C9

A few sirens sounded in the dead of night, and the palace was brightly lit. The Mentor left the room in a flash.

Assassins had entered the palace, and the Imperial Guards were searching everywhere. She had to take care of the corpses in the restaurant, or else they would arrest her for hiding an assassin in the open.

As expected, not long after, a group of Imperial Guards surrounded the restaurant. The Imperial Guard Commander Xiao Baisheng gave the order, and the archers aimed their arrows at the entrance of the restaurant, preparing to attack.

Only after seeing their teacher walk out of the restaurant did the Imperial Guard step forward and say: "Miss Luo Qing, a group of assassins came from the Imperial Palace. According to the guard's report, they fled towards the south and disappeared in front of the Painted Fox Restaurant. We are here to apprehend the assassins and have them search the Painted Fox Restaurant.

She raised her head to look at the silent night, and coldly asked, "Assassin..." Is there a need to aim an arrow at my restaurant to capture an assassin? Grandmaster Yan is so big, and the night is so dark, yet the assassin actually chose the Painted Fox Inn? "

"There are a lot of people in the restaurant, it's reasonable for an assassin to sneak in. Could it be that Miss Luo Qing wants to go against the order?"

As Xiao Bainian spoke, he observed that there were no traces of a fight on her body. Surprisingly, she was dressed in a light muslin dress, looking neat and stylish, as if there were no signs of a fight.

The Mentor continued, "I live with guests, and I rely on them to earn some silver taels for my livelihood. How can I explain it to my guests if I can't find the assassin and disturb them? Search okay, but... Luo Qing originally had a treasure in her possession that she wanted to present to His Majesty. Who would have known that an assassin would appear here? If these people were to destroy the treasure in their search, not only would I feel heartache, His Majesty would also take off your heads. "

Xiao Baicao was still half believing and half doubting that the order was given by the Emperor in order to kill her. As for the treasure, he had never heard of it before.

"I have never heard of Miss Luo Qing possessing any treasures. I only know how to follow orders." "Someone, enter and search!"

"Wait a moment ~" The Mentor leaned close to the Commander's ear and whispered, "Tell His Majesty, does he still want the nation's most precious treasure?"

He opened his eyes wide. After three years since the new emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to obtain the royal family's national treasure. It was because Master Chu did not have a treasure to control the country that he was rejected by some courtiers.

Xiao Ba Sheng was a trusted aide of Master Chu, he had stayed with the Palace before Master Chu had ascended to the throne, so how could he not know that the national treasure was more important than his life. He just did not know that it was a bargaining chip that Master Chu used to exchange rights with Da Cang.

If it was in Luo Qing's hands, it would act recklessly. At that time, even the Emperor would blame it, so he could not bear the responsibility.

Xiao Baisheng thought for a moment and decided to first withdraw his troops and obtain the permission of the Emperor before searching.

"But the order came from His Majesty. If I were to be blamed by His Majesty for withdrawing my troops, it would be better for Lady Luo Qing to personally meet with him. This way, I could be relieved of my responsibility. What does Lady Luo Qing think?"

She smiled sinisterly. Even if she was not allowed to enter the palace, she would personally seek revenge from the teachers.

Taking away Master Chu's life was too easy, but this Painted Fox Restaurant could not be lost, and the Heavenly Master was even more so. This was not only a normal restaurant, but also the work she had done in the past half year.

She'd spent half a year to establish a force, so why would she put the Painted Fox Inn in danger?

"Of course, I can go to the Sage at once. If Your Majesty insists on searching the restaurant, then I will be no different."

Chu Shiyao calmly followed Xiao Bainian into the Imperial Palace.

The great hall was completely silent. Unlike its usual state, there were no palace maids or eunuchs guarding the hall, but it was filled with killing intent.

As he stepped into the main hall, he saw Master Kan frowning and pretending to be calm as he sat in the main hall.

"How dare you, Luo Qing, hide an assassin, and dare enter the palace? "Why aren't you kneeling when you see me?" the teacher asked.

Her expression did not change, it seemed like she had not taught him a lesson enough. Leaving him alive was because she did not want to see the internal strife in the country and wanted others to take advantage of it.

"Kneel before you …" Didn't you send those assassins yourself? How did it become my concealment? You think you can kill me with a few assassins? "Master Kan, you're underestimating me too much!" "I dare to threaten you. If I dare to poison you, I'm not afraid that you will harm me."

Master Kan shouted angrily, "We are the emperor, we have no choice but to do this! However, if you hand over the treasure, we can consider sparing your life. Ever since you stepped into the palace, there have been secret guards everywhere. I won't be threatened like last time, as you won't be able to escape. "

He clenched his fists tightly. He had endured the humiliation of being poisoned. Originally, the blood of the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox was able to cure the poison from his body. However, the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox had not obtained it and was instead threatened.

With her mysterious identity, there was no room for her.

"The nation's most precious treasure is owned by the royal family. You are only a relative with the surname, how could you be qualified to own it?"

"You …"

Shi Kan was furious. He raised his hand and made a grabbing gesture. A lot of dark guards rushed out from the secret spaces on both sides of the hall and surrounded the Mentor.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly, she opened her fierce eyes. Her flexible body moved at a ghost-like speed, knocking down the guard holding the sword.

Suddenly, he saw a shadow appear behind him. A long sword was placed against his neck, frightening him so much that he began to tremble.

This night was destined to be chaotic. Not only had his plan failed, it had not put him in a difficult position, and had instead put him in a dangerous situation.

"You … You dare to kill a monarch? Aren't you afraid that I will exterminate your entire clan? "

Nine Clans! Her family was all dead, there was no need to worry about the Nine Clan. If it was Master Chu, he could kill her too without fear!

The sword peak pierced through the skin, fresh blood slowly flowed onto the edge of the blade, releasing a stern sound!

"Why would I not dare? People like us in the martial arts world play with our lives, with our swords and sabers. With just a few assassins, how can those hidden guards kill me? I am just a little girl, but sometimes, a woman's blade will only be even sharper, especially one like me who hates evil. "

"What do you want?" Master Chu asked with a trembling voice.

"What I want, you can't give! Originally, I wanted to spare your life, but a person like you will never be satisfied. "You once betrayed your Heavenly Master for the sake of the throne, and now, you've even betrayed Big Cang for the sake of preserving the throne. You even want to kill me off and leave you with a calamity that will only result in you becoming my Heavenly Master!"

Master Kan opened his eyes wide, knowing that he had caused trouble. Before he could say anything, a Gu worm was implanted into his body by his teacher. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep!

After receiving the imperial edict, the Imperial Guards didn't dare to step foot into Painted Fox again. She used the Gu to control the drought and started her plan to seize power.

The court sealed off the news of the big warehouse, and she planted her old officials in the political scene.

However, with the excuse of claiming illness, Master Kan temporarily handed over power to Guan Yi and the other old officials. Master Kan had already launched a coup, and the outside world was completely unaware of it.

Initially, he wanted to bring his younger brother to Master Yan and make arrangements for him to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, but he received the news of the arrival of the envoy from the granary at the moment.

She was sure that there was still a spy in the huge warehouse, otherwise, in just a month, an envoy would arrive. She was sure that he knew something was amiss.

Two days later, the envoy arrived at Yanzhou, welcoming Prince Consort Gong Xianghe. The one who had sent the Heavenly Master as the envoy was none other than the third prince of Da Cang, Sikong Qiancheng.
