"Don't!" Hua Xue'er shouted angrily. Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers rushed in. Apparently, they were the soldiers from the palace.
"Humph, you little bitch. Why are you here?" Gao Quan stared at her fiercely with his sharp eyes. "Do you know that your elder brother, the emperor, is done for and come here to court death?"
"Pah! Even if you die, my elder brother won't!" Hua Xue'er retorted firmly. "Gao Quan, I've long known that you have wild ambitions. I never thought that you would collude with the King of Rui to plot against the emperor. Today, I'll execute justice on behalf of the heavens!"
Hua Xue'er lowered her head, her eyes filled with more hatred. Today, she received a secret letter that fully revealed Gao Quan's scheme and the fact that the King of Rui used poisonous insects to control the soldiers. Moreover, there was even an antidote against the poisonous insects in the letter.
After giving the antidote to the soldiers, she immediately led people here to rescue the emperor.
"Slut! How dare you curse me? Do you think these few soldiers can resist me?" Gao Quan looked at Hua Xue'er with disdain in his eyes. "I'll tell you, I've already made an agreement with the Qiangdi tribe. Now, they've already attacked outside the capital. You'd better surrender."
"Are you really that sure?" Hua Yueye stared coldly at Gao Quan in front of him and said sarcastically, "It seems that you're over - confident. To be honest, I've secretly poisoned the new leader of the Qiangdi tribe and invited his wife to the palace. I'm afraid they won't dare to act rashly."
Hua Yueye stared at Gao Quan and watched his face turn pale and the color fade from his lips bit by bit.
At that moment, Hua Yueye finally felt that the hatred in his heart was slowly subsiding.
"Impossible! This is a secret. How could you know about it and come up with counter - measures? You must be lying!" Until now, Gao Quan still refused to believe it. He shook his head, and there was obvious panic in his eyes.
"Ning Yunqing, kill him for me!" Gao Quan shouted frantically. At the same time, he suddenly pushed Ning Yunqing.
Hearing this, Ning Yunqing curled his lips, his eyes full of hatred. Then, he raised his long arrow.
"Ning Yunqing, you bastard! Do you really want to kill my elder brother?" Hua Xue'er gritted her teeth. She never knew that Ning Yunqing was such a person. Did he really give up his integrity and beliefs for wealth and honor and point his weapon directly at Hua Yueye?
She stood in front of Hua Yueye heart - brokenly and said firmly, "I'll never allow you to hurt my elder brother!"
After knowing each other for so long, she still didn't trust him. Ning Yunqing felt a bitter emotion spreading in his heart. He forced a smile and looked at her sadly with his eyes. "Princess, I've been following you every day, but you've never even bothered to give me a glance. You can't even recognize my handwriting."
"What?" This sentence clearly stumped Hua Xue'er. She stood there stupidly, and her heart suddenly ached. Why did Ning Yunqing say that? Was the letter sent by him?
"Good! Ning Yunqing, you're the traitor!" Gao Quan reacted faster. His eyes suddenly widened. He stared at Ning Yunqing fiercely and immediately raised his weapon to deal with him.
Ning Yunqing made a prompt decision. He immediately turned around and pointed the long arrow at Gao Quan's throat. With his other hand, he grabbed Gao Quan's throat and exerted force secretly. "Gao Quan, do you think I really obey you? Dream on! I've just been collecting evidence of your crimes. Tell your men to put down their weapons immediately, or I'll make you suffer right now!"
As he said this, he increased the force on his hand.
Hua Xue'er watched this scene, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She was wrong. She was really terribly wrong. Ning Yunqing had always been a good person, but she had suspected him and attacked him with the most unpleasant words. It was really too much.
She clenched her fingers tightly, feeling a sudden pain in her heart.
"Don't even think about it!" Gao Quan's body trembled slightly. He was still having the pipe dream of becoming the emperor, but now he was caught. How could he not be angry!
"Really? You still refuse to repent even when you're on the verge of death. Then I don't need to show you any mercy!" Ning Yunqing sneered and gradually increased the force on his hand.
Suddenly, a sense of suffocation came over. Gao Quan grabbed Ning Yunqing's hand with one hand and struggled constantly. His face had become extremely pale, and then he closed his eyes with difficulty.
"You..." Hua Xue'er suddenly saw a familiar figure appear beside her. Although the person was wearing a soldier's uniform, she recognized him at a glance. It was Shen Lingyun.
She exclaimed and subconsciously walked towards the other person. "Brother Lingyun, why are you here?"
Hearing this name, Su Qingwen couldn't help but shiver. Goosebumps almost covered her body. Then, she took a step forward, trying to stop Hua Xue'er from going over.
However, Hua Xue'er walked too fast, and Su Qingwen failed to intercept her.
"Brother Lingyun, why are you here?" Hua Xue'er looked at the man in front of her in shock, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"I was worried that something might happen to you, so I came to check." Shen Lingyun squinted his eyes and then raised his hand as if he wanted to touch Hua Xue'er's face.
For some reason, Hua Xue'er was a bit resistant to his touch now. She was slightly stunned and subconsciously took a step back, avoiding his hand. She frowned slightly.
"Shen Lingyun, what do you want to do?" Su Qingwen knew clearly that he was not a good person. He came here suddenly and must have had ill intentions. She stepped forward quickly and questioned him.
"What do I want to do?" Shen Lingyun sneered, showing a sinister expression. His originally gentle and jade - like face was now covered with malice. He grabbed Hua Xue'er in front of him and pinched her vital point. "Naturally, it's to kill Hua Yueye!"
"What?" Hua Xue'er was like a puppet being controlled by others. She stared at him in disbelief with wide eyes. Shen Lingyun actually wanted to kill her elder brother. How could this happen?
"Silly girl, do you really think I like you?" Shen Lingyun pressed his lips against her ear, as if whispering between lovers, but the words he said were chilling. "I've just been using you to make Ning Yunqing sad."
"You..." Realizing how stupid a mistake she had made, Hua Xue'er's tears fell uncontrollably. She clenched her fists tightly and said word by word, "Shen Lingyun, you're a liar! I'll kill you!"
