Chapter 204 - 202. Suspicion II (2/2)
Lu Ping: ”With Her Majesty Empress beside you, she couldn't do anything. That Murong Qing is brainless, but she is clever enough to use the smart Yunru to map out everything.”
It was very obvious that Hong er won over Murong Qing in all aspects. Hong er is a great fighter and strategist, what's more, she got several powerful backups like her own husband, Lu Cixi and Lu family, Xu family, etc.
Therefore by separating the target from its group would be the easiest way to deal with. Wei Yunru used the tsunami accident as an excuse to lure out Lu Cixi from the Royal Palace. Leaving no choice for Lu Cixi, she had to go while Weisheng and Lu Ping went to war.
However, Hong er herself is extremely powerful and they had to take that power out from her. By using Xu Tingfeng as the bait, Hong er would easily fall into their trap and would definitely move her soldiers to assist Xu Tingfeng. With that, she would be left with less power than she had normally.
Weisheng's face paled from the disclosure, he realized that he had made a huge mistake for leaving the pregnant Hong er alone in the Royal Palace. He thought that as long as she was in the Royal Palace and protected with his elite forces would be sufficient.
Lu Ping: ”You have to go back to Chang-”
Before Lu Ping could finish his sentence, a black lightning suddenly struck behind Weisheng. A huge black portal materialized in front of their eyes.
Weisheng's heart started to beat vigorously as he knew that only one person could summon this black hole. And the only reason this black portal appeared was….

Xu Tingfeng was leaning on the cold wall while Bai Huiqing sat on his lap hugging his large body. They were locked up in an old dungeon that hasn't been used for a decade so the floor and the wall were covered in dust and spider web.
However, that wasn't the problem. The biggest problem was they were not provided with food. The guards only gave them a bowl of muddy water for the two of them. Furthermore, they were in the middle of winter and they only wore a few thin layers of clothes.
As Xu Tingfeng was trained in the worst and most dangerous place, he probably could survive this cold torture until the aid arrives but not with Bai Huiqing. She was a shut-in person who was obsessed with creating magic tools. And to add it, her body became more fragile after she gave birth to Hong er.
Now, she was trembling profusely in Xu Tingfeng's embrace with her face ghastly pale. Xu Tingfeng tried to use his fire magic to warm her up, but to no avail, the whole dungeon was cast with a magic barrier that restricts them from using magic.
The other elite forces including Song Tao were also waiting for the aid to come quicker with their hearts burning with towering rage to kill off all the Long royal family.
Xu Tingfeng: ”Qing er, hold on a bit more. They are on their way here.”
Xu Tingfeng took Bai Huiqing's hands and rubbed it with his rough hands. Bai Huiqing weakly nodded her head as her lips trembled.
Then out of nowhere, a sound of bird chirping was heard. The corner of Xu Tingfeng's lips arched into an evil grin. Xu Tingfeng coughed loudly and caused the guards to flinch.
Guard 1: ”No matter how strong he is, he will die sooner or later.”
Guard 2: ”Just ignore them. And how the hell there is a bird in here.”
Guard 1: ”Maybe they came in from the ventilati-”
Blood spurted out from the guard's neck before he could finish his last word. At the same time, the other guard also dropped down to the ground with his neck snapped. A dozen of black-clothed people wan down the stairs and swiftly unlocked the bars for Xu Tingfeng and the other elite forces.
P1: ”Second Young Master, Third Young Master is waiting outside. Any further instruction?”
Xu Tingfeng glanced at the trembling Bai Huiqing and gritted his teeth.
Xu Tingfeng: ”Retreat for now.”
