122 Chapter 122 Burn (2/2)

”Boss realizes that it's not her place to burn right?” Xiao Tianshi said awkwardly.

Rui just shrug his shoulders and replied. ”She have to make an extreme move equivalent to her extreme decision.” Xiao Tianshi cannot argue with that. Her boss is killing an empress of a country after all.

”Lian'er!” When Lin Xulian finally arrived at their meeting spot, she instantly fell unto her knees. Rui and Xiao Tianshi immediately supported her up and noticed that she is unusually pale and cold.

”Boss! What happened to you?” Xiao Tianshi asked worriedly.

”It's nothing dangerous. I just used up a lot of my remaining internal energy.” Lin Xulian said while catching her breath.

Rui lowered himself in front of Lin Xulian. ”Lian'er, get on my back. We need to leave as fast as we can. I can feel several imperial guards going towards this direction.”

Lin Xulian looked back on the burning Phoenix Palace for the last time and thought. 'When I return, I am no longer the empress. But I promise to make the persons who ruined everything pay for what they did.' Lin Xulian climbed onto Rui's back and the three of them took off.

On the other side of the palace, Hu Hai is holding unto his bleeding shoulder while running towards the Phoenix Palace's direction. Five months ago he went into the palace to inform Lin Xulian about their discovery. But he found someone else. 'Damn it! To think that the traitors from the Qiangdu is behind it. They purposely made me chase them then trap me for months. Who is their ally here outside? It is emperor Feng? That's unlikely. But what are they doing here in Gonglu country?'

Then Hu Hai halt because of the chaos that greeted him when he finally arrived at the Phoenix Palace. The palace is burning! He hid himself and listened to the servants running about. ”Quick! The Empress is still inside! Save the empress!”

Hu Hai gaped in shock. 'The mistress?! Am I too late? How am I gonna tell this to the King?!'
