Ye Zhen couldn't believe that Murong Ke died like this. Didn't he say he would die in three days? How could he not have a heartbeat?
"Empress, are you all right?" Shen Yi asked worriedly when he saw Ye Zhen's pale face.
"I'm all right." Ye Zhen looked at the carriage that had gone away. She knew that even if she forced Murong Ke to stay, Teng Ye would not agree. Maybe they would fight to the death.
Hong Ying and Jianjia looked at each other. They also felt very sad about Murong Ke's misfortune. Along the way, they all knew who Murong Ke was thinking about. It was a pity that his deep love and infatuation were doomed to be unrequited. The person he liked was the Empress.
Now that he was dead, perhaps it was a kind of relief.
"Go back." Ye Zhen couldn't control her tears. She didn't want to cry. She didn't believe that Murong Ke was really dead. He would wake up.
Ye Zhen entered the house and asked Hong Ying and Jianjia to wait outside. She couldn't help but shed tears. For Murong Ke, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
She entered the space and found the fire phoenix directly. "Didn't you say that as long as Murong Ke wakes up in three days, he will not die? How did he die?"
The fire phoenix was drinking water and was almost choked by Ye Zhen's roar. "What death? Who died?"
Ye Zhen said angrily, "Murong Ke has been sleeping since he ate your feathers. Didn't you say that he would be fine when he wakes up in three days? It hasn't even been three days. Why doesn't he have a heartbeat?"
"Isn't it normal to have no heartbeat?" cried the fire phoenix. "It hasn't been three days yet. If there is no heartbeat in half a day, you can cry again."
"Do you believe that I will pull out all your feathers?" Ye Zhen gritted her teeth.
The fire phoenix jumped a few steps away. "His body has been eaten up by insects. It's already good to wake up in three days. Even if there is no heartbeat, it doesn't mean he is dead."
When Ye Zhen heard the little bird's words, she couldn't help but feel a little hopeful, but when she thought that Murong Ke had now been taken away by Teng Ye, she sighed dejectedly. "Murong Ke has been taken away. It's too late for me to drink spirit spring water for him."
"He is a mortal. You have fed him a lot of spirit spring water in the past few days. If you feed him any more, he will die." The fire phoenix said lazily.
Ye Zhen glared at it. "I'll believe you again."
The Fire Phoenix's golden eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. "Someone is coming. This person's entire body is covered in black Qi. You have to be careful of him."
"What?" Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. Before she could ask who it was, she had been driven out of the space by the fire phoenix.
Just as she opened her eyes, she heard the sounds of fighting coming from outside.
She hurriedly got up to open the door and saw Hong Ying and Jianjia running towards her.
"What happened?" Ye Zhen asked hurriedly.
Hong Ying panted as she said, "Your Highness, I don't know how Lu Lingzhi found out that we were here, but he has already surrounded this place."
Jianjia said angrily, "Could it be that Teng Ye betrayed us?"
"It can't be him. They just left not long ago. There was no time to inform Lu Lingzhi." Ye Zhen's face was calm. "How many people did Lu Lingzhi bring?"
"We don't know yet. Shen Yi and the others are fighting with Lu Lingzhi. Your Highness, we will escort you out of here." Hong Ying said.
Ye Zhen secretly thought that Teng Ye insisted on leaving today because he knew that Lu Lingzhi was coming. But then she denied this speculation. She felt that Teng Ye would not take the initiative to find Lu Lingzhi, but who else knew that she was here except Teng Ye?
"Your Highness, there is a cellar in the back. The cellar leads to the vegetable garden in the back. Let's leave from there." Jianjia said.
"Mmm." Ye Zhen nodded and walked to the cellar with Hong Ying and the others.
Lu Lingzhi, who was fighting with Shen Yi in front, appeared calm and composed. His skills were originally above Shen Yi's, but because he was poisoned and crippled by Mo Rongzhan once, although he was not as strong as before, dealing with one or two secret guards was not a problem.
This time, he was well prepared to come here. He must find Ye Zhen.
"Where is your Empress?" Lu Lingzhi asked Shen Yi.
"Lu Lingzhi, you traitor! How dare you appear here?" Shen Yi asked angrily and ordered the other shadow guards to catch him.
"Why wouldn't I dare to appear here? You failed to protect the Empress. I came to rescue her. Isn't this a very honorable thing?" Lu Lingzhi said with a smile.
Shen Yi clenched the sword in his hand. He knew that Lu Lingzhi had come for the Empress, hoping that Hong Ying and Jianjia had already taken her away. "Is that so? Let's see if you have the ability."
Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly. "It's not that I want to fight with you. You are not worthy to be my opponent."
"What do you mean?" Shen Yi asked angrily.
"Guan Jie, this man is the Lord of the Jin Kingdom's shadow guards. Entertain him well." Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly and said to Shen Yi, "This is the best warrior in Western Liang. Shen Yi, you beat him and then come to me to save your Empress."
Shen Yi was shocked. Listening to Lu Lingzhi's words, it seemed that he had already caught the Empress!
At the moment when he was lost in thought, Guan Jie, who looked like a child, had already raised his broadsword and slashed at him.
He narrowly avoided it, only to see that the child had smashed a hole in the ground.
What great strength!
Shen Yi looked at Guan Jie in shock. The child looked young and tender, at most thirteen or fourteen years old. How could he be so strong?
He did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He went all out to fight with Guan Jie. At the same time, he did not forget to tell the others, "Go and save the Empress."
Lu Lingzhi just looked at him sarcastically and turned away.
Since he was sure that Ye Zhen was here, how could he miss the opportunity again?
This time, he would not hand her over to anyone else.
On the other side, Hong Ying had already taken Ye Zhen through the secret passage in the cellar. As soon as she found the exit, she looked overjoyed. "Empress, here we are."
The exit of the tunnel was a wooden door covered with a layer of mud. Hong Ying and Jianjia pushed the door open with great force.
"Empress, we meet again." Ye Zhen had just left the tunnel when a familiar voice came from behind her.
Ye Zhen turned around calmly and looked at Qian Xue who stood not far away and sneered.
Sure enough, it was her. Ye Zhen was not surprised. If Teng Ye did not betray her, then the only person who knew this place was Qian Xue.
"Although I expected it to be you, I didn't expect you to betray even Murong Ke." Ye Zhen said lightly.
Qian Xue's eyes burst with strong hatred. "Don't think that I don't know that the Pavilion Master has already died to save you. Lu Yaoyao, you also have this day!"
"Want to kill me?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
"I can't wait to cut you into pieces!" Qian Xue walked towards Ye Zhen step by step. She betrayed Qian Luosha for no other reason than to kill Lu Yaoyao with her own hands.
