Chapter 453 Manluo, why are you here?

Manluo landed in front of Xiyan, her purple dress rustling in the firelight. Her face was as charming as usual, but her eyes were as cold as a knife:

"Xiyan, don't be afraid, our good sisters are here!"

Yan Feng was forced to take two steps back by the long sword in Manluo's hand. He looked at the suddenly appearing Manluo in surprise and doubt, wondering when this woman had sneaked into the palace.

"Manluo, why are you here?"

Xiyan looked at Manluo's familiar back, her tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and her eyes felt a little hot - in this deep palace where everyone wanted to kill her, there was still someone who came for her.

Then, she subconsciously looked behind Manluo, but did not see anyone there, and felt a little disappointed.

Xiao Nanyue, he must be seriously injured.

Manluo looked back at her with a smile:

"Silly girl, I have been protecting you in the palace these days."

Xiyan was slightly stunned. Manluo was right next to her, how could she not notice?

Suddenly, she smiled.

How could she forget that Manluo was an expert in the art of makeup, and who could notice she could easily disguise herself as a palace maid?

"Xiyan, this is not the place to talk. Let me kill Yan Feng, this cunning slave, first!"

After Manluo finished speaking, her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the long sword in her hand shot out like a spirit snake, heading straight for Yan Feng's face.

Yan Feng did not dare to delay and drew out his long sword to block. The two men immediately engaged in a fight, their weapons colliding with each other, each move fatal and dazzling to watch.

Here, the fight between Helian Feng and Xiao Beicheng also entered a white-hot stage. Xiao Beicheng's swordsmanship was sinister and cunning, and every move hit the vital points. Although Helian Feng fought hard, he gradually felt the strain.

Seeing this, Mingying stepped forward with a long blade in hand to help, trying to share Helian Feng's pressure.

Su Qinyao stood aside, looking at the stalemate in front of her, and couldn't help feeling a little impatient. She looked into the distance frequently, thinking to herself: It's time for Zou Xu to mobilize the imperial guards.

At this moment, a series of orderly sounds of armor clashing came from far away, accompanied by high-raised torches that illuminated the night sky.

Su Qinyao was overjoyed. She looked carefully and saw that it was indeed Zou Xu who had arrived with two thousand imperial guards and surrounded the place.

She hurriedly shouted, "Zou Xu, hurry up and kill Xiao Beicheng and Zi Sha, these traitors!"

Before she finished her words, a white light flashed in front of her like lightning.

Su Qinyao felt a chill on her neck and subconsciously touched it, only to find a silver hairpin on her neck. The sharp tip of the hairpin was pressing against her neck, leaving a thin line of blood.

Su Qinyao looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. She was wearing white clothes as white as snow, and her pretty face was as cold as ice. It was Xiyan.

She was horrified and her voice was trembling:

"You... weren't you hit by the Suo Yuan Powder?"

It turned out that after Xiyan took the antidote, her power recovered by 10%.

Seeing Zou Xu arriving with the imperial guards, she was afraid that they would hurt Manluo, so she made a quick decision and took advantage of the fact that no one was guarding her and she, who was unable to exert her internal strength, took Su Qinyao hostage.

As long as the Queen Mother is in hand, Zou Xu and others would not dare to act rashly.

Xiyan ignored Su Qinyao's panic, stared at Zou Xu sharply, and said in a deep voice:

"Kill Xiao Beicheng and his gang, and don't hurt Manluo!"

Manluo caught a glimpse of this sudden change in the scene and smiled brightly at Xiyan:

"Xiyan, well done! Today, we two sisters will turn this palace upside down!"

Seeing this, everyone present stopped fighting and turned their eyes to Su Qinyao who was being held hostage and Xiyan who was holding the silver hairpin.

Helian Feng looked at this scene, his body trembled slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes:

"Xiyan, don't kill her."

Xi Yan snorted coldly, her tone leaving no room for doubt: "Then shoot your arrows and kill Xiao Beicheng and his gang!"

Helian Feng nodded immediately: "Okay! I promise you!"

Seeing this, Xiao Beicheng laughed in anger: "Helian Feng, you are so quick to destroy the bridge after crossing it!"

At this time, Helian Shu stepped forward and glared at Helian Feng: "Brother Huang, you are not allowed to kill my father!"

Helian Feng was furious: "Are you going to watch my mother being killed?"

Helian Shu looked like she had heard a joke, her face full of sarcasm:

"Queen Mother? During the Yunqiu Rebellion, she chose to sacrifice me in order to preserve your imperial power. From then on, she is no longer my Queen Mother!"

Su Qinyao was shocked and angry, pointing at Helian Shu and scolding:

"Shu'er, how could you be so cruel! You ungrateful bastard, I really loved you so much in vain!"

Xiyan watched the scene of mother and daughter feuding and brother and sister arguing with cold eyes, and her heart was filled with chill.

For the sake of power and interests, family affection has long become worthless among the people in this deep palace. Everyone is scheming and killing each other for their own selfish desires. It is really sad and ridiculous.

Manluo, however, was watching with great interest, clapping her hands and laughing:

"What a dog-eat-dog drama! It's absolutely brilliant!"
