I was so excited by this sudden kiss, and the sandalwood scent on Li Rui's body penetrated into my nose, which made me feel a little greedy. His hot breath sprayed on my face, and my heart beat so fast that it seemed to jump out of my chest. My body unconsciously softened and I snuggled in his arms.

"My Lord! Something bad has happened!"

This scream was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing all my beautiful thoughts. Li Rui let go of me as if he had received an electric shock, looked at me with complicated eyes, and quickly turned away.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my frantic heartbeat, and cursed inwardly, "Lin Qingya, ah Lin Qingya, you are such a loser! My father just kissed you, and you got carried away? Wake up! This is ancient times, this is the imperial palace where people eat meat without spitting out bones!"

I cursed myself for being useless in my heart, straightened my messed up clothes, and quickly followed.

I saw a man dressed as a guard kneeling on the ground, reporting anxiously, "Your Highness, the Grand His Highness... has surrounded the Queen's chambers, saying that..."

"What?" Li Rui frowned, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"They said that...you are forcing me to abdicate!" The guards' voices became lower and lower, and they dared not look up at Li Rui's expression.

"What?!" I exclaimed. This plot development is too exciting! I just came to the ancient times to travel and make some money, why did I have to force the emperor to abdicate?

Li Rui glanced at me coldly, his eyes seemed to say: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't know!" I had no choice but to shut my mouth wisely, but secretly thinking in my heart, how should I continue singing in this scene?

"What does your royal brother say?" Li Rui asked in a deep voice, with no emotion in his tone.

"The emperor...is not feeling well and has passed out." The guard replied tremblingly, fearing to anger the prince who was known for his decisiveness.

"Humph, what a sick dragon! I think you are getting old and confused, that's why you gave birth to such an ambitious son!" Li Rui laughed in anger, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards him at a brisk pace.

I hurriedly followed him, but secretly complained in my heart: "My Lord, please wait for me! I am unfamiliar with this deep palace, what if I get lost?"

Li Rui's steps were so fast that I had to jog a few times to keep up with him. Along the way, I saw many palace maids and eunuchs were frightened out of their wits by this sudden change, and they were all pale and trembling.

I secretly sighed in my heart, this ancient palace fighting drama is really not exaggerated, this atmosphere, this sense of tension, is even more exciting and thrilling than what is shown in TV dramas!

"Your Highness, where are we going now?" I asked breathlessly, feeling like my lungs were about to burst.

"Go rescue the driver!" Li Rui said without turning his head, his tone was cold and murderous.

My heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling came over me. This rescue is no joke, if I'm not careful, my life will be gone! No, I have to think of a way to get away quickly!

Just as I was racking my brains to think of a countermeasure, we arrived at the Queen's bedroom. I saw a group of armored soldiers surrounding the bedroom, and the Queen Mother Li Chengqian, dressed in military uniform and holding a long sword, stood in the front with a ferocious look on his face.

"Li Rui! You've come just in time!" Li Chengqian's eyes immediately split when he saw Li Rui, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are a traitor and are plotting rebellion. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and get rid of you, a traitor and a thief!"

Li Rui sneered and calmly retorted: "Your Highness, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! When did I ever join forces with my subjects to plot a rebellion? But you, as the Queen, have no ambition and have done such a rebellious thing. It's really a waste of the Emperor's painstaking efforts for you!"

"Hmph! The victorious king defeats the enemy, it has always been like this since ancient times! Today, I won, I am the emperor of Zhou! If you know what's going on, just surrender obediently, and I can spare your life!" Li Chengqian laughed arrogantly, as if he had already grasped the victory.

I stood behind Li Rui, watching the tense scene in front of me, and couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart: It's over, it's really over this time! This Li Chengqian is a ruthless character. If I fall into his hands, will I still be alive?

At this moment, I suddenly felt a strong aura approaching rapidly. The aura was full of murderous aura and pressure, which made me shiver.

"Who is it?!" Li Chengqian also felt this strong aura, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked in a sharp voice.

As soon as the words fell, a figure in a black cloak descended from the sky and landed steadily between Li Chengqian and Li Rui.

"How dare you, you daring lunatic, break into the imperial palace without permission? Hurry up..." Before Li Chengqian could finish his words, the black shadow grabbed his neck and lifted him up high.

"You... who are you?!" Li Chengqian's face flushed and he struggled desperately, but he was unable to break free from the control of the black shadow.

The shadow slowly raised his head, revealing a sinister smile, and said in a hoarse and low voice, like a voice from hell: "Your Highness, long time no see..."

I took a closer look and was immediately scared to death!
