Having experienced what just happened,
No matter how passionate or proud,
They should also know what words they can say and what actions they can take.
The people who spoke realized something was wrong and prepared to quietly slip away.
However, there are people all around, so it's not so easy to leave now.
"Arrest these people and take them back for interrogation!"
A Northern Qi official angrily retorted.
Seeing this, the group of people expressionlessly bit something open.
The next second, they all turned pale and died, bleeding from all seven orifices.
Upon seeing this, the Northern Qi official's expression changed drastically.
Death warrior!
Today's events were indeed deliberately provoked by someone.
the other side,
Zhan Doudou, with her somewhat clumsy driving skills,
He led Li Chengqian all the way to the Northern Qi imperial palace.
Si Lili was recently brought back to the palace.
She felt that if Si Lili were to step in, it might be able to quell some of the other party's anger.
At this moment, behind the carriage,
A group of imperial guards from the Northern Qi palace followed behind with grim expressions.
His eyes held both anger and fear.
They and DouDou went out of Palace 29119 together.
But in the end, they could only watch helplessly as their emperor became a lowly stable boy.
How could they not be angry?
However, even the most powerful among them, the palace commander whose martial arts realm had reached the ninth rank, was...
At this moment, all we can do is watch from the sidelines; there's nothing we can do.
Just now, when Li Chengqian pressed his sword against the capital,
He didn't even have the right to get close, so how could he dare to make a move now?
Moreover, judging from the formation just now,
Even if tens of thousands of imperial guards from the capital were gathered here, could they really do anything to the enemy?
If he could, why would the emperor stoop so low as to become a stable boy?
Therefore, he could only restrain himself and turn away the crowds along the way.
We should try our best to minimize the impact of this matter.
Inside the carriage, Li Chengqian soon heard the system notification that the mission had been successful.
It seems his actions have been recognized by the system.
This gave him another chance to participate in the lottery.
However, now is not the time for a lottery.
Because Zhan Doudou's voice had already sounded.
"Your Highness, the carriage cannot proceed further due to the stone steps ahead. May we disembark and travel together?"
Li Chengqian gave a faint reply and got off the carriage.
He glanced back at the ninth-rank commander, who was filled with resentment and anger.
I don't like that expression of yours.
After saying that, he turned his head and took a step forward.
The ground seemed to tremble as this step was taken.
The commander felt a sudden tightness in his heart, and then with a "poof," he spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground, his breath waning.
Although his life was not in danger
However, the dantian within his body was shattered in that instant.
In other words, from then on,
He can only be an ordinary person whose martial arts cultivation has been crippled.
The surrounding imperial guards all paled.
However, Li Chengqian's miraculous methods deterred any of them from taking any rash action.
Zhan Doudou's expression also began to falter, changing slightly.
But he didn't say anything.
He remained silent and followed Li Chengqian up the stone steps.
The two continued on their journey and eventually arrived at a grand hall called Qionghua.
The hall had been prepared in advance.
The room was decorated in a magnificent style, with melodious music playing and graceful dancers dancing.
The whole scene was one of peace and prosperity.
Li Chengqian stepped into the Qionghua Palace and remarked with slight admiration, "Your Majesty has put a lot of effort into this."
Zhan Doudou's expression had returned to calm, and she smiled and said, "With such distinguished guests at our door, we naturally cannot be negligent."
Inside the hall, Si Lili greeted them respectfully.
On that extremely charming face,
Although she wore a bright smile, she couldn't hide the complex emotions in her expression.
Li Chengqian stepped forward, took Si Lili's hand, and said with a smile, "Long time no see."
Si Lili stared blankly at Li Chengqian, her lips moving slightly, but she didn't utter a word.
Li Chengqian suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Zhan Doudou. "I heard that Lili is His Majesty's confidante, and they have a very good relationship. Is His Majesty considering taking her as a concubine?"
Zhan Doudou's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said,
"It's all rumors. Si Lili and I grew up together since childhood and are like siblings. How could I have such delusions?"
Li Chengqian gave a soft "oh," and said, "We're like siblings, right? Then Your Majesty must know about my relationship with Lili. So, does that mean Your Majesty and I are brothers?"
Zhan Doudou forced a smile and said, "If that's the case, it would naturally be my honor."
Li Chengqian held Si Lili's hand with one hand and put his other arm around Zhan Doudou's shoulder. "Then why doesn't Your Majesty call me 'Big Brother'?"
Zhan Doudou froze, this was truly the first time in her life she had ever been held like this by a man.
My mind went blank for a moment.
Si Lili noticed Zhan Doudou's embarrassment.
She also knew Zhan Doudou's true gender.
So she gently tugged at Li Chengqian's sleeve, "Your Highness, why don't you sit down and try some of the delicacies of the capital?"
Li Chengqian smiled, too lazy to bully the young emperor disguised as a man.
He let go of her hand and then led her towards the head of the main hall.
Judging from his casual demeanor, he seems to be back at home.
However, after taking only a couple of steps, Li Chengqian's expression shifted slightly. "Oh? Spikenard, quite a fine taste!"
For these things,
He, possessing god-like medical skills, was naturally no stranger to him.
However, his sudden attention wasn't because there was anything special about this spikenard.
Instead, the incense that was burned earlier was clearly styrax.
But it must have been only recently that it was suddenly replaced by spikenard.
At this moment, he could still faintly smell a few traces of styrax.
Si Lili was somewhat confused and was about to speak when
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness washed over me, and everything went black.
As his chest heaved with blood and qi, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
The blood, when it fell to the ground, immediately became like strong acid, exhibiting astonishing corrosiveness.
The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her heart and instantly lost consciousness.
Li Chengqian's expression changed, and he instantly realized that Si Lili had been poisoned by an extremely potent and domineering poison.
He immediately used his immense inner energy to forcefully seal off the poison erupting within Si Lili's body.
But it could not expel the deadly poison from her body.
Because this deadly poison had already penetrated deep into Si Lili's internal organs.
Forcibly expelling the poison with internal energy will only hasten Si Lili's death.
At this moment, he could only use his own internal energy to suppress the poison and maintain Si Lili's life.
Even more so, once he disperses his true energy,
With such potent toxins in Si Lili's body, she would likely die instantly.
"Bring me a set of silver needles, as quickly as possible!"
He suddenly looked up, his gaze icy as he looked at Zhan Doudou.
