Dingdu City. Night fell and the sky was filled with stars.
Two youths stood on the roof, looking in the direction of the palace.
"I don't know if Ming Xi and Jin 'er can find Empress Wang." Xu Jinbei sighed in a low voice. If even Ming Xi couldn't find her then no one else could.
"Even if we find her, can we bring her out of the palace?" Lin Yanbei said, "With just the few of us, what can we do here?"
Xu Jinbei turned his head to look at him, "You don't understand Ming Xi. If he wants to do something, he will definitely succeed."
"You seem to have a lot of confidence in Ming Xi." Lin Yanbei said that he really didn't understand Ming Xi. In the past, he was his study companion and not long after, Ming Xi disappeared. Afterwards, he was always together with Yan Xiaoliu.
If it wasn't for the emperor wanting him to keep an eye on Ming Xi, he definitely wouldn't be here. However, on the way here, he felt that Ming Xi was like a mystery.
Something must have happened in the years that he disappeared. How could someone's martial arts progress so quickly?
Especially when he drove away those wild beasts on the battlefield. He was so shocked that he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
"Of course I have confidence because he is Ming Xi." Xu Jinbei said with a smile. As long as it was Ming Xi, he felt that nothing was impossible.
"You've been by Ming Xi's side for so long, you should understand him?" Lin Yanbei probed.
Xu Jinbei turned around, "Not really. Are you interested in Ming Xi?"
"How could I not be interested." Lin Yanbei chuckled, "It's only been a few years and he's improved by leaps and bounds. I'm afraid that even if we joined hands with Yan Xiaoliu, we wouldn't be his match. Also, he can actually control wild beasts, don't you find it strange?"
"There's nothing strange about it." Xu Jinbei thought back to the strange things he saw in Cang Hai City. He faintly guessed something, but he would rather pretend that he didn't know anything, "Ming Xi has always been very strong."
Lin Yanbei doubtfully said, "There's nothing strange?"
"What do you want to know?" Xu Jinbei asked in a low voice, "Did the emperor send you to Ming Xi's side?"
"I have no other choice." Lin Yanbei dejectedly said, "Ming Xi secretly took the princess away from the palace, how could the emperor not be vigilant?"
Xu Jinbei pursed his lips tightly. The Emperor had looked for him to question him, but he didn't know anything at that time. However, the fact that Ming Xi had brought Ming Yu out of the palace had caught the Emperor's attention.
"Say, what ability did Mingxi learn?" Lin Yanbei asked in a low voice.
"Don't speak nonsense." Xu Jinbei scolded, "No matter what you saw, if the Emperor asks, just pretend you don't know."
Lin Yanbei bitterly smiled, other than saying that he didn't know, what else could he say?
…
…
The Imperial Palace of Ding Du City was emitting a gloomy silence. This was very different from the Imperial Palace that was decorated with bright lanterns. There was no vitality at all and it was like a withered old man lingering on his last breath.
"So quiet." Shang'er said in a low voice. Furthermore, there wasn't even a single imperial guard to be seen. There were only a few palace servants walking around. This really didn't look like what a palace should look like.
"The layout of the Imperial Palace is pretty much the same. Let's go find the Fengyi Palace first." Ming Xi said in a low voice, "Beitang Yu has been captured and the Eldest Prince has disappeared. It would be abnormal if the Imperial Palace was filled with laughter. Don't look at how there seems to be no one, the Qian Family must be hiding in the shadows."
Shang'er said, "Could Empress Wang have already been killed by the Qian Family?"
"No." Ming Xi said, "The Qian Family wouldn't be so stupid. Moreover, Qian Danqing wouldn't kill Empress Wang."
Currently, the head of the Qian Family was Qian Danqing. When he went to chase after Beitang Yu, it could be seen that Qian Danqing had old feelings for Empress Wang. He wouldn't allow the Qian Family to kill Empress Wang.
Shang'er said, "The purple energy in this Imperial Palace is very faint."
It was almost completely gone. Originally, the purple energy in the Imperial Palace should be the densest. It seemed that the Beitang Family's luck had come to an end. It was unknown who would replace them.
"Beitang Yu's two sons are incompetent. It's normal for the purple energy to be faint." Ming Xi said lightly. Beitang Xuanwei's whereabouts were unknown, and Beitang Xuanyang had been devoured by a corpse eating beast. In the future, even if the corpse eating beast came out of his body, he would definitely be delirious. How could he be the Emperor?
"So strange!" Shang'er said in a low voice. "Besides the purple energy, there seems to be a strange aura."
That aura was suppressed by the purple energy. She had to work very hard to feel a faint fluctuation.
"What's wrong?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing. It's hard to say now. We'll talk about it after we save them." Shang'er said. She couldn't tell where that aura came from.
Ming Xi held Shang'er's hand as they walked along the dark corner. On the way, they saw a few palace guards patrolling, but they all avoided them.
The Imperial Palace of the Darknorth Kingdom was similar to the Imperial Palace of the Jin Kingdom. Ming Xi quickly found the Fengyi Palace. The situation here was different from other places. There were three layers of guards inside and outside. It seemed that the Qian Family kept a close eye on Empress Wang.
"There are a lot of people here." Shang'er and Ming Xi were lying on the roof. They couldn't see the situation in the inner hall. The entire Fengyi Palace was surrounded.
"En, we can go in invisibly." Ming Xi said in a low voice. "Empress Wang should be inside."
Shang'er asked, "Then how do we save her?"
She and Ming Xi could go in invisibly, but it wouldn't be so easy to save Empress Wang.
"Let's go in and see what's going on." Ming Xi said. He held Shang'er's hand and landed on the ground. They used their spiritual power to hide themselves, so the guards couldn't see them.
There were palace maids going in and out of the inner hall, holding trays in their hands. The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
The smell of this medicine didn't seem right … it seemed to have been added with datura.
Was it poison?
Ming Xi frowned and entered the inner hall with Shang'er.
There weren't many people in the Fengyi Palace. There were only two palace maids serving in the sleeping quarters. One of them was holding candied plums for Empress Wang to eat.
"That's Empress Wang …" Shang'er looked at Ming Xi silently.
The woman lying on the bed looked haggard. Although she wasn't devastatingly beautiful, she had beautiful features. Even though her complexion wasn't good, she still exuded an elegant temperament.
"I'm not eating anymore," Empress Wang said in a low voice. "All of you can leave."
"Your Highness, this servant will stay here to watch over you," the palace maid said in a low voice.
Empress Wang frowned impatiently. "With all of you here, ben gong won't be able to sleep well."
The two palace maids looked at each other. "Then this servant will stand guard outside. If Your Highness has any instructions, please call this servant."
"Leave." Empress Wang's voice was slightly cold.
After the two palace maids left, Ming Xi was about to speak when he saw Empress Wang quickly get off the bed. She leaned over the copper basin and dug at her throat, silently vomiting.
She had to vomit out the medicine she had just drunk. There was definitely something wrong with the medicine sent by the Qian Family!
