The Mirror of Startling Beauty: Her courtiers are everywhere

"Let's go outside and take a look."

Tang Xixue left the two little white cats in the house.

Yin Kong and his younger brother curled up on the soft couch, their sapphire-like eyes gazing longingly at her, but they did not stop her again.

It just let out a soft "meow," as if reminding her to be careful.

Tang Xixue put on a veil, the light gauze falling to cover her stunning face, and stepped out the door with Yan Ci.

Yan Ci handed over the news of the Crimson Dust Gu to the Hidden Dragon Guards to be relayed back to the palace. Before leaving, he paused slightly and glanced back at the hidden guards who were obeying orders.

"Remember what should be reported and what shouldn't be reported."

He spoke a sentence in a calm tone, yet it sent chills down the spines of every Hidden Dragon Guard.

They understood perfectly well what the strategist meant by those words.

Some things can be said, and some things should be kept to yourself and never told to the outside world.

at the same time.

The message delivered by Pei Yanchuan had not yet reached Regent Qi Si.

After leaving Beichen, Yun Chuan's team headed north, and as soon as they entered Yun Chuan territory, they were attacked unexpectedly.

"Shuashua——"

Arrows rained down.

Qi Wang protected Regent Qi Si, the silver bells on his clothes jingling softly in the wind, and his natal sword, Dao You, was drawn like a dragon's roar.

They managed to defend against the front, but they couldn't defend against the back.

"Father—help!"

The little girl's cries rang out.

Mei Ruohuan and Pei Ningran were kidnapped in the chaos.

"So graceful! So beautiful!"

Qi Si was extremely anxious and leaped after him. He had only gone a few feet when he suddenly shuddered and his face turned ashen.

He sensed it.

The natal Gu has died.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

It was the one of the silk-binding gu on Mei Ruohuan's body that was connected to his life that broke off.

The backlash came suddenly and fiercely, like a knife ripped out of the heart.

Qi Si froze, then plummeted straight down, crashing heavily to the ground. Blood trickled from the corner of his lips, staining his clothes red.

"Royal Uncle!"

Qi Wang instantly rushed to his side and blocked all the poisoned arrows that were falling on him.

His guards and the regent's guards gathered together at the same time.

"Lord, the Regent is seriously injured. Quickly hand him over to me."

Emperor Qi Zhan of Yun Chuan looked at Qi Wang with a smile on his face, his voice carrying just the right amount of anxiety.

"Brother, you're not a doctor, what use would it be to you?"

Qi Wang helped Qi Si up and led him back to his carriage, his tone indifferent.

"Uncle, your natal Gu has died. What can you do?"

As he spoke, he had already channeled his inner strength to keep him alive.

really.

The Achilles' heel of Regent Qi Si is Mei Ruohuan.

The life and death of the silk-pulling gu are intertwined; they are bound together for life, sharing both birth and death.

The other side clearly understood this, so instead of dealing with the troublesome Qi Si, they went straight for Mei Ruohuan.

One fatal blow.

"Sir, do you intend to remain subservient to others forever?"

When Qi Zhan saw that his younger brother Qi Wang was actually helping the Regent Qi Si, he could no longer suppress his anger.

He had been planning for so long and finally got this opportunity. Was he going to let his own younger brother ruin it?

"I have no plans to commit regicide or rebellion for the time being."

Qi Wang didn't even raise his head.

"Does Your Majesty no longer wish to sit in this position?"

He finally looked up at Qi Zhan, his gaze clear and unfathomable, yet it sent a chill down Qi Zhan's spine.

"..."

Qi Zhan was speechless, his face turning pale and then flushed, his fist clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"I never expected that we would be attacked again after returning to Yunchuan."

Qi Wang simply said this, and Qi Zhan was speechless.

Qi Zhan understood the meaning behind those words perfectly.

The attack was so precise and the timing so perfect; who would believe there wasn't an inside agent?

"Fortunately, I had already ordered the army to meet us here, and they will be here soon."

No sooner said than done, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

His elite cavalry from the Yunchuan army surged forward like a black torrent, surrounding and protecting the group.

In an instant, swords clashed and the sounds of battle shook the heavens.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the attacking forces abandoned dozens of corpses and quickly retreated into the dense forest, disappearing from sight.

Qi Zhan glanced at Qi Wang, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

But then I thought, if the natal Gu dies, Qi Si won't survive either.

Without the regent, the world of Yun Chuan will ultimately belong to him.

Thinking about this, his mood improved again.

"The arrangements made by the authorities are indeed thorough."

Qi Zhan praised him without showing any sadness.

As for the royal uncle who personally raised them brothers, taught them to read and practice martial arts, and supported the entire Yunchuan for them.

He had not a single worry.

As Qi Wang watched Qi Zhan's departing figure, he suddenly felt a profound sense of estrangement.

When did he become like this?

He withdrew his gaze and glanced down at the unconscious Qi Si.

"Thankfully... Ying Lin isn't on this route."

Qi Wang's lips curved into a cold smile, as if they were frosted.

"This is a road to the underworld."

At this moment, Qi Wang seemed to understand many things.

If Pei Yanchuan were also in this group, the first person they would probably kill would be that weak scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken.

After all, he was the regent's blood-related heir.

at the same time.

The magnificent Guixu Palace, like a celestial palace, stands atop the sea of ​​clouds.

Two enormous, towering statues of the sun and moon stood on either side, overlooking the myriad beings below.

The magnificent palaces are layered upon each other, shrouded in mist, making it seem like a fairyland rather than a mortal realm.

Guixu Palace is magnificent and grand, unlike the dark and gloomy atmosphere of ordinary cults. Instead, it shines with boundless light, making people feel awe and dare not desecrate it.

High above the clouds, a figure stands against the light.

Golden light poured down from behind him, enveloping him in a hazy halo.

His face and clothes were obscured; all that could be seen was his tall, pine-like figure, as imposing as a mountain.

This person is the Master of Guixu Palace.

"The mission failed?"

The voice was young and gentle, with a hint of nonchalance, as if it were just casual conversation.

"Then why did you come back?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the temperature in the entire hall plummeted to freezing.

Those standing on both sides lowered their heads, not daring to breathe too heavily.

"Palace Master, please forgive me."

Sang Tingke knelt on the ground, the wound in his heart not yet healed. Every word he spoke tugged at his flesh and blood, causing him excruciating pain.

He dared not hesitate for a moment, nor did he dare to conceal anything.

"At least, my subordinates have eliminated our biggest threat this time."

His voice carried a hint of self-satisfaction.

"The Heavenly Physician of Life is dead, and no one can stop us from carrying out executions on behalf of Heaven and making offerings to the Heavenly Way."

"At the same time, my subordinates also brought back the saintess."

Sang Tingke of the Heavenly Punishment Hall was originally tasked with burning the city with heavenly fire.

They burned unarmed civilians and the entire Baiyujing (White Jade Capital) as a sacrifice to Heaven, hoping to gain greater fortune for the Guixu Palace.

But he hated Bei Chenji to the core.

He hated him to the core, hated him so much that he thought about how to make him suffer day and night.

So he changed the mission without authorization.

He used the Heavenly Fire Array, powerful enough to incinerate Baiyujing, to deal with Tangxi Xue.

The person Bei Chenji secretly loved for so many years was hidden deep in his heart.

"Missing the mission warrants execution."

The voice of the Palace Master of Guixu Palace descended from above, neither angry nor imposing, yet it sent chills down one's spine.

"Considering your merits, you shall go to Wuchi to be punished. Your merits and demerits shall cancel each other out."

His tone was so calm, as if he were talking about something trivial, as if Sang Tingke's life or death was nothing more than a matter of turning one's hand over one's hand.

"Thank you for your mercy, Palace Master."

Sang Tingke kowtowed deeply, not daring to say another word.

Their palace master is extremely mysterious and extremely powerful.

No one knew where he came from or how long he had lived, and no one dared to utter a single disrespectful word in his presence.

Within this Guixu Palace, his will is the Way of Heaven.

"The Celestial Physician of Destiny has been killed, and Regent Qi Si has been eliminated. All that remains is to remove the Divine Physician of the Moon-Folding Sect... In this world, no one can break this deadlock."

"Pass down the order; Qizhu can make his move now."

"Yes, Palace Master."
