Chapter 22: Sneaking into the Palace



Thousands of miles away from the capital, there is a place that is like a paradise. It is spring all year round, with flowers blooming and birds singing, which is extremely beautiful. What is even more amazing is that this place is shrouded in a mysterious fairy air, making the whole place full of vitality and vigor. This place is the first sect of Dagan - Shenxiao Sect.

On a high peak in the Shenxiao Sect, surrounded by clouds and mist, it was like a dream. There was a tall phoenix tree standing on the peak. It was planted by the first generation of the peak master of this mountain. It is now a hundred years old.

In one of the caves, a girl was meditating on a cushion, with an elegant temperament that made people feel peaceful and far-reaching. Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes, slowly retracted the breath she exuded, and stood up, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Finally, the baby has been formed. It's time to go down the mountain. Junior brother, wait for me. Senior sister will take you back."

When the girl walked out of the cave, she saw a slim figure in a lavender dress looking out at the cave entrance. When she saw the girl, she rushed over excitedly.

Senior sister, I miss you so much! You have been in seclusion for such a long time without any news, I was afraid that something happened to you!

As he said this, he buried his head in the girl's huge chest.

Yun Yao gently stroked Xia Ling's head and said in a gentle tone, "Have you been practicing hard recently? Calculating the time, Master should be out of confinement now, right?"

Xia Ling untied her hands and slowly recounted what had happened recently: "Yes, Master came out last month, but he went down the mountain as soon as he came out of seclusion. As for me, I went to Yongning City a few days ago and finally met my junior brother, but he still didn't want to come back with me... However, I handed over the sword you gave him to him..."

When Xiao Ning was mentioned, Xia Ling's voice gradually became smaller, as if she was about to cry.

Yun Yao gently touched her head and comforted her, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I have now formed a Nascent Soul and can go down the mountain to find Ning'er. This time, I will definitely bring him back."

"I want to go with you!" Xia Ling said.

Yun Yao shook her head and refused, "No, Master is not on the mountain now, and I have to go down the mountain. The sect cannot be left without someone to take care of it. So Ling'er, I can only trouble you to stay on the mountain and take care of it."

Xia Ling was a little unhappy, but she didn't get angry. She knew that there was really no one on the mountain now, and someone had to look after it, so she could only nod and agree reluctantly.

Just like that, Yun Yao went down the mountain and flew towards Yongning City.

On the other side, Xiao Ning returned to Meishan Academy. At this time, Zhou Youniang came to him hurriedly and said that Xiyue and the others had made an important discovery. Then she took his hand and walked towards the guest room.

When Xiyue saw Xiao Ning coming and everyone was present, she recounted in detail what had happened between her and Dongfang Qinyin in Wanyang Sect. Then she took out the photo stone and played the description of Wan Zhenshan in it. Everyone roughly understood the truth of the matter. It was indeed the Second Prince who colluded with outsiders to seek power and usurp the throne.

Dongfang Qinyin felt uncomfortable. She held the Dongfang family's token tightly and stared at the screen with complicated eyes. She never expected that her own brother would do such a cruel and inhumane thing, which made her feel chilled.

The rest of the people also sighed, and the atmosphere at the scene fell into a heavy silence. Everyone was so shocked by this shocking news that they were speechless, and the whole scene became very quiet for a while.

After a while, Xiao Ning slowly spoke to break the silence. He said with a serious expression: "Although we now have this important evidence, it is not enough to convict the Second Prince. Therefore, I plan to go to the palace in person in a while. We must wake the Emperor from his coma. Only with the help of the Emperor can we completely overthrow the Second Prince."

Several people nodded in agreement. Song Junwan took out a medicine bottle, handed it to Dongfang Qinyin, and said:

The antidote has been prepared and you will be back to normal after taking it for a period of time.

Dongfang Qinyin took the bottle of medicine and felt extremely grateful. Now, as long as her father was cured, all the problems that followed would be solved.

After that, he set the departure time for two days later. After the others left, only Xiao Ning and Dongfang Qinyin were left in the room.

Xiao Ning motioned for her to sit down, and then comforted her.

"Sister Qin Yin, I know that this fact has indeed caused you a lot of pressure, but it is not your fault," Xiao Ning said softly.

Dongfang Qinyin nodded slightly. She looked down at the token in her hand and tears flowed like beads from a broken string. Her mother and brother were both killed by her younger brother. Even though she was a strong princess, she could not accept it for a while.

"We will definitely make the truth known." Xiao Ning held Dongfang Qinyin's hand and promised.

Dongfang Qinyin looked up at him. The determination revealed in his handsome face and eyes instantly gave him motivation, as if he saw a lighthouse in the darkness, guiding him forward.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

The two looked at each other in silence, everything was said without words, as if time had stopped at this moment, only their eyes met.

Two days later, the night was dark and windy.

Dongfang Qinyin and Song Junwan sneaked into the palace quietly under the cover of night. Along the way, they carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers and successfully came to the emperor's bedroom.

After entering the bedroom, Dongfang Qinyin quickly walked to the emperor's bedside, gently lifted him up, and then fed the antidote into his mouth. Song Junwan stood guard beside him, vigilantly observing the movements around him.

After a while, the emperor's face gradually turned rosy and his breathing became steady.

"It seems the antidote is working." Song Junwan said in a low voice.
