The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 405

As the night deepened, the palace was brightly lit, reflecting the splendor of the palace walls. But behind this prosperity, there was a storm that was about to unfold.

"Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Prince Suqi are all ready." Dong Qing's voice echoed in the silent palace corridor with a bit of solemnity.

Shangguan Ziling nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Leave the palace."

The group quietly left the palace and arrived at the palace gate, only to see their two cousins ​​Bei Yuanqi and Bei Suqi already waiting there.

When they saw Shangguan Ziling, they called out in unison, "Cousin Ziling."

Shangguan Ziling nodded, without any extra words, and only said: "My two cousins, let's go."

The snow fell heavier and heavier, fluttering down on the ground, dyeing the whole world white.

The group braved the wind and snow and arrived at Lingxiao Palace.

At this time, the palace was surrounded by the Royal Guards, like a ferocious beast, preparing to devour its prey.

When the Royal Guards saw their masters coming, their president, Bess, stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Prince, and Cousin."

Bei Yuanqi murmured "hmm" softly and looked at the gate of Lingxiao Palace with cold eyes.

The secret guards, imperial guards, and maids in the palace had no idea what was going on, and were filled with panic. The masters of their Lingxiao Palace had all gone to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve banquet, and no one in charge was in the palace. They didn't know what to do for a moment, and could only close the door of the palace and pray that they could spend the night safely.

Shangguan Ziling stood in front of the mansion gate, looking at the tightly closed door, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. She turned to the imperial guards and said, "Attack directly." Her voice was firm and decisive, leaving no room for doubt.

Upon hearing this, the Royal Guards immediately took action.

New Year's Eve is a time for families to reunite and gather together. However, in the midst of heavy snow, Lingxiao Palace welcomes an unexpected guest - the Imperial Guards.

The night was dark, and the gate of the palace was tightly closed, as if to resist the wind, snow and disturbance from the outside world. However, the sound of heavy knocks on the door broke the tranquility of the night. Then, accompanied by a loud bang, the gate was violently smashed open, and the Royal Guards poured in like a tide.

The secret guards in the palace immediately appeared. They were dressed in black and held sharp blades in their hands. They quickly gathered from all directions.

The two sides confronted each other and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"His Majesty has issued an order to search and confiscate Prince Lingxiao's Palace. Why don't you surrender immediately?" The commander of the Imperial Guards shouted loudly, holding the imperial edict.

The housekeeper of Lingxiao Palace said sternly: "Why would the emperor search and confiscate Lingxiao Palace? If the emperor wants to search our palace, he must find a crime. Right now our prince is attending the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, why don't we wait until our prince comes back?"

The president of the Imperial Guard, Bei Si, snorted coldly: "Humph! King Ling Xiao controls the court, his achievements are so great that he threatens the emperor, and he doesn't take the emperor seriously. This alone is a capital crime!"

However, no one in the palace responded. The secret guards stared at the imperial guards with a determined light in their eyes. They knew that there would be a fierce battle tonight.

As expected, the commander of the Imperial Guards immediately gave the order: "Go ahead, capture everyone in Lingxiao Palace! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

At his command, the royal guards drew their swords and rushed towards the secret guards.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce fight.

The falling snowflakes intertwined with the flying sword lights, forming a thrilling picture.

Although the number of secret guards is not as large as that of the royal guards, each of them is agile and has powerful moves.

They fought a desperate battle with the Royal Guards, and dazzling sparks flew every time the swords collided.

The buildings in the palace were constantly damaged during the fight, with tiles flying and wood chips flying everywhere. However, the secret guards were not afraid at all, they fought with all their might and vowed to fight to the death.

Shangguan Ziling, Bei Yuanqi, Bei Suqi and others stood aside and watched the fierce confrontation between the Imperial Guards and the palace guards and secret guards.

The Imperial Guards were numerous and aggressive, but the palace's guards and secret guards were not afraid at all. They were agile and worked in perfect harmony, and for a while, the Imperial Guards could not gain the upper hand.

Bei Suqi looked at the battle in front of him and said, "Lord Lingxiao, the secret guards in the palace are so powerful!"

Bei Yuanqi didn't say anything, but stared at the battlefield, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that he had to destroy Lingxiao Palace tonight.

Shangguan Ziling stood aside with a frown, looking at the bloody scene in front of her, without any sympathy in her heart, because these people were loyal to King Lingxiao, if she was too soft-hearted, these people would inevitably counterattack.

Bei Yuanqi noticed her, walked over and whispered, "Cousin Zi Ling, you are still pregnant. You should not stay here in such a bloody scene. Go back to the carriage and wait. Su Qi and I will be here."

Shangguan Ziling shook her head and said, "Cousin, I'm not that weak. Besides, I can help." There was a hint of stubbornness in her words.

Bei Yuanqi looked at her determined eyes, his face turned cold, and he said in a tough attitude: "Go back to the carriage and wait. I told you not to come, but you insisted on following me. Suqi and I are here. You are worried, so go back to the carriage quickly. You are still pregnant. It's too bloody here. You don't care, but you have to think about the baby in your belly."

"Oh" Shangguan Ziling turned and walked out.

Bei Yuanqi watched Shangguan Ziling go out and obediently get on the carriage before he turned around and joined the battle.

In the night, heavy snow fell, and the snowflakes fell on the iron armor and melted into water droplets in an instant. The battle between the imperial guards and the palace guards became more and more intense, with the sound of weapons clashing and screams coming one after another. Although the palace guards were brave, they were limited in number after all, and gradually began to seem unable to cope with the situation.

Bei Yuanqi and Bei Suqi joined forces. Their swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and each sword went straight to the vital point. Under their leadership, the Imperial Guards gradually gained the upper hand.

The palace's guards and secret guards fell one by one, and their blood dyed the snow red.

In the carriage, Dongqing Qiukui were accompanying Shangguan Ziling. At this time, Ye Mutian appeared outside the carriage and said, "Ziling, Uncle Ye is going to find Ye Feng."

Shangguan Ziling lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "Uncle Ye, be careful. Dongqing, go and help Uncle Ye."

"Yes".

In fact, Shangguan Ziling came here just for this Ye Feng. It was he who instigated King Lingxiao to destroy the Xiaoyao Sect and hunt down her mother. This man really deserves to die. He is hiding in King Lingxiao's mansion. This man is insidious and cunning, and he knows poison. She was worried about her two cousins, so she asked them to wait for her and she wanted to come along.

Finally, under the fierce attack of the Imperial Guards, all the guards and secret guards of Lingxiao Palace fell.

Their bodies were lying in all directions on the snow, and their blood dyed the entire snow red. Bei Yuanqi looked at the tragic scene in front of him without a trace of pity or sympathy in his heart.

He turned around and ordered the royal guards around him: "Sell all the maids and servants in Lingxiao Palace to Beihan!" His voice was cold and firm, and he left no room for doubt.

The Royal Guards immediately took action and took away the trembling maids and servants one by one.

The remaining Royal Guards cleaned up the battlefield.

Just at this moment, when everyone thought the dust had settled, an unpleasant smell blew in the face.

Shangguan Ziling's face instantly turned ugly. She quickly got off the carriage, rushed into the palace, and shouted, "Everyone leave the palace."

The remaining Royal Guards had no idea what was going on and looked confused.

Bei Yuanqi frowned, "Cousin Ziling, why did you come in again? Didn't I tell you to wait in the carriage?"

"There is poisonous gas, get out quickly," Shangguan Ziling said seriously.

Ye Mutian and Dong Qing appeared beside Shangguan Ziling.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared on the roof of Lingxiao Palace, like a demon descending from the darkness. He stood on a high place, looking at the people below with disdain, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"I want you to come here alive and leave dead." His voice was low and cold, as if it contained endless murderous intent.

Shangguan Ziling saw that her two cousins ​​and the Imperial Guards were all standing there in a daze. She had no time to explain to them and quickly sprinkled a handful of medicine powder. The powder spread in the air, emitting a faint fragrance that covered up the unpleasant smell.
