C191 (2/2)
However, just as she walked to the door, she was caught by a guard guarding the door. She didn't wait for her to ask clearly before being escorted towards the direction of the Setting Sun Hall.
Nangong Xuan's residence?
What was Qin Cangming trying to do?
Seeing that the entire imperial palace was deserted, a gust of cold wind blew past. A few withered leaves quietly fell down, just like how she was now, at a loss and desolated.
She tried to escape, but she didn't know what method Qin Cangming used. She was actually completely powerless, and in addition to the excessive amount of blood she had bled in the past few days, she had only taken a few steps when she felt a wave of dizziness.
After a long while, Bai Zhixi finally arrived at the place where Nangong Xuan resided, the Setting Sun Hall, after walking for a long time and sweating profusely.
Raising his head, he saw that Zi Li, Hong Dan and Cheng Shuang were all tied to a piece of wood, and underneath the barrel, there was a bonfire set up.
Was Qin Cangming trying to burn them alive?
Bai Zhixi tried to make sense of the situation with Zi Li, causing her delicate and pretty face to be covered in blood, and her eyes to tear up.
Obviously, they had just experienced a fierce battle, so why didn't she feel anything?
Bai Zhixi had yet to organize her thoughts, but she was already tied to a log by the soldier, causing her to be unable to breathe due to the scorching heat of the flames.
”Men, bet Holy Maiden on me!”
Prime Minister Qin's low voice came out, only to see Gu Yinuo with his hair in a mess, his hands and feet tied up with a leg chain, his clothes tattered and tattered, with traces of blood stained.
At this moment, her eyes were dull, her face expressionless. She was being dragged up by someone as if she was on her last breath and tied to a piece of wood like her.
Bai Zhixi's tears were finally flowing out, blurring her vision.
What had happened?
Why did her people become like this overnight?
”Your Highness, it should be easy to use! You must have slept for three days and three nights. You don't even know about such a major matter as a 'coup', but you have truly helped this Prime Minister! ”
Qin Cang Ming stepped out from within the group of officials. His ordinary face carried a distinct edge of coldness and his pitch black eyes flashed as if he was a hunter looking for something. A cold light flashed past his eyes as he stared at Bai Zhixi.
You dare to infiltrate the palace right under his nose? Your father has been rendered unconscious by him, so how can I not deal with these two little bastards?
From the moment Nangong Xuan stepped into the palace, he had witnessed every single one of their actions.
If they were meant to do what they did today, he would not kill them all.
It was all their fault. If they could awaken Nangong Xuanyi just like that, wouldn't his painstakingly planned plan come to naught?
While Nangong Xuanyin was unconscious, he had won over everyone's hearts. The power in this would go to waste, he would definitely not allow this to happen.
”Prime Minister Qin has finally revealed his fox tail. He no longer has to hide his head or hide his tail. However, it seemed that this princess, a woman, was unable to obstruct the Prime Minister's path. Prime Minister Qin can release this princess and I will definitely leave this place. I will not stop the Prime Minister from doing great things. ”
Bai Zhixi restrained the coldness on his face and forced out a smile.
As the sunlight shone down, her eyes burned with a raging fire under her long eyelashes. A weak cluster of fire jumped about in her eyes, as if it could burn at any time.
”Far from home? Your Highness sure knows how to joke around. This prime minister is not a Phoenixis Maiden, so I will definitely not give the opponent any chances.
Prime Minister Qin walked in front of Bai Zhixi with a smile and said with a calm voice.
How could Qin Cang Ming, who had been an official for dozens of years, not know about the little scheme that Bai Zhixi was scheming in his heart?
”Is that so? It seems that the Prime Minister has the same temper as this princess. I wonder what the Prime Minister intends by tying this princess up here and not punishing me? ”
Since his face was torn, Bai Zhixi immediately dropped his smile that was as warm as fresh water.
The decisiveness of being the heir to the Phoenixis Maiden, the aura of looking down on the world, instantly returned. With an imposing aura that shot like a rainbow, the entire palace was filled with majesty, causing people to unconsciously submit and respect her, not daring to underestimate this seemingly frail woman.
”Your Highness, don't worry. This prime minister is waiting for a single person. Perhaps he can save your life, and even the entire common people of Southern Frontier. Crown Prince, this old subject knows that you are right here. As long as you hand over the Southern Frontier's jade seal, this old subject will let go of your beautiful little sister and these charming maidservant. It had been a long time since the soldiers on the frontlines had tasted a woman. If they were thrown to that place where they ate people without spitting out their bones … Tsk tsk, I can't bear to think about it. ”
Qin Cangming took a step forward, and tightly gripped Bai Zhixi's lower jaw. His gaze continuously swept the surrounding area, as if Nangong Xuan was hidden there.
”Bastard, what are you biting so hard for? If you want to kill me, I'll cut you up. As for your impractical thoughts, it would be better to leave them to the ears of others. ”Ladies and gentlemen, if anyone captures Old Thief Qin, this princess guarantees that the emperor will advance to the next rank when he wakes up and will never go back on his word.”
Bai Zhixi spat at Prime Minister Qin, and anxiously promised the Minister who was standing by the side.
However, no matter how painstakingly she tried to persuade him, all of the ministers coldly watched on from the sidelines. Not a single one stood up, and no one dared to reply.
However, it was not the worst outcome for them to not see Minister Zhao and his subordinates.
