Chapter 163: Detoxification
Miss Yi Han felt that she was having difficulty breathing. Looking at the madness in Bai Feng's eyes and the boldness in his words, her heart skipped a beat.
She felt a heavy pressure coming at her and swallowed.
"Brother, why should we gamble on this one percent hope?"
Bai Feng's brows were deep, but he still didn't give up and continued: "Although it is dangerous, this is the most perfect way."
"Believe me this time, okay!"
Although Miss Yi Han was puzzled and half-believing and half-doubting, she chose to believe him when she saw that he was so determined.
"Brother, I believe you! Our lives are connected. If we win the bet, we can both survive."
"If we lose the bet, we can die together without regrets."
The moment Yi Han nodded in agreement, he was completely carrying the lives of three people on his shoulders. Bai Feng's eyes were extremely dark and his face was solemn.
"We'll all survive."
“Let’s get started!”
Suddenly there was a knock on the room and they looked at each other.
Looking at the weak Xin Hongying, Miss Yi Han felt a little guilty and shut her mouth, as if she had been caught doing something bad.
Bai Feng became alert instantly and turned his head suddenly like a frightened little squirrel.
"etc!"
The goddess' muffled voice came from outside.
…
Time passed by little by little, the shadows of the trees moved, and the lake surface sparkled.
【Host, host! 】
[The cooldown period for the Transformation Pill is almost over. Countdown... 2... 1...]
The system's prompt sounded, and Shen Tingyu's figure pacing back and forth stopped, and Shen Tingyu's human-shaped body squatted on the ground.
"Xiao Qi, how is the Tyrant's health? Is it back to normal?"
The tyrant's health value was like a roller coaster. After watching it for a while, she didn't dare to look at it anymore. She simply let the system monitor it and she stopped watching.
However, the unknown waiting for life and death is tormenting and painful...
[Host, not yet...]
At this moment, the palace guards had surrounded the Observatory, and the archers were already in position on the eaves, surrounding it tightly.
The previous chief guard died and was replaced by a new one.
The new captain of the guards knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there is no one in the Observatory. We haven't seen Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother said slowly: "Found it..., what!?"
She suddenly looked up, her eyes narrowed with a fierce and vicious look.
"How is that possible? Could they be hiding? Keep looking!"
"We must find the person."
[Host, look down below! Many guards have surrounded the Stargazing Pavilion...]
[Host, you are right, the Queen Mother is really here! ]
Shen Tingyu's eyes were stern, and his five fingers grasped the guardrail on the observatory tightly.
Looking down from a high place, I watched the movements on the ground and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, she was cautious and remembered that she had chosen to return to the Observatory in the first place because there was a secluded residence there.
Shen Tingyu stood on the observatory more than ten meters high, looking at a strange purple among the identical guards' uniforms.
That was the empress dowager dressed in elegant and luxurious purple clothes.
She pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous.
"But she still came too quickly. How could it be such a coincidence?"
Shen Tingyu glanced back, the door behind him was closed so that no one could disturb him, and said slowly.
"If they keep searching like this, they'll find this place sooner or later."
An Chi followed Shen Tingyu's gaze and saw that the Queen Mother and her guards surrounded the Stargazing Pavilion.
I thought to myself: Not good!
An Chi said with a resolute look, "Master, I will go and lead them away."
Shen Tingyu hurriedly stopped her and said anxiously.
"No, you're just going to die like this, it's meaningless."
Her fair hands tightly grasped An Chi's hands, fearing that if she was not watching over her, she would run down and die.
With the power of the two of them, they are simply unable to stop the Queen Mother. The only thing they can do now is to stay put and wait and see what happens.
Silent anxiety ran through her every limb, and Shen Tingyu and An Chi leaned against the wooden wall.
The Queen Mother had been in the palace for many years after all, and she knew almost all the secrets of the palace.
When she searched for the person again and again without success, the Queen Mother suddenly remembered something, her narrow and long phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile of surprise appeared on her face.
She opened her red lips slightly and said slowly: "Observatory!"
"They must be hiding in the observatory. They are really clever little mice."
"Let's go up too."
The observatory is more than ten meters high and is the tallest building in the palace. It overlooks half of the imperial palace. There are hundreds of steps inside, and few people can reach it at one time.
The new captain of the guards said, "Follow me."
He walked in front with several elite guards, and the empress dowager walked behind, forming a pincer attack.
As soon as the Queen Mother and the others moved, Shen Tingyu noticed it.
She stood up suddenly: "Oh no, they are coming up."
"We can't let them come up."
The staircase of the observatory was a circular spiral staircase. Shen Tingyu brought some objects and threw them at the guards who rushed up the stairs.
"Quick! Smash it!"
Seeing this, An Chi followed her and threw objects down.
Crackle!
A noisy and chaotic sound filled the stairwell.
A huge object fell from the sky and hit her.
The Queen Mother was so frightened that her face turned pale. She raised her hands to protect her cheeks and closed her eyes tightly.
The chief guard's eyes widened and he shouted, "Protect the emperor!"
"Empress Dowager, are you okay?"
The Queen Mother tilted her head and looked up, her sinister and vicious eyes glued to Shen Tingyu, seeing clearly the face of a living person who had come back to life, so beautiful that it was beyond mortal!
National Master!
The flesh on her cheek twitched, and the surprise could not hide the expression of fear on her face. The empress dowager quickly retracted her gaze, her lips trembling and unable to speak.
On the stairs, many guards suffered minor injuries.
The captain of the guards was a little anxious. The Queen Mother was his benefactor, so naturally he had to protect her first.
He hurriedly said: "Retreat, retreat!"
The Queen Mother sensed the weakness of the child Gu and was asking the mother Gu for help.
It felt like there was a poisonous spider crawling inside the body, its eight sharp legs piercing into the flesh, bringing with them a trace of unbearable poison.
Can't retreat!
The emperor must be up there.
The Gu Master was helping him to remove the poison.
He must be stopped.
The white hand grabbed the captain of the guards' hand tightly, and the slender nails dug into the flesh, piercing the skin.
After shaking her body for a moment, the Queen Mother couldn't control her terrifying eyes and said fiercely.
"No, even if you have to climb, you have to climb up for me."
When she thought that all her years of hard work would be burned to ashes, she felt deeply frightened. She really could not accept such an outcome.
His arm was a little painful, and the captain of the guards was so frightened by the Queen Mother's changed expression that his heart skipped a beat. If it weren't for the wrong terrain, he would have wanted to kneel down directly.
"Yes, sir!"
The guards rushed forward quickly, as if they were not afraid of the pain. The guards in the front drew their swords. They were so numerous that the feeling of oppression was overwhelming.
