The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

"You're the one who's dead!" Yin Yingzi interrupted sharply, her decades-long hatred erupting at this moment.

Ignoring everything else, she unleashed a palm strike at Luo Lan from a distance!

A black palm wind, imbued with malevolent energy, swept past: "Since you're here, leave your lives behind!"

"Mother! Breaking through is the priority!" Yin Ling'er shouted hurriedly, trying to stop her.

But when enemies meet, their eyes are filled with hatred. Now that Yin Yingzi has a physical form, how could she let go of this opportunity for revenge that she has been waiting for for decades?

"Protect the Empress Dowager!" Zhao Haoyang was prepared. He flashed forward and stood in front of Luo Lan, striking with both palms to block the angry blow!

"Oh!"

The two powerful forces collided, creating a shockwave that made everyone's clothes flutter.

Although Zhao Haoyang barely managed to catch it, he was still shaken so badly that his blood and qi surged. He took three steps back before he could regain his balance, and his face flushed red.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yunxi drew her sword without hesitation and stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Haoyang, the tip of her sword pointing at Yin Yingzi.

Luo Lan was pushed backward by the shockwave, but Zhao Meier reacted quickly and stepped forward to support her, preventing her from falling.

Taking advantage of the situation, Yin Ling'er grabbed Zhao Guo'an and moved step by step toward the palace gate.

Xiao Xizi and his guards followed closely, forming a semi-encirclement.

Although they dared not act out of concern for His Majesty's safety, they would never let them leave easily.

"Quickly! Send someone to inform His Highness the Crown Prince! His Majesty has been taken hostage, and the situation is critical!"

Xu Gonggong forced himself to remain calm and quickly arranged for manpower. At the same time, he exchanged glances with Xiao Xizi and kept a close eye on Yin Ling'er.

"Yin Ling'er! You have committed countless evils, which are intolerable to Heaven! You will not escape today!" Eunuch Xu shouted angrily, suppressing his surging blood and qi.

Yin Ling'er sneered repeatedly, pushing Zhao Guo'an forward again: "Then let's see! Is your blade faster, or is my determination to send His Majesty on his way faster! Get out of the way...!"

"Stop her! We must not let her take His Majesty away!" Zhao Haoyang forced back the metallic taste rising in his throat and gave the order in a stern voice.

Seeing this, Yin Yingzi sneered and waved her hands repeatedly, sending several black palm winds carrying a corrosive aura towards Zhao Haoyang and Zhou Yunxi!

Zhao Haoyang dared not confront the attack head-on, and instead cooperated with Zhou Yunxi, one defending and the other attacking, their swords flashing and palms clashing.

However, Yin Yingzi's skills were profound and unpredictable. When the two joined forces, Zhao Haoyang was able to barely resist, but Zhou Yunxi was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Seeing that Yin Yingzi had forced Zhou Yunxi back with one move, she moved like a ghost and rushed straight towards Empress Dowager Luo Lan.

Eunuch Xu could no longer care about anything else and shouted, "Protect the Empress Dowager!"

Then, together with Zhao Meier, they stood in front of Luo Lan.

Upon receiving the news, Zhao Haoli also stumbled over.

When he saw his mother using her arm to pull his unconscious father away step by step, he was struck dumb, his face turned deathly pale, and a tearing pain shot through his chest.

"Mother...Mother!" Zhao Haoli's voice trembled with disbelief and despair: "Release Father! I beg you! Release Father!"

When Yin Ling'er saw Zhao Haoli, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said urgently, "Li'er! You've finally called me Mother again!"

That's wonderful! Quick! Come with Mother!

We'll take your father, the Emperor, and the three of us and leave this place of trouble. We'll find a place where no one knows us and live a good life!

Yes! We're going to the Kingdom of Wa! My mother wants you to be the emperor of Wa!

"In the future... if you still wish to be the emperor of Great Xia, your mother will definitely help you, help you reclaim the throne! Is that alright?"

"Mother! Wake up! Don't make the same mistake again!"

Zhao Haoli burst into tears, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Majesty, I beg you! Release Father! I don't want to be an emperor, I only want Father to be safe and sound, I only want my family... at least... at least to be alive..."

"Release him? If you release him, your mother will die! She will die, don't you understand?!"

Yin Ling'er screamed, her emotions spiraling out of control: "Li'er! Your mother raised you from childhood and loves you the most!"

"Be good! Come with your mother! As long as you come with us, your mother will grant you anything!"

"Impossible!" Zhao Haoli suddenly raised his head, his face still wet with tears, but his eyes became incredibly firm, even carrying a hint of resolute coldness.

"I, Zhao Haoli, was born a man of the Great Xia, and I will die a ghost of the Great Xia!"

I will never go with you, much less betray my country! Mother, release Father immediately!

Meanwhile, Zhao Haoyang, Eunuch Xu, and Zhou Yunxi were locked in a fierce battle with Yin Yingzi.

The three worked together seamlessly, their swords flashing and palm strikes whistling, managing to fight Yin Yingzi to a standstill for a time.

Seeing her enemy Luo Lan right in front of her, yet being held captive, Yin Yingzi's violent temper grew stronger.

A glint of green flashed in her eyes, and a fierce look appeared on her face: "You forced me to do this!"

She suddenly feinted, forcing Eunuch Xu to retreat.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he pulled out a pill the size of a longan, which was jet black but emitted a faint green light from his pocket, and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation!

"Gulp." The pill entered her stomach.

In an instant, Yin Yingzi's body swelled up as if it were being inflated.

The malevolent aura emanating from his body surged and rolled like solid ink, his aura suddenly rising to a terrifying level!

"Oh no! She used a secret drug!" Zhao Haoyang exclaimed.

Yin Yingzi's strength has skyrocketed, with her speed and power increasing several times over!

With her five fingers forming claws and a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, she suddenly grabbed at Zhou Yunxi's face, who was slightly weaker!

If that claw had landed firmly, Zhou Yunxi's head would have been shattered!

"Brother Zhou, be careful!" Zhao Meier, who had been watching the battle closely, turned pale.

Without thinking, almost instinctively, she used all her strength to rush over, her slender body resolutely blocking Zhou Yunxi's path!

"Mei'er—!!" Zhou Yunxi's eyes widened in horror as she let out a heart-wrenching scream!

"Princess!!" Everyone who witnessed this scene gasped in shock!

"Pfft!" Yin Yingzi's claws, imbued with terrifying power, slapped towards Zhao Meier's thin back.

Yin Yingzi paused slightly, trying to withdraw her full strength, but it was too late.

Looking at Zhao Meier, whose body had been struck by seven-tenths of her palm force, a faint surprise flashed in her eyes, which then turned into deeper disgust and anger: "You brat! Why are you looking for death!"

"Royal sister!!" Zhao Haoli screamed in pain!

Yin Ling'er's gaze was also drawn to this side.

When she saw Zhao Meier being photographed by her mother, she trembled violently, and an indescribable heartache suddenly overwhelmed her!

She had always disliked this daughter, secretly loathing her because her features resembled Luo Lan's.

But when her daughter lay dying before her eyes, a deep, visceral pain gripped her heart.

But... this is her and His Majesty's first child, the first piece of flesh that fell from her body.

Mother… Mother, how could she… how could she be so cruel!

With her mother's current strength, would Mei'er still be alive after that blow?

Just as Yin Ling'er was shaken to her core by Zhao Mei'er's serious injury and momentarily lost her senses!

Zhao Haoli, who had been kneeling on the ground, had a glint in his eyes that was a mixture of endless pain and determination!

He knew this was his only chance!

"Do it!"

He silently chanted in his heart, and his body suddenly sprang up from the ground, rushing towards Yin Ling'er at top speed.

Her goal was to rescue her father, Emperor Zhao Guoan, who was unconscious in her arms!

Yin Ling'er felt a gust of evil wind rushing towards her, and was startled. She didn't even have time to turn her head to see who it was.

Her instincts, honed from long-term exposure to dangerous environments, made her raise her hand and strike without hesitation!

This palm strike contained all the cultivation she had just recovered, and it was extremely ruthless!

"boom!"

A palm strike imbued with chilling spiritual energy landed squarely on Zhao Haoli's chest!

"Crack!" A clear sound of bone breaking rang out.

Zhao Haoli's forward momentum suddenly halted, blood gushed from his mouth, and his body slumped backward before crashing heavily to the ground.

Only then did Yin Ling'er suddenly turn her head and see clearly the figure she had knocked away with a single palm strike.

—It was her son, Zhao Haoli, whom she cherished as her own life and placed her hopes on!

"Li...Li'er?!!"

Yin Ling'er's mind went blank, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

She released her grip on Zhao Guoan and pounced on Zhao Haoli like a madwoman, wanting to pick him up but not daring to touch him.

"Li'er! It's you! How could it be you!"

She let out a shrill, inhuman wail: "Mother didn't mean it! Mother really didn't mean it!"

Are you in pain? I'm so sorry... so sorry... Li'er, look at your mother!

"Mother...Mother, I have already repaid your kindness in giving me life, please don't...make any more mistakes." After Zhao Haoli finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly, his breath barely audible, and he did not respond to her cries.

Seeing that Zhao Guoan had escaped, Xiao Xizi, who had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately flew forward, wanting to snatch the emperor back.

However, Yin Yingzi also noticed the strange change here!

She abandoned the seriously injured Zhao Meier and the grief-stricken Zhou Yunxi, and in a flash, she appeared in front of Xiao Xizi, her palm carrying a sharp wind, and slammed it hard into Xiao Xizi's chest!

"Pfft—" Xiao Xizi flew several meters away and could not get up again.

Yin Yingzi didn't even glance at Xiao Xizi. She grabbed the unconscious Zhao Guoan and then lifted up Yin Ling'er, who was crying incessantly because her son was seriously injured.

Her cold, venomous gaze swept across the entire room.

Seeing the crowd in chaos and grief due to the double injuries of Zhao Meier and Zhao Haoli, he shouted sternly.

"I'll remember Luo Lan's life for now! But if anyone dares to make a move again, I'll take Zhao Guo'an's life immediately!"

Her voice was as cold as ice, carrying an undeniable threat.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden series of changes.

Seeing Zhao Meier and Zhao Haoli, whose fates were unknown, and the emperor being held hostage, no one dared to take another step forward.

That old hag has gone completely insane!

If you push her too far, His Majesty might really lose his life!

Yin Yingzi snorted coldly and didn't linger.

With Zhao Guoan in his right hand and the seemingly insane Yin Ling'er in his left, his figure transformed into a blurry black shadow, disappearing into the palace's many halls and pavilions in a few leaps.

What remained was a scene of devastation and overwhelming grief and indignation.

"Li'er... Mei'er...!" Empress Dowager Luo Lan cried out and fainted to the ground, the scene completely out of control.
