Chapter 144 - Change Of Tide (3)
"I don"t have the guts," Mo Yingyue quickly said. If these words reached the crown prince"s ears, she would…
"That"s true. The crown prince is a jealous lover." Leng Ruoxue expressed her understanding and sympathy.
"Ruoxue, almost all the preparations are done." Mo Yingyue glared at Leng Ruoxue gently and sat down beside her. She went straight to the point. In the past half month, they had made thorough preparations. Moreover, the hottest news in Phoenix City now was probably related to the imperial family. Alas!
"Okay, let"s do it tonight!" Leng Ruoxue nodded, finally deciding on the time.
"Tonight? Why the rush?" Mo Yingyue was puzzled..
"There"s no better time than today. Today is a good day," Leng Ruoxue said somewhat charlatan-like. Tonight, I will avenge the death of the Silly Ruoxue. Hmph! As for Xu Na"er? She"s next!
"Alright, I"ll listen to you. I"ll go back and prepare first," Mo Yingyue said as she stood up.
"I"ll see Big Sister Mo out," Leng Ruoxue said as she also stood up.
"No need. We"re sisters. There"s no need to be so polite," Mo Yingyue quickly said.
Leng Ruoxue didn"t stand on ceremony after hearing Mo Yingyue"s words. She looked at Feng Mo. "Then Big Brother Feng, help me send Big Sister Mo off!"
She still had a good impression of Mo Yingyue. Moreover, Mo Yingyue wanted to befriend her wholeheartedly.
"Freak, let"s go to the palace to play tonight." Leng Ruoxue then looked at Charm and Dazzle hesitantly.
"Master, I want to go too," Dazzle yelled, unwilling to be left out.
"Master, let him accompany you. I will stay to protect the general"s mansion," Charm said very sensibly.
"Alright then!" Seeing Charm being so understanding, Leng Ruoxue cherished him even more. In fact, she knew that Charm was always giving in to Dazzle because Charm felt that the fox race owed Dazzle. Alas! What a little fool.
…
In the middle of the night, Leng Ruoxue and Freak sneaked into the palace. At this time, everyone was sleeping soundly, and there were only routine guards and maidservants on night watch. But these people had long been bribed by the empress, so they turned a blind eye when they saw her and Freak swaggering into the palace.
"Ruoxue, here." Mo Yingyue was waiting for them outside the Phoenix Algae Palace.
"Big Sister Mo, let"s begin!" Leng Ruoxue said directly after seeing Mo Yingyue.
"Okay, Ruoxue. Let"s split up." Mo Yingyue nodded.
"Remember to leave the seventh prince for me," Leng Ruoxue reminded before taking action.
"Don"t worry. He"s yours," Mo Yingyue promised. The poor seventh prince was going to be in trouble. She knew that Leng Ruoxue would never let him off easily.
Leng Ruoxue and Freak arrived at the emperor"s sleeping chamber. Apart from the guards at the door, there were no eunuchs or maidservants in the room.
This emperor sure is gutsy. Isn"t he afraid that someone will come and kill him? Or is he too confident in his secret guards? Unfortunately, his secret guards have already gone to see their ancestors, Leng Ruo thought as they walked into the inner hall.
"Don"t look!" Freak hurriedly covered Leng Ruoxue"s eyes with his hands.
"Freak, what are you doing?" Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement. What"s wrong with him?
"Xue"er, don"t open your eyes. You will get a stye if you look."
Leng Ruoxue removed Freak"s hands covering her eyes and glared at him before turning her gaze to the bed.
"Tch! Isn"t it just a few naked people!" Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly while looking at Freak in disdain. This emperor is really perverted. It"s actually a foursome. But can he still perform? Didn"t Freak drug him?
"Xue"er, his figure isn"t good," Freak said aggrievedly, his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears.
"Wake him up!" Leng Ruoxue ignored his pitiful appearance. Business was more important. She handed him a black scarf and covered her face with one, revealing only her beautiful eyes. Hehe! It"s important to create an atmosphere.
"Okay." Freak wrapped the scarf around his head, stretched out his hand, and gently released a tread of spiritual power at the emperor"s body.
"Who are you? Guards!" Emperor Li Xun opened his eyes and yelled when he saw the two masked people by the bed. But his voice was immediately cut off by Leng Ruoxue.
"We"re here to negotiate a deal with you. Don"t be afraid. As long as you behave, we won"t kill you," Leng Ruoxue comforted kindly.
"What deal?" Li Xun said with his eyes. The might exuded by these two people was too strong. Even though he was an elementary Spiritual Sovereign, he was a little scared, so he didn"t dare to act rashly.
"I won"t kill you as long as you write an edict to abdicate now and pa.s.s the throne to the crown prince." As for whether the crown prince would kill him or not, she didn"t care.
"Don"t even think about it," Li Xun"s angry eyes said no.
"Then die!" Leng Ruoxue got a knife from who knows where and slashed at Li Xun.
"No! I"ll write! I"ll write!" Li Xun said with his eyes. He was very afraid of death and had no choice but to give in. He, a mighty Spiritual Sovereign, actually met a day when he was forced like this. He really hated it!
"Good boy." Leng Ruoxue threw him a scroll and a writing brush.
Li Xun picked up the writing brush with a trembling hand and was just about to write the first word when Leng Ruoxue stopped him.
"Stop shaking!" Leng Ruoxue glared at Li Xun in displeasure. d.a.m.n emperor, you asked for it. Originally, she didn"t even want to deal with Li Xun.
"Okay, okay." Li Xun, who couldn"t speak, nodded non-stop. He composed himself and then slowly wrote the edict.
After Li Xun finished writing the edict, Leng Ruoxue checked and confirmed that there was no mistake. Then she threw a pill into his mouth.
"Crown Prince, you can come in now," Leng Ruoxue said softly when she heard the footsteps outside.
"Imperial Father, I"ve wronged you." At this moment, a handsome man in a bright yellow dragon robe walked in with large strides and took the edict from Leng Ruoxue.
"Thank you!" Crown Prince Li Yuan ignored Li Xun"s angry gaze and spoke to Leng Ruoxue and Freak.
"There"s no need to thank me. Just remember not to have any designs on me," Leng Ruoxue said lightly. Li Yuan was quite perceptive and smart. His apt.i.tude might not be as good as Li Yu"s, but he was more suitable to be emperor than him.
