A side door to the palace.

A carriage slowly approached from afar.

The guards immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Who is it!"

The carriage driver immediately stepped forward with an apologetic smile. "Mister soldier, the vegetables today are really fresh. The empress even asked him to buy some beauties' nests, but we can't delay him." the coachman said, thrusting a bag of gold coins into the guard's hand.

He walked around the carriage for a while, and sure enough, there were some vegetables and fruits inside. As for the two buyers, he saw them every day, and they were already familiar to him. This coachman also gave him gold coins every few days, so he was used to it.

The average-looking lady lowered her head and slowly pulled at the reins of her horse as she entered the palace. Just as she was about to enter, she heard a cold shout, "All of you, stop!"

The guard's expression changed as he hastily threw the money bag to the coachman to welcome him.

This person was clad in iron armor, and when he walked, he was as vigorous as a dragon or as strong as a tiger.

This person was the commander in charge of the security, and also Leng Yanxiao's personal guard, Wang Zhong!

Previously, he was exiled because of his secret relationship with Su Xianghe, but today, he appeared in the Forbidden Palace and even held the position of the commander of the imperial guards.

"Commander Wang!" The guard went forward and knelt on one knee.

"There is no need for fresh fruits in the palace today. His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace gate, so all doors are closed!" Wang Zhong impatiently looked at the coachman and the unassuming woman in front of the horse and coldly said.

The carriage driver's expression changed as he hurried to say with a smile, "Commander Wang, horses need to enter the palace every day. Placing a melon fruit for one night would be a waste …"

"Scram!" Wang Zhong impatiently waved his hand, "Without His Majesty's order, no one is allowed to enter the palace!"

Seeing that Wang Zhong was not going to give up, the coachman couldn't help but glance at the girl in front of the horse.

It seemed like Leng Yanxiao had acted even faster than he had imagined. Although Leng Feimo had also been trying his best to gain support after returning from Mount Li, compared to the huge tree that covered him up, the situation in the imperial government was in a very disadvantageous situation.

But no matter how unstable the situation was, Leng Feimo still had a chance of winning. As long as there was one person who supported him, then no one would be able to take him down, and that person was Leng Ao Tian!

The first task was naturally to enter the palace.

Yun Jinxiu's eyes flashed, turned and walked to Wang Zhong, and said: "Commander Wang's work is truly strict, no wonder the current palace city is so impregnable."

Wang Zhong suddenly frowned. An insignificant little palace maid actually dared to speak to him in such a tone. Wang Zhong was slightly unhappy and could not help but look at Yun Jinxiu.

But it was this look that caused his body to lurch, and his eyes to become empty.

In Yun Jinxiu's eyes, a jade-green glow slowly jumped about, like a small flame, while Wang Zhong seemed to be enticed by the flame, his expression becoming somewhat dull.

"But the empress is waiting for the lotus seed bird's nest soup. If Commander Wang doesn't allow it, it'll make the empress unhappy." Yun Jinxiu's tone of voice was light but low, the people around only treated her as begging and did not think too much about it.

Wang Zhong's eyes were dull as he said in a daze, "In that case, I'll let you in temporarily!"

Although he did not know what methods Yun Jinxiu had used, as long as he entered the palace gate, there was still hope. Therefore, he did not ask much as he pulled the carriage towards the gate.

Since Commander Wang had spoken, the group of guards naturally did not stop him. They hurriedly allowed him through.

Within the palace gates, were layers of defenses. Yun Jinxiu and Leng Feimo looked at each other, found a quiet place to abandon the carriage, and disappeared in a flash.

Outside the palace, Wang Zhong suddenly regained his senses. When he saw the coachman who had disappeared from sight, his expression darkened as he shouted, "Where are those two?"

"Eh, Commander Wang, didn't you let them pass?" The guard by the side broke out in a cold sweat.

"Capture these two immediately!" Wang Zhong shouted!

The closer they got to the Hall of the Twin Dragon, the tighter their defenses became. Every single one of them was wearing cold and biting cold armor, and in a breath's time, they formed an unassailable wall of auras.

"Embroidery, the Twin Dragon Palace has been sealed layer by layer. Leng Yanxiao even used the Divine Dragon Armor, it will probably be extremely difficult for us to charge in." Leng Feimo's face revealed shock. Even though he had predicted that Leng Yanxiao would take action, he didn't expect that he would actually be so daring as to use the things that the royal father was using.

The Divine Dragon Armor could only be used by kings, because it could control a terrifying army — the Divine Dragon Army!

Yun Jinxiu's eyes flickered slightly, but he maintained a calm expression on his face. With both hands forming a seal, the Beast Martial Spirit gently changed its form and transformed into countless small flying bugs that flew towards the Twin Dragon Palace.

The Divine Dragon Army that was guarding the entrance to the hall suddenly raised their heads and attacked together. The biting cold saber light flashed and countless small flying insects were minced into pieces.

Leng Feimo's expression changed as he looked at Yun Jinxiu abruptly. Although the injured master of the Beast Martial Spirit would not be fatal, but it would more or less have an impact on the master. With so many flying bugs being minced, he was naturally worried about Yun Jinxiu's internal injuries.

However, Yun Jinxiu's expression was still as calm as ever. He was clearly standing there, yet he did not make a sound, and if he did not personally see her, he simply could not believe that there was someone standing in front of him.

Although countless flying insects had been destroyed, there were still some who had escaped the net.

A flying insect quietly flew into the main hall.

The hall was as still as stagnant water, and layers of phoenix feathers hung low, obscuring the light within the hall.

Leng Ao Tian's face was haggard as he laid motionless on the dragon bed. His breathing was ragged, as if he would break at any moment.

Leng Yanxiao was dressed in dragon armor, his entire face hidden in the shadows, staring coldly at the sickly man lying on the bed.

"You're about to die and you're still not going to reveal the candidate to be the crown prince?" Leng Yanxiao's voice was cold, she tyrannically grabbed Leng Ao Tian's hand and pressed it into the ink pan.

Leng Ao Tian's eyelids fluttered rapidly, as though he wanted to open his eyes. His hands were also trembling uncontrollably.

"If you don't want to say it, I'll do it for you!" Leng Yanxiao laughed sinisterly, "My son Yan Xiao, a good-natured, good-natured, talented, well-versed in martial arts, humble, and compassionate person, is in fact the descendant of a heaven-sent dragon. "Today, I suddenly fell ill and have issued an edict to the world to help my son ascend to the throne. This is my reward!"

Leng Ao Tian's entire body was trembling, his eyelids rolling down faster and faster, but his withered hand was still unwilling to press down on the testamentary edict.

Leng Yanxiao's face turned sinister: "You old bastard, the throne is mine. You're about to die and you're still struggling to pass on your life to that sickly prick? Since you are so attached to him, I will let him accompany you on your journey through the Road to River Styx! "

With his strength surging, Leng Yanxiao gritted his teeth and suddenly suppressed Leng Ao Tian's hand. With a light "pa" sound, he snapped Leng Ao Tian's os manus, and was pulled by Leng Yanxiao as he forcefully pressed it onto the testamentary edict.

While Leng Ao Tian was in critical danger, he was met with such a tragic situation. Under his extreme anger, his chest began to violently move up and down.
