"Stay back! Don't make any noise! I'll make sure you're okay!"
The long sword in Li Xuan's hand has been unsheathed. Although this is not the real world, everyone here gives him a very real feeling.
So he did not immediately kill the imperial concubine who lived in the palace with his sword.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
There were bursts of breaking wind sounds coming from outside the door. The imperial guards and those peak seventh-level contestants were constantly running outside. They were searching the palace for Li Xuan and the other two.
The imperial concubine in a golden-red dress stood in place. There was no panic expression on her face. Instead, her eyes were looking at Li Xuan with a bright look.
It was extremely noisy outside the hall, but extremely quiet inside. Li Xuan was also looking at her. He was afraid that the imperial concubine would suddenly make some noise.
If I were discovered by those people outside, my space flash would still be cooling down, and it would be extremely difficult to force my way out by relying on my own strength.
"You are so beautiful!" the imperial concubine suddenly said.
Li Xuan suddenly felt speechless. He turned his head and looked towards the door, because at this moment there were footsteps heading straight towards this side.
"Empress Dowager, there is an assassin in the palace. Are you okay?" The voice of the palace maid came from outside.
Li Xuan immediately looked at the imperial concubine and turned the sword in his hand. The threat was obvious.
But the beautiful imperial concubine showed no fear or panic, and said calmly to the outside: "I'm fine here, and I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me if there's nothing else."
As she spoke, she had already moved her graceful steps to the lamp and gently blew out the candle inside.
All of a sudden, the imperial concubine's palace was plunged into darkness.
Outside the palace, the palace maids hurriedly said goodbye and left.
The hall was pitch black, but Li Xuan's mental power could still sense the location of the imperial concubine.
Before he could ask anything, the imperial concubine's clear and pleasant voice rang out in the darkness: "Are you an assassin?"
"What do you think?"
Li Xuan felt that her question was a bit redundant.
"Are you here to assassinate the emperor?" the imperial concubine asked again.
"yes."
Li Xuan generously admitted that he still needed to obtain intelligence from the imperial concubine, and since he appeared here at this time, he must be an assassin who wanted to kill the emperor.
"Then I can help you!" The imperial concubine's tone suddenly became cheerful.
"Aren't you the emperor's concubine? You are very happy that I killed him!" Li Xuan asked curiously.
"I was abducted by him and I don't want to be a concubine at all. As long as you kill him, I will be free!"
At this moment, the imperial concubine suddenly ran towards Li Xuan.
The moonlight from outside the window shone in, and Li Xuan could vaguely see her eyes full of hope.
I never thought that this world is so real and there are so many side quests. Different plots can happen just by pushing the door and entering a hall.
"So, we are allies now?"
Li Xuan looked at her and continued, "But it's extremely difficult to even get close to the palace right now, let alone assassinate him."
"To kill him, sometimes you don't need to go to the palace, just let him come over." The imperial concubine said confidently.
She was the imperial concubine that the old emperor had just taken into the palace and had not yet had time to favor. It was natural that the old emperor was lustful by nature and it was not a rumor.
"I just need to use a little trick to make him come over tonight."
In the main hall.
A figure in a dragon robe descended from mid-air, his robe fluttering constantly, and most of the things in the hall were destroyed.
Opposite him, the burly Prince Jing was kneeling with his upper body naked, with a sunken fist mark on his heart.
The outcome of this battle has been decided. The old emperor is still superior. After all, his strength is above that of Prince Jing.
Moreover, since this is his home ground, Prince Jing is just a rebel and is inherently suppressed in terms of momentum. At the same time, he has been considering a retreat.
If he finally killed the old emperor but was seriously injured, he would not be able to deter those ambitious people outside who were eyeing him covetously.
Under multiple psychological pressures, he was finally defeated.
"Song Jing! I gave you a chance before, but unfortunately, you are still stubborn!" The old emperor also suffered some internal injuries, and his physical strength was almost exhausted.
Prince Jing was still holding on to his breath at this moment. He forced himself to raise his head, and in a trance, he took a last look at the dragon throne that seemed within reach.
"What a pity! It's really a pity!"
As his life force quickly faded, his head fell heavily to the ground.
The old emperor glanced at Prince Jing lying on the ground, his eyes full of sighs. He knew his second brother's ambition from the very beginning.
But he pretended not to know and gave him the greatest trust on the surface, just because he was worried that he would rebel directly.
The reason why he had not been killed before was because once he died, the army on the border would inevitably cause a mutiny, and the Qin royal family would completely lose control of the army.
And with Prince Jing's prestige in the army, the subordinates he has managed over the years will definitely cause them to rebel.
Only by waiting for Prince Jing to be fooled and take the initiative to attack and break into the palace, and then be killed by himself, can there be no quarrel.
There would be no reason for those armies to march into the imperial city again.
Wow!
He raised his hand and waved it, and the golden color above the hall suddenly disappeared, and the entire formation stopped functioning.
Bang!
Eunuch Wu was the first to rush in, leading many masters from the imperial palace, followed closely by the imperial guards and the contestants.
