However, she still underestimated the Night King. When more than a dozen arrows flew in to form a dragnet, the Night King was as light as a swallow, and he shuttled freely through the arrow formation in the hall. After a few ricochets, he came behind the screen, grabbed the Seventh Prince's neck with one hand, and pushed him out.
Concubine Yi kicked up and at the same time put her hands on the Seventh Prince's shoulders to drag him back, trying to hide behind her. The guards of Yilan Palace flew in from the palace gate and besieged the Night King.
Concubine Yi jumped out of the crowd with the Seventh Prince, and she was still at ease. After landing, she quickly ran to the inner hall.
A long sword whizzed past the right side of her neck and stuck firmly into the sandalwood cabinet on her right.
She turned around suddenly and saw several guards lying on the ground in pieces. There were also a few more men in black in the hall, and no one knew when they arrived.
The Night King shook his head and said, "It seems that the imperial concubine will drink the wine for punishment if she refuses to drink the toast."
Concubine Yi said angrily, "Your Highness, I am the Emperor's concubine after all, and the biological mother of the Seventh Prince. You are so presumptuous in Yilan Palace, aren't you afraid of the Emperor's wrath?"
"Don't be afraid!" Ye Wang stepped over the guard's hand and walked in front of Concubine Yi, laughing wildly, "What have I ever been afraid of? It seems that Concubine Yi still doesn't know me well enough. Perhaps, we can go to the emperor together and have a good talk."
After he finished speaking, he twisted Concubine Yi's wrist and quickly tapped several acupuncture points on her body with his other hand. Concubine Yi felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Her legs lost strength and she could hardly stand.
"Let go of my mother!" The Seventh Prince was furious and flew towards the Night King. The Night King slapped him and the Seventh Prince flew to the side. Then he stood up again and rushed towards the Night King stubbornly like a small rocket. The Night King smiled evilly and raised his hand, "You are looking for death!"
"Night King!" Concubine Yi was so frightened that her soul flew away. She grabbed the Night King's wrist and said quickly: "Okay, whatever you say is what it is."
"Mother, there is no need to be afraid of him. Who the hell is he? He dares to attack me, he is courting death." The Seventh Prince said angrily.
The Night King grabbed his chin and pinched it hard. "Good boy, who do you think I am? I will do what I want to you. Didn't you say Xia Zian would skin you alive? She won't, but I will. Not only will I skin you alive, I will also dig out your eyeballs, stick out your tongue and cut it off piece by piece, then I will open your stomach and dig out your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, roast them over a raging fire, and force your mother to eat them bite by bite after they are cooked."
The Seventh Prince said contemptuously, "You dare not! If you had such a vicious heart, you wouldn't have ended up like this. In the Murong family, the most useless ones are you and the deposed crown prince."
Concubine Yi looked at the murderous intent in King Ye's eyes and angrily said, "Shut up, he is your uncle, don't say bad things."
“Mother, why are you afraid of him? If he had the ability, he would not come here to threaten you. He came to you because he was at his wit's end. If he dares to kill people in Yilan Palace, he will be courting death.” The Seventh Prince roared.
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and slapped the Night King's wrist, angrily saying: "You come to us and beg us in a nice way, we can still consider helping you. Anyway, this prince also dislikes that old woman. But you want to beat and kill, so this prince will not help you. What can you do to us? If you have the ability, just kill us. Let's see if you can escape from this palace?"
There was laughter behind him. A man in black covered his mouth and laughed secretly. He walked forward and patted the Night King on the shoulder. "Hey, you got threatened by a little brat, and now you have come to this day."
The Night King looked at the Seventh Prince, and suddenly a dagger appeared in his hand. He showed it in a few fancy moves, "Okay, then it's as you wish. I can't kill you, but I can probably cut you a dozen times."
Before he finished the last word, the Seventh Prince felt his cheeks getting cold and then wet. He was stunned for a moment, then reached out his hand to touch it, and saw blood on it.
"You..." The Seventh Prince pointed at the Night King, but before he could fully extend his finger, the sharp dagger scratched his finger. Although it did not break, blood gushed out immediately.
"Let him go!" Concubine Yi knelt on the ground, hugged the Seventh Prince, and looked at King Ye angrily, "I have already promised you, what else do you want?"
The Night King put away the dagger. "Isn't this what he asked for? I was too lazy to kill him."
"He's just a child!" Concubine Yi pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped his fingers. Her eyes were filled with anger, but also great fear.
"He is a child, but when he grows up, he will definitely be a villain." The Night King took a step back. "My concubine, please do as you wish. I just said I would skin people alive, and I was not just saying it casually. Haven't I done enough in this business? Go out and ask around, what does Xiehan Tower do?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and left with his men.
Concubine Yi collapsed on the ground, shivering. Xiehan Tower
Is he from Xiehan Tower
Xiehanlou is a sect that has emerged in the martial arts world in recent years. It has a large number of killers with high martial arts skills and vicious methods under its command. It takes high-end business. It is said that if Xiehanlou wants to kill someone, the minimum reward is 12,000 yuan.
The most important thing is that Xiehanlou’s methods of killing are extremely cruel, and skinning people alive is common.
"My son, you must not provoke him in the future, understand?" Concubine Yi warned the Seventh Prince with trembling teeth.
The Seventh Prince, a seven-year-old child, had his face and fingers cut, but he didn't cry or even frown. Just as the Night King said, the Seventh Prince has grown up to be extraordinary.
He gnashed his teeth and said, "This prince will not forgive him. If he falls into my hands in the future, I will definitely skin him alive and dig out his eyes."
"Mother said that we should not provoke him." Concubine Yi said sternly.
The Seventh Prince pursed his lips and said, "Mother, he was just trying to intimidate you. If he really had the guts, he would have killed me today. Unfortunately, he didn't. He was just bluffing. If you are intimidated by him, what will you do in the future?"
After saying that, he turned around and went in, completely ignoring his bleeding fingers.
Concubine Yi chased him in and saw him sitting in front of the dressing table, wiping the blood off his face with a handkerchief. The vicious look in his eyes shocked Concubine Yi.
However, one must be cruel in order to avoid being bullied. She has known this since she was five years old. If you want to be a superior person, you must be cruel enough.
She stepped forward and gently embraced the Seventh Prince. "My son, we must cooperate with the Night King this time. Mother is tired of always obeying the orders of the Noble Concubine. Only when she dies can we cooperate with Prince Nan Huai. Prince Nan Huai is easier to deal with than her, and he already has enough troops and power. With his help, you can ascend to the throne."
The Seventh Prince's face was filled with anger. "Mother, I hate the Night King. After we cooperate, you must kill him."
"Don't worry. When you ascend the throne, you can kill anyone you want with just one word." Concubine Yi gently wiped the blood off his face. "You must remember that before Prince Nan Huai and we reach a consensus, you must not provoke the Night King. Mother will think of a way to deal with him."
A vicious light flashed in her eyes. Xie Hanlou, he was actually from Xie Hanlou. Well, the emperor had said before that Xie Hanlou would become a great threat to the royal family and he intended to eradicate it, so she thought of a way to let the emperor know that he was from Xie Hanlou.
