âI donât have the guts,â Mo Yingyue quickly said. If these words reached the crown princeâs ears, she wouldâ¦
âThatâs true. The crown prince is a jealous lover.â Leng Ruoxue expressed her understanding and sympathy.
âRuoxue, almost all the preparations are done.â 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!
âOkay, letâs do it tonight!â Leng Ruoxue nodded, finally deciding on the time.
âTonight? Why the rush?â Mo Yingyue was puzzled.
âThereâs no better time than today. Today is a good day,â Leng Ruoxue said somewhat charlatan-like.?Tonight, I will avenge the death of the Silly Ruoxue. Hmph! As for Xu Naâer? Sheâs next!
âAlright, Iâll listen to you. Iâll go back and prepare first,â Mo Yingyue said as she stood up.
âIâll see Big Sister Mo out,â Leng Ruoxue said as she also stood up.
âNo need. Weâre sisters. Thereâs no need to be so polite,â Mo Yingyue quickly said.
Leng Ruoxue didnât stand on ceremony after hearing Mo Yingyueâs words. She looked at Feng Mo. âThen Big Brother Feng, help me send Big Sister Mo off!â
She still had a good impression of Mo Yingyue. Moreover, Mo Yingyue wanted to befriend her wholeheartedly.
âFreak, letâs go to the palace to play tonight.â Leng Ruoxue then looked at Charm and Dazzle hesitantly.
âMaster, I want to go too,â Dazzle yelled, unwilling to be left out.
âMaster, let him accompany you. I will stay to protect the generalâs mansion,â Charm said very sensibly.
âAlright then!â 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.
â¦
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.
âRuoxue, here.â Mo Yingyue was waiting for them outside the Phoenix Algae Palace.
âBig Sister Mo, letâs begin!â Leng Ruoxue said directly after seeing Mo Yingyue.
âOkay, Ruoxue. Letâs split up.â Mo Yingyue nodded.
âRemember to leave the seventh prince for me,â Leng Ruoxue reminded before taking action.
âDonât worry. Heâs yours,â 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 emperorâs sleeping chamber. Apart from the guards at the door, there were no eunuchs or maidservants in the room.
This emperor sure is gutsy. Isnât 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.
âDonât look!â Freak hurriedly covered Leng Ruoxueâs eyes with his hands.
âFreak, what are you doing?â Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.?Whatâs wrong with him?
âXueâer, donât open your eyes. You will get a stye if you look.â
Leng Ruoxue removed Freakâs hands covering her eyes and glared at him before turning her gaze to the bed.
âTch! Isnât it just a few naked people!â Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly while looking at Freak in disdain.?This emperor is really perverted. Itâs actually a foursome. But can he still perform? Didnât Freak drug him?
âXueâer, his figure isnât good,â Freak said aggrievedly, his eyes brimming with tears.
âWake him up!â 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! Itâs important to create an atmosphere.
âOkay.â Freak wrapped the scarf around his head, stretched out his hand, and gently released a tread of spiritual power at the emperorâs body.
âWho are you? Guards!â 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.
âWeâre here to negotiate a deal with you. Donât be afraid. As long as you behave, we wonât kill you,â Leng Ruoxue comforted kindly.
âWhat deal?â 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 didnât dare to act rashly.
âI wonât kill you as long as you write an edict to abdicate now and pass the throne to the crown prince.â As for whether the crown prince would kill him or not, she didnât care.
âDonât even think about it,â Li Xunâs angry eyes said no.
âThen die!â Leng Ruoxue got a knife from who knows where and slashed at Li Xun.
âNo! Iâll write! Iâll write!â 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!
âGood boy.â 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.
âStop shaking!â Leng Ruoxue glared at Li Xun in displeasure.?Damn emperor, you asked for it.?Originally, she didnât even want to deal with Li Xun.
âOkay, okay.â Li Xun, who couldnât 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.
âCrown Prince, you can come in now,â Leng Ruoxue said softly when she heard the footsteps outside.
âImperial Father, Iâve wronged you.â At this moment, a handsome man in a bright yellow dragon robe walked in with large strides and took the edict from Leng Ruoxue.
âThank you!â Crown Prince Li Yuan ignored Li Xunâs angry gaze and spoke to Leng Ruoxue and Freak.
âThereâs no need to thank me. Just remember not to have any designs on me,â Leng Ruoxue said lightly. Li Yuan was quite perceptive and smart. His aptitude might not be as good as Li Yuâs, but he was more suitable to be emperor than him.
