In the forest not far away from Clear Light Temple. The air was thick with miasma and with the bad weather, the surrounding was even darker.
Luo Qing Chen suddenly regretted it. It wouldnât be easy to find the carpet in this weather, she should have come in the day instead.
But there would be many people during the day and it would be inconvenient. So she decided to do it tonight.
In the east, there was a swamp if one searched the forest. If she didnât know about this place ahead of time, she might have accidentally fallen in.
Using the Exquisite Ring as a flashlight, she lit up the surrounding area. She started looking from the eastern side, but she couldnât find any footprints at all.
Not to mention any carpetsâ¦â¦
Luo Qing Chen stood there with a frown as she muttered, âCould that waiter have already been bribed?â
When she was lost deep in thought, there was a loud cry that rang out as lights appeared in the surrounding area.
âDonât let him escape. If he returns to the palace, all of us will lose our heads.â
âBoss, donât worry. Heâs already poisoned and canât run far, he will die today.â
There was some distance between her and them. If the leader hadnât shouted out, she wouldnât have heard them.
Could it be that they were sent by the one who killed the eighth prince?
It shouldnât beâ¦â¦
Poisoned? But she wasnât poisoned.
Just who were these people chasing? Based on the wild voices, it should be someone from the palace.
Everyoneâs head would be lost, that meant that this personâs status wasnât low.
Luo Qing Chen knitted her brows before she started walking in the direction of those voices.
Her footsteps were light and she was still well hidden when she approached the light.
âBoss, thereâs blood here.â
âLook carefully, he must be nearby.â
Luo Qing Chen narrowed her eyes and looked around.
Her eyes fell onto some rocks not far away.
If one wanted to hide, that was the only place.
âFound it.â
When Luo Qing Chen was planning on going over towards the rocks, another black clothed person found it at the same time.
In an instant, she followed the light and saw the person that they had surrounded.
He was wearing a dark green robe and his handsome face was illuminated by the moon.
His face was pale, his right hand held his chest, and blood came from his lips.
But his aura was different from other peopleâs. It was as if just by standing there, he had the aura of a king.
âYou canât run.â The leader held a large blade as he said in a rough voice, âThe worldâ¦â¦will change owners.â
Luo Qing Chenâs heart trembled when she heard this.
Ownerâ¦â¦Ownerâ¦â¦Ownerâ¦â¦
She closed her eyes and remembered her time in the Harmonious West Palace.
Concubine Li wasnât very favoured, so the emperor came to the Harmonious West Palace very little.
As servants, as long as the emperor came, Concubine Li would have them leave so they couldnât see the emperor.
So the previous hostâs world only had the emperorâs drunkenness. It made Concubine Li hate the maid she had raised over many years and send her to the clothes washing department.
âEmperorâ¦â¦â
Luo Qing Chen suddenly opened her eyes and unconsciously muttered this.
The young man in front of her surrounded by over twenty black clothed men was actually the emperor.
âThen itâll depend on if you have the ability.â A cold voice rang out that had the imperial aura to it.
Although he had been poisoned, he never backed down.
Luo Qing Chen slightly knitted her brows, wondering if she should save him or not.
