Niu Zhidao: "The palace door is always closed. We don't know what is going on inside, but they kidnapped the emperor in order to threaten His Highness the Night King. They should not act rashly.'
"Do you know how many people are inside? Who are they?"
"There are not many people. The total number of master and servants is less than ten. However, there is an extremely skilled man. General Wang and I can't match him even if we attack together."
Shen Yuyu nodded. Xia Luoluo had a large group of killers under his command. That top master must be the leader of the killers, so the matter was indeed very difficult.
Niu Zhi didn't say much, fearing that Shen Yu would be worried.
He only advised Shen Yuyu: "There's nothing going on inside right now. Why don't you go to the side hall to rest, and if anything happens, I'll go over and report it as soon as possible."
"Okay." Xia Luoluo looked at the tightly closed palace door, nodded, and then was supported by Jiang Yuyu and Ling'er into the side hall.
In the Jade Phoenix Palace, Xia Luoluo was almost completely awake, sitting at the table with her chin propped up, her eyes bloodshot.
The table was full of dishes, and they negotiated with the imperial chef to prepare them and bring them in.
"Your Highness Princess, let's have something to eat." Zhu Zhu handed over a pair of chopsticks, "There are a lot of things to do. Only when you are full can you have the strength to deal with them.'
Xia Luoluo took the chopsticks and had no appetite. She raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Qi Heng aside.
Emperor Qi Heng was tortured after being tied to the chair for so long. His head was tilted to the side weakly, and his expression was extremely exhausted.
Xia Luoluo scooped up a bowl of rice and some vegetables, dragged a chair and sat in front of Emperor Qi Heng.
"Untie his hands." Xia Luoluo ordered Liu Hao, and Liu Hao stepped forward and loosened Emperor Qi Heng's hands tied behind his back.
"Father, you must be hungry too, right? Want some rice to fill your stomach?" Xia Luoluo said and stretched out his bowl towards Emperor Qi Heng.
Emperor Qi Heng didn't even look at him. Although his spirit was a little weak, his majesty and momentum remained intact.
While moving his hands that were bruised and tied, he looked sharply at Xia Luoluo and spoke in a cold voice full of contempt.
"What a shrewd and wise person Emperor Jingyuan is? How could he raise such a stupid princess? She is greedy, shameless and vicious~~ Compared with Princess Ye, she is in the sky and on earth.'
"By the way, don't get it wrong. Princess Ye is in the sky and you are on the earth~~"
Xia Luoluo was so angry at these words that he almost lost his mind. He wished he could smash the bowl in his hand on Emperor Qi Heng's head.
What's so good about that 'idiot Shen' who grew up in the countryside? The Night King treats her as a treasure, and now Emperor Qi Heng exalts her to belittle himself. Is she capable of enchantment?
Thinking of this, Xia Luoluo's eyes suddenly turned sinister and she stood up.
"Take Emperor Qi Heng out and ask them to exchange her for Princess Ye. If she doesn't come, they will cut off a piece of Emperor Qi Heng's flesh every half-quarter of an hour, huh."
Emperor Qi Heng was immediately dumbfounded. His words just came from his heart. He did not expect that it would lead to such a result.
Phantom, however, did not agree with this decision and advised Charlotte: "Your Highness, please calm down. Princess Ye is just a woman. Compared with Emperor Qi Heng, I'm afraid she doesn't have that much weight. It's better not to be impulsive."
Xia Luoluo narrowed her eyes and said fiercely, "I heard that Princess Ye is pregnant. If her two lives are not worth Emperor Qi Heng's life in the eyes of King Ye, I am willing to be buried with her." She said. I only heard that Shen Yuyu was pregnant, but I didn't know that Shen Yuyu was pregnant with triplets.
"I would like to take a gamble right now to see how deep the Night King's love for Shen Yue is! Humph!"
Seeing that Charlotte's attitude was so determined, Phantom kept silent.
Besides, if a man loves a woman deeply, he will be willing to die for her, not to mention imperial power and wealth!
Thinking of this, the Phantom's eyes fell deeply on Xia Luoluo. When Xia Luoluo looked over, he hurriedly restrained his expression, and his eyes returned to indifference.
At this time, outside the palace, snow was falling from the sky, and it was freezing cold.
Fortunately, all the soldiers wore thick clothes and hats. Even though it was cold, they didn't cause any problems. They were all stamping their feet in place.
Niu Zhi rubbed his hands and paced back and forth uneasily, even though he was covered in snow, he had no time to care.
The appointed time is getting closer and closer, but His Highness the Night King still hasn't appeared, and I don't know where he is or whether he will be back in time.
Just as I was feeling anxious and uneasy, the palace door opened with a creaking sound, and everyone's eyes turned towards it.
Niu Zhixin suddenly tensed up and ran over there in a hurry.
At this time, the phantom held Emperor Qi Heng hostage and slowly came out of the palace. The sharp sword was placed on Emperor Qi Heng's neck with a cold light. It could take Emperor Qi Heng's life at any time, making people dare not act rashly.
Niu Zhi didn't even dare to get too close. The killer's skills were unfathomable, and he had to stay calm for the emperor's safety.
Xia Luoluo walked out with the support of Song Zhu, wearing a thick red fox cloak and a hood on her head. Her face was haggard but still charming and stunning.
However, in Niu Zhi's eyes, she was just a vicious beauty snake, completely different from Princess Ye, who was the truly admirable beauty.
After walking out of the palace door, Xia Luoluo stood still on the steps, glanced at the densely packed imperial guards outside who almost turned into snowmen, and finally looked at Niu Zhi with a half-smile.
"General Niu, the poison in your body has actually been restrained? Needless to say, my good sister must have entered the palace."
"She came just in time. Please call her over. I, the imperial sister, miss her very much."
Niu Zhi's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Princess Ye has left the palace."
Xia Luoluo interrupted sharply: "As soon as she leaves the palace, ask her to come in. Otherwise, it's not certain how many pieces of meat the emperor will lose."
As he said this, he winked at Phantom, who then took Emperor Qi Heng's hand and said in a cold voice:
"Your Highness, please chop off your hands first. Within half a quarter of an hour, Princess Ye will chop off one of her fingers."
Emperor Qi Heng was extremely regretful at this time, blaming himself for saying those words that irritated Xia Luoluo just now, which led to such a result that he did not want to see.
He hurriedly said loudly to Niu Zhi, "Don't listen to them. I will die as soon as I die. Don't be threatened by them."
Afraid that Emperor Qi Heng would say something unfavorable, Phantom quickly tapped his mute point.
Niu Zhi clenched his fists angrily, feeling extremely embarrassed.
On one side is the emperor, the father of His Highness the Night King, and on the other side is the Queen of the Night and her three children who are about to be born. Each of them is a person more important than the life of His Highness the Night King, and nothing should happen to anyone.
How should he choose?
At this time, Phantom grabbed Emperor Qi Heng's throat with his left hand and raised the sword high with his right hand.
"Why don't you go and invite him? Do you think I have to chop off his entire arm before he goes?"
Phantom was frightened, and after hesitation, she could only turn around and head to the side hall. Within two steps, she saw Jiang Yuyu and Ling'er helping Shen Yuyu come over.
"No need to explain, I heard it all." Shen Yuyu waved to Niu Zhi, who was mumbling and didn't know how to speak, and walked straight to the entrance of the palace to stand at a suitable distance.
"Xia Luoluo, I'm here, what do you want?"
Xia Luoluo suppressed the resentment in her heart and looked at Shen Yuyu.
This woman who stole her man, this woman who took away her father's love, this woman who is now trying to ruin her good deeds and prevent her from getting the world~~ No one knows how much she hates her!
Looking at Shen Yuyu, who was out of shape and had a huge belly, Xia Luoluo couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
How beautiful is she? He is thousands of times more beautiful than her. Is Huangfu Ran's eyes blind?
Look at how she looks now? No matter how beautiful her face is, her figure is out of shape. Will she not be disliked by the Night King?
Charlotte immediately rejected this idea.
No, the fact that a man like the Night King with a severe mysophobia is willing to have a child with a woman is enough to prove how high that woman is in his heart.
What's more, Shen Yue was still pregnant with his child. She didn't dare to say that Shen Yue was more important to the Night King than Emperor Qi Heng, but he was definitely more important than military power and imperial power!
Just as she was thinking about it, Phantom came towards her with a wicked smile.
"Your Highness, why do we need to exchange them? Wouldn't it be better if we both kidnapped them together?"
"If Princess Ye refuses, let Emperor Qi Heng perform the surgery, stamp her fingers, and cut the flesh~~"
"No." Xia Luoluo shook his head, with a hint of fear on his face, "Shen Yuyu is very skilled. We don't have enough manpower. If we can't stop him, it will be a bad thing."
The Phantom thought that this was indeed the case. The Night King was not that easy to deal with. It might be counterproductive to distract the energy of two people.
"Is there still an exchange?" Phantom asked.
"Exchange." There was a hint of ruthlessness in Xia Luoluo's eyes, and she said in a cold tone, "If we really lose the bet, I will definitely let Shen Yuyu and the Night King's child die miserably in my hands. Haha, this seems good!"
After saying this, Xia Luoluo raised his eyes to look at Shen Yuyu and said to her loudly:
"Nonsense, I'm too lazy to say more, Shen Yue. Come and replace the emperor. If you don't want to, humph." As he spoke, Phantom pulled Emperor Qi Heng's finger and tried to cut it.
"Okay, change." Shen Yuyu said without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, you can't." Niu Zhi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly protected Shen Yuyu behind him, "If you have something to do, how can you tell your subordinates to tell His Highness the Night King?
Jiang Yuyu was also so anxious that she didn't know what to do and hurriedly grabbed her.
"Cousin, you still have three children in your belly. This is really too dangerous."
"Trust me, I'll be fine." Shen Yuyu's eyes were calm. She knew that Xia Luoluo's cruelty could not be a joke, so she had to step forward knowing the danger.
Regardless of the Night King, Emperor Qi Heng loved her as much as his daughter. This alone would make it impossible for her to back down.
"Then let me go in with you." Jiang Yuyu and Ling'er said in unison.
"No one is allowed to take them with me." Charlotte glanced sideways at the two of them and said firmly.
This 'Jiang Guiren', at first thought that she was detoxing herself to make money, but later I found out that she had sinister intentions and wanted to drive a wedge between herself and 'Huangfu Xuanyuan'. It turned out that she had taken refuge with the Night King a long time ago, which was really hateful.
Although I also wanted to kill her, due to her status as a Gu Master, it was better not to let her come in and cause any trouble.
"I'll be fine, don't worry." Shen Yue glanced at everyone with a reassuring look, then walked over without hesitation, holding her belly in hand.
When she reached a suitable distance, Phantom let go of Emperor Qi Heng and rushed over, taking her hostage in his hands.
