, Zhou Ying was afraid that the palace maid might commit suicide, so she stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth.
At this moment, the guards rushed in. After they handed the palace maid over to the guards, Zhou Ying said, “She’s proficient at martial arts. Just in case, check her mouth first and administer some muscle relaxant before questioning her.”
“Thank you for your reminder, Mrs. Gu.” After the guard finished speaking, he led his men out.
“We’ll interrogate her here,” the Grand Empress Dowager said in a deep voice. “I want to see who has the guts to try to assassinate the First Prince.”
After saying that, she asked the nannies to take the children away.
When the guard saw this, he did not refuse. He dislocated the palace maid’s chin on the spot. After examining her, he drugged her and set her chin back on before asking, “Tell me what you know. Otherwise, you won’t be able to withstand our torture.”
The palace maid only glanced at him and said, “Kill or torture me as you please.”.
“It’s so easy to die. We’ve always believed in giving a life worse than death.” After the guard said this, he asked Eunuch Sun for a needle and inserted it into the palace maid’s fingernails.
He directly jammed it in, so it could never be pulled out.
The faces of all the royal women present were as white as paper.
At this time, Zhou Ying also noticed the abnormality because the palace maid’s face did not change even after being tortured so cruelly. She went forward and touched her face, then tore off a layer of skin.
“Oh, a human skin mask!” Mingyu exclaimed.
Eunuch Sun exclaimed at the same time, “Wait… she doesn’t look like a person from our country.”
When everyone heard this, they took a closer look at the palace maid. As expected, the palace maid’s facial features were smaller, her eye sockets were deeper, and her cheekbones were higher. No matter how they looked at it, she did not look like a person from the Great Ming..
