"Hehe, does the medicine work so quickly?"

Looking at the three corpses lying on the ground, Tu Muxue smiled wickedly,

"Hey, it seemed that I put too much medicine. I haven't been on the carriage yet. I'll have trouble for a while..."

She twisted her neck, making some grinding sounds, which were so harsh and horrible in the unusually quiet atmosphere.

The girl tilted her head and an embroidered shoe slammed on Gu Yunyao's back. When she spoke, her voice was low and dumb, especially like a man, which was very different from that of lightness and sweetness just now.

"Concubine Yu, don't blame me. It is your sister Gu Yunxi who betrayed Your Highness and made us uneasy in this world. You are the most important person to Gu Yunxi. Killing you is equivalent to killing her. I don’t want to be the wife of that detestableEmperor and I will send that old man to the dwelling place of the dead to accompany you later. Hahaha..."

The girl laughed wildly and took off the plum blossom hairpin from her head. The colorful glaze cracked all over the floor.

When she turned around leisurely, the girl seemed to be hit by the fixation curse. Her face became bloodless and pale and her evil and stern smile seemed to freeze.

Gu Yunxi leaned against the door and was dressed up as a palace maid. She gently squeezed a fake face in her left hand which was used to disguise herself and then smiled softly,

"Tu Muxue, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The girl opposite her was stunned and she frowned in confusion,

"When, when do you..."

She couldn't believe it. The Spring Banquet was going on, but Gu Yunxi didn't follow Leng Qingtang. When she didn't notice it, Gu Yunxi quietly entered Jingyang Palace.

Naturally, she also didn't know that all this was done with the help of Lord Zhao's ingenious arrangement.

Gritting her teeth bitterly, the girl sneered and raised her thumb to point to the back,

"Huh, Gu Yunxi, you come late. Concubine Yu, whom the Eastern Depot relied on, has died. I poisoned her by myself. If you are sensible, get out of my way quickly. Do you think you can be my rival because you are handed down in a direct line from Your Highness?"

There was a clear voice from behind,

"Tu Muxue, do you say you have killed me by poisoning?"

The girl widened her eyes suddenly. Taking a breath, she turned around, only to meet Gu Yunyao's enraged and charming face.

Standing beside her were Zhao An and Song Qin, both of whom were safe and sound.

The girl was confused,

"How, how... I surely have put arsenic in the food and you all have eaten it too..."

Zhao An's expression was overwhelmingly serious and his eyes flickered coldly,

"Jingyang Palace has got the news early that you are going to harm Her Grace. This food has been changed by Her Grace long ago!"

Getting the news?

Who was it? Who leaked it?

This question flashed through Tu Muxue's mind. She had no time to think about it and ran away.

Suddenly, a team of Imperial Guards led by Qinger rushed down the corridor. They marshaled a command formation and besieged Tu Muxue.

At the same time, another figure jumped down from the high wall of the outer garden into the encirclement and slashed at Tu Muxue without any explanation.

Under the shadow of the light, Qinger recognized the face of the person and shouted in surprise,

"Are you Lu? Hey, watch out! Don't hurt her face!"

Lu Qiange frowned and felt impatient, thinking that Qinger's reminder was completely unnecessary. He replied unsympathetically,

"Nonsense. Of course, I know!"

Gu Yunxi didn't want to owe Lu Qiange anymore and joined in the battle.

Lu Qiange's swordsmanship was exquisite, like a fierce tiger. Qinger was agile and ruthless. Although Gu Yunxi had no weapons, she had strong internal strength and peculiar steps.

Tu Muxue was alone in the fight against the three people. In the encirclement, she could not get out. It was inevitable that she became impetuous. She shouted,

"Gu Yunxi, you use the many to defeat the few. You are a very useless person!"

The girl opposite smiled coldly,

"You don't know that 'only women and villains are hard to get along with'. Catching you is the best proof of my ability!"

The steel blade that Lu Qiange raised high suddenly stopped in the air and he turned his head blankly. He looked at the common female guard beside him who had quarrels when meeting him in the Palace. His pink lips trembled with excitement.

Yunxi... Was she Yunxi?

There was a pain in his chest and a huge force kicked him out of the encirclement.

A fight began immediately.

There were twenty Imperial Guards in this team and all of them were good at martial arts. However, they were ruthless and couldn't use hidden weapons in close combat, for fear of hurting the companions or Tu Muxue's face.

Tu Muxue used the dagger hidden in her sleeves as a weapon and turned her palm into a blade to deal with everyone.

At this moment, her eyes were painful, as if they were clenched. Her vision became more and more blurred.

“My eyes... What's the matter?”

She endured it desperately and her teeth already bit her lower lip.

At the critical moment, more than a dozen ghost-faced men in black appeared at the edge of the tile ridges of the side palace hall, holding a bow and crossbow at the Main Hall

"No, protect Concubine Yu!"

Gu Yunxi was quick at hearing and seeing. The moment she rushed to the Main Hall first, those men on the roofshot crossbow arrows.

The arrows were fierce and sharp and galloped through the mist of night with a ferocious sound, flashing cold white light in the dark. They were overwhelming like a starry river roaring toward the Main Hall of Jingyang Palace.

Zhao An and Song Qin dragged Gu Yunyao into the hall and stuffed her under the table.

Gu Yunxi strode into the Main Hall and closed the door quickly. She crouched to avoid the carved lattice, blocking the door tightly with her arms.

The crackling in the ears kept making noise. Countless sharp arrows came through the window, breaking a lot of things.

"Yunxi, Yunxi!"

Gu Yunyao cried as she was worried about her younger sister's safety. She tried to come out under the table several times. However, Zhao An stopped her firmly.

After the attack, Gu Yunxi opened the door carefully and saw the four or five bodies lying in the courtyard. They were dressed in black with torn masks. They should be Tu Muxue’s accomplices outside the Palace. They got the news and came to help her tonight.

"Yunxi!" The call came from behind again.

Gu Yunxi stopped and Gu Yunyao ran to grab her arms.

The woman's eyes were clear and watery, with teardrops overflowing. Her warm and trembling fingertips caressed every inch of the girl's plain and unpretentious features.

She shook her head and sobbed,

"No, don't go, Yunxi. I am waiting and you finally come back. Don't leave me, okay?"

When she learned the truth, Gu Yunyao finally realized why Madam Mu and she were able to become fast friends at the first meeting in the imperial harem and why she had been saved by Madam Mu after several risks.

It turned out that her Yunxi had always been by her side and this silent guardianship far exceeded any brotherhood.

"Sister…"

At the moment when she called the woman, the girl burst into tears.

She had waited too long for the day of reuniting in the dream and in reality.

The two sisters cried on the spot.

A sudden change outside made Gu Yunxi suddenly realize that the battle was still going on.

She rudely wiped away her tears with determination and shook her sister's hands firmly,

"Sister, I will be fine. I will come back to see you when the matter is done."

Without turning her head back, she got into the night and crossed several halls. At the highest point she saw Imperial Guards lying down everywhere.

With a shock in her heart, Gu Yunxi jumped to the ground.

"Qinger, are you injured?"

They covered their ears, rolling over and vomiting blood, which shocked the girl.

Qinger's face was sallow and she covered her chest with her hands. She opened her mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. She coughed twice and said faintly,

"Yunxi, that woman is... so amazing. We... are all hurt by her Lion Roar..."

Lion Roar skill was a kind of martial arts that attached a powerful internal strength to the voice to capture people with sound waves. It was exactly the same as killing people with the help of music.

"Where's she?" Gu Yunxi questioned closely.

"She runs to the east... Mr. Lu is chasing her... Her accomplices have been... have been beheaded..."

Gu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and patted Qinger's shoulder,

"Thanks for your hard work. Take care of yourself. I will handle the rest of the matter..."

Going straight to the east in one breath, Gu Yunxi knew that Tu Muxue had to take the shortcut of the Pavilion of Good Omens if she wanted to leave the Palace successfully.

Sure enough, she saw Tu Muxue on the top floor of the towering building. With frenzied eyes and the dagger clinging to one side of her cheek, Tu Muxue scattered a dazzling cold light under the white moonlight.

"Don't come up! Lu, if you dare to come up, I will destroy my face immediately!"

Tu Muxue screamed madly and her eyes darkened.

Downstairs, Lu Qiange raised his head and watched her. He shouted in a deep voice,

"Hey, don't mess around. If you dare to ruin this face a little bit, I will let you die!"

"Tu Muxue, just cut it off. This face is given to you!"

Gu Yunxi held her hands on the side and shouted with a calm expression, as if she no longer cared about Tu Muxue's face.

Lu Qiange looked over in a panic and he was startled,

"Tu... Yunxi, what are you talking about! She is going to hurt your face. Even if you don't feel distressed, I feel distressed!"

Lu Qiange was arrogant and impatient, and naturally couldn't understand the girl's intentions, so he could only yell at her.

On the tall building, Tu Muxue's red dress fluttered in the wind like flying flowers. She hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't bear to destroy this face that she envied but also hated. It seemed that she still had some longing and certain hope in her heart.

Laughing wildly, she waggled and said,

“The Eastern Depot, you have good means. You make me blind by poisoning the flower hairpin? Good, good!”

“Gu Yunxi, you can never cast off my face in this life! I wish you and Master Leng a harmonious union lasting a hundred years and always keep each other's company like birds flying and nestling. Every day he opens his eyes, he will see... my face! Ahahahahahaha...”

The mournful laughter came to an abrupt end. The girl on the heights suddenly widened her eyes and her wrists seemed to have been hit hard. She screamed, shook her hands, and threw the blade away. Her body was like a paper kite with a broken string. She fell down from the building lightly.

"Tu Muxue!”

Gu Yunxi screamed. She flew several times and jumped to the top floor of the Pavilion of Good Omens.

Falling from such a high place, she would be seriously injured if she didn't die. Gu Yunxi didn't want Tu Muxue to die at this time. The words she just said were nothing more than provocation and she expected Tu Muxue to be reluctant to hurt the facial features.

Right now, the medical sage hadn’t been found, and if Tu Muxue died like this, she would have no chance to change back her face.

Seen from a height, the night-shrouded official road was completely black. Gu Yunxi couldn’t be reconciled. She went down the main road and looked around. But she didn’t find any trace of Tu Muxue's figure...
