The woman looked over with sharp eyes, "Don't let me say the same thing a second time!"
The subordinate shuddered and said, "Yes."
The woman left the house and stood on the porch, listening to the screams coming from inside, without any disturbance in her heart.
"I, I said..."
It wasn't until a faint voice came from inside that the woman's waveless eyes moved.
After a while, the subordinate came out and said, "Let me tell you, Situ Xu has relented. The mastermind behind the murder was the Empress Hui Fei, Ji Linghui."
The woman nodded, "I understand."
"Then what should Situ Xu do?" his subordinate asked for instructions.
The woman said without hesitation: "Kill."
The subordinate hesitated and couldn't help but remind him: "But you have some friendship with Leader Situ. If you kill his son, I'm afraid it will affect your friendship."
"You also said, it's just an influence. Old Ghost Situ has so many sons, and this one is not missing. Do I want to let him go and try to kill me again for the sake of such a friendship..." She stopped in time and did not go on. But there was a layer of anger between his eyebrows.
The subordinate understood what she meant, paused, and then stopped trying to persuade her.
It has not been easy for the host for so many years. With her temper, it is already very difficult for her to tolerate Situ Xu living till now.
"My subordinates will handle it now."
"Yeah." The woman nodded and walked away.
…
Late at night, Huixian Palace.
Ji Linghui slept uneasily. When she opened her eyes in confusion, she saw a dark figure standing beside the bed. She trembled and woke up instantly.
Just as she was about to scream, a cold sword was already pressed against her throat.
"If you dare to scream, I will kill you immediately!"
Judging from the voice, it was clearly a woman.
Ji Linghui calmed down and said nothing. In the darkness, she met a pair of cold, cold eyes. Those eyes were beautiful, but they gave people an inexplicable feeling of fear.
She couldn't help but shudder.
The man in black suddenly took action and tapped her acupuncture point, and she immediately became unable to move.
Seeing Ji Linghui's frightened pupils, the man in black withdrew his weapons and carried her out of Huixian Palace.
It was too cheap to kill this woman, she must make her life worse than death.
Anyone who dares to harm her... will pay a heavy price!
Lu Tingchen is on duty tonight.
He led people from the direction of Longqian Palace. Suddenly, a ghostly black shadow flashed quickly in the darkness and headed towards the palace wall.
Lu Tingchen frowned, drew his sword and chased after him.
"who?"
The man in black didn't stop, and noticed the sword energy coming from behind him. Without turning his head, he waved his sleeves, and a strong air flow hit him backwards.
But the next moment, a black figure passed over her head and stood in front of her with a sword.
"Put him down, and I can consider letting you go!" Lu Tingchen glanced at Ji Linghui, who was being held by the man in black, and his voice was equally cold.
Looking at the man standing in front of him, the man in black was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that the man could avoid her killing move.
There was no moon tonight, only a few scattered stars, but the man in black could still clearly see the face of the man standing in front of him.
Slender and straight figure, resolute yet handsome facial features, especially those eyes...
The man in black was in a daze for a moment, and she didn't come back to her senses until the sharp sword energy approached her face.
She glanced at Lu Tingchen complicatedly, and the sharp palm wind she hit him also weakened.
"This woman is cruel and ruthless. If you save her, you will regret it!" Seeing Lu Tingchen's reluctance, the man in black was a little annoyed and his voice became cold.
Lu Tingchen couldn't say whether he liked or disliked Ji Linghui, but it was his duty to guard the palace. Ji Linghui was the emperor's concubine no matter what, and he was on duty tonight. If he allowed thieves to kidnap the concubine under his nose, wouldn't it be wrong? Damn his reputation
