Chapter 192: Off the Mark

The emperor was lying on the dragon couch, dying, still mumbling incoherently.

All the concubines, led by the Queen, knelt on the ground, and soft sobs could be heard from time to time. Several princes and their concubines were also there, and of course Xiao Zirui and Yun Bailian were there too.

Yun Qingqing ignored the palace servants' obstruction and rushed in to see this scene.

Everyone turned around when they heard the voice, and when they saw her, they gasped and had different expressions. Many of the concubines in particular showed a hint of fear and subconsciously shrank their bodies.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

Yun Qingqing frowned, not caring about anything else, and walked straight towards the dragon bed.

Suddenly someone stood in front of her and said sternly:

"Hurry up and send someone to protect me! Take this witch down!"

Several imperial guards immediately rushed in from the door and tried to arrest her.

Yun Qingqing's face darkened and he shouted coldly:

"You are blind! I wonder who dares to touch this princess!"

Her aura was so strong that it shook the hearts of everyone present. They didn't expect that they would feel the same sense of oppression from a woman as from the Regent of the God of Evil.

The imperial guards were frightened and stopped in their tracks. For a moment, they could neither advance nor retreat, and stood there at a loss.

Yun Qingqing looked at Xiao Zirui coldly:

“Get out of the way!”

Xiao Zirui met her sharp gaze and subconsciously took a step back. Then he suddenly came back to his senses and said angrily:

"What are you still pretending to be? You made the magic disappear without a trace. The palace maids and several porters saw it with their own eyes! What else do you have to say?"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes.

Before she left with the magic talisman, she deliberately knocked out two palace maids, just to make people think that she was just slipping away when no one was paying attention.

I didn’t expect that after a few days of leaving, it became a statement that many people had “seen it with their own eyes”.

It's easy to imagine that those so-called witnesses were instructed by someone.

Her eyes swept over everyone and landed on the queen.

"What the hell did you do to my sister, you monster?!"

Yun Bailian suddenly rushed up, but didn't dare to get close. She half-hid behind Xiao Zirui, grabbed his arm, and looked at Yun Qingqing with red eyes.

"No wonder my sister's personality has changed so much since she married the Regent. She's not as gentle and kind as before. It turns out that my sister is no longer the same sister! You killed my sister, didn't you?"

Yun Qingqing looked at her coldly:

"Have you finished talking in your sleep? If you're done, get out of here! Don't force me to do anything!"

Xiao Zirui immediately stood in front of Yun Bailian:

"What? You're so angry just because your identity as a monster was exposed? Do you really think no one can stop you?!"

Yun Qingqing's patience ran out, and she walked straight forward, ready to slap anyone who tried to stop her.

But Xiao Zirui suddenly took out a yellow talisman and threw it at her, shouting:

"Monsters, retreat!"

Yun Bailian's eyes lit up with excitement, and she screamed:

"Monster, give my sister back to me!"

Yun Qingqing reached out and took the talisman.

It turned out to be a talisman to ward off evil spirits. To say that it was a deliberate act to frame her was a bit too much.

Does this guy really think of himself as a monster?

she:"……"

It's really outrageous.

When Xiao Zirui saw that the exorcism talisman had no effect on her, his confident expression fell apart.

He immediately took out a small peach wood sword tied with a red rope and threw it at Yun Qingqing.

"All evil spirits will be defeated! Destroy them!"

Yun Qingqing raised her hand to catch the decorative peach wood sword, and with a simple force, it broke into two pieces with a "click".

Xiao Zirui's face turned pale:

"Why, why is it useless..."

Yun Qingqing was almost laughed at by his stupidity.

"Is it possible that you made a mistake?"

Suddenly someone outside the door shouted:

"The Grand Master has arrived—"

Xiao Zirui's face lit up with joy, and he pointed at Yun Qingqing and said:

"The Imperial Master is here, you won't be able to escape this time!"
