Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: 1090: Chu Jinling is Stopped

Su Yingxue’s heart remained heavy with loss, a feeling that persisted until a few days before her delivery.

Shan Bao brought war reports to Su Yingxue, and upon seeing the contents, she learned that Su Hao’s forces had encountered some difficulties while advancing on three fronts, which had delayed the progress of the war.

“Is it just a slow progression? Brother’s battle is going too smoothly.” Su Yingxue sighed.

She cast a questioning glance at Shan Bao, who shook his head, clearly exhausted.

His sharp claws scratched the ground as if to say, no matter how hard he tried, he could not bring any more news.

“Shan Bao, you’ve worked hard. Go ahead and return the report quickly!”

Su Yingxue placed the report in Shan Bao’s mouth, taking care to wrap it in cloth so there would be no bite marks from Shan Bao.

Shan Bao moved swiftly, returning just as quickly, and if one hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that Su Yingxue learned about the outside world through Shan Bao, this enormous tiger.

Despite its huge size, its agility was comparable to a leopard’s, and it moved as quietly as a cat, landing silently no matter the destination.

Before leaving, Su Yingxue stroked its head, “If there are any other messages, bring them back to me. I’ll add a large lamb chop to your dinner tonight!”

Shan Bao let out a roar, no problem!

For a late-night snack, anything was possible!

Su Yingxue waited for Shan Bao for half an hour. When it returned, it held a piece of fabric in its mouth, not the one she used to wrap the report, but rather one that seemed to be violently torn from a person.

Shan Bao lifted his head and passed the fabric to Su Yingxue.

By touching it, Su Yingxue could tell it was a fabric worn by the Imperial family. Judging by the style and pattern, it seemed to be Chu Jinling’s favorite.

Su Yingxue stroked Shan Bao’s head, “Did you tear this from Chu Jinling?”

Shan Bao let out a roar, yes!

A sense of foreboding filled Su Yingxue’s heart. She took a leash, saying she wanted to take Shan Bao for a walk around the palace, and led it outside.

Given Shan Bao’s special status and its harmonious relationship with Su Yingxue, Chu Yihan didn’t object, and naturally, neither did the palace servants pay much attention.

Shan Bao directly led Su Yingxue towards Chu Jinling. It had been when passing by the harem that it heard the commotion and decided to frighten them a bit.

With Shan Bao leading, Su Yingxue arrived near the Noble Consort Xiao’s palace.

Chaos reigned there, with many palace guards deployed, all from Noble Consort Xiao’s palace.

Chu Jinling was engaged in a fierce fight with them.

Fearing for Su Yingxue’s safety, Shan Bao positioned itself in front of her, pacing back and forth. Emitting the king of the forest’s aura, it roared ferociously, “Roar—”

All those in the midst of the fray trembled violently!

One guard’s legs went weak, “Why is it this tiger again?”

They had barely managed to intercept Chu Jinling and now had narrowly avoided harm from the tiger!

However, Chu Jinling, quick-eyed and pinned to the ground, shouted, “Auntie! Save me!”

Su Yingxue’s eyebrows knit slightly, “Presumptuous! Release the Ninth Prince at once!”

The guards, not daring to disobey the empress’s words, dropped their weapons and kneeled, “This servant greets Your Majesty! We have disturbed Your Majesty, please forgive us!”

Su Yingxue glanced at Chu Jinling, who was still being restrained, her eyes sharp, “I said to release the Ninth Prince. Do my words carry no weight?”

“Would you dare disobey what I, your Imperial Aunt, command? Are you tired of living?”

Chu Jinling, teeth clenched, continued to struggle for release.
