I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 388

Chapter 388

Mu Mingtang didn’t dare to let him stay in the room with the incense, so she quickly pulled him out. When she stepped over the door panel, she almost tripped by the door frame.
Xie Xuanchen didn’t look like he was fine, but he was very quick to support Mu Mingtang. After he caught her, he immediately held her tightly. In fact, she was actually in slight pain from his grip as he was holding onto her much stronger than he usually did.
It could be seen that his current situation was really not the greatest as he couldn’t even control his strength well.
Mu Mingtang held back and asked in a low voice, “How are you doing?”
Xie Xuanchen shook his head. The current situation was best described as being fortunate amongst unforeseen circumstances. Thankfully, he started taking treatment a long time ago, which was why he could already adapt to a small amount of Wu Yufei, but the concentration in the Emperor’s trap was still too high.
He didn’t intend to say more as he whispered, “Let’s go home.”
“Okay,” Mu Mingtang didn’t want to stay in this disgusting palace anymore. She immediately supported Xie Xuanchen to leave. The eunuchs had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only the two bodies on the ground and the damaged gate behind them.
The incense burner thrown out by Xie Xuanchen just now was probably the root of the problem. Xie Xuanchen was then looking for a source of the stimulation while enduring a painful headache inside, but he didn’t expect to hear a familiar voice halfway through his search, let alone those bastards who dared to attack her.
It was a coincidence that Xie Xuanchen found the source and threw it out.
They had just walked to the door when suddenly many imperial guards surrounded them, all of them fully armed. When Mu Mingtang saw these people, she instantly figured it out.
The eunuch who hadn’t even reported the incident had already collapsed before he could do so. How could the imperial guards have gotten the news that Xie Xuanchen was ‘insane’? And how could they accurately figure out the location of the incident without having anyone guide them through this maze of a palace?
It was conceivable that from the very beginning from these soldiers that they must have been waiting in order to make an ambush from the sides.
Today, the Emperor not only wanted to make Xie Xuanchen lose control in front of everyone and completely destroy his reputation; he wanted to make Xie Xuanchen disappear from this world.
If Xie Xuanchen were to lose control and kill innocent people indiscriminately in the palace, it would be deemed normal for the imperial guards to accidentally miss and kill Xie Xuanchen while subduing him, wouldn’t it?
No wonder those eunuchs dared to pinch Mu Mingtang just now. That was because in their plan, if Xie Xuanchen would undoubtedly die today, Mu Mingtang wasn’t going to have anyone on her side either.
When dealing with someone who was about to die, what was there to worry about?
Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen both looked furious when they saw the imperial guards, but they were also surprised when they saw Xie Xuanchen walking out of the palace in good order.
What’s happening here? Why did Xie Xuanchen look bad, but he didn’t look crazy? Now that Xie Xuanchen wasn’t taking the initiative to attack them, what should they do?
The imperial guards were thrown into disarray by unplanned changes and they couldn’t make up their minds for a while, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Seeing them sneer, Xie Xuanchen didn’t even bother to acknowledge them as he left with Mu Mingtang.
