Chapter 110 Confrontation

Qin Zhaoyue was stunned. What happened? Why did her merit value become zero?

That shouldn't be the case. Although it's not enough for advancement, she should have saved quite a bit. Could it be that this golden finger would embezzle her merits?

After confirming it many times, Qin Zhaoyue had to accept this fact, and she also had some guesses.

Judging from the expressions of Yinzhe and Liuyan, the fact that her true qi can heal injuries is outrageous and should be beyond the normal scope.

She clearly still had some true energy in her body, but the healing effect suddenly disappeared. Could it be because this effect required the consumption of merit points?

The more Qin Zhaoyue thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Saving people accumulates merits, and using merits to save people is reasonable and logical, a perfect closed loop.

Qin Zhaoyue opened his eyes and looked very ugly.

Tsk... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved that loser Pei Xueqiao. Maybe it would have been just enough to save my elder sister.

The problem is a bit tricky because the merits of flood control and disaster relief are not settled in real time.

According to previous experience, you must complete the disaster relief work effectively wherever you go, and only then will you be given merit points when you leave.

Huh… Huh…

After taking a few deep breaths, Qin Zhaoyue wiped his face.

"Your Highness, do you need anything? Are you feeling unwell? Can I get you some warmth by the bonfire?"

Sui Mo was surprised that the Sixth Princess came out of the tent shortly after entering it.

Qin Zhaoyue shook his head. It was such a horrible weather. It would get wet again after being dry for a while.

"Gather everyone, I have something to say."

After that, he went to the eldest princess's shelter again, "How long can my eldest sister hold on now?"

Neither of them expected her to come back so soon. Liu Yan was silent for a few breaths before speaking:

"Thanks to the Sixth Prince's treatment, the injury has improved. So... about two or three days?"

Liu Yan was not absolutely sure and could only give an approximate time.

"This is the poison of vitality. Your Highness's treatment has somewhat loosened the Qi and vitality in the eldest princess' body, but it's not complete.

But even with my pressure, this connection still penetrated every pore, but the rate of deterioration was controlled.

I suspect that unless all the toxins are eliminated at once, there is no way to truly awaken vitality."

Qin Zhaoyue sighed and understood that to save his elder sister, he not only needed to control the flood, but also needed to accumulate enough merit points.

She looked at Yin Zhe beside her with burning eyes, "I need you to trust me."

Yinzhe cupped his hands and said, "Sixth Prince, please speak."

"To save my elder sister, we must first control the flood," Qin Zhaoyue said with a wave of his hand. "Don't ask why, I can't explain it."

In order to save people, she has revealed a lot. If it weren't for the cooperation of Xuanji Guard, she would never have said this.

The atmosphere in the shelter suddenly became solemn.

Clearly, his Qi could save people, but he stopped midway, and now he's making this request...

Both of them were palace guards, and in an instant they thought of many things, such as the struggle for power among the royal heirs.

Now the eldest princess in the disaster relief team has been poisoned and is unconscious, and the fifth prince has been sent to Bailu Prefecture to distribute disaster relief food.

If the Sixth Princess wants to seize the right to speak, now is the best time.

Could it be... like this?

Was his previous laziness all an act? Was he threatening them with the only way to save the princess?

Yinzhe didn't avoid it, his eyes met Qin Zhaoyue's, and after a few breaths he said, "Okay, what do you need me to do?"

Now that she had spoken, Liu Yan had to suppress whatever thoughts he had.

Although they are both captains of Xuanji Guard, their identities are different.

Qin Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that from an outsider's perspective, this request seemed very strange.

He could use his true energy to save people but he didn't use it. Instead, he was thinking of taking away his elder sister's job and had to step forward at this time.

The silence just now was enough to show that perhaps the two people in front of him had already thought about "fighting for the throne".

God have mercy on me, Qin Zhaoyue really didn't have this idea, but he couldn't explain more.

"Complete the rescue and relief work in Longmen County as quickly as possible, and then leave."

"Okay." Yinzhe's answer was neat and clear, without any hesitation.

When she walked out of the shelter again, she followed Qin Zhaoyue.

Not far away, all the imperial guards temporarily stopped their work, and now they could only find more than 200 people.

Qin Zhaoyue stood beside the huge bonfire, with Yinzhe and Suimo following on his left and right.

"I am in charge of the flood control in Longmen County. It must be completed within one day."

Liu Yan said it would take two or three days, but he couldn't be sure, so of course the sooner the better.

After he finished speaking, the soldiers below fell silent.

Most of the remaining people are the imperial guards and the eldest princess's personal guards. They are all confused about her "power grab" for a while. Even the deputy general who had followed Qin Zhaoyue before became alert in an instant.

The rain was pouring down, and the atmosphere suddenly became very strange. No one answered for a while.

Meng Jian frowned and instantly thought of the dispute over the royal heir.

But the Sixth Princess's behavior along the way... if it was all disguised and hidden, her scheming is too terrifying.

No! He didn't think so. Could it be that the eldest princess's injury had reached a critical point?

Meng Jian wanted to stand up and show his support, but his steps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't take that step.

Because he represents not only himself, but the entire Meng family.

The Meng family's ancestral teachings state that one must never get involved in party disputes!

Meng Jian did not move, the princess's deputy general did not move, and naturally the imperial guards and personal guards did not move.

The heavy rain lashed the feathery compound leaves of the locust tree. The cracked bark absorbed the rainwater, and winding tear marks flowed in the dark brown gullies.

At the moment when lightning split the clouds, the water droplets on the leaves reflected an eerie blue light, as if the entire locust tree forest suddenly opened millions of cold pupils.

Standing opposite each other, it seemed as if they had really become two parties, confronting each other silently.

Qin Zhaoyue said this and then remained silent. He had already anticipated this situation, so he took the initiative to find Yinzhe to explain.

She was waiting for Yinzhe to step forward and reveal his identity as a Xuanji Guardian, and take over the disaster relief work in Longmen County in an open and aboveboard manner.

But after waiting for a long time, several lightning flashes passed, but there was still no movement behind him.

What happened? Did he change his mind at the last minute? Or did he not understand her hint?

This shouldn't be the case. Xuanji Wei doesn't even have this much sensitivity?

At this moment, it was Sui Mo on the left who took a step forward.

The two brow peaks were like unsheathed swords, carving a deep valley between the eyebrows, the wings of the nose twitched slightly, and the corners of the lips were pursed into a thread that was about to break.

His right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the veins on his knuckles were like spider webs due to excessive force.

When he raised his head, his eyes were full of determination...

[ps] Thank you all for your follow-up, urging for updates and gifts, thank you!

The data continues to drop sharply. Oh, it's hard to bear. There's not enough food to eat...

By the way, do you want to post one chapter at a time as before, or post them all at once after you finish writing them?
