Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Mu Lingyin has not been officially named a concubine yet, so she cannot call her "empress".

"My Lady, the princess will be trying on a royal concubine's dress tomorrow and will also need to learn some etiquette for becoming a royal concubine. Therefore, His Majesty, out of consideration for the princess, has specially arranged for her to stay in the palace tonight."

The maid of the Manxing Palace replied respectfully.

So, you'll just be staying in the palace temporarily tonight?

"It's getting late, Princess, you should go back soon." After saying goodbye to her, Mu Lingyin returned to Manxing Palace with the palace maid.

"Princess, dinner is ready. Do you want to go back and have it?" Qingcui beside her reminded her.

"Okay, let's go." She felt a little uneasy, wondering what Mu Mu was doing now?

The night was already getting dark, and the palace lanterns were lit everywhere, but some places were still dim. Fortunately, there were guards patrolling from time to time.

Huh? Where is this? She stopped.

"Qingcui, let's go..." Just as she opened her mouth in confusion, the little palace maid leading the way in front turned around with a cold look in her eyes.

Feng Xili's mind was filled with alarm, and the distance she had just created allowed her to narrowly avoid the attack.

Her face turned pale. Oh no! The plot has changed!

Without thinking too much, she turned around and ran, took out a pill from her arms and swallowed it, throwing a ball of powder behind her without even looking.

She had no time to look back, she just kept running. The guards who had been patrolling just now were nowhere to be seen.

What was going on? Was she angry because she had delayed someone's business?

She ran so hard that she was panting. She finally held onto a corner of the wall and looked back. There was no one behind her. Only the silent palace lantern was lit alone, barely illuminating that small area.

She suppressed her fear, took a few steps gently, found a hidden corner, and squatted in through the flowers.

Fortunately, she was not wearing a brightly colored dress today, so she was not very conspicuous in the dim flowers.

What should she do? She quietly observed the place. It was somewhat desolate and didn't seem like a place where people lived. Could she have wandered into some forbidden area of ​​the palace?

Feng Xili squatted for a while, but no one came to see her, but she didn't see anyone else passing by either. The night grew darker and the temperature dropped sharply. She rubbed her stiff hands.

Hiding like this is not a solution. She must find a way to go back, or find someone else.

She stood up and walked towards the place where the palace lanterns were. After walking a few steps and seeing no one, she walked faster and faster. She seemed to hear voices on the other side of the palace wall.

However, just as she was about to step forward, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, covered her mouth, and knocked her unconscious with a palm.

What the hell?

Emperor Qi Zhao finally finished a busy day's work. He was very efficient today and was in a good mood.

Fude hurried forward to help Emperor Qi Zhao change his clothes and wait for instructions.

At this time, a young eunuch came in from outside the door, whispered something to Fude, and then left.

"Your Majesty, Prince Mu Jiu requests to see you." Fude reported truthfully.

What is that kid doing here?

He twitched his lips and smiled, "Did these two have an appointment today?"

"Go tell the imperial kitchen to serve a few more dishes. I want to see what tricks these two are playing."

Ford immediately understood, "Yes."

"Greetings..." Mu Lanxun was surprised for a moment when he saw Emperor Qi Zhao leisurely appear at the door.

"No thanks, come with me." He waved his hand and walked to the other side without stopping.

Mu Lanxun followed with lowered head and obedient look, not asking too many questions, being honest and well-behaved.

Chunhui Palace.

Emperor Qi Zhao got off the dragon chariot and noticed something was wrong when he looked up. Why was there no one outside the palace?

Fude was shocked. Has the little ancestor not finished admiring the flowers yet?

"Your Majesty, Princess Liyou said she wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. I didn't dare to stop her, so I asked a palace maid from Chunhui Palace to accompany her."

It’s dark now, why appreciate the flowers?

Emperor Qi Zhao's face darkened. "The princess hasn't returned yet, and you haven't sent anyone to look for her? Are you all just waiting foolishly?"

Fude broke out in a cold sweat and quickly made arrangements.

Xier is here too?

Mu Lanxun thought secretly that she really had no time to spare.

Emperor Qi Zhao had just finished his tantrum and was about to enter the palace when his attention was attracted by a palace maid running towards him from a distance.

His eyes flashed with fire, and he glared at him, and Ford trotted over.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened in the Manxing Palace..." Before Fude could finish his words, Emperor Qi Zhao rushed out like the wind.

Mu Lanxun followed closely behind with a gloomy look.

The wind blew to the Manxing Palace, only to find a group of palace maids lying outside the palace. Emperor Qi Zhao roared, "Surround them!"

Immediately, a dozen or so people rushed in from outside the door, blocking the place from front to back and left to right.

Mu Lanxun's heart sank as he vaguely heard a familiar cry for help. Then he kicked the door open, and broken wood chips flew onto the two people in the room.

Mu Lingyin was being strangled by a masked man. When she saw someone breaking in, the man dodged and hid behind her, putting a short blade against her neck.

"How dare you!" Emperor Qi Zhao shouted angrily.

The masked man leaned close to Mu Lingyin's ear, and his cold voice made her shiver. "Tell me, is it better for you to die or for her to die?"

She shuddered all over, her mind went blank, and the woman who had just been smiling among the flowers kept flashing before her eyes.

"As long as you call out her name, I will let you go." The masked man continued to tempt her, "You will be a concubine soon, why are you still hesitating?"

Mu Lanxun keenly noticed what the man was saying. There was a struggle in his sister's eyes. His heart was pounding, and he shouted to the side: "Be careful!"

The two men subconsciously looked over there. The masked man had just turned halfway when he realized that he had been deceived. He was about to stab with the short blade in his hand, but was blocked by something soft.

Mu Lanxun took advantage of that brief moment and grasped the blade in a thrilling manner, while with his other hand he punched the man in the face.

Qi Zhaodi didn't care about the danger and went forward to pull Mu Lingyin over. The moment she was pulled over, she reached out and pulled off the masked man's veil.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was stunned. The person whose veil was pulled off looked panicked. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to the ground. The next moment, a raging fire broke out in the room.

At the same moment, there was a burst of explosion outside the house, flames appeared, and the sound of swords and knives could be heard.

The moment the window shattered, another masked man threw two flying knives. Mu Lanxun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he only had time to block one flying knife, but he caught a glimpse of the other one flying straight towards Qi Zhaodi's heart.

not good!

He steadied his body and stretched out his arm towards Emperor Qi Zhao.

"Puchi!" The flying knife shot into the back of Mu Lingyin who was hugging Qi Zhaodi tightly.

"Yin'er!!" Emperor Qi Zhao's eyes were bloodshot, and he was at a loss for a moment as he held the body that was constantly slipping away in his arms.

"Your Majesty, get out quickly!" The fire in the house has burned the hems of several people's clothes. They can't stay here any longer!

Emperor Qi Zhao gritted his teeth and picked up the person in his arms. Mu Lanxun protected him and brought him outside. He was then taken to a safe place by the dark armor guards who arrived.

When Mu Lanxun turned her head again, there was no one by the window.

"Yin'er!" A trembling voice came out of Qi Zhaodi's mouth, and his eyes turned red instantly.

Mu Lanxun was shocked to find that the wound on Mu Lingyin's back was bleeding black blood, and the knife was poisonous!

He took a step forward, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and poured out a pill.

"Your Majesty, the knife is poisoned. This is the unique soul elixir of the ghost doctor Ye Xing." He hurriedly explained. The poison looked extremely vicious. Mu Lingyin's face had begun to turn blue and purple.

Spirit Pill? Emperor Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment.

"Hurry and feed it to my sister." In a hurry, he pried open her mouth and stuffed the pill into her mouth.

"Royal sister, swallow it quickly!" he roared in her ear.

He waited until her throat moved before sitting down on the ground.

The imperial sister cannot die, otherwise no one can bear the emperor's wrath.

After the imperial doctors had settled Mu Lingyin, Emperor Qi Zhao looked at Mu Lanxun with a cold gaze.

"Where's the princess?! Haven't you found her yet?!"
