Chapter 277 (1/2)

The four of them quickly approached the brocade palace. Perhaps the four youths didn't feel that their actions were changing history.

Within the Embroidery Palace, Zhuge Liuyun walked quickly into a very large room. The room's arrangement was extremely strange. The room was round, and at first glance, it seemed to be completely empty.

However, it was not until he was in a daze that he saw clearly that the walls of the circular room were densely packed with candles.

The candles were small, each only as long as a finger.

The number of candles on the wall was incalculable.

But if you look closely, you will see that these candles are arranged in a certain order.

There were only two candles on the lowest level, and they were also the thickest. They were about as thick as a wrist and about a foot long.

The flames on the candles were steady, not even a flicker.

In the second row were fifteen candles, no different from ordinary candles.

The third row was filled with candles the size of a finger.

Zhuge Liuyun walked in quickly, staring at the second row of candles, and then her expression changed.

Five of the candles had gone out, and wisps of smoke were rising from the filaments.

””Who is it?””

Zhuge Liuyun turned around and left, instructing the man in black who was guarding outside not to let anyone in.

His footsteps were fast and windy.

Empress Dowager Su Qing lay warm on her bed, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. The matters at the Heavenly Awakening Sect were truly too upsetting.

He'd thought that in at most another half a year, all his opponents would no longer be his match.

But instead, she felt that this was a torment from the heavens.

She gently caressed her lower abdomen with a venomous look in her eyes.

””Back then, my father and mother gave all their love to my brother and sister. I was their first child, so why did they treat me like that?””

Obviously, everything belongs to me alone. Why do you insist on giving birth to those children to share with me?

””Back then, I only took one of my younger brother's things, but you all actually scolded me loudly … With such bias, you all will have to pay the price.””

Her voice became colder and colder. ””As long as I live, I will not let you live peacefully.””

Didn't you want to give birth to a son and allow the Zhao Kingdom to live for thousands of years?

After I take over the Yan Kingdom, when my Poison Armor Army succeeds, I will personally lead the army and slaughter your proud son.

””Zhao … it can be anyone's Zhao, but it must not be the Su Clan's Zhao.””

Zhuge Liuyun's footsteps pulled her out of her thoughts.

Empress Dowager Su sat up abruptly. ””What happened?””

Why are your footsteps so hurried? ””

Zhuge Liuyun said worriedly, ””I have already gathered all the guards outside your room to defend. I want to go out.””

All five of the Earth Poison Armors are dead. I want to see what's wrong with them.

Logically speaking, it should be impossible for someone to discover my Poison Armor Warrior's weakness so quickly.

Even if those five-word Poison Armor Warriors were defeated, they would at least be able to retreat.

But the candles were out, and that meant they were dead.

””This is very strange. Even a Small Perfection Stage powerhouse wouldn't be able to kill a full scale poison warrior. Something must have gone wrong.””

Empress Dowager Su stood up and grabbed Zhuge Liuyun's hand. ””Don't leave. I feel scared tonight, my right eyelid jumping up and down.””

If you leave, what if someone breaks in?

””Right now, most of the people are waiting in the underground palace. My heart isn't at ease.””

Zhuge Liuyun said, ””But if someone discovers the Poison Armor Warrior's weakness, I must get rid of this person as soon as possible. Otherwise, how will I execute my plan in the future?””

Empress Dowager Su hugged Zhuge Liuyun's waist. ””I'm not, I just won't let you go.””

””Even if you leave tomorrow morning, you are not allowed to leave tonight.””

Zhuge Liuyun stayed silent for a while, before sighing, ””Whatever, no matter how important those poison warriors are, they are not even a thousandth as important as you.””

They exist only to help you realize your dream and fulfill your wish.

””If you don't want me to leave, I won't leave. I'll stay here and watch over you.””

Empress Dowager Su rubbed her face against Zhuge Liuyun. ””I knew you were good to me, better than everyone else.””

Back then, when I first went to the Yan Kingdom to marry that fellow, during the grand ceremony, I saw the light in your eyes when you looked at me was different.

I thought then that you were much better than the man I had married.

””Because when he looked at me, there was disgust in his eyes.””

Zhuge Liuyun said worriedly, ””He knows what Zhao is thinking. He kicked you out of Zhao under the guise of a marriage alliance. He had no choice but to accept the alliance between Yan Zhao and the other countries, so he was naturally unhappy.””

Empress Dowager Su said, ””I don't need to worry about so many things. All I know is that among those people at that time, you were the only one who truly admired me.””

Zhuge Liuyun stroked Empress Dowager Su's hair. ””That's right. When I first saw you, I was already stunned.””

I was thinking, how could there be such a beautiful woman in this world?

You sat there and laughed, but I saw the sadness in your eyes.

At the time, I felt like my heart was cut. I just wanted to ask why you were unhappy and help you solve all your problems. ””

Empress Dowager Su hugged him and said, ””All these years, you've always done the same thing.””

That guy doesn't know how to pamper me, so you poison him and make him sick.

If I don't stop you, you can go to Zhao and kill them all.

However, what I want is not the life and death of a person, but the destruction of the State of Zhao … That year, the Prince of the Da Xi came over and said that he wanted to get rid of the chief of the Bright Law Academy.

Everyone was so scared that they didn't even dare to speak, only you standing by my side. ””
