C89 (1/2)

The atmosphere of the entire Imperial Study was so cold that it caused one to not dare make a sound.

The Eunuch Chen served right beside the Emperor An and he could most intuitively feel the anger that came from the Emperor An.

He silently wiped the sweat from his palms, not knowing what the result of today's battle would be.

Plop!

The sound of Su Li's body collapsing on the ground broke the silence.

She started to cough violently, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

His face was pale and the corners of his lips were smeared with blood. His eyes were closed limply, and he seemed to be on the verge of death.

Seeing that, Mo Lianjin's heart stopped, he sat on the ground and hugged Su Li tightly.

Su Li's brain became a ball as she gritted her teeth due to the intense pain. She had no choice but to hold on as she looked at Emperor An who was on the high seat.

”Your Majesty, this subject's daughter did not disappoint you. She has investigated the whereabouts of the culprit … ”Cough …”

Emperor An clenched his fingers, ”Speak!”

His voice was quite loud, so loud that it caused one's eardrums to tremble.

Su Li retracted his gaze, bit his lips, and did not say a word.

She was betting her life on it. The Emperor An wanted her to die more, but he wanted to see the whereabouts of the criminal and consolidate the divine right.

Mo Lianjin reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. Although she did not speak, her eyes were frighteningly cold, and the pressure around her body was frighteningly low!

”Speak!”

Even Eunuch Chen, who often stayed by the Monarch's side, was so shocked by this word that he trembled.

But Su Li and Mo Lianjin remained silent.

One of them was in so much pain that his face distorted, while the other was freezing cold.

Who could stop the wrath of the Son of Heaven?

However, the two of them managed to hold on …

Pow!

Emperor An slammed the table, his eyes staring angrily, veins popping all over his face.

”Speak first, then we'll give you the antidote.”

Su Li met his sinister gaze, enunciating each word clearly, ”This subject has the guts to give the antidote to the Emperor first.”

Emperor An's heart stopped, looking at how Su Li was about to die from the poison, if he did not give her the antidote, the murderer's whereabouts …

His gaze landed on Mo Lianjin.

”If Su Li disobeys the decree, she deserves to die. If you investigate the case together with her, what she knows, you will naturally know as well...”

Hearing this, Su Li's already pale face became even more frighteningly white.

Even though she had planned for this to happen, she missed out on Mo Lianjin's existence!

Even if she died, Emperor An would have ways to find out the whereabouts of Tang Rufeng from Mo Lianjin's mouth.

Chess still lacked one move.

But just as that thought surfaced, Mo Lianjin who was holding her suddenly raised his hand.

The dagger slashed through the air with a cold light, and with a 'chi' sound, it pierced into the man's chest.

Su Li's originally closed eyelids were propped up in an instant.

His eyes were cold with undisguised sharpness. As he held the saber in one hand, the tip of the blade was three inches deep into his chest. Even so, he did not even furrow his brows. His expression was one of insanity and decisiveness.

”This son of mine does not seek to live together with her, but rather, seeks to die together.”

”You …” Emperor An suddenly stood up and pointed at Mo Lianjin, ”You unfilial son …”

After a loud roar, Emperor An fell onto the Dragon Throne as his hands formed claws and grabbed onto the armrest.

Just as Mo Lianjin was about to stab the dagger deeper into the ground, Su Li grabbed onto his hand weakly, ”Don't …”

”With This King accompanying you, are you not so afraid of death?”
