Chapter 69 Entering the Palace and Killing the Concubine

"Miss Cang, have you found out the whereabouts of the secret manual of the Bone-Eroding Yinfeng Finger?"

Li Musheng turned around and asked Cang Yinyue.

Cang Yinyue nodded, looked at the ruins of the house beside him, and said:

"I'll look for it later, I should be able to find it."

Li Musheng nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, let Miss Cang handle the affairs here. Remember to find me at the Tianjin Guard Headquarters tomorrow."

After saying that, he looked at Shangguan Qingqing beside him and said:

"Miss Qingqing, let's talk next time when we're free. I have some work to do tonight, so I'll leave first."

Hearing this, Shangguan Qingqing was about to speak, but the next moment, Li Musheng's figure suddenly disappeared from their sight.

"Where is the person...?"

Shangguan Qingqing searched everywhere but could not find any trace of Li Musheng.

"He's too fast!"

Although Shangguan Qingqing already had a great degree of knowledge about Li Musheng's strength, this terrifying and invisible body movement could only confuse anyone who saw it.

Cang Yinyue, who was standing next to him, also had her pupils shrink when she saw this scene.

But soon, she took a deep breath, shook her head and murmured:

"Don't compare yourself to him, don't compare yourself to him. He's not a normal warrior, so anything abnormal he does is perfectly normal."

"Sister, why are you reciting tongue twisters?" Shangguan Qingqing looked curious.

"That's not the case, Miss Qingqing. Why did you call him His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince just now?"

"Don't you know about this? It's spread all over the city..."

……

After leaving Cangyuan Hou Mansion, Li Musheng headed towards the Dali Palace, which was located in the center of Shangyang City.

He is not a man who likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

But there is no other way. Now that we have encountered it, if we don’t kill someone like Concubine Ji, should we keep her for the New Year?

At the same time, the Dali Palace, shrouded in darkness, was like a majestic, mysterious, and silent giant beast.

The tall vermilion walls stand majestically. Behind the walls, there is a watchtower at regular intervals, with soldiers on the towers vigilantly observing and patrolling day and night.

The gates of the palace were all closed at night, and fully armed guards were standing in front of the gates. Teams of soldiers patrolled back and forth in various parts of the palace from time to time. The sound of armor colliding and the orderly footsteps were particularly clear in the silent night.

The Dali Palace is heavily guarded. In addition to the guards in plain sight, there are many secret sentries and ingenious mechanisms hidden in the palace.

More importantly, there are many powerful martial arts masters who are hiding their identities in the palace. It can be said that even masters at the level of heaven and man cannot sneak into the palace without being discovered.

Deep in the inner palace, in front of a wide palace road stands a luxurious palace, which is the residence of Concubine Ji - Yixin Palace.

The candlelight flickered in the Yixin Palace, the curtains fluttered in the night wind, and the candlelight made the entire palace look like a dream.

Concubine Ji, dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, sat cross-legged on the couch, her palms facing the sky and her eyes closed.

Although she is nearly fifty years old, her skin is as white as snow, delicate and smooth, like mutton-fat white jade.

There isn't even a single wrinkle on his face, and his appearance hasn't changed much, just like when he was in his twenties.

At this moment, strands of crimson Qi flowed through her meridians, causing the air around her to slowly swirl, forming an aura several feet in radius. Within this aura, a faint crimson energy surged, and blood-colored afterimages occasionally burst out from her body, then quickly dissipated in mid-air.

Concubine Ji's face sometimes showed a hint of slight pain, sometimes a hint of ferocity, and finally she suddenly opened her eyes, with a flash of blood in her eyes.

"Someone is coming."

As soon as her cold voice was heard, an old maid brought in a rosewood tray.

There was a dark red pill placed on the wooden tray. Concubine Ji hooked her finger, and a blood-red thread flowed out from her fingertips, quickly rolling up the pill through the air and instantly falling into her mouth and swallowed it.

Soon, the pain in her body seemed to disappear, and she slowly said:

"How many Blood Transformation Pills are left?"

"There are not many left. There are only three left."

The old lady spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Your Majesty, should I go and urge Madam Zhu to prepare this month's blood food in time?"

Concubine Ji waved her hand and said:
"No need, I'm at ease with my sister's work."

As she spoke, she picked up a bronze mirror on the soft couch beside her, looked at her face in the mirror, and said with a smile:

"Fortunately, I was quite lucky. By chance, I obtained such a magical skill, which allowed me to restore my former appearance. The concubines in the palace don't know how envious and jealous I am!"

Hearing this, the old nanny showed a cruel smile on her face and said:

"Your Highness has only been eating blood for a few years, yet you've already achieved eternal youth. Perhaps you'll even achieve immortality in the future?"

"Immortality is not my thing, but Zhu'er is not destined to be an emperor."

Concubine Ji sighed, put down the bronze mirror in her hand, and looked resentful:
"I only wish Your Majesty could be closer to me, but unfortunately, Your Majesty is obsessed with martial arts training and has not been close to women for many years. Now, my only pleasure in this deep palace is to show off in front of the other concubines!"

The old nanny's eyes flickered as she said flatteringly:
"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. Hard work pays off. If His Majesty gets the urge one day, you'll be the only lovely lady left in the palace. Who else can he favor?"

"Moreover, the Third Prince possesses both military and civil skills, and possesses extraordinary intelligence. He may not be without the opportunity to ascend to the throne in the future."

Concubine Ji's eyes moved, a gleam of brilliance flashed in them, and she pondered:
"You remind me that His Majesty just recognized Concubine Jing's son today. New people are better than old ones. In the coming days, he will probably receive more favors than the other princes. We can try to win him over and perhaps become Zhu'er's helper."

Hearing this, the old nanny narrowed her eyes and was about to speak.

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly rang out from the huge palace:

"I heard you want to win me over?"

When these words were spoken, Concubine Ji was shocked and stood up suddenly. The blood-colored true energy around her body vibrated, making the curtains in the hall rustle.

The old nanny had a sinister look in her eyes as she stood beside Concubine Ji and looked towards the center of the hall.

A young figure appeared there at some point. He was dressed in a simple robe and stood quietly under the candlelight in the hall.

"Escort! Escort!"

Concubine Ji immediately called out in a deep voice, and her urgent voice echoed throughout the palace.

She naturally knew that although the man in front of her was young, how could anyone who could break into the Dali Palace be an ordinary person?

call!call!call!
Dozens of maids and eunuchs leaped in rapidly from outside the Yixin Palace. Each of them was very powerful. Judging from the martial arts aura they displayed, the weakest of them had reached the master level.

These maids and eunuchs surrounded Li Musheng in the center of the hall, locking onto his breath with their martial arts energy, their eyes revealing undisguised murderous intent.

Li Musheng pretended not to notice this, looked around at everyone, and said slowly:
"Everyone is here. I don't like killing innocent people. I have sealed off the area within a radius of thirty meters with my Qi. From now on, whether you live or die depends on whether you deserve it."
