Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 423: Accusations
Mei Chengting hurried to the side of Emperor Chongwen. Although it was Northern Liao soldiers who surrounded Shangjing, any discerning person could understand that it was Northern Liao Emperor Hong who was supporting Yin Luo and thereby helping Emperor Chongwen to quell the rebellion of Prince Yuan Jin.

After all, everyone knows that on the day when Emperor Hong attacked the Northern Liao Arrow Tower, Emperor Chongwen issued an oral order to borrow troops to help.

The Royal Guards, who were not restrained by the bandits outside the city, poured into the palace in large numbers, separating Ming Zhidu from the bandits behind him.

Then, Ming Zhidu looked ahead and walked into Pingyangyuan.

He was disdainful of Minghe's sudden appearance, but since Minghe appeared, his eyes never looked away.

"I knew you were not dead yet." The prince in white was not panicked by this change. On the contrary, he remained calm and walked to the center of Pingyang Courtyard leisurely, then tilted his head to look at Minghe.

The middle-aged emperor had pale lips, graying hair, and frosty white temples. He was shrouded in a faint purple aura, and seemed to be terminally ill. However, his eyes were sharp and filled with deep hostility, like an invisible knife, rushing straight at Ming Zhidu.

"Minghe, you are such a loser. I have already fought back to the palace, but you still have to wait for the Northern Liao army to come to the rescue before you can show up again." Ming Zhidu waved his sleeves, as if he was happy. "Doesn't this mean that even you know that you are far inferior to me?"

"Ahem," Emperor Chongwen coughed twice before he could say anything. "You traitor, you are so arrogant!"

"You know very well whether I am talking nonsense or not," the prince in white walked forward again. Even though there was no one else in the courtyard except him, he was not afraid at all. He exuded an aura of absolute control that looked down on the world, which oppressed Minghe's nerves.

No one saw Ming Zhidu take action, but two hidden daggers had already broken through the wind and shot towards Ming He in the moment when everyone was silent.

Yin Luo subconsciously tried to stop it, but was a step too late.

In a flash, a pale blue light flashed by, and its back blocked Minghe!
"Father, be careful——"

The crutches that Ming Li was leaning on fell to the ground with a dull thud. Two hidden daggers pierced into his body. He spurted out blood and prostrated himself in front of Ming He's knees, "Father..."

"Li'er!" This cry was heartbreaking.

Ming He burst into tears instantly. Ignoring the pain in his heart and lungs, he reached forward to grab Ming Li who was about to fall to the ground.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" Mei Chengting and Tange hurried to support him.

"Third brother?!"

"Call the imperial physician! Imperial physician——"

"Don't waste your energy!" Ming Zhidu smiled triumphantly, but after this success, he was a little disappointed, "My hidden daggers are all poisoned, he will die in less than half a cup of tea! But, Minghe, you are really lucky, there are always people close to you who are willing to die for you! I still remember that this third child Mingli is your most beloved prince, right?"

Sure enough, Ming Li, who fell to the ground, struggled twice, then convulsed and vomited black blood, tilted his head and closed his eyes.

Ming He had no time to think about anything else. He held onto Ming Li tightly, almost coughing out his heart and lungs. "Cough, cough, cough... Shoot! Shoot for me! Kill this traitor! Li'er... my Li'er!"

The imperial guards hidden in the high platforms of the attics around Pingyang Courtyard fired arrows loudly. Thousands of arrows fell like rain, but were all deflected by Ming Zhidu.

After several rounds, his body was filled with thick white Qi, which flowed around him and formed a barrier that seemed indestructible.

Yin Luo found the right moment, she leaped up and moved the needles, using the technique of praying for rain again. The golden needles infused with internal energy mixed in with the rain of arrows, and actually broke through Ming Zhidu's true qi barrier!

Ming Zhidu turned over to avoid the attack, but when he turned back, he was almost pierced through the chest by the long sword in the hand of General Song Zhonglang who had been waiting for a long time...

In the critical moment, it was Yin Luo who saved him? !
The golden needle suddenly knocked the sword off course, and the girl in black skirt took out the needle and fixed the Mingzhidu acupoint.

General Song Zhonglang looked puzzled, "Miss Yin, what are you doing?"

"He can't die yet."

This sentence attracted everyone present to look at her. Ming He frowned, not understanding why Yin Luo was like this.

Mei Chengting's heartbeat inexplicably quickened, and he unconsciously adjusted his breathing.

Ming Fanlan half raised his eyes and looked at her, as if thinking about something.

The old man who was looking for pigeons spoke first: "Yin girl, you should be careful."

Ming Le exhaled and called out, "Sister Yin! You?"

General Song blew his beard and glared again, "Girl Yin, don't be silly!"

Only Chi Linjing looked calm, as he had guessed what Yin Luo was going to do.

The entire Pingyang Courtyard fell into an eerie silence.

Ming Zhidu had not yet shown the embarrassment of a loser. The acupuncture points where he used his true Qi were fixed by the golden needles, and his internal energy could not be released. He was a little stiff, and the blockage of his tendons and veins made his whole body hot. But he looked at Yin Luo as if to greet him: "Wan Ruotan is good to you. He can send 150,000 troops to support you at this time. They probably think that he sent troops to help Ming He, but I understand that his move is mostly to protect you. Did you see it? The guy outside Pingyang Courtyard is called Xin Jusong. He is the sworn brother of Xin Yibao, who you killed. He wants to kill you."

Yin Luo looked in the direction he said, and indeed saw a burly man with a knife glaring fiercely at the yard.

Her eyes met with the man's, and murderous intent penetrated the air, sending a chill down her spine.

"Do you think, with Wan Ruotan's arrogant personality, that he would send out 150,000 troops just to help Ming He?"

Ming Zhidu said this in a high voice. After he finished speaking, he hooked his lips at Ming He provocatively, "You're a waste."

Yin Luo didn't respond to him. She took a half step back, glanced sideways at Chi Linjing, and then looked back at Ming Zhidu.

In a voice that everyone present could hear, he asked, "What's going on with the crystal coffin in the Princess's villa in the suburbs of Baizhou Wanli Mountain?"

The courtyard was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The smile on Ming Zhidu's lips gradually disappeared, and his eyes were dark and turbulent, like the rolling waves of the East China Sea.

Minghe didn't understand and frowned even deeper.

Mei Chengting broke out in a cold sweat.

Ming Fanlan and Tange were both a little puzzled, but they decided to listen quietly.

The man in green robe walked up to Yin Luo at the right time and said, "The East Sea is rich in ice-white crystals. You and Princess Mingjin were close friends. Do you know the cause of her death?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding over Minghe's head.

The middle-aged emperor coughed violently in disbelief, coughing up two large mouthfuls of black blood. He almost cried, "What did you say? Jin'er, she? Gone? Cough cough cough, Jin'er, she, it's impossible! She even gave me a gift for the New Year this year..."

"Anyone who is interested can send the gift." Yin Luo didn't even look at them, but only looked at Ming Zhidu. "We think you didn't kill her. You wouldn't kill her. But you should know who killed her, right?"

Hearing the words "You won't kill her", Ming Zhidu's eyes turned red and he was surprised to find his nose was sour.

"Of course I won't kill her!"

He glanced at everyone not far away, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to overwhelm the Pingyang Courtyard.
