Chapter 420: Keep Yourself Protected
After hearing Lian Yi's explanation, everyone's faces suddenly became clear, and then their faces became uglier than each other. Su Yun said coldly:
"Just for a set of skills, she wants to wipe out our entire Su Nu Palace. She is indeed a vicious woman despised by the world. Only someone like her would use such cruel means to achieve her goals and treat human life as worthless!"
"All the people Xiangyi brought were killed. Will she let the court deal with us?"
Sulan said with some worry.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Sulan. This is Xiangyi's personal behavior. The purpose is to keep herself young forever. If the court dares to use this reason to deal with us, then they can find a reason to deal with other sects in the future. The emperor will not do such a thing that intensifies the conflict between the court and the martial arts world."
Lianyi held a piece of spiritual marrow in her hand and slowly practiced it to slowly suppress the dull pain in her heart.
"Junior sister, don't talk yet, adjust your body first."
Wang Zhenzhen stared at Lianyi nervously and said.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Zhen, I'm not that fragile."
Lianyi grinned, but unfortunately Wang Zhenzhen didn't buy it at all. She just stared at her with a frown.
"Let's not talk about this for now. This is not what we need to consider right now. Let's deal with the current situation first.
Suyun was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and finding a place to bury the bodies of the masked men in black.
Sulan, you are responsible for the healing and comfort of the injured disciples. If there are any new disciples who want to leave the mountain, take this opportunity to send them away to prevent them from regretting it later.
Junior Sister will tell Junior Sister Zhen about arranging the new formation, and Junior Sister Zhen will do it. It must be completed before dawn. I will go to see Master and explain the situation."
Sulin quickly assigned tasks to everyone, then turned to Lianyi and said:
"I will tell Master about what you did. Think of an excuse for yourself. Don't say that I didn't help you."
After saying that, he slipped out of the yard.
Everyone followed their orders and went about their business. Lianyi carefully told Wang Zhenzhen the method and specific location of setting up the fog formation.
"Junior sister, I'll go and set up the place first. You can rest here."
Following Lianyi's instructions, Wang Zhenzhen dug out all the spiritual essences that she had used to set up the fog array in the sect, and then rearranged them outside the mountain gate according to Lianyi's instructions.
After Wang Zhenzhen left, Lianyi couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The pain in her heart became more and more obvious. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said helplessly:
"This body is really troublesome. I was just forcing myself."
She actually wanted to kill Princess Xiangyi directly, but unfortunately, after her sudden outburst that eliminated the remaining guards around Xiangyi, her heart was already overloaded. Besides, if Princess Xiangyi died in front of the gate of Su Nu Palace, the court would have a legitimate reason to wipe them out.
No matter how bad Xiangyi's reputation is, even if she brought the fatal disaster upon herself, she is still a princess and a member of the royal family. Even for the sake of the royal family's face, they will not allow a princess of a country to die at the hands of a martial arts sect.
Lianyi let her go after weighing the pros and cons, but she didn't let the other party get any benefit. Except for herself, all the people she brought out this time died, and her face was scratched. I believe that with this lesson, she will keep a low profile in the short term.
Things turned out pretty much as Lianyi had expected. When the crazy carriage was running wildly and broke into the town at the foot of the Su Nu Palace mountain, it was discovered by someone with ulterior motives.
These were the people who were secretly watching Xiang Yi, and they were also the people around the emperor. When they came forward to check, they found Xiang Yi with blood all over her face and had fainted, and a bloody head in her arms. They were frightened and immediately notified the people nearby to come and help.
When Xiangyi returned to the imperial city, the wound on her face had not healed yet. Xiangyi's temper became more and more violent. She killed many maids and male favorites, making the imperial doctors who came to see her trembling with fear. Naturally, the news reached the emperor's ears as soon as possible.
The current emperor is Xiangyi's elder brother. Although they are not born of the same mother, outsiders see that the two have a deep relationship. Even though Xiangyi's reputation is so bad, the emperor has never thought of depriving her of her title of Princess Xiangyi. So when he learned that Xiangyi was in poor condition, the emperor went to see Xiangyi in person with his attendants.
"How is Xiangyi's injury?"
When the emperor arrived at Xiangyi's palace, he summoned the imperial physician for questioning.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xiangyi has an external wound on her face. I don't know what kind of sharp weapon injured her. Even with the best medicine, the wound will not heal."
Imperial Physician Sun bowed and replied.
"But poison was used?"
The emperor's voice rose two notches.
"No, it's just that when the princess is emotional, the wound will reopen. We also tried to comfort the princess and asked her to stay calm, but she..."
Imperial Physician Sun was also helpless. He was also in a difficult position when he encountered such an uncooperative and irritable patient.
"I understand. You can go down! I will go and persuade Xiangyi."
The emperor sent Imperial Physician Sun away and then went to Xiangyi's bedroom.
"Go! All of you go! Don't come in!"
As the emperor stepped over the threshold, a white porcelain teacup flew towards him, but was blocked by the quick-eyed and quick-handed guards beside him.
"Princess Xiangyi, it's His Majesty who's here to visit you!"
The guard said loudly.
The inner room was silent for a moment before Xiang Yi's resentful voice was heard:
"Brother, please come in by yourself! I don't want others to see me like this."
"good!"
The emperor was very patient. He left the guards at the door and went in alone. Half an hour later, the emperor left Xiangyi's bedroom. He only told her to rest and recuperate, and everything else could be dealt with after she recovered. By the way, he also gave her many beauty-enhancing medicines to show his importance to his sister.
When the emperor returned to the Qinzheng Palace, he asked the guards around him:
"Have you found out what she did?"
"Princess Xiangyi wanted to stay young forever. After hearing what a concubine said, she learned that the Su Nu Palace's Su Nu Xuan Gong was suitable for women to practice and had the effect of keeping one's youth. So she became interested.
And she should have set her sights on Su Minyi, the current palace master of Su Nu Palace, and wanted to take over Su Nu Palace and force the other party to give her the inner power so that she could stay young forever. The result."
"In the end, I ran into a tough guy. Not only did I fail to snatch the skills, but everyone around me died and my face was scratched."
The emperor said slowly.
"Yes, Su Nu Palace must have taken her identity as a princess into consideration, so they didn't kill her. Otherwise..."
"What else?"
"She must die! I also checked the head of the leader of the secret guards around the princess. He was killed with one blow. He should have been able to move when his head was chopped off.
Jia Shou's kung fu is only slightly worse than mine, and ordinary people in the martial arts world would not be his opponent. Moreover, the secret guards are equipped with some special equipment, and the other party obviously did not give Jia Shou a chance to use it. "
"You mean the other person's martial arts skills are better than yours?"
The emperor also became interested. After all, the people who could stay by his side as personal guards had to have extraordinary fighting skills.
“On par with each other!”
"Maybe I can use it?"
"It's too late!"
