"Antidote!"
"There's no medicine! This is a rhinoceros worm. If you get bitten by a rhinoceros worm, your throat will swell up rapidly!"
Mi Shan had painstakingly trained the Spirit Rhinoceros Insect, intending to use it to save lives in critical moments.
Unexpectedly, Consort Yu forced him to use it ahead of schedule.
There must be a way!
"Yes, but how can you guarantee that if I save her, she won't continue to harm me?"
“She won’t,” Li Changyu said coldly.
In his eyes, Mi Shan saw a hint of panic she had never seen before.
Although it was only for a fleeting moment.
Mi Shan couldn't explain why, but a slight chill ran through her.
I'd known for a long time that they were having an affair, but seeing it with my own eyes now, I felt a strange unease.
yes.
In his eyes, Consort Yu was the most important.
She was nothing more than a pawn.
One was to win the Emperor's favor for his Consort Yu, and the other was a sacrifice for whom he would not mind dying!
"You'll regret it if you don't save her soon."
Li Changyu blurted out coldly, but for some reason, his heart ached slightly, and an indescribable bitterness welled up inside him.
Mi Shan's heart sank to the bottom.
Yes, it would be easy for him to take her life.
She didn't dare to gamble.
You are responsible for your own life.
Others may not care whether she lives or dies, but she does.
"Get out of the way."
After Mi Shan finished speaking, she quickly stepped forward and swiftly grasped a thin, long bamboo stalk hidden in her sleeve.
He touched the third or fourth section of Bai Lingyu's neck and inserted his fingers hard.
The moment the blood spurted out, Bai Lingyu seemed to be reborn, clutching her hand in pain, staring at her with wide eyes, and breathing heavily in a hoarse voice.
"You... fine, very well, I won't let you get away with this!"
In her silent gaze, one could almost read the signals of hatred she was conveying.
Mi Shan shook off her hand, took two steps back, and breathed heavily.
Then they quickly passed them.
They ran outside as fast as they could.
"We can't let her go..."
The fox demon uttered a low moan.
Li Changyu released the woman from his arms; she had recovered her magical powers.
The fur on its body has gradually disappeared, restoring its original appearance.
He didn't look at her again and quickly chased after her.
No matter how fast Mi Shan ran, he couldn't match the speed of Mi Shan's light-footed flying technique.
He grabbed her hand.
Where are you going?
"Do you want to reveal this secret?"
"What's it to you? Are you that afraid that the truth about her being a monster will be revealed?"
"I can't say." Li Changyu didn't answer her question directly, but looked firmly into her eyes and repeated coldly.
"You can't tell—if you do, no one will believe you, and you'll put yourself in danger. This is to save you!"
"You always make grand excuses for your actions. How come you saved me again? If it weren't for me, that fox demon would probably be dead by now!"
"It is true that she is a fox demon, but even the emperor knows her true identity."
Li Changyu spoke coldly, silently tightening his grip on her hand, his dark eyes locking onto her.
"You've exposed something that even the emperor silently covered up. Just imagine what the consequences will be?"
"W-what did you say?"
Mi Shan was stunned, and an incredulous look appeared on Yi Li's face.
She frowned and shook her head. "That's impossible..."
Nothing is impossible.
Li Changyu simply picked her up horizontally, used his lightness skill to fly away, and put her down in a secluded grove.
Azure shadows against the sky.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves.
Not far away, a stream was flowing, making a gurgling sound.
Li Changyu helped her stand up before letting go and speaking coldly:
"The emperor not only knew she was a demon, but he also willingly allowed her to drain his life essence, just to help her cultivate her demon core."
"Demon core?"
"You must have heard that the demon core of the fox tail has the power to grant immortality."
"That dog emperor wanted to use the demon core to prolong his life, which is why he kept Bai Lingyu by his side."
"His immortal body, coupled with his eternal life, makes him practically a walking old monster."
Mi Shan was startled, then suddenly understood, and murmured:
"No wonder the Emperor looks so young, while the Empress, who is the same age as him, looks much older."
"So it turns out that not only does it have the effect of innate protective energy, but it also has the assistance of the fox demon's inner core..."
"But isn't Bai Lingyu one of yours?"
Why would she help the emperor?
"On the surface, it's about helping, but in reality, it's about taking his life."
Li Changyu smiled coldly, "When the demon core is successfully cultivated, Bai Lingyu will take the demon core from his body."
In that instant, he will lose everything, leaving only a wisp of qi.
And the protective energy will completely dissipate on the night of the full moon.
"I understand. You mean the day the demon core is fully formed will be the night of a full moon!"
“That’s right, I’ve already planned it out. Soon, once Bai Lingyu’s side is ready, we can go straight for the dog emperor’s life.”
"And what you have to do is to get close to him on that full moon night and get his location for me."
"……Understood."
Although Mi Shan agreed, she was secretly filled with regret.
For the throne.
The biological son wanted to murder his own father.
This man is truly ruthless; he's vicious enough to do anything for power.
In Li Changyu's eyes, she was probably just a scapegoat.
"Then why don't you let Bai Lingyu do these things? Isn't she enough to gain the emperor's trust?"
Unable to hold back, Mi Shan finally asked the question that had been lingering in her heart.
