Chapter 394: Giving Someone Something to Hold Against You?

The night is shrouded.

Outside the palace gate.

The imperial guards surrounded the entire palace and were on high alert.

Countless soldiers in armor stood in the cold wind, and the atmosphere was filled with murderous aura.

Until the night, a black shadow suddenly appeared silently, hiding in the darkness, with a very fast speed, leaving only a trail of afterimages in the original place.

Until it was about to approach the palace gate, it finally attracted the attention of the imperial guards at the palace gate.

"Who?!"

A sharp cold shout came.

But before this cold shout could fall, in the darkness, this afterimage rushed directly to the palace gate with the momentum of a whirlwind.

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

The originally well-prepared formation was torn open!

"Someone wants to break out of the palace by force, stop him!"

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

The next second!

"Shua shua shua!"

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

However, the black shadow turned a blind eye and did not take these imperial guards with strong martial arts into consideration.

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

"Boom!"

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

As soon as the imperial guards approached, they were directly blown away by this powerful internal force.

No one can stop it!

This scene made all the imperial guards present feel depressed.

Something is wrong!

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

The terrifying momentum is too terrifying to look at!

Such momentum is more like...

"Grandmaster?!"

Many people showed fear on their faces. There are only a handful of grandmasters in the world.

Tonight, a grandmaster broke into the palace? !

"Stop!"

In the dark night, this black-robed figure tore through the encirclement of the imperial guards as if he was in an empty space, and approached the palace gate as if he was in an empty space.

The palace wall that is almost insurmountable for ordinary people. But it is no difficulty for him.

No one can stop it!

The imperial guards in the palace could only watch this mysterious figure in black robes escape from the palace in front of everyone's eyes!

"Quick, report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"A suspected grandmaster has appeared!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"..."

Inside and outside the palace gate, it has long been a mess.

Faced with the appearance of a suspected grandmaster, the imperial guards had no way to deal with it.

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

Not to mention trying to stop the other party?

When the turmoil outside the palace gate was going on, the black-robed figure had quietly left the palace and hidden in the darkness.

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

"Leader!"

Several figures had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When they saw the leader appear, they hurried forward to greet him.

"Where is Saint Liu?"

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

Looking at the crowd, he did not see the red dress.

"Report to the leader, Saint Liu has not come back yet." Someone reported.

Hearing this news, the eyes under the bronze mask suddenly became sharp: "Is she still in the palace?"

"Where is the third prince?"

"The third prince's coup failed, the palace gate has been blocked, and the news from the palace cannot be heard... Now there is no news from the palace..."

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

Silence, cold.

The leader of the Tianshen Sect, who did not speak, gave everyone present a fierce momentum, making them shudder.

"Go down first."

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

"Yes."

Everyone present spoke respectfully and left the courtyard one after another. .

The third elder looked up at the leader, hesitant to speak, and finally said nothing and left.

After everyone left, the body of the Tianshen Sect leader, who had always been calm, deep and mysterious, trembled slightly as he stood there.

Next.

"Cough cough..."

Accompanied by a series of coughs, the leader's breath was visibly disordered, and his original momentum dissipated.

He covered his chest with one hand, and his eyes, which had always been calm, flashed with a bit of surprise, as if he had not been able to accept it for a long time.

He was injured? !

...

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

In the Yangxin Palace.

When he realized that Piaomiao was injured, Li Qining was a little panicked.

From childhood to adulthood, his sister has always been a very strong and calm woman in his eyes. He has never seen Piaomiao's face so pale, let alone as weak as she is now.

Li Piaomiao now looks much more haggard.

She still has that cold face, but there is a bit of unhealthy paleness, as if she is very tired, which makes her whole person weaker.

Especially these coughs, which 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 asked nervously: "What's going on? How could Piao Miaoqian be injured? Is there a master on Father's side...?"

"Um."

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 Xinjiang?"

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 Religion.

"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 Cunning breathed a sigh of relief. Jinxiu and An Ning were a pair of twin palace maids who were close to Miao Miao. Although Jinxiu didn't know martial arts, she had a cheerful personality. An Ning didn't like to talk, but her martial arts was very high. With the two of them by their mother's side, there is 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.

"Um."

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 Miaomiao: "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.

The air was still filled with a faint smell of blood.

Just outside the palace, several fully armed imperial guards in armor were looking serious, as if they were facing a great enemy.

They were worried, as if there was some kind of oppressive atmosphere, which made them very alert and dared not slack off.

Not far in front of these imperial guards, outside the palace, two figures stood quietly.

Two beautiful women with charming temperaments!

Both of them were dressed in black, but the difference was that the woman on the left was wearing a tight suit, which was heroic. The woman on the right was wearing a black skirt, which was elegant and cold.

Both of them were extremely cold and beautiful. Even in the dark night, people still dared not look directly at them.

More importantly, the imperial guards outside the palace felt an invisible sense of oppression from these two beautiful women.

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

These two women... are not simple!

...

At the same time

Outside the palace, Liu Su and Zhi Yuan were standing outside the gate of Yangxin Palace. The two stood side by side, not too far from each other. They all looked forward and remained silent.

Such a strange and seemingly harmonious scene was very strange!

For a long time.

"Heh, is this his way?"

Liu Su looked quietly at the gate of Yangxin Palace in front of him, and a sneer appeared on his cold face.

I thought this guy could have some powerful way, but he didn't expect to go to the prince?

He, the prince of Lin Wang, appeared here tonight. He didn't try to conceal his identity and leave quietly, but took the initiative to turn himself in... Stupid!

He wouldn't really rely on his engagement with the eldest princess to try to get close to the prince, right?

Could the prince let him go for this face?

Thinking of this, Liu Su turned her head and looked at Zhi Yuan beside her: "You, didn't you persuade him just now?"

Zhi Yuan didn't look back, and said lightly: "What to persuade?"

"He went to the prince... Isn't he afraid of being regarded as an accomplice of the third prince and arrested for treason?"

Now the court is worried that it can't take action against the Lin Wang Mansion. Isn't his move tonight rushing to give the court a handle?

Zhi Yuan didn't say anything, just turned her head and looked at her.

Eye to eye.

"What's your look?"

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

"Why persuade?"

Zhi Yuan turned his eyes away from her and said lightly: "He's not that stupid!"

The understatement of the tone instantly made Liu Su realize... She was deliberately mocking herself!

What do you mean by 'he's not that stupid'?

What does this mean, calling her stupid?

That guy is not that stupid, but he still dares to go to the prince. In this case, there is only one explanation... He had a plan!

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

The two of them were sweet and affectionate, communicating with each other, loving each other... Only she was excluded from the relationship.

Like a fool?

Thinking of this, Liu Su felt as if something was piled up in her chest, making her feel stuffy and angry.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

"Are you showing off in front of me?"

Liu Su looked at her coldly.

Zhiyuan looked back at her, her eyes always calm.

"Do I need to show off?"

"..."
