In the midst of an imperial palace, a needle drop can be heard.
ChenMo sits on the left seat in the palace. In front of him, three people are seated respectively, they are MuQiuge, JiangDongli and LiuRuyan, who haven't been seen for days.
Compared to before, the three have all changed.
MuQiuge occasionally smiles at the corners of her mouth, but she can't help feeling nervous in such an abnormal atmosphere. However, under ChenMo's advice, her strange illness has been greatly improved, and she no longer makes those inappropriate laughs.
JiangDongli's eyes glanced around her chest, puffing her cheeks angrily and staring at ChenMo. Her eyes were full of anger, if it wasn't for others present, she probably couldn't hold back her inner impulse and punch ChenMo.
As far as Jiang Dongli is concerned, whether ChenMo leaves the capital or not is not a big deal. But the problem is, this scoundrel of his actually dug a trap for her before leaving, making Liu Wuqi feel that he could escape because of her help on the side.
That's why, during the period after ChenMo left, there was a small fight every day and a big fight every three days in the palace, with no end to the cries.
To this day, there are still faint redness and swelling on Jiang Dongli's eyes, left by the tears she shed from being beaten.
Liu Ruyan watched ChenMo with a seemingly smile but not quite, her eyes as if they could pierce right through him.
Although ChenMo didn't leave her any trouble before escaping, she still felt a bit displeased that she was used. However, this dissatisfaction did not show on her face.
"ChenMo, you actually have the audacity to return. You made me suffer so much before, I've been waiting for revenge every day. Today, I finally have you back."
Jiang Dongli stood up, storming forward, and grabbed ChenMo by the collar of his clothes with one hand, her posture suggesting she was about to beat him up on the spot.
Liu Ruyan's red lips curled into a cold smile, "It's true, to use us to escape like that is disobedient. He should be punished. Although the King can't bear it, we can."
"You guys are really..."
ChenMo helplessly smiled, "Don't you remember only the bad things I've done to you? Have you forgotten that it was I who taught you the method to break through? And you, Ai Li, how do you feel after being beaten? Have you broken through as well?"
Since meeting ChenMo, Jiang Dongli's changes in her aura have been noticed by him. Compared to before, she has improved a lot, indicating that she has already broken through to the second level.
He has met all five Sovereigns. The other four have made no progress, and Jiang Dongli is the only one who has made significant advances.
"You, you, you..."
Jiang Dongli was angry. If she were to speak the truth, it was indeed ChenMo who helped her. However, she couldn't swallow her anger.
"All of you, stop arguing. Have we forgotten why we are here?"
Mu Qiuge surprisingly spoke up to help ChenMo.
After hearing this, Jiang Dongli may not be willing to go back willingly, but she still followed suit and went back.
"Speak up. Why did you have Bixia lock down the capital and the imperial capital? Also, since the King has returned with you, where is she? What exactly happened here?"
The actions of Feng Banzha and Yun Chunqiu aroused the curiosity of the three Sovereigns.
"This matter is a long story..."
ChenMo did not hide anything and told the three Sovereigns the whole story. After listening, their facial expressions changed from one to another, ultimately becoming solemn.
Liu Wuqi's trouble means the entire Tianmo Sect will be in danger. The three looked at each other as if they had lost their backbone.
"Three, the coming days will be the most difficult time for Tianmo Sect. I hope you can put aside our past differences..."
ChenMo's expression was serious, and the three of them had all received guidance from ChenMo. At this moment, they also understood the seriousness of the situation, so they moved closer and seriously asked: "What do we need to do?"
Several hours passed.
ChenMo returned to Liu Wuqi's bedroom again. At this time, Song Wen also came out, sweating profusely and looking pale.
"What's the situation?"
ChenMo stepped forward and asked with concern.
Song Wen shook her head slightly, her expression not very good, "The three silver needles hit the King's heart and lungs. The poison has already entered the heart and lungs through the needles. I don't have enough power to expel this poison, let alone enter the heart and lungs. Any carelessness may result in the King's death."
Fortunately, the acupoint where the silver needle was inserted has slowed down the spread of the poison. If the needle were removed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Song Wen's words also made ChenMo's heart tighten. Fortunately, he didn't act rashly back then, or else, Liu Wuqi might not have lived until tomorrow.
"So, what's the current situation of His Majesty now? Can she be saved?"
Jiang Dongli, the only one of the Sovereigns who followed ChenMo, hurriedly moved closer and asked with concern.
Song Wen shook her head again, "With my current strength, I cannot save him. I can only use my abilities to continue slowing down the spread of the poison in His Majesty's heart and lungs, so that she can live for a few more days. If the time goes on longer, I will have no guarantee...".
"Damn, how could this be"
Jiang Dongli tightly clenched her fists in urgency and cursed angrily.
"Apparently, we can only wait for Little Bean to come."
ChenMo sighed helplessly and looked at Jiang Dongli, "From now on, it will be up to you to protect Song Wen. Also, no one other than the Sovereigns should be allowed to approach this area. Anyone who violates the order will be executed without hesitation."
"Okay."
Jiang Dongli nodded in agreement, then led Song Wen to a bedroom nearby and stayed there first.
ChenMo pushed open the door of Liu Wuqi's bedroom and looked at the sleeping beauty on the bed, his face full of melancholy. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked her small hands with his hands, "Wuqi, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."
The sleeping beauty on the bed lay quietly, showing no movement, and it was unknown if she could hear what he had said.
ChenMo sat by the bedside, chatting with Liu Wuqi, who may not have heard him, about old times. Unconsciously, an entire night passed.
The next morning, ChenMo, looking haggard, heard a knock on the door outside the bedroom.
ChenMo stood up, pushed open the door of the bedroom, and saw Yun Chunqiu standing at the door, her expression grave.
To avoid disturbing Liu Wuqi, ChenMo closed the door of the bedroom and walked out, "Say it."
"Two things."
Yun Chunqiu spoke succinctly, "The first thing is, we have turned the palace inside out and finally found the spies of the other side. There are three of them in total..."
"Huh, they do have some skills. It's amazing that they managed to infiltrate three people."
ChenMo shook his head, a hint of curiosity suddenly flashed across his face, "There are so many people in the palace, and the spies are operating in such secrecy. How did you manage to find them out within a day?"
"It's rather coincidental."
Yun Chunqiu answered without hesitation, "If we had followed normal procedures, it would have taken us a lot of time to find out the spies. But those three people seemed to have received orders to gather information about His Majesty's situation, so they were caught..."
"Gathering information?"
ChenMo stroked his chin, his expression odd, "With the silver needles already inserted into the heart and lungs, it's a safe bet that Zhang Tianlin's plan has succeeded. Why would he go through all this trouble..."
