Su Cheng did as he said and changed into his night clothes that night.

Beforehe left, Wei Ting expressed that he wanted to go with him, but he was rejected by Su Cheng.

“It’s not like I’m going to kill anyone. I can do it alone. If there are too many people, I’ll be too big a target and be easily discovered.” Wei Ting muttered, “Are you sure that’s the reason?”

“Dad, put this on.” Su Xiaoxiao gave him her silver silk gloves.

Su Cheng had used them during the competition with Qin Jiang. He knew how powerful they were and put them on smoothly.

Su Xiaoxiao gave her father smedicine and hidden weapons to protect himself.

“Alright, alright. Keep the rest for yourself.”

He was just going to steal a pill. There was really no need for these things.

Su Xiaoxiao sobbed. “Dad, I can’t bear to part with you.”

Su Cheng said, “Givesomething practical, such as a red packet from His

Majesty of the Southern Wilderness.”

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand in a second. “Dad, goodbye!”

Su Cheng put on his official uniform as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial

City. He first openly entered the palace with the token.

The palace was divided into the front hall and the harem.

The front hall was where the court and ministers worked. After the Qianqing Gate north of the Qilin Hall was the harem.

Emperor Jing Xuan’s bedroom was located behind the Qianqing Gate.

Other than special periods, the imperial guards of the Imperial City Division could not enter the Qianqing Gate usually.

Su Cheng could only take the secret path.

He took advantage of the situation and flashed to a small bamboo garden in the front hall.

The entrance was there.

Seeing that there was no one around, he pulled open the grass-covered floor and crawled in.

Not long after, he arrived at Zhaoyang Hall.

He did not go up immediately. Instead, he gently knocked on the bed board above his head.

After waiting for half an hour, the Empress Dowager’s bed was pulled open. Bai Xihe looked at him with her long wet hair.

She was taking a bath just now.

Hearing the commotion under the bed, she knew that he was here. She immediately dressed up and asked the palace maid to pull off the bathtub.

There was a thin layer of water vapor on her jade-like skin, and her eyes were filled with water. She was like a fairy who had fallen to the mortal world and was indescribably beautiful.

Su Cheng cleared his throat and looked away. He cout from under the bed and helped her place the bed board. “Are you here to see me?”

Bai Xihe asked softly.

Su Cheng replied honestly, “I’m here to steal something.”

Bai Xihe was speechless.

Su Cheng left his official robe in the passageway and flashed out of Zhaoyang Hall in his night clothes.

Xiao Shunyang had been stripped of his status as King Rui today. Consort Zhao was worried that he would be sad, so she specially begged Emperor Jing Xuan to allow her son to talk to her in the bedroom.

Emperor Jing Xuan agreed.

Xiao Shunyang cout after dinner at Consort Zhao’s.

Before leaving the palace, he cto Bai Xihe’s bedroom. Just as he was about to greet Bai Xihe, he saw a figure flash out and quickly disappear into the night.

That figure was clearly a man!

Xiao Shunyang’s eyes darkened as he quickly chased after him! He was halfway through his chase when he was suddenly stopped.

“Second Brother!”

It was Princess Jingning.

Xiao Shunyang turned to look at her. “Jingning.”

Princess Jingning walked forward with the palace maid, Taozhi. “Did Second

Brother just cfrom Mother Zhao’s place?”

Xiao Shunyang looked in the direction where the man had escaped and clenched his fists. He said to Princess Jingning, “Ah, yes.”

princess Jingnlng said, “l neard about wnat nappened m tne tnrone room. wnat exactly is going on? I don’t believe that the Wei family will do anything to harm the Great Zhou, but I don’t believe that Second Brother will casually slander Wei Qing.”

Xiao Shunyang frowned and said gently, “There are sthings you don’t understand. The Wei family isn’t as simple as they seem.”

He didn’t want to deal with Jingning. He wanted to chase after that man.

Princess Jingning said, “Second Brother has always been the most upright brother in my heart. I don’t want Second Brother to have any misunderstandings with the Wei family.”

Xiao Shunyang patted her shoulder. “We’ll talk another day. Go back to the bedroom and rest first. I have something on, so I’ll leave first.” If he didn’t chase after him, that person would really escape far away!

“Second Brother!”

However, at this moment, Princess Hui An returned to the palace.

Xiao Shunyang was pestered by his sister for a while more. When he looked at that person again, there was no sign of him.

Emperor Jing Xuan’s bedroom was guarded by experts. Su Cheng squatted on a big tree not far away and waited for an opportunity.

At this moment, Eunuch Fu passed by under the tree with a food box.

Su Cheng jumped down without a word and pressed the dagger against his neck from behind. He deliberately said in a low voice, “Where is the pill Emperor Jing Xuan is eating?”

“In the State Preceptor’s Daoist temple. Go east and head south at the third fork. That was originally a small temple that His Majesty had turned into a Daoist temple. After entering, the second small alchemy room on the right is His Majesty’s exclusive alchemy room. His Majesty’s pills are all there!”

Eunuch Fu finished speaking in one breath.

Su Cheng had an indescribable expression.

Did Emperor Jing Xuan know that he was so loyal?

Had he thought of a hundred methods of torture for nothing?

According to the clues provided by Eunuch Fu, Su Cheng successfully arrived at the Daoist temple.

He was lucky today. The Imperial Preceptor had gone out.

He successfully infiltrated Emperor Jing Xuan’s alchemy room. There were no less than a hundred various pills inside, but only one type was placed in an exquisite brocade box. “This should be it.” Su Cheng went to get a pill.

Swoosh!

A poisonous needle suddenly shot out of the box.

Clang!

The poisonous needle bounced off the silver silk gloves. Su Cheng had lingering fears. “Fortunately, my daughter was prepared.”

He picked up the poisonous needle and quietly placed it back.

He was stabbed a few more times.

Aye, wearing silver silk gloves was just fun.

It was a little inconsistent with Tyrant Su’s style to leave after stealing something.

Su Cheng thought for a moment, took out the colorless and tasteless laxative medicine his daughter had given him, and sprinkled it on the pills in the brocade box.

On the other side, Ghostfear was ordered by his father to escort “Mr. Zhuge” back to Xiangyun Inn.

Ling Yun lay in his luxurious carriage, hugging the snack box and closing his eyes to rest.

Ghostfear rode his horse to the side and rolled his eyes.

When they passed by a quiet old street, a few unfamiliar auras suddenly surged over from all directions.

Ghostfear’s heart skipped a beat. He clamped his legs on the horse’s abdomen and jumped up, kicking down a masked assassin who was approaching.

The assassin fell heavily to the ground, but he did not fall to his death. Instead, he quickly got up.

Ghostfear narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not die after being attacked by him. He was not an ordinary assassin.

The four of them did not fight with Ghostfear. Instead, they rushed towards Ling Yun’s carriage.

Their target was “Zhuge Qing”!

Ghostfear flew down and fought fiercely with them.

These people had exchanged more than ten moves with him and their skills were comparable to the puppets of the Holy Maiden Temple.

When did such experts cto the Great Zhou?

They were a little troublesome, but they were not a match for Ghostfear.

Hence, they launched a strategy. Three of them held back Ghostfear while the other suddenly opened the curtain and raised his hand to grab Ling Yun out.

Ling Yun moved his fingertip and a pear blossom dart flew out, instantly cutting his throat.

His eyes widened in disbelief. “You… you are…”

In the next second, Ghostfear broke free from the three of them and pierced his sword through the attacker’s body.

However, Ghostfear clearly sensed that something was wrong.

This person… was already dead.

He drew his throat-slicing sword and the man fell facedown on the floor of the carriage.

At this moment, Wei Liulang and Wei Ting rushed over.

The others caught one and two escaped. The remaining one bit through his poison sac and committed suicide.

Wei Liulang quickly walked to the carriage and asked worriedly, “Brother, Mr.

Zhuge, are you alright?”

Ghostfear frowned at the dead assassin and then at the unscathed Ling Yun.

Ling Yun said innocently, “Aiya, I’m so afraid..”
