Chapter 264 – The Person Who Put Poison (1/2)

The Sky began to get brighter. And in front of Cold Cliff, many high-level guards were standing there. The Palace happened to be a lot more heavily guarded than the Lin family. It was already difficult for a middle-level assassin to get in, let alone when you’re carrying someone with you.

The real test only began now.

Cold Cliff had no fear at all. He took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with a horrifying and captivating beam. Without entering from the main gate, he tried to avoid the patrolling guards and stood above the wall that’s about ten meters high. After pointing his feet, he jumped up with Lin Xiao and stood on top of the high wall. After a quick look, he jumped again and leaped forward for ten more meters. Like an eagle, he crouched on a small pavilion. The guards who were standing between the pavilion and the Palace didn’t find out at all.

Ye Wuchen once told Cold Cliff that there were three important guards around Long Yin. As they were with Long Yin all the time, it was nearly impossible to get near to his bedroom unnoticed. Also, the high-level guards at the Palace could also quickly discover the energy released by anyone trying to get near.

Cold Cliff tried to remember firmly the map of the Palace. After another quick glance, he chose to leap forward while stepping on the roof. This was a risky move as it’s easy to be noticed if he made any sound. However, such is also the safest way if he could complete the whole action in silence.It’s because the guards usually didn’t check out the roof.

Cold Cliff could complete such action without any issues. Not only did he land without a sound, like a feather, but Lin Xiao didn’t make any sound either. It’s very difficult to reach this level.

Cold Cliff continued moving quickly inside the Palace. Every time he jumped up, he tried as quickly as he could. A few guards seemed to have seen a dark shadow. However, they thought they were just having an illusion.

As time slowly passed by, the Sky was getting brighter. It was soon 5am. Long Yin was about to step out from his bedroom to go to Tianlong Hall. He saw a eunuch approaching in a panic, “The Emperor…Xiao Tao just told me that…that…”

“What is it? Just say it. Don’t stutter.” Long Yin was angry.

The eunuch swallowed before uttering his words, “she told me that…she saw a shadow entering the Empress’ bedroom. She thought it was an assassin, and she went to scream for help from the guards. Just when she approached her bedroom. She heard…” The eunuch began to shiver.

“It’s that noise…”

Long Yin’s face became dark, and the eunuch continued with a lot of fear, “well…no one knows what went wrong…I am begging the Emperor to…” Long Yin trembled, and his face went pale. He bit his lip, “Black Bear, follow me!”

The Xiu Ning Palace, where the Empress Lin Xiu lived, was exceptionally quiet at this time. None of the four maids stayed in the Palace. Instead, they all stood outside. The guards stood outside the Palace looked uneasy. They kept walking back and forth.

Long Yin, who looked serious, came in with Black Bear. The maids and guards hurriedly went forward to greet him. Without hearing what they said, Long Yin instantly entered the Palace. Everyone was extremely nervous, and they kept sweating.

Long Hao went straight to the bedroom of Empress Lin Xiu and kicked open the door. He almost fell and Black Bear hurried forward to support him. Long Yin yelled while point at the door that’s shut tightly, “smash it!”

“Oh…okay.” Black Bear immediately moved forward and slammed open the door with his fist. After a loud noise, that hard wooden door was immediately smashed to pieces. Using just one hand, Black Bear easily removed the whole door plank.

Long Yin fiercely stepped in. For a moment, his face went dark as charcoal and he didn’t speak for a long moment. “Oh my!” Black Bear yelled and turned away his head, “I saw nothing…my mother told me that I must not look at other women’s bodies before marriage.”

Perhaps the movement was too tense, the quilt had been kicked under the bed.Two naked bodies were hugging each other. After such a loud noise, the two people slowly opened their eyes, looking at everyone in front of them, seeing themselves naked.
