"I will investigate this matter carefully." Gu Momo said as she stood up and respectfully addressed Shao Siran, "I know that the Queen is still wary of me and Zhan Ting, but please remember, our common enemy is the Emperor-Slaying Alliance!"
"Your Majesty, there's something else you might not know. It's not just that your royal power has been stripped away; the entire royal family is in complete chaos! Countless nobles have become puppets of the Emperor-Killing Alliance, and their power has been replaced by the Emperor-Killing Alliance. Even if Your Majesty regains the throne, as long as you don't clean up all the pests within the royal family, your throne will only be a hollow title!"
"If Your Majesty is willing to provide us with any assistance we can in our efforts to eradicate the Emperor-Killing Alliance, Zhan Ting and I will spare no effort to help you eliminate the pests within the royal family! This is a win-win situation; it all depends on whether Your Majesty agrees!"
"What did you say?" Shao Siran stared wide-eyed in shock, her eyes seeming to surge with turbulent waves, her fingers clenching involuntarily.
All she knew was that the throne had been usurped, so all these years she had been meticulously preparing to seize it.
But to everyone's surprise, even the royal family was completely corrupted by the Emperor-Killing Alliance!
"Heh, Gu Momo, how can I believe what you're saying is true without any evidence?" A hint of wariness flashed in Shao Siran's exquisite eyes, and the smile on her lips seemed cold and unapproachable. "I haven't noticed anything wrong with the royal family or nobles all these years!"
This matter concerns changes and turmoil within the royal family and nobility, so Shao Siran has to be extremely careful!
Whether it's Li Zhanting, Gu Momo, or Li Tianyi, they could all pose a threat to the royal family. She can't afford to lose again!
"Whether it's true or not, why don't we come with the Queen and see for ourselves?" Li Tianyi spoke up at the opportune moment, calmly placing his teacup on the table, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.
"Zhan Ting has been dealing with royalty all night. The Queen is coming with us now, so we can see for ourselves what really happened!"
“But…” Countless worries and doubts flashed through Shao Siran’s mind, but when she met Gu Momo and Li Tianyi’s firm gazes, the worries and doubts in her eyes instantly melted away, and the smile on her lips carried the confidence and composure of someone in control of everything:
"Alright, since you've all brought it up, I'll go with you to see for myself!"
With that, she stood up and strode forward: "Louis, lead the way!"
"Yes!" Louis was also a meticulous person, and he quickly followed behind Shao Siran, while giving his subordinates a wink.
The subordinate immediately avoided everyone's gaze and quietly ran off to arrange manpower, not daring to make any mistakes.
Gu Momo and Li Tianyi followed closely behind. Although their subordinates were cautious enough, their small actions still did not escape their notice.
Having clearly guessed the Queen's intention, Gu Momo couldn't help but curl a mocking smile at the corner of her lips.
This Shao Siran is really suspicious; she's still so wary of them even now!
The group, along with the core subordinates of Liuli Pavilion and Louis, hurriedly headed towards the residence of the royal family and nobles.
All news from inside the palace was blocked by Li Tianyi's subordinates, so the outside world had no idea about the chaos inside the palace tonight!
Meanwhile, the noble palaces where the royal family and nobles lived had been in chaos for several hours!
Li Zhanting led the experts of the Dark Night Alliance to secretly infiltrate the royal family's palace to investigate the families within the royal family. However, to their utter surprise, countless torches suddenly ignited in the seemingly peaceful royal courtyard.
The blinding torches were raised by the guards of the noble palace, and Li Zhanting and the experts of the Dark Night Alliance were suddenly surrounded.
Immediately afterwards, a cold and arrogant voice came from not far away: "I really didn't expect that the dignified leader of the Dark Night Alliance would actually trespass into our royal palace! But our royal palace is not just anyone. Outsiders may fear you, but I don't!"
"Guards! Arrest Li Zhanting and all of Mingye Alliance's subordinates!"
"Yes!" Countless guards, armed with guns, swarmed forward, and Li Zhanting and the experts of the Dark Night Alliance were locked in a fierce battle.
Li Zhanting and the experts of the Dark Night Alliance were seasoned veterans with swift and skillful techniques. These guards were no match for them at all. However, it seemed that these people had been preparing for Li Zhanting's night raid on the noble's courtyard for a long time, and had prepared countless traps.
"Leader, they've prepared a trap for us all along!" Mo Feng disregarded everything and stood in front of Li Zhanting. Then, taking advantage of the chaos between the two sides, he took out a signal flare from his pocket, pulled out the fuse, and the signal flare instantly shot into the sky.
The members of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, who had been preparing to camp outside the noble palace, saw the signal flare and immediately stormed into the palace.
The two sides engaged in fierce fighting. Although the Dark Night Alliance was advancing rapidly, there were too many pursuers along the way, making it difficult for them to break through directly!
The battle raged on for an unknown duration. On the high observation platform, a blond middle-aged man in a black overcoat curled his lips into a contemptuous smile. He turned his sinister gaze to Li Zhanting, his smile chilling:
"All the Nightfall Alliance subordinates who were lying in ambush all around have rushed in; this is now the main force of the Nightfall Alliance!"
"They've come at the right time. Let's kill them all and then report back to the alliance leader!"
"Yes!" The subordinate also curled a savage smile of certainty, then waved his hand, and all the subordinates around him raised their power guns.
He was about to order the shooting when, unexpectedly, the air crackled with the sound of gunfire.
The men screamed and all fell to the ground, their guns flying from their hands!
"Who goes there?!" The blond man glared angrily, standing up furiously. But a lithe figure darted out of the darkness like a ghost, kicking him in the backside. "Who else could it be? Your grandpa, of course!"
Fu Ying's sweet and playful voice rang out, and before the blond man could even react, he fell straight off the observation deck.
"Ahhh..." The blond man died instantly, and the surrounding guards reacted immediately, "Who goes there!"
Fu Ying's sweet and innocent face broke into a playful smile as she stuck out her tongue at them: "It's me! Weren't you going to kill the people from the Emperor-Slaying Alliance? I'm quite familiar with them. Do you want to take me with you?"
The guards were terrified and immediately opened fire on Fuying, but Fuying was agile and gave them no chance!
Just then, an anxious voice rushed over the palace turmoil: "Something terrible has happened! The Queen is here! Duke, something terrible has happened! The Queen has surrounded the entire palace with her men!"
