Chapter 1390: The Target Switches to Her_1

Faint footsteps came from outside, and they belonged to more than one person—it had to be the same group of Holy Guards from just now!

Both Princess Yingtong and the Queen showed a look of horror on their faces. The Holy Guards hadn't found this yard before, allowing them the fortune of going undetected, but would they be so lucky this time?

Bai Ruozhu's fingertips were already poised with poison. If discovered by the Holy Guards, she would have no choice but to take down as many as she could.

Fortunately, the Holy Guards passed by once more without entering the yard. As the footsteps gradually faded away, all three of them let out a sigh of relief in unison.

However, they couldn't hide here forever. What if the Holy Guards returned?

But venturing out now, with some distance still to the Palace Gate, was too risky, even though the Queen's mobility had improved.
