Chapter 175 Yaksha's Grudge (56)

The Grand Tutor's mansion.

"Master, should we go back to find the Princess Consort now?"

Hearing this, a coldness appeared in Yue Bei Yang's eyes. Wu Han felt his master's displeasure and became somewhat nervous. The master's expression had been quite unpleasant since he left the Grand Tutor's mansion.

"No need!"

Yue Bei Yang felt his mind was in chaos, and his heart was also in turmoil.

Just now, Chu Ming had cured his amnesia, but it had also made him agitated. He had done so many absurd things during his period of amnesia!

Yue Bei Yang's heart was filled with melancholy. The thought of Xing Ru made him feel vexed, and for a moment, he didn't know how to face that woman. Thus, he said to Wu Han, "Go to the training grounds!"

In the past, he would live in the training grounds when he didn't return to the Second Prince's mansion. As the name suggests, the training grounds were a place for practicing martial arts, but he had treated it as his residence.

Wu Han had no choice but to say, "Yes!"

"Host!"

The system's voice woke Qin Jiujiu from her sleep. Her first reaction was to check beside her. Xie Jing was nowhere to be seen. Her heart suddenly sank, and her face showed displeasure.

"What is it?" Qin Jiujiu's tone was unhappy. Being woken up in the middle of the night, her voice was still hoarse. In her sleepy state, she naturally didn't have a good attitude.

The system had better give her a reason!

"Host, a major turning point in the plot! Please, Host, complete the mission immediately—stop Yue Nan Sang's death!"

Qin Jiujiu was initially taken aback when she heard this mission. It wasn't until the system's words replayed in her mind that she suddenly came to her senses and asked, "What? How can this be stopped?"

"This is your mission! Please, Host, try your best to complete it, so that you can break the illusion!"

Although Qin Jiujiu hadn't figured out the connection between this mission and breaking the illusion, the system's tone was urgent. She could only brace herself and say, "Where is the plot progressing now?"

"King Yue is on his deathbed. The Queen, Chu Ming, and Xing Zhan are all stirring..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiujiu said, "These three all have some connection with Yue Bei Yang..."

Could tonight be the night of great upheaval in the Yue King's palace?

The system seemed to have heard her thoughts and quickly replied, "Yes!"

Soon, shouts could be heard from outside the door, mixed with the sounds of swords and human screams. Qin Jiujiu looked towards the door, which was initially dark, but now flashes of fire could be seen intermittently.

This Yue King's palace was indeed in chaos.

"Princess Consort!"

Ade's voice came from outside the door. Qin Jiujiu quickly got up to open it. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ade with a face full of anxiety. Even the purple veil she usually wore on her face was gone.

It must be that she had been startled awake from her sleep.

"What is happening outside?"

Ade replied anxiously, "I heard that King Yue has passed away. Some people have seized the opportunity to rebel. The palace is in great chaos right now!"

Then Ade said, "General Xing Zhan will definitely enter the palace to protect His Majesty. Why don't you, Princess Consort, take this opportunity to escape the palace and find the General?"

Even if Ade hadn't said it, Qin Jiujiu was going to go out, but not to find Xing Zhan, but to find Yue Nan Sang at Lan Hall.

"Ade, you go back to the General's mansion first. I need to find Sang Sang!"

A flicker of shock crossed Ade's face, and then she said, "Ade will accompany the Princess Consort!"

"No! Listen to me, escape to the General's mansion. I'll go by myself!"

Qin Jiujiu's gaze was firm, and Ade naturally could not insist further. "Then, Princess Consort, you must be very careful!"

Qin Jiujiu walked ahead, and Ade followed behind her. Before she could take her first step, she was knocked unconscious from behind. That person could only be Ade!

But why?

Qin Jiujiu had already fallen unconscious. Ade caught the fainting Qin Jiujiu, helped her up, and took out a whistle from her sleeve. With a gentle blow, a man in black suddenly appeared before them.

"Mission accomplished!"

The man in black took Qin Jiujiu from Ade's hands. Ade looked at Qin Jiujiu, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes. But it was only for a moment, and soon she was expressionless.

The man in black glanced at her. Seeing that she was expressionless, he then carried Qin Jiujiu on his shoulder and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Master, the palace is in chaos..."

Yue Bei Yang had a dream. In his dream, Xing Ru died in front of him, even dying by Xing Zhan's sword. But, how could this be? She was Xing Zhan's only daughter!

Xing Ru was Xing Zhan's most beloved daughter! How could she die by Xing Zhan's sword? Yue Bei Yang asked himself repeatedly, as if only in this way could he convince himself that it was just a dream.

The noise outside woke him. This dream was incomplete, and perhaps because of this dream, he felt a severe headache, as if it were about to explode. Yue Bei Yang pressed his temples.

He shouted towards the door, "Wu Han!"

Wu Han quickly appeared before him.

Yue Bei Yang's eyes were scarlet. Wu Han looked at his master in this state and quickly reported, "Master, the outside is in chaos!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Yue Bei Yang immediately got up, put on his clothes and shoes, and headed towards the door.

"Where is the Princess Consort?"

He thought of the dream and felt a chill, and subconsciously asked about Xing Ru's situation.

Wu Han thought for a moment. At this time, the Princess Consort should be in the Second Prince's mansion, or perhaps she had already returned to the General's mansion. This was what he thought, and this was what he said.

Yue Bei Yang's heart did not calm down upon hearing this. The dream was still vivid, her image lying in a pool of blood, so shocking.

Yue Bei Yang's eyes turned redder, and the ferocity on his body grew even heavier.

"She is Xing Zhan's daughter. Xing Zhan will surely protect her!"

He muttered to himself, but the sense of emptiness in his heart grew even heavier. He deliberately ignored the unease in his heart and asked, "Where is the Princess?"

Wu Han remained silent. It was the Queen and Xing Zhan's people who were instigating this turmoil. As long as the little princess did not fall into Xing Zhan's hands, she would naturally be safe.

However, Xing Zhan was ambitious, and it was inevitable that he would kidnap the little princess as a bargaining chip to threaten the Queen and the Second Prince.

Although the Second Prince had some connection with these rebels, he only learned of this matter now. None of these people considered him one of their own.

"First go to Lan Hall!"

As he said this, Yue Bei Yang's heart suddenly ached. This emotion came from the depths of his heart. He paused but skillfully hid his abnormality, and then headed towards Lan Hall. Kuai Shu Ge

Yue Nan Sang had stood in front of him countless times. This time, he would stand in front of her no matter what and protect her!

"Your Majesty, Xing Ru has been brought!"

Ade knelt before the Yue King's Queen, her gaze falling on the Yue King lying on the bed. The Yue King's hair was disheveled, his face and lips were pale, and he had indeed passed away.

The Yue King's Queen, abandoning her usual gentleness tonight, wore a dark red phoenix robe. The golden hairpin on her head emitted a dazzling light, fully displaying her charm.

The Yue King's Queen stood by the bedside, looking at Ade kneeling on the ground. Her crimson lips moved, and a triumphant smile curved at the corner of her mouth.
