Xiao Liu's body was carried away, and the guards and palace eunuchs also retreated.
The empty West Hall was restored, with only Xuyu and Pei Xiaoyuan holding her in his arms.
"It's all my fault for coming too late! It's all my fault for scaring you..." He kept comforting her.
Liu Ceye's remnants are still numerous. He has been busy with this matter since last night, and until tonight, thinking that the emperor was not in good condition and worried about her condition in the palace, after making arrangements, he came back to take a look, but he didn't expect to encounter such an accident.
Thinking that if he had been a step slower, she might have fallen under Xiao Liu's knife, he felt extremely scared. He simply carried her out of the hall, which seemed to still have the smell of blood in his breath, and came outside, to an empty platform with fresh air, where he sat on the ground with his back against a beam, untied his outer cloak, and wrapped the person who was still trembling in his arms.
He stopped talking and just asked her to relax completely in his arms, holding her tightly in his arms.
Finally, he felt the person in his arms slowly stop trembling and curl up heavily.
Just when he thought she was asleep, she suddenly seemed to remember something, opened her eyes, and called out softly, "Mother!"
Then, she jumped up from Pei Xiaoyuan's arms, left him behind, and hurried back to the West Palace.
In the West Hall, seven or eight palace guards were running back and forth in a hurry. Some were lying on the ground, wiping the blood off the ground, and some were cleaning the blood stains on the wall.
The base image there was originally a lotus flower with clouds, and the blood had seeped into the pigment. After wiping off a layer of the surface print, he wiped it again. Although the eunuch was very careful, the blood still spread. He hurriedly tried to remedy the situation, but the more he wiped, the more blurred the base image became.
"Stop! Who told you to come here without permission?"
The consul palace supervisor saw this and rushed over to stop them. When he saw that the part of the mural that had been touched was covered with a layer of light red mist, which was very conspicuous in contrast to the intact original paintings around it, he was shocked, stamped his feet, and cursed angrily. The young palace supervisor was so frightened that his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground in panic, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
The palace eunuchs who worked here witnessed how much the emperor cherished this mural. They often saw him coming here in the dead of night, wandering around, gazing at it from afar, and sometimes even sitting facing the wall until dawn.
Although the painting has been slashed by Liu Hou's knife, the damage is indeed serious, but one thing is one thing, if it is not properly cleaned afterwards, another piece will be damaged. If the emperor is angry...
The Consul Palace Supervisor looked at the large red mark on the wall painting and felt flustered. He was walking around like a headless fly, not knowing what to do, when he saw a figure standing at the entrance of the hall.
The princess has returned.
He hurried over to greet them, and before he could say anything, he knelt down to apologize, and then hesitantly told them what had happened. The eunuch who had caused the trouble was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling.
Xuyu walked to the painted wall.
Everyone behind her held their breath at first, feeling extremely nervous, but soon they unexpectedly discovered that the princess looked completely different from when she was just rescued by her husband.
She seemed to have recovered her emotions. She just stared at the scarred beauty in silence for a moment, her eyes finally swept across the picture that was accidentally destroyed by the eunuch, and said in a somewhat suppressed voice: "Nothing. You can go down."
