386 The truth comes to light (two updates)

The Emperor had no idea what the so-called "black pills" and "white pills" looked like, so he had no choice but to have the Dragon Shadow Guard bring all the medicines.

He also instructed the Dragon Shadow Guard not to alarm anyone.

With astonishing efficiency, the Dragon Shadow Guard swiftly and silently brought all the bottles and jars from Consort Jing's quarters.

While waiting for the medicines, the Emperor actually contemplated whether Xiao Liulang's words held any inconsistencies.

Generally speaking, given the martial skills of the Dragon Shadow Guard, they should have been capable of killing Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao; if Consort Jing truly had ordered an assassination against the two, they would have never backed off halfway through the mission.

However, the primary command of the Dragon Shadow Guard was to protect the Emperor and to never harm him. They served Consort Jing, yes, but they would not lose their lives over her tasks.
