C31 (1/2)

The copper ball rolled on the floor for two rounds before suddenly exploding. In an instant, flames shot into the sky and even the table behind Zhou Leping was blown away, and some unknown mess smashed onto her back.

Zhu Guanliang opened his eyes from within her embrace and heard her groan. His gaze naturally fell on her chest.

He was wrong, he shouldn't have said that to her last time. After all, she was a woman, small to small, but better than nothing.

After the explosion, Zhou Leping released Zhu Guanliang and was about to shout for Zhao Deng to catch him, but when he turned his head, he saw the Zither Master's corpse that was blown into pieces.

She wanted to laugh. ”Idiot!”

They had perished together, but who would have thought that they would be blown to death in the end.

Zhao Deng crawled up from the ground and dusted off his body. He accidentally saw the Zither Master's corpse and quickly hid behind Zhou Leping, covering his eyes. ”Dead?”

”Dead beyond words.”

”Someone come!” Someone! Where's the butler? Where are the people who died? ”

The butler arrived late with a group of guards, causing Zhao Deng to be so angry that he kicked him until he tumbled to the ground, ”Are all of you dead? This King was almost blown to death before you came? Do you want to see This King rise to the heavens? ”

The butler kneeled down and admitted his wrongs, causing Zhao Deng to take a deep breath. His hand trembled as he pointed at the corpse on the ground, ”What are you doing? Hurry up and deal with it. This King doesn't want to see blood and gore, right? ”

He then instructed the guards at the side, ”Go and investigate these two people's identities and their companions for this king!”

”Wait …” Zhou Leping went over to help Zhu Guanliang up, ”Go find a doctor.”

Zhu Guanliang was much taller than her, and although she looked thin, she had a lot of weight to her. She had the strength to carry him, but with the height gap, it would be difficult to do anything, so she could only call two guards to carry him down.

Zhao Deng was covered in dirt as he apologized to her, ”I'm sorry, I was careless with the assassination, you're not hurt, right?”

Zhou Leping waved his hand, ”It's not your fault, the person they want to kill is me, speaking of this, I have implicated you.”

”How can that be? If I didn't bring the people back, they wouldn't have had the chance to make a move.”

”It's too late to say anything now. The most important thing right now is to find out their identities. I don't mind. If I were to find the Emperor's side …” The consequences are unimaginable. ”

”The palace is not that easy to enter. Don't worry, the emperor has his imperial bodyguards, and the imperial bodyguard is the empress's younger brother. The empress loves the emperor so much, so she definitely won't let anything happen to the emperor.”

Zhou Leping spread out his palm and looked at the wound in his palm, lost in thought. ”From what you're saying, why does it sound like the Empress is taking control of the Emperor?”

”It's not like that, it's just that, you should have figured it out after so many days, right? The Queen's father is the Grand Hall Master, he ordered Lin Jing to be on the platform, the little brother is the imperial guard, the uncle is the president of the Supreme Court, the whole family has taken up most of the space, Royal Brother looks impressive, but the situation is not so good!”

”This time, the disarmament was instigated by Lin Jing. He's used to covering the sky with one hand and would absolutely not allow anyone to eat from his mouth. Your return is the greatest threat to him.”

She pulled out a few pieces of broken porcelain from her palm and clenched them tightly. The haze that had hung over the past few days instantly cleared up.

She seemed to have understood what Zhao Shiqian meant by ”even you want to go against me”. She had never wanted to admit it, but she had to admit it now, she was not as free and easy as she said.

Because he had a grudge, he didn't think about the meaning behind his words.

Zhao Deng said, ”I always thought you understood.”
