Chapter 190 The Princess's Embroidered Robe Has Come to Life!!!
<>
Having made up his mind, Zhengze lightly touched the ground with his toes and jumped onto the longsword that had flown back at some unknown time. He made a hand seal, and the longsword soared into the air.
"Quick! Shoot him down!!"
General Wang immediately gave the order, and the wounded soldiers behind him hurriedly released their hands from their wounds and frantically pressed the triggers on their crossbows.
Zhengze frowned slightly. Faced with the crossbow bolts coming again, he had no choice but to take out a yellow talisman from his chest. The talisman ignited without wind, and a circular protective shield immediately appeared around Zhengze, protecting him.
The crossbow bolts struck it, their force silently dissipated, and they fell from the sky.
In an instant, the crowd below hurriedly took cover, and General Wang could only watch helplessly as Zhengze escaped.
Just as General Wang was gritting his teeth, feeling that he couldn't escape the Emperor's punishment, the red whip shadow that had previously swept away Yu Liu reappeared and struck the circular protective shield with a "crack"!
The formidable protective shield was instantly torn apart. Before Zhengze could react, he was struck in the chest and fell from the sky at an unprecedented speed.
The soaring sword also lost control and slowly descended under the influence of gravity.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the pitch-black sky. The person was dressed in white and was very conspicuous in the night. His left hand seemed to be holding something, and his right hand held a long red whip. Upon closer inspection, it was the very whip that had struck Zhengze.
The figure slowly descended from the sky, and the hearts of the soldiers below were in their throats, fearing that another powerful figure had arrived. When they could gradually see who it was, a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes.
"Lord Lan, you've finally arrived!!"
General Wang was the most excited; Lord Lan's arrival meant he wouldn't have to be punished.
Just as Zhengze was about to touch the ground, he endured the pain in his chest and quickly pulled out another talisman from his pocket. A faint light flashed, and a semi-circular crater appeared in the ground. Zhengze clutched his chest and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared with apprehension.
"Blue Madman, it's you?"
After saying that, he noticed the thing that Lan Ming was holding in his left arm. Wasn't that the moving piece of clothing that had just been suddenly pulled away?
"Hey! You lunatic, let go of that monster right now!!!"
The man called the madman slowly opened his eyes, his bloodshot pupils particularly terrifying in the darkness: "A junior member of the Li family?"
"Hey! Did you even hear me?!" Zhengze clutched his aching chest, his voice tinged with exasperation. "That's a monster!! A monster that will wreak havoc on the world in the future! You'd better kill it right now!!!"
After learning that the person who injured him was Blue Madman, Zhengze was no longer so worried about his life.
"Oh."
Yan Ning responded calmly, not only ignoring Zhengze's words but also gently stroking the collar of the embroidered dress in her arms.
Zhengze was immediately taken aback by his attitude, followed by a wave of helplessness: "Madman Lan, listen to me! You know the divination abilities of our Li family! If this monster isn't eliminated, the entire world will descend into chaos!! Wake up! Don't let a small matter cause a huge loss!!! Otherwise, no matter how high your cultivation level is, Heaven won't tolerate you!!!"
"My affairs are none of your business." Yan Ning glanced coldly at Zheng Ze, dismissing his words.
He lowered his head and looked at the embroidered clothes in his arms that were moving slightly: "Baby, wait a little longer. I'll finish taking care of things here soon. We can talk about it when we get back, okay?"
His blood-red eyes were filled with tenderness, and his whole being was incredibly gentle.
Looking at his expression, Zhengze immediately understood his attitude, and felt a surge of disappointment: "Crazy Lan, you'll get your comeuppance for doing this!!"
A hint of annoyance at being interrupted flashed in Yan Ning's eyes. Just as she was about to say something, another scream came from the princess's room!
"Ahhh-"
It was the palace maid who had fainted earlier.
The screams lasted only a few times before abruptly stopping.
Immediately following was the sound of hurried footsteps. A palace maid staggered out of the room, moving very fast, and aimed directly at the princess. The princess looked up and saw the maid's expression, and screamed in fright.
"Ah—my husband—save me—"
Seeing this, Zhengze swung his right hand, and the longsword that had fallen to the ground suddenly rushed towards the princess.
But it was too late. The palace maid rushed to the princess, her face contorted in a grotesque grimace. Just as everyone thought she was about to do something to the princess, she suddenly let out a roar—a roar that no longer sounded human, but rather like that of a venomous snake.
After the roar, the palace maid paused for a moment, and the next moment, blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
"Bam—"
The palace maid's entire body exploded from the inside, blasting her into pieces. Black mist permeated the flesh and blood, making her look eerie and evil.
"what--"
Faced with this horrifying scene, the princess's expression went blank, and she screamed involuntarily, her whole being acting like a madwoman.
"This……"
Zhengze stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his first instinct being to look at the jade willow in Yan Ning's arms.
Yu Liu was also quite frightened. Noticing his gaze, her embroidered robes trembled, and she hurriedly raised her sleeves, shaking them shakily, "No...it wasn't me..."
Zhengze glanced at Yuliu, then at the distraught princess, the dumbfounded imperial guards, and the shattered pieces of flesh scattered all over the ground, his expression somewhat dazed.
This... does not seem to be made from that piece of clothing...
Could it be that I made a mistake in my divination today?
Before Zhengze could figure it out, a sharp voice rang out from outside Zhu Fang Palace.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
The emperor, awakened by the commotion outside, finally arrived late.
"Minister Lan, have you caught the thief who trespassed into the inner palace?"
Even from a great distance, the emperor couldn't wait to ask.
"Your Majesty, over here..."
General Wang, realizing the situation, hurriedly tried to stop him, but he didn't expect the emperor to come running in. After entering the Zhu Fang Hall, he couldn't wait to peek inside.
"Ah - uh -"
The emperor was immediately overwhelmed by the sight of red flesh and blood mixed with mist on the ground, and his eyes rolled back as he fainted.
"emperor--"
The eunuch following behind the emperor immediately screamed in alarm, disregarding the strange situation inside the Zhu Fang Palace, and rushed forward to support the unconscious emperor: "Someone, quickly summon the imperial physician—"
"Xiao Anzi, help the Emperor back to the palace."
The somewhat elderly eunuch handed the emperor, whom he was supporting, to a junior eunuch beside him and casually gave the order.
"Then, Master—"
The old lady glared at the young eunuch: "I'll stay and handle this!"
His words were extremely presumptuous. He was merely a eunuch serving the emperor, yet he spoke as if he were the emperor himself. However, everyone was used to it, because this Eunuch Fang was none other than the invisible emperor of the palace!
