Within the Imperial Palace, there remained one last assassin.
As the time for the court session approached, the Emperor had not yet appeared, causing both Xiao Lin and the guards to panic.
The Guard Commander thought for a moment and directly sent a guard to the Prince Qin Mansion to notify King Qin and see how to handle this matter.
The remaining assassin, Li Shuning, had no idea where he was hiding. If they brought the Emperor back and he was assassinated in plain view, it would be disastrous. But not bringing the Emperor back was also not a solution. What to do?
After thinking for a while, Li Shuning decided to control the hovercar into a side hall next to the Purple Cloud Palace. This side hall was originally a resting place for the Night Palace Maids and was currently unoccupied.
Then she assisted the Empress Dowager out and set her inside a hidden box, sprayed a special solution, and immediately drove the hovercar away.
