The Emperor wanted her to detoxify. Why not invite her in Lord Ming Mansion, but abduct her after she left there?

Why not bring her to the bedroom of Concubine Dan? Moving a poisoned person around was equivalent to killing her!

Emperor Tianlong took the great effort to bring her here was absolutely not to make the concubine die soon, but to kill Ruan Jiujiu here.

After she secretly detoxified the concubine, then he could secretly kill her here.

Detoxify? No, it was a murder.

“My Emperor, there is nothing I can do for the concubine.”

“Why? You don’t know how to detoxify Wusi poison?” The Emperor asked with some asperity.

“Yes, I can!” She replied affirmatively, but then added in a same affirmative way, “But I cannot do that now!”

The Emperor felt his patience had reached the limit, “Why?”

“Because I don’t have the permission of Lord Ming,” She replied seriously, and also signed quietly, indicating that she did want to save her life but without permission.

Her sign completely irritated the Emperor.

Without the permission from Lord Ming? His imperial edict was inferior to Beiming Xuan’s permission?

“Ruan Jiujiu, I am the king here!”

He was in rage now, glaring at her with furious anger, which was on the verge of explosion.

Commonly, a normal person would be frightened by his anger, but except Ruan Jiujiu.

There was no such so-called imperial power or momentum in her cognition at all.

More over, why should she respect someone who intended to kill her? She was a doctor, and what a doctor cherishes most is life, including his own life.

And Ruan Jiujiu didn’t have any respect for an emperor who never took others’ lives seriously.

But now she was controlled by guards here, and there was no way out, so what she could do was to frame Beiming Xuan with it.

And whether the Emperor would blame him or not was none of her business.

She bravely looked at the Emperor, and said earnestly, “I know you are the only king in our country, but since I have been the maiden of Lord Ming, I must follow his command.”

In case the Emperor would not die by anger, she added, “I know you and Lord Ming are brothers, and Lord Ming is a man of great insight, so he cares about nobody.”

In case the Emperor would not die by anger, she added, “I know you and Lord Ming are brothers, and Lord Ming is a man of great insight, so he cares about nobody, and I think you may be this kind too.”

A man of great insight, and cared about nobody, also including you, Emperor Tianlong.

Her remarks silenced the whole palace.

Nobody dared to say a single word, because they all knew that her words really hurt the Emperor’s esteem.

“How dare you!” The Emperor’s roar is like a thunder, making everyone tremble. He was completely in fury now.

He continued roaring, “ Drag her out, out!”

The guards rushed in and dragged her out.

Once she got out, she was amazed at what she found.

There were countless guards outside.

Did he take her too seriously?

But she denied this idea at once.

He was taking Beiming Xuan very seriously.

All of these guards were against Beiming Xuan, and in the eyes of the Emperor, Ruan Jiujiu was a delicate girl, and killing her was as easy as stepping on an ant.

Now she really felt like an ant in his hand. Although she held the golden needle in her hand, the guards around made her unable to help but ask herself --

Where should I start!

She originally thought she could get chance to escape outside the palace after irritating the Emperor.

But now, how?

She visually inspected that there were about hundreds of them.

So how could she run away?

Even if she could get away, here was the imperial palace, which was the home of the Emperor.

So Ruan Jiujiu a bit regretted that she pissed the Emperor off.

Was there any remedy?

But when seeing Emperor Tianlong who followed behind her, she felt no one could save her now.

Because the Emperor looked like extremely angry, and his eyes were blazing with fury.

“My Emperor, how to deal with her?” The guards asked for further instruction.

He glared at Ruan Jiujiu.

From the city to the present, his anger was already on the verge of explosion, and Ruan Jiujiu’s words made it worse, so at this high time, he would care nothing anymore; even his concubine or the clues of Wusi poison could not stop him from killing her.

“You guys, kill...”

He meant to kill her, but when he said out the word “kill”, the atmosphere around suddenly silenced.

No one dared to say at first, and now this place was dead.

The sound of slow steps came, and the Emperor suddenly stunned when he figured out who was here.

Beiming Xuan?

He was in black, and his face was cool, noble and arrogant, exuding an air of icy cold.

Emperor Tianlong was frozen, and the guards around knelt down and shouted,

“Long live Lord Ming!”

Their shout made him immediately realized that it was Beiming Xuan who was standing a few steps away.

“My brother, why are you here?” He tried to open his mouth to ask, and felt like losing his breath. In case Beiming Xuan came here, he specially arranged hundreds guards here to stop him.

But it seemed that his strategy was useless.

Where were the other guards?
