Little Seven reached out his hand and scratched his little ear, “It’s too noisy outside. If I eat now, I still have to stand up and fight later, I’ll eat later after the fight is finished.” As he spoke, he tilted his head and thought about it for a moment, his pet.i.te face was very serious when he said, “Why not you help me to pack them up, Third Aunt? Otherwise when the fight happens later, the pastries will fall off.”

When the little one’s voice subsided, a noisy commotion came from outside!

The Emperor was already upset by Baili Jia Jue’s att.i.tude earlier, his thick brows were furrowed tighter than before, “Go and have a look at what happened outside. Why is it so noisy!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Eunuch Gao retreated with the order.

The two elders who sat in the hall moved the teacups away and exchanged a glance before nodding at each other.

Helian Wei Wei chuckled when she saw their little action. She stood up, found an excuse and brought Little Seven out of the palace.

Consorts were allowed to leave even earlier before this and the Emperor did not stop them.

So when Helian Wei Wei walked out, it did not attract too much attention.

Elder Wu saw it too but after the failure of the Soul Drawing Incantation, it did not matter if Helian Wei Wei was around or not.

It was good that she left as she will not be able to say anything to exculpate Baili Jia Jue then.

As long as the Third Prince was still in the Great Hall, everything else could work!

Elder Wu took a big gulp of tea. Just you wait and see! He ought to skin Baili Jia Jue ferociously!

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!” Eunuch Gao who left earlier ran back and when he came in, he was panting heavily

The Emperor glared at him angrily, “What is it? Why are you so anxious?”

“Y-Your Majesty, t-there is a group of rebel troops outside and they are engaged in a fight with the imperial army!” Eunuch Gao’s forehead was covered in sweat when he said that, “They will be here at Chaoyang Hall in a while!”

The moment Eunuch Gao’s words subsided, it felt like the pause b.u.t.ton was pressed.

The hall’s atmosphere plunged into dead silence.

The munching noise were all silent; consorts and concubines were all petrified.

Even the Emperor suffered quite a shock, he was so surprised that he thought he heard it wrongly, “What did you say?!”

“There is a group of rebel troops rus.h.i.+ng in from outside the palace…”

“Hus.h.!.+” The Emperor stopped him before Eunuch Gao could finish. The Emperor’s voice was cold, his tone sounded fierce, “Impossible! How can the palace of my War Dragon Empire be invaded this easily?!”

“But…” That was what Eunuch Gao heard!
