Chapter 298: Silence it if you find it!

Mu Nanzhou ignored Feng Xuanling's presence and nodded without disguising, "This king did find out some truth."

"That……"

Xu Yanyi was about to ask Mu Nanzhou some questions, but before she could finish her words, she heard a commotion in the tent, and candles were all lit up in all directions.

Although the three directions they are hiding are secretive now, if the people inside find that someone is missing, they will definitely find them if they search everywhere.

So now they dare not speak out!

As a result, Xu Yanyi had to swallow her words and wait for an opportunity to ask again.

The three of them stared in one direction in silence, and then they heard angry shouts coming from there, "What the hell is going on? Hurry and check it out for me. We must not let this sneak attacker escape. We must catch him and bring him back to me, no matter what!"

It was the Queen Mother's voice. Just by listening to this one sentence, one could tell how angry the Queen Mother was. If she knew that the person who shot the arrow was Mu Nanzhou whom they had been plotting, she would be furious.

Xu Yanyi patted Mu Nanzhou with a smile, and when he looked over, she signaled him with her eyes, "Well done, keep it up next time!"

Mu Nanzhou gave her a look back.

The two of them acted as if the people around them didn't exist. Feng Xuanling couldn't help but whisper, "You two should be careful. You still don't forget to flirt with each other at this critical moment. I really regret not parting ways with you."

"If you don't agree, just leave!" Mu Nanzhou was even more rude. He left him speechless with just one sentence.

At this time, I heard the sound coming from inside again.

"All of you, throw these disobedient soldiers into the alchemy furnace and burn them to death!"

Those soldiers had already been captured. My brothers were very dissatisfied and resentful, but after hearing these words, they all collapsed.

"You can't treat us like this. We are from the same palace as you. Why are you doing this?"

"That's right. We all work for the royal family. We are so loyal, but why do we have to end up like this? God is so unfair."

"I won't give up. I don't want to spend so much time dying in an alchemy furnace. I've never heard of using a living person to make elixir. This is simply a ridiculous joke!"

…

All the soldiers present fought back, but now they were at a disadvantage and had no way of escaping.

Moreover, they did not believe that elixir could be made from living people.

But the leader ignored their complaints and continued to give orders, "What are you still standing there for? They deserve to die. They want to resist the emperor. Isn't that courting death? Do you want to die with them?"

After hearing this, the guards at the gate naturally didn't want to expose themselves, so they could only step forward and escort those soldiers to the alchemy furnace.

From beginning to end, the emperor and the queen mother looked indifferent. They didn't care whether these people were dead or alive. What they cared about most was the situation inside the alchemy furnace.

This made the soldiers even more heartbroken. The royal family they were so loyal to protect treated them like this!

For a moment, the tent seemed like hell on earth. After a while, there were constant sounds of ghosts howling and screaming. It was so miserable!

Xu Yanyi knew that these people were innocent, and she didn't want them to die just because of a fictitious alchemy claim.

She felt a little reluctant, "These people are living people, with flesh and blood. It would be too cruel to burn them to death like this."

"But there is no way, this is their fate. Who made them follow such a master?" Feng Xuanling simply didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs.

He also believed that these soldiers deserved it. They must have done a lot of dirty and shameful things while working for the emperor and the empress dowager, so they deserved to end up like this.

But Xu Yanyi shook her head and said, "No, if this goes on, I don't know how many innocent people will die. I have to save them!"

As she said this, she was ready to stand up and rush in to save people. This action scared Feng Xuanling who was standing beside her so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. Before he could stop her, Mu Nanzhou stopped Xu Yanyi at the critical moment, "No!"

"Why? Are we just going to watch them die like this? After all, they were chosen partly because of us. We can't be so heartless."

Mu Nanzhou said calmly, "I know you must be feeling bad right now, but I hope you know the consequences of rushing at yourself."

"Of course I know. It's just that they discover my existence. Why should I be afraid?"

"You don't have to be afraid, but what about the rest?" He said slowly with deep eyes, "You are happy now, but this alchemy furnace will not only eat these few people. I am afraid it will eat more people in the future. Can you save them every time?"

After hearing this, Xu Yanyi was silent for a moment. In fact, she really wanted to shout out that she would save as many people as she could.

But after calming down, she understood what Mu Nanzhou meant. This matter was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Mu Nanzhou said, "I understand your feelings now. I also felt uncomfortable when I saw such a scene when I first came here. But you must remember that impatience leads to chaos. If we can't solve this problem completely, more people will die."

Even Feng Xuanling was moved by these words, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Princess, I also think that the prince is right. If we want to save people, we can't just save a few people at the moment. We still have to think of a way to completely put an end to this. Only then can we completely save others. Let's just endure it for now."

What can Xu Yanyi do if they both say this?

After she calmed down a bit, she nodded and said, "You are right. I was really angry just now and almost rushed out. Fortunately, you stopped me. The most important thing for us now is to act according to the situation."

The three finally united their front.

At this moment, another cry of surprise came from the barrier, "No, the number of people seems to be wrong, it seems that there are two troublemakers missing!"

Xu Yanyi's heart skipped a beat and she immediately looked at Mu Nanzhou. It seemed that their disappearance was finally discovered.

Many soldiers inside began to look for people. "I remember there were twelve people just now, but how come there are only ten now, and two are missing? Did they run away?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor immediately slammed the table and stood up, "What a bunch of rubbish! What are you still standing there for? Go find someone to find those two soldiers and bring them back to silence them. Don't let them go out and talk nonsense!"

"yes!"

The tent was in chaos again.
