Chapter 120 Jay Chou embraces the queen
A moment later, the queen came to the outer hall wearing a windbreaker.
Jay Chou felt distressed when he saw the Queen’s haggard face and frowning brows, but he never dared to express his love for the Queen in words or on his face.
"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen." Jay Chou bowed respectfully. At this moment, Jay Chou's body was covered with wounds. He had managed to escape with great difficulty.
"No need to be polite. Just tell me how things are going." The Queen's tone was calm on the surface, but she was actually filled with mixed emotions and was eager to know the situation.
Jay Chou just glanced at the Queen. He endured the pain in his body, not daring to stand up, and knelt on the ground with his knees. He felt ashamed because he had not completed the task assigned by the Queen.
Jay Chou lowered his head and replied, "I deserve to die! I deserve to die! It's all my fault for being useless."
Jay Chou cursed himself for being useless while slapping himself hard.
Lanxiang, who was standing by, watched Jay Chou slap himself, and she felt the pain from the sound.
The Queen couldn't help but find it a little funny when she saw Jay Chou's appearance at this moment. Needless to say, she knew the general situation.
There was no emotion on the Queen's face, and she seemed to not care at all about Jay Chou's failed assassination attempt.
"Get to the point. I want to know everything you've been through." At this time, the queen also noticed that Director Zhou seemed to be injured, because when he slapped her, his hands were a little unnatural, and his body did not seem very stable when he was kneeling there.
In the past, when Jay Chou punished himself, he would not even blink, nor would his face show any expression of pain, but today was different.
"My lady, I have suffered two losses before. I know that they have powerful guards around them. This time, I have sent out all the assassins of the Black Moon Organization. It should be foolproof, but..."
Director Zhou paused for a moment and continued, "But I don't know where a group of more powerful organizations came out. They wore hideous masks, and we had more people than them. They knew they couldn't resist, so they ran away quietly."
"You have more than 500 people. Can't you spare some people to capture Concubine Wan and the others?" The queen's voice was still calm. She held her forehead, which hurt more severely, and at the same time, the anger in her heart became even worse.
"This is what I want to say next. I led a group of people to chase after Wan Guiren and his group. When I thought I was about to catch up with them, a thick fog suddenly arose and visibility was almost zero."
"Our people were scattered everywhere, and the fog was lingering. By the time we got out of the fog, Wan Guiren and his men had disappeared." As Mr. Zhou spoke, his voice became even quieter.
The queen's face was filled with anger, her chest heaving violently, her eyes widened, and her usually dignified and noble demeanor was gone and could no longer be maintained.
She raised her foot and fiercely kicked Zhou Dong who was kneeling on the ground, and angrily shouted: "A bunch of useless things, I have supported you for so many years in vain!"
The kick was so powerful that Jay Chou was knocked to the ground.
The queen was unwell and could not stand steadily, so she fell backwards suddenly.
Lan Xiang, who was standing by, turned pale with fear, her eyes widened in horror, and she immediately rushed forward to help the queen, shouting, "Your Majesty!"
However, Lanxiang was just a weak and fragile maid after all. Her speed was far from keeping up with the speed at which the queen fell. She was unable to support the queen.
Although Jay Chou didn't dare to look up at the queen, he always paid close attention to her every move, especially her feet.
When he found that the queen was about to fall, he had just been kicked to the ground, but he reacted instantly, stomped his feet hard on the ground, and jumped up nimbly.
In less than a second, he was in front of the queen, and quickly stretched out his hands to hold the queen's slender waist.
It turned out that the queen was about to hit the ground with her head, but was caught steadily by Jay Chou.
Jay Chou hugged the queen, whose body was soft and comfortable. Jay Chou asked softly, "Queen, are you okay?"
The Queen then came to her senses and realized that she did not fall to the ground, but was lying in Jay Chou's arms. If she had really fallen, the consequences would be disastrous, and she was scared just thinking about it.
The queen felt extremely ashamed. It was so undignified that she was held in the arms of a servant.
However, in the little corner of the queen's heart, she felt a little grateful, and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, but the anger on her face did not subside, and she still said majestically: "Why don't you let me go? How long are you going to hold me?"
Director Zhou hurriedly obeyed the order and carefully placed the queen on the chair. Lanxiang immediately stepped forward, poured a cup of tea and said, "I was really scared just now. Fortunately, you are okay, Madam. Madam, I will make you a cup of tea to calm you down."
The Queen took the tea handed over by Lanxiang, took a sip, and then said, "Lanxiang, you go down first. I have something to ask Director Zhou."
Since Jay Chou was a eunuch staying by the Queen's side, Lanxiang wouldn't think too much about it.
In fact, Jay Chou is not a eunuch at all. His background has been mentioned before, and he is also the queen's most trusted confidant. Therefore, the queen used a backdoor to get him into the palace, and he is not as impotent as a eunuch.
After obeying the order, Lanxiang turned and walked out of the queen's bedroom.
Director Zhou knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hug you just now. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
The Queen originally wanted to punish Jay Chou, but seeing how sincere he was and how he had devoted himself to her over the years, she decided to let it go as she would still be able to use him in the future.
"No one is allowed to mention what happened just now. You saved me, and I won't blame you."
"I also want to ask you why you took so long to come back? Three days ago, the emperor sent a thousand elite soldiers, the imperial physician, and the wet nurse to Qingliang Terrace. Today, I also heard that the emperor went to Qingliang Terrace to visit Concubine Wan, who gave birth to twins. Both mother and child are safe. How do you explain this?"
"My queen, later on, when Prince Guo's reinforcements arrived, some of our men were killed, some were injured, and I was no exception. Their reinforcements threw a smoke bomb with sleeping pills on it, and I fainted. When I woke up, there were about fifty of us locked up in a stone cell deep in the mountains. I almost died and could not come back."
The queen was thoughtful. She had a headache and was thinking about what Mr. Zhou said, "A prison cell built of stones in the mountains?"
