Tie Xin, though also uneasy, looked at Long Xinghe with a hint of anger.
"Is the Eldest Princess trying to have both Prince Xuan and our Prince in her grasp?"
"What did you say?" Long Xinghe was startled. He had actually overheard this!
"Our Prince and Prince Xuan are like brothers, with deep affection. How could the two brothers share... share..."
Tie Xin couldn't finish his sentence, but his face had already turned beet red.
Long Xinghe threw him aside and said anxiously, "Wu Ya, I... you listen to me, I can explain!"
She quickly chased after him, but Feng Wu Ya's Qinggong was so good!
In the blink of an eye, he had truly vanished from sight!
Long Xinghe's Qinggong was not very good. She had only been in this era for a short time, and even if she wanted to learn Qinggong, she couldn't learn much for now.
"Where would Wu Ya go? Tell me quickly!"
Long Xinghe turned back and walked quickly to Tie Xin, saying urgently, "Your Prince has left, aren't you going to chase after him?"
"The Prince's Qinggong is superb, where can I chase him?"
However, Tie Xin seemed to have already decided to leave. If Long Xinghe hadn't returned, he would have left by now.
"Could Wu Ya have returned to the Prince's manor?"
"Impossible, General Wei Qiong is like that to the Prince..." Tie Xin said angrily, "The Prince would definitely not go back alone, unless Miss Chu returns!"
"Then where could he go?"
"I don't know!" Tie Xin pushed her away and said angrily, "I'm going to find the Prince now!"
With that, without waiting for Long Xinghe's response, he immediately rushed towards the back door of the Princess's mansion.
"Princess!" Jiang Tao quickly came over and looked at Tie Xin's retreating back, frowning, "This person is too rude, should we apprehend him?"
How dare he push their Princess, he was simply tired of living!
"Never mind him, quickly! Take people to find Wu Ya!"
Long Xinghe thought about it, but she couldn't figure out where Feng Wu Ya might be at this moment.
Finally, she turned and walked towards the door, "I'll go find him myself!"
...
Late at night, all was quiet.
In Long Tian Liu's sleeping quarters, it was so quiet that one could almost hear a silver needle drop to the floor.
Outside were guarding maids.
The maids of Her Majesty the Empress were all masters.
But as the figure in plain white swept past, those masters still fell silently.
His martial arts were rarely used in front of others.
But how could the son that Consort Yu had carefully raised for over twenty years be lacking?
Soon, the figure in plain white lightly landed in front of the screen.
He held a long sword and walked behind the screen, but he did not immediately assassinate the person on the bed. Instead, he stared at her for a long time.
Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty the Empress, are you awake?"
Long Tian Liu turned over on the bed and then slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing the figure in front of the bed, her mood was somewhat complicated, but she did not seem to be too surprised or astonished.
"Why didn't you kill me while I was sound asleep? You startled me awake, aren't you afraid I'll kill you back?"
She sat up, her gaze fixed on the man's face.
Through the veil, his face appeared even more elusive.
Lifting the veil, his face clearly fell into her sight.
Long Tian Liu sighed in her heart.
Such a stunningly handsome man, rarely seen in the mortal world?
"Everyone outside is my person, as long as I call out softly, the imperial guards can rush in immediately."
Her gaze was tightly locked on him, and there was not much anger, only some confusion.
"Wu Ya, you still haven't answered me, you want to kill me, but why did you wake me up?"
"I hate taking advantage of others!" Feng Wu Ya said coldly.
He tightened his grip on the long sword and walked forward slowly.
Although he walked very slowly, this distance did not prevent him from making a move.
As long as he leaped, he could instantly reach Long Tian Liu's side.
"Wu Ya, why do you want to kill me?" Long Tian Liu seemed unfazed by his approach.
"Long Zi Yue has not come out since entering the palace, what exactly have you done to her?"
"You are here for Long Zi Yue?" This was somewhat unexpected for Long Tian Liu.
"She is my friend, and also Ah Li's confidante! You imprisoned Ah Li and harmed Zi Yue, I will not let you go!"
Feng Wu Ya seemed to be talking a lot tonight.
With a swish, he raised his long sword, the tip pointing at Long Tian Liu's face.
"Long Tian Liu, take your life!"
Long Tian Liu remained motionless, staring at the long sword that instantly appeared before her.
But just as the sword tip was about to pierce her, she suddenly raised her hand and pinched it with her long fingers.
The sword tip was actually caught between her fingers, unable to move any further.
"You only used thirty percent of your power, were you trying to test my martial arts, or are you reluctant to kill me?"
Long Tian Liu still sat upright.
A slight sheen of sweat broke out on Feng Wu Ya's forehead.
At first, he had indeed only used thirty percent of his power.
But the moment the sword tip was caught by the other party, he had already put fifty percent of his power into the sword's edge.
But it was still useless against Long Tian Liu!
Not even a single scratch!
Feng Wu Ya's expression changed slightly, and he forcefully exerted his grip, channeling eighty percent of his power directly at Long Tian Liu's face.
Long Tian Liu remained motionless, and her protective aura instantly expanded the moment she felt the sword energy pressing towards her face.
Feng Wu Ya felt his wrist go numb, and his meridians felt as if they had been instantly severed.
In just a moment, his face turned as pale as paper, and with a gasp, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His slender body was sent flying by Long Tian Liu's protective aura,
He crashed against the screen with a bang, falling to the ground along with it, unable to get up for a while.
Blood trickled down the corners of his lips, staining his pale face and silver hair.
His injured appearance was as beautiful as a white lotus stained with blood.
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch An heard the commotion and rushed over immediately.
He was about to apprehend the assassin.
But Long Tian Liu commanded in a deep voice, "Do not harm him!"
Eunuch An suddenly stopped in his tracks and only then did he clearly see that the person lying on the ground was the stunningly handsome man in white with silver hair, Feng Wu Ya!
"Prince Xiaoyao?" Eunuch An was astonished, "You... you actually attempted to assassinate Her Majesty!"
Immediately, his face changed color!
"Your Majesty, this person has ill intentions, he cannot be kept! Let your subordinate kill him!"
"No." Long Tian Liu stood up and walked slowly towards Feng Wu Ya.
Feng Wu Ya was still struggling, trying to get up.
But he had been injured by Long Tian Liu's aura just now, and now he didn't even have the strength to get up.
This body was already carrying injuries and illnesses, and now with added injury upon injury, he was more severely wounded than an ordinary person.
But he still held his long sword tightly, unwilling to let go even though his tiger's mouth was in severe pain.
Long Tian Liu walked up to him, her expressionless face about to squat down.
Eunuch An said anxiously, "Your Majesty, he has a sword in his hand, Your Majesty be careful!"
They had known long ago that Feng Wu Ya had ill intentions towards His Majesty. They had come to Long Teng to join forces with Prince Ding to deal with His Majesty!
This man could not be kept!
Eunuch An's palm was filled with true qi. Ignoring Long Tian Liu's obstruction, he struck Feng Wu Ya's heart with a palm...
