son, don't mess around

Under the cover of night.

Outside the palace gate.

The imperial guards surrounded the entire palace and stood ready.

Countless soldiers in armor stood in the cold wind, filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Until in the dark night, a black shadow suddenly appeared silently, hiding in the darkness at an extremely fast speed, leaving only afterimages in place.

It was not until he was approaching the palace gate that he finally caught the attention of the imperial guard at the palace gate.

"Who?!"

A sharp cold shout came.

But before the cold shout had time to fall, in the darkness, this afterimage rushed directly towards the palace entrance with the force of the wind and the remaining clouds.

The strong wind wrapped under the robe instantly knocked down several imperial guards.

The originally prepared formation was suddenly torn open!
"Someone wants to force his way out of the palace, stop him!"

With this cold shout, he finally attracted the attention of the other imperial guards.

next second!
"Shhhhh!"

Several figures emerged from the imperial guards, approaching from all directions, trying to stop the black shadow.

However, the black shadow turned a blind eye and did not take these imperial guards who were not weak in martial arts at all.

Under the large black robe, a ferocious bronze mask gave everyone a heavy and strange aura.

"boom!"

The majestic internal force continuously emerged from under the wide sleeves, forcing back all the imperial guards who tried to approach.

The imperial guards had just approached and were blown away by this majestic internal force.

unstoppable!

This scene made the hearts of all the imperial guards present suddenly sink.

Something is wrong!
The martial arts of this mysterious master...are too terrifying!

That terrifying aura is so terrifying that it’s impossible to look directly at it!

Such momentum is more like...

"Grandmaster?!"

Many people looked frightened, and there were almost only a handful of masters in the world.

Tonight, a master master forced his way into the palace? !

"stop!"

In the dark night, this figure in black robe tore through the encirclement of the imperial guards as if they were in an empty space, and approached the palace gate as if they were in an empty space.

That palace wall is almost insurmountable for ordinary people. It was no difficulty for him.

unstoppable!

All the imperial guards in the palace could only watch helplessly as this mysterious figure in black robes fled from the palace in such a grand manner under everyone's eyes!
"Quick, go and report to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"A suspected master appears!"

"Hurry up!"

"..."

Inside and outside the palace gate, it had already become a mess.

Faced with the appearance of a suspected master, the guards of the imperial army were helpless.

Although there are also masters in the palace, it is difficult to kill masters of this level.

What's more, you want to stop the other party?

While there was civil commotion outside the palace gate, the black-robed figure had quietly left the palace, hiding in the darkness.

Until not long after, he appeared outside the palace gate, in a hidden house. The leader of the Celestial Sect, wearing a loose black robe, fell into the courtyard.

"Master!"

There were several figures in the courtyard who had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the leader appeared, they quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Where's Saint Liu?"

A deep and hoarse voice came from under the bronze mask.

Scanning the crowd, he didn't see the red dress.

"Reporting to the leader, Saint Liu has not returned yet." Someone reported.

After hearing the news, the eyes under the bronze mask became sharp: "She is still in the palace?"

"Where is the third prince?"

"The mutiny of the third prince failed, the palace gate has been sealed, and no news from the palace can be spread... Now there is no news from the palace..."

In the Tianshen Sect, a hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the third elder, and he said, "I wonder if Saint Liu... has silenced the third prince!"

Silent and cold.

The silent leader of the Celestial Sect gave everyone present a fierce aura, making them shudder.

"Let's all go down first."

After a while, the voice of the leader of the Tianshen Sect came.

"Yes."

Everyone present spoke respectfully and retreated from the courtyard. .

The third elder raised his head and glanced at the leader, hesitated to speak, and finally stepped back without saying anything.

After everyone left, the body of the leader of the Celestial Sect, who had always been calm and mysterious, seemed to tremble slightly as he stood there.

Followed by.

"Cough cough..."

Along with a series of coughing sounds, it was visible to the naked eye that the leader's breath was disordered and his original momentum dissipated.

He covered his chest with one hand, and his originally calm eyes flashed with a bit of surprise, as if he hadn't been able to accept it for a long time.

he got hurt? !

……

"Piaomiao, how are you? Is the injury serious? Do you want to call the doctor?!"

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

When he realized that Piao Miao was injured, Li Cunning became a little panicked.

Ever since he was little, his sister has always been a very strong and calm woman in his eyes. He has never seen Piao Miao's face so pale, and he has never seen his sister as weak as she is now.

At the moment, Li Miaomiao looked quite haggard to the naked eye.

The cold face still had an unhealthy pallor, as if she was very tired, making her whole body weaker.

Especially these coughs made her breath disordered.

Such a scene made Li Cunning panic, and he was about to call the imperial doctor.

"No need!"

Li Miaomiao waved her hand to stop Li Cunning.

She had a cold face and shook her head: "I'm fine."

But how could Li Cunning believe it? It was the first time in his life that he saw his sister look like this, which made him worried: "You are like this now..."

"It's nothing serious!"

Li Piaomiao's face still didn't have much emotion. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to quietly heal her wounds.

Li Cunning stood aside, not daring to slack off at all, and worried in his heart.

Tonight, he was indeed sure of victory. From beginning to end, everything happened exactly as he expected.

The third brother wanted to kill him, and he even wanted to force the palace father to do it in one step!
He knew his third brother's methods. In addition to dealing with him, the third prince would also try every means to attack his father. But Li Cunning was not too worried. His father was protected by top experts enshrined in the palace, and there were many experts.

There is also Miaomiao sitting in charge, so nothing serious will happen.

But what Li Cunning didn't expect was that Pian Miao was actually injured.

Could it be that there is a master who is more powerful than Miao Miao over there? !

Li Cunning was worried, and after closing his eyes for a while to heal his injuries, Li Mianmiao slowly opened his eyes.

Her face was still pale and obviously hurt, but she looked better.

"Piaomiao, how are you?"

"fine."

Li Piaomiao said: "It's nothing serious."

Hearing this, Li Cunning breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then said nervously: "What's going on? How could you be hurt, Pian Miao? Is there a master... on Father's side?" "Yes."

Li Piaomiao nodded.

"who is it?"

"The leader of the Celestial Sect."

"The leader of the Celestial Sect?"

Li Cunning frowned, having no impression of this name.

"What's the origin?"

Li Piaomiao looked indifferent and thought about something: "It should be a cult organization that appeared in southern Xinjiang."

"Southern Border?"

Li Cunning's frown deepened. The situation in southern Xinjiang was more complicated. Although the southern kingdoms were destroyed by Lin Hengzhong more than ten years ago, the territory was merged into the Daning Dynasty. But in fact, the dynasty's control over there is not very strong.

And he had never heard of this Celestial Cult.

"What is the origin of this leader of the Celestial Sect?"

Li Piaomiao shook his head.

She also didn't know the origin of this person. This person seemed to appear out of thin air without any clues. Even if he fights against him tonight, Li Miaomiao still can't tell which school the martial arts he learned comes from.

Very weird!
"That's it!"

Li Cunning shook his head: "I will ask someone to check it out later. This person's appearance in the palace tonight is either related to the third brother, or some residual forces in the capital... If it is related to southern Xinjiang, it is most likely They are the remaining forces of the southern Xinjiang countries, trying to shake the foundation of our Daning Dynasty and restore the country..."

The countries in southern Xinjiang are a thing of the past, and no matter how noisy these remaining forces are, they will not be able to change the situation.

"Since they appear in Beijing, they will definitely leave clues."

Li Cunning's eyes were slightly cold. He took a deep breath, his face gradually returned to normal, and he looked at Li Pianmiao: "Pianmiao, thank you for your hard work tonight!"

Li Piaomiao said nothing.

As the eldest princess, she has a share of responsibility for what happened tonight.

"By the way, the queen mother's side..."

Li Cunning said: "Such a big thing happened tonight. The queen mother was not shocked, right?"

Li Piaomiao shook her head gently: "Jinxiu and An Ning will stay with the queen."

"That's good……"

Li Ci Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Jinxiu and An Ning were a pair of twin palace maids who were close to Piao Miao. Although Jinxiu did not know martial arts, she had a cheerful personality, and An Ning was quiet but very good at martial arts. With the two of them accompanying their mother, there was nothing to worry about.

So, Li Cunning said again: "You are injured, go back and rest first, and leave the rest to me."

Li Piaomiao has helped him a lot tonight, and she won't be needed for the next thing.

It's almost dawn!
With such a big thing happening, the capital may have already received the news. After dawn comes the first day of the Lunar New Year, a day when all officials have a day off and do not have to go to court early.

But as soon as this happened, the new year began. I'm afraid the New Year will not be easy for these officials.

"Ah."

Li Piaomiao didn't say much, she was indeed injured. Although it's not serious, I still need to rest for a while.

She stood up slowly and was about to leave. Outside the hall, a report from the soldiers suddenly came.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, there is someone outside the palace asking to see you!"

ask to see?

Li Cunning was confused: "Who?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Lin!"

As soon as these words came out, the two people in the palace were stunned.

Li Cunning looked slightly stunned and a little surprised.

Prince Lin?

Lin Jiangnian?
Why did he appear here at this time?

Even Li Piaomiao seemed a little surprised, but then she narrowed her eyes slightly and seemed to realize something.

"sister……"

Li Cunning subconsciously turned to look at Li Piaomiao: "Why is he here tonight?"

Li Piaomiao looked forward and said lightly: "I don't know."

Li Cunning paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then said: "Let him come in."

"Yes!"

"..."

Outside the Yangxin Hall.

The atmosphere was dull.

There was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Just outside the palace, several Forbidden Army soldiers wearing armor and fully armed were looking serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Their hearts felt heavy, as if there was some kind of oppressive atmosphere, which made them work hard and not dare to slack off at all.

Not far in front of these Forbidden Army soldiers, two figures stood quietly outside the palace.

Two women who are as beautiful as flowers and have a charming temperament!
Both of them are dressed in black. The difference is that the woman on the left is wearing a smart outfit and has a heroic appearance. The woman on the right is wearing a black dress, elegant and cool.

Both of them have extremely cool temperaments, and their beauty is beyond compare. Even in the dark night, people still dare not look directly.

More importantly, the Forbidden Army soldiers outside the palace felt an invisible sense of oppression from these two beautiful women.

This oppressive atmosphere forced them to deal with it as carefully as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

These two women... are not simple!
……

at the same time.

Outside the hall, Liu Su and Zhiyuan were standing outside the door of Yangxin Hall. The two stood side by side, with a short distance between them. They all raised their eyes and looked forward, silent.

Such a strange and seemingly harmonious scene is very strange!

a long time.

"Oh, is this his method?"

Liu Su quietly looked ahead at the gate of Yangxin Hall, with a sneer on her cold face.

I thought this guy could come up with something powerful, but unexpectedly he went to find the prince?

He, the Prince's son, appeared here tonight. He tried his best to hide his identity and left quietly. He even took the initiative to surrender... stupid!
He wouldn't really want to have a relationship with the prince just because he was engaged to the eldest princess, right?
Can the prince look at this and let him go?
Thinking of this, Liu Su turned to look at Zhiyuan aside: "Didn't you persuade him just now?"

Zhiyuan didn't look back and said calmly: "What are you trying to persuade?"

"If he goes to find the prince... isn't he afraid that he will be regarded as an accomplice of the third prince and be imprisoned for treason?"

Now that the imperial court is worried about not being able to attack Prince Lin's Mansion, isn't his move tonight just to give the imperial court some clues?

Zhiyuan didn't speak, but turned to look at her.

Eye to eye.

"What's your look?"

Liu Su quickly noticed something was wrong in Zhiyuan's eyes. Why did this woman look at her like... with some care?

"Why do you want to persuade?"

Zhiyuan looked away from her and said calmly: "He's not that stupid!"

The understatement made Liu Su instantly realize...she was deliberately mocking herself!
What does 'he's not that stupid' mean?
Do you mean to call her stupid?

That guy is not that stupid, but he still dares to go to the prince. There is only one explanation for this... He had already planned it!

That guy had already planned it, and this woman already knew it?

The two of them were very sweet, communicating with each other, and loving each other...but she was the only one who was excluded from their relationship.

Like a fool?

Thinking about this, Liu Su seemed to have something accumulated in her chest, making her feel tight and angry.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

"Are you showing off in front of me?"

Liu Su looked at her with a cold face.

Zhiyuan looked back at her, her eyes always calm.

"Do I need to show off?"
