When the silver white barrier dissipated, I could finally hear the sounds of fighting outside … The mages were already fighting with Jane Rou and the others!
Thunder rumbled outside the temple as swords and sabers clashed, and I had the bead. Finally, seeing that I had succeeded, he was very satisfied and shouted, "Retreat!" So we all retreated as we fought.
Mages continued to attack from afar, and in the distance, the imperial guards seemed to have been alerted as well!
We only have four people, we can only use luck and not force our way through. Now that we have gotten our hands on the Heavenly Jewels, Mu Yu threw a piece of paper talisman into my hands and said softly: "This is the Escape Talisman, we will gather at the walls of the cold palace later."
Jane and Protector Tong immediately used their Earth Escape Technique and disappeared. As for Mo Yu, she also disappeared right in front of me! I was stunned and quickly chanted an incantation. "Sou!" I also escaped! However, what was more tragic was that I didn't know which direction the cold palace was in, so when the Earth Escape Talisman's mana dissipated, I was still standing inside the palace. Looking at the magnificent palace before me, I really want to cry … I, I, I'm lost again!
As I approached the palace, my eyes widened as I studied it. I could finally make out the sign on the lintel with the words' Palace of Heavy Flowers' written in large letters.
That's why I said, the imperial palace is so annoying. Why would a good palace be called such a literary name? Why not just directly say the West Palace of the East Palace!
Helplessly, I saw that no one was on my left or right, so I leapt up onto the palace wall, intending to look down from above to see where I was. At this moment, a broken corner of the palace wall attracted my attention … There seemed to be a fire there, and the only recent one in the palace seemed to be the Crown Prince's Palace.
Then, this should be the east side, right? Oh no, the Cold Palace is in the southwest corner...
I jumped down off the wall and estimated the general direction to the southwest corner. After walking for a while, a person suddenly crawled out from the mound in front of me!
"Ah!" It's Jane protecting me, she gave me a fright! Why did you come to the crown prince's east palace as well? " I patted my chest and stared at her. "Are you lost too?"
Although I don't really like her, I'm still a bit happy to meet my own people in this crisis.
Jane Rou glared at me and said, "We made an appointment to meet at the Cold Palace, but you were nowhere to be seen! The Sect Leader was worried about your safety, so he called me back to look for you! "
I was touched and a little worried. "Did Muyu also come back?"
Jane softly replied, "The Sect Leader went to save the old lady."
It turned out that Empress Pei had already gathered all the medicinal ingredients and was planning to smuggle her out of the palace. At this time, he had already gone to the Pill Phoenix Palace, and Jane and Protector Tong were in charge of separately searching for me.
"What are you waiting for? Come with me!" Jian Rou shouted.
The beauty was angry, and of course I had to obey her, so I followed her happily.
Just as the two of them took a few steps forward, they suddenly saw a group of lights up ahead! The troops were grandiose and there were faint sounds of weapons being used as soldiers. It seemed to be the royal guards of the palace!
"Shh …" Someone is coming! "
Jane made a gesture of silence and I stopped in time. At this moment, we weren't far from the guards and there was no time to dodge, so Jian Rou could only bring me and leap up the tree! We hid in a nearby parasol tree and held our breath.
As expected, that troop was heading in our direction. The lights were flickering, and someone was reporting on the situation in the temple as they walked. "Your highness, the Heavenly Jewels have been stolen …"
Crown Prince? That should be Mu Yu's little brother, right?
When I heard this, I curiously stretched my neck. Jane Rou nudged my head in annoyance. I immediately retracted my body and changed back into my fox-like appearance … This appearance was rather small in size, so it was not easy to find.
We stayed in the shadows of the wutong tree. The darkness of the night was dim, and I could vaguely see a man dressed in brocade clothes, his aura outstanding. Under the protection of several eunuchs and a group of guards, he gradually approached us …
[Is this the legendary crown prince?] From the looks of it, that figure looked pretty good. However, given how rotten the imperial government was, it was likely that he was not a good person …
While we were guessing wildly, the Crown Prince passed by under the tree. Jian Rou and I held our breaths. However, His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly stopped under a tree and turned around slowly. He raised his head abruptly and looked in my direction!
"Aiya!" I cried out in alarm, and immediately afterwards, a sharp wind from my palm fiercely attacked from behind … It was Jane Rou who attacked me!
When she saw that I had exposed my whereabouts, she actually brought me down from the tree!
I suddenly lost my balance and fell from the tree... O earth, my mother!
With a "bam," I failed to kiss my mother, but instead rolled into a warm embrace! It was the crown prince who lifted his hand to catch me. His face was filled with astonishment. The guards around him pulled out their sabers and shouted loudly, "Come, catch the assassins!"
Stabbing your sister, Assassin! Don't you guards have anything else to say?
I rolled my eyes at someone on the Wutong tree in annoyance, then looked up at the crown prince's handsome face and froze.
Beauty, such a familiar beauty …
At this time, someone shouted from the side, "That's great! Hurry and report to the emperor that the fox demon has been captured! "
The man's voice was loud enough to scare a man to death, so the Emperor of the Palace would probably be able to hear him. My God … I'm in trouble this time!
I looked pitifully at the crown prince. The crown prince looked at me helplessly and said softly, "Little fox, oh little fox, why have you come to the palace!"
Under the gaze of the crowd, he could only helplessly hand me over to the Mage, tied me up with a Demon Bind. Then, I heard a bunch of the Evergreen Sect's secret words, "Ah Pi, you can hold on for now, I'll think of a way to save you later!"
The person speaking was none other than the crown prince.
Life is full of surprises. Life is full of surprises … The noble and handsome Crown Prince in front of me is no one else but the Martial Uncle I've been thinking about day and night, Qing Ling! Qingling: Really? Have you really thought about me …)
Although I knew from the start that Qing Ling was a noble young master, I didn't expect this young master to be so expensive … Crown Prince …
I finally understand why the Evergreen Sect has such a close relationship with the imperial government.
However, the crown prince didn't want to expose my identity in front of everyone. Instead, he pretended not to know me. However, I believe that he will definitely think of a way to save me.
Unexpectedly, this great person turned around and left while I was tied up like a dumpling by a mage and thrown into an ice-cold dungeon.
Although I was locked in the dungeon, I was not too nervous, because I believed that Qingling would come to get me out soon.
Unexpectedly, even though I was locked up in the middle of the night, no one paid attention to me. The dungeon was extremely cold, and I was only afraid of the cold fox.
Seeing that the sky was gradually brightening, I couldn't help but stick my head out and call out to the prison guard at the door: "Please, big brother, can you find me a thick shirt? It's so cold here, you can't mistreat a prisoner! "
After continuously calling him for a few times, that jailer acted like a statue. Even though I had distorted my sense of aesthetics and called him "handsome guy", he still remained expressionless and turned a deaf ear to me.
I sighed and sat back down on the cold floor. When will Qing Ling come to see me?
Just as he was thinking about this, the sound of footsteps came from outside … It was the emperor!
He was only in his early forties, and his build was tall and well-built. However, with my sharp eyes, I immediately noticed that he had severe bags under his eyes and dark circles under his eyes.
Remembering the grandeur of his four women that night, I stepped back and pressed my back against the wall.
When the Emperor reached the dungeon, he was immediately opened by a prison guard. When he entered the cell and stood in front of me, I couldn't help but look behind him … Qing Ling did not follow him.
I was a little disappointed. The emperor's gaze was slightly obscene. "Who are you waiting for, little fox? "Why do I feel like you're looking forward to it?"
