Not even bothering to eat, Su Tong stood up and walked out.
"Princess, where are you?" Xiao Lu was stunned, and quickly followed out, grabbing Su Tong's clothes, "It's getting dark outside, don't you need dinner?"
"No need." Su Tong waved her hand anxiously, "I will go into the palace to find the prince."
"The prince has been gone for a while." Xiao Lu followed anxiously and continued to explain behind Su Tong, "I guess he has entered the palace by now. How can you go in alone? It is said that the emperor is critically ill.
The palace is heavily guarded..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Tong couldn't help but pause in her steps - yes, it was definitely impossible for her to break into the palace alone! Moreover, at midnight tonight, she had to go to the western suburbs...
"Princess, don't worry, the prince is just going to have a look, nothing will happen to you." Xiao Lu didn't understand the complicated relationship inside, so she thought Su Tong was worried about Xuanyuan Hao, so she persuaded her from the side.
"Yes." Nodding, Su Tong walked back with a solemn expression, and gave a faint order, "Xiaolu, you don't need to wait here anymore, I can do it alone."
"Yes." Xiao Lu responded and immediately retreated.
"Huo'er..." Seeing Xiao Lu's back disappear from sight, Su Tong looked towards the corner and met those red eyes, "How about we make a bet when the time comes?"
*******************************
The sun sets over the west mountain, and the night sweeps over like a blanket.
In a restaurant near the western suburbs, a man was looking at the bright moon outside the window in a trance. A corner of his snow-colored cloak hung on the ground, fluttering in the wind.
The clear moonlight shone on his strong and handsome profile, adding a touch of softness to him.
"Honored Lord." Yan Lei came in and stood respectfully behind him.
"Yes." In response, Yan Luo slowly picked up the teacup he was following, took a sip, and then said calmly, "What's the matter?"
"I just got the news from the palace that the emperor is critically ill." Yan Lei blurted out, hesitated for a moment, and then said his guess, "I guess the second prince is waiting for an opportunity to usurp the throne. In this case, after two days of sacrifice..."
The sacrifice will definitely be cancelled.
"I know." Yan Luo nodded, put down the cup in his hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes - if the emperor died, then the sacrifices and prayers would be delayed.
And if he wanted something like that in the imperial mausoleum, he could only wait until Xuanyuan Jin succeeded to the throne and the emperor was buried. I'm afraid it would have to be delayed for a long time...
He has never been a person who likes trouble and waiting.
"You go to the western suburbs and follow my instructions and bring me people here." After pondering for a moment, Yan Luo said calmly and gave instructions. He finally got up and walked slowly towards the door, "I want to go to the palace.
"
At least, the emperor can't be allowed to die yet.
****
There is nothing that can estimate the time, but looking at the bright moon that has not yet moved to the center, Su Tong guessed that there should still be some time before the ion phase, right?
"Alas..." With a sigh, Su Tong wandered around the open ground in the western suburbs, and finally chose a place with hay to sit down. Then he put down the wolf fox in his hand, "Huo'er, that Demon Lord will be there soon."
When we come here, we must find a way to capture him, and then let him take us into the palace..."
She would definitely not be able to get in with her own strength, but she believed that Yan Luo could definitely do it. Because the last time she hypnotized herself, she saw the image of meeting Yan Luo in the palace, which made her even more sure of his fate.
ability.
She could only give it a try and give it a try...
The night is getting darker and darker, and the surroundings are quiet. Only the wind blowing through the grass makes a small "rustling" sound, which makes people feel a little scared.
Su Tong hugged Huo'er next to her, feeling a little more secure in her heart. And because she hadn't slept well for several days, she hugged Huo'er so warmly that she fell asleep on the grass in a daze.
…
Zi Shi.
Two figures, one black and one white, stopped next to her and glanced at the sleeping Su Tong. The ghostly black and white figures made people feel chilly.
"Go!" Yan Lei, who was dressed in black, pushed Yixue next to him and urged.
Yixue's face was full of displeasure. When Yan Lei pushed her, she couldn't help but turn around and glare at him fiercely.
"Since the Lord has accepted her as his disciple, she is our Young Master. This is the rule." Yan Lei's voice dropped and he spoke slowly.
Although he had doubts about this matter, the Lord was the Lord after all, and as a subordinate, he could only obey absolutely.
Yixue curled her lips, a trace of unwillingness flashed across her beautiful face, but she still walked towards Su Tong and wanted to pull her up, but Huo'er in her arms suddenly woke up and rushed towards her direction instantly -
—
"Ah!" Even though Yixue was a highly skilled martial artist, she had never been attacked at such a close range. She exclaimed and took a few steps back to avoid Huo'er's attack.
Looking at Huo'er's red eyes and long fangs, she couldn't help but feel numb - what kind of creature is this?
Su Tong also woke up at the same time, and was stunned when she saw the two figures in front of her - Hey, why aren't they Demon Lords?! They... seemed to have seen them in the image of the palace that night.
"Young Master! Please come with us." It was Yan Lei who recognized the situation. Seeing Su Tong wake up, his attitude immediately changed to one of respect, and he spoke in a loud voice...
