"Xiyue isn't dead!" Hua Bai Ning saw that there was no hope left for her to live, and shouted out loud. However, Qiao Qiao's body was enraged, she was just about to open her mouth to stop her, when she saw how fast the seal was. She was forced to move forward and stand in front of Hua Bai Ning.

Xing Fu held his sword, but he did not expect Qiao Qiao to suddenly rush over. He immediately stopped, but it was already too late, the sword still pierced into the three inches of Qiao Qiao's shoulder.

Qiao Qiao was still firmly standing in front of Hua Bai Ning, feeling a chill behind her back. She held onto her shoulder and staggered.

"Joe still!" The Death God let out a loud roar, his face full of anxiety. He threw away the sword in his hand and immediately went to support Qiao Qiao who was on the verge of collapsing.

"Sigh …" "Xiyue, where are you?" Qiao Qiao's eyes were still fixed on Bai Ning. The last words she said before she fainted were these. Following that, she accompanied the shouts of the crowd and the satisfied look in her eyes as she slowly closed her eyes.

It didn't matter if this was Hua BaiNing's plan to delay the war. As long as there was a sliver of hope for Xiyue, she wouldn't give up.

One night later.

Qiao Qiao still slowly opened her eyes. She didn't care about the pain in her shoulder as she asked Qingwu who was sleeping beside her bed.

"Hua Bai Ning, where's Hua Bai Ning?!"

Qingwu was still shaken awake by Qiao Qiao. She looked at him nervously, full of worry.

"Your Majesty, you're injured. The imperial physician said it's not appropriate for you to move."

"No. Hua BaiNing said that Xiyue isn't dead. Xiyue actually isn't dead." Joe, still looking excited, started to put on his shoes and walk out.

"Your Majesty, Bai Ning and her …" Qingwu wanted to say something but hesitated.

"She's dead."

Qingwu's words were cut off by the technique. Qingwu looked at the man who had sent the emperor back to the palace with a nervous expression and couldn't help but bite her lips. It was better for him to tell the emperor about this matter.

While thinking about this, Qingwu slowly left the inner hall of the Qian Qing Palace, standing guard at the entrance of the palace with a serious look on her face.

"Dead? "Why did you die?" Qiao Qiao's face was still filled with cold anger as he stared at the technique and scolded.

"You're still wounded, go lie back down first." He tried to persuade her.

"Tell me, why did he die?" Joe continued to shout.

"I killed him." Nie Fen sighed, lowered his eyes, and said honestly to Qiao Qiao.

"You killed him?" Qiao Qiao still repeated himself. His originally weak face immediately became pale. He shouted, "Didn't you hear her say that Xiyue isn't dead? Why did you kill her? Why did you kill her? "What should we do?!"

"Xiyue died!" "Bai Ning said that she cut off a palace maid's tongue and pasted it onto a human skin mask that looked like Xiyue's, in order to make Yingyue feel at ease. The real Xiyue was replaced by her, so she was able to protect herself, so the corpse in the cold palace is not Xiyue, but when I sent someone to the place she mentioned, she had already disappeared."

"He disappeared?" Qiao Qiao seemed to have grasped onto something important as her pair of despairing eyes instantly lit up. "That is to say, she might not be dead but just missing, right?"

"But …" "This is the place where the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest is located. It is surrounded by an ancient forest, and the branches are dense. There are many fierce beasts here, and Xiyue is covered with wounds. I'm afraid that things aren't going to end well for her."

"Even if the odds are against us, we still have good fortune!" Have you guys found him? " Qiao Qiao asked in a probing manner.

"Yes." "There are no traces in the ancient forest, and all around us are corpses torn apart by beasts. No one knows if Xiyue is inside."

"Impossible." Qiao Qiao still shook her head and staggered two steps back. Her thoughts had drifted away, but the tearing pain from the wound on her shoulder forced her back to reality. "You're the one who killed Hua Bai Ning?" She was finally able to calm down a little.

"Yes." Nie Fen nodded.

"She must have died with great indignation." Joe gave a sudden sneer.

"She brought this upon herself." The voice was cold.

"The alliance between the two of us has ended here. Asgard Master should come back to the palace less often in the future." Qiao Qiao paused for a moment and then said indifferently.

"Your majesty is going to destroy the bridge after crossing the river?" Nie Tian chuckled. He wasn't angry at all.

"Since there's no bridge, why do we need to destroy it?" Joe still frowned.

"Who said no, could it be that the emperor doesn't want to know who that man who fought against this sovereign last night was?" Seeing that Qiao Qiao's eyes had regained their normal color, Nie Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, this girl was very stubborn. She would definitely send someone to find Xiyue.

"You know?"

"The bridge isn't here anymore. How will this sovereign speak to the emperor?" He shrugged his shoulders.

Qiao Qiao was still startled and smiled as he lowered his head. What was wrong with her? Why did she suddenly have a strange feeling towards the technique? Why did she try so hard to push him away from her after this feeling.

"The bridge can be rebuilt. Moreover, the identity of that person last night is related to what the Mistress wants to know. It is a matter that benefits each other, so why can't the Mistress say anything?" Joe was still chuckling.

"Oh? Is that person related to Prime Minister Luo? " Nie Fen raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Yes, if Zhen did not guess wrong, that person is doing things for Luo Qinglun." Yesterday, she had purposely let out news that the assassination of Xiyue was related to the silver needle, and the silver needle had been found on the body of the dead palace maid. That meant that anyone who touched the corpse of the woman would have a lingering fear, for fear that they would miss the target, and Hua Bai Ning had killed the woman. The black clothed man had listened to Luo Qinglun's orders to place the corpse of the woman into Ji Yuan's inner courtyard without anyone noticing, and both of them had touched the corpse of the person.

So there was Joe, still in his jar.

"The emperor really is a schemer. Two birds with one stone." Nie Fen laughed in praise.

"You're too polite. Asgard Master can now say, just who is that black-clothed man?" Joe asked.

"It's the Demon Lord's subordinate, Chimei." His brows were tightly knitted together, and when he thought about the Demon Lord, his eyes were still filled with an unforgettable hatred.

"So you're saying, the people around Luo Qinglun are the Demon Lord's people? Just what is the relationship between the Demon Lord and Luo Qinglun that they would actually send their capable subordinates into the palace for a random imperial concubine to dispatch! " Qiao Qiao was still puzzled as he asked.

"I'm afraid that the Demon Sovereign isn't related to Luo Qinglun. Your majesty, don't forget that the person behind Luo Qinglun is Prime Minister Luo." Nie Tian pursed his lips with a smile on his face.

"You're saying that the one who's colluding with the Demon Palace is Prime Minister Luo?" Qiao Qiao was still stunned. "But as the Prime Minister, why would he collude with the Demon Palace when he's above one person and below ten thousand people?"

"What if he doesn't want to be left alone?" "After all, no one would be willing to let a little girl do whatever she wants." It seemed as if the Death Spell had gained some sort of enlightenment as it spoke.

Qiao once again looked at the technique, but he did not speak. His thoughts raced, and he had already suspected Prime Minister Luo's original intention.

"If that's really the case, then I know why he can't tolerate the Regent in his eyes." On the other hand, Prime Minister Luo was different. If he wanted to obtain the throne of the Yan Clan, the first step was to eliminate his greatest opponent, and the Yan Clan's case back then was also the doing of the Demon Palace. When Prime Minister Luo colluded with the Demon Palace and rebelled against them, it could be said to be acceptable.

"Alright, since I've already said that it's time for me to leave, I'm just afraid that if the emperor is unhappy later and orders me to leave again, I'll lose some face as well. It's better to leave by myself." Nie Fen pursed his lips, still resentful towards Joe.

Qiao Qiao's face was still stiff. Alright, she admits that her words just now were a little too abrupt …

Seeing that Qiao Qiao was still a little embarrassed, Nie Tian suddenly laughed. He pointed at the tip of Qiao's nose and said with a smile, "I'm teasing you!" As he finished speaking, he raised his hand and caressed Qiao Qiao's long hair that was still as black as ink.

At this moment, the embarrassment on Qiao Qiao's face was replaced by a flush on his face. Was this action of Death's Formula a bit of an ambiguous action …

Xing Fu bent over and saw that Qiao Qiao's delicate face was still flushed red. He smiled happily and then put his hands down. He did not continue talking with Qiao Qiao and slowly walked out of the palace.

After the figure disappeared, Qiao Qiao slowly regained her senses. She really did not know what was going on with her. Why did she pay so much attention to every movement of the technique …

Right now, the most important thing for her to do was to find Xiyue. Since Hua Bai Ning wanted to hand her over, then she definitely wouldn't do anything to Xiyue. If Xiyue wasn't eaten by the ferocious beasts in the ancient forest, then she would be safe.

"Qingwu." Joe said softly, still sitting on the bed.

"Your majesty." Qingwu had been guarding the entrance of the palace the entire time, but when she entered the door, she didn't see the man's figure. Her face was full of shock, that person had unexpectedly left under her protection without a trace, it seemed that this person's martial arts skills were not shallow.

"I was injured last night. I didn't have the time to ask about the situation in the palace." Joe was still really worried about whether Yingyue had actually done anything to harm her.

Qingwu lowered her head and bit her pale lips. The emperor was injured, how could she be angry?

"Say something." Seeing Qingwu like this, Qiao Qiao had already guessed seventy percent.

"Reporting to the emperor, esteemed imperial concubine has already ordered Yingyue to be apprehended." Qingwu bit her lips as she spoke. She would never lie, even if it was just to comfort the emperor.

"It seems that she still made her move." Qiao Qiao's eyes were still downcast. If it weren't for the fact that Yingying had fallen into his trap last night, Ji Mingyuan wouldn't have sent people to capture her.

"Whatever, come with me to take a look at the moon."

Qiao Qiao still let out a soft sigh, but it was still heard by Qingwu. She supported Qiao Qiao who was on the bed and followed closely behind her.
