Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks, looking at them nervously.
"Whether the Third Princess can survive depends on your cooperation," she said, lowering her eyelids and casting a cold gaze at the guards of Huaqing Palace.
The two guards turned pale at her words.
Offending Consort Shu meant certain death, but staying silent and causing harm to the Third Princess would result in the same grim outcome.
What were they to do?
"Why aren't you speaking? If Third Princess encounters any mishap, can you bear the consequences?" scolded the personal maid of Third Princess, her eyes filled with threats.
The guards looked at the Third Princess, who was being strangled by Gu Qingluan, appearing on the verge of losing consciousness.
The third Princess was the daughter of the Noble Consort, the most prestigious princess. If anything happened to her, they would undoubtedly lose their heads.
