The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

They rubbed their sleepy eyes, stretched themselves, and excitedly began to prepare to get off the boat. After staying on the boat for so long, they almost forgot the feeling of being on solid ground.

But when they packed up their things and gathered on the deck, they did not see Xiao Se, Xiao Yu, Mo Luyi and Zhao Yuzhen appear.

So they split up and went to the cabin where the others were staying to look for them. However, after searching for a while, they were surprised to find that Xiao Se and the others had disappeared. After a little thought, everyone realized that Mo Luyi must have taken them away by flying on a sword.

Everyone's faces were solemn and filled with worry, as if a heavy rock weighed down their hearts. Seeing this, Tang Lian quickly spoke to comfort them, "Don't worry, everyone. With Senior Mo and Xuan Jianxian accompanying us, the journey should be safe. With their abilities, even if we encounter some trouble, they won't be the ones to suffer."

Lei Wujie on the side nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Of course! And with Sister Luyi's speed, those people with bad intentions might have already reached their destination before they even realize it!" However, despite Tang Lian and Lei Wujie's best efforts to appease them, the others still looked a little depressed.

At this moment, Li Hanyi, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up: "Since your heart is set on Apocalypse, why are you hesitating and sighing here? Apocalypse City is right there. Do you really need someone to lead the way?"

Her words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears. They were stunned for a moment, then glanced at each other, seemingly seeing a glimmer of ignited fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Soon, the boat slowly docked. Everyone stood up and packed their belongings. Before leaving, they all came to Mu Chunfeng, clasped their fists and bowed, saying, "Mr. Mu, thank you for this. We'll see you again in Tianqi City!" Mu Chunfeng smiled and bowed in return, expressing his anticipation for their reunion.

Li Hanyi then turned and began his journey back to Xueyue City. The others, without hesitation, set off in the direction of Tianqi, gradually moving further away.

On the other hand, Xiao Se and others rushed back to Tianqi City that night, and they went straight to the palace without stopping. Mo Luyi felt the same breath as Zhuoqing from afar, and knew that Jin Xuan was here.

She didn't want to see that guy, so she used her internal force to let Xiao Yu and Xiao Se down from above and said, "Now that you're here, you can go in by yourselves." Then the two of them watched them go in from the roof.

However, what they did not expect was that when they arrived at the door of Emperor Mingde's bedroom, they were blocked by Eunuch Jinxuan.

Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan stood at the door of the palace with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He asked with a dignified look on his face, "Who is so bold as to trespass into the palace?"

Hearing the question from Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan, Xiao Yu showed no fear. He took a step forward and said loudly, "I am the Red King Xiao Yu. The man next to me is my sixth brother Xiao Chuhe. I'm here for my father!"

After Jin Xuan's monitoring, he narrowed his eyes and looked up and down carefully at Xiao Yu, Xiao Se and others.

After a moment, he snorted coldly and said, "Humph, everyone knows that the Sixth Prince was banished from the capital several years ago and has yet to return to Tianqi City. And His Royal Highness the Red Prince, the Emperor has already issued an edict, ordering him to go to a Taoist temple to concentrate on cultivation, and he will not return to the capital in the short term. So not only did you trespass into the palace, you also dared to impersonate His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince and His Royal Highness the Red Prince. How bold!"

Facing the challenge from Eunuch Jin Xuan, Xiao Se's face was as gloomy as water, and he responded coldly: "So, may I ask, Eunuch Jin Xuan, are you planning to take action against us?"

The corners of Jin Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of disdain, and he slowly said, "I am responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial palace, so I am naturally responsible for the safety of His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore..."

Having said that, he suddenly waved his arm, and in an instant, countless guards in black emerged from all directions like ghosts, surrounding Xiao Yu, Xiao Se and others.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a secret guard who was guarding Emperor Mingde not far outside the bedroom suddenly flashed and rushed towards the side hall where Marquis Jinyi Lanyue was like an arrow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Marquis Lan Yue lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His mind reeled in images of Emperor Mingde's increasingly haggard face and deteriorating condition, filling him with worry. So, he sat up, lit a candle, and began to read a book from the bedside, trying to distract himself from his inner unease.

At that moment, a dark figure flashed into the room like a ghost. Marquis Lan Yue was startled, but years of experience in the court quickly helped him regain his composure. A secret guard in black nightgown knelt on one knee, reporting the recent emergency. Marquis Lan Yue was delighted to hear of Xiao Chuhe's return, but the following words furrowed his brow, a look of solemnity taking hold.

"Hmph! It seems Jin Xuan is becoming even more daring and reckless!" Marquis Lan Yue cursed under his breath. He abruptly stood up, slammed the book in his hands on the table, and hurried to the door. Several trusted aides were already waiting outside. When they saw Marquis Lan Yue emerge, they all bowed in greeting.

"Follow me!" Lan Yuehou gave the order, and everyone followed closely behind, their steps hurried but steady. Along the way, Lan Yuehou was extremely anxious and kept urging them to speed up.

At the same time, the atmosphere where Xiao Se and the others were was extremely tense, as if even the air was about to freeze. Xiao Se glanced coldly at the guards around him who were staring at him with eager eyes. Although his heart was burning with anger, he still maintained an extraordinary calmness.

Thinking about the tendons and veins that had been injured by Zhuoqing before, when he saw these eunuchs now, he felt only disgust. He felt that these people were like rats in the dark, disgusting but also avoidable.

Xiao Yu on the side clenched his fists tightly, with veins bulging on his arms, looking as if he was ready to fight the enemy to the death at any time.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lan Yuehou leading a group of trusted followers rushing to the scene.

"Jin Xuan, what on earth do you mean by this? How dare you stop the person Your Majesty wants to see!" Lan Yuehou arrived before him, but his voice had already arrived, his commanding voice echoing throughout the courtyard. When Eunuch Jin Xuan heard Lan Yuehou's shout, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Marquis Lan Yue strode up to Jin Xuan and stared at him sharply.
