Chapter 1486: Ballistic
These two zombie cranes had rushed inside from the second-floor railing, from where they flew down to the first floor of the building. After finding Yi’an, who was hiding behind the stairs, they quickly started attacking her.
At this time, Yi’an was shuddering all over with a ghastly pale face.
On the other hand, Queen Zhao’s expression turned very unsightly when she saw this woman.
When she recalled how this woman had shut the iron gates in her face earlier, selfishly preventing her from going inside to hide, Queen Zhao was unable to quell the wrath in her chest no matter what.
An ice sword appeared in Qiao Mu’s hand, and she pointed it straight at Commandery Princess Yi’an’s chest. She then stated frostily, “Got scratched?”
Yi’an immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum as she gazed at the young crown prince consort in horror. She screeched, “I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t!! I didn’t get hurt, I didn’t!”
“Look, look!” Yi’an hastily showed Qiao Mu her arms.
Sure enough, there weren’t any traces of injuries on her snow-white arms.
“I, I have a defensive mystic weapon. I-I won’t get hurt,” Yi’an hastily explained.
However, Queen Zhao merely scoffed at her before turning to pull Qiao Mu away with a harrumph.
Yi’an’s complexion paled at once. When she recalled what she had done to the queen earlier, she could not help but beat her chest and regret her actions.
It was great now. On the heels of the queen dowager not liking her anymore, Her Majesty the Queen was also going to loathe her after today!
D*mn it!
In this case, how was she going to secure her standing in the royal palace!
Seeing that Queen Zhao was dragging her own young daughter-in-law away without looking back at all, Yi’an was incomparably resentful and walked down the stairs crestfallenly.
She halted suddenly when she felt the area near her navel starting to tingle. When she touched it, she saw several drops of blood on her hand.
Yi’an jolted in shock, and she hastily looked down. Her snow-white hands shook as she slowly lifted up her garment that had a cut in it.
Yi’an’s pupils contracted when she saw an extra, small and shallow cut near her navel, a trickle of blood still oozing out from it.
H-How was this possible??
Yi’an’s face promptly turned incomparably pale, and her footsteps teetered, as if she was about to collapse in the next second.
Could it be that when those two zombie cranes swooped down at her just now, she had accidentally gotten scratched by those sharp claws?!
Yi’an promptly tottered, her expression looking as if the sky was about to collapse.
N-No, nothing was going to happen, look at her skin. It was still bleeding. Since it was bleeding then that meant that there was no problem.
If she were to zombify, bleeding would not be possible.
Mhm, this definitely was the case!
Yi’an took a deep breath and repeatedly reassured herself in her heart.
When she looked up again, she saw that the young crown prince consort and Queen Zhao had already gone far. She did not dare dawdle any longer and hastily chased after them.
Afraid that the young crown prince consort would discover the wound near her navel, Yi’an hastily moved up her waist belt to cover it up. Luckily, that wound was rather shallow and had clotted after oozing out several drops of blood. Therefore, people wouldn’t be able to see that there was an extra shallow cut on her abdomen.
At this time, the stoic-faced young crown prince consort suddenly turned back and inspected her quizzically.
Yi’an’s heart jolted, and she automatically turned tense, looking back at Qiao Mu in alarm. “C-Crown Prince Consort, I see that we had better leave this place as soon as possible!”
“What are you panicking for.” Qiao Mu swept her a cold glance.
She had long received news.
The hidden guards had teamed up to eliminate the zombie cranes in Yating Court in a disciplined fashion. Consort Cheng, Consort Liu, and the royal consorts had only suffered from a slight fright. The guards had now escorted them to the main hall.
