The Archfiend’s spiritual power attacked like a hot knife cutting through butter, but it missed.
He was so angry he destroyed the palace wall.
“Damn it, we really should’ve dealt with this woman sooner.” The Archfiend remembered Nan Ningxin. “It’s all that woman’s fault. Why didn’t she deal with her when she went to steal the Sky Splitting Mirror?”
Leaving behind such a disaster.
Nan Ningxin would be the first to feel wronged. If she had known that Gu Bailu was the woman the Heavenly Emperor loved, she would’ve killed her eight hundred years ago. Would she have let her live a second longer?
No way!
Gu Bailu and the others fled.
Xiao Jingyun wanted to chase them, but the Archfiend stopped him. “Stop chasing. Capture the ones that haven’t escaped.”
“But we can’t let them take the supreme pill away!” Xiao Jingyun’s eyes were red.
He had worked hard for half a year and put in so much effort and money, but it was stolen just like that?
How could he take this lying down?
“Then go after them.” The Archfiend didn’t want to talk to the idiot anymore. He turned around and said to his ghost army, “Capture all the outsiders left in the palace.”
Bu Yaolian, who was sitting in the room with the little crown prince, could hear the rush of footsteps outside.
The number of imperial guards in the palace immediately increased.
She took a look at the time and saw that it was already midnight; the supreme pill should have matured.
It was so chaotic outside. Had Gu Bailu already succeeded?
What about Shao Zun? Would he come under suspicion?
Bu Yaolian hugged the crown prince and said to the guard outside, “Go and find out what’s going on outside.”
The guard acknowledged the order.
Not long after, he returned. “Miss Lian’er, it seems that the supreme pill was stolen. The palace is being cleared of all outsiders and the guests are being rounded up.”
Bu Yaolian’s heart skipped a beat. “Then isn’t it dangerous here?”
“Don’t worry, Miss Lian’er. Shao Zun has left an escape route. If it’s dangerous, we’ll take you with us. There’s no reason for the Rising Clouds Emperor to attack us yet.”
Bu Yaolian tilted her head and thought for a moment. Shao Zun wasn’t truly a suspect yet.
However, Shao Zun didn’t come back in the end. She was a little uneasy.
“Your Highness, your mother has to come back safely. I wonder how she’s doing.”
Everybody was out there; who knew how Qian’er was doing.
Had Prince Zi and Princess Zi escaped or were they trapped in the palace?
Bu Yaolian could only sit there and worry.
Suddenly, there was the sound of hooves outside Qinghua Palace. Bu Yaolian’s eyes narrowed, and she hurriedly hugged the little crown prince. “What should I do? What should I do, little crown prince? If they want to capture you, should I protect myself or you?”
Bu Yaolian was a little panicked. In this situation, she probably couldn’t save anyone.
The crown prince blinked his bright eyes at her. He wasn’t flustered at all, as if what happened next wouldn’t be a big deal.
Bu Yaolian suddenly calmed down. If the crown prince wasn’t scared, why should she be scared?
Wow… She wanted to cry. She was scared. She hadn’t had a baby with Shao Zun yet, and hadn’t seen him for the last time. She didn’t want to die.
Someone rushed in and seemed to be arguing with the guards outside.
Didn’t the guard say that there was a backup plan?
What should she do now?
She held the runes that Gu Bailu had left for her, which could fake her death.
